The benefits of Lin Xi's choice to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner under the shed were revealed, and they could see the fireworks set off by the villagers outside.

The children stood up in surprise and ran out into the yard, happily looking up at the night sky.

"Dad, mother, this year's fireworks are so beautiful!"

"Yes, yes, I don't know why, it's even better than last year!"

Sanbao couldn't help but ask Erbao: "Do you remember what the fireworks looked like last year?" ”

"Why don't you remember?"

Erbao glared at him and said proudly: "Anyway, it's not as good as this year's!" ”

Sibao was surrounded by his brothers, and he felt that he couldn't see clearly. She pulled the corner of Dabao's clothes and stretched out her hand to Dabao: "Hug!" The four treasures should be seen at a higher point~~"

Dabao bent down and picked up the four treasures in a good-natured manner.

Sibao's big eyes were shining, and he clapped his hands happily: "Fireworks, it's beautiful!" ”

Not long after, the sound of firecrackers also sounded outside.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Okay, come over and eat." Me and you. Daddy also bought it, and when you finish eating, let Daddy take you out and put it away. ”

When the four treasures heard this, they ran back excitedly and looked at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Xi and said, "Listen to your mother." ”

The children were immediately happy, and they sat down around and scrambled to eat the vegetables, all of which had to be eaten early.

Seeing this, Lin Xi gave them vegetables.

"Eat slowly, be careful of choking."

"This spicy chicken is made from your own chickens, how about it taste."

"Erbao, there are sweet and sour chops in front of you, you can't eat spicy and eat less, be careful to turn around and have a stomachache."

"Sam Baolai, eat some dumplings."

Shen Chen, who was on the side, looked at the lively scene in front of him and was a little stunned.

Until Lin Xi sandwiched a piece of boiled meat for him, and said, "What are you doing in a daze, eat it quickly." When the children finish eating, if you haven't finished eating, be careful that the children mess with you and see how you can eat. They're not afraid of you now. ”

Shen Chen's heart was soft-hearted, and he also sandwiched a chopstick dish for Lin Xi, and held her hand under the table with the other hand.

He whispered, "Thank you." "Thank you for coming, and thank you for changing this home.

Lin Xi's hand shook and he almost didn't hold his chopsticks steady.

Facing the children's sinister and gossipy eyes, she looked at Shen Chen with disgust and said, "In front of the children, eat your food well." ”

If she shows the children a joke again, she will lose her face.

Shen Chen chuckled, "Yes." ”

……

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Xi did not take the family to keep vigil.

The children were almost crazy, and they climbed the mountain during the day, so they were sleepy when they were far from their children, so Lin Xi let them wash up and fall asleep.

Lin Xi was also tired for a day, so he slept with him.

In the end, only Shen Chen was alone in the courtyard and kept a serious vigil.

Lin Xi heard Shen Chen set off firecrackers like everyone else in the village when he was in his sleep, and then Shen Chen stopped.

The next day, before Lin Xi woke up, he was woken up by the excited children.

"Mother! Hurry up and see! ”

"It's snowing! It's so beautiful outside! ”

Lin Xi woke up in a daze, the room was dimly lit, and the windows were blocked by thick snow, but the room was not too cold.

Lin Xi sobered up, sat up, and saw that there was an extra brazier at the head of the bed, which was still burning.

She guessed that this should have been put in by Shen Chen.

Lin Xi got dressed and went out, and sure enough, he saw a white expanse in his sight outside, but fortunately, the snow had stopped.

Shen Chen was clearing the snow in the yard, and the four children were having a noisy snowball fight on the side.

Seeing that Lin Xi was still woken up, Shen Chen glanced at the four children.

The children shrunk their necks and ran over to pull Lin Xi to play with them.

Lin Xi had never seen such a big snow, so he cleaned up with Shen Chen and played with the children. In the end, it became Shen Chen who swept alone, and Lin Xi's fun-loving nature was brought out, and he went outside with the children to build a snowman.

Shen Chen shook his head helplessly, followed outside, and swept out a path in front of the door.

It didn't take long for Lin Xi to hear someone calling them, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the village chief and Aunt Zhang's family who had come to pay New Year's greetings.

Lin Xi greeted with a smile, and then took the children back to change their clothes, their trouser legs were wet.

When they came out again, Shen Chen had already sent the village chief away.

Lin Xi went to the stove room to prepare breakfast, cooked the dumplings that had not been put in the pot last night, and made another pot of chicken noodles.

After breakfast, Lin Xi remembered the agreement with Ding Yue and said, "Shen Chen, I have to go to Erdao Village." ”

"What are you going to do over there?"

"The last time I went to worship my father, didn't I meet someone? I made an appointment with her to go and get what I had left with her today. It sounds very important, and she can't let her family know, so she can only go here. ”

Shen Chen said: "I'll accompany you." ”

Lin Xi said: "No, I'll be back soon." You and the kids are waiting for me at home, or you go out to play. ”

Shen Chen advised: "Wear more, it's cold on the road." ”

Lin Xi nodded and took some things as gifts.

Erdao Village is not far away, Lin Xi arrived early, and happened to meet people from Erdao Village going out.

Lin Xi found a place to stop the carriage and led his things to Ding Yue's house.

According to Ding Yue, her husband's surname is Ma. In the entire Erdao Village, the family surname is Ma, and Lin Xi will not go wrong.

It's just that when Lin Xi arrived at Ding Yuefu's house, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Damn, isn't this old Ma's family the one who occupies the original owner's property!

Lin Xi was in a complicated mood, so he went around to the back and went to the pear tree that Ding Yue said.

Unexpectedly, Ding Yue was already waiting there.

Seeing Lin Xi, she was surprised and delighted: "Lin Xi, you are really here." I'm afraid that your family will be busy today, and your husband won't let you go out. ”

Lin Xi politely said a few words and looked back at the Ma family.

Seeing this, Ding Yue pinched the corner of his clothes in embarrassment: "Lin Xi, I'm sorry." ”

"How?"

"I'm a father-in-law...... I wanted to help you at the time because I occupied your property, but ...... I don't have much to say in this house, and I can't go out and see you. ”

Lin Xi's mood was more delicate.

Ding Yue is the daughter-in-law of the Ma family, and the Ma family occupies the original owner's real estate.

Then why did the original owner still let Ding Yue hold the jade pendant? Is it because of the love between the two who went into exile together when they were young?

"It's okay, where's my jade pendant?"

Ding Yue hurriedly took it out of his arms and gave it to her.

Lin Xi put down his things, took them and took a look, his face changed slightly.

This is actually a good piece of white jade, or warm jade, and it is very valuable at a glance.

And the pattern on this jade surface ...... What kind of bird is there, it's clearly a phoenix!

Ding Yue noticed her face and asked in a panic, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with this jade pendant? Lin Xi, I have always kept it well, and I have never broken it. ”

"I know. It is...... I haven't seen it for too long, and I miss it a little. Lin Xi soothed, pointing to the things he brought, "This is for you, thank you for helping me keep it." ”
