On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Aunt Lu and Aunt Li Tang Dai in the family gave them a holiday, and the tofu shop in the county also closed. They were all paid wages, and each of them was given a year-end bonus of [-] Wen, five catties of pork, two A box of snacks, a fish's Chinese New Year benefits.I was so happy that Tang Shouzi all expressed their loyalty to Tang Dai and promised to work hard as usual next year.

Auntie, apart from the agreed wages, she was supposed to give her a profit, but my aunt, uncle, and grandfather did not agree to share the bonus money, saying that the bean sprouts were sold in the shop for free, which was already helped , You can't be greedy for bonuses.

In the end, Mrs. Li and Tang Dai had no choice but to compromise, and gave the aunt the wages she should have given, and another two taels of silver as a year-end bonus, and gave them ten catties of pork, four boxes of snacks, and two fish for the New Year.My aunt wanted to postpone it again, but Tang Dai said that everyone else had it, and she was in charge of the shop to worry about it, so she should take it, so my aunt had no choice but to take it.

Grandpa's family's annual gift was bought by Mrs. Li, and Tang Dai made a reference. Grandpa and grandma each had a new set of clothes, a pair of cotton shoes, and bought two jars of champion red for grandpa. grandmother.

Cousins ​​and cousins ​​bought pens and inks for school, and cousins ​​and girls bought silk flowers and snacks for children.Uncles and aunts also bought corresponding gifts according to everyone's preferences.

Only the third uncle added one more thing, a jade pipe, which Tang Dai found on the street. The quality of the jade was not bad, and it cost three taels of silver.The third uncle took it, touched the slippery jade, and was beaming with joy.

In the shop, Tang Dai followed Aunt Xiaomei's arrangement, if she is willing to close early and go back to the neighboring county for the New Year, if she doesn't want to go back, she can stay in the shop with her family.

She doesn't worry too much, and things will gradually be pushed to Aunt Xiaomei herself. She just went to settle accounts a year ago, and she made a lot of money, and paid half a month's wages to several people. wait.

Holding the copper plate in her hand, Xiao Qing joyfully went to hide it, fearing that her mother would take it.Tang Dai looked at it amusedly, she liked this little girl very much, she was good-looking and very smart.

Both Fucheng and Beijing received Tang Dai's New Year gifts. Ning Weiyu was very happy to ask the cook to cook winter bamboo shoots and tofu according to the method written in Tang Dai's letter. Aunt Ning saw that the young lady ate a lot, and she felt sorry for Tang Dai. Dai was a little more happy.

In Princess Changping's mansion in the capital city, when Ouyang Qing received the New Year's gift, although he disliked the little girl's lack of thoughtfulness, he happily hummed his nameless song again.He hurriedly went to the kitchen, took the recipe paper and threw it to the cook, telling them to hurry up and follow the recipe, he was waiting to eat.

The women in the kitchen were startled, when did the young master take care of the kitchen!After the little maid who helped was frightened, she was stunned. Their young masters are not easy to see. In the past, I only heard from the old people in the mansion that the second son of Princess Changping was extremely handsome, even more handsome than a beautiful woman. nice.Today they have opened their eyes, what those people said is true, all of them have red hearts in their eyes, if they are not concerned about their identities, they may all jump on them.

Ouyang Qing passed by like a gust of wind, ignoring the servants whose eyeballs were about to fall out, coolly combed three thousand black hair, and waved his red sleeves, um, my lord is just good-looking, what's wrong?Grandpa Mei's grandpa himself is jealous, isn't there a saying, "Yushu is facing the wind and the beautiful young man, what's the matter with looking at the mirror?"Oh, I forgot, how to describe it later.

Alas, I want to be a handsome man quietly, but it's a bit difficult!
The stinking Ouyang Qing, remembering the blow of his cousin in Prince An's Mansion, decided to fight back hard this time, and asked the boy to share some winter bamboo shoots and dried tofu and send them to Prince An's Mansion, and appointed the black-hearted fairy Only the son can accept it.Hmph, I'm envious of you, but someone brought food to me, my son is kind and pity you, so I'll give you some!
In Prince An's Mansion, the boy in white hurried out from the study to the living room, thinking that the convulsed cousin had something important to do, so he asked him to personally receive him.

As a result, the boy said to bring him food, and when he looked at the things lying on the ground, his face darkened, and his whole body was air-conditioned, as if he had nothing to do every day like that guy, and he was so bored!
With a sound of "Get out", the boy who delivered the things was so frightened that he scrambled and crawled out of Prince An's Mansion, touched the sweat that didn't exist on his face, it was not bad, his life was finally saved!The same goes for my young master, what kind of precious things do you want Prince An's Prince Feng to pick up in person? !
After listening to the boy's report, Ouyang Qing, who was eating winter bamboo shoots with relish, finally swept away the gloom during this period, raised his face and laughed, well, the taste of these bamboo shoots is really good!Return to Chang'an County after a year and ask the little girl to get him some more.

It's finally a time to tease this black heart, make you dark and cold inside, and make you pretend to be a fairy on the outside!
Feng Rongruo, the son of Feng Rongruo, a white-clothed young man in Prince An's Mansion, saw the servant roll out, stopped to go back to the study, walked to the thing, looked with interest, what is the white and fat thing?The small golden pieces are dried tofu?
There is also a piece of paper, on which the eating method is written, the handwriting is obviously a woman's, delicate and dignified yet sharp.He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, it was sent by the little village girl, no wonder that guy let him accept it in person.

Shaking his head speechlessly, he ordered the waiters to take it to the kitchen and cook it according to the recipe on the paper. He wanted to try this fresh food for lunch.After a pause, he asked the man to copy the eating method on the paper first, and the paper with Tang Dai's handwriting remained.

In the study room, Feng Rongruo, Feng Shizi who was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, read the words on the paper again.Is he going again this year?

Tangjia Village, inside the new house.

Tang Dai, who was busy in the kitchen, didn't know that her thoughtless New Year ceremony brought a series of reactions.While busy thinking about the New Year's Eve, the eighth day of the lunar new year is her birthday, after which she will be nine years old, I hope to grow up soon!

In this way, she can let go and do what she likes.She shouldn't be like this now, everyone treats her as a little carrot, and if they want to touch her head, they can touch her head!

The two little fur balls arched their heads at her feet, and used their paws to imprint a few dusty paw marks on her new clothes, before being driven out of the kitchen by Tang Dai in disgust.

The two little wolves are getting bigger and bigger. After all, they are not tame dogs. To avoid hurting people, they can't be kept like this in the future.After a few years, I will make a new wolf den for each of the two. If the size of the den is too large, it will not be enough to sleep in. Well, I have to make two more silver collars. When people come to the house or go out for a walk, they must be tied with a rope.

The two who were kicked out were rolling happily in the hall, scratching each other and fighting, but they didn't know that their childhood life was coming to an end. Liberty is chained!
