Chapter 196
Most of the people in Zhangjia Village are very nice. She did this just to repay one or two, and also to plan for the future. Once Thirteen Fragrances come out, their family will definitely be more prosperous. If someone is jealous, she will have to spend energy Go handle it!
If she can unite with the entire Zhang family village as a monolith, she won't have to worry about being tricked at any time!

Grandma Zhang looked at her granddaughter excitedly. She didn't expect her granddaughter to think about the people in the village. Few people can match her kindness, and she won't have any opinions!
Seeing that tomorrow is New Year's Eve, Lin Zhaoyuan has not come back yet, Zhang Xiaocao asked Mu Hua, but he didn't know, since he returned to the city, he had not seen him once.

Zhang Xiaocao had doubts in her heart, but there was nothing she could do, she couldn't go to Lizheng's house and ask why your grandson hasn't come back yet!
New Year's Eve is coming soon, the grandparents and grandson got up early as usual, lit a long string of firecrackers when it was dark outside, and ate the most sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner ever amidst laughter!

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Grandma Zhang led her grandchildren to make dumplings in high spirits. Grandma Zhang was in charge of kneading the dough. Mu Hua chopped the stuffing. Zhang Xiaocao watched from the side. When the dough was ready, she rolled the dough with a rolling pin. !
Dumplings are generally made before the clock turns on the evening of New Year's Eve, and eaten at midnight, which is the beginning of the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Shi", which is homonymous with "dumpling", has the meaning of "festive reunion" and "good luck".

There are many legends about eating dumplings during the New Year. One is to commemorate the creation of the world by Pangu and the end of the mixed state, and the other is to take the homonym of "Huntun", which means "full of food".

Dumplings have become an indispensable food during the Spring Festival. The reasons are as follows: First, dumplings are shaped like ingots.People eat dumplings during the Spring Festival, which means "to attract wealth and treasure". Second, the dumplings have stuffing, which is convenient for people to wrap all kinds of auspicious things in the stuffing, so as to place people's wishes for the new year.

Zhang Xiaocao likes to eat dumplings very much, but the dumplings made are really hard to compliment. The dumplings made by Grandma Zhang stand upright. She was lying on the dumpling limply, the white surface was covered with fillings, that's not counting, the dumplings were like ingots, hers were just a lump, she lost her appetite just looking at it.

Mu Hua watched from the side, suppressing a smile.

Grandma Zhang couldn't help it anymore, she picked up a dumpling and sighed: "Where is this a dumpling, those who don't know it think it's a ball of mud!"

Zhang Xiaocao heard the words and looked at the dumplings made by the three of them in the dustpan. The dumplings she made were really special. She didn't look like mud, but more like a pile of poop!
Evil, it's too disgusting!
Looking at it with some disgust, she decided not to eat what she made at night!

Mu Hua looked at her and comforted her: "This is my sister's first time making dumplings, even if they don't look good, as long as they taste good, I will eat all the dumplings made by my sister later!"

Zhang Xiaocao was touched and said: "Mu Hua is the best! Grandma just cares about making fun of me!"

Grandma Zhang laughed and said, "Isn't it that the two of you, siblings, are complaining about grandma together? Okay, grandma will stop talking!"

Zhang Xiaocao smiled smugly, then glanced at the poop dumplings she had made, smiled, and decided to cook them all for Mu Hua tonight!

The Zhang family was laughing and laughing, but they didn't know that a fierce fight was going on in the deep forest not far from Zhang's village!

The sound of weapons colliding and screams reverberated in the valley, and the strong smell of blood was disgusting. Looking around, there were bloody stumps all around. The less, the more corpses piled up on the ground!
Lin Zhaoyuan was covered in blood, some of his own and some of his enemies. He tightly protected the people behind him, and looked at the enemies in all directions vigilantly with his sharp eyes. Suddenly, there was a piercing sound in his ears, and he quickly Turning around to block in front of that person, a sword cut through the oncoming arrows in the back!
Before the people in the dark could react, they quickly bent their bows and set their arrows, and the arrows with a cold light, with a strong killing intent, quickly shot towards the grass not far away. Not the slightest sound!

"Jinyu, when I go back this time, I must thoroughly investigate the people around me!"

Lin Zhaoyuan stared coldly at the enemy who was trying to approach, and said to Jinyu without looking back!
They returned to the capital in secret, and no one knew their route except the cronies around them. Ever since they left Linnan Mansion, they had been assassinated all the way. If they hadn't changed their route in time, they would have been in dire straits!
But despite this, he was discovered when he reached the border of Qingzhou, and the pursuit along the way has never stopped, and most of the hidden guards protecting Jinyu were dead this time!
"I know!"

Jinyu replied in a deep voice!With a sharp turn, he swung his sword and chopped down a man in black who was trying to sneak up from behind. His crimson brocade clothes became dull because of the blood!
The two of them didn't talk any more, they cooperated tacitly and killed the enemies who tried to attack one after another!
A group of people retreated towards the outskirts of the forest while fighting. Lin Zhaoyuan looked at the fewer and fewer hidden guards around him, and secretly worried. Seeing that the enemy was about to break through the defense line and attack, he made a decisive decision and gave an order to the hidden guards around him: "Yun Ying, you lead people to hold them back, I will protect Jinyu and go first, remember, you must hold them back with all your strength!"

Without saying a word, Yunying stared sharply at the rushing enemy with her exposed eyes, and took a step forward to stand in front of Lin Zhaoyuan!
Lin Zhaoyuan and Jinyu fought and retreated. When gradually breaking away from the encirclement, they shot a feint, and the two retreated into the depths of the dense forest!
The enemy leader sensed their intentions and rushed towards them quickly, but was entangled tightly by Yun Ying and the others, unable to get away for a while, so he had to order more than a dozen subordinates who had free hands to chase after them...

In the evening, the family sits in Grandma Zhang's small living room to watch the night, chatting and eating. Although there is no modern Spring Festival Gala, this kind of warmth is extremely rare in previous lives!

When it was midnight, there were bursts of firecrackers everywhere, and Grandma Zhang quickly took yellow paper, incense, candles, and a plate of fresh fish and a piece of meat to the front yard, and lit a joss stick. Once inserted on the clay ingot, after the yellow paper was burned, the New Year's Eve was over with the sound of firecrackers!

After watching for most of the night, the three of them were a little tired. After saying a few words, they went back to their rooms to sleep. They will wake up early tomorrow morning to greet the villagers!

Zhang Xiaocao, who was lying on the bed, stared at the white jade bracelet on her wrist. Although she was very sleepy, she didn't feel sleepy. Until now, the man still hasn't come back, nor sent a message, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. A lot of anxiety!
If there were no major events, how could Lin Zhaoyuan not come back?And she knew almost nothing about him, she only knew that he was Li Zheng's grandson, who was studying in the county school, but she didn't know what he did on weekdays at all!
