"Oops, why did you come back with so many things?" Ding asked in surprise when he saw what his husband was holding in his hand and the big bag of things in his son's hand.

"Mother, be quiet. Hurry inside. Qiao Yun stepped forward and pulled his mother into his yard, and Qiao Lin and his youngest son Qiao Zhen followed.

"What are you doing? What can't be said, where did these things come from? She just took a cursory look, there is food, useful, who is so generous. These things cost a lot of silver taels, to say the least.

"All right, stand in the courtyard and say, 'What is it?' Call everybody. Qiao Lin spoke, and Ding didn't dare to make a mistake, so he turned around and called the two daughters-in-law to the hall.

Soon, the hall was filled with all the people of the Qiao family, and the population was really quite a lot.

"Dad, what's the matter with you letting us come? I'm still cooking on this pot. "The eldest daughter-in-law is a hearty person, and she is also a person who has something to say, so the Qiao family is generally harmonious.

"I have something to say today, so don't stand still, sit down."

Generally, the men at home are not allowed to sit, and the women are not allowed to sit down privately, as soon as Qiao Lin said let them sit down, the two daughters-in-law dared to sit down, and the position of the sitting was the lower position. This is the sorrow of feudal society.

"The eldest child, the second child, the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, our family is not divided, in the past, the money from the two families was handed over to the public middle school, and now each family pays 200 wen every month, and you keep all the rest of the money, do you have any objections?" He thought about this matter for a long time, and took advantage of this Chinese New Year to bring it up to see what his sons and daughters-in-law thought.

"Dad, we don't have any ideas, you just decide." Qiao Yun didn't expect his father to suddenly mention this, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"Yes, Dad, it's good for you to decide, we have no objection."

"What about you?" Qiao Lin looked at the two daughters-in-law, what he said today was actually for his daughter-in-law, he still knew what kind of son was like Lao Tzu, but the daughter-in-law definitely didn't think like that, she must have thought about holding the money in her own hands to feel steady. His daughter-in-law also came over like that, can you not understand?

"Dad, I listen to Brother Yun." The eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Xiuzhu, raised her head to meet her father-in-law's eyes and said.

"What about the second one?"

"Dad, I'm okay." Give Gongzhong two hundred wen a month, and the rest is her own, how can she have an opinion, this is a good thing, although there is no major contradiction between her and her sister-in-law, but sometimes there will be some trivial things that are pulled endlessly for money, and now the money is in her own hands, what is she not satisfied.

"Since you don't have any opinions, let's start with the New Year." Qiao Lin said conclusively.

"Dad, is there anything else? If not, I'll go cook. ”

"Wait, divide these things into a portion, and each of the things you use will be your own, and you will eat what you eat."

"Dad, where did these things come from?" Gu Fangfang was particularly curious.

"Xi girl gave it, saying that it was a New Year's gift. Speaking of which, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, you should remember to prepare some things, no matter how much, you can just get your heart. ”

"Yes, Dad." The two daughters-in-law smiled very brightly when they heard that it was given by Qiao Xi, and they didn't have much to worry about preparing a return gift on the second day of the new year, Qiao Xi knew their situation, and would not think that the things they took out were cheap, so they looked down on them.

"Sort it out, get it done, and go cook." He was also a little hungry at this point.

The people who took the things back, everyone exclaimed a lot, especially Qiao Shan, Qiao Xin and Qiao Dapeng's family was even more obvious.

One or two wages a month, food and shelter, my son was raised for nothing, and at the end of the year, there was such a good thing, and I was given so many things, which was really taken into account.

These three families are all honest and duty-bound, and they have gained so many benefits, they always feel that they can't get over it, and they specially instructed their sons to work hard when they go to work, and they must not be lazy and slippery.

Qiao Shan, how could they do such a thankless job, they finally got such a job, and they couldn't cherish it.

Besides, the shopkeeper said, next year will give them a wage increase, no matter how much, they are also happy, the business of the cookie house they are all in the eyes, even if such a bad thing happened, but it did not really affect anything, but the business is better than before, especially the cake, as soon as someone has a birthday, they will book the cake in advance, and they will also say their own requirements, so the cake has become very popular, the six-inch cake is five taels of silver, the eight-inch cake is ten taels, and the ten-inch eighteen taels, If each layer of cake is designed together, add one or two silver on the original basis, the price of the cake will be different, in short, order the cake list, they receive the order softly, especially before they close down, every day before dawn began to rush to work, which is to complete all the lists, although the hard work is hard, but it is very worthwhile.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Qiao family was busy, but the one who should practice was still practicing, and an hour later, Qiao Xi finished practicing and came to the kitchen to help Narcissus and them.

This year, Qiao's family is more prosperous, Qiao Xi and Narcissus made a big table of good dishes, today she directly let everyone celebrate the New Year together, regardless of master and servant, try to eat, drink as much as possible, the New Year, just to be happy and lively.

After dinner, Qiao Xi and Narcissus went into the kitchen again, preparing to make dumplings, the dumpling filling was prepared early in the morning, and now there are only noodles and dumplings left.

Dumpling making is a very good family interaction project, after the noodles are reconciled, the whole family sits in the flower hall and starts the dumpling making project collectively. Narcissus and Chunhua are responsible for rolling the skin, and the rest of the people, whether they can or not, all have to make dumplings, and some dumplings have secrets, some are put peanuts in them, some are put in peppers, some are put in copper plates, and there are all kinds of things, everything.

At first, everyone's dumpling wraps were crooked, and some were even broken, but as time went by, slowly everyone got started, and the dumplings that were wrapped became more and more beautiful.

When the dumplings were wrapped and it was free, Qiao Xi called everyone to him and gave everyone a red envelope, Furong and each of them gave fifty taels, He Youjun and they came late, but everyone also wrapped ten taels of silver.

Qiao Xi has always been more generous in this regard, she has earned a lot of money, and she will not be stingy with this little money.

When Furong and the others came to Qiao's house, they also brought a lot of money, and they all took the initiative to hand it over to Qiao Xi, but how could Qiao Xi be willing to take it, so to put it mildly, although Qiao Xi finally accepted it, he helped them save it.

Ten taels of silver, they are different from He Youjun, they themselves are the death deed bought by Qiao Xi, there is no need to give them silver at all, the master called them to do any work, they can't have any objections, but they didn't expect that they still have silver taels to take, which made them very moved.

Even Lin Feng got the red envelope given by Qiao Xi, but it was not much, but it was also her heart.

directly made Lin Feng blush, what is this called, he is such a big person, he can be her father, and he actually has to take money from juniors.

"Girl, uncle don't want it." If he did, he wouldn't have the face to stay here.

"Didn't you come to my house to be a cow or a horse, then you can take what I give you." Qiao Xicai didn't care how ugly Lin Feng's face was, if he didn't accept it, it would be his.

"Girl, it's really inappropriate for me to take money."

"What's not right, it's just the mind. Money can still burn your hands. ”

"Don't just don't."

"If you don't take it, then you can go." Hmph, see if you can take it, I don't believe that it can't cure you. Qiao Xi raised his eyebrows and said.

"Girl, you can't do this, where do you let me go during the New Year." Why was she threatened again, is it really good for the little girl to do this?

For the New Year, where can he go?

"I don't care about this, choose one of the two, you can do it." As soon as Qiao Xi's stubborn temper came up, no one could stop it. city

Lin Feng looked at Qiao Song with eyes as if asking for help, hoping that he could come forward to stop it, but unfortunately, Qiao Song quickly turned his head and didn't see it.

Just kidding, my sister is in charge of the family, how can I lose her face at this time, I didn't see it, he also held a red envelope, his mentality was correct, and there was nothing.

"Uncle, you see that my brother is useless, I didn't see that he also has one in his hand." Qiao Xi waited for him with wide eyes.

Lin Feng was forced to be helpless in the end, so he could only accept it with a red face, this old face was really lost here.

This night, when the New Year was celebrated, everyone was not bored, and the atmosphere was not too good while eating dumplings while playing cards.

After the year, when each family went to relatives, the Qiao family was from outside, and there was nothing to move around here at all.

Nest up at home and enjoy a rare tranquility.

Not long after breakfast, Qiao Xi had a whim, wanted to eat hot pot, and ate it if he wanted, without hesitation.

I took a big bone and began to boil the soup base of the hot pot, and pulled the spring flowers and narcissus to prepare other ingredients.

"You don't care?" Lin Feng sat idly on the side, drinking tea, and playing against Qiao Song.

Qiao's family didn't have Go, Lin Feng specially went to the town to buy it, although the quality of the things was a little worse, it was better than nothing, and he bought it back happily, but he was told that no one would play, and he didn't dare to let her accompany the person who would play, that girl always liked to threaten him, and he was afraid of it now.

can only pull Qiao Song, at most he will work hard to teach him, hey, this Qiao Song is really fast enough to learn, and now he can survive an hour playing against him, so there is the following scene.

"I can't take care of it." Qiao Song didn't feel at all how failed he was when he said this, but he could faintly detect the slightest pride.

Lin Feng held the day and shook his head in disappointment, this was definitely brainwashed, otherwise how could he be so reasonable, he didn't feel embarrassed by a man's face.

"I'm not ashamed of what you say."

"What's there to be ashamed of, she's my sister. I'm proud. I can't get down, hurry up. Qiao Song urged.

"Down, why don't you go down." Retracted his gaze and landed on the chessboard again, at this time his black characters had been eaten by Qiao Song, and there was not much left. "You kid stole my son while I wasn't looking." He's just a careless, how could he be destroyed so much, the kid is too treacherous, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door, but also a heartfelt.

"Uncle, what nonsense, what did I do when I stole your son, I didn't do it well, who is to blame."

"~~~" Lin Feng didn't say anything, his brain was running quickly, to see if he could save the current situation, if he lost to a beginner, he would buy a piece of tofu and hit it.

There are many people in the family, Qiao Xi prepared two pots, and everyone was still a little curious when they saw such a hot pot at first glance. They usually eat hot pot, but they don't call it hot pot, it's called hot pot, and it's not as good-looking as Qiao Xi made, there are actually two colors, this look is different from what they usually eat.

What Qiao Xi prepared was that the soup base and the dishes were separated, and there was a charcoal stove under the pot, and the soup in the pot was still boiling.

"Girl, is this called hot pot?" Narcissus asked uncertainly.

Qiao Xi nodded, and asked everyone to sit down and prepare to eat hot pot, "That's right, my hot pot is different from what we usually eat, see those ingredients on the side, those have been processed, which one you want to eat, use chopsticks to put it in the pot and blanch it, and then put it in the bowl with dipping sauce in front of you, dip it in a little special sauce, and you can eat it." Saying that, Qiao Xi personally gave them a demonstration, sandwiched a thin piece of pork and stretched it into the fiery pot to scald, and then took out the meat when it was already cooked, looking at the little brother's greedy appearance, put the meat slices into the little brother's dishes.

Qiao Bai nodded with a smile: "It's delicious, sister, it's delicious." It's just a little spicy. "It's delicious, it's just spicy, he can't stand it, if he doesn't eat spicy often, he probably will have been spicy and out of tears.

"Who made you look at me so pitifully, the red soup base is a spicy pot, and I have put less of it. Hurry up and drink some water to relieve the spicy. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay." Qiao Bai smirked.

Seeing that Qiao Bai was obviously spicy, but he also put vegetables in the spicy pot to eat them, they couldn't help but move one by one, and followed Qiao Xi's example to stretch the meat into the pot and scald it, and then scoop it up when it was cooked, dip it in the sauce and put it in the mouth, don't say, the taste is really indescribably cool.

This meat is particularly chewy, and it is also very flavorful, everyone almost eats around the red pot, and after a while, everyone's faces are red, and the lips are slightly swollen, and even the sweat is falling.

In the winter, for people who don't have a dragon, they can eat such a hot pot, and their whole body can boil up, if they can eat such a hot pot every day, who is afraid of this cold winter.

Jun Lichen finally rushed back to the capital the day before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the smell of the new year in the capital is stronger than that of Fuyang County, in the end, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the ability is not comparable to other places, and the competition between families attracts people from all sides.

Princess Jing didn't see her son for a few months, a strong heart and liver baby screamed, a burst of cold and warmth, Jun Lichen finally couldn't stand his mother's warm greetings, and found an excuse to go back to his Four Seasons Pavilion, how could his mother always like to treat him as a child, and the words he said would always give him goosebumps, in the end, he was his own mother, and he couldn't say anything excessive, otherwise his favorite wife's father would definitely look for him to fight, although he couldn't do it every time, but he really didn't want to be tossed like this.

Back in King Jing's Mansion, he is the prince of the little devil king who is high above.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, officials above the third rank need to bring their families to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner set by the emperor in the palace, and the emperor sealed the pen three days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and everything must wait until the year before making plans, the ministers all know this rule, and the emperor is the most idle in these three days, and he can not get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than pigs.

Three days is a very fast time, but it is a matter of the blink of an eye.

The palace set up a banquet, the hard work is actually the ministers, in the winter, those dishes are served early, and when the ministers are seated, the emperor said that you can eat, how can this dish be eaten, it is frozen, eat into the stomach, the next day is likely to have a stomach, this has also become a commonplace, the doctors in the capital on the first day of the new year, will be in full battle.

"Brother Chen, where have you been, I've been back to Kyoto for a few days, and I haven't seen you yet. Did you miss me? As soon as a playful and cute girl saw Jun Lichen, her eyes lit up, and she instantly appeared in front of him and asked sweetly.

"Who are you?" Jun Lichen looked impatiently at the little girl in front of him who was only on his chest, he didn't have this person in his impression at all.

When the girl heard Jun Lichen's words, she immediately hid her face and cried, not believing that her brother Chen had forgotten her.

"Don't bother, get out of the way." After scolding, he took off his robe and left directly, leaving the girl crying in place. Jun Lichen is the most annoying girl who cries at every turn, I don't know what they are crying about, what is there to cry about!

Now the girl exploded directly, crying heartbreakingly.

Her cry quickly attracted the attention of many people, and everyone looked at her, and some noble girls had never seen a girl, so they asked their mother softly: "Mother, who is that person, why are you crying here for the New Year." Isn't that bad luck? ”

"Shhh, be quiet, she is the county lord of Mingyang, the granddaughter of the Wing King." The official's wife tugged at her daughter's sleeve, pretending not to see it, and continued to walk forward.

When the girl who spoke heard that it was the granddaughter of the Winged King, she stopped speaking and followed in her mother's footsteps towards the banquet ground.

didn't cry for a while, the county lord of Mingyang raised his head, but found that Jun Lichen had long disappeared, and stomped his feet angrily in place, hum, you wait for me, I will go to the imperial uncle to comment later.

After Jun Lichen left, he found a secluded place to hide, and waited until the banquet was about to start, then he straightened his clothes and walked without worry.

The county lord of Mingyang came to the banquet venue and did not find Jun Lichen, but found Princess Jing, and ran to her with an aggrieved face and began to complain, counting Jun Lichen down.
