It was the first time for the children to come to the city. They were all very excited and could not bear to blink. Lin Wanxiu was even more excited. This was the city. My aunt was really lucky. No wonder her mother always told her that my aunt had married well and that she would find a family in the city for her to marry and enjoy a good life.

But ever since her uncle's family became rich, her mother had been asking her to please Xiaomi and her uncle. In her opinion, no matter how rich her uncle was, how could he compare with the people in the city? Otherwise, why would he still live in the village and not buy a house in the city?

Xiaomi and them did not meet, they reserved the best seats in the restaurant to enjoy the lanterns. How dare they go down to squeeze in? Wang was pregnant, and it was too dangerous to have so many people.

At night, all kinds of lanterns are lit up, including monkey lanterns, lotus lanterns, rabbit lanterns, tiger lanterns, silk lanterns, orange lanterns...all kinds of lanterns, colorful.

The small Pingyang County was illuminated as bright as day.

The temple fair not far away was even more crowded and lively. Xiaomi was a little eager to try, but looking at her mother's bulging belly, she decided to wait until next year.

"Boom", a firework like a shooting star rose into the sky, and then a bright red "flower" bloomed.

"Oh! Fireworks are being set off!" Someone shouted, and a family of three rushed to the window.

In the night, one firework after another overlapped each other and exploded in the air, releasing flowers of various colors and emitting dazzling light in the air.

Lin Xiaomi was surprised. Did the ancients have fireworks? Although the colors and patterns were simple, they were also fireworks, right?

The cheers of adults and the laughter of children were heard one after another, and the whole lantern festival was bustling with people. !

After the fireworks, people gradually dispersed, but everyone was still reluctant to leave.

The two families of the old Lin family were stunned. Is this how the city people celebrate the Lantern Festival? Then how did they celebrate it before? Lin Dahai secretly made up his mind to work hard to make money and move his family to the city.

Lin Wanxiu thought that every year from now on, she would pester her parents to take them out to see the Lantern Festival. She had always heard adults say how good the city was, and today she had truly experienced it, and she became more determined to marry someone from the city.

She doesn't want to follow the peasants and suffer all her life.

After the Lantern Festival, the Chinese New Year is considered over.

In addition to making dough and pastry, farmers also had to prepare for spring ploughing. The responsibility of allocating personnel fell on the head of the village.

For farmers, land is their life. Spring ploughing is a big event and cannot be taken lightly.

Lin Dashan planned a piece of land and hired an engineering team to build a factory. This time he planned to build a two-story building. The farmers had no experience and they were not able to spare the time. Lin Dashan thought it would be better to hire someone to do the work.

In addition to the factory building, the newly bought house and the straw huts where the farmers live, he also plans to tear down and rebuild. His daughter said something about unified planning. The chicken coop on the mountain side also needs to be built.

The person who took the order was very happy. With such a big order, they could finish the whole year and they would not have to worry about work this year.

When they heard that Lin Dashan asked them to rush the work and finish it in 4 months, they said, "No, no, this is impossible!"

"Add more people. Go find two more contractors and have you work together. Is that okay? I'll give you an extra two cents a day, okay?" As long as there were more people and they could do the work, he didn't mind spending a few more taels of silver.

Of course the foreman didn't want to find anyone to share the work, as it was hard to find such a good job. But the deadline was tight and he couldn't do it. He had no choice but to accept the job even though he was unwilling.

In a few months, my wife will be giving birth. How can we keep the house in such a mess? We have to work so hard and finish the work before the baby is born.

Lin Dashan was so busy that he wanted to break himself into pieces. His daughter had spread her wings too far. Was she trying to tire him to death? What a traitor!

"Xiaomi, what should we do if we build so many houses but can't use them?"

Lin Dashan was worried. Would what his daughter said come true? In fact, he was very satisfied with his current life. He didn't have to worry about it anymore. It was enough for his family to eat and drink.

With my daughter's temper, what will I do when she gets married? Will my mother-in-law be able to pamper her like he does and let her do whatever she wants?

"Don't worry, it will definitely come in handy."

She has been busy these days, experimenting with making soap again and again. Maybe the proportions are not right, and the soap she makes is not very good. She must not tell her father about this. It's just building a house, look how worried he is!

Lin Dashan's family was busy as hell, but the old house was dead silent.

After the New Year, the pastry business plummeted. The merchants at the dock had not yet started sailing, and most families in the city were living a tight life. After spending so much before the New Year, they would definitely cut back on their spending after the New Year. Who would buy such expensive food every day?

As for soybeans, all the skilled workers nearby have harvested them, so they are no longer available before the New Year, so my brother buys them from the city.

Mrs. Li sat in the main room sighing, how could she live without any income?

The second son came to her last night and said that he was going to send the two children to school in the next two days. From now on, apart from the monthly household allowance, he would keep all the earnings for himself.

Could she say no? Could she forbid her grandson from studying? Obviously not. From now on, the old couple could only rely on the second child.

She was really angry because she had no money and couldn't speak with dignity. The third child was preparing to build a house, and Song Shi was hinting that it was time for the fourth child to find a job and move out after the New Year.

Lao Si is also a man who is stuck in a rut. He stays in his room every day and never comes out to work.
