The New Year’s Eve party at Lin’s Farm is similar to last year, but of course this year’s New Year’s goods are richer than in previous years.
Everyone had a smile on their face and carried large and small bags home to celebrate the New Year.
It was getting dark. Lin Jiaojiao had just returned from the farm and the aroma of hot pot was already wafting through the yard.
In previous years, on New Year's Eve, Lin Dadan's family and Lian Yun's family would gather together at their home to celebrate the new year. But this year was different. Lin Chun and Tongfu had just gotten married, so the whole family had to stay at home. Lian Yun took Zhang Lianyu to Nanshan City to celebrate the new year with Zhang Tong, who could not take a holiday.
However, Fu's mother and father were very punctual and rushed back as soon as they finished their business.
Lin Jiaojiao went straight to the kitchen, and sure enough, the whole family was gathered there.
The room was warm, and Lan Jiu went forward to take off her fur-collared cloak.
"Jiao'er, I heard that your second uncle won the first prize?"
Lin Jiaojiao listened to Lin's father's question and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, my second uncle was lucky. Even my aunt's name was drawn for the third prize."
Father Lin was naturally happy to hear this. It didn't matter who the prize was given to, but it would be best if it could be given to a family member.
Fu's mother was playing with Lin Lexing in her arms. She had always felt that something was wrong in the room, but she just couldn't remember what it was. Now that she saw Lin Jiaojiao come back, she realized that someone was missing.
"Jiao Jie'er, it's almost New Year's Day, isn't Yao Ge coming back yet?"
She didn't like Lin Yao very much. After getting married, she should stay at home and behave herself. It was not nice for her to run around outside all day.
Lin's father also didn't know Lin Yao's true identity, but Lin Yao stayed at home for half a month when he got married, and he was not seen since then, which made him worry about Lin Jiaojiao.
Who can tell what will happen to a man who doesn't come home?
None of the six husbands spoke, but they all agreed that Qi Yao would not be able to come back in time, as the time before the New Year was probably the busiest time for the court.
Of course, Lin Jiaojiao also thought so. She received Qi Yao’s letter at the Linjiao Restaurant in Kyoto seven days ago. He should be on the way now, and it might take five or six days for him to arrive home.
"Mom, Ayao is on his way home. It's hard to travel in this heavy snow."
Fu's mother snorted, "It's hard to hurry and I don't know how to come back early. How big is this business..."
Father Fu raised his hand and patted her, signaling her to say less. It's a matter between a wife and her husband, and you, as a mother-in-law, have no right to interfere in this matter.
Lin Jiaojiao walked to the crib with a guilty conscience, and explained while teasing the two little sisters with a rattle.
"Mom, you also know how to give up this business. It's not easy for a man to run a business. He has arranged the business in Kyoto in the past few years, so he will have more time at home in the future."
That being said, Fu's mother always felt something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, Fu's father pinched her arm. She chose to shut up. It would be better for her to play with her good granddaughter.
After the family finished eating the hot pot, Fu's mother suggested going to the entertainment room to play mahjong, and they could at least get two tables together.
The group walked out of the kitchen talking and laughing. Lin Jiaojiao spotted Lin Fen, Lan Yi and others moving boxes at the door, so she walked over quickly.
"Lin Fen, have you had dinner yet? Just leave this thing here and let them move it."
Lin Fen carefully put down the box and said with a smile: "I ate my brother and sister. Four of these boxes were sent from Kyoto, and the other six boxes were sent from the border city of Wu."
Over the past half month, every time Lin Fen came back from delivering goods, she would bring back a truckload of New Year goods sent from various places to Lin Jiaojiao's family. She had just brought back one truckload in the morning. In the afternoon, after attending the annual meeting, she sent Lian Yun and Zhang Lianyu to Nanshan. Unexpectedly, she brought back another truckload.
She quickly took out three letters from her pocket, handed them to Lin Jiaojiao, then said goodbye and left.
When Lin Jiaojiao heard the word Kyoto before, she guessed that it was sent by Lin Yun. After looking at the envelope, she found out that there were two boxes of things sent by Su Minyue. The other six boxes surprised her a little, because they were sent by Tang Xiaotang.
Lin Xiayou and Lin Lexing had already run to the boxes and wanted to open them. They loved opening these boxes because they knew there would definitely be toys they liked inside.
But Lin Dongyi was not interested in these. He only liked Liuliang and even wanted to hold him in his arms when sleeping, which made Lin Yiyan very helpless.
"Mother~Open~"
When Lin Jiaojiao heard the little ones' cries for help, she walked over and rubbed their little heads.
"Let the aunts move to the warehouse first, and then you can go and choose, okay?"
"it is good!"
Lin Jiaojiao did not go to play mahjong first, but stayed in the greenhouse next to the entertainment room, which was converted into a children's room. The floor was covered with thick carpets and various toys were placed on it for the children to play with.
She sat on the floor and watched the three little ones playing. Lin Yizhi was sitting on the bed with the two little ones. He had just finished feeding them and was coaxing them to sleep.
"My dear wife, I didn't expect Tang Xiaotang to join the army. No wonder I haven't heard from her for a year. Her sisters and brothers are so worried."
"She has always had her own ideas. She wrote to me last year saying that she wanted to start a career."
She just didn't expect she would join the army.
In this letter, she wrote: I have experienced so much and earned some money, but I found that in this world, I can't move forward without power. I want power.
She made no secret of her ambition in her letter.
She thought of what happened in Lin Dadan's house last night. Power is really useful. No wonder so many people are crazy about it.
Lin Yizhi turned around and continued to coax the children, but unfortunately the two little guys were not sleepy at all and were whining and making a fuss.
Lin Jiaojiao saw Lin Dongyi yawn, then he stood up and walked to her with his arms open. She smiled and hugged him in her arms.
"Are you sleepy in winter? You want to sleep? Go to sleep and let your mother hold you."
After she put the sleeping Lin Dongyi on the kang, Lin Xiayou and Lin Lexing each hugged one of her legs and acted coquettishly.
"Mother, hug me~"
"Mom wants a hug~"
After she coaxed the children to sleep, she quietly pulled Lin Yizhi out of the room and went to the entertainment room.
"Sister Jiaojiao! Second brother, come and take my place! Mom and Dad won't let me go, and I lost all my beans."
"You play this card so badly, I don't even want to say anything to you, come here, Sister Jiao."
After hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao smiled helplessly, walked to Fu Qi's seat and sat down, took a look at the cards he had not finished playing, and did not blame him, after all, these cards were really bad.
Fu Qi sat behind her and asked, "Sister Jiaojiao, are Le Xing and the others asleep?"
"Well, let them sleep for a while, so they will have the energy to set off fireworks and firecrackers later."
"Fireworks? Where did you buy them? Aren't these things monopolized by Jingzhou?"
In fact, it is not a monopoly. The imperial court distributes a certain amount to each state every year, but it is divided up by the big families in each state, so it cannot flow into the market.
Before Lin Jiaojiao could explain, Father Lin beside her said proudly, "It was sent back by Yao Ge'er. There are ten tubes. He said they are perfect."
When Fu's mother heard this, her eyes widened, "What kind of business is Yao-ge-er doing? His connections are amazing!"
Lin Jiaojiao touched the cards and said awkwardly, "Well, he has a big business. One third of the shops in Kyoto are his."
"Oh my goodness..."
Fu's mother was so shocked that she murmured to herself that she wanted to take back her previous stereotype of men. This man was no worse than them women when it came to his career.
Midnight, Linjia Village.
I don't know who started it first, but the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another all around.
Lin Jiaojiao's family stood in the yard and watched Lan Yi light the firecrackers, which immediately caused crackling sounds and sparks to splash everywhere.
Lin Jiaojiao covered her ears and looked at the three little ones standing next to her father. They also covered their ears like the adults, and laughed as if they saw something funny.
But the noise scared the two little sisters, and they burst into tears. Lin Yizhi and Lan Jiu each held one and tried to comfort them, but the fireworks that flashed in the sky instantly dazzled everyone's eyes.
The sound of firecrackers in the village stopped tacitly, and people from the entire Linjia Village ran out of their houses to look at the bright and colorful fireworks above the Lin Mansion.
"Wow, what is that? It's beautiful!"
"It's fireworks! They're so beautiful!"
"It's Master Lin who is praying for us to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters!"
"Our village is really getting better and better..."
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the fireworks in the sky that were fleeting, and turned her head to look at her six husbands. As if they noticed her gaze, all six of them looked at her.
She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled and spoke to them silently.
"Happy New Year."
It would be nice if he was there too, so that the whole family could be together to celebrate the New Year.
When Lan Yi was about to light the tenth firework tube, a hurried sound was heard from the dark road in the distance.
"Tat-tat-tat..."
It's the sound of a galloping horse!
"Boom-bang!"
The fireworks instantly illuminated the horse running at high speed in the darkness and the man in black on its back.
"Ah Yao!"
"Jiaojiao, I'm back!"
