Chapter 227 Greenhouse

I'm happy today because Chinese New Year is coming soon. Carpenter Zhang has stopped working and given all the carpenters and apprentices a holiday. Everyone is indulging themselves and eating and drinking.

The adults were drinking and chatting, while the younger ones were drinking soup and enjoying the food.

Qin Huiyin pulled the corner of Tang Yichen's clothes from under the table: "Brother, I can't pick up the chicken leg."

Before Tang Yichen moved, Tang Dafu put a large chicken drumstick into Qin Huiyin's bowl, with a loving face: "You are too thin, eat more."

Qin Huiyin's mouth twitched, and she said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Tang."

Li Taohua kicked Tang Dafu and said unhappily, "You have such good eyesight, but didn't you see that I have no wine?"

Tang Dafu hurriedly served Li Taohua attentively.

Qin Huiyin muttered: "I want to eat the chicken leg that my brother picked up."

Tang Yichen stopped picking up the vegetables.

He moved his hand, picked up a big chicken leg and put it into Tang Luwu's bowl.

Tang Luwu blinked her eyes and said, "Thank you, brother."

Tang Yichen hummed, picked up another chicken leg and put it into Qin Huiyin's bowl.

Qin Huiyin leaned over and said sweetly, "Thank you, brother."

Tang Yichen glanced at her and said, "Eat."

Qin Huiyin also picked one for Tang Yichen: "You eat too, you've lost weight."

Li Taohua watched the interaction between these children and a smile flashed in her eyes.

If her daughter wants to coax someone, no matter whether they are male or female, young or old, she will be soft-hearted.

"Brother, try this wine lees glutinous rice balls. On such a good day of reunion, of course we should eat glutinous rice balls that represent reunion." Qin Huiyin served Tang Yichen half a bowl of small glutinous rice balls.

Zhou Mingrong said enviously: "Brother Tang is so lucky to have two lovely sisters."

Zhang Dazhu said, "Don't say you're envious, I'm envious too. My sister is well-behaved and cute, and she's much easier to manage than a bad boy."

Zhang Erzhu said unconvincedly, "Brother, I don't like what you said. When have I never listened to you since I was a child?"

"What's the point of you being obedient? Are you as cute as your sister?"

"It's impossible for you to have a sister at your age, but you can consider your lifelong event." Pang said, "Recently, many people have come to propose marriage to you. Erzhu is already married, so now we are only considering your marriage."

"Cousin Mingrong is not married yet, so you should take care of him first, aunt." Zhang Dazhu was overwhelmed when he heard the marriage was mentioned again, and he quickly shifted the blame to someone else.

"How can it be his turn if you, the eldest brother, don't get married?"

The elders began to urge marriage, and mentioned the candidates for unmarried girls mentioned by the matchmaker during this period.

Zhou Ming was gloating over the misfortune: "Do you regret it?"

"Don't get too proud, kid. It will be your turn soon."

The elders should drink slowly, and the younger ones should leave the table when they are full.

Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu went back to the next room to clean up first. They added new quilts to each bed and placed a brazier in the room so that they would not be cold when sleeping at night.

"Don't close the windows, make sure ventilation is maintained." Qin Huiyin reminded Tang Yixiao and Tang Luwu.

"I just passed by my eldest brother's room and saw him reading again. He is really hardworking. He just came back and didn't even take a break. He is still working so hard."

"It's New Year's Day off, and we still have plenty of time to take him to rest. Don't worry, we won't disturb him today."

Tang Yichen looked at the book in front of him, but his eyes were blank and he didn't read anything.

My younger sister is so close to Song Ruize. Is it because they spend more time together?

It would be fine under normal circumstances, but during this period of time he is on vacation and is at home every day. I absolutely cannot let him snatch my little sister away.

Qin Huiyin walked into the room carrying pastries.

"Brother, I made some red date cake. Put it here first. Eat some if you are hungry later."

Tang Yichen hummed.

Qin Huiyin put the red date cake aside, rushed to Tang Yichen from behind, and hugged his neck: "Brother, don't be angry."

Tang Yichen was suddenly attacked by her and choked by her saliva.

“Ahem…”

"Are you okay? Did it strangle you?"

"No, I just got choked." Tang Yichen's earlobes turned red. "Stand still, don't pull or tug, there are differences between men and women."

Qin Huiyin stood up straight obediently.

"Then you're not angry anymore?"

"I'm not angry." Just a little disappointed.

"In my eyes, you are all brothers and are all very important. I paid more attention to Brother Ruize because he was really lonely. He is not a person who likes to express himself. If no one takes the initiative to approach him, he will not take the initiative to approach others. Although he has friends around him now, he still doesn't care about his relatives."

"I have no objection to you caring about him, but..." He hopes that he is the eldest brother she respects the most.

Song Ruize had to line up behind him.

No, you have to line up behind Luwu and my younger brother.

"I knew my eldest brother was an open-minded gentleman and would definitely not argue with my sister who can't talk."

"You can't speak? I think the birds in the sky are about to be coaxed down by you." Tang Yichen pinched her cheek.

"Brother, you must be tired. Let me massage your shoulders." Qin Huiyin massaged Tang Yichen's shoulders.

Tang Yichen closed the book, leaned back in his chair, and let her massage his shoulders.

Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao leaned against the window, watching the two people talking and laughing, and smiled at each other.

"I told you, how could Big Brother be angry with Second Sister? Second Sister is the best at coaxing people. Once she coaxes Big Brother, even if he is really angry, he won't be angry anymore."

"Just now I saw that my eldest brother was in a bad mood, and I was really worried that they would lose their temper. If they lose their temper, our family will not have a good New Year." Tang Luwu said.

"My eldest brother is not an unreasonable person, and my second sister is not a willful person. If there is any unpleasantness between the two of them, it must not be a big deal and will be over soon."

"That's true." Tang Luwu patted her chest. "Just now, seeing them like that, I couldn't eat. Now that they're fine, I'm a little hungry."

"You're greedy after seeing the red date cakes made by your second sister, right?" Tang Yi said with a smile, "But I'm greedy too. Let's go to the kitchen and see if there's anything left."

On the second day, the Tang family invited four or five friendly families to come over for the housewarming.

When Song Ruize appeared, Tang Dafu was a little surprised, but thinking that Qin Huiyin was on good terms with him, he quickly greeted him warmly.

Tang Luwu shouted inside: "Yinyin, the eldest brother of the Song family is here."

Qin Huiyin came out carrying a chicken and said to Song Ruize, "Brother, come and help kill the chicken."

Song Ruize looked at her messy head of feathers, a smile flashing in his eyes.

He held up the chicken and asked, "Where's the knife?"

"I'll get it." Qin Huiyin said, smiling at Tang Yi beside her, "Is the brazier ready? We'll need to burn off the fine hair later."

"alright."

"Oh, there are clean bowls. Chicken blood is also a good thing. Save it for later."
