Chapter 607: New Year
After the afternoon, the New Year's Eve dinner begins.
Everyone in Yuancheng ate at the market, while those who were close to Lin Mo ate at the inn.
First, the market area is limited and cannot accommodate so many people.
Another reason is that the ground becomes slippery when there are too many people. Lin Mo’s situation is special now and she cannot afford any collisions, so it is not suitable for her to sit with everyone.
But even though it was divided into two gangs, today was still exceptionally lively.
As cups were clinked and glasses were passed around, everyone's face was flushed. Even the cold wind could not stop the excitement and festivity.
Everyone wanted to toast Lin Mo. After all, if it weren't for her, they wouldn't be able to live the good life they have now.
Having food to eat, drink to drink and extra money in hand, this is the kind of life they pursue all their lives.
Now that Lin Mo has helped them achieve it, everyone wants to express their gratitude to her.
However, Old Song stopped them and told them not to toast. The young lady couldn't drink alcohol now, so they just needed to eat and drink well today and show their appreciation.
Only then did everyone give up.
The noise from the market reached Lin Mo. Lin Mo just smiled and asked Xu Pinggui to toast them with a glass of wine on his behalf to thank them for their hard work over the past six months.
Then he asked Xu Xianyu to take the basket of red envelopes and give one to everyone, young or old, as this was what they deserved after their hard work for a year.
Listening to the cheers coming from the market, Lin Mo chuckled.
They are really easy to satisfy.
However, on this day of family reunion, it is indeed a happy thing for the whole family, young and old, to gather together to eat and chat.
It’s a pity that Lao Xu couldn’t make it back.
Seeing that they had almost finished eating and it was already dark outside, Lin Mo stood up with great interest:
"Come on, let's go out and set off firecrackers and fireworks.
I’ve prepared a lot for this!”
There was a pile of firecrackers and fireworks in her space, all of which were taken from the palace warehouse when she looted the palace.
"Great, sister, let's go set off fireworks." Xu Mengxian finally shouted excitedly like a child, then pulled Xu Xianyu and rushed out.
They haven't seen fireworks for a long time.
This time, she wants to light the most beautiful fireworks for everyone to see.
Liu Ying and Qing Lian followed Lin Mo on the left and right, and slowly walked out from behind.
Snowflakes are floating in the sky, but the whiteness of the snow cannot suppress the redness and joy of the New Year.
Amidst the laughter and joy, it seemed that all the coldness had given way.
As the sound of firecrackers rang out, the cheers and laughter gradually grew louder.
This was followed by fireworks.
When the fireworks shot up into the sky, the sound was exceptionally loud, and when they exploded in the sky, scattering colorful stars, the cheers of the crowd became even louder.
Even amidst the noisy cheers, Lin Mo heard Xu Mengxian's voice:
"Sister-in-law, I lit these fireworks. Are they pretty?"
Lin Mo glanced in the direction of Xu Mengxian with a smile, and then began to admire the fireworks.
Fireworks are difficult to make, and making them look good is even more difficult.
So fireworks are a scarce commodity.
Many people here have never seen such beautiful fireworks, so they were naturally amazed.
"Young Madam, your fireworks are so beautiful. This is the first time I have seen such beautiful fireworks." Qinglian said.
It was obviously very lively and the young lady had a smile on her face, but she just felt that the young lady seemed a little lonely and not very happy.
"This is also my first time seeing it up close. It's really beautiful." Lin Mo chuckled:
"Okay, don't worry about me. Go to the front and take a good look. I'll watch from here."
Qinglian wanted to say something, but when she accidentally saw someone striding towards her, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and then a bright smile appeared on her face:
"good!"
Lin Mo laughed as she watched Qinglian running towards Xu Xianyu and the others in front.
I thought she would refuse to leave, but I didn't expect her to leave after just saying one sentence.
She is still a little girl, at the age when she loves to play, so she usually has to work hard to maintain a mature appearance.
Looking at the fireworks all over the sky, Lin Mo's lips curled up.
Such beautiful fireworks, did you see it, Old Xu, who was still on his way?
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was someone behind her.
Lin Mo didn't look back. "You don't need to watch over me during the New Year. Go and have some fun. I'll stay here and won't run around."
She finished speaking, but she didn't hear the sound from behind her, but she found a pair of hands on her waist.
Lin Mo was shocked, "Who!"
As she spoke, she quickly turned around, then widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her with disbelief. The man looked exhausted and obviously much thinner than before.
"It's me, I'm back." Xu Wuyan, with a beard, spoke in a hoarse voice.
His tired eyes instantly became bright when Lin Mo turned around and looked at him.
"Old Xu!"
Lin Mo was so excited that she couldn't control herself and threw herself into his arms.
"You're back, great!"
Xu Wuyan's body stiffened, then he chuckled:
"You're jumping on me like this, and you don't mind that I'm dirty and smelly."
He originally wanted to go back and wash up before coming to see her.
But I missed her so much that I couldn't help but come to see her first.
Seeing her standing there alone with her bulging belly, watching the fireworks dejectedly, his heart suddenly tightened.
For a moment, he didn't dare to move forward.
She was guarding Yuancheng and the pressure she was under was no less than his own.
Most importantly, she was pregnant.
It's all my fault that she has to bear so much pressure.
For a moment, he didn't dare to go forward and hug her.
But in the end, he couldn't help but step forward and gently hug the person he had been thinking about day and night for a long time.
When Lin Mo hugged him, she wanted to cry for a moment.
But she quickly controlled her emotions.
She sniffed, looked up, and looked at him with a bright smile:
“I don’t mind.
No matter what you become, I will never despise you.
It’s just that I haven’t shaved in a long time, what’s the big deal.”
As she spoke, Lin Mo playfully reached out and pulled his beard.
Good-looking people are popular.
He doesn't look ugly with a beard, but becomes more charming. And now he gives people a different feeling, wild and unruly.
Xu Wuyan chuckled, reached out and hugged her tightly.
Lin Mo leaned her head on his chest, watching the fireworks rising by the river with a look of satisfaction on her face. Their family was reunited.
After a while, Lin Mo stood up straight and held his hand:
"Let's go home first.
Take a shower first, then eat."
He was in a hurry to get on his way, so he must not have eaten yet.
"No!" Xu Wuyan shook his head, his face solemn:
"I brought back my father's skull. I have to place it in the ancestral hall first."
Lin Mo slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot about this.
But don't worry, the ancestral hall has been built, so you can just go there and place it there."
Having said that, he immediately sent someone to call sisters Xu Xianyu and Xu Mengxian back.
Their father's skull was sent back to the ancestral hall, and they, as daughters, had to be present.
They planned to place the skull in the ancestral hall for worship first, and when all the other bones were delivered, they would find another Feng Shui treasure land to bury it.
The Xu Xianyu sisters were extremely excited to see Xu Wuyan.
But when they heard that their father's skull was going to be sent to the ancestral hall, their eyes immediately turned red.
They couldn't help but curse King Heng in a low voice, calling him a beast.
Lin Mo did not stop them, but she and Xu Wuyan solemnly carried the skull in.
Anyway, Prince Heng must be having a hard time now.
After respectfully placing the box containing the skull of King Anping on the altar, Xu Wuyan, along with Lin Mo and others, lit incense and knelt down respectfully.
After everything was settled, they left the ancestral hall.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Xu Wuyan sniffed and then looked at Lin Mo, "Madam, I'm home."
"Yeah!" Lin Mo reached out and grabbed his hand, with a smile on her lips:
"Welcome home, Lao Xu."
Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Xu Xianyu and her sister made a face at them, then trotted away, leaving them alone.
Xu Wuyan laughed, "These two girls are getting more and more naughty. They even laughed at me, their big brother."
"Isn't this good? It makes us feel more like a family." Lin Mo took his hand and walked towards the yard where they lived:
"Let's go, Nanny Qin and the others should have prepared a bath for you.
You wash up first, and then we will have the reunion dinner together as a family."
Lin Mo was already wondering if the food he would eat soon would not be to his taste.
"Well, I'll listen to you, Madam." Xu Wuyan looked at her gently.
"Ma'am, did I tell you that I missed you?"
Lin Mo blushed and coughed lightly, "I miss you too, but I'm fat now. Will you dislike me..."
"Where are you fat?" Xu Wuyan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, leaned his head close to her ear and whispered softly.
Lin Mo's face flushed instantly, and she reached out to pinch his waist:
"rogue!"
