The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 433 New Year’s Plans (2)

With fresh and delicious wine to cheer up, and a table of sumptuous delicacies, the family was extremely satisfied with this New Year's Eve dinner. Even the three beasts were more excited than usual and kept circling the table. Even if people other than Mo Yan offered food to them, they would not refuse.

The New Year's Eve dinner didn't stop until six o'clock in the morning. Everyone was a little stuffed. They walked around the yard several times, stroking their round bellies. They didn't return to the hut until they felt less uncomfortable. They sat next to the warm brazier and started to watch the night. , waiting for the arrival of the New Year.

There were too many people and one brazier was not enough, so two braziers were lit. Li Xiu sat with a few children, listening to their innocent chatter, with a gentle smile on his face. Having experienced such misfortunes and hardships, for her, such simple and ordinary days are the happiest and most cherishable.

Tang Xin peeled the melon seeds leisurely, feeling indescribably satisfied. The time spent at Mo's house was almost beyond what she could have imagined before. Although she was bought by the Mo family and became a slave, she did not feel inferior. They have enough food and clothing every day, just do some simple housework, and don't have to worry about being rattled. Compared to the Tang family, it's just a day and a day!

 There were various snacks on the small table nearby. The family was eating and chatting in a happy atmosphere. Even the Yun Zhao brothers and sisters who were forced to leave home felt full of warmth and happiness.

After roasting for a while, Mo Yan suddenly remembered that he had not prepared any good food for the livestock at home, so he got up and went to the kitchen, scooped out half a bowl of rice from the pottery bowl, added a small spoonful of salt, and poured it all into the kitchen. All the used vegetables were chopped and poured into it. After adding boiling water and stirring, the bucket was carried to the livestock house in the backyard.

Xiao Hei and Da Hong Zao were still chewing hay, while Da Huang, Er Huang and Xiao Huang had already fallen asleep close together. When they heard familiar footsteps coming from the yard, they stood up and both pricked up their ears.

When the door was opened, I smelled the smell of green vegetables mixed with the fragrance of rice, and immediately became excited and impatiently moved towards the owner. Fortunately, these big guys were quite clever and did not rush to grab them. They each guarded the trough waiting to be fed.

Mo Yan put the hurricane lamp on the windowsill, smiled and touched their heads, poured the food into the trough, and took out a lot of fresh vegetables from the space, enough for them to have a full meal.

 The five big guys kissed their master's hand affectionately, and then they started to eat. The sound of their chewing filled the room.

 Looking at the horses and cows with shiny hair and strong limbs, Mo Yan felt full of pride and satisfaction. Not to mention the two big oxen. They were already very healthy when they were bought, but now they are stronger and more powerful. The calf they brought with them has changed even more. They are not much smaller than the adult oxen. They will definitely be used for spring plowing next year.

 The biggest changes are in Xiao Hei and Da Hong Zao. Xiao Hei has completely gotten rid of his past shortness and weakness and has become tall, powerful and exceptionally beautiful. Da Hong Zao has also faded away from aging and scars all over his body, glowing with new vitality. Now even if we take them to the horse store, the clerk at the horse store won't recognize them. However, when we drove a carriage into the city earlier, there were several horse lovers who offered high prices for these two guys. They were very regretful when they were rejected.

 When they had almost eaten, Mo Yan added some hay to their sleeping area, and then went out with a hurricane lantern and a wooden bucket. After walking a few steps, a gust of cold wind hit my face, followed by a heavy weight on my shoulders, and Maomao's proud chirping sounded in my ears.

Since I didn't get a reply last time, Maomao has disappeared. Mo Yan knows where it has gone and is not worried about its safety. She thought it was unlikely to see this arrogant and greedy guy again in the future, but she didn't expect it. It's back!

Looking at the furry paws stretched out in front of her eyes, Mo Yan was a little confused, as if she couldn't believe that she would receive a letter from him! Given his identity and character, shouldn't he be angry when he refuses to reply? Shouldn't we acquiesce to her actions and break off the contact that should not have been there in the first place...

At this moment, Mo Yan's mind seemed to be filled with paste, and she couldn't calmly sort out her thoughts! The furry paws in front of her were stretched out unswervingly. She forced herself not to look at them, but somehow she stretched out her hand.

When his green-white fingertips touched the mailbox, he seemed to be awakened by the cold temperature above. He quickly retracted his hand and brushed away the fur on his shoulder. He didn't even bother to take the barrel and rushed away as if to escape. After returning to the house, he slammed the door shut, shutting out the bone-chilling wind and Maomao following closely behind.

Leaning against the door, Mo Yan closed her eyes, covering her pounding chest, and took a few deep breaths of cold air. Her mind slowly became clearer.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" At this moment, a worried voice suddenly sounded, and Mo Yan opened her eyes suddenly in shock. Seeing something strange about her, Mo Qingze walked quickly. Come over.

It turned out that Mo Qingze heard the door knocking, but no one came in for a long time. He was worried that something had happened, so he came out to take a look. As a result, he saw his daughter leaning against the door as if helplessly, with a very strange look on her face.

When he saw his father, Mo Qingze forced a smile, shook his head and said, "Dad, I'm fine. It's just that when I came in, a mouse ran over my feet and scared me."

When Mo Qingze heard this, he saw that she seemed to be frightened, and he had no doubts, so he said: "It turns out that a mouse has come to the house. This thing is too harmful. I will definitely catch a cat and raise it after the new year." , Don’t let those things harm things at home.”

"Yeah, yeah, I'll take care of him if he says it. It's too cold here, let's go in and warm ourselves by the fire!" Mo Yan nodded casually, worried that she would be seen, so she hugged her father's arm and urged him.

Looking at the hands on his arms, Mo Qingze was a little surprised, and his eyes towards Mo Yan were particularly kind and gentle. This child has changed a lot since leaving Mojiacun. Not only has his temper become more cheerful, but he has also become much closer to his father.

Thinking of this, I looked very happy, and I felt more and more that I was right to settle here and not return to Liuyang Village!
