Lin Feng also rushed back today. A few days ago, he took Monkey to Lin Town and moved all the things that were left with Boss Lu to Rongcheng.
Lin Feng thought it was not convenient to move his things to his sister's house, so he temporarily rented a small courtyard in the city and lived there with Monkey for the past few days.
When Lin saw her brother, she couldn't help but stepped forward and hit him twice: "You said you were going to get your luggage, but you went out and there is no news!" After saying that, she secretly wiped away her tears.
Li Erlang could only comfort his wife: "Okay, okay, he's back! Today is a great day, don't be sad!"
Lin Feng also knew that he was in the wrong, so he stood aside and kept comforting her: "Sister, I just want to walk around the city and see if there are any business opportunities. Don't be angry with me!"
A short episode passed like this. At this time, Mrs. Wu came running and said, "Don't bother with anything. Come over for dinner tonight!" After saying that, she hurried back to her work.
After pasting the couplets and hanging the lanterns, Li Erlang and his family came next door.
At this time, the whole farmyard was filled with fragrant aroma. Li Xiaomei and Li Yan went to the kitchen to see if they could help. Wu urged them to go to the main hall and sit down: "We don't need you. Go and sit down. The dumplings will be ready soon and we can have dinner!"
Li Yan and her aunt had no choice but to return to the main hall. The table was already filled with food, all prepared by Wu Shi early in the morning. There was fish and meat, and it looked very rich.
Old Master Li looked at his children and asked them to sit down first. After a while, Mrs. Wu came over with some sauerkraut dumplings and asked them to eat.
Looking at his children and grandchildren gathered together, Mr. Li was filled with joy! He picked up a glass of wine and said cheerfully, "I'm happy today. Come, have a drink with Dad!"
Li Dalang and Li Erlang immediately picked up their wine glasses and drank all the wine in the glasses.
While the men were drinking and chatting, Mrs. Wu invited her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to eat. Everyone enjoyed the food and chatted about family matters, and laughter echoed in the main room.
Grandpa Li enjoyed the reunion dinner very happily. Life at home was getting better and better. Although the family had divided up this year, the two sons were living more and more prosperously. Grandpa Li took a sip of wine and felt very happy.
After dinner, Wu brought out a few red envelopes from her room and gave one to each of the children: "This is the New Year's money your grandparents give you. Remember to put it under your pillow when you go to bed tonight!"
Li Yan curiously opened the red envelope and took a look. Wow, it looked like small silver coins worth one or two taels each. Her grandma was being generous for once!
The eldest aunt looked at the red envelope that her mother-in-law had given the child and was very happy. She thought, "Look, what a good birth! She has three children at once!" Then she glanced at the only one given to the second daughter by her second brother's wife. Liu's back straightened instantly.
After clearing the dishes, the group returned to the next room.
It was still early at this time, and the family sat around the charcoal brazier, chatting and chatting until the early morning when firecrackers were heard outside. Only then did Li Yan get up and go back to the house to sleep.
The next morning, Lin woke Li Yan up and said, "Didn't you tell me yesterday what to prepare for the children in the village today? Get up and prepare! The children will be here soon!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yan suddenly jumped up from the bed. That day, Li Yan had promised to make candied haws for the children in the village. Later, a series of things happened in the village, so she put the plan on hold. Now there were no mountain sorrel in the mountains, so Li Yan went to the city to buy some apples and oranges, and prepared to string them on small skewers, coat them with syrup and give them to the children who came to pay New Year's greetings.
After Li Yan washed up quickly, she started to prepare food. Li Xiaomei and Lin stood by and watched Li Yan busying herself. They also understood what she was doing and joined in the work.
Strength lies in numbers, and in a short while, forty or fifty skewers of snacks coated with syrup were made.
Coincidentally, just as Li Yan finished her work, a group of children came to the door of Li Yan's house and poked their heads into the yard!
Lin, who was standing in the main room, saw a group of little kids standing at the door with their heads peeking out, and hurriedly invited them in.
The children pushed and shoved each other into the courtyard and greeted the elders in the family politely. At this time, Li Yan took the fruits wrapped in syrup and distributed them one by one. The children happily took the snacks, said thank you shyly, and went to other homes with a smile.
This day is spent visiting each other and wishing a happy new year to the elders.
