After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

"That's amazing! I suspect there was something deliberate about that look on his face!" Guangdan whispered in his eldest brother's ear.

"Yeah." Gouwei nodded repeatedly, thinking that his cousin was very smart.

"Can Sanniuniu hold on to the indenture? Don't let her be taken away by someone." The eldest aunt still grumbled a little worriedly.

"Don't worry, the indenture contract will not be left with Sanniuniu." The uncle said slowly, and the smile in his eyes became more obvious.

Guangdan, who was listening to this, couldn't help but feel that his cousin from another room was really something! At least he had some plans.

This incident also reminded him of some statements he had seen on the Internet before. At that time, someone asked why uncles have had a high status since ancient times?

Someone answered at that time that, apart from the factor of favoring boys over girls, it would be more accurate to say that in the ancient patriarchal society, the uncle was the only man who had no conflict of interest with you but whose natural attributes were inseparable from you.

When I think of these words again now and put myself in their shoes, I am deeply touched.

Without the Third Aunt holding us back, and with the great performance of the eldest son Feng, the matter was resolved in just this one trip. How the Third Aunt's family will live in the future is their own business.

Your parents can lend a helping hand when necessary, but more importantly, you have to stand on your own feet.

Of course, several cousins ​​from my great grandfather's family seemed to have no hope for my third aunt. Now they just hoped that she could obey her son after her husband's death and treat Feng Laoer as dead, and listen more to her son in the future.

After all, Master Feng's brain is much better than his mother's.

It was almost dusk when we returned to Linjia Village. It gets dark early in winter and there was already a glimpse of smoke from cooking fires in the village.

Farmers always have dinner before dark. Guangdan is now used to his stomach growling with hunger in the middle of the night, so he puts snacks under the pillow on the kang from time to time, such as sesame candy and peach cakes.

After arriving home, there was inevitably a lot of talking. Lin Xiaoniu directly took the position of commentator and talked with saliva flying all over the place, which made the audience very satisfied.

Even Grandma Lin repeatedly sighed that Sanniuniu gave birth to a good son, which was a blessing in disguise.

After all, not every twelve or thirteen-year-old child can stand up for his mother like this. Most of them stand on the side of their father and act as if nothing has happened.

Lin Daniu even admired the child for having the cleverness of the Lin family.

This incident was considered a new thing in the Lin family. It was lively for several days, and in the blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve.

Mr. Lin cares a lot about this New Year and has made thoughtful preparations in all aspects.

According to the clan rules, ancestor worship is to be performed on the morning of the 30th. Grandpa Lin, wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket, and accompanied by his energetic children and grandchildren, carried a large pig's head and a sheep's head, a fish and several plates of cakes, and swaggered to the ancestral hall.

Guangdan followed behind, holding Goudan in one hand and Goumaoer in the other, his face filled with curiosity and joy.

From early morning, there were constant sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums coming from the ancestral hall. Most of the little kids in the village gathered here to watch the fun. Although it is like this every year, the children still find it a lot of fun.

By the time Guangdan heard the sound of the suona, the atmosphere had basically reached its climax. At this time, the old and young in the village began to kowtow in rows according to their seniority. The scale of the event left Guangdan dumbfounded.

Guangdan was also among them and followed the team. He was in a daze and a little confused, but that didn't stop him from joining in the fun.

After returning home from the ancestor worship ceremony, the pig's head went straight into the kitchen. Fang Cuihua took a knife and started chopping it for a while, and then put the pig's head into the braising pot.

After all, everyone already knows that my family sells braised food, so I simply cleared out a big pot in the morning. Now there are pig heads, pig tails and pig feet in it. If I braise them today, they can be a staple dish for the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight.

You can put the leftovers in the cupboard and steam them when guests come during the first month of the lunar year. It’s very convenient.

The remaining sheep heads were frozen in the ice hole again. There was too little meat in the sheep heads, so they could be stewed into soup directly.

Cao Lian also took out the fish used for ancestor worship, cleaned it and prepared to braise it. This fish is basically kept from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, which means abundance every year.

Therefore, every New Year, adults have to remind their children at home that they cannot eat the fish on the table, so as not to ruin their fortunes in the coming year.

The Lin family had quite a few dishes on New Year’s Eve. In addition to braised pork and braised carp, there was also a dish called Jiao’er that had never been served in the Lin family before.

It is said that this Jiao'er soup was made by Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty to treat patients with frozen ears in the cold winter.

The method is to chop up mutton, pepper, chili and other cold-relieving herbs, use dough to pinch them into ear-shaped dumplings, and cook them in a pot.

This jiao'er is actually the dumplings of later generations, which surprised Guangdan, because dumplings already existed at that time, but this kind of dumplings called jiao'er seemed to only appear on the table during the Chinese New Year.

Of course, this dish was recommended to Cao Lian by Mrs. Wu. Cao Lian is now devoted to cooking and is very willing to try. Facts have also proved that this dish is quite successful.

Next comes a pot of stewed chicken soup, spicy stir-fried rabbit cubes, brown sugar rice cake, etc. There are a total of ten dishes, which symbolize perfection. Eight of them are meat dishes. The main focus of this New Year's Eve is eating meat.

This made the little ones in the family very happy. Grandpa Lin even asked Cao Lian to take out some rice wine for the women and children in the family to drink. This kind of rice wine was called sweet wine by everyone, and it was brought back from the provincial capital by Guangdan some time ago.

The men in the family also drank the sake that Guangdan brought back from the provincial capital. When Lin Daniu and his brothers were a little tipsy, they sighed that Guangdan was the most capable person in this family. Although he was small, he knew how to eat and drink!

At this time, Guangdan was drinking sweet wine. This sweet rice wine was so delicious! He couldn't stop drinking it!

He was already feeling sleepy after finishing the second half of the game. He felt dazed and his world was spinning. What was going on?

Just like that, Lin Guangdan drank sweet wine and got himself drunk on New Year's Eve. When he woke up again, he found himself wrapped up like a ball in the main room, drooling while sleeping.

He opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. His father, second uncle and younger uncle were still playing finger-guessing games and chatting. His eldest brother, Goudan, Goumao, and a group of people including his grandparents were playing with bamboo cards.

"You didn't even call me!!" said the little boy, whose bald face was roasted red by the fire.

Fang Cuihua turned her head to look at the sleeping Guangdan, and said with a smile: "I thought you were going to sleep until midnight! You don't need anyone to wake you up! Wake up, it will be midnight in another hour, wait until the firecrackers are set off before going to sleep."
