The auspiciousness descended from the sky, and the sweet treasure from the farmer was fed by the who

After dinner, everyone started walking home again, and the family walked back to the county government office chatting and laughing.

For three consecutive days, Tianbao and the others accompanied Liu and the others to the theater to watch operas when they had nothing to do. Li Wan did not like watching operas, he liked listening to stories, so the brothers Li Jin and Li Yin took Li Wan to the teahouse.

He ordered some food and listened to the conversation for the whole afternoon. The next day, Li Wan went there early again and became addicted to it.

Liu even laughed at him, "Look at your father, if it were in the past, he would definitely not go to listen to opera or books.

Now I know how to enjoy myself and don’t feel bad about spending money anymore.”

Li Xiaoning laughed and said, "That's because his son and daughter are capable. My uncle has also made a lot of money over the years.

My father and grandfather must have also made money at home, not to mention my aunt.

I wish I had a daughter as amazing as this one."

After Li Xiaoning finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Liu Meihua poked her head and said, "How old are you? You're already thinking about your future children."

"That's just my thought. If I really had a daughter... I would hope that she could be as smart as my aunt, or at least half as smart as her."

Tianbao also laughed and said, "When you have a daughter in the future, I will treat her the same way I treat you."

Li Xiaoning immediately took her arm and said, "Aunt... you are so kind."

"Shameless." Liu Meihua looked at her with amusement.

next day

Li Zhanyu and Li Dachen went to the county school. Li Wan went out for a walk with his two sons when he had nothing to do. Liu and Liu Meihua basked in the sun in the backyard.

After preparing some food, a few women sat there and spent the day chatting and laughing.

This leisurely life lasted until the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, when Qian Xiaoxiao and Liu Meihua began to prepare New Year's goods.

The county school had already been closed for the holidays, and Li Dachen and his companion had nothing to do all day, jumping around, and were forced to do hard labor by the two men.

We asked them to carry all the things we bought throughout the day, and when we finally got home at night, the two of them collapsed completely in their chairs.

"This woman is really scary when she goes shopping," said Li Dachen.

"I don't know why they call the same thing, which is obviously almost the same, flowers and keep buying it. I can't tell the difference." Li Zhanyu complained.

Li Dachen nodded repeatedly, "Who said it wasn't?"

"What are you talking about?" Liu Meihua rolled up her sleeves.

"No...we said...are you going to buy things tomorrow? We have nothing to do anyway, and we can follow you and help you get things." Li Dachen quickly changed his words.

Liu Meihua laughed and said, "You are such a good son and nephew. Let's go shopping tomorrow."

The two looked at each other helplessly.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Tianbao asked people to prepare red paper, writing brushes and ink, and took Li Shubai and his two brothers to the hall.

"You guys come and write the couplets, so you don't need to buy them this year."

Li Yin looked at Li Shubai and said, "Shubai, has your handwriting improved?"

He recalled the year when he was in his hometown. After finally finishing writing the couplets, he had to brave the cold wind to go to the town to buy new ones.

Li Shubai smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's a lot better than before."

Li Zhanyu and Li Dachen love writing couplets the most. After writing them, they would post them outside. Whenever someone came to their house, they would praise them.

The two thought for a while and then started writing. Li Xiaoning whispered, "Second brother, the handwriting of third brother really looks like the real thing."

Tianbao nodded, "Their handwriting is indeed good."

Li Shubai also started to write, and the three brothers finished writing the couplets in a short while. Li Wan kept nodding and praising the three brothers.

Li Jin and Li Yin began to prepare to paste the couplets, while Liu and others helped in the kitchen.

Liu Meihua brought a plate of freshly fried meatballs and said, "Come on...try them and see if they are delicious. This is the stuffing that my sister-in-law and I made."

Li Xiaoning couldn't wait to take two, stuffed one into his mouth and handed the other to Tianbao.

"It tastes very good, mom. Your cooking skills have improved."

Tian Bao nodded and said, "Second sister-in-law, try it yourself. It's really delicious. The taste is neither salty nor bland."

Liu Meihua smiled happily and said, "Let me try it." Then she took one and started eating.

Li Shubai, Li Zhanyu and others ate one after another, praising while eating.

Qian Xiaoxiao also came over with a plate filled with freshly steamed meat buns.

Tianbao and Li Xiaoning each took two and started eating. After a while they brought some food for everyone to try.

I'm full at noon, so there's no need to eat.

The next day, Mei Jing'an came to give them New Year gifts. In addition to Mei Jing'an, many other people also came to give them gifts.

Gifts of all sizes were spread all over the floor. Qian Xiaoxiao and Lan'er were registering them. Liu Meihua came over curiously.

Qian Xiaoxiao taught her how to enter the accounts and register them.

Tianbao and Li Xiaoning took Mei Jing'an to the garden, where the three of them boiled a pot of tea and sat there drinking tea and chatting.

"My elder brother and his wife will be back tomorrow. Do you want to come to my house?" Mei Jing'an asked.

Tianbao thought about it and shook his head. "The New Year is tomorrow. We will go the day after tomorrow and visit your home on New Year's Day to wish you a happy new year."

Mei Jingyan quickly waved her hands and said, "We are here to wish you a happy new year on the first day of the new year. You are the elders, so how can the elders wish us a happy new year first?"

Li Xiaoning laughed out loud, "Then we can go the day after tomorrow, or on the second day of the Chinese New Year, that should be ok, right?"

"Okay, okay, this is fine." Mei Jing'an also laughed.

Mei Jing'an stayed here for lunch before leaving at noon. Li Wanxue learned to play mahjong and taught it to Liu when he came back.

Liu also taught Liu Meihua, and they would sit together and play cards in the afternoon when they had nothing to do.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Wan and their two daughters-in-law played cards for the entire afternoon, while the Li Jin brothers watched from the side, occasionally handing them a cup of tea and some food.

Take care of the four people and make them feel comfortable.

On New Year's Eve, Li Shubai took his two younger brothers to buy a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, preparing to set off fireworks at night.

The whole family hasn’t celebrated the New Year together in the past two years. This year we are finally reunited, so of course we set off some fireworks to celebrate.

In the evening, Qin Wu and her friends prepared a large table of New Year's Eve dinner, and Qian Xiaoxiao and Liu Meihua also cooked two dishes.

Tianbao specifically asked Qin Wu to prepare two tables of identical meals. It was New Year's Eve, and everyone wanted to have fun.

In addition to their family, Yue Xin, Su Liaoyun and others were also at the same table.

"We are finally spending the New Year together again." Li Jin sighed.

"I hope our family can celebrate the New Year together next year." Li Yin continued.

Li Wan picked up the chopsticks and said, "Alright, don't say those sad words on New Year's Day. Let's pick up our chopsticks and eat."

Li Xiaoning, Li Zhanyu and Li Dachen had been waiting for Li Wan to be the first to pick up his chopsticks. As soon as he started eating, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

"This pig head is stewed well and is tasty." Liu praised while eating.

"This is Qin Wu's specialty. If mother likes it, ask her to cook it for you when we get home." Qian Xiaoxiao smiled and picked up some dishes for Liu.

Liu Meihua was eating so much that she almost buried her head in the bowl. While eating, she said to Li Yin, who was sitting next to her, "This is delicious, this is flavorful, this is spicy..."
