The young couple from the farm fights back

Time flies in the blink of an eye. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. In the morning, Zhou Chunfeng and Dashuan went to the town to buy red paper and firecrackers for writing couplets, as well as crispy candies for the children, and bought the usual New Year gifts for farmers.

Jiang Li was busy making a set of New Year's clothes for each of her children. In the main room, the kang was heated, and Jing'er and An'er were playing on it, while Que'er and Heng'er were diligently practicing calligraphy at the table in front.

In the late afternoon, when I was finishing the stitches on the last piece of clothing, I heard the sound of an oxcart's wheels outside the courtyard gate.

Jiang Li put away her sewing basket and said to the children, "Brother Heng and Brother Que, stay in the room and look after your younger brother."

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, aunt." Que Ge'er put down his pen and ink, stood up and walked to the kang, taking on the responsibility of looking after the child.

Opening the gate, Jiang Li saw Zhou Chunfeng carrying two big grass carps from the ox cart. It was really rare to see fish at this time of year.

She took it and said, "But the road is blocked by heavy snow?"

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and said, "Well, there's a small section with heavy snow, so we have to go slowly."

Otherwise, how could he come back after three or four hours?

Dashuan helped to take down the red paper and firecrackers and said, "Sister-in-law, my mother said she would come to our house for a reunion dinner tomorrow."

Hearing this, the couple smiled at each other. Jiang Li said, "It's not good to go to someone's house for a free meal on New Year's Eve. Let's take the children there on the third day of the New Year to celebrate the New Year."

Dashuan thought so too. Of course, his elder brother and his wife would have the reunion dinner at home with the children. "Okay, I'll talk to my parents later."

Zhou Chunfeng glanced at Dashuan calmly and said, "Come over tomorrow morning to get the couplets."

"Okay, big brother." In the past, they had to go to the town to buy couplets every year, and a pair would cost twenty coins. This year, Brother Zhou helped them write them, saving them a lot of copper coins.

Zhou Chunfeng bought a lot of things today. In addition to red paper firecrackers and crispy candies, he also bought two jars of wine, fish, fresh ribs and pork belly, as well as dried goods.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Li dressed the children in new clothes and took them to the yard to watch the red firecrackers set off outside the door.

With a crackling sound, firecrackers and red paper flew everywhere, like bright plum blossoms falling onto the snow-white ground in the thick fog, creating a festive atmosphere for the New Year.

Little Aowu was first startled by the sound of firecrackers, and he raised his neck and roared at the sky, then he jumped happily around Jiang Li and the child.

Que Ge'er hugged Heng Ge'er and Jing Ge'er in each hand. Even though he was frightened by the sound of firecrackers and couldn't open his eyes, he still remembered to protect his two younger brothers in his arms.

But An Ge'er was in Jiang Li's arms, with his big round eyes open, looking at his father who was lighting firecrackers in front of the door, giggling, not afraid at all.

After setting off firecrackers, the family happily went into the kitchen to have a reunion dinner.

Jiang Li made the pot tonight. She killed a chicken as the base, sliced a grass carp, chopped two pieces of pork ribs, and broke off half a cabbage and a white radish.

The family of six happily gathered around the pot, laughing. The children were satisfied with the meal. Zhou Chunfeng and Jiang Li had to drink half a bowl to celebrate their first New Year together here.

In his spare time, Zhou Chunfeng made a baby seat for Ang'er. The little guy now cries for food, and Jiang Li and Zhou Chunfeng keep stuffing meat into his mouth.

Jingge'er ate a piece of rice and did not forget to give half a piece to Aowu who was waiting to be fed on the ground. Among the brothers, Jingge'er and Aowu had the closest relationship.

Que Ge'er and Heng Ge'er ate very quietly. Jiang Li knew that Que Ge'er still didn't dare to pick up vegetables, so he often put meat into his bowl.

"Don't just eat the rice, or it will go bad tomorrow."

Que Ge'er was grateful in his heart, and tried his best to suppress the moisture in his eyes, and nodded: "Yes, aunt."

I think the child misses his parents. It's a festive season, so how could he not miss them?

Zhou Chunfeng is not good at communicating with children. On the surface, he looks like a strict father, but he is actually an elder who takes care of children's emotions. He silently put a piece of pork ribs into the bowls of Heng Ge'er and Que Ge'er.

"Thank you, Dad." Heng Ge'er smiled politely at his father.

Que Ge'er was flattered and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, uncle."

Zhou Chunfeng nodded, and saw Jing Ge'er holding up the bowl with both hands: "Jing Ge'er wants it, Daddy's meat~"

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing. Zhou Chunfeng glanced at his second son who loved eating, and gave him the biggest piece of chicken thigh.

"Meat~, meat~"

I don’t want to see the baby in the baby seat learning to speak.

Zhou Chunfeng: ...

Jiang Li: ...

As expected, having many children is not only noisy, but also a bit troublesome.

The first day of the new year in the twenty-fourth year of Chenghua in Daqing.

The children all got up early. Que Ge'er and Heng Ge'er brought Jing Ge'er to Zhou Chunfeng and Jiang Li. The couple sat in the chairs at the top, and Jiang Li held her youngest son in her arms.

Heng Ge'er first took his younger brother to sit on the cushion in front of his parents, and knelt down to wish them a happy new year in an orderly manner.

Heng'er is the eldest brother. Although he had never been so serious about wishing his parents a happy new year in the past few years, when his mother said that there would be red envelopes for the New Year greetings, the little brother cleverly bowed with both hands and said, "Heng'er wishes his parents a happy new year."

It was his brother Que Ge'er who whispered in his ear "Happy New Year."

Jing Ge'er looked at his elder brother beside him in confusion, blinking and stammering: "Daddy, Mommy, good luck~"

Oh my~, this is really a headache for his little head.

Jiang Li couldn't help but pursing her lips and laughing. Zhou Chunfeng suppressed the curve of his lips, pretending to be a strict father, and picked up the two red envelopes on the table.

"Good, Happy New Year."

Heng Ge'er took the red envelope handed to him by his father with both hands: "Thank you very much, father and mother."

Jing Ge'er happily took the bright red envelope, curious about what was inside: "Thank you, thank you, Dad, Mom."

Jiang Li nodded and said, "Get up."

"Yes." Heng Ge'er lifted the hem of his shirt and helped Jing Ge'er stand up together with one hand.

Then it was Que Ge'er's turn. The child took two steps forward, knelt on the mat, and kowtowed heavily to Zhou Chunfeng and Jiang Li.

"Brother Que wishes my uncle and aunt a new year with a new look, and may every year be prosperous."

The couple looked at each other in surprise at the congratulations coming from a child who was almost seven years old.

Before this, they knew that Que Ge'er had already started learning calligraphy and had a basic understanding of the Book of Songs. They thought that the elders in the family were also cultivating this child with all their heart.

However, the words "uncle" and "aunt" did not surprise Zhou Chunfeng and Jiang Li.

Addressing them this way is more intimate than addressing them as uncle and aunt, which shows that the child regards them as his adoptive parents from the bottom of his heart. He is a smart and thoughtful kid who is grateful for their help and upbringing.

Zhou Chunfeng picked up the red envelope and handed it to him: "Okay, from now on, your uncle and aunt also wish you everything goes well in the future, everything is safe and sound, and you get what you want."

Que Ge'er kowtowed again in gratitude and took the red envelope with both hands: "Que Ge'er, I will never forget your kindness in this life."

Jiang Li felt relieved: "Okay, get up."

"Yes, aunt."

Looking at the three children in front of them, the couple couldn't help but smile with relief.

Ang'er, who had stopped playing with his saliva bubbles, babbled and grinned at his father: "Okay, Daddy~ Daddy~ Okay~."

It was obvious that Zhou Chunfeng was amused by the boy. He stuffed the last red envelope into the little guy's hand and said, "Take it."

"Okay, okay." Ang'er happily clenched the red seal and put it in his mouth to bite.

Jiang Li is really: ...
