Chapter 367 New Year's Eve 2
Jiang Wan’s expectation came true.
Although there were no more wedding invitations, many villagers came and brought various foods and gifts.
Since someone gave her something as a gift, Jiang Wan couldn't refuse and could only give them some candy or snacks.
After all the busy work, she had given away all her orange candies.
Jiang Wan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
So as soon as his uncle and aunt arrived, Jiang Wan closed the gate and stopped receiving guests.
"Hey guys, are you going to open a grocery store?"
There were chickens and fish on the floor and table, as well as a variety of prepared dishes. Add to that the mess of shoes, clothes, and pillows, and it really looked like a store.
"The villagers are so enthusiastic, we have to accept them. Brother, don't just stand there and watch, come and help us clean up."
"I'm coming."
Yin Huaishan responded, and without caring whether the clothes were new or old, he helped to put all the things in the yard together.
Put the food you need to eat in the kitchen, and put the food you need to use in the pharmacy first.
It was because the stone house where the mother and daughter lived was too small, and the new house had not been built yet, so they could only use the pharmacy as a warehouse temporarily.
Jiang Wan didn't take any action. She and her cousin held the "gold nugget" at home on both sides and went to sit in the pavilion.
Song Wenhui didn't feel how fragile she was, but she enjoyed being so close to the two little girls, and the smile on her face never stopped.
She is now five months old and her belly is already very big. If she is lucky, you can even see the little guy stretching his arms and legs.
At this moment, the little one must have been frightened by the journey, and his stomach is dancing with joy.
The three of them watched so intently that they didn't even know when Yin Huaishan left.
Yin Huaishan left with all his equipment.
As for what equipment it is.
As a scholar, what other equipment could he have? Naturally, it would be pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
It’s just that the paper today is all red.
He and Zhou Laoer had already agreed to write Spring Festival couplets at the school gate and give them to the villagers free of charge.
Normally, the villagers were really nice to them. Not only did they respect them from the bottom of their hearts, they also secretly placed some fish, shrimp and vegetables outside their homes.
Time and again, they wanted to return it but didn't know to whom to return it.
This time, sending some Spring Festival couplets was just a small way to express their thoughts. It only cost a little ink and red paper, and they didn't feel bad at all.
When Yin Huaishan arrived at the school gate, he saw that the third master had already moved out the table he was going to use.
"Please take a rest, I'll move the stools and other things!"
The old man is old and his legs and feet are not very good, but he is still busy running around. Yin Huaishan feels bad for him.
"There are only a few stools, and they are not heavy. Are you looking down on me?"
Yin Huaishan said he didn't dare, and rushed forward with a smile to move the stool out.
After he had put everything on the table in order, he finally had the heart to chat with the old man.
"Master San, isn't the school closed for vacation? Why are you still here?"
Even Sanye's eyes darkened, but his tone remained unchanged.
"I've gotten used to staying here. I'd feel uneasy if I didn't sit here for a while someday."
Rather than going back to a cold and lonely home, it is better to stay here in the school.
Thinking of the scene of the village children studying there, he felt less lonely.
As the two were talking, two more people came to the intersection.
The person who came was naturally the second son of the Zhou family. His wife followed him and came to help him with the research.
But when he saw that Yin Huaishan was alone and the Third Master was there, Zhou Laoer's face turned red and he turned around and wanted to ask his wife to go back.
As a result, before he could even say anything, his wife glared at him and he was speechless.
"Why, do you think I'm embarrassing?"
"How dare I, madam, you have misunderstood."
Zhou He hurried to comfort him, saying that his wife's temper had been really bad recently and she was bald.
However, no matter how bad-tempered a person is, he or she will calm down a little when seeing the Third Master.
Xu Mingwei didn't know why he was afraid of an old man guarding the gate. Maybe it was because he had been on the battlefield and killed people?
In short, the couple stopped making a fuss and worked together to complete the preparations for writing the Spring Festival couplets.
Soon, pairs of Spring Festival couplets were created by Yin and Zhou. Xu Mingwei was in charge of grinding and hanging the written Spring Festival couplets aside to dry them. They could only be given to the villagers after they were completely dry.
As for Master Lian San, he stood by as a mascot and gossipmonger.
There are also some etiquettes for giving Spring Festival couplets.
Some families have a large population, while others have many happy events. Xu Mingweiwei will hand over the Spring Festival couplets to the corresponding families according to what the third master said.
The villagers received it and listened to Xu Mingwei's explanation, all of them were beaming with joy. They took it home like a baby and carefully attached it to both sides of the door frame.
Just as the families in the village were busy, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the entrance of the village.
The small fishing village has been very busy recently, but most people come here by boat from the ferry. This is the first time that people have traveled by horse-drawn carriage.
"Mom, please slow down."
"Go away, go away. I am only sixty years old. I am not an old person who can't walk."
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and an old lady with white hair came out of the carriage. She stepped on a stool and got out of the carriage without any help.
"My sweet niece is here?"
The old lady looked around the village curiously, but the lush trees blocked her view and she could only get a rough idea of it.
Anyway, it’s not as prosperous as the city.
"My cousin mentioned this place in the letter. I just checked and the signpost in front says Lianjiagou. It must be here."
"Even..."
The old lady curled her lips.
"Such a beautiful place has such an ugly name."
Having said that, she walked towards the village by herself.
The old lady, who was in her early sixties, walked with great energy and did not need any support at all.
The man and woman following behind her looked at each other helplessly and hurriedly chased after her.
"Mom, can't we at least give her a visiting card before we go? If we run over suddenly, it will scare the little girl."
"That's right, big brother is right. I think we should settle down in the city first and then come back after the New Year."
The old lady who was walking vigorously in front was annoyed by the two people's nagging, so she winked at her guards and while the guards were distracting her, she trotted into the village.
The old lady was wearing beautiful clothes and looked like a stranger, so she was very eye-catching when she walked in the village.
A villager immediately went to inform the village chief.
The old lady had practiced martial arts for many years and had sharp ears and eyes. She heard the villagers' whispers, but she didn't take it seriously.
Anyway, she had no ill intentions, she just came to visit a relative.
With her status, she would not be afraid even if Lord Qin from Hailing City came.
The old lady was very curious. She saw from a distance that there were a lot of people in a place, so she went over immediately.
At first glance, I saw a bright red piece hanging on the wooden frame, and then I saw an old man sitting next to the wooden frame.
Um?
That old man!
The old lady glared at him with a ferocious look in her eyes, and rushed over as if she wanted to eat someone.
