I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

Lin Changting nodded, waved the whip in his hand and hurried back to Qingxi Village.

When Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting returned home, Lin Qingshan's family, Lu Yanzhou and others were all there.

Everyone was chatting lively in the main room. When they saw Lin Yunchu and the other person come back, everyone went out to help move all the things on the ox cart into the yard.

"Hurry, let the two children come in and warm up first. They must be freezing all the way back."

Old Mrs. Lu looked at the two people's faces which were red from the cold, and spoke to everyone with heartache, then turned sideways and waved to Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting.

Mother Lin also nodded and said, "Aunt is right. You two can go in and warm yourself by the fire first. We can take care of everything here."

Lin Changting and Lin Yunchu laughed, not wanting to disappoint everyone. It was indeed very cold on the way back, and their hands were now red with cold. So they did not insist on moving things and went straight into the house.

As soon as I entered the main room and saw the blazing fire, a feeling of warmth suddenly hit me and I felt much more comfortable in an instant.

Everyone in the Lin family followed Lin Yunchu in making dumplings a few times and learned how to do it. Now they didn't need Lin Yunchu to follow them and started kneading the dough directly.

Pan Xiuxiu went to the backyard to pick some cabbages. When Lin Yunchu went out in the morning, they had agreed that they would have meat and cabbage stuffing today.

Lin Changshun cut a large piece of meat, cleaned it and started chopping it...

Everyone had a clear division of labor, and soon the board was filled with round and plump dumplings that looked like gold ingots, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Changan, it's done. Start making a fire. Once the water boils, we can start cooking the dumplings."

Mother Lin smiled and gave instructions to Lin Changan who was standing beside her.

When Lin Changan heard that he could start cooking dumplings, he grinned and nodded repeatedly, then quickly lit a fire.

"Oh, these two kids are so cold! I'll add some more firewood."

Only Old Lady Lu, Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting were left in the room. Everyone else had gone to the kitchen to busy themselves. Looking at Lin Yunchu's little face, which was red from the cold, Old Lady Lu felt very distressed.

"Grandma Lu, I'm fine. It's just a little windy outside. We'll be fine after we warm up for a while."

Lin Yunchu rubbed his frozen hands and comforted Mrs. Lu with a smile.

She went into the house and sat for a while. She was now much warmer. Seeing Mrs. Lu's concerned tone, she couldn't help but comfort her.

With so many people around, things moved quickly. Soon, the hot dumplings were served and everyone in the room was eating happily.

While eating the dumplings in his bowl, Father Lin chatted with everyone, asking whether his eldest brother, Lu Yanzhou, and Father Pan's families were ready.

The weather is getting colder and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If the house is not well prepared, I will not be able to have a peaceful New Year.

Several people nodded while eating. Needless to say, Lin Qingshan's family had made a lot of money following Lin Yunchu this year, and their family now had enough food and daily necessities.

The Lu family only has Lu Yanzhou and Old Mrs. Lu. Lin Yunchu also helped them buy winter clothes and bedding.

Mr. Pan is looked after by Lin Changting and Pan Xiuxiu, so he really doesn't lack anything.

Father Lin nodded with relief. Last night, his family talked about what they were going to buy for the New Year. Today, he thought about it and asked a few more questions.

The Lin family's house was bustling with activity until it was almost dark, when everyone dispersed and Lin's mother closed the gate.

He turned around and went to the kitchen to boil some hot water, intending to let Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting soak their feet later. The two of them had been running to the town recently, and they couldn't let their hands and feet get frozen.

The night gradually darkened, and the cold wind was howling outside the Lin family's house. Because they were worried about making the hot pot base quickly, after soaking their feet, everyone in the Lin family went back to their houses to rest.

Two days later, Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting delivered the last batch of hot pot base to Yipintang, bought some meat, sugar, cakes and other things, and returned to Qingxi Village.

Not long after, Lin Yunchu also welcomed his first New Year's Eve after coming here.

After everyone in the Lin family got up early in the morning and had breakfast, they began to work busily.

After a thorough cleaning of the house inside and out, Lin Yunchu said he wanted to greet the new year with the best look possible.

Then they hung up the couplets and lanterns they had bought earlier, and it seemed that the Lin family finally had the joy of celebrating the New Year.

Lin Chang'an should be the happiest person. His house was tidy and he was wearing new clothes and new shoes that his mother had just made for him two days ago.

The family prepared a lot of meat and vegetables, and even some pastries from the town. This was truly the happiest New Year's Eve he had ever had in his life.

In the past, his family was poor and there was not much food. He had to rely on the food rations saved by the Lin family every day so that he could barely eat half full. He didn't even have winter clothes to keep warm.

Every day we can only rely on burning firewood at home to keep warm and we can't go out of the house at all.

Today, he was wearing new clothes and new shoes, with a few candies in his pocket. He had gone to play with pillars and stones and came back to meet several other children from the village.

Seeing his eyes full of envy, this was something he had never dared to think about before.

After noon, the Lin family's yard began to get busy: killing chickens, washing vegetables, slaughtering fish, steaming rice... The whole yard was bustling with activity, and everyone was doing their own work.

Everyone had a smile on their face. This year, the Lin family had the most perfect New Year's Eve. The Lin family's life had also gotten better. Lin Changting and Pan Xiuxiu got married. It seemed that everything was moving in a good direction, and their lives were getting better and better.

In Qingxi Village, not only the Lin family, but other families have also become busy. Even those who are poorer will clean their homes to welcome the coming new year.

After a while, the aroma of food wafted through the Lin family's yard. Tonight was New Year's Eve, and Lin Yunchu was the chef, with Lin's mother and Pan Xiuxiu helping her.

Seeing the two of them trying to refuse, Lin Yunchu didn't refuse. He put on an apron and started working.

After a while, a table full of food was served one after another, including braised fish, cabbage rolls with meat, braised spare ribs, spicy stir-fried mushrooms, chestnut stewed chicken, and crispy tofu.

The table was filled with sumptuous food, and the house was filled with the aroma of food.

"Wow, it smells so good."

Lin Changan raised his head and took two breaths towards the dining table, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart that it was really great to celebrate the New Year.

Everyone was at home, and every day was lively and bustling. Not only was there meat to eat, but there was also candy and cakes. Every time he went out, he was the envy of the children in the village.
