Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

How can someone who doesn't prepare gifts for his juniors have the qualifications to call himself an adult!

Lele was so frustrated by the question that he couldn't utter a word and sat down.

"Brother-in-law, it's just that sister can give as much as she wants!"

Ji's mother quickly pulled her little daughter, "Le Le!"

"Mother, the hairpin my sister gave Mingxi is worth ten thousand taels!" Lele threw away the insignificant sachet in her hand, "Why is this all I have?"

Ji's mother almost knelt down before the little ancestor. Ji's father felt that his second daughter shouldn't be compared like this, and that his eldest daughter was deliberately targeting Lele. He knew that his younger sister liked to compare herself with Mingxi. Last year, Wangshu even prepared a set of jewelry for his wife and Lele, as well as new clothes. This year, none of these were available...

"Any of you who don't want it can return it."

Looking at Qin Xiuyuan, who was aggressively protecting others, and Wangshu, who was sitting there with his legs crossed and looking nonchalant, Ji's father, mother, and Wang Shi truly felt what it meant to be disunited.

Our hearts are not in harmony, and now our faces are not in harmony either.

"Daddy." Mingxi timidly approached Qin Xiuyuan. She didn't understand why the atmosphere at home was so strange and tense recently. "I'm scared..."

Oh! Qin Xiuyuan's heart broke a little. He picked up his always bright daughter and said, "Don't be afraid! Daddy is talking about reason. Family members should not only talk about affection but also about reason."

"Stop arguing."

"...Okay. Daddy won't say anymore."

"Sister, Daddy didn't quarrel! It was Auntie who was wrong. Mommy said that no matter how much someone gives you, it's all in their heart!"

Yun Xiao pinched the small sachet and felt the small gold ingots. "When I grow up, I will prepare New Year gifts for Dad and Mom! Big gold ingots!"

Qin Xiuyuan now liked everything about his son. He was full of ambition and passion. Look, this was his good eldest son. "Good!"

The servants each received a golden bean, and were filled with joy! How many servants in the world could be so lucky as to receive a golden bean during the New Year?

Everyone in the kitchen looked at the golden beans in their hands, carefully put them back into the small cloth bag, and kept them close to their bodies. Qin Shi walked in at this moment, and Chun Yang went to greet him.

"Prepare the three animals and offer sacrifices in the ancestral hall in advance."

So soon? "Don't you want to eat?" The dishes had just arrived.

Qin Shi clasped his hands together and immediately separated them, as if to say goodbye.

Now that everything was said and no one was hungry and had nothing to say, they just stared at each other. Qin Xiuyuan simply asked his two children to write some small Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu". Wangshu, on the side, cracked melon seeds with one hand and flattened some meatballs with the other hand and threw them in front of the high stools of the mistresses.

The two little guys picked up the pieces as they were thrown away, and ate them until their teeth were gnashing and their eyes were gleaming with joy.

"Daddy, I want to dance for you and Mommy tonight."

"Dad, my sister dances so beautifully! She keeps doing this..."

"Brother, you are not allowed to tell! Secret~secret~" Mingxi was so anxious that the word "Fu" he wrote grew legs.

Qin Yunxiao covered his mouth and looked at me with a spoiler expression that said, "I've seen it, it's really good."

"Dad, I want to show you and Mom some somersaults and swordplay!"

"Okay, Dad is waiting!"

Here everyone was having a great time, as if it was Chinese New Year, while over there the Ji family's three members and Wang's mother and son were eating in silence.

Several crooked pieces of red paper with the word "Fu" written on them were pasted upside down on the strollers of the third and fourth children. The brother and sister each took a younger brother or sister who was just starting to learn to walk and walked slowly in the hall.

The reception in the front yard was over, and Ji Shou came in with a big belly, burping with every step he took. "Burp!"

"Hello, young lady... hello, uncle!"

Three elders? I didn’t see them!

Seeing Mingxi and Yunxiao's luxurious hairpins and belts, and then looking at Wangshu's earrings and bracelets, she felt that they were far behind. She sat down on the stool and touched her belly, "Miss, why don't you wear more precious jade!"

"Wear it tomorrow."

"I'll come and see it tomorrow."

After all, he had been drinking and had a bit of a big tongue. "Ji Shou, you should take a nap in the mansion."

"No, I'm going back to keep watch with my brothers..."

Wangshu arranged for someone to send him back.

"Don't drink so much next time."

Ji Shou spun around in circles, "When you're happy... you have to drink! I'm representing the young ladies, and they're all toasting me! I'm so happy! Burp!"

Another smell of alcohol came over.

The vegetables mixed with the meat, and the meat mixed with the wine, were stirred and fermented in the stomach until the taste of the mixture came straight to the body with a burp.

Wangshu accidentally took a sip and nearly fell over. It was more effective than a love potion. Qin Xiuyuan supported him, amused and angry, "You can't stand the smell, yet you're so close."

Tang Bo had Ji Shou sent back. He himself had drunk quite a bit, his face flushed red. "Several captains and shopkeepers were very eloquent and even sang songs to persuade people to drink... Shopkeeper Ji knew I was going on patrol, so he helped me drink quite a bit."

Both of them smelled stinky. Mingxi ran away, Yunxiao pinched his nose, and Qin Xiuyuan had no choice but to say, "Uncle Tang, take care of things and go get some rest."

When Mingxi returned to his seat, he made a new request, "Daddy, please don't drink!"

The woman and her daughter fainted from the fumes, and her son still complained about it. Qin Xiuyuan honestly said, "Daddy doesn't drink." and refused to drink.

A little later, when Qin Xiuyuan took the brother and sister to the small ancestral temple for the New Year's Eve sacrifice, Wangshu was guarding the children who had just changed into clean pants, and Ji's father and mother finally came over.

"Shushu, your father and I are thinking of moving to the next yard after the New Year."

Li Wanting and several children live next door.

"No need, we're moving out soon. You guys can stay here." The courtyard is clean, spacious and quiet.

"Ah, it's hard for my mother to see our family end up like this. But no matter what we do or say, it's wrong in your eyes. Your father and I don't know what to do..."

Wangshu found it funny. "You make clothes for me, help me take care of the kids, pick them up from school, and when others say I'm wrong I refute them. You say everything I do is right, and you're the best. You praise me and encourage me... Actually, you know how to do it, but you don't do it."

He placed Xiao San's beads in his palm, his eyes dry. "I've been waiting for you to come to Xiao San and help him string these beads... When you came, one by one, two by three, you told others about it, but you also told Qin Xiuyuan that I was not good in this way or that way, and persuaded him to take a concubine to have more children..."

Wang over there dropped her chopsticks in an instant.

Ji's mother quickly denied it, "Shushu, mother didn't say that nonsense!"

"Because you two are waiting." Wangshu shook his head, "Daddy, Mommy, don't treat me like a fool."

Ji's father and mother's faces turned pale in an instant.

Wangshu opened his mouth to breathe, looking at Lele, who was still looking at him with a bit of confusion, "Yunxiao, Mingxi has grown up. You are still a little immature. Don't you understand? They have the opportunity to be powerful and wealthy since they were born, but they still have to study and train hard. Even if Mingxi works hard to prepare for the show, Yunxiao has to keep up with the preparations..."

"Why? Because you can do it poorly, but you can't stop working hard, you can't stop doing it. If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. A person can only wait to be given something. So whether I want to give something and how much I want to give is up to me."

Xiao San tugged at her mother's sleeve to attract attention. Wangshu turned back to look at the child, "Nine out of a hundred people in Chang'an City, after working hard all year, haven't saved a single ounce of gold. Seven out of ten people can't even eat three dishes during the New Year."

"You can receive this little gold and have a good meal every day. What do you think is your reason?"
