Shenshu Village.

Old Bai's Chinese New Year's Eve this year was a little more deserted than usual.

There is no other reason, or because of the unevenness of the people, and four of the five sons are outside.

The eldest and second and fifth are the most suspenseful to the Bai family, and they don't know what the situation of the border war is like.

In the twenty-ninth year, Bai Sanzhuang went to the Liu family and Jade Pavilion in Huaicheng to inquire about the situation at the border, although the specific news has not yet come, but judging from the existing situation, it is not very optimistic.

The Bai family ushered in the Chinese New Year's Eve in worry.

After worshipping their ancestors, the Bai family sat by the stove in the house to keep warm.

"Grandma, father, mother, don't worry, the eldest brother, the second brother and the fifth brother will be safe." The brothers were not at home, and Bai Sanzhuang consciously became the "big parent", constantly comforting his grandmother and parents.

"Yes, yes, the third brother is right, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fifth brother must be fine." Xiao Fuyuan solemnly agreed.

Not only are the three elder brothers fine, but so are the other people in Shenshu Village who are on the border.

"I heard that the fourth brother is also going well in the capital." mentioned Bai Panmei, who went to the capital to catch the exam, Bai Sanzhuang told the news he got in Huaicheng to his family.

The Marquis of Zhongjing's Mansion sent someone to give gifts to the Zhou family a few years ago, and brought Bai Panmei's family letter.

At this time, the family letter was in Xiao Fuyuan's hand.

Xiao Fuyuan's reading of his brothers' family letters is also an unwritten tradition of the Bai family.

"Hurry up, what did your fourth brother say?"

The whole family gathered around Xiao Fuyuan and looked at the family letter in Xiao Fuyuan's hand expectantly.

"Grandmother, my parents are above, and I am already in the capital...... Everything is fine, everything is going well. Xiao Fuyuan read the fourth brother's family letter seriously.

Bai Panmei's letter reported safety, talked about the scenery of the capital, and expressed her determination to the spring examination and the palace examination.

"Don't report good news or bad news." Old Lady Bai said with a sigh.

The fourth child really didn't tell his family about offending Fan's house.

"The fourth brother will also go smoothly." Xiao Fuyuan said.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about the fourth, Xiao Yuanbao is right, the fourth will definitely go smoothly." Zhen answered and comforted her mother-in-law, "However, I'm worried about the fourth child's family?" ”

She is not worried about the fourth child who went to Beijing to catch the exam now, after all, her aunt is secretly taking care of her.

She was worried that the fourth child's spring palace exam would end, and she would really win the champion as her daughter said, and she would be forced to stand in line by some high-ranking people.

After all, her family is in her prime, her appearance is outstanding, and she is the champion, so she must belong to the popular fried chicken and political potential stocks in the marriage market.

In case the fourth child is taken by the opponent of the Marquis of Zhongjing's Mansion or which traitorous minister, how can he get out?

"Family? If the fourth child of our family is admitted to the top prize, what is there to worry about? "Bai Muban didn't quite understand the old wife's thoughts.

Since the fourth child was admitted to the promotion, he almost broke the threshold of the Bai family when he said goodbye to the fourth child, but he was rejected by the Bai family. The fourth child of his family is a talent of the unicorn, so he must match the girl in the capital.

Bai Muban was not worried about his fourth child's family affairs at all.

Zhen glanced at the white plank, it was normal for his own man to not understand the twists and turns of the capital.

"You mallet don't understand what your daughter-in-law is worried about. If the fourth child is admitted to the top prize, he will definitely enter the eyes of some high-ranking families, so can it be our family's turn to call the shots? "The old lady Bai mentioned the white plank.

Xie Chuntao and You Jingui sat on the side, not quite understanding this.

Wouldn't it be a good thing if the fourth brother was favored by a wealthy family?

Although the Bai family has a little money now, it is a farmer after all.

It is not easy for the children of the poor family to get ahead, the fourth brother is so talented, in case it is a pity that the development is limited because of the family, it is not good if you rely on the big family to get to the top.

Of course, Xie Chuntao didn't dare to say this directly, since her mother-in-law was worried, there must be something she didn't see through.

You Jingui couldn't sit still, and said directly: "Wouldn't it be good for the fourth brother to really be selected as a son-in-law by a wealthy family?" I've heard people say that the champion must be matched with a princess, grandma, maybe the fourth brother can bring you a princess granddaughter-in-law. ”

Eugene Gui's words were a bit flattering to Old Lady Bai.

Unexpectedly, the old lady Bai snorted coldly.

Her granddaughter-in-law is still too shallow.

What's so good about being a colt, she has to bend down to salute the princess as an old woman?

"What do you know, Qi Dafei is not a coincidence, can the princess be such a good match?" Old Lady Bai said, "Don't talk about the princess. It wouldn't be good if he was caught by someone who didn't get along well and became a son-in-law. Not to mention anything else, such as the Fan family, I heard that there is an unmarried girl in his family. ”

Old Lady Bai glanced at Tian Maimiao as she spoke.

"Only a blessed daughter can enter the blessed door, I don't think my cheap father will definitely arrest the fourth brother." Tian Maimiao said.

Xiao Fuyuan looked at the worried mother and grandmother, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the fourth brother's family affairs, the fourth brother will definitely be able to find me a beautiful, gentle and generous sister-in-law, and this sister-in-law is very filial to grandma and father." ”

I don't know why, Xiao Fuyuan believes that the fourth brother's good marriage is in the capital, and the fourth brother has already met it in the dark.

She can't wait to meet her future fourth sister-in-law.

"The girl said that the fourth child can find a good family, and the fourth child of our family can find it." As Xiao Fuyuan's number one fan, Bai Mubana must agree with his daughter's statement.

"I just hope that your fourth brother can find a confidant." Zhen touched Xiao Fuyuan's head and said with a smile, "The most important thing is to have a temper with your fourth brother, and to be good to your sister-in-law." ”

Xiao Fuyuan smiled and said, "Mother, I'm so cute, it's impossible for the fourth sister-in-law not to like me, you see that even the second sister-in-law likes me." ”

The corners of Zhen's mouth twitched.

Eugene Gui: "......"

“…… The news has already been released, right? Zhen asked.

"It's released, and our house won't entertain guests throughout the New Year." Tian Maimiao answered.

Xiao Fuyuan was named the head of the township, and in the past two years, people from the entire Huaicheng have rushed to the Bai family to pay New Year's greetings to Xiao Fuyuan, as well as to ask Xiao Fuyuan for a few auspicious words.

From the first to the fifteenth day of the new year, the road in Shenshu Village can be blocked.

This year, due to the uncertainty of the life and death of the three sons of the Bai family at the border, the Bai family did not have the leisure to welcome the send-off, so Xiao Fuyuan released the news early in the name of the Furong Township Lord and did not accept anyone's New Year's greetings.

However, although we do not accept everyone's New Year's greetings, the blessings that Xiao Fuyuan should have are still to be sent.

Especially the villagers of Shenshu Village, Xiao Fuyuan solemnly wished the Erlang girls of Shenshu Village on the border safe and smooth on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

At dusk on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, snowflakes fell again in Shenshu Village.

"Grandma, the meals are ready, do you want to set them now?"

As soon as Xie Chuntao came out of confinement, he carried the housekeeper banner non-stop, and walked into the upper room quickly to ask for the idea of the old lady Bai as soon as it was dark.

"Your father and your third brother will put it after the artillery battle." Old Lady Bai said.

Bai Muban and Bai Sanzhuang took Xiao Fuyuan and Da Lang and a few children to set off firecrackers.

Soon there was a crackling sound in the yard.

"Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and usher in a better year." Xiao Fuyuan dodged his father's hand covering his ears and stood by the fireworks and said.

"Yes, yes, my daughter is right, there will be a better year." The white plank echoed.

Since Xiao Fuyuan was named the township master, on Chinese New Year's Eve in the past two years, the people in the village waited for the Bai family to release the artillery battle before they followed, just to rub off the luck of Xiao Fuyuan.

This year is no exception, and the whole village listens to the movements of the Bai family.

As soon as the Bai family's artillery battle was over, other families in the village began to light the artillery battle one after another.

One, two, countless sounds

Welcome the New Year with a crackling sound, and dispel all demons with a crackling sound.
