"Did your uncle give these to you?"

"Yes."

Liu stared at the contents of the box, which were filled with all kinds of luxurious jewelry, including hairpins, earrings, bracelets, pendants...

She had never seen such beautiful and luxurious jewelry, and she couldn't help but touch it again and again.

"Since it's for you, you should keep it well and wear it when you are older, or keep it in the bottom of your dowry when you get married."

Liu closed the lid reluctantly and gave instructions.

"Mom, please wear them. These jewellery are too old-fashioned."

The light in Liu's eyes when she saw these jewels was hard to ignore.

And what she said was true. These jewellery were obviously made for adults and were not suitable for her age at all.

"What nonsense are you talking about? These are gifts for you. How can I let you wear them? These things are not suitable for your age, but you will grow up and wear them then. Besides, I have my own jewelry."

As Liu spoke, she touched the wooden hairpin in her hair, which was given to her by her husband.

In addition to this, she also had a dowry given to her by her father when she got married, a silver hairpin.

It’s just that it has always been the village chief with nothing to lose.

In Yamada Village, a new piece of jewelry is enough to attract people's attention. A piece of silver jewelry will cause a sensation and attract people's attention.

"Put it away carefully. Even if you want to wear it now, you can't. It's too dangerous."

"I understand, mother."

Lin Shiyu nodded. She didn’t want to wear it in the first place. Besides, she didn’t like dressing up that much. Jewelry was too cumbersome for her and inconvenient in her daily life.

"When your father comes back next time, mom will urge him to read more books. When he has achieved success, it won't be so eye-catching to wear this."

All girls like to be coquettish, and Liu thought that Lin Shiyu should be the same, so she thought about it and comforted her.

"Then you have to urge him on."

Although she doesn't want to wear jewelry, she can wear it against her conscience in order to help her father make progress.

"Okay!" Liu responded with a smile.

At the same time, she was already planning how to prepare more dowry for her daughter. It was said that the dowry for the daughter of a wealthy family would be prepared from the moment she was born.

Their family does not have the conditions for this, but when her husband becomes successful, perhaps he can learn from those families.

Time suddenly came to the end of the year.

When Lin Anru came back from vacation, he and Lin Anji transported several trucks of herbs to the county town.

This is the last batch of herbs to be sold this year. From the moment the money is distributed to everyone, every household begins to prepare New Year's goods.

In addition to the pork distributed when the village slaughters the New Year pig, every household will also slaughter a chicken on New Year's Day, and those who can afford it will also add a fish.

This year the weather has been good and the grain harvest has been abundant. The farmers have been smiling since the autumn harvest.

The villagers in Yamada Village are even better. The harvest from the fields is good and they have extra income, so they prepare especially lavish New Year goods.

Meat, fruits, candy...almost everyone bought a little, even a few extra sheets of red paper for decoration.

Then, Lin Anru, a scholar in the village, would start writing couplets for everyone.

The villagers were illiterate, so they just followed whatever Lin Anru wrote. But Lin Anru was thoughtful and read out each piece he wrote.

Lin Boyu, who was in charge of grinding, looked at his father with envy.

I don't envy his talent, but I envy his income.

Yes, there is a charge for writing couplets.

You have to bring your own paper, and each piece costs two cents.

"Brother, come quickly, mom has steamed the sponge cake!"

As soon as Lin Shiyu called out, Lin Boyu didn't want to stay outside grinding anymore. His body was still in the yard, but his mind was in the kitchen.

"go Go!"

Lin Anru waved his hand and let him go. The New Year was approaching and he didn't have the heart to scold his son for not concentrating on his work, so he just treated it as giving his son a holiday.

Upon hearing this, Lin Boyu moved his feet and went straight to the kitchen without stopping.

In addition to the sponge cakes that Lin Shiyu mentioned, there are also mugwort dumplings, red dumplings, brown sugar rice cakes, mustard dumplings, fried corners...

It made him drool.

In his memory, these things were very delicious.

But when we were still in the old house, there weren’t so many varieties, only one or two, and the quantity wasn’t that large.

Every year he has less to eat, so he thinks about it from the beginning of the year to the end.

"Don't eat those near the stove, they are for worshipping gods and ancestors."

When Liu saw him come in and gave some instructions, she ignored him.

It was the first time for her to prepare New Year’s goods by herself. She was so busy that she had no extra time to take care of the children.

After showing off a few New Year's goods, Lin Boyu slowed down and asked:

"Mom, can we finish all the food if we make so much? Don't let it get smelly."

If it gets smelly, you will get a stomachache. In order to avoid getting a stomachache, you have to throw it away. What a pity!

"Apart from offering food to the gods and ancestors, we keep some for ourselves and give the rest to relatives and friends."

Liu explained.

The two elders of the Lin family, the eldest brother's family, the second brother's family, the sister-in-law's family, the village chief, the head of the neighborhood, and Lin Anru's classmates and friends, etc.

If you count carefully, there may not be enough points.

But if you send it to others, they will also send it to you. If it is not enough, you can sort out the ones you received and send them out.

When he heard that they were going to be given away as a gift, Lin Boyu, who was already a little full, stuffed two more into his mouth.

Lin Shiyu looked at his actions and wanted to persuade him, but in the end she didn't say anything. Instead, she quietly prepared some digestive tea.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, come out quickly, something happened!"

Suddenly, Sun's voice was heard outside, and in a blink of an eye, even Sun's people appeared.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Liu asked hurriedly.

"Hey, the second son's in-laws came to collect the debt. The second son couldn't pay, so he said he would sell Shiyi's lake to pay off the debt. The child overheard it by accident and went to find his parents out of fear.

The parents are not at home, so the child came to find my husband and me. Just now, the Zhang family took Shiyi back, and Anji and Anru ran to stop them. There are many people in the Zhang family, and I am worried, so I came to find you to take a look. "

It was only today that she found out that the second son's house was built with money borrowed from his wife's family.

Liu wiped her hands, told Lin Shiyu to watch the fire at home, and she hurriedly followed Sun out.

"Brother, go find the village chief and tell him that people from my second uncle's family are causing trouble, and ask him to find some people to help."

The New Year's goods are still steaming in the pot, so someone has to stay at home.

Lin Shiyu compared her legs with Lin Boyu's and decisively asked Lin Boyu, who had long legs, to run for help.

The seven brothers from the second uncle's mother's side all look difficult to deal with. Her pen-grabbing father and silly uncle are definitely not enough to handle them all.

Lin Boyu nodded obediently and ran towards the village chief's house with his feet running fast.
