Chapter 274 New Year's Gift.

On the night of New Year's Eve, every household kept lights on and Wangjia Village was completely silent.

This kind of atmosphere didn't seem suitable for fighting, so Jiang Lianzhu gave up the idea of beating him and got up to go to the kitchen to heat up some food for him.

I picked out his favorite foods and made half a braised pork elbow, a bowl of steaming dumplings, a bowl of chicken soup with wild mushrooms, and a small dish of pickled radish peels as an appetizer.

When it was brought to the main room, Liao Jiu had already finished eating the roasted sweet potatoes and was cleaning the peels.

Seeing the food Jiang Lianzhu brought, his eyes lit up, "Thank you, Doctor Jiang."

He took it, put it on the table and started eating without hesitation.

This is what it feels like to eat happily.

The taste of longing.

It's only been over a month since I last had it, but it feels like years have passed.

Jiang Lianzhu snorted coldly, "You're not afraid that I'll poison you... You're so stupid coming all this way."

Liao Jiu laughed, "Poison doesn't cost money? What good will it do you if you poison me to death? Besides, if you wanted to poison me, you would have done it long ago. There's no need to wait until today."

Jiang Lianzhu glared at him, "Governor Liao, you're wrong. I didn't know your identity before, but now I know. If someone gives me money and bribes me to kill you, it's very possible. Don't be careless."

"Then I deserve this bad luck! By the way, Governor Liao, why not be so polite? Just call me by my name. From today on, let's get to know each other again. Jiang Lianzhu, my name is Liao Jiu, and my courtesy name is Wuyang. You can also call me Liao Wuyang."

Jiang Lianzhu glared at him, "Governor Liao, we're not that close yet. Don't overthink it. Just eat your meal. I'm going to go see what's wrong with Chengfeng, the vulture..."

Feed it some food by the way.

He's been flying for half the night and he has to fly for half the night again. He must be exhausted.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw Chengfeng and Jifeng huddled together, communicating affectionately in bird language.

Chengfeng flapped his wings happily when he saw Jiang Lianzhu coming.

In the darkness, from a distance, Jiang Lianzhu could see the two of them and accurately distinguish which was Chengfeng and which was Jifeng. This was because Chengfeng had two large, bright night-shining pearls hanging around his neck!

"Wow!! It's really a night pearl!" She had never seen anything so bright.

She had seen night pearls in the museum before, but they were not very bright. Night pearls are divided into different types and grades. One that is so bright must be priceless.

They are indeed a wealthy family.

Even the bird has a priceless pearl hanging around its neck.

Ji Feng sent a message to Jiang Lianzhu, who said, "You don't need to complain. I know where it came from. It and its owner are both sick. I'm telling you, Ji Feng, don't let them infect you in the future."

Chengfeng was not annoyed when being scolded, but was still happy and energetic.

Jiang Lianzhu grabbed a sheep from the poultry pen and said, "Eat it! Stop showing off! You came all this way here. What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to spend the New Year with Ji Feng?"

Chengfeng and Jifeng were rude. They pressed the sheep's head and broke it with one claw.

This kind of bloody and violent scene was not the first time that Jiang Lianzhu had seen it. Having raised so many carnivores, she had become calm and used to it.

The sheep completed its mission in this life and ascended to heaven in an instant.

The two golden eagles used their sharp claws to tear the sheep into pieces in three or five strokes and shared the food. Jifeng ate more at night and consumed less, so his appetite was far less than Chengfeng's at this time. Chengfeng became much more ferocious and tore large pieces of meat into pieces for eating.

"If you're not full, tell me and I'll get you two more ducks..."

"Tell me what you were thinking? Your master said you were so depressed that you had to come here. Is that you? What's wrong with you? Is your brain failing? Is it degenerating? Or what?"

Jiang Lianzhu nagged it for a while, but it didn't get angry and let Jiang Lianzhu scold it.

"You're shameless, just like your master. We've only been together for a while, and you've already been led astray by him."

Pooh!

At this time, it was midnight and some old people in the village came out to set off firecrackers.

Setting off firecrackers can welcome the New Year and drive away evil.

Chengfeng and Jifeng were a little agitated when they heard the sound of firecrackers. Jiang Lianzhu comforted them, "Don't be afraid, it's just the sound of firecrackers. It will be gone soon. Welcome the New Year!"

Not many families set off firecrackers. Only a few families with better conditions can afford to buy them.

Generally, if the harvest is bad, it will be released at the headman’s house on behalf of the whole village.

This year, thanks to the income from autumn pear paste, people can give more.

At the gate of the yard, Liao Jiu came out in a cloak. He came to look for her after he finished eating. He was holding her coat in his hand.

"It's cold outside, put on more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold."

Jiang Lianzhu gave him a look that said, "What do you care?"

Liao Jiu put the clothes on her and said, "It's the New Year, a new beginning. Doctor Jiang, happy New Year!"

A warm heat surrounded Jiang Lianzhu.

Chengfeng and Jifeng, who were wearing night pearls, stopped eating and flew to the top of the wall, watching curiously as others outside set off firecrackers.

Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help but think that this was her first Spring Festival since she traveled through time, and the man who was accompanying her to celebrate the New Year was actually this man!

This guy is half an enemy.

Forget it, it’s unlucky to beat someone during the New Year.

"Liao is safe and sound, happy new year."

Liao Jiu asked, "Have you prepared any firecrackers? Shall we set some off too?"

Jiang Lianzhu hummed, "Yes."

Tonight, let him go for now and don't treat him as an enemy.

"Walk."

The two entered the yard. Jiang Lianzhu went to the utility room and found a string of firecrackers. Liao Jiu took out a small piece of charcoal from the house and worked together at the gate to place the firecrackers. Liao Jiu pulled Jiang Lianzhu away from the firecrackers and threw the small piece of charcoal onto the fuse.

New Year's firecrackers began to explode with a crackling sound.

The sparks exploded on the snow like dragons, making it look like a tree of fire and silver flames, which was extremely beautiful.

Jiang Lianzhu was in a good mood and smiled happily. The firecrackers blew away the gloom, and next year will be another good year.

"Jiang Lianzhu..." Amid the sound of firecrackers, Liao Jiu called Jiang Lianzhu.

Jiang Lianzhu couldn't hear clearly, "Huh?"

"Let's celebrate the New Year together again next year!"

"ah?"

Liao Jiu smiled silently.

The fatigue from flying for half the night in the cold disappeared completely in this moment.

What does worth it?

Now it’s worth it.

The firecrackers don’t last long, but this happy process will be unforgettable for a long time.

After the firecrackers were set off, Wangjia Village returned to silence.

The two entered the house, and Liao Jiu handed Jiang Lianzhu something, "This is for you, a New Year's gift."

Jiang Lianzhu was surprised. "What the hell?"

Liao Jiu replied, "It's a hand warmer, a gift from the Emperor. It has lotus patterns on it. I thought it would complement your name, so I gave it to you."

When Jiang Lianzhu saw the imperial gift for the first time, she felt a little curious, but not flattered.
