The New Year's Eve dinner is sumptuous, and the meal lasts from noon to afternoon.

Everyone was very happy while eating, but Zhao Hui cried after eating.

Tears were streaming down his face, which shocked Mao Xiaosui and the others.

"What's wrong?" Mao Xiaosui asked him with a smile, "It's so delicious that it makes you cry?"

Zhao Hui wiped away his tears and waved his hands in a panic, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Li Yunshan smiled and said, "Why cry? No matter how hard the days are, they are all over."

Mao Xiaosui felt that he might also be talking about himself. After all, he also suffered from the days when his stepmother beat him and his biological father didn't love him. Later, coupled with Ding Wenxiu's partiality, Li Yunshan had suffered a lot, both physically and mentally, and it was only in the past few years that he got better.

It was still early after dinner, but Zhao Hui had to leave soon.

Mao Xiaosui carried the basket for him, and when he followed Li Yunshan to the backyard to fetch the dog, he whispered, "Give him some money, in case he wants to buy Liu Qingqing something."

Li Yunshan: "He gave me two dollars, and he gave it to me to buy a hair tie for Liu Qingqing, so I bought an extra yellow one. I still gave the money to him."

Mao Xiaosui's focus couldn't help but go astray, and asked him, "Then why don't you know to change the color for us?"

Li Yunshan was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you like green?"

"...I can change it if I like you."

"Then I'll change it next time." Li Yunshan laughed, "I didn't expect it."

Mao Xiaosui was amused by his serious look.

When he took the dog out, he saw Zhao Hui squatting and talking to Li Ruyi and Li Ankang. Li Yunshan gave him the dog and gave him a few instructions before leaving.

Li Ruyi called him, "Cousin, goodbye."

Zhao Hui turned around and waved his hand.

When the person went downhill and walked far away, Mao Xiaosui pulled him back and said, "We don't open the door after dark. We haven't sat and talked together for a long time."

Li Yunshan nodded, "We can just talk as a family."

Mao Xiaosui cleared everything on the table and went to the kitchen to wash the pot.

When he returned to the house, he saw that Li Yunshan had fallen asleep on the kang, and Li Ruyi and Li Ankang also fell asleep leaning on him, one on the left and the other on the right.

Mao Xiaosui stared at him for a while, and was about to go out when Li Yunshan opened his eyes.

He put Li Ruyi and Li Ankang next to the wall, made a place for her, and whispered, "Come up and sleep for a while."

Mao Xiaosui went outside and threw a piece of charcoal into the stove, washed the handle and lay down on it. Neither of them spoke and slept peacefully.

It was a long sleep. When Mao Xiaosui woke up, the room was already dark. Li Yunshan was still asleep. Li Ankang and Li Ruyi were no longer on the kang. From the sound of the noise, they seemed not to be outside. They were probably in the yard. Play in the snow.

Mao Xiaosui got off the kang lightly and opened the door to see the two of them building a lot of snowmen in the yard.

Apart from being a bit messy and ugly, the shape is the same as Mao Xiaosui's pile before.

Cook dumplings in the evening and just cut some meat jelly. Mao Xiaosui was not in a hurry. He went to the latrine and came back, blocked the courtyard door, lit the oil lamp in the room and started playing with it.

Li Ruyi ran into the house, and after a while Li Yunshan's voice rang.

By the time Li Ruyi pulled Li Yunshan out, she had already formed a big snowball.

Mao Xiaosui smiled and called him, "Come and play..."

Li Yunshan also came over and squatted down to play together.

The snow was falling heavily, and finally they built four snowmen. After building them, the village became lively, with the sounds of children playing and shouting and mothers calling to visit.

Li Yunshan hurriedly went to a hut and blocked the courtyard door when he came back.

When he moved the table, took the bowls and chopsticks and sat down to wait for his meal, the courtyard door rang, and Mao Mingzhu was knocking on the door outside.

Mao Xiaosui snorted, "Wang Jin still hasn't paid back the food."

Li Yunshan said "Yeah" and said, "I'll go get it tomorrow."

"Of course I have to." Mao Xiaosui said, "We can't let people like them get advantage in vain."

Dumplings cook quickly, and Mao Xiaosui is made from a mixture of meat and cabbage fillings.

Give Li Yunshan a large plate, her a bowl, Li Ruyi and Li Ankang five each.

During the meal, Mao Mingzhu was still knocking on the door, and Li Ruyi said, "My aunt is still here."

"Don't worry." Mao Xiaosui now has no good impression of the Wang family.

Once that good impression is gone, they will be no different from anyone else in the village.

Li Yunshan had no intention of taking care of it and had already buried himself in eating.

Mao Xiaosui brought over the noon vinegar, dipped a dumpling in it, and asked Li Yunshan, "Would you like to taste it?"

Li Yunshan shook his head.

"Really don't want to try it?"

Li Yunshan still tasted one. This time, his expression after finishing the meal was not as painful as before. He just said, "It's okay." Then he didn't want to touch it anymore.

I really like Li Ankang and Li Ruyi, especially Li Ruyi. Eating very happily.

After finishing the five dumplings, he immediately pushed the plate towards Li Yunshan and said, "More."

Li Yunshan divided some of the food in his bowl out, and Mao Xiaosui cooked some more. By the time she finished eating, several groups of people had come to her house.

Li Yunshan brought the wine over, while Mao Xiaobao cut a plate of aspic and brought over the snacks.

Li Ankang liked playing with cannons more than eating, so Li Ruyi simply moved a stool out and watched Li Ankang fire off cannons while eating snacks.

Mao Xiaosui took the new year's money, and Li Yunshan laughed when he saw it.

When Li Ankang had enough fun, the siblings came in and Mao Xiaosui gave them the money bag and said, "This is the New Year's money given to you by my father and I. You can keep it yourself and decide what you want to buy in the future."

Li Ruyi and Li Ankang have never touched money, but they can't resist the excitement of having money to buy delicious food.

Li Ruyi hugged her happily and shouted, "Mother is so kind."

Li Yunshan coughed slightly and asked in disgust, "Am I not good?"

"Okay." Li Ankang replied very loudly.

Li Yunshan was amused.

After setting off the cannons, the two children also stopped, and then they got down to business.

Li Yunshan asked her, "Now that the breeding farm is ready, what are the next steps?"

Mao Xiaosui: "The first half of the year is not busy, but the second half of the year should be more busy. There is not much that Pingshun can do at the moment. Killing rabbits is difficult for the three of you alone."

Li Yunshan nodded, "So we still have to hire people."

"Just buy it. What you buy will always be more obedient."

Li Yunshan still nodded, "Where is the shop you mentioned? When will it open?"

"It's fine in the second half of the year, don't worry." She asked Li Yunshan, "What are your plans for the land at home?"

"We will plant it this year, and we will see the situation next year. If the business is good, we will rent it out. We will move to the county and then we can go to school Ankang. You still have to take care of the business."

Mao Xiaosui had thought about it before, so he expressed his thoughts, "We will continue as usual in the first half of the year, spring planting... just hire people. You and Zhao Hui will take the male rabbits over and kill them, and first use them in the second half of the year." The money is ready."

"When we buy people in the second half of the year, we will open a shop. Then we will have to find someone who can read... By the way." Mao Xiaosui asked, "When we open a shop in the future, we will have to go to the Yamen to do business. We should register, right?" "

“The land has been registered, we’ll talk about the shop later.”

Mao Xiaosui was relieved and continued, "The work will have to be divided when the time comes. Ding Pingshun is too young to be able to control others, so let Zhao Hui be responsible for the management of the farm... Then I will come up with rules and regulations to restrict it, as well as wages." , when the business gets better, we have to give the workers some sweetness..."

Li Yunshan had no objection, "We will move the rabbits there after the Chinese New Year. There is a lot of room for mules, so we will keep them there for the time being. As for the land...whose family do you want to get it?"

"There are only a few families in the village who don't celebrate the festival with us. So far, I think Liuye's family and Qi's family are good people, judging from the few times they bought firewood."

"Let's ask then." She asked again, "What should we plant this year?"

"Grow wheat as much as possible." Li Yunshan said, "I will drop by Ding's house on the third day of the year to ask if there is any manure, and I will bring it over first."

"Okay." She nodded in agreement.
