Chapter 110 I'm here to wish you a happy new year
After offering sacrifices to their ancestors, the village head clan came with their clansmen to have breakfast. After breakfast, the drum beats sounded again, and opera began to be performed on the big stage of the village school. Villagers from nearby villages came to watch the opera one after another, and Zhangshutou once again welcomed the most lively scene of the year.
The lunch brought the lively atmosphere to a climax. Especially the men, who had worked hard for a year and had their pockets full of copper coins, felt confident. Today they completely let themselves go, guessing numbers and playing games, drinking to their heart's content, shouting loudly, and even singing songs.
If the villagers who came to watch the show did not go home for lunch, they would have lunch. They could take a large bowl prepared by the village and get a bowl of white rice with a spoonful of braised pork and a spoonful of beef stir-fried with celery and green pepper. After the meal, they could also drink a bowl of bone and radish soup. It was so delicious.
It was not until the beginning of the afternoon that the opera performance ended and the crowd in Zhangshutou gradually dispersed. The adults went back to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, but the children did not go back. They took out cleaning tools from the classroom and cleaned the area around Zhangshutou. Their sensibleness was really admirable.
What made Lin Xijin even happier was yet to come. During the New Year’s Eve dinner, when red envelopes were distributed, Lin Xijin distributed red envelopes to everyone as usual, and then it was her turn to receive red envelopes.
Qi Po, Xi Hui, Xi Jia, Xin Feng, Xin Lan, Ye Jin Lin and Chun Tao each gave him a big red envelope. Except for Qi Po's, Lin Xijin felt that the red envelopes were probably filled with silver bills. This was truly a pleasant surprise.
After staying up all night, she returned to her space and opened the red envelopes. Wow, they were bigger than the red envelopes she had given them. Xijia and Xinlan each received 300 taels, and the others also received 100 taels. These children were so sensible that it was heartbreaking.
These people also gave red envelopes to Qi Po and An An. Qi Po was so happy that she kept wiping tears, while An An handed all the red envelopes to Lin Xijin. Lin Xijin's status was lower than that of his elder brother Ye Jinlin.
The atmosphere here was extremely good, but the atmosphere at Lin Guiqi's home was extremely dull. The family did not buy any New Year's goods. They had a New Year's Eve dinner with the New Year's gifts that Lin Xijin asked Xihui and Xijia to send over. After giving a red envelope to his wife, grandson, and granddaughter, Lin Guiqi went back to his room to hide.
The foolish faces of his old wife and son that he had seen in the county prison some time ago flashed before his eyes. They could eat and sleep but their minds were not clear, and even he could not recognize them. Lin Guiqi thought of the bright and lively smiles of Lin Xijin's three siblings, and a wave of frustration surged in his heart. He knew very well that he was sorry for his dead wife and even more sorry for his dead son, so much so that he dared not even send a red envelope to the children.
Jin'er is fifteen years old, Xihui and Xijia are also nine years old, but he has never given them a penny of New Year's money. Now he receives New Year's gifts and retirement money from several children every year, how can he not feel ashamed.
Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, sank into the pillow, and no one could see them anymore.
As usual, the first day of the Lunar New Year begins with the children's joy. Early in the morning, Lin Xijin asked the housekeeper and Ye Jinlin to carry out two large baskets of lucky bags. These lucky bags were not much different from previous years. They were all filled with peanuts, melon seeds, and sugar cakes, but the copper coins were replaced with silver melon seeds and silver peanuts, and they were heavier and more valuable.
The first to arrive were Xingwen, Xingwu, Xingyuan, Xingcheng, and Xiaowen. As soon as they came up, they knelt down to pay their respects to Lin Xijin, which made her feel embarrassed for a while. Lin Xijin asked the nanny to give them red envelopes specially prepared for them, and they accepted them honestly.
But in the blink of an eye, several people took out red envelopes for her at the same time and insisted that she accept it, saying that they were thanking her for sharing the dividends with them. Lin Xijin was only three or two months older than Xingwen, Xingwu, and Xingyuan, and Xingcheng and Xiaowen were even younger. She really didn't want to accept their red envelopes, but in the end she couldn't resist them and had to accept it.
The boys also gave red envelopes to Qi Po and An An, and then they took their own children to visit some elders' homes to wish them a happy new year.
On the first night of the new year, Lin Xijin once again soared into the sky from the back of the mountain and flew straight to the outskirts of Kyoto.
Murong Xu had been sitting on the rooftop for a long time, looking eagerly! But tonight there was no sun or moon, and all he could see was darkness, and he looked in vain.
The flute is at the lips, and the long and melodious sound pours out along with the darkness of the night, telling of the distant longing.
As if he heard the call of a flute, the girl he had been longing for came through the clouds.
"Murong Xu, I'm here to wish you a happy new year!" The girl stood in front of him and said with a smile.
His slender fingers caressed her smiling face, and finally stopped at her dimples, as if he wanted to taste the fermented rice wine inside. Then he put his arms around her slender waist, pressed her into his arms, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.
"Congratulations on your prosperity. Here are the red envelopes! It's time for you to give me a red envelope!" Lin Xijin broke the silence between the two.
"Jin'er, can you be more of a spoiler?" Murong Xu was somewhat helpless. In their previous life, they were the same age, and Jin'er was quite normal. Now that he was a few years older than her, this girl became naive and willful.
But to be honest, Murong Xu quite likes this feeling now. Is this probably because of the male chauvinism? Or maybe it's because he likes to be a slut? He likes to be abused?
"Give it to me quickly!" Lin Xijin stretched out her hand in front of him coquettishly.
"Here you go! I'll pack myself into a red envelope and give it to you!" Murong Xu put his big palm into her small hand.
Finally, he pulled her into his arms again, gave her a princess hug, and with a few leaps, he carried her into the house.
Murong Xu had already prepared food in the room. Perhaps because he was afraid of the cold weather, he prepared hot pot. As soon as he entered the room, he could smell the fragrance of the hot pot soup, which could make people hungry.
"It's so late and you haven't eaten yet?" asked Lin Xijin after finally landing on the ground.
"Waiting for you!" Murong Xu answered with a bit of arrogance.
"Hey, if I don't come tonight, you won't eat?"
"I won't eat it!" Murong Xu said stubbornly.
Lin Xijin was somewhat helpless. Murong Xu was born in the Year of the Dog, so she could only stroke him. She quickly surrendered and started hot pot with him, piling all kinds of meat slices into his bowl. However, she had flown for more than an hour and was a little hungry, so she also ate a lot.
After eating hot pot, the two took a short rest. Lin Xijin put the various gifts prepared by Murong Xu into the space and prepared to return.
The return flight was driven by Murong Xu, who had served in the special forces, so these technical tasks were not difficult for him. Lin Xijin was happy to be free and just accompanied him.
When we got back to Shiziwo Mountain, before we got off the plane, we heard the howling of wolves and tigers. It turned out that a group of wolves and tigers heard the sound of the plane flying and ran up from afar. It can only be said that these animals are really smart.
After feeding the wolves and tigers, they drove these greedy guys away. Before daybreak, the two hurried back home.
When they were having breakfast the next day, the children saw the older brother they had met last time sitting calmly at the dining table. They were unable to react for a moment.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The first to react were Xihui and Xinfeng, who hurried forward to pay their respects.
Murong Xu hurriedly stopped the two and said to the children, "There is no prince here, only Brother Xu. Call me Brother Xu quickly, there are gifts and red envelopes!"
"Brother Xu! Wish you great prosperity!" An An shouted the fastest when he heard that there would be gifts and red envelopes!
"An An, be good!" Murong Xu bought over a fan and immediately gave him gifts and red envelopes.
Xijia and Xinlan saw Anan accept the gifts and red envelopes, looked at Lin Xijin, and seeing that she didn't object, they also stepped forward and shouted: "Brother Xu, congratulations on your prosperity!"
In the end, Xihui and Xinfeng also changed their way of addressing him, calling him "Brother Xu". Murong Xu was naturally satisfied to be recognized by Lin Xijin's family.
Grandma Qi also received the gift prepared by Murong Xu for her. The old woman felt that this was a blessing from God and was moved again.
