The group came to the home of clan leader Liu Sanye again.
With the marriage certificate in Lu Yunzheng's hand and the indenture in Aunt Niu's hand, Liu Qiaoer and Liu Erniu left the Liu family from then on and had nothing to do with them anymore.
However, Zhang was still Liu Erzhu's wife. Even if Liu Erzhu remarried, she would be his second wife and the son born to her would also be his stepson.
Before her death, Zhang settled her two daughters down and maintained her own dignity with her own death. How pitiful are the parents in the world.
Today is New Year's Eve. Fengxin County is decorated with lights and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.
The small courtyard was also crowded with people. Xia Ying had already prepared the New Year's goods, including chicken and fish. They usually had no shortage of them, and now, with Xia Ying's skillful hands, they fried, stir-fried, stewed and deep-fried them, filling the table.
Liu Erniu did not really go home with Aunt Niu, and remained with Liu Qiaoer.
After returning in the afternoon, the family started making dumplings.
There are several kinds of fillings, including pork, mutton, and egg.
This scene of the family gathering together to make dumplings only happens this year, and the next time the family gets together will be many years later.
Xia Ying rolled out the dumpling wrappers, while Liu Qiaoer and Liu Erniu wrapped them together.
Lu Yunxi also followed Xia Ying to learn how to roll out dumpling wrappers, and even the little Lu Yunyang pestered Liu Qiaoer to teach him how to make dumplings.
Seeing how lively they were, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but wash his hands and leave.
The humble gentleman far away in the kitchen made dumplings quite well. Smart people learn quickly and can learn once taught.
In the evening, Liu Qiaoer took her two children to the prison again and brought dumplings to the Lu family.
Although this year was miserable, after all, the family is still together. Although we can't really get together to stay up all night and eat New Year's Eve dinner, everyone's hearts are united.
After returning from prison, they all came to Lu Yunzheng's kang to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.
Xia Ying took Liu Erniu and the two children to play an ancient card game. Lu Yunzheng leaned on the kang to read a book. Liu Qiaoer had nothing to do so she went into the space to sort out things.
When I entered the storage space and took a look, I was shocked.
Behind the three-story building, there was actually a large piece of land.
Not knowing what was going on, Liu Qiaoer ran to the main control room and found that she seemed to have accidentally activated something.
After clicking on the description, I found that this storage space can be upgraded.
Once the finances for moving in have reached a certain level, the upgrade can be completed.
In addition to building houses, you can also expand the land. The land will also be upgraded with the space and different crops can be grown.
Now that Liu Qiaoer has saved up 10,000 taels of gold, the space has given her ten acres of primary land. The food crops that can be grown on primary land are simple wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other ordinary crops.
Moreover, the production cycle is long, and it takes almost half a year to automatically produce one round.
To shorten the production cycle, another two thousand taels of gold are needed, which can be shortened to three months, and five thousand taels of gold is one month.
The system prompts Liu Qiaoer that she can exchange antiques such as jewelry, calligraphy and paintings for gold.
Liu Qiaoer thought about it and decided that she didn’t need so much food for the time being, so she didn’t exchange it.
Looking at the instructions, the land can also be used to grow fruits, vegetables, common medicinal herbs, etc.
Therefore, Liu Qiaoer made a reasonable plan for the ten acres of land, including grains, fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs.
Suddenly, the system prompted that the butler robot could be sold for two thousand taels of gold.
The robot is in the space, helping her clean, manage the land, and reminding her of tasks to do.
Liu Qiaoer touched her chin. If she had two thousand taels of gold, she would have to sell some jewelry. But she saw that the robot could be a handsome guy, and it had combat power, attack value, and could replenish blood and provide medical treatment.
She decisively sold some jewelry and bought a butler robot that was even more handsome than a certain Daniel Wu.
After entering the program, the robot can work in the space. If there is no electricity, it has the function of automatic charging. Liu Qiaoer gave it a domineering name: Long Batian.
After the space was tidy, Liu Qiaoer felt that the color of the bracelet had become lighter.
It turns out that space can also become invisible, and can be moved at will with thoughts. It’s just because her family was too poor in the past that the space is only that big.
Liu Qiaoer wanted more and more to go out and rob the rich and help the poor.
There are still many wealthy people in Fengxin County. Some of them are kind-hearted, but if those unscrupulous businessmen bring harm to the common people, Liu Qiaoer feels that she can enforce justice on their behalf.
"By the way, didn't the Su family hire a detective from the prefecture, who said that the case could be solved in three days? It's been seven or eight days, is there any progress?"
Lu Yunzheng was reading a book and glanced at Liu Qiaoer indifferently.
"It's almost the New Year, but that person hasn't come. He said he went to Beijing and won't come until after the New Year."
"Go to Beijing? Why would a prefect like him go to Beijing?"
Lu Yunzheng: "It is said that the prefect of Yuzhou was reported by someone."
Ah? The emperor in the capital is seriously ill, and the court is in turmoil. It is much more chaotic than the small Fengxin County.
The ministers, led by the crown prince, frantically found faults in the third prince's faction, while the officials of the third prince's faction also frantically suppressed the crown prince's party.
Liu Qiaoer guessed that it must be the Lu family in Beijing who took action.
"Do you think Lord Lu and his men will be able to get out of prison after the New Year?"
Since Lu Yunzheng has begun to rely on the Lu family, the Lu family must also show some sincerity.
Lu Yunzheng didn't say anything and continued to read the book in his hand, but Liu Qiaoer found that his fingers were constantly rubbing the corner of his clothes.
This was a subtle little gesture Lu Yunzheng made when he was thinking about a problem.
Although Lu Yunzheng is now Gu Mubai's identity, his people know that he is not dead and the scars on his face have almost healed.
In order to avoid being discovered, he always wears a silver mask when he goes out.
Moreover, although his legs were healed, he was still in a wheelchair.
It gives people a very weak feeling.
But at home, he doesn't need to disguise himself. Even without the mask, he still has that handsome face, and his long legs are leaning on Lu Yunxi and Lu Yunyang.
After playing games for two hours, everyone was sleepy. No one was used to staying up late, and everyone was yawning from exhaustion.
Xia Ying dozed off against the head of the kang, Liu Erniu simply took a nap on the small table on the kang, and Lu Yunyang had fallen asleep with his head resting on his brother's legs, covered with a small quilt.
Liu Qiaoer was not sleepy. She had just finished tidying up the space and was still excited.
Lu Yunzheng was not sleepy either. His mind was full of things, and he looked towards the window from time to time, as if he was waiting for some news.
Lu Yunxi was half lying in Liu Qiaoer's arms, and was not asleep either. However, Liu Qiaoer felt wet. She looked down and saw that Lu Yunxi's eyes were red and swollen.
"Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister Qiaoer, when we stayed up all night last year, we were all together. Dad and Mom sat in the warm room, and my second brother and I set off fireworks together. Yang'er was young and didn't dare to hear the sound of firecrackers, so my eldest brother carried him on his shoulders and led him to light the firecrackers."
The family was very happy, but they didn't expect that they would be separated in just one year.
Liu Erniu couldn't sleep either: "Last year on New Year's Eve, Dad bought Mom a hairpin, and Mom was happy for a long time. How come Dad has changed in less than a year?"
Liu Qiaoer thought of herself. During the Chinese New Year last year, she was alone in her house. She didn't get the application to go to the underground city. She was trembling with fear and didn't even dare to turn on the lights, for fear that she would be besieged by aliens and zombies during the Chinese New Year.
