"Is the news accurate?"

"Of course, when I heard it, I thought it was a bit exaggerated and even went to Guihua Lane to check. Now everyone in your room has long gone, and those who came out are all unfamiliar faces. They must be new residents, right?"

When Ling's father said this, his expression was serious. They knew Shang Qinnan's background very well, so they paid special attention to her on weekdays.

But there are always a lot of things to do during the holidays, so by the time they found out, the fifth room had already been empty, and their whereabouts were unknown, so Ling's father hurried back to tell her the news.

For some reason, Shang Qinnan felt a little scared.

First, she was afraid that her identity would be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble, and second, she was afraid that someone was behind the disappearance of the fifth room. If that person wanted to wipe out the roots, wouldn't she be in danger? So, she hugged her daughter in her arms and spoke with some trepidation.

"Father, go find a few capable people to look after the house and guard it, just in case anything goes wrong."

After hearing what she said, Ling's father thought it made sense and hurried out the door.

It is not easy to find someone this young, so the price will naturally be higher. But he is not afraid of it. As long as he can protect Qiniang and Baoer, their Ling family will have a steady stream of income. He will still consider this little deal.

It's New Year's Eve again.

The general's mansion was a bit deserted this year, but the Du family was bustling.

Gu Shaoyu naturally did not return from Wangzhou, so Du Jingyi took the children back to the Du family to celebrate the New Year. The two elders of the He family from Pingzhou also arrived. Because the new house still needed some repairs, they stayed at the Du family temporarily.

He Shilin today is completely different from when Du Jingyi met him two or three months ago. He seems to have been reborn and exudes a sense of prosperity.

He returned from Xuanzhou in the snow and wind. This time he had a half-month vacation, after which he would go back to take up his post. He originally thought that Du Jingxiang would go with him, but his wife was pregnant, so he had to return alone.

But even so, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

When people reach middle age, happy events come one after another, which can refresh anyone, so Du Jingyi said jokingly.

"My brother-in-law seems to be several years younger now, and his complexion is much better. It seems that he is doing a good job in Xuanzhou."

"I have to thank my sister and brother Xing Zhao for their help. My colleagues in Xuanzhou are very kind and polite, and they are all practical people. So I have learned a lot from them. Of course, people should be more humble."

After hearing this, the two elders of the He family also sincerely wanted to thank Du Jingyi.

After all, they had been active in Pingzhou for many years and had given a lot of money, but their son's future was still foreseeable, especially for the master of the He family, who sighed and said.

"It's all our fault for being so short-sighted. We always wanted Shilin to go back to Pingzhou so that we could take care of him. We didn't expect that this would delay the child's future. If the couple hadn't returned with the child this time, I'm afraid there wouldn't be such a good opportunity."

After saying that, he raised the wine glass in front of him and toasted the Du couple and Du Jingyi.

"It is a blessing from our previous life that our He family can marry you. If Shilin dares to be unfilial to you in the future, I will beat him with a big stick!"

"Oh, what are you saying on such a big festival, my father-in-law? Besides, how can Shilin be unfilial? He treats us very well. It's only natural for a family to help each other when they live together."

Both parents are open-minded people, so after a few glasses of warm wine, the New Year's Eve dinner tastes even better.

There were six children in total, so we set up a separate table nearby.

They were all teenagers, and they ate well-behaved without making any noise. Their meals were specially prepared according to the children’s tastes, and included all the things they liked.

Brother Tai would always think of serving food to everyone from time to time, and he could be considered a thoughtful person. Brother Wen was a bit rough in his eating habits, but he was the tallest of the three brothers, so it was normal for him to eat more.

After dinner, the new year is half over, and the children are waiting to kowtow to the elders to get lucky money.

They stood in line according to their age, with the two elders from the Du family and the two elders from the He family sitting at the top, Du Jingxiang and his wife and Du Jingyi sitting on both sides, and the children kowtowed in turn and soon received red envelopes full of money.

Wen Ge'er has a festive look and resembles Master Du. Now that he has received the New Year's money, he smiles as much as Master Du. Naturally, Mrs. Du couldn't help but pinch his chubby face and then said.

"Sometimes I wonder what the master looked like when he was a child. Now I know it by looking at Wen Ge'er, but he must not have been as fat as Wen Ge'er when he was a child!"

Mr. Du looked him up and down and nodded lovingly.

However, when Wen Ge heard this, he was a little unhappy. He came up to Mrs. Du and said.

"Grandma, what you said is wrong. Wen Ge'er is not fat, he is strong, thick and healthy!"

His childish talk made everyone present laugh, so Mrs. Du took him in her arms and spoke.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Okay, okay, you're right!"

The whole family had a lively and comfortable New Year.

Thousands of miles away, Wangzhou.

In the camp of the Huben Army, the cooks arranged a dumpling banquet for everyone today. More than a dozen large pots were set up in the army. The dumplings slurped down and floated up in a short while.

They are all strong men, so naturally they have good appetites.

So the cooks were making dumplings while they were still wrapping them continuously, and the whole military camp was very lively.

After many years, Xing Zhao once again spent the New Year in the military camp. He felt indescribably excited, so he was like a monkey, looking here and walking there. He didn't look like a man over thirty years old at all. He just looked like those young recruits who had just entered the military camp.

Ni Yang saw it and said to Gu Shaoyu.

"General, you should take care of this kid Xing Zhao. I originally thought that Old Xue had made him cry after training him, but who knew that he would become stronger and stronger the more he trained. He is even more powerful than when he first arrived. Even the new recruits started training like crazy with him. He is even more terrifying than Xiao Mu and the others before."

Gu Shaoyu picked up the wine bowl and drank a bowl. He felt warm all over. No matter how strong the wind and snow were in Wangzhou, it didn't matter at this moment.

"He is much smarter than you. Look how much these new recruits admire him now. Just wait and see. He will definitely get the most heads when the army is divided in March next year."

Ni Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard that, and when he looked at Xing Zhao, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise!
