Chapter 448: A Powerful Alliance, Rich and Rival Country!
Jiayin saw Dongmei waving her hand, so she hugged her grandmother and said, "Grandma, you take these things, give them away or eat them at our house, you have the final say, I'll go to my father's yard to play for a while." ”
With that, she lifted her leg and ran to the next door.
Master Hou has been in the city for the past few days, and the courtyard is very quiet.
Dongmei put the account book and the small box in the side room and went to get busy.
Leaving Jiayin to open the box, the golden light was dazzling, but tears flowed from the corners of his mouth......
If you have a chance in the future, you must go to Zhengjiazhuang to see!
What kind of fairy Zhuangzi is this, the benefits of a year are almost comparable to the hot spring valley, a full four hundred taels of gold!
Originally, it was some skilled craftsmen, if it was coupled with her "whimsy", wouldn't it be a strong alliance and a rich country!
Waha, rich, rich!
Not to mention that Jiayin was happily rolling on the kang next door, even Mrs. Li couldn't close her mouth to the pile of New Year's goods.
"The third daughter-in-law, take Wen Juan to pickle the duck eggs and goose eggs, and bring some when you go back to Luo'an after the New Year. In case you can't cook at noon, boil some porridge for the boys, and send it away with a salted egg per person. ”
Mrs. Li smiled and assigned tasks to her daughter-in-law, and said, "Hongying, the wild boar will be distributed to the people in the village for a while." Our family kept one venison, and the other was divided among the Liu family and the Peng family, and Mr. Wen and Jinrou didn't need it, they all said that they wanted to come to our house for the New Year.
"Dried mushrooms are also given to all families in the village, and a handful is put in when the chicken is stewed, so it tastes good. It's a pity that we don't grow mushrooms on these two hills of Broken Gold Beach! ”
While they were talking, Hou Ye and Li Laosi came back from the city.
Seeing that the old girls in the family were busy picking up things, Hou Ye smiled and said, "Is this Yeshan and Dongmei back?" ”
"Yes, Master Hou, Zhuangzi has sent a lot of things over there. I don't know if the dealers have left more for themselves? It's been a busy year, and they should have a good year. "Mrs. Li is kind-hearted, and she always feels that she has reaped a year's hard work from others, and she can't go away.
Hou Ye waved his hand, "Don't worry, auntie, a few years ago, Zhuangzi also gave it to me like this, and they have their own number, which is enough for the New Year." ”
After speaking, he diverted the conversation and said, "I asked for leave with the emperor, during the New Year, you and Fu Niu'er don't have to go to the palace banquet, and you don't have to go to the palace to kowtow on the first day of the new year, just spend the New Year at home." ”
Sure enough, Mrs. Li was even happier, "Really? That's great! It's not that we don't respect the emperor, but we really don't understand the rules and are afraid of making mistakes. After the year, let Mama He teach us well, but we have to learn the rules well. ”
After a few more words of gossip, Jiayin heard the news and ran back from next door, she threw herself directly into the arms of the Hou Ye, and asked in a loud voice, "Father-in-law, father-in-law, did you send the New Year's gift to the imperial uncle?" ”
"It's sent, your imperial uncle is very happy." Hou Ye hugged the fat girl and sat on his lap, and said with a smile, "He also said that the good things before were not given in vain, and your little niece also knows that she is worried about him." ”
"And then, then what?" Jiayin blinked his big eyes, glanced left and right, but he didn't see anything good in his father's hand, so he drooped his head in disappointment.
Hou Ye laughed, and took out a pair of mutton fat jade Ruyi from his arms, each the size of a palm, milky white, only the peony flower carved on Ruyi's head with a light red.
The sunlight outside the window shines through the crack in the window and onto Ruyi's body, which is brilliant and beautiful.
"Oops, is this for me?" The good news is like a seedling that has received nectar, and immediately it is propped up.
She hugged Yu Ruyi, jumping and jumping happily, provoking Mrs. Li to pick up with her hand, while complaining, "Little ancestor, you can be careful, don't fall such a good thing!" ”
Jiayin held the jade Ruyi one by one, as if holding a dumbbell, whirring and hey, shaking his head and tail, dancing a group of demons, and then ran away.
Needless to say, this is running to hide secretly.
Everyone couldn't laugh, but no one said that they wanted to ask for Yu Ruyi.
Wen Juan saw it in her eyes and once again had a clear understanding of her sister-in-law's favor.
Hou Ye glanced at her, and saw that her eyes were full of envy and curiosity, but there was no jealousy, so he let go.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, because Hou Ye, Li Laoer, and Mr. Wen had to enter the palace for a banquet in the evening, so the reunion dinner of the Li family was placed at noon.
There had been a discussion in advance, and the village chief and Aunt Wu also ate with the Li family this time, so they came over early.
plus Uncle Zhao and others, Mr. Jiang brought Gu Li, Mr. Wen brought Wen Hai, Mrs. Cui brought Sister-in-law Qiong, and Doctor Zhang, Li Yong's family of four made up almost forty people.
Only Liu Dart's family, because they added a big fat boy and planned to reunite with their family of four, so they didn't come.
The Li family directly opened four tables of banquets, two tables in the east room, where women and children were seated, and two tables in the west room and the hall house, which were distributed to the old and young masters who liked to drink.
Tao Hongying and Jia Huan simply used their skills to make all the good dishes they were good at, and even had new dishes that had never been launched in cyclamen.
Everyone was satisfied, especially the old men, who were all half-drunk, red-faced, and very happy.
Looking back on the hard work of the year, and then looking forward to the prospects of the new year, everyone's wine bowls will be served more diligently.
Worried that Hou Ye and the others were going to enter the palace, the banquet would disperse before dark, otherwise I was afraid that I would be able to drink until midnight.
The old and young masters looked for the big kang, fell asleep, and sobered up.
The women kept an eye on the naughty boys while making dumplings and gossiping.
Jiayin ate very much, so she couldn't avoid sleepiness, and slept on the kang head, as if she was woken up by her grandmother after a while.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, they eat dumplings, which is a habit they bring from the Northland.
The family likes to eat meat filling, but Jiayin aims at leek and egg filling, which is particularly delicious in such a winter night.
Jiayin ate more than a dozen in one go, and was completely refreshed.
In the second half of the night, everyone slept, and she tossed and turned, her big eyes like brass bells.
Simply, she quietly got up, lay on the windowsill and listened to the wind and firecrackers outside, and secretly sighed.
Another year older, already a five-year-old child!
If she could, she would rather never grow up.
You don't have to face the wind, frost, rain and snow of this world, you don't have to face those intrigues, you don't have to face hypocrisy, truth and evil.
She just wants to guard her family, be a little pistachio, and live a warm and happy life.
It's a pity that the years won't stop because of anyone.
At dawn, the new year arrived, and the new year arrived.
Jia An Jiaxi and a few naughty boys don't know what their sister is struggling with, but they are looking forward to the red eyes of this day.
When they got up early, they changed their clothes and pants, and before they even opened their eyes, they began to kowtow to the old men, uncles and uncles to greet the New Year, and then harvest the "New Year's money".
Jiayin followed behind, and was helped up before he knelt down.
She is the county lord, who dares to accept her courtesy, not to mention that everyone is reluctant to let her knees touch the cold ground.
So, Jiayin's purse bulged again, and she finally showed a smile.
It's a pity that Hou Ye, Li Lao Er and others came back from the palace, and she wilted again!
