Chapter 28
In the morning, everyone started to get busy. The three brothers of the Lin family used paste to paste red couplets and blessings on the gate.

Lin Changlu prepared sacrifices and took a group of children to worship the dead relatives.

After they came back, Silang and Ah Li helped put up window grilles and door gods.

The Lu family's carriage arrived in their yard.

Lu Qingling was not in good health, and came to Lin's house in a carriage for fear of catching a cold when it snowed.

The Lin family hurriedly invited him and Lu Yun to sit in the room.

Mrs. Pei is from the north. Some time ago, when she was free, the three fathers and sons of the Lin family worked out a fire kang. Now that it is snowing, it just comes in handy.

She said to Lu Qingling: "Children, get on the kang quickly, you are not well enough to sit on it to keep warm."

Lu Yun walked around the kang twice curiously.

"Ma'am, this thing in your house is too practical." He turned his head and said to Lu Qingling who climbed onto the kang and sat cross-legged upright: "Young master, why don't we go back and build one too! It won't be cold at night."

Lu Qingling nodded, "It's possible."

Seeing that they like it, Mrs. Pei hurriedly said: "This thing is common in the north, and people in the south probably haven't seen it very often. It is estimated that only our family has it in this village. I will ask your uncle and the others to build it for you in a few days."

"Then I would like to thank you, aunt. When the time comes, we will pay the wages and invite the uncle and the others to go. We can't let you work in vain."

"Hey, what kind of salary do you want? Lili's study will be of great help. We want to repay Zhengchou for not having a chance!"

After Pei finished speaking, she asked Lin Changlu to prepare for the reunion dinner after setting off the firecrackers.

Soon there was the sound of "cracking" firecrackers outside, and the noise in front of every house was loud, and the quiet village suddenly became lively.

Mrs. Pei arranged a table on the kang and a table on the ground.

Both tables were filled with braised fish, stewed chicken, braised meatballs, cold pig ears, sauced knuckles, fried bacon, and two or three vegetables.

These dishes are particularly interesting to Lu Qingling, who has been cooking delicate dishes for a long time, and the atmosphere also makes him feel very warm.

I finally don't have to spend the New Year alone.

When the Lin family was busy preparing for dinner, Lu Qingling asked Lu Yun to bring the wine to the table.

"Uncle Lin, no one in our family drinks alcohol. This jar of wine has been kept at home for a long time. How do you taste it?"

When Lin Changlu heard the wine, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes burst into laughter.

"Come here as soon as you come, what wine do you want, um~ this wine is really fragrant."

That's what he said politely, but he lifted the red seal on the wine jar honestly.

He also glanced at Mrs. Pei, and seeing her expressionless expression, he immediately poured a bowl for Lu Yun with a smile on his face and filled it up for himself.

Lin Darong and Lin Errong were too weak to drink and poured half a bowl.

Ah Li was pulled to sit beside Lu Qingling.

The more Pei sees Lu Qingling now, the more she likes it. It would be great if Ah Li raised a childhood sweetheart husband-in-law since childhood.

After all, as their husband and wife are getting older, they will always think in the long run.

It's just that he is not in good health, which makes Pei a little worried.

"This year, our family not only has more carp, but also two more distinguished guests. This is our family's blessing. I don't know what Wen Zou Zou said. I just wish everyone better year after year."

Lu Yun also picked up the wine bowl, "I also wish everyone peace and happiness."

"Children, eat vegetables quickly. They are all farm meals. Don't hold them back."

The corners of Lu Qingling's mouth turned up slightly at such a young age, her porcelain-white face may have been slightly reddish due to the warmth in the room.

I picked up a piece of braised fish and tasted it, "It's delicious, thank you aunt and uncle for your hospitality."

"Eat as much as you like, don't be shy."

He knew that Ah Li liked to eat chicken legs, so he picked up a big one for her.

Ah Li happily took it and gnawed it.

At this time, singing and dancing were performed at the night banquet of the imperial palace far away in the capital, which was very lively.

Next to the rockery in the Royal Garden.

A woman in a gorgeous palace dress opened her eyes angrily, pointing to a man in a black dress who was kneeling on one knee and said, "It's been a few months, haven't we found any news?"

"Your Majesty, calm down, they are hiding too deeply, and they are very clean at the end. Every time we are about to find them, they will realize that they have run away early."

"Hmph! Useless things, don't make excuses for me, keep checking, I don't believe they can hide for a lifetime."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

After calming down her anger, the woman gently stroked the bun next to her ears with her slender hands before slowly leaving the imperial garden.

……

After the Lin family had dinner, Lu Yun took out a bunch of gifts for the Lin family.

First of all, Ah Li's. Lu Qingling specially prepared a pink dress for her, and a big red cloak with white fox fur around the edge of the hood.

The Lin family opened their mouths in astonishment when they saw it, and couldn't help but praise, "This is too beautiful, our carp must look like the rich lady I saw on the street."

"That's right, it's really pretty, but it should cost a lot of money!"

Mrs. Pei gestured the clothes to Ah Li, the size was just right, this kid really cared.

Lu Qingling looked at Ah Li and said, "As long as Li Li likes it, that's fine."

Ah Li nodded with a smile, and bared her teeth, "Thank you Brother Ling, I like it so much!"

In the back, the three brothers of the Lin family each have a jade pendant, and each of the four brothers has a fine wolf pendant.

Mrs. Pei and an emerald green bracelet, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yan each have a gold hairpin with peach blossoms, and Mrs. Lin has a jade cigarette holder.

Taking out these piles of things really scared the Lin family.

Pei and Lin Changlu waved their hands and said, "No way, no way, this is too precious."

Lu Qingling also got off the kang, and put the bracelet on Pei's wrist, "Ma'am, these are not worth a lot of money, it's all my heart, you are so good to me, it's worth my money."

Mrs. Pei patted Lu Qingling's hand lightly and said, "You are a young child who speaks like a grown-up. It's so rare, so we thank you very much."

Everyone was a little overwhelmed when they received the gift, after all, they had never received such a valuable thing before.

Later, it was Lu Yun who persuaded them not to care, these things are really worthless in their home.

Then they carefully put away the things.

The four boys are also very happy, they are the first few to use wolf hair in the school.

Mrs. Pei saw that Lu Qingling didn't feel uncomfortable staying here, so she simply left them here to eat dumplings at night.

Of course Lu Qingling was willing, and she would stay alone in the dreary room when she went back.

Even listening to them talk here makes me feel at ease.

After eating dumplings in the evening, the snow outside began to fall again. Lu Qingling and Lu Yun went back before it was dark.

Ah Li's family still had to watch the new year, and when the time came, she and Si Lang lay on the kang and fell asleep in a daze.

Several adults were still sitting at the small table chatting and waiting for the time to go to bed.
