About three days later, as the festive atmosphere of the New Year grew stronger, Qingyun and Changjun returned to the village in a horse-drawn carriage.
Just as wolves smelled the scent of meat, local gentry and landlords from the surrounding villages began sending New Year's gifts one after another.
Practice makes perfect, and this time both families knew how to handle the situation.
The fishpond was in an uproar again, and everyone came to watch the excitement, some helping out, others dividing the fish.
The lives of the villagers have visibly improved.
May you have fish every year, and may you have abundance every year.
Paste up Spring Festival couplets, and paste the "福" (good fortune) upside down.
On New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers could be heard everywhere.
The children's favorite thing to do is to gather together, have snowball fights, eat icicles, and some even take out candied peanuts from their pockets to share.
Some kids secretly grabbed a handful of peanut candy from home and showed it off, only to be caught by their parents, who then grabbed their ears, spanked them, and made them cry really loudly!
"Woof woof woof~"
On this special day, no one is happier than the dogs.
They wagged their tails frantically, staring longingly at the kitchen.
The place smells wonderful today – meat, fish, and so on!
As a member of the family, Xiaobai was entrusted with an important task—
Keep an eye on the little owner~
Even though its little owner keeps pulling its tail and it hurts, it remains loyal and doesn't dare to leave its side for even a moment.
"Ahhh~"
"Eeya eeya~"
"Giggle~"
The little wonton was drooling, laughing so hard that his gums were showing without him even realizing it.
It's a moving, furry thing in my hand, so much fun!
"Waaaaah~"
Little White didn't dare to howl at its little owner, so it could only stand there trembling with a pitiful look on its face, making it easier for its little owner to pinch its tail.
Tsk tsk, what a mess.
Jiang Yue brought out a plate of freshly made fish balls. Seeing Xiao Bai's pitiful state, she quickly came over to rescue the little guy.
"My little darling, this is Xiaobai's tail. If you pull it again, it will become a bald dog. How will it find a mate then?"
"Waaaaah~"
After smelling the delicious aroma of the treat its owner was holding, Little White really wanted to wag its tail, but...
Jiang Yue coaxed her granddaughter to let go of Xiaobai's tail, and took the opportunity to soothe Xiaobai as well:
"Silly dog, go fetch your food bowl, I'll pour you some fish balls."
"Awoo~"
Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Little White was able to bend and stretch, proving that its endurance and hardship were not in vain!
What a silly dog! As soon as there's food, it runs off excitedly to grab the food bowl.
Jiang Yue chuckled, then picked up the little wonton, pressed its cheek against his, and lifted it high, making the little guy giggle uncontrollably.
"Mom, can I hug Little Wonton too?"
Qingsong was envious. He had just returned from his grandmother's house and had been nagged by his elders.
"You should learn from this, so you won't be unsure how to take care of your child later."
Jiang Yue nodded and handed the small wontons to her second uncle.
Ah~
Little Wonton isn't shy at all; she smiles and shows her gums no matter who holds her.
Qingsong skillfully held his little niece and casually remarked:
"Hehe, Little Wonton loves to laugh just like my little sister did when she was little."
"It's true that nieces resemble their aunts."
Seeing how skillfully Jiang Yue held Qingsong, she realized that he was much older than Yao Yao and must have spoiled her a lot when she was little.
"Woof woof woof~"
Little Whitey brought over its precious food bowl and made a happy sound.
It did something really awesome: it carried its food bowl around the front yard, deliberately letting its arch-rival, the big white goose, see that it was getting special treatment again!
"Clatter, clatter~"
Big White suddenly rushed over, stretching its neck to peck Little White!
That damn stupid dog, forcing it to open its mouth!
hateful!
Goose's life is not to be trifled with, charge!
"Wow wow wow~"
Little Wonton was startled by the sudden appearance of the giant winged monster and wiggled its bottom, wanting to go back to its mother's embrace.
"This is outrageous! How dare you scare my little darling!"
Tonight is New Year's Eve, time for stewed goose in an iron pot!
Qingsong returned his niece to her mother, then swiftly grabbed the goose by the neck and brought it to justice...
Baymax's last thought was: to settle personal scores!
Don't think it doesn't know; it pecked at this person when it first came to this home!
Goose is born and dies.
"Qingsong, you acted way too fast!"
Jiang Yue covered Xiaohuntun's eyes, not wanting her granddaughter to witness this horrific scene.
"Mom, I'm going to pluck the goose feathers now, so we can have more dishes tonight!"
Qingsong fled, fearing his mother wouldn't let him eat goose meat.
In fact, Jiang Yue was only sad for Da Bai for a second, and then nothing more.
Stewed goose in an iron pot, with a few cornbreads on top, so delicious!
Da Bai: I've ultimately misplaced my trust.
After a busy day, the New Year's Eve dinner is all ready.
Before eating, firecrackers were set off at the door to invite the ancestors and Wu Sanlang back.
Then they lit incense and the whole family offered prayers from head to toe.
Then they began to take their seats. Even the two sisters, Aunt Ge and Ye He and Ye Hua, were ordered by the family to sit at the end of the table.
"Woof woof woof~"
Of course, there's also the great hero, Xiaobai.
Jiang Yue was egged on by her family to say something. After thinking for a moment, she poured herself a glass of wine, stood up, raised her glass, and said:
"This year, our whole family is healthy. Qingshan's family even had a baby, Qingsong started from scratch in Jinling, Qingyun passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, Qingyao is well-behaved and sensible, and I also received an imperial reward and was granted the title of County Lady..."
"Today marks a perfect end to this year. I wish my family and I continued success next year, that we all live our own happy lives, and stay healthy. I don't ask for great achievements, just smooth sailing and good health~"
"good!"
"Wow!"
"Look, the little wontons are all ready too."
Haha~
"This little guy is smart; he'll definitely be a master of mischief in the future."
"Go away, second brother, do you believe I'll pull your ear? How can you praise your own niece like that?"
"I was wrong, brother, please don't hold it against me. Let me toast you!"
"Second brother, when are you going to marry your sister-in-law? Don't fall too far behind your eldest brother!"
"You little rascal, watch out for your New Year's money!"
"Hehe, I've reserved my third brother's New Year's money!"
"Okay, little sister, you'd better not fall asleep tonight, or else~"
"Mom~ My second brother is going to steal my New Year's money!"
"Pfft~"
Qingsong spit out a mouthful of wine, and everyone moved away in disgust.
"Mother, I'm innocent!"
Haha~
Serves you right!
"Cough cough~"
......
The dinner table was filled with a peaceful atmosphere, with the family chatting and laughing, and teasing the little one.
Aunt Ge and the Ye sisters, He and Hua, covered their mouths and giggled, not daring to openly tease the second young master...
Little White munched on the meat with relish, thinking how delicious it tasted!
It would be wonderful if I could eat this every day!
Big White: Dog meat is delicious too. Be careful when you sleep at night, and you'd better not dream about it!
"Woof woof woof~"
Little White finished eating a piece of meat, but wanted more, so it called out.
Jiang Yue picked out another piece of goose meat and tossed it to Xiaobai, thinking to herself, "Amitabha, Xiaobai, may you be reincarnated soon, and may you not be a goose in your next life..."
