joy town gl

After the twelfth lunar month and the cold winter, on the eve of the New Year's Eve, all the large and small shops and streets in Huanxi Town were closed, but the whole town was busier than any other time of the year.The Huanxi Inn is no exception. The shopkeeper Hong started to arrange for the purchase of New Year's goods half a month in advance. On New Year's Eve, everyone in the inn started to get busy with their own work for the New Year from early in the morning.If you want to say that the happiest and carefree person is none other than Xiaoqinger, who is squatting at the door of the inn and playing with Xie Jialinger with a small whip.

"Ling'er is quick, here's the incense." Qing'er took out a stick of incense from the confession case and gave Linger a piece.

"Qing'er, come here, I'm a little scared." Ling'er's little meat trembled a few times, and finally shrank back to Qing'er.

"Hey, coward."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Ling'er covered her superior's mouth with her slender hand, "Mother won't let the Chinese New Year say that word." Qing'er blinked her big watery eyes and nodded: "A timid cat?"

"Humph!"

"Brother Qi, is the incense case ready?"

"Okay, okay, the tribute incense candles are ready."

"When it's cold, where did you put the firecrackers I asked you to buy?"

"I put it in the back kitchen."

"Hey you unlucky boy, set off the firecrackers in the kitchen, are you going to blow up the inn?"

"Bang!" Hong Xi'er had just finished blowing up the inn with her front foot, when a firecracker sounded from her back foot, and several people in the hall were startled.Tang Yi was serving calligraphy for Yuan Yi's inkstone ink, when he heard the sound, he put down the scroll in his hand, went outside and picked up the two terrified little dolls one by one. "Xiao Qinger, are you being naughty again?"

"Hey, little uncle."

"Where did the firecrackers come from?"

"There are so many in the kitchen, I just took two." Qing'er took out another one from her clothes while talking.As soon as Lu Tang was amused by her, he put the two milk dolls on the stool, touched their little buns, "You two obediently watch Auntie write, especially you Xiaoqinger, you will go to school in the spring of next year. "

Qing'er pouted, and moved closer to Linger, "I want to go with Linger, Linger, are you going?"

Ling'er shook her head timidly, Qing'er quit, "Then I won't go either!"

"I heard you yelling not to go to school before I entered the door, what's wrong?" Yang Xiyun walked from the outside with her slightly protruding belly, and Hong Mingzhao carefully supported her. "Ling'er is one year younger than you, and will only be able to enter the school next year."

The pursed mouth was slowly retracted, and Qing'er was lying on the table, weak and afraid to make a sound.Seeing that she looked scared, Ling'er didn't understand what happened suddenly, but she still went to hug her, "Don't be afraid, I told my mother, go to school early."

"Yeah!" Nodding vigorously, the appearance of the two little dolls huddled together by the table was somewhat sad and happy.

Finishing the last line of the second line, Yuan Yi looked at the two little babies and thought they were cute, smiled and touched their heads, and said to Tang: "Hold criticism."

"I'm coming."

After re-weighting the paper and writing the last four big characters, Hong Xier and Wang Qi came over one after another.

"Happiness springs up in a clear spring, and the wine is fragrant and mellow, attracting distinguished guests from afar;"

"The family style lives in a blessed place, and the delicious dishes welcome guests from nearby places."

Hong Xier recited aloud, then clapped her hands and applauded: "That's it! Qiniang wrote it well, that's what it means!"

Yuan Yi put down her pen and looked at the Spring Festival couplets. This was the first time she wrote this kind of New Year couplets for ordinary people. "This is what Tang Yi thought, and I just wrote it."

Lu Tangyi: "Don't be polite, you gave Run the rhyme."

Shopkeeper Hong was quite satisfied, and immediately called out: "Brother Qi, move the ladder, and go out with Tang Yi to make a match."

"Okay!" Wang Qi echoed, just happened to come down from Mocheng, and immediately waved, "No ladder, I'll do it."

Mocheng's light kungfu is very good, Wang Qi just smeared the rice paste on his side, the master on the back foot flew lightly, and the couplet was pasted on the doorpost of the inn.

"The character Qiniang is strong and chivalrous. It's a good style of writing." Hong's brother and sister-in-law only thought that Yuan Yi and Mocheng were knights in the Jianghu sect, so they wandered around in the Jianghu.

Yuan Yi clasped his fists together: "Brother Hong is too much."

Hong Xi'er looked at the couplet with satisfaction, and when she saw Yang Xiyun coming out, she quickly stepped forward to hold her, "Come into the house, sister-in-law, you are a healthy person now, it's cold outside."

"It's so delicate. This child is much more worry-free than when she was pregnant with Qing'er. To be honest, I think she is a daughter."

"Hi, daughter." Hong Xi'er helped her to the seat, "Didn't Qing'er always ask for a younger sister to play with her? A daughter is like a padded jacket."

Yang Xiyun smiled when she heard the words, feeling at ease after hearing these words.Hong Mingzhao was the only male in the Hong family, and it would be an unreasonable thing for a son to continue his incense in other people's homes. It was rare for his sister-in-law to be so kind and sensible.

"I have Ling'er, mother, give birth to a younger brother." Qing'er was usually silent, but this time she answered quickly.

"Co-authoring and being a mother must be reborn according to your will?"

Hong Xi'er hugged the little guy into her arms, "Why does Ling'er want a younger brother?"

"If it's my younger sister, I have to take her with me, and bother Ling'er and me. Hello brother, I can play by myself."

Yang Xiyun almost laughed angrily at her, "You little white-eyed wolf."

The people present were all amused by Xiaoqinger's childish words. At this time, the master Xie next door came to take Linger home. Before leaving, the two villains still reluctantly agreed to see each other tomorrow.

Yang Xiyun: "It's a pity that both of them are girls, otherwise I will book you and Ling'er a baby kiss."

"Okay!" Qing'er's eyes widened when she heard that, "Will I be able to stay with Linger every day if the baby makes an appointment?"

"Little guy, don't you stay together every day now?"

Lu Tang looked at Xiao Qing'er and then at Hong Xi'er, saying that nieces look like aunts and nephews like uncles, this Qing'er looks more and more like Xi'er, hiss~ I don't know if this character is also...

"Dinner is ready!" With a yell from the back hall, Tang Chong turned around the door curtain and came into the room with a large tray, "The New Year's Eve dinner is ready, come, come, serve the food and let's go!"

"Come on!" Lu Tang moved the fastest, and ran to the kitchen. It was the first time for her to celebrate the New Year in ancient times, so she had to try the Li Dynasty New Year's Eve dinner.

When chicken, duck, fish, drunk crabs, rice cakes, rice dumplings, and all kinds of traditional delicacies were placed on the table, Qing'er climbed onto the stool and looked at the delicious food, and murmured: "I really like Chinese New Year! " Lu Tangyi sat next to her, also staring at a large table of delicious food, "Me too." One big and one small looked at each other, Qing'er pointed to the nearest Tanggua ball, "Little uncle, can I go first Do you want some candy?"

Lu Tang looked around. Everyone was busy and no one noticed them. He took a small plate of sugar balls, and each of them said, "Eat it, don't let your little aunt see it."

"Then what if little aunt has already seen it?" Qing'er held the sugar ball and licked it lightly, but didn't dare to make any more movements.

As soon as Lu Tang turned her head slowly, Hong Xi'er was standing behind her holding two jars of wine.Just squatting down to get a drink, both the big and the small can do tricks. "Qing'er recently changed her teeth, so she can't eat candy." Xiao Qing'er immediately wrinkled her face, looking at her little uncle who couldn't speak for her, she was about to cry, Hong Xi'er hurriedly said: "But today's Chinese New Year, only I can eat one."

"Little aunt is the best!"

Lu Tang also held a candy ball in one hand, and when he saw Hong Xier approaching, he stretched out his hand, "Miss, do you want to eat?"

Hong Xier put the wine jar on the table, "Have you washed your hands?"

"Eh?" As soon as Lu Tang was dragged to the backyard to wash his hands, before reaching into the sink, Lu Tang was hit on the face.Of course, it wasn't a slap in the mouth.Shopkeeper Hong licked his lips, and thrust her hand into the water basin, "You're so old, you still steal candy like Qinger."

"You kissed me secretly!" Lu Tang smiled, and moved to her side, "You are, miss me?"

Shopkeeper Hong blushed pretty, and stretched out his hand to smack her face with water, "I forgot, you and Qing'er are about the same age."

Lu Tang cleared his throat, "It's a lot worse." It's all Yuan Yi's fault. He told Xi'er that he didn't tell her her birthday, and that he was directly questioned when Chudong celebrated her birthday. Right off the bat.When Hong Xier first found out that Lu Tangyi was only fifteen, she was as shocked as knowing that she fell in love with Lu Tangyi.

What is the concept of fifteen?Although it was old enough to discuss marriage, shopkeeper Hong was still irritated by changing from a female junior to a female senior.She said, how come Lu Tangyi's height has changed every day recently, and even his body has become more and more charming... Cough cough.She thought it was her fault, but she didn't expect it.

"I'm sixteen this year." After washing his hands, Lu Tang deliberately shook them in front of Hong Xi'er, took a towel and wiped his fingers one by one.Hong Xier swallowed her saliva when she saw the man's apparently nothing special but inexplicably distracting movements, she was only sixteen, who did she learn this from!

"Tonight I will watch the New Year's Eve."

"Oh, so what?"

"So." Hong Xi'er said, and raised her hand to the ear, "Stop doing these little tricks, and watch the New Year with me in peace today!"

"Ouch! You were the one who kissed me first, so the state officials are the only ones allowed to set fire!" The two fought all the way into the lobby, and Yu Han was about to knock on the table when he saw the two heads rubbing against each other: "Oh my God!" Madam, what did you guys do? Hungry, I fainted from hunger."

"I'm coming."

The biggest round table of Huanxi Inn was placed in the center of the lobby, and everyone sat around one by one without distinction. Hong Xier sat next to Lu Tangyi with Qinger in his arms, and on the other side was his elder brother and sister-in-law.On Lu Tang's left was Yuan Yi's master and apprentice, and Wang Qiling was next to Chu Han Shi, and then Tang Chong and Lan Yu'er. The big table was full of people.

"Our inn has not had such a lively New Year's Eve for many years." Hong Xi'er said, pouring wine for the elder brother who was nearby, and everyone poured wine into their glasses.

"Brother, tell me a few words."

Hong Mingzhao raised his glass, "San Niang, you should tell me, our family is grateful for having you. Seeing that everyone in the family is safe and healthy, I am content."

"Brother." Seeing that the brother and sister were about to get sad again, Yang Xiyun toasted quickly, "I'll replace the wine with tea, Brother Tang, hurry up, let your wife say a few words."

Lu Tang was emotionally distressed as well. It was the first time for her to celebrate the New Year with her family at such a young age. There were still so many people together, with lovers, relatives and friends. Now she deeply felt what happiness meant.

"Daughter-in-law, sister-in-law wants you to say a few words."

"Pfft!" Tang Chong couldn't help laughing out loud, "Tang Yi, you bastard." Everyone at the table laughed, and Lan Yu'er nodded her head, "You." Lu Tang glared at Tang Chong was not angry, and obediently sat beside Hong Xier, waiting for his wife to start the banquet.

"I've experienced so much this year, I don't know where to start." Hong Xier took a deep breath, raised her wine glass, and everyone followed suit. "Then let me make a long story short. I am the happiest that my eldest brother, sister-in-law and our little Qinger can go home this year. I also met Qiniang, little Tang Yuer and Master Mo. Our family is safe and sound. Ji, no matter what the ups and downs, we will get through it together, and it will get better and better. I hope that next year, next year, and every year, we can always live happily, safely and happily!"

"cheers!"

Everyone was called by name, but Xiao Lu was not mentioned, "Daughter-in-law, what about me?"

Hong Xi'er drank the wine in the glass and motioned for Lu Tang to drink it too, but Xiao Lu pouted and finished the drink obediently.

"Happy New Year's Eve, let's start the New Year's Eve dinner." Shopkeeper Hong made a sound, and everyone shouted and moved their chopsticks.She poured wine for Tang Yi and herself again, "A Tang, getting to know you and marrying you is the happiest thing in my life."

Although everyone put their chopsticks into the dishes, they all stared at the young couple. After Hong Xi'er finished speaking, Tang Chong and Wang Qi started booing "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"Lu Tang didn't expect that she would say such a thing in front of the big guys, so he raised his glass and touched them lightly, "I will be lucky in my life to marry you."

Lan Yu'er looked at the two, envious and moved, and then looked at Tang Chong, who was watching the excitement with a silly grin, and sighed silently.They are all women, and they have promised to love each other for a hundred years, and they have made an appointment in the same boat through thick and thin, but my family still seems to be uncivilized.

"Yu'er, eat this." Tang Chong drank and ate meat, and he didn't forget to peel the drunk crab. "Sister Yu's cooking is very delicious, and the taste is the same as your favorite."

Looking at the neatly peeled crabs in front of her, Lan Yu'er suddenly felt that maybe stupid people have stupid blessings, and it's not like she can't enjoy this stupid blessing.

Yuan Yi offered a toast to Mocheng, "Master, I respect you."

When Mocheng clinked glasses with her, both the master and the apprentice had the character of not needing to talk too much, after drinking a glass of wine, thousands of words were naturally understood in their hearts.

"Woo!" Xiao Qing'er was eating dumplings when she suddenly covered her baby teeth, "Auntie, Daddy."

"Ah! Xiao Qing'er is eating wishful money!" Yu Lingchu clapped her hands, "I put six in total, six or six are smooth."

"Little Qing'er is the first to eat Ruyi money, and she will study hard in school next year, and she will have a great future." Before Lu Tang finished speaking, Yuan Yi suddenly covered his mouth and spit out a copper coin from his mouth.It was also the first time she knew about this custom among the people, and she almost broke her teeth when she was not prepared.

"Qiniang is eating too! Good luck!"

Yu Hanshi lay down on the dumpling plate and ate another seven or eight in a row, Wang Qi nodded his head, "Don't eat it, if you eat another plate, it will go down in your stomach."

"Strange, why can't I eat?"

"Here it is!" Tang Chong took out the third coin from his mouth, and showed it to Lan Yu'er happily, "Yu'er, Yu'er, this is the first time I have eaten wishful money."

Now everyone started to work hard on the dumplings, and after Yang Xiyun ate the wishful money, Yuan Yi actually got another one.Yu Hanshi looked at Yuan Yi, and almost got up to change places, "Sister Yuan, let's change the dumpling plate." Yuan Yi handed the dumpling plate in front of Han Shi, and Yu Hanshi rubbed his hands, preparing to take this last dumpling plate. After each piece of Ruyi money was eaten, Tang patted the table one by one, "Ruyi money! Here it is!"

The last wishful coin appeared, and Han Shi tilted his body, "Sister! Why don't you pack ten or twenty!"

"Tomorrow, I will wash a basket of copper wallet dumplings for you alone." Yu Lingchu smiled and patted his younger brother, and Wang Qi poured wine into the glass for him, "Come here, young man, let's go."

As soon as Lu Tang wiped the copper coin, he handed it to Hong Xi'er, "Sister Yu said good luck, it's the first time I've eaten this, and I'll give it to you."

Hong Xi'er was about to say that she had soiled her new clothes again, but when she saw that she was looking at her sincerely with big eyes, her heart softened, and she touched Tang Yi's temples with her hands.How long have you been married, how come the more you look the cuter.

Hong Xi'er kept the wishful money that Lu Tangyi gave her on this side, and Xiao Lu also received one on the other side.Yuan Yi wiped the Ruyi coin he had eaten with a silk handkerchief, and pushed it to her table, "Good luck."

"Oh!" Lu Tang was happy, and leaned over and whispered, "Yuan Yi, you are the best."

"Isn't Sanniang the best?"

"Hey, older sister is better than older sister, and daughter-in-law is better than daughter-in-law. It's different." Xiao Lu happily put away the copper coins, and did not forget to wink at Shopkeeper Hong, "We have both."

Yuan Yi smiled and shook his head, seeing Tang Yi living such a happy life now, he felt at ease.Fortunately, she did not live in the shadow of hatred and tyranny.

"Crackling, crackling!" The sound of firecrackers sounded outside, followed by the sound of "swish" fireworks.

"Ah! It's fireworks!" After Hong Xi'er finished speaking, Lu Tang stood up alone, and pulled Yuan Yi who was still drinking beside him, "Sister Ruan said that today's county government has prepared for the folks in ten miles and eight towns. Let's forget about the fireworks show."

Everyone rushed to the door, just in time to see the bright red fireworks piercing the night sky, followed by yellow, blue and purple fireworks exploding in the air.

As soon as Lu Tang stopped Hong Xier's shoulder, Hong Mingzhao picked up his little daughter, Yang Xiyun rubbed his stomach and the family looked at each other and smiled.Wang Qi took Yu Lingchu's hand, and Tang Chong also secretly pulled Lan Yu'er's little finger. Yu Hanshi looked around and squeezed between his sister and Wang Qi, um, we are also a family of three.

Yuan Yi watched the fireworks blooming in the sky, and thought of Ruan Shuyue who was setting off the fireworks in his heart, and the corners of his lips slowly rose unconsciously.

Mocheng: "These fireworks are quite beautiful."

Yuan Yi's smile deepened, staring at the bright sky, "Yes, it's so beautiful."
