The rewards were not distributed until the moon was above the treetops, but at the same time, they received gratitude from the entire village, and they all expressed their desire to work with the Jiang family again next year.
After dinner in the evening, I went to bed early. Although all businesses are suspended now, the roast duck restaurants and dim sum shops in the town are still open. Especially since I have been so busy at home recently that I haven’t had time to clean up the yard, so I will start cleaning up tomorrow.
The next day.
Before daybreak, the roosters began to crow, one louder than the other. Ke Xin, who was still half asleep, had no place to vent her anger. If she didn't vent her morning grumpiness, she would end up getting angry at herself.
So, the person next to her was sleeping so soundly that she became more and more angry. She gritted her teeth, gathered all her strength and kicked the person down. She heard a cry from the person, and Ke Xin's mood instantly improved.
"It's dawn, get up quickly!"
Liu Feiyang sat on the ground, rubbing his eyes and looking out the window. It was still dark, how could it be bright? He pouted and reluctantly moved from the ground to the bed: "Be good, stop making trouble and go to sleep!"
After saying that, he hugged her and was about to continue sleeping. However, just as he closed his eyes, he was awakened by the pain again. With a heavy nasal voice, he said, "What are you doing, my wife? I'm sleepy!"
Ke Xin was also speechless: "Aren't you sleepy too? The whole family is cleaning today, hurry up and get up, we have to clean the house thoroughly and take apart and wash the bedding!"
Liu Feiyang's mind paused for a moment, then he remembered what his parents had said during dinner last night. He sighed, "Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble just to celebrate the New Year?"
He said he was helpless, but he still got up resignedly.
As soon as the couple got up, Haitang brought the water for washing into the house. When they walked out of the door, the people outside were already working hard, some cleaning the yard and some sweeping the floor.
When Ge Shuzhen saw Jiuer get up, she immediately gave her a very important task: "Take apart all the bedding in the house so I can wash it later!"
satisfying:......
I don't understand why we can't just take off the covers when we get up? Why do we have to assign someone else to do this job?
Su Yan, whose hair was tied up in a bun, saw Ke Xin's face, which looked hopeless, and said with a smile, "Jiu'er, I'll go take it down. Can you help me check if there are any cucumbers in the greenhouse? Pick some down and we'll have noodles with soybean paste for lunch."
Ke Xin made a kissing gesture towards Su Yan from a distance: "My sister-in-law still loves me. I'm going!"
Ge Shuzhen glared at Kexin: "You're talking as if I don't care about you!"
Although he said that, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he was obviously in a good mood.
The whole family was doing a big cleaning. Han Ruyue wanted to help, but she couldn't help with anything. Moreover, Liu Xu was busy checking the account books sent from various places back home. He had been back for several days, but the settlement was still not completed.
Seeing this, Madam Qiao tugged at Han Ruyue's sleeve and said, "Madam, the family must have been very busy these past two days. Why don't we go back home and make some New Year's food, and then bring it back in a carriage. This way, Madam Jiang won't have to cook it anymore."
Han Ruyue frowned: "But I don't know what the villagers eat during the New Year. How can I make it?"
"I can make things like meatballs, steamed meat, frozen dumplings, rice cakes, bean buns, and steamed buns."
Aunt Qiao recalled the things her family made during the Chinese New Year when she was a child, and talked about them a lot.
When Han Ruyue heard this, her head suddenly became full of confusion. It would take at least half a month to prepare all these things... And the Chinese New Year was only three days away. How could they possibly make so many?
"Go back to the mansion, gather everyone there, and work on it quickly!" Han Ruyue immediately made a decision: "If it doesn't work, find a few chefs from the restaurant to help."
Before leaving, Han Ruyue said a few words to Ge Shuzhen and simply explained that they had taken care of all the New Year's preparations and they didn't need to worry about anything else.
Before Ge Shuzhen understood what was going on, she saw Han Ruyue leaving with her people. She didn't feel comfortable asking her mother-in-law what she had prepared, thinking it would just be some delicacies from land and sea.
In the greenhouse, Ke Xin picked some cucumbers and some leeks. Leeks in this season taste delicious and are most delicious when made into dumplings, so everyone had noodles at noon and dumplings at night.
"My wife, my wife~"
At the entrance of the greenhouse, Liu Feiyang kept calling out, and Ke Xin responded, "I'm coming."
As soon as they came out of the greenhouse, they saw him pulling the bow in his hand. Ke Xin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you going up the mountain?"
"Let's go hunting. Do you want to come with me and get some game?"
Ke Xin stroked her chin and thought for a while, thinking about her own space. There were only chickens in it. She should catch some other animals to breed, such as rabbits.
"Walk!"
Ke Xin didn't even bother to say a word and dragged Liu Feiyang away. Xiao Wu, Jasmine and Haitang followed behind them. The yard suddenly became empty with five fewer people, but the people working didn't even notice they left.
The snow-covered forest is a vast expanse of white.
Ke Xin heard a creaking sound under her feet. She looked around and saw nothing nearby. Apart from a few people breathing, there was no living creature in sight.
“There’s nothing…ah…”
Just as Ke Xin was about to complain, a pheasant suddenly appeared from somewhere and flew over her head so blatantly, scaring her.
Looking at the pheasant with distinct colors, she grabbed Liu Feiyang's hand and shouted, "Catch, catch, catch, pheasant..."
Liu Feiyang smiled and embraced the person in his arms: "Why do you need me, your husband, for this?"
