Please remember our website address:

Well, since the book was published, several readers have already commented in the book review section or privately about Xiao Wu’s new book, such as "Beautiful Pastoral". Whether it’s the family structure or the plot, Xiao Wu is very good at outline and character design. I read "Xiuse Tianyuan" after everything was finished. The author of "Xiuse Tianyuan" also knew Xiao Wu and had read Xiao Wu's books. We would discuss the plot in private, but she never said anything about Xiao Wu's books. Portrait of her old book.

Every book is the author's child, and a lot of thought and conception goes into the plot and characters, so it's really sad to see something like this.

No matter what the atmosphere is at home, the New Year's Eve Chapter 24 (Part 1) still arrives as scheduled, and the children's joy for the New Year overwhelms the solemn atmosphere at home, so the Zhu family, which has been dull for a long time, finally It's starting to feel a bit like the new year.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Bo Rong got up and prepared to go to the Master of Juren to ask for Spring Festival couplets. He Hua insisted on going with him. After a long time, he got what he wanted. As a result, Bo Ning also made a fuss about going, and Bo Rong finally left the house. At that time, I was holding Lotus in one hand and Bonin in the other.

When they reached the place, only Bo Rong and He Hua were left. Bo Ning finally met his playmate and ran away crazy. There were already two or three people in the big room of the school waiting for Master Juren to write couplets. Bo Rong He stepped forward and put down the New Year's gift that Fang had prepared for him, then he saluted and said hello to the Qi Ju people, and answered a few academic questions, and finally said his request for Spring Festival couplets for his family.

He Hua is very curious about the school. She is a girl, so she has no chance to come in. Today is the only day in the year when no one is in charge, so she can come in and have a look.

She looked up and down, left and right, then turned around and saw Qi Jintang standing not far away with a smile. She ran forward and said, "Brother Jintang, happy New Year!"

"Silly girl, I'm thirty today, and I won't be celebrating the New Year until tomorrow!" Qi Jintang said, taking out a piece of paper tied with silk thread from his sleeve, Chapter 24: New Year's Eve (Part 1), and handed it to Lotus. , "Well, this is for you."

Lotus opened the paper roll and saw that inside was a square piece of red paper with the word "福" neatly written on it. There was also another small sheet with a small lotus drawn in ink showing its sharp corners. There was also an inscription next to it. A line of small words "Present to Lotus, December 29, the 34th year of Jiayong, Qi Jintang". This is the first time Hehua knows the era name here. Unfortunately, she has always been a historical idiot and knows nothing about this era name. But this was no problem for her at all. No one would think it was inappropriate for a girl born in a poor family to not know the year of her birth year.

"Is this painting also given to me? My name is written here. It's so beautiful!" He Hua still remembers that Qi Jintang never taught her the word "gift", so she still pretends not to know him. However, after saying this, she feels very entangled in her heart. It can be said that It can be said to be honest or against one's will. For Qi Jintang's age, it is indeed good to be able to draw like this. However, as far as this painting is concerned, it is still a bit terrible. On the contrary, the writing has already begun to show its character, and it is already very good. Somewhat organized.

She rolled the things up and put them close to her body, then pursed her lips and said, "I'll keep them when I get back."

On the way home, Hehua turned around and asked Bo Rong: "Brother, Mom said that she will take the Tongsheng exam in February. Can you pass the exam?"

"Do your best to obey fate." Bo Rong was asked what was on his mind. After saying this, he realized that He Hua might not understand.

He Hua comforted: "Mom said, as long as you work hard, you will be fine. If you fail the exam this time, you will still have a chance!" The ancient imperial examination is different from the modern college entrance examination. There is no age requirement. As long as you want to take the exam, you can do it even if you are seven or eighty years old. Take the exam.

When the two returned home, Mrs. Fang had already cooked the paste and pasted Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the house door and the courtyard door, and posted colorful hanging paper on the lintel. Last year, the two door gods worked hard for a year. He was also replaced by a new one. Several pictures with the word "福" were pasted on the rice jars and cabinets, and window grilles cut by Meizi's skillful hands were pasted on the windows. Zhu Yongxin also hung red lanterns on the tall wooden poles in the courtyard, waiting to be lit at night to watch the New Year's Eve. The bright red color is dotted in the pure white ice and snow, which looks particularly conspicuous and festive.

Mrs. Fang neatly tidied up the house and gave several children new clothes. The conditions at home were not good, so each child had only one new piece of clothes, which were mostly taken apart and remade by Mrs. Fang's skillful hands. Because Bo Rong was going to have a childbirth test in the spring, Fang gritted her teeth and made him a brand new robe. Jasmine's new dress was a pomegranate red pleated skirt, and Lotus's was a light pink jacket. Both of them were made from Fang's clothes when he was young. Bo Ning usually spends the most money on clothes, so he used Bo Rong's old clothes and pants to make them wear-resistant and stain-resistant. As for the clothes that are just over two months old now Shuan Zi, he only got a naive tiger head hat.

The house was all tidied up, and Mrs. Fang herself put on some good clothes that she was usually reluctant to wear, put on two gold-plated silver hairpins, hung up earrings, picked out a ring and put it on her hand, and led a few The children went to the main courtyard.

Thirty-year-olds had one meal each in the morning and afternoon. The meal in the afternoon was a serious New Year's Eve dinner, and they made dumplings to keep watch at night. In the morning, Lao Zhu led the whole family to burn incense and kowtow to the ancestors' memorial tablets. After breakfast, the women in the family began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, which consisted of pork, chicken, fish, eggs, cabbage, leeks, dried eggplant, dried beans, and dried beans. Mushrooms, tofu, tofu skin...all kinds of ingredients are placed on the table and counter in the kitchen.

Mrs. Li was always picky about her work, and she only sat on the kang to choose dried beans, leeks and the like. Mrs. Fang was in the kitchen, chopping pork and packing chickens and fish. Mrs. Liu was sitting on the kang with her back against the quilt, eating melon seeds and watching. Others do the work.

Mrs. Yang helped from the inner and outer rooms. Seeing Mrs. Liu kept talking, and soon half of the melon seeds in a small basket had gone down. She frowned slightly and said, "Ms. Shaoyao, that stuff is hot, so don't eat too much."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu threw the bamboo basket onto the kang and pretended not to notice the many melon seeds that were thrown out. Then she raised her voice and said, "Daddy, I suddenly want to eat frozen pears."

After Zhu Laosan heard this, he quickly went to the yard to dig out the snowdrift where the frozen pears were buried, picked up a small basin and put it on the edge of the kang.

Although it was just frozen pears that Hehua didn't eat very rarely in his previous life, for the children at this time, it was a delicacy that they could only look forward to once a year. When Hehua saw Bonin looking at the pot on the edge of the kang with greed, he became very excited. Fang Fang went up to grab the pears.

Mrs. Liu shouted: "Lotus, what are you doing?"

Lotus picked the biggest one and said without raising her head: "Take the pear and eat it!"

"Children, go away!" Ms. Liu said to her.

"You didn't buy them, so why shouldn't you eat them?" He Hua gave her a blank look. Although she didn't want to eat them, she still took six of them, one for each of her four children, and the other two for Zhu Yongxin and Fang. Shi.

Mrs. Liu was very upset after being criticized. When she saw Shaoyao coming to grab the frozen pears, she immediately pointed at Sang and scolded Huai: "Your mother didn't buy these frozen pears, so you still have the nerve to eat them! You little bastard knows how to eat them all day long." , Normally I can’t do anything with my eight poles, but as soon as I see something to eat, that little mouth can do it better than anyone else.”

Hearing this, Jasmine said reluctantly: "What Auntie said is really strange. We haven't separated yet, and everything we eat and drink is bought by grandma. How can eating a pear make you talk so much?" After saying that, he took it. A frozen pear was stuffed into Shaoyao's hand, "Let's go, sister will take you out to play."

"You..." Ms. Liu was so angry that she gasped on the kang, "Nowadays, the rules in the house are becoming more and more unruly. Second sister-in-law, your Jasmine is not easy to control. How can you find her husband's family with such a sharp-tongued mouth in the future?"

Mrs. Fang also heard the quarrel in the kitchen in the kitchen. She didn't want to talk to her at first, but when she heard Mrs. Liu talk about finding her husband's family again, she immediately aroused the anger she had when Mrs. Zhang proposed marriage last time, but it's hard to follow during the Chinese New Year. She quarreled so as not to make Mrs. Yang unhappy again, so she put down the work she was doing, went out and picked up a pot of frozen pears, put it on the table, and said to the children in the room: "Whoever wants to eat, come here and get it. The pot on the kang belongs to the Peony Lady, so don’t go and snatch it away.”

Meizi laughed and chatted outside: "If you want anything to eat, tell your sister-in-law. Don't go and fight with the third sister-in-law to protect your child from a minor illness!"

Mrs. Liu even held her breath after hearing this, holding her stomach and groaning on the kang, and kept saying that she didn't feel well.

Seeing this, Zhu Laosan quickly got on the kang and leaned over, put his hand on her belly and asked, "What's wrong? You don't feel good again? I told you to ask a doctor to take a look and prescribe some anti-fetal medicine for you, but you just didn't listen." , I’ve been feeling uncomfortable for the past three days. Isn’t it wronging my son?”

Mrs. Liu pretended to vomit a few mouthfuls and said pitifully: "I have a bad appetite these days, so I wanted to eat something sour or something. But I just took a few frozen pears and before I could eat them, they were given away." Bare."

"Then I can go get it for you." Zhu Laosan heard that he just wanted to eat frozen pears. Just as he was about to get up and go out to get it, Mrs. Liu grabbed him.

"I don't want to eat frozen pears now. I want to eat the vinegary cabbage made by my second sister-in-law." Mrs. Liu and Zhu Laosan acted coquettishly and pretended to be pitiful. "Sometimes I don't speak well, but I just mean what I say but I don't mean it." , you know me, I have no bad intentions, but my second sister-in-law seems to be angry with me."

"Don't think blindly. My second sister-in-law has always been a very nice person. How could she be angry with you over such a trivial matter?" Zhu Laosan comforted Mrs. Liu in the house and followed Mrs. Fang to the kitchen. It wasn't very big, and it was crowded with several people. He squeezed in again and walked around, either bumping into Mei Zi or Fang.

Meizi stretched out her hand to push him and said, "Third brother, can you go out quickly? I can't even turn around until I see the room."

Zhu Lao San ignored Mei Zi and said with a smile to Fang Shi, "Second sister-in-law, I know that Shaoyao Niang has a bad mouth and always makes people angry when she speaks, but she is not bad-hearted. She has a weird temper recently because she was pregnant with a child. , Sister-in-law, don’t be like her."

"Third brother, do you want the second sister-in-law to open a small stove for the third sister-in-law again?" Meizi rolled her eyes at him and said, "The third sister-in-law is so rare. When the second sister-in-law was pregnant, she didn't work both inside and outside. The third sister-in-law is so busy these days. Grow on the kang."

"I'm not asking you to do it, why do you talk so much nonsense!" Zhu Laosan glared at his sister, then turned around and smiled at Fang Shi, "Second sister-in-law, look..."

Yang also said: "Third brother, please get out quickly and don't push around here. Bo Rong Niang, your sister-in-law has always been such a bad character. She is pregnant now, so you should be more considerate."

When Mrs. Fang saw her mother-in-law speaking, even though she was reluctant, she could only grab a cabbage and said, "I'll do it right away."
