At midnight, the second wave of fireworks and firecrackers went off.

The children who hadn't slept all ran out from every house, and Taohuawu was very lively.

Xiao Yi and Shen Chumo also went out of the courtyard to look outside.

Watching the children bouncing around with fireworks in their hands, the scene is very festive.

And at this time, Xiao Yi saw a figure who didn't seem to fit in well among the group of children.

That figure was actually very social, because he was having so much fun with the kids as if he was a kid himself.

But in reality, he is an adult.

And it was an adult in his 30s, almost 40 years old.

At first glance, it seemed that there was something wrong with the man's head.

"That person..." Shen Chumo also saw him.

"That's Brother Stick." Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Most villages have a village guard, and Brother Stick is the watchman of Taohuawu."

I heard that Brother Stick had a fever when he was a child, but his family didn't pay attention, and his brain was burnt out.

A few years ago, Brother Stick's last relative passed away, and he was left alone.

On weekdays, if there is any business in Taohuawu, such as setting up a banquet in Taohuawu, I will ask Brother Stick to go there.

It is estimated that during the Chinese New Year this year, Brother Stick does not know which one he was called to eat.

I didn't see him when I came back yesterday.

Shen Chumo nodded clearly, she had heard of this somewhat.

After another round of fireworks was set off, everyone went back separately.

Xiao Yi and Shen Chumo went back to his residence, washed up and went to sleep.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Taohuawu is even busier.

During the first lunar month, Taohuawu is open to the outside world.

Anyone who wants to visit, or has relatives, will come during this time.

Not to mention the first day of the new year.

Especially many people came to visit Xiao Zhanguo.

Xiao Yi didn't go out after allowing the old butler to come and call him a few times.

He knew that whenever the old man asked the old housekeeper to come over, someone must have asked about him, but this was just a process the old man followed, and it was all for outsiders to see.

If he doesn't go, the old man will naturally not say anything.

Because the old man didn't want him to go there either.

After that, Xiao Yi also took Shen Chumo to Xiao Shitou's house to pay New Year's greetings first, and then dragged Xiao Shitou to let Xiao Shitou take him from house to house.

After all, he still has many people who don't know how to address them. Although he had met them last time, to be honest, after coming back this time, he suddenly found himself face-blind.

I can only let Xiao Shitou introduce it.

Shen Chumo once again became Taohuawu's darling.

Whenever you go to a family, you are greeted warmly.

On the contrary, he was more casual with Xiao Yi.

In their eyes, let alone Xiao Yi who hasn't come back for nearly 20 years, even if he hasn't come back for 40 years, he is still from Taohuawu.

They are all my own family members, there is no need to be so particular.

But Shen Chumo is a daughter-in-law who just came to the door, so they must say hello.

In terms of etiquette, Taohuawu has never been bad.

When Xiao Yi took Shen Chumo around for a while, his arms were already full of red envelopes, and he couldn't even hold them later, and there were still many in Xiao Yi's pocket.

"Is this not good?" Shen Chumo felt that the clothes on his body were a lot heavier.

"What's the matter, it's all right to give red envelopes to your daughter-in-law in New Year's greetings." Xiao Yi said with a smile.

Shen Chumo wanted to say that the red envelope was too big.

As for the red envelopes she held, each one contained at least 1 yuan.

This is still very little.

A person who seemed to be called Uncle Grandpa or Uncle Grandpa gave her [-] yuan directly.

This made her wonder, are all the people in Taohuawu so rich?

So generous?

Although these amounts are nothing to her, they are really very heavy just for the red envelopes for the Chinese New Year.

This feeling is completely different from those rich families who directly gave 10,000 + 20 or even millions during the New Year.

"Master! Master let you go." The old housekeeper found Xiao Yi again.

But even after running so many times, the old housekeeper still didn't change his expression and was out of breath.

I heard that the old housekeeper was the old man's right-hand man back then.

This physical fitness seems to be better than that of the old man.

Xiao Yi was about to say no, and he couldn't bear to see the old butler run away like this, but before he could say anything, he heard the old butler say: "Master, those friends of yours are here, and..."

"What else?" Xiao Yi thought it should be Fatty Ding and the others.

"You'd better go and see for yourself." The old butler subconsciously glanced at Shen Chumo, and then said to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded, and then walked towards the old man with Shen Chumo.

"Young Madam, how about I let someone take Young Madam for a stroll around our Taohuawu?" The old butler asked while leading the way.

"I've finished shopping yesterday and today." Xiao Yi looked at the old butler suspiciously.

Why does it feel like there is a deep meaning in the words?

Could it be someone Shen Chumo couldn't see?

But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anyone who Shen Chumo couldn't see, so he didn't care.

When he arrived at the old man's courtyard, he heard the old man's hearty laughter coming from inside.

Several young people were talking to the old man with smiles on their faces.

But it can be seen that they are very reserved, and they dare not move when sitting in their seats, and the tea next to them is almost cold.

The old man reminded them to drink tea, and they took a gulp and poured it in.

They did not come to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Xiao on behalf of their family members. After all, their family members would naturally come over and visit in person. They came to represent their own New Year greetings.

Before Xiao Yi went in, he saw a gentle figure sitting inside.

gentle!

Xiao Yi was stunned.

Gentle... come to pay New Year's greetings?

I heard Ruan Rou said before that she had to go back to her hometown on New Year's Day...

Only then did he understand why the old housekeeper said those words just now.

Obviously, he didn't want Shen Chumo and Ruan to meet.

It's a pity that the old housekeeper didn't remind clearly enough——

Wenrou seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned her head to look out.

When she saw Xiao Yi, her gentle eyebrows and eyes were also curved, and her smile was smooth and beautiful.

"Why is gentleness here?" Shen Chumo also saw gentleness and was very surprised.

After all, Wenrou is the current partner of Huarong Group.

On the third day after Ruan Wen returned to Yanjing from Jiangbei last time, Yanjing responded and was very willing to cooperate with Huarong Group.

But at this moment Gentleness appeared in Taohuawu——

She looked at Xiao Yi: "You guys knew each other before?"

Xiao Yi nodded, and said with a hey smile, "We met once."

Shen Chumo understood, but didn't ask anything else.

After all, it's just a New Year's greeting.

After Xiao Yi and Shen Chumo went in, Xiao Zhanguo left this place to them, while he walked out with his hands behind his back, wandering outside.
