Chapter 509, First Day of the Lunar New Year

Seeing this, Aunt Ji ignored him. At most, she would just not let Xiaopeng drink too much. It was just a token of her appreciation.

She loves Xiaoyue, so she loves her niece-in-law too.

Xiaopeng saw the bowl on the table and glanced at Ji's father. After seeing Ji's father nod, Xiaopeng picked it up directly.

"Thank you, uncle." Seeing that the wine was filled, Xiaopeng picked it up and drank without saying a word.

Seeing his attitude, Elder Chongjin became unhappy and said, "Boss Ji, don't go too far." The person's parents have handed him over to him, so he can't let him suffer any loss.

"Haha, there's no distinction between senior and junior today, Uncle Zhong, you are not right in this matter." Well, he's not called a gangster for nothing.

When Xiao Cheng saw his brother was drunk, he was very anxious, but no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't drink for him.

People here say that this is the wine for marrying a wife, and only the man who marries a wife can drink it.

"Second brother, are you okay?" Seeing that the second brother paused, Xiao Cheng immediately stepped forward to support him and asked.

Xiaopeng was drunk. He glanced at his brother and shook his head, "It's okay." He was very dizzy, but conscious.

"Brother, how about I drink some for you?" Xiao Cheng asked with concern.

"No need. Stand behind me and help me get rid of the alcohol." He couldn't bear it anymore.

When Xiao Cheng heard his second brother say this, he immediately started to practice his internal energy, pretending to support him, but in fact he was helping him to use his internal energy to expel the smell of alcohol.

As soon as the internal energy moved here, Chongjin discovered it immediately.

The man with profound internal strength was not much worse than him, which surprised him, but he also knew that now was not the time to talk about these things. The village chief said that he would tell them something in a few days.

Chongjin is a smart man, I'm afraid he is related to the He family.

As soon as Xiao Cheng came out, Chong Jin went up to help without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xiao Cheng expressed his gratitude to the heavy money.

Uncle drank all the wine without dropping a drop.

"Uncle, I've finished drinking." After the alcohol in his body was somewhat dissipated, Xiaopeng's eyes became clear.

The way he spoke was also different from before.

When Chongshui and the others saw their boss's actions, they touched their noses and did not dare to warn him out loud.

Uncle Ji was not the kind of person who lacked tact. After seeing Xiaopeng drink up the drink, he took out a piece of red cloth without saying a word.

"Here, my uncle's family is not as well off as yours. It's a token of my thoughtfulness, so please accept it." Their family is mainly engaged in farming, so it is self-evident what is in the red cloth.

The villagers are not surprised by this. They don't give money as gifts, but only things they have kept at home.

"Thank you, uncle." Xiaopeng has a pair of 'dog noses'. As soon as the red cloth came out, he smelled the scent and knew what was inside.

This thank you is very sincere.

It was easy for Aunt Ji. She picked up the smallest bowl on the table, poured about two-thirds of the liquid into it, and then stopped.

"Xiaopeng, this is your aunt." Father Ji introduced.

Xiaopeng walked to Aunt Ji and called out, "Aunt."

"Good boy, come here, this is a gift from your aunt, please accept it." Giving the gift first and then drinking means that they are very satisfied.

Her behavior made everyone laugh: "We haven't even drunk the wine yet, why are you giving me gifts, Aunt Ji, you are too easily satisfied."

"That's right, that's right, your Ji family only has this one girl."

···

Those who stir up trouble never mind making trouble.

Although Aunt Ji looks quite decent now as she sits there, she is well-known in the village for her explosive temper, otherwise how could she suppress Boss Ji?

"Why, my Xiaoyue's husband is so handsome, why are you not satisfied? I think it's okay not to drink this wine, because our family is very happy."

"I see you are envious, but it's a pity that you can't envy them."

Well, this aunt-in-law is on the same level as my wife, not bad.

Xiao Cheng and Xiao Peng both like this aunt-in-law very much.

"Thank you, aunt." Xiaopeng answered the call very quickly and drank up all the wine on the table.

"I like my uncle and aunt, too." she said sweetly.

Well, they are really envious of such a good son-in-law.

The booing stopped and everyone started laughing.

The villagers are all very good people and don't have any malicious intent. They just say some nice things and make some jokes, and then everything is fine.

Ji's father introduced Xiaopeng to the second son of the Ji family.

"This is your Uncle Ji."

"Uncle Ji." Xiaopeng called and then drank up the wine that Uncle Ji poured on the table.

After receiving the gift, it started raining again.

Ji Er's mother-in-law was a gentle woman. She spoke very little and always looked at Xiaopeng with a kind smile on her face.

"You are still young, drink less." said Guan Xin.

After receiving gifts from the four elders, Xiaopeng had to give gifts.

These things were ready yesterday.

He spent a lot of money to withdraw his inner strength and simply waved his hand to have someone bring up the gift.

The table was filled with various gifts.

Here, this custom is called Xuanli.

Just like the bride’s family showing off their dowry nowadays.

The villagers looked at the things on the table, their mouths wide open and they were speechless.

It’s okay for things that I’ve never seen before, but those hundred-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal herbs are not something that ordinary people can get.

Even their village may not have so many good things.

But their village has been around for many years.

"Haha, okay, okay, okay, Ji family, please accept it and let's start the feast." Chongshui walked out at this time.

···

The engagement party was held on New Year’s Eve.

That night, Xiaopeng slept at the woman's house.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, it started snowing heavily. Everyone was in the square in the center of the village, singing and dancing happily.

Even Mei Xue and He Anze drank a lot of wine.

This New Year was very happy. The only unhappy thing was the absence of Xiaoyu.

However, there was no signal in the village, and they couldn't contact Xiaoyu.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Mei Xue and He Anze left the village early after breakfast. They wanted to call Xiaoyu, wondering if he missed home while abroad.

Originally, the old lady wanted to follow, but it was really hard to walk fast with her, so he could only bring the message to Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu has been waiting for a call from his parents. He knows that Xiaopeng is engaged, but he can't come back for the time being, which makes him feel very sorry.

He was very sad that he was not there for his brother's engagement.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to get through to his parents on the phone these days, but he would still call them once an hour.

Hua noticed that something was wrong with him early on. After asking him, she found out that he was homesick. She didn't know how to comfort him.

I could only go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and make dumplings for him to eat, to ease my homesickness.

She did contact her parents, and when they learned that she would not be going home for the New Year, they were very unhappy.

She originally wanted to go back, but...

After buying vegetables, she came back. Today was the first day of the first lunar month, and their custom was to eat dumplings, so she bought some flour.
