Business is so good on the first day of the new year that Chen Baoni feels unsatisfied.

It still feels good to get the money in hand.

"Oh, I want to continue selling noodles tomorrow..."

When closing the stall in the evening, Chen Baoni looked conflicted as she said the business was so good that she couldn't let go.

But she is a married woman and has to go back to her parents' home to visit relatives on the second day of the New Year.

In previous years, I would go back to my parents' home early. If I don't go back this year, the gossipers in Chenjia Village will definitely gossip about me. Although I went back to my parents' home several times during festivals last year, it is different to go back to my parents' home during the Spring Festival to visit relatives. If I don't go back, I don't know what my parents will think.

Moreover, she wanted to go back to her parents' home and have a good talk with them about the fact that all the women had entered the ancestral hall yesterday. She would not be willing if she did not show off this matter to them.

Chen Baoni had a little more idea, which was to go into the ancestral hall of their Chen family.

I hope Chenjia Village can open the door of the ancestral hall like Lanjia Village, so that married women like them can also worship their ancestors.

Lan Xin, who had packed up and was about to go home, saw Chen Baoni's tangled look and said with a smile: "I don't think there will be as many people tomorrow as today. Tourists have to go back to their mother's house."

"That's true." Chen Baoni nodded after hearing this.

But once this business is established, one won't let go of any small profit. Even though there will be fewer people tomorrow, there are still many tourists, and a lot of money can be made in a day.

"How about that? My little one and I will go back to my parents' home tomorrow, and let Lanqing and the eldest one take care of this stall."

Finally, Chen Baonis thought about it and came up with this idea.

As for the gossip in Chenjia Village, Chen Baoni planned to buy two chickens tomorrow and cut some meat to carry back with her, so that the gossip of the villagers would focus on these things.

After all, the people in Lanjia Village lived a lively and rich life this year, while people in other poor villages did not have such good food, and even the New Year was a tight squeeze.

Thinking of this, Chen Baoni hurriedly discussed it with Lan Qing. The old-fashioned Lan Qing did not agree with her idea. Who wouldn't go back to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year to do business?

Is this just a money-seeking thing?

The two of them started arguing while chatting, and Lan Xin hurried over to try to reconcile them.

After much persuasion, the couple finally reconciled and discussed the matter behind closed doors.

There are many people in Lanjia Village who quarrel like Lan Qing and her husband. Some husbands-in-law are even reluctant to let their daughters-in-law go and want them to continue making money instead of returning to their parents' home.

But the young wives in Lanjia Village are now very tough.

They have lucrative jobs and money on hand, so they don't care about these people's faces. They just want to show off when they get home.

Not to mention other things, even the aunts who have been married for decades, have grandchildren, and have not returned to their parents' home for several years have begun to want to go back.

After all, they didn't show off enough on New Year's Day when they went to other villages, so they wanted to show off when they returned to their parents' home.

The married women who returned to their parents' home were unaware of the villagers' thoughts. As soon as they came back, they were dragged by their families to the ancestral hall. After they really walked into the ancestral hall and lit a few incense sticks, they came to their senses and looked at the scenery around them in a trance.

They really entered the ancestral hall.

And those sons-in-law who accompanied their wives back to their parents' homes were extremely surprised and shocked to see that Lanjia Village had really opened the ancestral hall and allowed women to enter.

"This is really the ancestral hall. Is there another one?" One of the sons-in-law who came back with the family looked at the house filled with incense and couldn't believe it.

He followed here out of curiosity because he heard his mother-in-law asked someone to bring a message saying that the daughter-in-law could return to her parents' home and enter the ancestral hall. At first he thought he had heard wrongly, after all, no one in the nearby villages said that women could enter any ancestral hall.

He originally thought that he had heard the wrong news, but when he came back today, he actually saw his wife and a group of married women who had returned to the village entering the ancestral hall together. He was stunned.

Are the people in Lanjia Village really so open-minded that they can even include women in the family tree and enter the ancestral hall?

His brother-in-law heard him muttering and immediately rolled his eyes.

"It's a new era now, don't you understand? Great men have said that women hold up half the sky, men and women are equal, the Qing Dynasty has fallen, how can the rules of the old era restrain people of the new era?"

Noticing that his cheap brother-in-law was looking at him in surprise and then with a look of shame, the young man held his chin high, straightened his back, and looked like a civilized young man of modern times. He was very energetic.

Sister Lan Xin is right!

He thought it was well said when he heard it in the ancestral hall. Now that he could recite it and receive the admiring looks from others, he felt extremely happy and honored.

This time, when he went back to Lanjia Village, the sons-in-law of Lanjia Village were greatly surprised. When they heard how much money the people of Lanjia Village made in the second half of last year, they were so eager to try their luck.

I couldn't help but wonder, is this really the woman from Lanjia Village blessed by the ancestors?

Looking sideways at their own wives, they murmured in their hearts, why not ask the elders to give in and allow their wives to enter their ancestral hall?

Maybe my own small family can also become rich.

……

Lan Xin lives in her parents' home. Of course, there is no custom of going back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. She just does what she needs to do.

She did not go to Qingshan Hotel today, but stayed at the educated youth center, where she and Ma Cuihua cooked pot after pot of fragrant tea eggs early in the morning. There were only her, Ma Cuihua and Lan Yongtian in the entire educated youth center. The other young wives had asked for leave to go back to their parents' homes.

These tea eggs were reserved by the young wives in Lanjia Village who were preparing to return to their parents' homes.

After all, the fragrance of these fragrant tea eggs spreads all the way. If you carry a bag full of them, you can smell their aroma from one end of the village to the other. Isn't that better than canned fruit? Isn't it prestigious?

So they hesitantly pulled Lan Xin to ask her for a preferential price. Lan Xin was also happy to do this business, so each of them bought a small basket of tea eggs.

Ma Cuihua had no plans to go back to her parents' home today.

Her parents almost sold her out. They took the money and married her to a mentally ill man without any care. They didn't even come to see her after she gave birth.

Life is good now, all thanks to Ma Cuihua's own hard work. She doesn't want to give money to her parents' or her husband's family.

Just because she's making money, you want to come over? Forget it!

Ma Cuihua felt amused when she thought about how she lived in the same village yesterday and her mother-in-law came to her house to say nice things to her as if she didn't know her. She was angry at first, but her silly husband and son stood on her side, making the cruel mother-in-law so angry that her nose was crooked. When she thought of this, she worked harder.

"Sister Cuihua, what are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?" Lan Xin had just poured a pot of cracked eggs into the pot and came out with the empty basin, when she saw Ma Cuihua, who was cracking eggs, grinning foolishly.

Hearing Lan Xin's question, Ma Cuihua quickly told Lan Xin everything. Lan Xin was the person she trusted the most now, and she did not hide anything.

After hearing what Ma Cuihua said, Lan Xin couldn't help but nodded:

"Don't worry about them. Life is better now. The children have grown up and have money. They know how to come home. What were they doing in the first place?"

"That's right." Lan Yongtian on the side nodded vigorously.

After half a year, he gradually became more talkative and could connect with others in conversations. He was no longer a socially anxious person.

"Just ignore them. If they dare to come again, tell me and I will help drive them out."
