"Someone looking for trouble?" Mo Li frowned, and looked at Meng Lianyi with some concern.

Meng Lianyi chuckled and shook his head: "It's okay, I've solved it, don't worry." ”

Mo Li nodded, but still thoughtful.

Meng Lianyi didn't say anything.

When the year was approaching, the Bai family's shop finally cooled down.

However, the preparations for this winter were so hasty, but the income was several times that of previous years, and seeing the data on the ledger, Bai Wanning was almost a little excited and couldn't sleep.

After finally calculating the income, I found that in just one winter, I made about a few thousand taels just by selling winter clothes.

This is still the result of insufficient manpower and rushing to work.

Bai Wanning has already begun to look forward to the next batch of clothes.

After the shop was closed, Meng Lianyi took the three children and Mo Li to the county seat.

I walked around the county town and bought some things for the New Year.

There are all kinds of food, and there are some red pieces of paper to write couplets.

That's right, Meng Lianyi didn't buy the written couplet, she bought red paper.

Mo Xiuran has been studying in the academy for a while, and he has also read his words Meng Lianyi, which is very good, and it is more than enough to write a couplet at home.

So, after returning home, Meng Lianyi spread the red paper on the table and asked Mo Xiuran to write couplets.

Mo Xiuran thought that his words would be posted at the door for everyone to see, and he was still a little nervous for a while.

"Aunt Meng, did you really ask me to write? I...... I haven't practiced my handwriting yet. ”

Meng Lianyi chuckled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's just your own home, it doesn't matter how you write it, and I believe in you, you can definitely write it." ”

After speaking, he made a cheering gesture towards Mo Xiuran.

Mo Jinge and Mo Xuanzhi also looked at Mo Xiuran with blank eyes, because in the two of them, their eldest brother is the most powerful person except for Aunt Meng, isn't it just a matter of writing a couplet?

Mo Xiuran hesitated for a moment, seeing that his family trusted him so much, he suddenly became a little excited, and finally put pen to paper after thinking about it.

The couplet he wrote was an ordinary two sentences to congratulate the New Year, but the words on it were auspicious and noble, but Meng Lianyi laughed on the spot: "Yes, yes, it's really the smartest child in our family, it's so well written, let's go out and post it at the door later, so that everyone in the village can see it." ”

"yes, my brother is the best."

Mo Xuanzhi immediately cheered.

Mo Li on the side quietly looked at the four mothers and sons opposite, and couldn't believe that they were not biological mothers and sons, obviously the three children treated Meng Lianyi much closer than their own father.

Mo Li sighed.

His eyes fell on the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and suddenly some pictures flashed in his mind, and after thinking about it, he picked up the pen and wrote on a cut piece of paper.

The pen is like a dragon, and soon wrote a big blessing word.

Mo Xuanzhi was stunned.

"Can Dad write?"

Meng Lianyi also looked at it with some curiosity, didn't he say that Mo Li was in the army, he actually knew how to write, which made Meng Lianyi a little surprised.

After Mo Li finished writing, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I suddenly remembered, I should have learned some before." ”

Meng Lianyi nodded, everyone has their own secrets, and Meng Lianyi didn't ask anything, but looked down at the blessing word written by Mo Li.

This character is elegantly written, which is very good.

Mo Xiuran was also stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Dad's handwriting is really good, it's almost the same as my husband." ”

Mo Xuanzhi looked at what the two of them wrote, compared it for a long time and then spoke: "I think my brother is still powerful, my brother can write a lot of words, and my father wrote one word." ”

"Poof." Listening to Mo Xuanzhi's children's words, Meng Lianyi couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, he was so cute.

After laughing, he nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Mo Li's shoulder and said, "Did you hear it, your son said that you can't do it, and you have to work hard in the future." ”

Looking at Meng Lianyi's smiling face, Mo Li nodded, and couldn't help but blush slightly.

When the three of them pasted the couplet, they lit some dried bamboo and crackled for a long time, and the year finally began.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Mo Li made a lot of delicious things.

And under Meng Lianyi's strong suggestion, he even made a hot pot.

The hot pot base was taken out of the space by myself, and it has been kept in the kitchen since the packaging was changed, and it is good to eat it this winter.

The charcoal fire in the small stove was burning, and the pot was gurgling.

Two adults and one child stared at the contents of the pot without blinking.

"Aunt Meng, isn't it ripe yet?" Mo Xuanzhi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Meng Lianyi shook his head: "Six, seven, eight!" It's ready to eat, just put it in the pot and count eight times to cook. ”

After saying that, he took out the thinly sliced meat slices from it and put it in his mouth.

Sure enough, it was already ripe and secret, but the taste did not get old, and with the aroma of chili peppers, it was really tempting.

The five of them ate until late at night.

According to the law, today is the time to keep the New Year.

However, Meng Lianyi doesn't care about so many rules.

And the three children are still young now, and staying up late is a bit of a burden for them, so Meng Lianyi still let them go to sleep after eating.

And Mo Li began to clean up the mess.

Meng Lianyi was idle, so he was on the side to help.

When the two of them were cleaned up, they couldn't help but laugh when they looked at each other.

"Happy New Year." Meng Lianyi was the first to speak.

Mo Li was stunned for a moment, and also laughed: "You too, Happy New Year." ”

"The kids are asleep, aren't they?" Meng Lianyi asked.

Mo Li nodded: "I went in and saw it just now, and I was already asleep." ”

After that, he looked at Meng Lianyi with some doubts, as if he wanted to ask Meng Lianyi if there was something wrong.

Meng Lianyi didn't speak, but skillfully took out a few red envelopes from his cuffs: "Prepare some New Year's money for the children, you wait to press under Mo Xiuran's pillow before going to bed." ”

"Ah, okay." Mo Li took it in a daze, and blushed a little after reacting.

Meng Lianyi has prepared New Year's money, but his father has forgotten it.

A little embarrassed for a while.

Meng Lianyi took out another red envelope and handed it to Mo Li: "Still, it's yours." ”

"Mine?" Mo Li took it in a daze, his expression was a little dazed, "Do I also have New Year's money?" ”

Aren't all the New Year's money given to children by elders? Why did Meng Lianyi give himself a copy?

Mo Li looked dazed, and Meng Lianyi, who was watching it, burst out laughing.

"It's just a blessing, just take it, don't worry about so many rules."
