e stocked with meat and seafood. They have beef, lamb, pork, ribs, spareribs, swordfish, prawns, and more.The other one is filled with frozen noodles, various convenient fried foods, and ice cream, et...Jia Yin saw Dong Mei wave her hand and then hugged her grandmother, saying, "Grandma, you can keep these things. Give them to someone or eat them at home. You decide. I'm going to my godfather's yard for a while."

Having said that, she ran to the next door.

The Lord has been in the city these past few days, and the courtyard is very quiet.

Dong Mei put the ledger and small box in the side room, then went busy with her work.

Left the good sound, opened the box, blinding light, but tears flowed from the corners of my mouth……

If you have the opportunity, be sure to visit Zhengjiazhuang!

This is what kind of fairyland! The benefits in a year are almost as good as the Hot Spring Valley, a whopping four hundred taels of gold!

If they were to combine their skills with her "brilliant ideas," wouldn't that be a formidable partnership, rich enough to rival a nation!

Wow hahaha, I made it rich, I made it rich!

Even though nobody was saying anything good about Jia Yin's joyous celebration in the next room, where she was rolling around on the kang bed with happiness, Li Lao Tai and her family couldn’t stop complaining about the large pile of New Year’s goods.

"Oldest daughter-in-law, with Wenjuan, pickle both the duck eggs and goose eggs. When you go back to Lu'an after the New Year, bring some with you. In case you're short on time for lunch, just boil some porridge for the boys, and each of them will have a salted egg."

Li Laotai chuckled and assigned tasks to her daughter-in-law, saying, "Hongying, we'll share some of the wild boar meat with the villagers later. We'll keep one deer for ourselves, and split the other between the Liu family and the Peng family. We don't need to give any to Mr. Wen and Jinrou; they said they'd be coming to our house for New Year's."

“They would also share some mushrooms with every household in the village. When stewing chicken, adding a handful of mushrooms would make it taste even better. Unfortunately, these two mountains in our Suijintan area don't grow any mushrooms!”

As they were speaking, the Lord and Li Laosi returned from the city.

Seeing that the young girls in the house were all busy tidying up, the Lord chuckled and said, “Are Ye Shan and Dong Mei back”

“Indeed, Lord Hou. Master Zhuang has sent quite a lot of things over there. I wonder if the Zhuang households kept some for themselves After working hard for a whole year, they should have a good New Year.” Li Lao Tai was kindhearted and always felt bad about taking a year's worth of their hard work.

The lord waved his hand, “Don’t worry, aunt. For the past few years, the farm has sent me similar things. They know what they're doing and there's enough for the New Year.”

Having said that, he changed the subject and said, “I have asked the emperor for leave. During the New Year, neither you nor Fu Niu’er need to attend the palace banquet. On the first day of the new year, you don't even need to go to the palace to kowtow. Just stay at home and celebrate the New Year well.”

Indeed, Old Madam Li was even happier. “Really That’s wonderful! It’s not that we don’t respect the Emperor, it’s just that we don’t understand the etiquette and are afraid of making mistakes. After the new year, I will have He Mamama teach us well so that we can learn proper etiquette.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jia Yin heard the news and rushed back from next door. She threw herself into the Marquis's arms and repeatedly asked, "Master, Master, has the New Year's gift been sent to Your Imperial Uncle"

"It's delivered, your great-uncle is very happy." The marquis held the chubby girl on his lap and smiled, "He also said that those good things previously weren't given in vain. You little niece remember him too."

"Then Then what" Jiayin blinked her big eyes, glancing left and right. She couldn't see what good thing her godfather had in his hand, so she sadly drooped her head.

The lord burst into laughter, pulling out a pair of jade ruiyi from his bosom. Each was the size of a palm, milky white all over, except for the peonies carved on the heads of the ruiyi which were a faint red.

The sunlight outside the window streamed through the gaps, illuminating Ruyi's body with a dazzling and breathtaking glow.

"Oh my, is this for me" Jia Yin perked up like a seedling receiving dew.

She held the jade Ruyi, happily jumping and bouncing, which made Li Laotai hold her with one hand while scolding, "Little ancestor, be careful! Don't break such a good thing!"

Jia Yin held a jade ruyi in each hand, like dumbbells. She huffed and puffed, shaking her head and wagging her tail, dancing a chaotic dance before running away.

Needless to say, this went into hiding.

Everyone laughed, but no one said they would take the jade Ruyi back.

Wenjuan saw it with her own eyes and once again had a clear understanding of how much her younger sister-in-law was favored.

The Lord gave her a glance. Seeing envy and curiosity in her eyes, but no jealousy, he felt relieved.

It was the eve of Chinese New Year's Day. Because Lord Hou and Li Lao Er, Mr. Wen, etc., were going to attend a banquet at the palace that night, the Li family's reunion dinner was served at noon.

Having made prior arrangements, the village head and Wu's aunt also joined Li's family for the meal this time, so they arrived early.

Including Mr. Zhao and others, Mr. Chiang brought Gu Li, Mr. Wen brought Wen Hai, Mrs. Cui brought Qiong, and there was also Dr. Zhang and the Li family of four. Altogether, there were almost forty people.

Only Liu Biaotou's family didn't come because they had a big fat boy recently, and the four of them decided to have a reunion at home.

The Li family directly set up four tables for a wine feast. The east room had two tables, where women and children sat, while the west room and the main hall each had a table for the young masters who liked to drink.

Tao Hongying and Jia Huan really went all out, making all their signature dishes, and even some new dishes that haven't been introduced at Xian Kelei before.

Everyone ate to their fill, especially the several old gentlemen who were half-drunk, flushed and beaming with joy.

Looking back on the hard work and busyness of this year, and looking forward to the prospects of the new year, everyone's wine glasses are raised even more frequently.

Considering that the Marquis and others were going to enter the palace, the banquet ended before nightfall, otherwise they might have been drinking until the middle of the night.

The young masters lay down on the big kang and slept soundly, waking up from their hangover.

The women were watching the mischievous boys while they made dumplings and chatted.

Jia Yin ate a lot and couldn't help but feel sleepy. She leaned her head on the kang's head and fell asleep. It seemed like she hadn't slept for long before Grandma woke her up.

On New Year's Eve, they eat dumplings. This is a custom they brought from the north.

While the family preferred meat filling, Jia Yin opted for chives and egg filling. It was particularly delicious on this cold winter night.

Jiāyīn took several bites in one go and felt completely revitalized.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, she tossed and turned, her big eyes wide open like copper bells.

She quietly got up and pressed her ear against the window, listening to the wind and the sound of firecrackers outside. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Another year older, already a five-year-old big kid!

If possible, she would rather never grow up.

You don't have to face the wind, frost, rain, and snow of this world. You don't have to face the scheming and deceit. You don't have to face hypocrisy and pretense.

She just wanted to stay home with her family, be a little ray of sunshine, and live a warm and happy life.

Unfortunately, time doesn't stop for anyone.

When dawn broke, the new year and the new year arrived.

The JIAAN family's several mischievous boys didn't know what their sister was struggling with at all. They had been looking forward to this day for so long, their eyes turned red from anticipation.

Early in the morning, they changed into new clothes and even before their eyes opened, they started greeting the elderly men and uncles by bowing and wishing them a happy New Year. Then, they collected "lucky money".

Jia Yin followed behind, before she could even kneel down she was helped up.

She is a county princess, who would dare to accept her courtesy Besides, everyone wouldn't want her knees to touch the cold ground.

Thus, Jia Yin's pouch swelled again, and she finally broke into a smile.

Unfortunately, when the Lord and Li Laoer returned from the palace, she wilted again! as luck would have it, they don't know when to stop, and they insist on bullying my junior sister again! This gives me a chance to vent my anger at them!"Big brother, I'll leave this to you. I'm goin...
