Zhu Youning could feel that Li Tuobei was extremely unhappy at this time.

Although his loneliness was hidden under his smile, she could understand the melancholy of missing his relatives every festive season.

"Brother Bei, are you homesick?"

The little girl's voice was delicate and soft, with some careful cherishing and flattery.

Li Tuobei's heart moved when he heard this, he lowered his head and rubbed her bangs, and said with a forced smile: "No, I don't even know what my family is like, what do you have to think?" ”

Zhu Youning saw him so sad, and even squeezed out a smile to coax her, which couldn't help but feel distressed and empathetic.

Could it be that Li Tuobei is also a fatherless and motherless child?

Zhu Youning wanted to ask, but he was afraid of poking his sadness, so he only sniffed, pulled his sleeve and said, "It's okay, Brother Bei, you can take my family as your own in the future, my father and my mother like you very much." ”

Li Tuobei was warmed by her serious appearance, knowing that the little girl might be thinking too much, but she still smiled and nodded:

"Okay, I'll play with you when it's okay in the future. I also like your dad and your mom a lot. I see that your father's temperament is very responsible, unlike the legend of outsiders, has your family been harmed? ”

Zhu Youning shrugged, "Obviously." You just said, is it not that all mothers love children, I can tell you, no. Some women are blindly selfish, for their own status, wealth, and other things they want, they only know how to please men, and they don't care about the life or death of their children, such women are actually not worthy of being mothers. ”

Li Tuobei nodded, "Actually, I have seen some of the world, but after coming to your house, it was really eye-opening." ”

"Long knowledge, right?"

"Hah, yes."

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, the button meat had already arranged the fireworks in a row.

Li Tuobei asked everyone to take a lit incense, "Let's go and point it together later, I'll count three!" ”

There are a total of eight fireworks boxes, Li Tuobei, Zhu Youning, Bailing and Nightingale, plus Li Tuobei's four entourage, each of whom is responsible for ordering one.

Li Tuobei counted: "Three, two, one!"

Zhu Youning lit the fuse and ran back.

Eight boxes of fireworks were lit together, and the fireworks flew into the sky, exploding red and green flowers and yellow stars in the dark sky.

Although the color of the fireworks was a little simpler, Zhu Youning was still overjoyed when he looked up at the fireworks blooming with brilliant brilliance.

They set off a lot of fireworks here, and the noise was loud, and many neighbors around them were looking up in the yard.

In the old mansion of the Zhu family, everyone who was guarding the New Year couldn't sit still, dressed neatly, and took fireworks to the yard to burn.

Zhu Youning and Li Tuobei finished their fireworks and firecrackers, and looked at the fire trees and silver flowers on the side of the old house for a while, and sighed in unison: "It's really rich!" ”

At this time, Aunt Jiang looked up at the fireworks in the direction of the main courtyard, and two lines of tears slipped down from the corners of her eyes.

This year is the most miserable year she has had since she entered the Bai family.

The beloved daughter has become someone else's child, and she can't easily meet without talking, and seeing her is like seeing an enemy.

At the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, Wei Ruixuan did not have a backbone, so naturally she would not be invited.

The people who each had their own homes, and they all went home to be reunited. Now she is left alone.

However, the eldest lord's family of three offended the second master outside, and the second wife couldn't find the main revenge, but they closed the door to deduct Wei Ruixuan's monthly case.

She is an aunt, and her monthly money is limited, and in the past, the huge Wei Ruixuan supported a group of servants and maids, relying on the silver of the master, the wife and the young lady.

Now she wants to enjoy the glory of Wei Ruixuan, but she has to pay out of her own pocket, where is she willing to do it?

The days were not going well, her daughter was born, and the silver was lost, Aunt Jiang covered her face sadly and cried, and she didn't even have the heart to watch the fireworks.

And Aunt Jiang's Zhu You'an, who was thinking about her at this time, was being arranged by the fourth wife in the fourth room to go back to the room to copy the female ring.

"If you learn more about women's precepts, you will know what you should and shouldn't do. Don't blame me for being a mother and being you. If you were the flesh that fell from me, I would teach you as much as I could. But if I don't be strict with you, if you make any mistake one day, won't you blame me on my head? ”

The fourth wife reasoned with Zhu You'an without smiling.

Even though Zhu You'an was full of grievances in his heart, he didn't dare to shed a single tear, and he was well-behaved with a smile on his face, "Thank you for your mother's teaching." ”

"Well, if you understand my hard work, go ahead."

The fourth lady waved her hand, like a fly.

Zhu You'an stood up in embarrassment and retreated.

Before going out, she saw the children in the fourth room, led by Zhu Youmi and Zhu Yanping, who were playing leaf cards in a lively place.

Zhu You'an returned to the cold room alone, listening to the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside, smelling the smell of gunpowder in the air, and couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

She really regretted it!

knew that today, she shouldn't have listened to her aunt's words and agreed to succeed.

I heard that now my father has bought a house outside, and my wife has also brought it back. People eat and drink spicy food outside, but she is no longer Zhu Huating's daughter.

Compared with Aunt Jiang and Zhu You'an, the Sun family is even more gloomy.

Sun Erlang carried a food box of black lacquered sour branches and made a lot of silver, so that he could visit the county jail on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The cell was cold and damp, and the shopkeeper Sun Da curled up on the moldy grass, looking at Sun Erlang who was squatting outside the cell door with a blank expression.

"Dad, eat while it's hot, this is the family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Sun Erlang's crying tears and snot were snotty, and he took out the dishes and chopsticks and handed them over along the gap in the railing.

The shopkeeper did not answer.

He seemed to be thinner.

The sticks of wood on his body supported a piece of skin, as if he could be torn apart with a single break.

The shopkeeper Sun said: "Hurry up and make money, go to the door, go to find the second master, ask the second master to help, and beg him to raise his noble hand!" On the fifth day of the first month, the yamen will be sealed, and before the seal is opened, the big things will be turned into small things, and the small things will be turned into small things, or your father will choke to death if he eats prison food, and there will be few good faces in this life! ”

"Daddy! I know, I know, you were there to do things for that one, and now ......"

"You idiot, you can't mention this matter at this time, do you know? Now that you mention it, it's a threat, do you understand? You are going to intercede now, in order to make people feel compassion, people have a big business, and they are still afraid of our threat? ”

Sun Erlang was sprayed with saliva on his face, and nodded in fright: "I know." Dad, you eat first. ”

Shopkeeper Sun looked at his son who had not grown up, shook his head, and picked up the bowl with tears in his eyes.

This was the most shabby Chinese New Year's Eve meal he had ever eaten in his life.
