Leng You: “…”
She circled around Xiang Wentian for several times with a bad attitude, until the other party couldn't bear to watch it anymore and grabbed her and pressed her on the kang.
When Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu saw her, they had a somewhat abnormal smile on their faces and praised her a lot, saying that Grandma Wen had very skillful hands and dressed her up in a way that looked both cute and festive.
Leng You: “…”
She acted in a bad way, not refuting the two old people's aesthetic taste, but just thought they were really praising her.
The customs in Daheishan Village are similar to those in most places in the north, and the New Year's breakfast is relatively simple.
Wen Jiuyue cooked rice, pork stewed with vermicelli, and stir-fried mung bean sprouts with vinegar.
The meal may seem simple, but it is of a level never achieved during previous Chinese New Year celebrations.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
After dinner, Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu went to the foot of the mountain to pick up stones despite Wen Jiuyue's dissuasion.
The stones for building the house were already in stock, and they were picking up slabs for paving the ground these days. It was too far from the county town, and transportation was a big problem, so they didn't dare to consider using bricks to pave the ground and build the house.
Leng You and Xiang Wentian were not allowed to help at home, so they ran to the valley again.
By lunch time, everyone returned to Wen Jiuyue's house.
No matter what the situation was, it was the New Year after all, so Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu went back to change into new clothes that Wen Jiuyue had made for them.
Both of them wore newly made thick cotton jackets and trousers, and Zhongshan suits on the outside. The only difference was the color, Xiang Huaixin wore dark gray polyester, and Bai Changpu wore dark blue polyester.
On his feet were the five-hole cotton shoes that Leng You and his friends bought from the county town (Leng You bought them because he couldn't bear the hard work of Wen Jiuyue who stayed up late to make them). In order to prevent slipping, he specially bought them with rubber soles.
Everyone was covered with a fur coat also designed by Wen Jiuyue, which made them warm and energetic.
Xiang Wentian was also urged by Leng You to change into new clothes.
Like everyone else, with abundant materials, Wen Jiuyue also helped Xiang Wentian do the whole package from inside to outside.
He wore a fitted cotton jacket and cotton trousers inside, a dark green thick corduroy Zhongshan suit as his outer layer, and on his feet were the deerskin suede cotton shoes that Leng You insisted on buying for him in the county town. And on the outermost layer was his military coat.
When Xiang Wentian, who had changed into new clothes, appeared in front of Leng You, Leng You was in a trance. She seemed to see Xiang Sanye, who was dressed in a cold and stern manner and also came through time and space from more than 20 years later.
"What are you daydreaming about?" He felt a light slap on the forehead, and then a big hand covered him and massaged him gently, bringing Leng You back to his senses.
But his eyes still couldn't move away from the young Xiang Wentian.
In his previous life, he was completely in awe of Master Xiang San's cold-bloodedness, ruthlessness, mystery, and tremendous power. It was not until he saw him again before his death that he gained even more admiration for him.
Although the beginning of this life has become different, twenty years later, perhaps the things that existed in the previous life will not change, but there will definitely be more dragons and phoenixes, noble bearing, Xu Gong in the north of the city, Pan An throwing fruits, and beauty like Shunhua that no one can deny...
Although he is only fifteen years old now.
New Year's lunch is the highlight of the year.
Braised pork elbow, spicy pheasant meat, four-happiness meatballs, braised grass carp, braised roe deer meat, fried quail, spicy rabbit head, silly half chicken stewed with potatoes, candied sweet potato, sauerkraut and pork stewed with frozen tofu, seaweed egg drop soup, ten dishes and one soup.
The staple food is another specialty of Wen Jiuyue - big steamed buns stuffed with chopped noodles.
Everyone was waiting for Wen Jiuyue and only sat down after the dishes were served.
Xiang Wentian poured Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu each a glass of Lao Baigan that he and Leng You bought from the county town. Leng You poured Wen Jiuyue a glass of red wine (at that time, there were no dry red or dry white wines in the county town).
Leng You and Xiang Wentian each had a glass of orange juice.
"Today is such a festive day, why don't you say a few words, Brother Xiang?" The smell of alcohol had already made Bai Changpu drool almost all over the floor, so he started urging as soon as he sat down.
"Say a few words?" Xiang Huaixin was no longer used to it as he hadn't been so formal for many years.
"Brother Xiang, please say a few words!" Wen Jiuyue's face was full of sincerity and respect.
“Okay, then I’ll say a few words.
After so many years in Daheishan Village, the past month or so has been the happiest time of my life, and I believe the same is true for Lao Bai.
All of this was mainly brought about by You Yatou. And also thanks to the care of Wen Jiajie, as Lao Bai said, we not only have enough to eat but also eat well and wear warm clothes.
Lao Bai and I both remember this kindness.
Of course, my son Wen Tian also contributed a lot.
But for now, the most important thing for us is to get You girl out of the Leng family as quickly as possible without any mistakes or accidents.
Although some things are proceeding step by step according to our plan, everything is uncertain before the goal is achieved and we must be extremely careful.
Another important thing is to build a house for the Wen family’s sister and You girl.
All the necessary stones have been prepared. Wen Tian said that he would cut the dry dead trees in the valley and transport them up, so that we don’t have to worry about the wood being too wet and deformed and unusable.
We will start work as soon as the ice thaws a little. There is a ghost in the village right now, and this ghost has a very close relationship with us. The villagers regard us as a plague and dare not come here.
Even if they suddenly discover the new house one day, they will scare them away as if it were a haunted house.
Anyway, time is running out and we have to hurry up."
Xiang Huaixin's words had a hidden meaning.
Leng You's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
But he already understood in his heart that it seemed that Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu would return to Pingdu one after another this year according to the normal trajectory of their previous life, and they should have received the news from Xiang Wentian.
As for how Xiang Wentian got such accurate information, Leng You was no longer surprised or suspicious. Xiang Wentian's ability had already far exceeded her imagination.
She didn't even dare to imagine whether Xiang Wentian twenty years later in this life would be more terrifying and unfathomable than Xiang Wentian in her previous life.
Wen Jiuyue certainly couldn't hear the deeper meaning in Xiang Huaixin's words. She just thought that he was worried and anxious about Leng You and their future lives.
"According to the plan, the Leng family should come to us soon." Bai Changpu showed a childlike excitement and a naughty smile on his face.
"Ah? You're looking for us? Are you going to take Youyou back?" Wen Jiuyue's hands trembled violently and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Sister Wen, don't be afraid, it's a good thing. The sooner they find us, the sooner we can get Xiao Youyou out." Bai Changpu hurried to comfort her.
"Is there something I don't know?" Wen Jiuyue finally sensed that something was wrong.
