Among the hundreds of workers, more than thirty were girls and young women from the village. Now they happily returned to their hometown with Shen Nanfa's year-end bonus.

Because of the generous monthly silver and year-end bonus, the family members think highly of it.

A workshop was built in the village, which was invested by Shen Nan. It mainly produces the wool they use to weave bags.

The yarn she bought from other workshops was always too thin and could not meet her requirements.

She simply opened a workshop with her own money and asked Aunt Cuihua, Aunt Sufen, and Li Zheng's daughter-in-law Chen Xi to manage it.

In this way, the raw materials for their workshop do not need to be purchased in the city, which saves transportation costs, and can be changed at any time according to her requirements.

Chef Wang also has to go home during the Chinese New Year, and they have to cook their own food.

Fortunately, we eat dumplings, glutinous rice balls and noodles during the Chinese New Year, which is quite simple.

Mrs. Nian led her juniors to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, carefully preparing traditional hometown delicacies.

From glutinous rice to braised pork, to garlic crayfish, stewed chicken soup, stewed pig trotters...there are countless dishes on the table, and the fragrance is fragrant.

The family smelled the delicious food all over the house and felt that such a day was so wonderful.

Song Bo's family also had New Year's Eve dinner at Shen's house. After getting along with each other for a long time, the two families had become very familiar with each other, as if they were one family. Song Hexuan's house was just a few hundred meters north of Shen's house, and the two families were very far apart. It's close, usually just a few minutes' walk away.

Their family bought some maids and servants, all of whom were helpless, so they naturally stayed in the Song Mansion during the New Year. Just when the family was having New Year's Eve dinner happily, Song He came back.

"Song He, what's wrong with you?" Song Hexuan looked at the injured Song He and quickly stepped forward to support him.

"General, Xiyi is coming."

"What?" Song Hexuan's chopsticks fell on the table, and he was caught off guard by the news.

Wei Ci also pursed his lips tightly and subconsciously looked at his wife and children next to him.

Everyone knows what this invasion means. The barbarian invasion is as terrifying as a natural disaster, and they have just settled down. Is it possible that they will experience another disaster?

"Mom, Dad, Aunt, I'll excuse you now." Song Hexuan put down his chopsticks and went elsewhere with a solemn expression.

Although Wei Ci no longer holds an official position, the memory in his bones makes him unable to calm down when he hears about the war.

It was a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner, but everyone was left with a taste of the food.

Honglian Yinyue and the others were sitting in the next room and naturally heard the news.

Although everyone has not experienced war, they suffered a lot while fleeing famine. Compared with the cruelty of natural disasters, war is only a lot more cruel.

Wei Ci ate a few hurriedly and went to find Song Hexuan.

Wei Yi and the others did not receive a summons from their master, so they could only continue eating.

"Auntie, eat quickly. Such delicious pig's trotters should be wasted if you don't eat them." Wei Ba tried his best to smile and put the pig's trotters into Nian's bowl.

The same goes for Uncle Song, who keeps picking up food for his wife. Shen Nan glanced at Xiaoye and lowered his head silently, not knowing what to say.

After dinner, Chunhua and the others went to wash the dishes. Nian was sitting in the main room wrapped in cotton clothes, wondering what she was thinking. Uncle Song sent his wife home, then returned and went to the house to discuss with his son, Wei Ci and the others.

Shen Yue thrust the big treasure into Nian's hand and said comfortingly: "Mom, don't think so much. Even if there is a war, there are tall snow-capped mountains blocking us in the west of Lingzhou, and the barbarians can't get in."

Nian shook her head. I'm afraid it won't be that simple this time. Although she doesn't know military knowledge, she knew the seriousness of the matter from Song He's expression just now. He was also injured, which means that this barbarian must have arrived. Near Lingzhou.

After handing the Dabao to Nian and the Xiaobao to Xu Qi to look after, she pulled Shen Nan into the house.

"Nannan, if we really have to flee at that time, how can we hide those things away from everyone's eyes and ears?"

Shen Nan shook her head. The things in the house were all over the counter. Nowadays, there are so many people in the house that it is inconvenient for her to take supplies from inside, so she bought them from outside during this period.

"Sister, please ask your brother-in-law tonight what the actual situation is. If the Barbarian Army has really attacked, then we must prepare as soon as possible."

"It's not realistic to go to the county town to the east. Let's just go into the mountains and hide."

"You mean this King Mountain?" Shen Yue asked, pointing to the continuous mountains in the distance.

"That's right, I guess the barbarians didn't come through the snow-capped mountains. They should have come from somewhere else. After all, the snow-capped mountains are so high in altitude. If they brought supplies and weapons, it would definitely not be easy for them to come here, so King Mountain should be safe for now. .”

"In other words, if the barbarian army attacks the city, they will definitely not go to the mountains to find a few ordinary people, don't you think? I can't control other people's life and death, you are the only one I care about."

She looked into Shen Yue's eyes, filled with deep worry.

Shen Yue knew her worries, and she was also worried about what to do if Wei Ci insisted on getting involved. With a wife and children on one side and a brother on the other, it’s hard to choose.

"I will tell you the news tomorrow morning. If the news is true, we will go to the city to stock up on supplies."

"Okay, let's go to sleep with the babies." Shen Nan patted her shoulder.

When Shen Yue heard the word "child", she regained her strength. Even for the sake of her child, she had to cheer up. No matter what Wei Ci chose, she would support him.

Originally we were going out to set off firecrackers in the middle of the night, but now that this happened, everyone went to bed early after washing their faces and feet.

At midnight, every household in the village set off firecrackers, and naughty children were playing outside. The village was extremely lively, but the Shen family didn't even turn on the lights.

Early the next morning, Nian went to the kitchen to cook with two huge dark circles under his eyes.

Honglian and the others went to help and cooked several pots of Yuanxiao early in the morning.

I guess everyone didn't sleep well at night, and everyone was feeling depressed. On the other hand, the two little babies, unaware of everyone's worries, kicked up their calves and tried to jump up.

"Come, little grandson, have a taste of Yunxiao." Nian picked up some Yuanxiao and put it to Dabao's mouth, letting him have a taste.

Dabao took a lick and immediately started to babbling and wanted to eat. Nian gave him two spoonfuls of Yuanxiao soup to stop Dabao's mouth.

Xiaobao also tasted Yuanxiao, and the two brothers and sisters waited aside obediently.

"Mom?" Shen Yue originally wanted to ask her mother why she gave her two children so early, but she thought about it and shut her mouth.

"Mom is worried, let's just let them eat meat. It will be easier to feed them in the future." Nian looked at her daughter, her chest feeling tight.

Everyone had different thoughts. They lowered their heads and ate the Yuanxiao in the bowl silently.
