"No, I have a feeling of unreality."

"Have you seen it? There's a lot of stuff in this lucky bag. ”

"Look, it's all good."

"I've never seen such a beautiful couplet."

"And this beef meatball, I haven't eaten beef when I'm so big~"

"These things add up to a lot of silver, but the Song family said that they would send it, and they didn't blink their eyes."

"The Song family is really a very good leader, a master family like them, even if it is sold to them, I am willing to sell it to the current people."

"You want to be beautiful~ People still don't look down on you because you're stupid."

"I have to say that the Song family is really too careful, and the lucky bag is full of items that can be used for the New Year."

"I heard from the Song family that they were all materials brought by Miss Xia, and some of them were still overseas, and I was reluctant to use them."

"Such a beautiful object is pasted on the doors and windows, what a pity if it is old and broken."

"yes, I'm going to collect it, such a beautiful object is pasted on the door and window, isn't that a waste of good things."

Fortunately, Xia Ning didn't hear everyone's discussion at this moment, if she knew that the villagers had treasured the couplets she prepared, she would probably be speechless and crying and laughing, right?

The reason why we prepare couplets for everyone is to let every household stick them on the door, and the purpose of the couplet itself is not to paste it on the door frame to add joy and New Year's wishes to the home?

If everyone collects it, what is the point of the couplet? If the door of every house is bare, wouldn't that send a lonely?

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon (half past eleven in the morning) that the villagers finally returned home one after another, and the lively scene in front of the Song family's compound gradually returned to peace.

"It's finally done."

"Let's eat, I'm hungry after a busy morning."

"Well, after eating, everyone will rest for a while, and it's time to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

The Song family entered the dining room and sat down directly, although their faces were a little tired, but everyone's spirit was very good, after all, the New Year, people were in good spirits on happy occasions.

A festive day should be full of joy, so that good fortune can come.

Fortunately, the Song family's meals don't have to be done by the female relatives themselves, otherwise they would have to cook after a busy morning, so they really can't stand it.

Even if their health is better than those wives and ladies of the Beijing family, they are still not as good as the women in the village who are used to doing farm work all year round.

Mrs. Ding saw that the masters were all seated, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to remind them, and then took her granddaughter and Qiaoxin to serve the dishes to the table.

Today, the kitchen of the Song family is still in charge of the Xu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because their cooking skills are really good, and the Song family is very satisfied with their meals, and they don't want to change to others.

However, the Song family did not let them sign the deed of sale, after all, Cao Tianrong was running errands for the Song family, and he was not a subordinate in the real sense, so the Song family signed an employment contract for their family according to Xia Ning's proposal, and paid wages according to salary every month.

Therefore, the work mode of Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is similar to that of office workers in later generations, commuting to and from work at fixed points.

It's like a supper or something, and Mrs. Ding is responsible for it.

In addition, the Song family is not the kind of person who can't take care of themselves, and they can complete their daily life by themselves, and they don't need to have someone to serve them all the time.

After lunch, everyone in the Song family took a break and began to work on their own duties, after all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the most important day of the New Year, everyone will naturally not be lazy.

After the Xu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared the basic ingredients, the Song family's daughters asked them to go home to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the rest of the steps were made by themselves.

"Aunt Xu, this is a New Year's gift for you. I wish you peace and joy as a family. ”

Xu Wanqing handed the other party a lucky bag, but the things contained in it were slightly different from the New Year lucky bag, such as couplets and other items were gone, after all, Cao Tianrong had received it before, and it was useless to send too much.

This is the New Year's benefit specially prepared by the Song family for the helpers at home, and it is filled with some food and dry goods.

"Thank you, lady, and I wish you a safe and healthy family."

Da Xu took the lucky bag very gratefully, if it was before, she would not dare to accept it, and she would feel very frightened, but now that she has been with the Song family for several months, she has already understood their character, so she has not been polite anymore.

Then, Song's mother took out a red envelope, "You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have worked hard during this time, you have to accept it, this is a little bit of our family's heart." ”

"This" Da Xu was a little at a loss in an instant, she could still accept the New Year's gift or something cheekily, then she was embarrassed to accept the Song family's silver money.

Song Mu directly stuffed it into the other party's hand, "Take it, everyone has a share, it's not early, you guys hurry home to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”

In this way, the Xu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no choice but to accept the Song family's wishes and return home happily.

"Alright, let's do it."

Therefore, the female relatives of the Song family began to stir up the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, of course, the master in charge must be Xia Ning, mainly because the cooking skills of the other people are really a little bad ingredients.

A few female relatives gave Xia Ning a hand, and everyone chatted while doing things, but they cooperated very tacitly, and from time to time there were women's laughter.

All of a sudden, the Song family's kitchen became the most lively place.

The men were not idle, they were studying the use of coal in the hall, and Song Shaoqin had read many books before, and finally found a lot of information about coal.

But this is not the 21st century after all, and they have to combine the actual situation of Baiyun Village to give full play to the value of coal as much as possible.

After pondering a few days ago, Song Shaoqin has mastered a lot, and he is explaining and discussing with his father, uncles and brothers.

It would be a waste to put such a good resource and not use it.

In the corner of the living room, a few children are playing in the play area, which will be busy with the adults, and they will have to find their own fun.

**

At six o'clock in the afternoon (half past four in the afternoon), the chimneys of every house in the village are bubbling with puffs of smoke, and everyone is in full swing to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

The female dependents prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the stove house, the men bring the children of the family to paste couplets, glue blessing characters, hang red lanterns, and peanuts and candies are placed on the wooden table at home.

From time to time, you can still hear the sound of children laughing and playing, and the whole village is filled with New Year's weather.

At half past five in the afternoon, a burst of firecrackers suddenly sounded in the village.

"Chinese New Year~!"

"Chinese New Year's Eve is here, eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner~"

Good night~
