The meat of a whole sheep, because Qin Yao, a big eater, was here, the family of six did not have any leftover.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, red lanterns were hung up, and everyone lay down on the chairs to digest their food with round bellies, and watch the New Year's Eve.
In the middle of the night, there were various snacks for late night snacks, which made it easy to stay up.
In the second half of the night, Sanlang and Siniang couldn't bear it anymore, so they went back to their room to sleep.
Dalang was in the room practicing the moves Qin Yao had just taught. Erlang and Liu Ji each held a book, both looking hard.
Qin Yao looked at herself holding the soybean plate in her hand, eating fried soybeans while relaxing, and thought seriously for three seconds - should I join them.
Three seconds later, forget it, I have been busy all year and finally have some free time, so I decided to mess it up!
At about three o'clock in the morning, Erlang couldn't bear it and evacuated first.
As for the two children, they had to take them with them because they were simply making a fuss.
He went to the Ding clan to learn and ride horses for children. Old Han Liu was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he asked excitedly:
“Can the Ding clan recruit Da Lang and Erlang?”
Before Liu Ji could say the petty five taels, Qin Yao said seriously: "Fifty taels for one person."
Qin Yao asked: "How many people are going?"
Liu Ji's eyes were sore from reading. He would stop and yawn.
Liu Ji explained: "Dad, isn't Dalang and Erlang going to school in the Ding clan this February? The journey is too far, so my wife wants to buy a pony for the two of them, so that it will be more convenient for them to go to school."
“Yes, my wife and I worked hard and finally got the old lady of the Ding family to agree.”
When the child was one month old, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu discussed that it was a rare happy event in the family for many years and planned to hold a full-moon banquet. Mr. Liu Zhong and Mr. He went to the city to buy things.
Leave Dalang, Qin Yao, and Liu Ji sitting at the table with their eyes wide open.
Liu Ji's short sentence contains a lot of information.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, the village became lively again.
Liu Ji's pupils trembled, good fellow, she really dared to say that!
Unexpectedly, Dalang was so young and stayed up all night that he was still energetic enough to go to the backyard for morning exercises.
Liu Ji was rarely superstitious, so he would pinch himself to stay awake when he dozed off. He finally managed to survive until the light of day appeared on the horizon, and he stood up excitedly, "I will definitely have good luck this year!"
Big families always like to hold these prescriptions in their hands, so as to show their precious value.
“The second brother came back last night and said that you want to see another horse when you go to the city? Don't you have an old yellow horse at home? What more do you need a horse for? It would be great to buy a cow, which can pull a cart and plow the land.”
Fang Ziding's family took it away and had no intention of putting it into production.
When Liu Ji thought about it, he suddenly felt that Qin Yao's one hundred taels was too little.
They made it themselves and used it to do favors, and the benefits they received far exceeded the amount that money could represent.
Liu Zhong was overjoyed and immediately went home to prepare.
Knowing that Liu Ji could not make the decision, Liu Zhong asked Qin Yao directly.
“I'm going to take a nap.” Qin Yao waved her hand, entered her room, and began to fall asleep.
When the four elder brothers saw their parents' reactions, they were so happy that they almost roared.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, before dawn, the two families got up early to prepare.
Qin Yao drank him up and sent him into the house. The young boy reluctantly went back to the house to sleep.
After the New Year, the family of six became visibly rounder. How else can we talk about gaining weight in winter? It would be strange if we can't gain weight just by eating.
Old man Liu wants to change his family's farm tools. There are many styles in the county and the prices are cheaper.
The couple looked at each other: How about bringing both of them?
Anyway, the carriage can't accommodate so many people, so we brought four children with us. It happened that the children were riding in the carriage and the adults were walking. If we set off early, we would be able to get back before dark in the evening. The couple nodded in unison.
Qin Yao and Liu Ji saw Liu Zhong off. When they turned around, they saw Da Lang standing at the door of the hall looking at them eagerly.
Hearing the astronomical figure of one hundred taels, neither Old Man Liu nor Liu Zhong and his son dared to breathe.
Liu Ji immediately stretched out a hand with his fingers spread wide, "Sister-in-law, if you give me this number, I, an uncle, will spare my old face and help my nephew find a place!"
They didn't lie. Mountain deer and hare were quite expensive, not to mention a recipe for soap.
He was surprised and asked: "Five hundred articles?"
Qin Yao thought for a while and agreed, "It just so happens that we also want to add another pony, so let's go together."
He asked a little excitedly: "What kind of effort have you wasted? Please teach me how to teach my eldest brother and sister-in-law. Jinbao is already very old. Third brother, you, as an uncle, must not forget your nephew!"
But the ones that were not kept last year must be kept this year, otherwise it will be unlucky, just like last year, he was simply troubled.
Qiu family was also in confinement, so Liu Zhong came over to ask Qin Yao on the first day if they wanted to go to the city for the market. If they went, they would like to take a ride.
After a simple breakfast, Qin Yao and Liu Ji lit torches and led the carriage to the old house to pick up people.
Qin Yao and his wife nodded together, "Yes!"
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the market arrived, and many people in the village agreed to go to the city.
Luckily the driver was Old Man Liu, not her, otherwise her head would have exploded if she had listened to them making trouble at such a close distance.
Dalang brother and sister, four in pairs, poked their heads out of the window. Jinhua Jinbao took a look and couldn't wait to climb into the carriage. The six children were noisy. Qin Yao just wanted to bring earplugs.
Liu Jizhen couldn't hold it any longer, so he didn't say anything nonsense when he saw this. He closed the doors and windows, buried the charcoal fire with ashes, and checked the bacon smoked on the porch. After doing this, he immediately rushed into the room and fell asleep.
Qin Yao's family had no relatives to leave, so they stayed at home, eating and drinking, and spent the entire New Year.
Contrary to Qin Yao, Old Han Liu liked the liveliness as he got older. He drove the carriage unskilledly and asked Qin Yao and Liu Ji cheerfully:
“What?” The three adults in Laozhai were all surprised.
After encouraging himself, he yawned and looked back, guessing that Qin Yao and Dalang should be in a similar state to himself.
He's family took a breath of cold air, "Fifty taels per person?" She pointed to the carriage, "If Dalang and Erlang are added together, isn't that a hundred taels?"
If Qin Yao doesn't go, Liu Zhong and the others will not take care of their two children.
The whole family slept until noon. When they woke up, the whole village was very quiet. It was so busy at the end of the year, and it seemed that they could have a chance to sleep in. Every household was locked in their own room with cats.
Liu Ji then remembered that he had not had time to tell everyone in the old house about the Ding family, so he nodded and said:
“Me, sister-in-law, Jinbao Jinhua, and dad, three adults and two kids.”
However, even after saying too much, He and others could not imagine that these one hundred taels were just enough. They were so frightened that He never mentioned asking Qin Yao and his wife for help.
In fact, if Mr. Ding was at home, Qin Yao would not scare his sister-in-law like this.
But unfortunately, the old lady from the Ding family disliked her, and she didn't want to go up and ask for trouble.
