Chapter 161 End of the Year
Time passed quickly, and it was already the end of the year in a blink of an eye.At the end of the year, every household is preparing for the New Year, and the Ling family is also very busy.To buy all kinds of New Year's goods, but also to prepare for the New Year's gifts.

However, there are naturally people in the Ling family who are busy with work, but Li Xin has always been relatively free.Naturally, she would not interfere with the affairs of the Ling family. On weekdays, she only had to go to class with the sisters of the Ling family, and spent the rest of her time with Mrs. Ling. Things were rare.

By the end of the year, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is not so cold. It will be colder in the morning and evening, but it is still very warm in the daytime.

The people who looked at the house started to get busy, it seemed that there was a festive atmosphere for the New Year everywhere, but Li Xin missed home more and more.Although they were at Sun's family during Chinese New Year last year, the whole family was together, and the atmosphere was still very warm.But now, they are so far apart, it is not easy to meet each other.

She really wanted to go home, she had been away for so long!

There are several famous red plum trees in Mrs. Ling's courtyard, and now some plum blossoms are slowly blooming.Of course, there are more flower buds on the tree, and the plum blossom buds are all over the branches, like rouge, full of elegance.Occasionally, plum blossoms bloom on the branches, trembling in the cold wind, with a sense of clank of Ling Han and Ao Shuang.There are also many budding ones, like a shy girl, half-opened and half-closed like a smile, with a profound charm.

Green pines and red plums are a pleasing picture.

Li Xin stood under the plum blossom tree, gently plucking the petals of the plum blossom, looking bored.

"Cousin has a grudge against this flower! The petals were all damaged by my cousin." Ling Ziye's voice sounded from behind her, she turned her head slightly, and glanced at him.

"Who would have a grudge against Huamu! I'm not that boring." Li Xin smiled.

"I know my cousin is homesick, but now it's the Chinese New Year, and I should be happier. Even if I have to leave, at least it will be after the New Year. You don't have to worry too much about the cultural and museum matters. There are family members in Nanbai County. Shop, I have asked the shopkeeper to help you watch over your home, if there is anything wrong, I will help you deal with it, and I will also write to us."

"Thank you, cousin." She didn't expect that he had already secretly entrusted someone.No matter whether he can use the person he arranged or not, at least she appreciates his kindness.

"Is that family really that good? Couldn't the family treat you better?" He walked up to her and stopped.He didn't even know how a little girl could feel so much melancholy. Sometimes, she stood quietly like this, but he felt a kind of lonely chill emanating from her body.

Although the surroundings are so lively, she thinks that she is always alone, with a kind of loneliness.Sometimes, even though she is so close, she feels that she is so far apart, as if the distant ones are not in the same world.He can get close to her, but he cannot enter her world.

"That's different, just like my cousin, you won't be afraid that the old ones will be abandoned just because you opened a few new stores! What has existed is always there, and it won't be true for any reason. It doesn’t exist anymore. That’s my home, it’s always been, or rather, it’s my first real home, and it’s always been different in my heart. No matter how many things I own, my No matter how many people surround me, Wen Bo is always my family, and no one can replace them in my heart."

"So, even though you've been back for so long, you still shouldn't have the original intention?" He stared at her.In this family, she is still not happy enough.

He still remembered that during the few days when he lived in her house, when she faced her younger siblings, she smiled slightly, and she could know how happy she was.

It's not that she doesn't like to laugh now, she is a polite person, and she always keeps an elegant smile, with a touch of affinity.It's just that it always feels different.

"Yes! I still don't change my original intention. After the new year, I will propose to leave with my grandmother. At that time, I hope my cousin can help me persuade my grandmother!" Even the Ling family is a good environment , but she still wants to go home.No matter how nice this place is, it's not her home after all!
Although here, the old lady loves her, Ling Feifei is close to her, and Ling Ziye is also very kind to her.It was Ling Yifan and Wang Shi, although they were not very close to her, and they had food and clothing, but they never missed her.She cherishes these things very much, but in comparison, she still wants to live with Wen Bo and the others.

Or, it's because Wenbo and the others need her more!
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more. However, this is still your home, although you are welcome to come back. If you have free time, come back and take a look. If I pass by your house in the future, I will visit you too."

"Okay." Li Xin responded with a smile.The brilliance in the eyes is flowing, and the waves are shining, making people unable to move their eyes away.

"By the way, I've sent someone to give a New Year's gift to Wenbo. Everything is ready. I think we can live a good year if you come to Wenbo."

"Why didn't my cousin tell me in advance, so that I could send a letter to Wenbo." There is no post office in this world, and it is very difficult to deliver a letter.It is a waste of manpower and material resources to send it to a special person.Therefore, it is very difficult for people who travel far away to receive a letter from home.

Therefore, she just wanted to write a letter to Wenbo, but it was hard to send it out.For a letter, she felt sorry for letting someone communicate so far away.

"I didn't intend to tell you. I was afraid that if I told you, it would cause you to feel homesick. But, seeing how you are now, I will tell you. But the letter was delivered late, and the annual gift has been sent out for several days Yes. But, I think, Wenbo and others should write to you."

"Should be!" Since someone is going here, Wenbo will definitely write to her.

The two talked outside for a while, then went into the house.In the room, Mrs. Wang is discussing with Mrs. Madam about the Chinese New Year. Although Mrs. Wang has always been in charge of matters in the inner house, she still needs to discuss with Mrs. Mrs. about things like the New Year's Day. A kind of respect for people!

"Xinyao is here! The mansion is rushing to make new clothes for the New Year. In the afternoon, I will send someone to your place to tailor your clothes. Later, I will pick out clothes with your sisters. Pick out the fabric you like!" Seeing Li Xin coming in, Wang said with a smile.By the end of the year, new clothes for several children will also be made.

It's the end of the year, and there are many things to do, and the servants in the mansion are also busy making new clothes, but they put the children behind.Fortunately, everything else has been made. Now, the sewing room is a little more relaxed, and I can concentrate on making new clothes for the children.

"Thank you, Auntie." Li Xin smiled.

"The shop sent a lot of good materials and some good leathers, all of which are rare and good things. I will give you a few points for each sister, and some of them will be used to make new clothes, and the rest will be kept. When you want to use them Take it out again." Mrs. Ling said while holding Li Xin's hand.Xixi, Keke and Xinyao are not young anymore, so it's time to dress up properly.

Especially Xinyao, no one took care of these things for her before, and now she has to prepare everything that needs to be prepared.For the sake of the children, a woman's dowry generally contains things that the woman can use in her lifetime. For many things, what is in the dowry is enough for a lifetime.For example, some rare and good things have to be accumulated slowly.For example, some expensive spices, some good leather, these are all to be collected slowly.

Since Xinyao came back, she asked the shop to find some good clothes and leathers, just to dress up Xinyao.However, Xixi and the others are her own granddaughters, so naturally they have to share everything.

"It's still mother who is careful, and has already prepared all the ingredients!" Wang Shi smiled.Mother still loves this granddaughter!I was also afraid that if I took care of this matter myself, I would deduct it from it, so I prepared it myself.It's just some cloth and leather, her eyelids are not so shallow yet.

She has been preparing the dowry for Xixi and Qianqian for so many years, and many things are almost ready.Such a generous dowry, even if compared with other girls, it will not be easily compared.

"Grandma didn't even think about preparing two good leather clothes for me!" Ling Ziye smiled and sat down next to the old lady.

"You! You have yours too, and I'll send it to you when I find it. You're a man, why do you need to dress up like your sisters!" The old lady poked Ling Ziye's forehead.

"Brother is still grabbing clothes from us!" Ling Feifei looked at Ling Ziye with a smile.

Not long after, several sisters from the Ling family arrived.Mrs. Ling asked people to display all the clothes they had brought back, and let a few girls go forward to pick them out.Mrs. Ling also prepared some specially for Mrs. Wang, which was specially selected. Compared with Mrs. Wang's age, the materials used must be different from those used by the little girls.

As expected, the Ling family specializes in the fabric business, and the fabrics displayed are really eye-catching. At first glance, it looks like the sun is steaming, and it is extremely beautiful.The sisters of the Ling family happily picked them up, and Li Xin watched them with a smile.

"Cousin, hurry up and choose!" Ling Feifei gave Li Xin a hand.Li Xin also watched and picked a few horses, all of which were relatively clean.She doesn't like to wear brightly colored clothes, and her clothes have always been relatively plain.

Soon, everyone also picked several bolts of fabric, and even the leathers were distributed among themselves.
