Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

When passing by Niu's house, I saw Aniu also coming out to set off firecrackers, and the crackling sound of the firecrackers was deafening.

Song Yan immediately felt the lively atmosphere of the New Year. He covered his ears and said loudly to Shu Changyu: "Hurry up, let's go back and set off firecrackers."

When I got home and pushed the door open, I saw that the oil lamp in the room was still on.

The twins were not asleep. Even Yaya was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. Her big eyes like black grapes were filled with tears and her little face looked aggrieved.

Song Yan laughed: "Erya, cover Yaya's ears. I'm going to set off firecrackers."

He took out a long roll of firecrackers and walked out the door.

He spread the firecrackers flat at the door, took out a lighter, blew them, and lit the fuse.

As the fuse burned with a hiss, Song Yan quickly retreated to Shu Changyu's side: "Be careful, don't let the sparks splash on you."

After saying that, he reached out and covered his ears.

Shu Changyu was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

The fuse of the firecracker was about to explode. In an instant, a series of explosions resounded through the night sky, and flames splashed, illuminating the entire yard.

Soon the sound of firecrackers gradually became sparse. Song Yan loosened his hand and pulled Shu Changyu's wrist into the house.

"Shu Changyu, are you hungry? I'll go make some wontons."

When Song Wanzhou heard this, he said coquettishly, "Brother, I want to eat wontons too."

"Okay, let's go to bed after eating. Don't stay up too late." Song Yan turned and went into the kitchen, and cooked a pot of wontons with the chicken soup she had made in the afternoon.

Just as it was served on the table, Song Wanzhou was heard talking outside: "Brother Qi, why weren't you at home just now? The local gentry was setting off fireworks, it was really beautiful."

An Qi said: "Oh, I see."

He thought to himself: Those fireworks were set off by Anwu and me.

Song Yan listened to the conversation between the two and realized something. He shouted to the outside, "Since you're back, let's have a bowl of wontons together."

He gave Shu Changyu a look.

Only then did Shu Changyu slowly let out a "hmm".

After the whole family finished eating a pot of wontons, An Qi cleaned up the dishes and washed them.

At this time, Song Yan took out red envelopes and gave them to the children.

"I passed the Erlin County exam successfully."

Song Zhengdu took the red envelope and said solemnly, "I will definitely live up to your expectations, big brother."

"Arya is making progress in her studies."

"Thank you, big brother." Song Wanzhou blinked and said deliberately, "Big brother, I hope you can marry me soon."

Song Yan glanced at Shu Changyu in panic. When he met his teasing gaze, he quickly coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment.

He lowered his head and sent a red envelope to Yaya: "Yaya, be healthy."

Yaya: "Brother Da~"

After distributing the red envelopes, Song Yan urged the children to go back to the room and sleep.

Then, he took out a red envelope and gave it to An Qi: "Happy New Year."

An Qi quickly accepted it, said happy new year, and left the hall.

Shu Changyu raised his eyebrows, his tone was emotionless: "You sent red envelopes to all of them, but I didn't?"

Song Yan heard the jealousy in his words, smiled, took Shu Changyu's hand, and placed a red envelope in his palm, "Here, this is for you."

Then he whispered, "None of their red seals are as big as yours."

Over there, An Qi walked out of the door excitedly holding the red seal. Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a young man with a stern face standing by the door.

He took out the red seal, waved it in front of An Wu, and said proudly: "Mr. Song gave it to me, you don't have it, do you?"

An Wu's eyes showed no fluctuations, he just looked at him indifferently.

"Tsk, so boring." An Qi curled his lips, put away the red envelope, turned around and saw his master coming out of the yard.

He immediately restrained his expression and replaced it with a respectful one.

Shu Changyu passed by him, suddenly paused, and asked, "How many red envelopes do you have?"

Unexpectedly, the master actually asked this. An Qi was dumbfounded, and then replied: "One penny of silver."

Shu Changyu raised the corner of his lips in a delighted arc: "Oh? Only this much."

An Qi: "..."

Shu Changyu seemed to be in a good mood and threw out two gold ingots: "This is a reward for you."

An Wu and An Qi raised their hands to receive it, and said quickly: "Thank you for the reward, Master."

Song Yan came out a few steps late and saw An Qi looking very happy. He was still wondering, did he pick up some money? Why was he so happy?

After watching Shu Changyu leave, he returned to the house, washed up simply, and prepared to go to bed.

He didn't know if it was because the kang was overheated or for some other reason, but he suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart and suffered from insomnia again.

Recalling the fireworks that Shu Changyu lit for him tonight, Song Yan tossed and turned in bed, with ripples in his heart.

He scratched his ear and wondered if he should prepare a surprise for Shu Changyu.

However, he only had one hundred taels of silver on hand, and tonight he had given Shu Changyu a red envelope containing a fifty-tael silver note, so now he only had fifty taels left.

I still need to buy land after the New Year, and my budget is limited, so I can't be as generous as Shu Changyu and set off fireworks for an hour.

He wondered if there was any way to save money and still make it a romantic surprise.

Suddenly he remembered that the Lantern Festival would be in half a month.

Lantern Festival...

He thought of it!

The more Song Yan thought about it, the more excited she became, silently depicting every detail of the Lantern Festival in her mind.

He spent almost the entire night in excitement, and only closed his eyes reluctantly when the sky began to turn pale in the east.

However, just after falling asleep, the sound of firecrackers all around rang out like spring thunder, and Song Yan was suddenly awakened.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, stood up and walked towards the main room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Song Zhengdu sitting by the stove, holding a book in his hands with a focused expression.

He will take part in the county examination next month. Although he has memorized the books by heart, he still feels unsure. Only when he reads can he feel more calm.

Noticing that Song Yan had gotten up, he raised his head slightly and said, "Brother, breakfast is heating up in the pot."

Song Yan rubbed her face to sober herself up: "We'll go to the Niu family to pay New Year's greetings later."

The first meal of the New Year was eaten with the Niu family.

Aunt Niu specially slaughtered a chicken, cut sausages and smoked fish, and stewed cabbage and frozen tofu with large bones.

The four brothers and sisters of the Song family came with New Year gifts: "Aunt, we are here!"

"Come in quickly, the food is ready." Aunt Niu wiped her apron, bent down and picked up the plump Yaya, "Oh, has our Yaya gained weight again?"

Yaya smiled sweetly: "Auntie~Auntie~"

Aunt Niu couldn't help but be delighted: "You can actually call me auntie!"

The hot food was already on the table. Uncle Niu smiled and said, "Sit down and eat. We are all family, so don't be polite."

Song Yan ate and took things without being polite to the Niu family at all.

After I went back home from dinner, not long after, the little kids I knew in the village came to pay New Year’s greetings.

"Happy New Year, big brother."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Song Yan grabbed a handful of fried dough twist and stuffed it into Goudan's mouth, "Take it and eat it."

The little kids had to go to the next house to pay New Year's greetings. After eating some fried dough twists, they left happily.

Song Yan originally thought that no one was coming and planned to go back to the house for a nap, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice: "Brother Song, I'm here to wish you a happy new year."

It’s Dongsheng’s family who came to pay New Year’s greetings.

Song Yan immediately perked up and entertained Dongsheng's family.

Dongsheng noticed the tired look on Song Yan's face, so he sat for a while before getting up and saying goodbye.

Soon it was the second day of the new year. Both Song's father and mother had no relatives alive, and Song Yan did not need to visit relatives, so she rested at home for a day.

Sister Xiang from the Niu family next door had just given birth to a child and was still in confinement, so she was unable to return to her parents' home to visit.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of the New Year, and Song Yan went to the Shu family to pay New Year's greetings with gifts.
