After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

I heard that I am going to pay New Year's greetings to Old Master Ouyang tomorrow morning.

Liu Guang smiled and said, "Fortunately, I wasn't called on. I can just sleep in tomorrow morning."

Although he is very lively, he still has to go to school during the holidays.

Especially when I saw the old master’s unsmiling face.

He thought it would be better to hide at home and sleep.

As for Xiao Miaomiao, when she saw the old master, she was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Jiang Xiaohua made such an arrangement because she understood her child's temperament.

Only Liu Yong was allowed to take Liu Ming to pay New Year greetings.

Liu Yong and Liu Ming both agreed.

Liu Yong said, "Speaking of which, we don't have any other relatives or friends here."

"Apart from Master, there seems to be no other place to visit for New Year greetings."

Liu Guang said casually, "Isn't it the same in the past?"

Several people who spoke in one sentence fell silent.

The three boys remembered their life in the village.

The atmosphere in the village is quite lively during the New Year Festival.

When their parents were there, Liu Yong, Liu Guang, and Liu Ming all followed their parents to visit relatives.

Later, my mother left first, and so did my father.

All relatives have cut off contact with them for fear of getting in trouble with these troublemakers.

So after Jiang Xiaohua passed away, their family never visited relatives again.

Jiang Xiaohua glanced at the three brothers secretly.

She knew all the memories that belonged to Jiang Xiaohua.

Naturally, I understand what these three boys are worried about.

Only Xiao Miaomiao has no memory of this past.

She suddenly stood up.

"I think the capital is the busiest. Listen to the sound of firecrackers being set off outside."

"Miaomiao wants to play too!"

A few words swept away the dull atmosphere.

The three older brothers all laughed.

Liu Yong said, "You haven't eaten yet, you are too impatient."

Liu Guang said with a smile, "Our family also bought a lot of firecrackers, including those who cracked the flowers and those who listened."

"Whatever do you want to see? Second brother will show it to you later!"

Liu Ming was not to be outdone, "There is also Third Brother, who picked all the flowers for you!"

Jiang Xiaohua felt peaceful as she listened to the laughter of her children.

She rolled out the dough and said naturally, "After wrapping the four-color floating balls, go and offer incense sticks to your parents."

"Invite them back for a reunion dinner."

There was silence for a moment.

Liu Yong nodded with red eyes, "Yes! I understand, mother."

After the drumming ended, the sound of cannon fire could still be heard from time to time in the alley outside.

The New Year's Eve dinner for Jiang Xiaohua's family has just begun.

A total of eight dishes, hot and cold, were served first.

Wulong and Hongdoubao were also squatting next to them, with their respective food bowls in front of them.

Because Daqing was too big to enter the house, he had already eaten a dinner of black beans and alfalfa outside in advance.

There is a cup in front of everyone.

Only Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi had wine in their glasses.

In the children's cups is freshly squeezed orange juice from Ginger Flowers.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Mom, you are the head of the family, please say something."

Jiang Xiaohua really never thought about this link.

At this time, everyone looked at her with a smile, and she thought about it and said:

"This is our first New Year's Eve in the capital."

"This is also the first New Year's Eve that we all spend together,"

"A lot of things happened in the past year, and we all experienced them together, so I won't say more."

"Mr. Li, Yong'er, Guang'er, Ming'er, Miao Miao, and Oolong, Hongdoubao, Daqing."

"I'm really happy to meet everyone."

"Let's create more and happier memories together in the future, okay?"

Everyone cheered: "Okay!"

Let's raise a glass and laugh together, and have fun together.

Just after dinner started, Jiang Xiaohua gave each child a lucky gift bag.

She handed the last one to Li Yuanzhi.

Li Yuanzhi was a little surprised, "Me too?"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded with a smile, "Take it, it's a good idea."

Liu Guang held the kit and felt itchy, "Can I open it now and look at it?"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Of course you can. I don't have those rules in my home."

Everyone opened their own bags.

There turned out to be a small silver ingot inside.

One side of the silver ingot is stamped with the mark of the brush, and the other side is stamped with the shape of jade.

Taken from the pen ingot Ruyi's good fortune.

Liu Yong weighed the silver and said, "This piece is almost two taels, right?"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Yong'er's hands are really perfected. They are very accurate. Each piece is one, two or eight."

Just to get this auspicious number, she went to the bank to have it custom-made.

Li Yuanzhi put the silver ingot and the kit back into his sleeve.

"I can't bear to use this, I have to keep it."

After eating Fu Yuanzi, everyone still couldn't bear to go to bed, so they talked and laughed and kept vigil together.

Liu Ming also brought out a chessboard and dominoes to play with.

It was almost midnight, and Xiao Miaomiao leaned against Oolong and took a nap while hugging the red bean bun.

Jiang Xiaohua yawned and said, "Don't stay up, I have to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, so go to bed."

Liu Guang put down the dominoes and smiled provocatively at Liu Ming, "You and eldest brother need to get up early."

"I can just sleep peacefully at home!"

Before he could finish being happy, Jiang Xiaohua said, "Why are you sleeping so late?"

"Although we won't go to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, someone will come to our house to pay New Year's greetings."

"So, no one is allowed to sleep in."

Liu Guang was surprised and disappointed, "Huh?"

Liu Ming laughed proudly, "That's right! Let me show you off!"

Xiao Miaomiao came to her senses and asked, "Mother, is it Aunt Song who wants to come to our house?"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and praised, "My daughter is still the smartest."

She formally told the whole family, "My boss, she has been busy recruiting, selecting, and training people recently."

"It's really hard work."

"So she said she would come to visit her on the first day of the new year, and I agreed and prepared a banquet to entertain her."

"I can't do it alone, I need some help from you."

Jiang Xiaohua has prepared a lot of semi-finished products for the New Year at home, which is actually convenient for entertaining guests.

Liu Yong said, "No problem."

"The third child and I will go to Old Master Ouyang's house to see Fu Yuanzi off, and we will come back immediately after wishing him a happy New Year."

"It will definitely not delay the work at home."

Liu Guang smiled and said, "Then I will sleep until the eldest brother and the third child come back."

"Anyway, it's the same as usual, I'll take care of the dishes."

With all the division of labor in place, the four little cubs stood up, but did not go back to their rooms to sleep immediately.

They stood in front of Jiang Xiaohua, looking at her and smiling.

Xiao Miaomiao was elected as the representative in advance by her brothers.

She presented something wrapped in red cloth with both hands, "This is a New Year's gift from the four of us to my mother!"

Liu Guang added, "But we made it by ourselves, it took a lot of effort, please take a look!"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and took it, a small piece that looked like something wooden.

It doesn't weigh much in the hand.

She couldn't guess what it was and opened the red cloth directly.

Jiang Xiaohua's eyes gradually became filled with surprise.

"This is... a pen?"

Jiang Xiaohua sent the children out with a smile, then turned around and saw Li Yuanzhi still sitting still.

"Mr. Li still not sleeping?"

Li Yuanzhi smiled and said, "You probably don't want to sleep either. I'll chat with you for a while."
