Female-to-male: I live on farming

Lu Youqing also asked Nan Qiao to bring her mother to the Qin residence to celebrate the New Year. Anyway, there were only the two of them at home, and it would be lonely, so they might as well come together to join in the fun.

"Ahem..." Qin Ke stood up with a glass of wine in his hand, looked around at everyone, and said, "As the head of the Qin family, let me say a few words. This is the first Spring Festival we have spent together. Thank you all for working with me in the past year. This is why we have the Qin family today. I wish you all have this day every year."

Qin Ke spoke briefly and to the point. He didn't want to talk for a long time in a long and eloquent manner, as that would be annoying.

In his previous life, he hated it most when leaders talked endlessly during meetings. They would talk for a long time about trivial matters, and would talk for a long time about things that could be solved in a few words.

Everyone stood up, raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Smoke rose from the dining table, and the aroma of delicious food filled the air, making people salivate. People toasted each other, tasted delicious food, and chatted about daily life. The house was suddenly bustling with activity.

Even Lu Youqing drank a few glasses of wine, but she has always been restrained and only drank a few glasses before stopping.

The tradition of staying up all night on New Year's Eve is an ancient one that originated from the fear of a ferocious monster called "Nian".

It is said that the Nian monster would come out to attack humans on New Year's Eve every year. In order to drive away the Nian monster, people began to choose to stay up all night, keep the lights on all night to dispel darkness and evil.

In order to pass the time, Qin Ke took out mahjong. Li Nanqiao had played mahjong with his wife when they were in Jinzhou, so he roughly understood how to play mahjong.

Han Qi and Lei Zhong refused to play, so Qin Ke had to sit down and play with them. Pei Xiu was smart. After listening to Lu Youqing's brief introduction to the rules and playing with them for a while, she was able to get the hang of it.

Qin Ke still remembers his wife's ability to remember cards at a photographic memory. She learned how to cheat without any instruction after just a few games in Jinzhou. However, his principle is to make his wife happy.

They don't play big games, just a few coins at most, and they play mainly for fun.

At the beginning, it was obvious that Lu Youqing was the winner of the game, but after playing two rounds, Qin Ke noticed that his wife started to let them win twice.

Qin Ke was secretly shocked.

She learned too quickly. She first quickly mastered the skills of chess and cards, and then began to show her high emotional intelligence and started to let everyone win, so that everyone had some wins and some losses, leaving enough face for everyone else.

First count the cards, then count the people.

His wife was really born to be in official circles.

Qin Ke was proud of it, but he felt that he was not good enough for this kind of thing. Compared with working in official circles, he preferred to do research.

Research does not require contact with so many people, nor does it take so many twists and turns. In fact, the most important thing is that he received more than 20 years of education in modern times, and his concepts and living habits were basically fixed, which means that he was not acclimatized to this dynasty.

For example, when he met Her Royal Highness the Princess, his posture and eyes showed no respect at all. According to the laws of this dynasty, he would be considered disrespectful. Fortunately, the Princess was not the kind of person who would quibble.

He likes to treat people around him as companions, colleagues or subordinates at work, rather than slaves. A true noble family would never regard slaves as human beings, let alone eat at the same table with them.

So now, many times before he does something, he will ask Lu Youqing for her opinion, or he will put forward an idea and ask her how to solve it or how to do it. She is the glue between him and this era.

There are winners and losers in playing mahjong, and no one present is the type to care about such small amounts of money. Overall, the game was enjoyable, and the time spent on vigil did not seem that long.

It was not until midnight that everyone dispersed.

……

After the New Year, they began to gradually arrange for the family to move. This is different from their descendants. If they want to go to a faraway place, they can get it done with just a suitcase and a train ticket or a plane ticket.

The roads in ancient times were all dirt roads. Although they were compacted, they would be ruined if they encountered snow or rain. There were also no supply points along the way. He couldn't be stupid enough to just carry rice and vegetables on the road, as they were heavy and took up space to transport.

When going out, everything is based on convenience. Although Qin Ke has the cheating artifact of space, there are many people on the road and if he is accidentally discovered, he will definitely be regarded as a demon. If it were just him and Lu Youqing, they could travel light.

He could only prepare his luggage carefully and put the valuables into the space.

Qin Ke asked Lei Zhong, and he said that when they were escorting goods before, they often carried a kind of food called "Qiu".

Qin Ke bought one to try. It was actually a cake made by frying rice or flour, adding water and mashing it, then kneading it into a block and drying it. Although this kind of thing is easy to carry and very durable in storage, the taste is really not good.

He didn't want to have to eat only these things on the road, so he started thinking about making some pork jerky. He loved eating this kind of snack very much in his previous life, so he asked Lei Zhong to bring people to build an oven next to the kitchen.

Add the mashed pork into the seasoning and mix it. It is a laborious job without a blender. Fortunately, there are many idle people in his family, so everyone comes together to help.

Then flatten the mixed meat paste with a rolling pin, brush a layer of honey on it, and finally bake it in the oven.

Since he had an oven, he simply baked some biscuits. The making process of biscuits was much easier than pork jerky, so he didn't make too much, thinking that it would be enough for them to eat.

Lu Youqing was not idle either. While Qin Ke was responsible for getting the dry food, she was responsible for customizing the carriage and buying more horses. She also packed and stored the important books in the study. Fortunately, the two of them had only moved in for half a year and did not have too much luggage.

They worked hard for more than a month, and in mid-February, they were ready to set off.

After loading all the luggage onto the carriage and locking the doors and windows of the house, Qin Ke held Lu Youqing's hand and looked at the home where they had lived for more than half a year. He felt a little reluctant to leave. After all, this was the home he had designed and built bit by bit.

"Let's go." Qin Ke retracted his gaze and tightened his hand around Lu Youqing. No matter what the future held, at least this person would always be by his side.

For him, that was enough.

The weather in February is still very cold, with a slight chill that penetrates into the skin and bones, bringing a slight chill.

Their group of five carriages left Qinghe Village in a mighty procession. Qin Ke and Lu Youqing's carriage was in the middle, Han Qi and Lei Zhong were walking in the front with Liu Yue and the others, and at the end were Li Nanqiao and her mother.
