The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

When the group returned home, everyone had a full stomach.

The two little ones had big round bellies, and they could hardly stand straight after swaying all the way back.

Mr. Jiang and his companions happened to be home for lunch, and when they saw this, they bent down and touched their bellies.

"What delicious food did you guys secretly eat outside?"

Mr. Jiang said with a smile, obviously teasing them.

Lin Xiaohu was young, and immediately showed a guilty look on his face. He took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket in a flattering manner, "Grandpa, have some peanuts. My aunt took us to visit relatives, and my aunt gave me these peanuts."

As he said that, he stuffed it into Mr. Jiang's hand.

Then he took Mr. Jiang's hand and walked inside, not letting him ask any more questions.

Tie Niu curled his lips and snorted, "Flatterer!"

I followed her into the house, panting, carrying the New Year's goods I had purchased.

Mr. Jiang smiled and didn't expose them.

The Jiang family was busy in an orderly manner. Some of them were responsible for the business, while others were in charge of preparing things for the festival at home.

Lian Jiang Baishu, Tie Niu and Lin Xiaohu also helped out running around. With more people in the family, the festive atmosphere became particularly strong.

New Year's Eve came in a blink of an eye, and both carriages of the family went out early in the morning.

In the days leading up to the Chinese New Year, the Jiang family returned to their old business. They left a mule cart at home and sent out two horse carts to do business.

First, he took people to the city to set up the stalls, and then hurried home to transport the goods to various restaurants.

This year, in addition to braised meat, bacon, meat floss and meat jerky, my family also made some in advance to sell. Now everyone at the pig farm in the back mountain is busy making meat floss and meat jerky, which is quite time-consuming and laborious.

Today everyone is rushing to finish the last batch of goods in the afternoon so that they can all go home to celebrate the festival.

After all, we've been busy for a whole year, and just to have money to spend and meat to eat during the New Year, can't we be happier?

Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Zhang were busy preparing for ancestor worship. Aunt Zhang's daughter was in charge of boiling water. There were several young children in the family.

Jiang Songshu was helping Zhao with the work, while Jiang Youli was assigned to bathe a few children.

Children should wash first, and adults should wait until they have finished their work. It is best to wash before worshiping the ancestors. If not, wait until after dinner.

The sound of firecrackers could be heard from time to time throughout the village. When the firecrackers stopped, every household had finished worshipping their ancestors and started to eat dinner.

On New Year's Eve, before it got completely dark, many families had already finished their meals and bathed.

After asking for New Year’s money from their elders at home, the children began to wander around the village in groups.

Jiang Baishu brought an extra child this year, and he started asking for New Year's money from the elders in the family, starting with Grandpa Jiang.

Old Master Jiang had already taken a shower early, and his hair was almost dry. He smiled as he took out the New Year's money he had prepared long ago, wrapped in red paper. From Jiang Baishu to Tie Niu to Lin Xiaohu, they all looked equally heavy.

It was Jiang Youli's turn. He fumbled around and took out a string of copper coins strung together with red ropes.

Several children also kowtowed to him happily and wished him a happy new year.

After a round of activities, the kids made a lot of money.

"Mom, sister, let's go out and play!"

After informing their family, the children ran out like crazy.

After staying at home for a few days, Jiang Baishu and Tie Niu became obviously more lively and cheerful.

During the Chinese New Year, at least before the seventh day of the first lunar month, everyone has nothing to do.

Jiang Songshu and Gu Xianle were newlyweds after all, and they took Lin Xiaohu back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

In the next few days, Lin Xiaohu was left to Jiang Baishu by his parents, and the couple were away from home for two or three days in a row.

Lin Xiaohu was not a noisy person. Every day he followed Tie Niu and a group of children from the village, along with Xiao Hei, who had been guarding the house for a year, and made the village a mess.

Inevitably, some people would come to their door and, somehow, harm other people's chickens.

There was no other choice but to use the money from their New Year's money to compensate them.

The family finally calmed down a little.

Jiang Baishu acted like an older brother and an uncle. He pulled the two younger ones and pressed them down to start doing their homework.

Although it is still the festival, the festive atmosphere is gradually fading away.

When Jiang Xi returned from the capital, the Jiang family was busy with their cooked food business and did not mention the doll much.

Now that everyone has some free time, he arranged for Aunt Zhang and her family to make stuffed dolls.

A few days ago, people were busy preparing for the New Year, but Yu San was not idle either. He collected a lot of rabbit skins and was halfway through tanning them. After a three-day break for the New Year, Yu San started working again.

Jiang Xi followed him and worked in the pig farm.

Unexpectedly, the Song Yulin brothers found their way to the back mountain.

"Happy New Year, Sister Li!"

Song Yulin greeted Jiang Li across the fence.

Just when Jiang Xi was wondering why Song Yuxing didn't follow, Song Yuxing appeared from behind Song Yulin and greeted Jiang Xi with a bright smile, "Sister A Li, long time no see! Happy New Year!"

This was followed by a series of congratulations.

Song Yulin pushed him away, opened the door and walked in first.

"It's New Year's Day, don't you two need to go out and visit people?"

Jiang Xi put down the leather in his hand, washed his hands in the wooden barrel beside him, wiped his hands and walked towards the two people.

Song Yulin and Song Yuxing nodded towards Yu San. Having come here so many times, the Song brothers had at least become familiar with the people at the pig farm.

Jiang Xi brought the two people into the house and took out a bunch of snacks.

Song Yulin smiled and said, "Sister A Li, why do you still treat us like children?"

As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Xi, "This is a letter my cousin sent from the border. It's for you!"

Jiang Xi took the letter with one hand, raised his chin and nodded to Song Yuxing beside him.

Song Yulin turned his head and saw Song Yuxing holding a plate and eating snacks happily.

Song Yuxing noticed their gazes and smiled, "I'm not a person who likes snacks, but the snacks at Sister A Li's are different from those at other places!"

Song Yulin shook his head helplessly, too lazy to pay attention to him.

The Song Yulin brothers also brought New Year gifts prepared by Song Yunhang and his wife.

During the Chinese New Year, when people come to visit, especially those who are about to become relatives, they take it even more seriously.

The gifts brought by the Song Yulin brothers were all approved by Mrs. Song before being taken out.

Mrs. Song prepared dry goods, including nourishing medicinal herbs, bird's nests, as well as cakes, dim sum, tea, wine, etc.

The two brothers walked in a hurry. After they sat down, their servants followed them in carrying large and small bags.

Seeing the servant coming in breathlessly, the two brothers slapped their heads and said, "Oh, right, this is what my mother asked me to bring over."

Song Yulin stood up suddenly, and Song Yuxing also stood up holding the plate, with a sesame seed from the jerky on the corner of his mouth.
