At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

As soon as everyone packed up the things Long Yue sent, Boss Zheng and others ran back.

Seeing that their expressions were a little unhappy, Mrs. Zhou asked, "What's going on? Didn't they come back?"

It stands to reason that with so many people gone, they should be brought back.

"Don't mention it, it almost made me mad to death. Those bastards from the Li family are really nothing. They beat Chunni until she looked like a human being. The village chief almost fainted when he saw it." Mr. Zheng said angrily.

If the villagers hadn't stopped him, he would have strangled those people to death.

"What? How dare they hit Chunni? You son of a bitch, I should have known that I would have kicked her a few times just now." Father Zheng said through gritted teeth.

He had also watched Chuni's child grow up, and she had been sensible since she was a child. Who would have thought that she would suffer so much after getting married.

"Then what? Where is Chunni?" Meihua asked anxiously.

"The village chief took her home. Fortunately, we were following behind, otherwise she would have been stopped by people from their village." Zheng Laoer said.

In fact, in the countryside, beating wives is very common, but many people are willing to be beaten because "women regard their husbands as their first priority". Even if they are beaten to death, they have never considered leaving.

If Hua Manxing hadn't brought up the matter of divorce today, the village chief probably wouldn't have considered it at all. Even if he was brought back, he would still be sent back after he recovered from his injuries.

Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "Hey! As long as someone brings her back, that's all. I'll take Jin Bao over and let Chuni have a look at her injuries. The Chinese New Year will be tomorrow, so I have to be able to get out of bed no matter what."

"Go ahead, just send that little girl back." Father Zheng said, pointing to Niu Niu who was smiling happily.

Mrs. Zhou nodded and walked to Jinbao, "Niuniu, let's go with grandma? Grandma will take you home."

Niu Niu struggled for a while, then picked her fingers and said, "Sister Jinbao, can you go back with me?"

Zhou smiled, rubbed her soft hair, and said, "Okay, Jinbao will take you home with me."

"Hmm, let's go then!" Niu Niu was very excited when she heard that Jin Bao would also go, and took the initiative to hold her hand.

Although Jin Bao didn't hear their conversation just now, he didn't ask any more questions. He put his little hand into Zhou's and followed her out the door.

The village chief's house was under heavy clouds at the moment, and the children were too frightened to speak out.

Although Chuni was awake, she couldn't move while lying on the bed, and her whole body hurt so much when she moved.

The village chief's wife sat beside the bed and wiped away her tears in distress. No matter how old her daughter was, she had lost her flesh. Now that she was injured like this, how could she not feel distressed.

"Mom, please stop crying, I'm fine." Chunni's face was bruised and purple. Although she breathed in pain, she still smiled and comforted them.

Her parents and brother took her home for the New Year regardless of taboos, and she felt satisfied even though her body hurt.

After all, a married daughter is like water thrown away. It is a custom passed down from generation to generation that she cannot return to her parents' home during the New Year. It is said that this will make her parents' family poor and even make the family's fortune for the year very bad.

Therefore, no married daughter ever returns to her parents’ home to celebrate the New Year.

The village chief didn't care about this statement. She was his daughter even after she got married, so how could she just throw away the water.

He has no control over other people's mouths, and he can say whatever they like, but his daughter is his, and he can hurt her as much as he wants, and no one else can control her.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou walked into the yard with two little dumplings.

I happened to see the village chief's daughter-in-law walking out of the kitchen with a bowl of egg drop soup.

"Aunt Zhou is here, come in and sit down."

Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "Don't worry about me for now. Bring the soup in quickly. Be careful not to burn your hands."

The village chief's daughter-in-law smiled at her, turned around, brought the soup into the house, and placed it on the bedside stool.

"Mom and dad, Aunt Zhou is here, and she brought Jin Bao and Niu Niu with her. I asked why Niu Niu couldn't be found. It turns out she went to Zheng's house to play."

The village chief smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head sheepishly, "Niuniu came with me. Didn't I forget about her because I was in a hurry to pick up your eldest sister."

His mind was completely confused at the time, and he couldn't think of so many things.

Before he could go out to greet him, Mrs. Zhou had already walked in with two female dolls in hand.

"Village chief, I'll bring Jin Bao over to show Chuni."

"I'm really sorry to trouble you. Niu Niu didn't cause trouble." The village chief rubbed Niu Niu's head, his face full of gratitude.

"Don't worry, little girl, you're good." After saying that, Mrs. Zhou led Jinbao to the bed.

Seeing Chuni being beaten like this, she was filled with sadness.

"Okay, stop crying. Let Jinbao show Chunni how she is doing." The village chief ordered.

The village chief's wife nodded, wiped away her tears, stood up and stepped aside.

Jinbao didn't say anything, but obediently sat by the bed and took Chuni's pulse.

After a while, she let go of her little hand and jumped off the bed.

"How are you, Jinbao? Is there any big problem with your Chunni girl's health?" Seeing that she had completed the diagnosis, the village chief immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"Grandpa, village chief, don't worry. Aunt Chunni is fine. It's just a skin injury. She'll be fine with some medicine. But she's relatively weak and has lost both her energy and blood. She'll have to take care of herself in the future." Jinbao said his story diagnostic result.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I really made you worry." The village chief breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"We are all from the same village. You are welcome. Don't delay now. I will take Jinbao back to prescribe some medicine and Xiaowu will send it over later."

"No, no, I'll ask Xing'er to pick it up later! Thank you very much for today, otherwise Chunni would still have to suffer at their house."

The village chief said, taking out a small piece of silver from his sleeve and handing it over.

When Zhou saw the piece of silver, she frowned slightly, took a few steps back, and said reproachfully: "Village Chief, this is your fault. Chunni has become like this, and we should help. How could you?" So out of touch."

"I know your good intentions, but this is money for Jinbao's diagnosis and medicine, so don't refuse." The village chief refused to give in and insisted on giving the money to Jinbao.

"Even if you give me the medical fee, you won't be able to use so much. You'd better put it away first. We'll talk about the medical fee later." Mrs. Zhou didn't give him a chance, picked up Jin Bao and ran out the door.

Just kidding, Chuni has been beaten like this. With the relationship between their two families, how can they still collect medical fees?

After returning, Jin Bao prepared two sets of medicine and brought them out. After Zhou wrapped them up, he asked Xiao Wu to deliver them.

Because of Chuni's incident, everyone was a little worried. They ate a little before lunch and started making dumplings.

The whole family worked together and made the dumplings very quickly, but some of the dumplings were crooked and ugly.

Zhou really couldn't stand it anymore and drove him away with disgust: "Go aside and play, I don't need your help here."

This sentence was exactly what they wanted. After hearing that without their help, a group of boys could run faster than rabbits.

[This chapter is two in one]

The next day, before the rooster crows, the Zheng family all got up.

Today is the Chinese New Year. After breakfast, we have to put up New Year pictures and couplets. The old courtyard and the new courtyard, coupled with the Longzhai and Winery opposite, are quite busy.

Jinbao originally wanted to stay in bed, but after hearing the New Year pictures posted, he jumped up.

Her favorite things are putting up New Year pictures and setting off firecrackers, which you can’t miss.

The Zheng family's door opened early, and Hua Manxing and others rushed over to help.

While eating, Jinbao released all the beasts in the space, except Dahei who stayed inside to sleep.

After all, it is too big and takes up a lot of space when put out, so it can only be left in the space to celebrate the New Year.

After breakfast, Father Zheng moved a table and placed it in the yard, with New Year paintings and paste on it.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Lan were afraid that they would be stepped on below, so they climbed onto the table and did not dare to get down.

"Dad, just leave it to us to put up the New Year pictures. Just rest."

Xiaowu sorted out the New Year pictures and couplets on the table and gave them to other boys to post, which made it much faster.

"Jinbao, do you think we two have grown up?" Little Jin and Xiaolan rolled on the New Year pictures.

That tone sounded like he was planning something.

Jin Bao stretched out his hand to gesture and shook his head, "It hasn't grown up, it's still the same small size."

Little Jin and Xiaolan looked really small, less than half the size of an ordinary mouse.

If they hadn't been with her for so many years, she would have thought they were rat cubs.

After hearing this, Xiao Jin lay there motionless with some disappointment. Xiao Lan also drooped her head and looked weak, as if she had eaten rat poison.

Jin Bao poked their heads curiously and asked, "What's wrong with you? There are a lot of delicious food today!"

The meal at noon today is the most sumptuous, why are you still dejected?

Xiaojin pointed to the word "福" on her head and said coyly, "We want to post that too."

"That's right, you all have stickers on your heads, only the two of us and the little beetle are left." Xiao Lan looked aggrieved.

It turned out to be because of this.

"Then you wait."

Jinbao ran into the house and pulled out Guo Mingyu who was posting pairs.

"What's wrong with Jinbao pulling daddy out?" Guo Mingyu looked at her gently and smiled.

Jinbao pointed at little Jin and Xiaolan, and then pointed at his own head, "They two want to paste the word "Fu" on them. Can daddy make two...no, three small words with "Fu"?"

I almost forgot about the little beetle, so if you want to post it, just post it together.

Guo Mingyu smiled and said, "Okay, daddy will do it for them."

As he spoke, he found a pair of scissors and red paper, cut out three squares a little larger than a fingernail, and then went to Xiao Wu's room and wrote a small word "福" with a brush.

After the writing was dried, I took it out.

"Do you want daddy to help you put it on?" Guo Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw the two little mice looking anxious.

Jin Bao looked at the small blessing character in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He waved his little hand and refused: "Daddy, go ahead and do it. I can put it up myself."

Guo Mingyu nodded with a smile and went back to the room to continue posting pairs.

"Jin Bao, your dad is so kind. His handwriting is so beautiful. I like it." Xiao Jin was so happy that he almost jumped up.

"That's right, such a gentle father, I like him so much." Xiaolan also echoed excitedly.

Jinbao placed the word "福" on the table and carefully applied paste on it.

"Of course my dad is fine. You guys lie down and don't move. I'll help you put the blessing characters on it, otherwise it won't look good if it's crooked."

When Xiao Jin and Xiao Lan heard this, they immediately fell silent and lay together obediently, not daring to move.

Jinbao took out the little golden turtle from his pocket and put it together with the two of them.

Then pick up the paste-coated blessing characters and paste them one by one.

The little gold and blue ones are attached to the top of the head, and the little golden tortoise ones are attached to the back. They are just the right size and look quite festive.

"Hey, these three little things are also labeled with the word "Fu". They look pretty good."

Meihua stood in front of the table and looked at the washed cabbage for a while. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

My niece is cute, and so are the animals she raises.

Xiao Jin was a little carried away by the praise, and he raised his head and wandered around the table.

Although it can't see the words on its head, the ones on Xiao Lan and Little Golden Turtle can be seen.

With golden hair and black blessing characters on red paper, it is definitely the most eye-catching one.

Xiaolan was also very excited and spun around happily.

Only the little golden turtle huddled in its shell, making no movement at all.

It was already half noon when the New Year pictures were put up, and the Zhou family had been busy cooking in the kitchen. The tempting fragrance wafted in the yard, making people drool.

The greedy Jin Bao and Xiao Lin had already run to the kitchen many times, always taking a bite of meat and running away, making a room full of women laugh.

Soon it was time to eat, and Father Zheng set up a fire in the yard.

Although it's cold outside, there are so many of them that they can't fit into one room. While it's not snowing now, it's better to set the table in the yard and sit together to have the New Year's dinner.

So, the Zhou family worked hard all morning, cooking four tables full of dishes, with both meat and vegetables, which made them appetizing.

The two families gathered together, getting along like one family. Seeing the cute children laughing and chatting, everyone sitting there felt extremely satisfied.

"Let's stop talking nonsense and let's eat!"

Father Zheng gave the order and everyone started to use chopsticks.

After a meal, everyone was so full of food that their intestines and stomachs were full.

After cleaning up, we started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. We have to stay up late tonight and no one can go to bed early.

The lunch was too rich and everyone was not very hungry, so in the evening, the New Year’s Eve dinner became leftovers and dumplings at noon.

Finally, when night fell, Jinbao took out a few night-light pearls from the space and placed them in the main room. They looked much brighter than candles.

All the Zheng family and Taifu Guo's family gathered in the main room to watch the New Year's Eve and chat.

This time, the boys got what they wanted and began to pester Zheng Gensheng to tell them what happened on the battlefield.

One person spoke vividly, and the group listened attentively, letting out sighs from time to time.

Even Xiaobai and the others lay quietly on the ground and listened carefully.

In the middle of the night, snowflakes began to fall outside the house again, and there were bursts of laughter and laughter in the house. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they never stopped.

Jinbao was nestled in grandma's arms for a while, and sat on daddy's lap for a while... He was not partial at all, getting close to each other and acting coquettishly.

Until finally I couldn't stand the sleepiness anymore, so I fell asleep in Wan Niang's arms.
