Xiao Wu said: "Grandma still loves me the most!"
Uncle Xu said, "Then I'll listen to my mother and celebrate the New Year first."
Xiaowu stood behind Wang with a smug look on his face, thinking that his grandmother was the best to him and was his biggest supporter.
Qibao laughed secretly when he heard this, what a silly Fifth Brother.
Boss Qian said, "Look, it's really lively with so many people here. Uncle, all of your grandchildren are outstanding. What a blessing! We're waiting for you!"
The old man glanced at Qibao and smiled, "That doesn't need to happen later! I feel like I'm the most blessed person right now!"
Mr. Qian said, "Yes, yes, what uncle said is true."
There were two large tables of people having dinner, mostly children, so it was a bit noisy.
While eating, Wang asked, "What are the plans for the owner and the cooks of this barbecue restaurant this year?"
The old man said, "I sent Kuiwu over a few days ago to give them a few days off. I'll let them spend the New Year in the store. If they need anything, just tell the shopkeeper. I'll also give each of them an extra two taels of silver as a New Year's gift."
"What about the village?"
"It's the same as last year, but each person gets two more pounds of meat and a jar of fruit wine," said the old man.
Wang smiled and said, "Other families buy New Year snacks and candies from town, but we make them ourselves. It's almost New Year, and we haven't even gone to town to buy anything yet!"
Mrs. Qian said, "I think the snacks I make are much better than those sold in town. If you open a snack shop in town, the business will definitely be very good."
Wang said, "I don't have the energy to open a shop. As long as my family likes to eat, that's all I need."
After dinner, everyone went back to their own room.
Boss Qian asked, "Madam, you look much better than before. It seems you are living well in the Xu family."
Madam Qian smiled and said, "I'm doing very well. Since I came to the Xu family, I've been in better spirits than before, and I'm now a teacher at the village school!"
Boss Qian asked, "Madam, what's going on? I didn't hear you talk about it when I just got back."
Mrs. Qian said, "I'm teaching embroidery to the girls in the village at the school!"
Boss Qian said, "This school that the Xu family has built is really interesting. It breaks with traditional precedents. This is the first time I've heard of a school teaching this way. If you feel tired, you don't have to teach. I'll find someone in town who knows embroidery to teach you."
Mrs. Qian said, "I'm not tired. I really enjoy it. Besides, I only teach for one morning."
Boss Qian said, "That's good, Madam. It's getting late, go to bed early."
Mrs. Qian said, "No hurry, I'll put Zhier to sleep first. He's been having so much fun today."
This year, the Xu family received New Year gifts from Su Chenyu and Jing Chen again. Surprisingly, County Magistrate Wu also sent someone to deliver New Year gifts, and the Xu family also returned the gifts.
On the Chinese New Year, Qibao asked the old man to buy a few more firecrackers. Thinking that every year during the Chinese New Year, people not only set off firecrackers but also beautiful fireworks, she wanted to make fireworks by herself.
So Qibao and his brothers opened all the extra firecrackers they had bought, poured out the black powder inside and collected it.
Xiao Wu said: "Sister, what do you want this black fan for?"
Qibao said mysteriously, "Of course it is useful. You will know when the time comes."
Roll the collected black powder into paper, fix a small wooden stick at the bottom, seal the two ends, and a simple small firework is ready.
After making dozens of them, several people's fingers were covered with black ash.
The Xu family's kitchen was bustling with activity. All the women in the family were helping out in the kitchen, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Some were frying meatballs, some were chopping meat, and the aroma of the food filled everyone's nose.
The children stopped playing and all followed the adults around in the kitchen.
Fortunately, Xu’s kitchen is big enough, otherwise there would be no place to put my feet.
Xiaowu leaned over the stove, watching his grandmother frying meatballs, and from time to time he secretly reached out and picked up one and put it in his mouth.
Wang Shi saw his little action and said, "I'll get a big bowl and fill it up. You can share it with these little ones."
"Okay, grandma, the meatballs you fried are so delicious!" Xiao Wu said.
"No matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat too much. There will be a large table of food waiting for you in the evening!" Wang said with a smile.
Xiaowu ran out holding the bowl, followed by a group of children who also ran out noisily, fearing that they would not get any share if they were too late.
Zhang smiled and said, "You usually eat a lot of good food! Why are you so greedy today?"
Mrs. Li said, "Sister-in-law, children are always like this. They have to rush to eat it because it tastes delicious! But it really is because of mother's good cooking skills."
Wang was so flattered that she smiled from ear to ear, and felt so happy inside.
The old man looked at Qibao who was sitting beside him and said, "Qibao, they are all playing, why don't you go? Ask your fifth brother to get you two meatballs too."
Qibao said, "Grandpa, you can have it when you eat later. I'm not hungry now."
The old man said, "Your grandma is here, why hasn't your grandpa come yet? I have to go and see him."
Qibao said, "Grandpa, let's go together."
So the old man took Qibao's hand and they headed towards the winery.
As soon as I entered the winery, I saw Old Man Lin sitting at the table, flipping through the account book in his hand.
The old man said, "Brother, it's already New Year's holiday, why are you still busy?"
When Old Man Lin saw his in-laws coming over, he immediately said, "I was just counting how much wine the winery brewed this year and how much was taken away so I could bring it over to you. I didn't expect you to come here first."
The old man said, "What are you looking at? I'm still worried about you. Let's go. It's almost time for dinner. You're the only one missing!"
