The lunch was good, with three more dishes than usual. The family had three sheep, and Zhao Guocheng slaughtered the ewes for the New Year. The mutton soup we had for lunch was really good, but the highlight was the evening.

However, all the snacks in the house were placed out for the children to eat, and some people in the village even sent some homemade food.

Wang Ronghua couldn't refuse, so she had to accept them all, and then asked people to take some of the food she made at home back home. As a result, there was a lot of extra food at home.

In fact, Zhao Guocheng was still a little worried, because the New Year gift he sent to Azhi was not accepted by Azhi, and was rejected by the doorman, so they didn't even meet.

Although Zhao Guocheng felt a little confused, it was Chinese New Year and he couldn't disturb them, so he could only ask them to go back and not send any gifts. He planned to visit Azhi after the Chinese New Year.

In fact, Zhao Guocheng thought a little more, thinking that Azhi looked down on ordinary people like them, but based on his past interactions with Azhi, he knew that Azhi was not that kind of person.

Zhao Guocheng was a little unsure for a moment.

He could only wait until after the New Year to talk about it. He did not tell his family about this matter. He just secretly asked someone to help find out what was going on in Mr. Qian's family.

New Year's Eve dinner.

The four children, who had been tired for the whole afternoon, looked at the New Year's Eve dinner like hungry wolves hunting for food. They waited until Zhao Guocheng started eating before they started eating.

"Today is New Year's Eve, let me say a few words." Zhao Guocheng was very happy to see everyone eating happily.

Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Zhao Guocheng as he spoke.

"This year, you are here for the first time, and it has only been a few months, but we have experienced life and death, and we have also learned more about each other. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this family. I hope you will continue to work hard next year and treat this place as your own home. If this home is good, you will be good. My wife and I have prepared a small gift for each of you. I hope you will accept it. The days to come will get better and better! Let's drink this cup." Zhao Guocheng finished speaking and drank first as a sign of respect.

Qin Ming, Chen Dadong, Old Man Tai and others stood up, raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp. The children couldn't drink alcohol, so they drank soup or water instead, and the women filled up their glasses.

Afterwards, Mrs. Sun began to give red envelopes to everyone, which was a token of kindness from the employer.

After Zhao Guocheng finished speaking, he wanted Wang Ronghua to say a few words, but Wang Ronghua declined, saying that it was enough for Zhao Guocheng to speak, and she would not make a fool of herself first.

Just let everyone eat well, drink well and have a good new year.

Everyone was in a great mood after the meal, and the atmosphere became even more lively after drinking some wine.

Some are sad, some are happy!

Although some families in the village had prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, they just ate in silence. After all, there was a new death this year, so the New Year was boring.

Zhao Guocheng and others naturally didn't know about these things.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, the women cleaned up and started sitting in the yard chatting.

Every day from then on was free, which was a rare opportunity for them, as they didn't know what to do when they had free time.

It was New Year's Eve, and no one was sleeping, so they sat in the yard and chatted. Peng Wencai also had the New Year's Eve dinner with them, and now he was sitting aside and listening to everyone chatting.

"Grandpa Tai, shall we not practice tonight?" Zhao Shiying was a little overwhelmed. Her legs hurt and she trembled when she stood for too long.

She hasn't adapted yet.

It can also be said that you didn’t practice enough or the time was not long enough.

"Practice, why not practice?" said Mr. Tai.

Several people wailed.

"And you two boys, practice with me. Even if you don't master it, at least it will help you stay healthy. If you really learn one or two tricks, you can protect yourself. You can also help your young master and young lady." Old Master Tai pointed at Qin Hai and Qin He and said.

Qin Hai and Qin He: “…” After a look of confusion, they became overjoyed.

"Thank you, Grandpa Tai, you are such a good person. Don't worry, we will study hard and will never hold the young ladies back." Qin Hai said sincerely.

After saying this, he looked at the young ladies and gentlemen.

Zhao Shisheng and the others nodded to the two and encouraged them, "Come on!"

They smiled at each other, and were happy.

But Qin Hai and Qin He were really happy because they could finally practice martial arts. If they also knew martial arts, they would not only be able to strengthen their bodies, but also be able to protect the young masters and young ladies. They would become useful.

In their minds, they are now people who can only eat but are useless.

This makes them feel somewhat inferior.

Zhao Shisheng and others looked at Qin Hai and Qin He happily because now, they were not the only ones suffering, there were two more people, how could they not be happy?

What's up with this being a bit funny!

However, Zhao Shiying thinks more long-term and thinks that it is a good thing that Grandpa Tai did.

After all, we will all be family members in the future, and everyone has a time to shine. It would be nice if we could learn more skills.

"Rest for another quarter of an hour. After quarter of an hour, we will start doing our homework in this small courtyard." Old Master Tai smiled, leaned his hands on his back, and walked leisurely towards Zhao Guocheng and the others.

He won't participate in the children's games for the time being, it's nice for him to chat here.

"Boss, what should we plant in the fields next year? We have to come up with a plan as soon as possible. This year's wheat harvest is okay, but we delayed applying fertilizer before, and it feels like the harvest is still a little less. This year I have applied fertilizer in advance, and I'm waiting for next spring sowing." said Chen Dadong.

"Well, you did a good job. I think we should irrigate those fertile fields and turn them into paddy fields and plant rice directly. Although I don't know if God will give us a chance to survive next year, there is a river in our village. At most, we can irrigate the fields with water. The yield of the paddy fields will definitely not be that bad," said Zhao Guocheng.

Chen Dadong was a little hesitant.

"Dad, I have a good idea." Zhao Shiying hurried over.

"Hahaha... You little kid, you're good at doing business, let alone farming? I don't believe it." Old man Tai joked.

"How do you know if it works if you don't try? Besides, I think growing rice is really good. I like to eat rice. I have no appetite for steamed buns every day. Rice is still delicious." Zhao Shiying said.

"Well, you know how to eat." Zhao Guocheng nodded.

Everyone wanted to laugh, but they held it back because they had to give the young lady face.

"Haha...right, so let's plant rice on all the good farmland at home, and it's best to plant two seasons, so that even if we pay taxes, we can still have a lot of food left." Zhao Shiying said.

"What? Planting two crops of rice? No way, no way. It's impossible." Zhao Guocheng frowned.

"Why not? It's OK in the south, and it's OK here. As long as the temperature is guaranteed, it will definitely work. We can cultivate the seedlings in advance instead of making nests directly. I think it will work." Zhao Shiying said.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and Grandpa Tai was also a little curious, as he had never heard of this before.

Places in the south of the Yangtze River can have two rice harvests a year, but it is very difficult in other places, mainly due to climate issues.

If this can solve the temperature problem, maybe it will really work? Mr. Tai is interested.

Everyone was also curious and surprised by what they said.
