Xu Yue stretched out her hand to help Zhao Bei up, and turned her head to look at her family, "The trade in Juyong City has just begun, and it is an important border pass, so there can't be no one. ”

"Daddy and Auntie, you stay here and sit in the town, Auntie, the three of us will go to Zhuo County, and while solving Zhao Yu and others, we will inspect the other counties in Youzhou by the way, and consolidate the influence of the Xu family army in various places."

The four of them looked at each other and had no objections.

The matter was settled like this, and after dinner, Zhao Bei left with Zhao Adou, and Ah Jian stayed at Xu's house and slept in the guest room.

The wind and snow were heavy at night, and when people woke up, the sky and the earth were silvery white.

With such a heavy snowfall, the road was difficult, and Xu Yue's plan to go to Zhuo County could only be postponed for a month.

Wait until the end of the day, when the temperature warms up and the snow melts.

However, the snow fell so heavily that Zhao Yu and the others on the Zhuo County side couldn't take action.

It seems that everyone has such a consciousness, so this New Year's Day, everyone is more relaxed and happy.

In the past two years, Xu Yue has been busy with turf, and Xu Yue found that her family had not had a good New Year for a long time.

Juyong City is the most short of good goods, merchants from all over the world gather here, you can see a very complete range of goods in this small city.

The day before New Year's Day, the three-day annual leave begins.

Heavy snow can't dispel people's enthusiasm for buying New Year's goods.

The business of the braised butcher shop is the best, and before dawn, the residents living in the city come early to line up, just to buy a good dish for this year's New Year's Day banquet.

When the city gates opened, the villagers who had taken the morning bus from the surrounding villages and towns also arrived.

Everyone carried empty baskets in their hands and empty baskets on their backs, specially for the purchase.

"Guest officer, do you want a handful of cotton thread? The year-end sale, as long as you spend more than 500 yuan in the convenience store, you can get a 20% discount directly! ”

"Fresh vegetables in the shed, add green to your table at the New Year's banquet, and relatives can't be envious to death? The last few are gone, and if you don't buy them, you won't have them! I won't be out of the stall tomorrow! ”

Hearing this, the villagers, who were not going to buy such a precious thing as winter vegetables, couldn't help but rush to the stalls, as if they would lose a lot if they didn't buy them.

"Couplet, couplet! The red and glamorous couplets are festive! The couplet of the leader's own pen is pasted on the door, and no one can say that we are literate! ”

It was a strange thing, and people had never seen it before, and when they heard the hawkers shouting like this, they all gathered together.

An Mi put one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand was holding a hot bun and gnawing on it, and he sighed to his wife and children who followed him while leaning up:

"I haven't seen such a bustle for more than ten years."

Mrs. An paid attention to her image, and was secretly swallowed by the aroma of the meat buns, but she still forcibly endured the food box in her hand.

There were too many people, and An Miao opened one hand and protected his wife and children to him.

The family followed the onlookers, curiously looking at the long strips of red paper hanging on the stall.

On the red paper, the words are written with a black ink pen, and one is: Every day and the source of wealth comes smoothly, and every year the blessing comes with the spring.

In the middle is a short note, which reads: Happy New Year!

There is another one, which reads: Create a great cause for thousands of years and prosper, and show your ambition to be brilliant again.

Horizontal batch, big picture!

"Wow! This couplet is majestic, good! An Mi clapped her hands excitedly, and the remaining half of the meat bun in her hand almost fell to the ground.

This fragrant meat bun is not cheap, An Tranquility is quick-eyed, he grabbed it with the hem of his clothes, stuffed it directly into his mouth, ate it in two bites, wiped his hands on the side of his pants, and was about to step forward to take a closer look at these far-reaching couplets.

Mrs. An witnessed the whole process, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe that the vulgar man in front of her who wiped the edge of his pants was actually her husband, who was personable and both civil and military.

Mrs. An found that since her husband followed Xu Jiajun's engineering team, his behavior became more and more vulgar.

As soon as he got on the kang, he picked his feet with his hands, grabbed the pastries in the dishes directly after finishing his work, and stuffed them into his mouth to eat.

When she first saw her, Mrs. Ann stayed there for five minutes, and then her husband looked at her blankly and asked her what was wrong.

Mrs. An was struck by lightning, and she couldn't accept it for a while, so she went back to the room and cried bitterly for half an hour.

So, compared to eating with his feet, the husband is now just wiping his hands with his pants, which is insignificant, right?

An Xiaogongzi didn't notice the change in his mother, he was small, so he followed his father directly to the front and came to the stall.

Red is such a bright color, it is not often seen, An Xiaogongzi is not interested in the long strip of paper, he took a fancy to the small red lacquered spinning top next to the stall at a glance.

The boss was explaining the intention and usage of the couplet to An Mi and the others, but he didn't notice the children next to him.

The man's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of An Xiaogongzi staring at the top, smiled and picked up the top, rolled up the top with a whip made of colored muslin strips, and then "snapped" and threw it on the ground.

"Woo~", the red top turned, and the colorful threads drawn on the plane of the top turned into a rainbow in the rotation, causing the children to cry out with joy.

"Hit it, hit it!" Seeing that the spinning top was spinning slowly, the children anxiously urged the guys.

The guy shook the whip again in amusement, and the sound of "popping" spread through the street, making this year a little more familiar to Xu Yue.

There were no firecrackers, and the children flicked the spinning tops to make a "crackling" sound, and the streets and alleys became lively, as if they were setting off firecrackers.

When he withdrew from the stall, An Mi had a few more couplets in his arms, and he held them carefully as if he had won a treasure.

An Xiaogongzi held a colorful muslin whip in his hand, and under the unpleasant urging of Mrs. An, he trotted while throwing a spinning top.

It's a pity that the spinning top is not as obedient as it is in the hands of the guys, and it doesn't spin after a few hits.

An Xiaogongzi had no choice but to put away the spinning top first, and hurriedly followed his parents' footsteps amid his mother's threatening words.

Mrs. Ann had already bought the meat and vegetables, and when she heard the year-end reward at the convenience store, she took her husband and son and walked in.

The former officials and ladies had long gathered in the store, arguing about a piece of cloth and arguing about how many meters each family was even.

Seeing Mrs. An coming, he hurriedly beckoned her to be the one who took the lead, so that no one would obey anyone.

"Hello Minister An." The ladies nodded and greeted An's peace.

An Miao nodded awkwardly, and silently led her son who wanted to play with the spinning top and retreated to the door, so as not to be bumped into by the women who were grabbing the goods in the store.

"Daddy, Chief!" An Xiaogongzi, who wanted to hit the spinning top but couldn't find an open space, suddenly pointed to the street and shouted.

Xu Yue, who was followed by Ah Jian, Daniel, and Zhao Adou, and An Yu in the room raised their heads at the same time and smiled at each other.

"Happy New Year, Minister An!" Xu Yue said with a smile.
