Village chief Lin didn't say anything, but just asked Lin Qingchu to send Lin Qingmin and Lin Qingmin to the door. After leaving his uncle's house, Jiang Bin and Lin Qingmin walked back.

At the Lin family's side, Old Man Lin and his family were discussing the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. This was their first reunion dinner in the new Linjia Village and it was of great significance.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the year, and we can have some fun. This year has been full of troubles and a lot of things have happened. It's better to turn bad times into good times."

Aunt Lin smiled and said that even if the family hired servants, she wouldn't have to do anything. It was just like the old saying that so many things had happened to them on the way to escape famine, and those who survived a disaster would surely have good fortune in the future.

She will be looking forward to enjoying the happiness of her children in the future, and when a few of them get married, she will be looking forward to taking care of her great-grandchildren.

"Yes, take out all those good things. The children have worked hard. Let the kitchen make some delicious food tomorrow. By the way, Xue girl, what vegetables did you buy today?"

Old Man Lin looked at Lin Qingxue. He knew that his granddaughter's treasure had a lot of vegetables planted in it, but he didn't know if they could be eaten.

"Grandpa, some dishes are not suitable for eating at this time. If you want to eat them, we can only eat them in private. Why don't we make a hot pot and blanch some vegetables?" Lin Qingxue replied with a smile.

She thought that if she wanted to make hot pot, she would take some vegetables out of the space, including various leafy vegetables, and then slice some beef, mutton and pork belly. The sheep raised in the space were almost ready to eat.

"I think it's okay," Uncle Lin agreed without waiting for old man Lin to speak. He had never eaten hot pot before!

No, it should be said that he has never eaten such hot pot!

Hearing Uncle Lin's words, Aunt Lin and Mrs. Lin also smiled and said yes. Old Man Lin naturally did not refuse. Since everyone agreed, how could he do something to spoil the fun!

Seeing that everyone agreed to eat hot pot, Lin Qingxue naturally smiled and said yes. Only when you are full and well-fed can you have the energy to work, right? There is still so much land in the space waiting for everyone to plant!

The next day, Qingchu and Qingxun took ten young men from the village and drove ten ox carts to the city. Lin Qingming and his brothers had already made preparations in the city. They just waited for Lin Qingchu and his friends to arrive. Then they worked together to load the food onto the carts, and then drove the ox carts back to the village to distribute the food to the villagers.

In the village, every household was sitting on the kang in their main hall waiting for the food to be delivered and then distributed. They waited until noon.

Since the Lin family hired servants, the reunion dinner was naturally prepared by the cook. All Lin Qingxue and the others had to do was to take Lin Xiaoshan and his brothers to paste the word "Fu" and couplets on the doors and windows, and hang red lanterns.

With this decoration, the Lin family felt more festive and everyone felt a little sweeter.

After everything was arranged, it was time for lunch. The lunch dishes were quite rich. After all, there were many people in the Lin family, and if there were fewer dishes, there would not be enough to eat.

After lunch, Old Man Lin and his younger generations had just moved to the front hall and sat down when they heard the voices of Lin Qingming and others.

Immediately afterwards, the three couples of Lin Qingming's brothers and Jiang Bin walked in from outside. Seeing that their grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law, whom they had longed for for a long time, had returned, Mrs. Lin and others were very excited.

"You've lost weight, you've lost weight. Don't you eat well in the city? You have to eat no matter how busy you are," Mrs. Lin said with a sob. In fact, Lin Qingming and the others did not lose weight. On the contrary, they were in good spirits because the food restaurant was doing a booming business.

But there is a kind of thinness in this world, which is called grandma thinks you are thin.

"Yes, you have lost weight. Eldest wife, second wife, third wife, you have all worked hard," Aunt Lin said with tears in her eyes as she looked at Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law. The pity and love in her tone was very obvious.

"We are not thin, grandma. We eat well in the city and have become a lot stronger," Lin Qingming said with a smile.

"Yes! Grandma, how are you at home? Don't be reluctant to use the things I buy for you," Lin Qingbai also said. His family had no shortage of money, so naturally they should spend it as they saw fit, and not be reluctant to use anything like before.

Lin Qingran didn't say anything, just stood by and watched everyone. After the family chatted for a while, Old Man Lin asked about food.

"Grandpa, uncle, the grain we bought for the village has been sent to my great-uncle's place. My cousins ​​Qing and Qingxun should be distributing the grain to everyone right now. We've already brought back the grain we bought for ourselves, and Jiang Bin is unloading it with his men."

Lin Qingming looked at Old Man Lin and told everyone what happened when they came here today. The food they bought for their own consumption was naturally mostly fine grains, so they were not put together with the food in the village.

"That's good. Is there enough food for the villagers? How's the situation in the city?" Uncle Lin asked worriedly. He was worried that the children were not living well in the city and would only report good news and not bad news when they returned home.

"Everything is fine in the city. The imperial city is under the feet of the emperor. The wind and rain outside cannot affect the people living in the imperial city. Most of the food we bought this time is coarse grains, which will last the villagers two or three months," Lin Qingran pondered for a while before speaking in a low voice.

The others heard his words without saying anything, especially Lin Qingming and his friends. Although they had lived in the city for a while, they did not go around and stayed in the shop to work every day.

As for Lin Qingran himself, he was in charge of the cashier at the counter. He had seen all kinds of people and heard a lot of gossip. Naturally, he had a general idea of ​​the character of most people in the imperial city.

"As long as there is enough food, coarse grains are cheap," Old Man Lin nodded and said nothing more.

The family chatted for a while, and then Uncle Lin took Lin Qingming and his brothers to dig a cellar. The older ones like Lin Xiaoshan were also called to help.

Lin Qingxue and other female family members did not get involved in digging the cellar. The wind and snow outside were getting stronger and stronger. Before dark, Lin Qingchu brought the silver for the villagers to buy food.

We had hotpot for the reunion dinner in the evening. As time passed, the aroma of hotpot wafted out of the kitchen.

Soon, dinner was ready, and the group moved to the restaurant for dinner. The Lin family members sat around the table with a steaming hot pot in the middle. The soup in the pot was boiling, emitting an enticing aroma.

Lin Qingxue looked at the juicy green leafy vegetables on the table. The beef, mutton and pork belly were also cut into thin slices and neatly arranged on the plates. Everyone looked at the table full of food with anticipation in their eyes.

"This hot pot looks delicious. It's best to eat hot food in winter," Aunt Lin said with a smile, her eyes full of love and pity for Lin Qingxue.

Uncle Lin also smiled and nodded, "Yes, we must try these delicious foods today. It's always good if the city people like it. Let's all eat! Don't be polite tonight."

As he spoke, he first picked up a piece of beef and put it into the pot. After boiling it for a few times, he picked it up and put it in Old Man Lin's bowl. Then, he boiled some meat slices for Mrs. Lin and Aunt Lin.
