I am engaged in construction in Datang

Stir-fry sesame candy, deep-fry rice cakes, and let the children taste them. The wife looks at her face, and listens to the mirror to tell the good and bad luck. She bends down to sweep the old dust and light a new incense for the Kitchen God.

Female village.

"On the 23rd, we worship the Kitchen God. I will be at home sweeping the kitchen. In another five or six days, the New Year will arrive."

Zhao Chengyi was running in the front holding a long piece of sesame candy, followed by his friends.

Wang Erya was so angry that the other party took the marijuana candy from her basket!

The children were playing and fighting, while Li Yin led the tenants in the village to prepare food for the Kitchen God Festival, such as braised pig heads, steamed fish, and stewed mutton...

Except for the military factory, steel mill, soap factory and alcohol production plant, all other workshops have stopped in recent days.

These workshops are only responsible for ensuring the production of necessities.

There will be major floods and epidemics next year, and Li Yin will never be able to feel at ease.

"Anti-evil box, playing with walnuts, two cannon shots. Children pass the imperial examinations with a ping-pong sound, and the fire rises higher than the sky."

Li Yin put a piece of white, plump and soft rice cake into the oil pan. The crackling sound was just like firecrackers, as if celebrating the arrival of something good.

While the tenants here were working hard, the battle among the children over there had become extremely tense.

Zhao Chengyi had no moral principles and opened his bloody mouth to bite the marijuana candy.

Wang Erya was about to cry: "Zhao Shitou, shut up!"

"If you don't give me the candy, I won't let you copy the math homework during the winter vacation!"

"?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the adults around were unhappy and all looked at Zhao Chengyi and Wang Erya in the center of the battlefield.

"Wang Erya!" Zhao Chengyi stared with a pair of frightened eyes.

What did Wang Erya say just now?

Is it right to say that he copied his winter vacation homework?

He felt dark before his eyes, and his future was bleak, so he opened his mouth to expose the truth: "If you don't ask me to copy math, then I won't ask you to copy Chinese!"

"???"

The surrounding tenants silently raised their rolling pins...

"Erya, Shitou, stop arguing!" Li Qinhao's forehead was covered with cold sweat. You two idiots, don't you want to have a good New Year?

The two of them calmed down instantly and looked around, only to see Wang Dahai and Zhao Erniu coming over with rough rattan whips.

"Yeah, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Zhao Chengyi's eyes were full of horror. When he was about to admit his mistake, Wang Erya next to him had already embarked on the road to escape.

"Are you wrong?" Zhao Erniu laughed extremely terribly and walked towards Zhao Chengyi step by step.

"Come on, tell Aye how many times you have cheated on homework? If you tell me, Aye won't kick you..."

Hearing this, Zhao Chengyi's eyes shone with a glimmer of hope. Will his father really not kick him?

Just as he was about to speak, Wang Erya shouted miserably, "Aye, didn't you say you wouldn't kick me?"

"Yes! Did I kick you?" Wang Dahai swung the whip and hit Wang Erya on the butt.

"Ow—!"

Wang Erya screamed miserably, the light in Zhao Chengyi's eyes disappeared, and he became even more terrified.

He took a step forward without hesitation, turned around and ran.

"Zhao Shitou!" Zhao Erniu was furious and started chasing after the other party.

Zhao Chengyi had short legs, so he could never run faster than Zhao Erniu, who was tall and strong. He was caught up in no time.

A cane swung away -

"Ah~!" He jumped high.

As soon as Zhao Chengyi finished shouting, Wang Erya also screamed miserably, and when Wang Erya took a rest, it was his "highlight" moment again.

Li Qin's face turned pale. This duet really scared her.

"Qinhao." Li Yingwu walked towards his daughter. Qinhao was a good girl, not like Erya and Shitou!

"Qinhao, you will..."

Before he could finish the words "Don't learn from Erya and Shitou", he saw his sweet little girl's face filled with fear, and she turned around and started to run away.

"Aye, I won't dare to do it again, please forgive me!"

"." The smile on Li Yingwu's face froze, and then he raised his fist...

Li Yin stood by the stove and laughed heartily, while Xiaochun and others beside her also laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

"Master, do the children have too much homework?"

Li Xiaochun was puzzled: "Why does everyone want to copy it?"

Li Yin glanced at Xiaochun with complicated eyes, and said in a deep and story-filled tone: "Xiaochun, you don't understand."

Not everyone can be as self-disciplined as Xiaochun!

Thinking back to when she was in school, she cried and called her classmate, a top student, to ask for the answers to the multiple-choice questions in her English winter vacation homework... because school was about to start the next day.

“???” Xiaochun was confused. Why should he copy after finishing the task?

Seeing Li Yin looking at her with deep sorrow, she had to swallow the questions. Anyway, she had already swallowed a lot of doubts, big and small, so this one wouldn't make a difference.

While there was chaos here, Li Shimin came over with Si Zi and Empress Zhang Sun.

"Stepsister!"

Li Shimin's voice was particularly loud today, as if he had something happy to tell.

"What delicious food should I make today?"

"Sacrificial candy." Li Yin said with a smile, "Today we are trying to shut up the Kitchen God!"

"Today?" Li Shimin was confused: "Why, why would the Kitchen God Festival be held today?"

They had already started offering sacrifices to all the gods.

"Well, the farm is too busy!" Li Yin said vaguely: "Don't worry about it, come, brother, try the sesame candy for the Kitchen God, it's delicious!"

Li Shimin also stopped hesitating and took the sesame candy handed to him by Li Yin and took a bite.

Crispy, sweet and sticky.

As he ate, his expression turned grim: "Sister, this sesame candy made in the village is not good."

“It’s delicious, but it sticks to your teeth.”

"Just sticky teeth." Li Yin said with a smile, "It means to let the Kitchen God eat the sticky teeth to stick his mouth shut and prevent him from going to the Heavenly Palace to complain."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "This is a good implication!"

Sizi was eating a small piece of sesame candy with his face full of saliva. His little hand was stuck to the candy and he couldn't get rid of it.

"My stepsister's birthday is coming soon, so I brought you something good today!"

birthday?

Li Yin was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was almost time. Counting the time, she had been here for a year.

"Oh, look at my memory."

"I was so busy all day that I even forgot my birthday." Li Yin became interested: "What good thing is it that makes you want to call me brother?"

As she spoke, she smacked her head again: "Look at me, I even forgot to ask about my brother's birthday!"

Li Shimin's birthday was on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, which was yesterday, so she naturally knew that.

It’s just that Old Li just held a banquet in the palace yesterday, and today he couldn’t wait to come here under the pretext of giving gifts…

"Ahem!" Li Shimin blushed for a moment, then quickly returned to normal: "What a coincidence, yesterday was my brother's birthday."

"What?!" Li Yin was shocked, and then complained: "Brother, why didn't you tell me a few days ago!"

"Well, what's the harm?"

Li Shimin pretended to be indifferent: "It's the same today!"

"..." Everyone.

“……”Empress Changsun covered her face and quietly stretched out her finger.
