Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

When they saw Gu Yanli return carrying three wild ducks, everyone in the room stood up.

This stop wasn't to pay tribute to him, but simply because everyone was shocked.

"Yan Li, where did you catch him?" Gu Jinfeng asked.

Gu Yanli glanced down at the wild ducks he was carrying, and said calmly, "I didn't catch them. The snow was so heavy that they didn't have time to move their nests and froze. I picked them up."

Wen Tang and Chi Yue immediately exchanged a glance, and they both saw the same thing in each other's eyes: Is this the male lead's luck?

Wen Tang: Suddenly I don't feel like working hard anymore. I want to tie Gu Yanli up and go treasure hunting everywhere.

Along the way, wherever he stopped, I started digging.

Gu Yanli didn't receive any praise from his wife; instead, he saw her eyes darting around, as if she were deep in thought.

Gu Jinfeng went over and took the wild duck from his hands, while Lin Jiaojiao took the basket and emptied all the duck eggs from his pockets.

"What are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing the voice, Wen Tang replied without hesitation, "I want to take you treasure hunting with me."

Gu Yanli “…”

Going treasure hunting is not a problem, but why are you tied up?

What is the meaning of "tying something up while searching for it"?

Isn't that a dog?

He raised an eyebrow. "Am I a dog?"

Thinking this through, Gu Yanli asked the question.

Wen Tang "..."

"Huh?" She looked up. "I... I didn't. When did I say that?" After Wen Tang finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her hand and patted it lightly.

I think it's talking nonsense.

"What can be used to tether someone to treasure hunting?" She denied it, so Gu Yanli asked again.

"Oh, that... I mean, I wanted to take something with me while treasure hunting."

As Wen Tang spoke, her eyes darted around, and she lightly swept her hand across him, "How can you lead someone on a treasure hunt? Heh, really."

Gu Yanli nodded. "It seems my hearing is already bad at such a young age."

Wen Tang nodded naturally, "That's right."

Even so, Wen Tang still looked at the person expectantly and said, "How about we go for a walk in the woods sometime?"

Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow again.

Wen Tang quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, no... it's not what you think."

Gu Yanli smiled and said, "Oh, so what am I thinking?"

Wen Tang was busy with her left and right hands, saying, "Well... you know, it's so cold now, I don't dare think about that kind of thing!"

Gu Yanli “…”

She really dares to speak her mind!

Fortunately, everyone was busy taking care of the three wild ducks, otherwise...

"Ahem," Wen Tang's bold statement left her unscathed. It was Gu Yanli's face, frozen by the snow, that turned red.

Hearing his cough, Wen Tang patted him on the shoulder in a very mature manner.

He was signaling to calm down.

Gu Yanli: I can't stay calm at all!

Gu Yanli does indeed possess some of the luck of a male protagonist.

The next day, after the snow stopped, he went out for a stroll again and actually found two pheasants and a large gray rabbit, which weighed several pounds.

Looking at the small animals that had frozen unconscious and were about to turn into meat, Wen Tang couldn't help but say, "Why don't you go for a walk somewhere a little further away?"

Are there any mountains around here?

"We don't want forests, we want mountains."

Why the mountains? Because wild boars roam the mountains.

Wen Tang thought that with Gu Yanli's protagonist luck, he would definitely encounter wild boars. If he could catch one, it would be a really big year for him.

Gu Yanli told her regretfully, "This is a land of fish and rice. If you want to find a lake or something, it's easy to find. But mountains are not so easy to find."

Wen Tang also lamented, "What a missed opportunity!"

"How about I take you to a place with mountains?" Gu Yanli asked.

Wen Tang asked in surprise, "Are you really going treasure hunting?"

Gu Yanli looked at her with a half-smile.

Wen Tang quickly changed her tune, "Hey, even if I'm craving wild game, I can't make you buy train tickets, right?"

"Besides, tomorrow is the Lunar New Year, and Mom and the others won't agree, don't you think?"

That night, Gu Yanli pinned Wen Tang down on the bed and asked, "Is your dog any good?"

Wen Tang conceded, "Brother, don't do this, I'm not used to it."

Gu Yanli “…”

He saw that she was very comfortable with him.

"Call me husband," Gu Yanli gently patted the man's bottom.

Wen Tang said helplessly, "Call me husband? I'm a decent person too, I can't do this kind of thing."

Gu Yanli “…”

Wen Tang: I'll make you hold a grudge.

Gu Yanli realized that in some ways, he was indeed a greenhorn in front of Wen Tang, and that time could not change that.

Unable to win the game, Gu Yanli could only lower his head and gag the person.

The snow has stopped, and New Year's Eve was a bright and sunny day, as if the chill after the snow had been dispelled.

That day, Wen Tang and Chi Yue didn't sleep in either; they woke up around 7 a.m.

Because Zhong Meixian had told her a day in advance, "Tang, Xiaoyue, you two should get up early tomorrow so you can tidy up the house and put up the couplets."

"Fry those melon seeds and peanuts again, and we'll eat them after the New Year."

Wen Tang and Chi Yue both nodded.

They don't want to be manipulated, but they're definitely not the type to act recklessly.

It's Chinese New Year, and everyone gets up early, but they stayed in bed until noon, which is really inappropriate.

Even though Wen Tang didn't get up late, by the time she did, Gu Yanli had already washed all of yesterday's dirty clothes.

After breakfast, Gu Jinfeng and her daughter Zhong Meixian started frying peanuts and melon seeds, and they fried a whole pot of peanuts.

We had to buy sunflower seeds, so we roasted a small bowl of them.

Lin Jingshen and Lin Liansheng took out the red paper they had bought, cut it with scissors, and prepared ink, so that Lin Jingshen could start writing couplets.

Lin Jingshen is a teacher, and he writes calligraphy quite well.

Before they could even finish writing their own, people from the Gu family started coming to their door with red paper.

Many people nowadays have never been to school and are illiterate.

Even those who can read cannot write couplets.

Therefore, this couplet needs to be written by someone else.

You have to pay someone else to write it, so people usually ask someone they know nearby to do it.

If it's written by an acquaintance, just give them some things.

Many people were carrying two eggs, while others had a bunch of vegetables or two radishes—basically, things they already had at home. No one was empty-handed.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue, holding freshly roasted melon seeds, watched the commotion from the kitchen doorway.

Just then, a young woman came running into the kitchen, carrying a child in one arm and a piece of red paper in the other.

She called out "Auntie" as she entered the kitchen.

Gu Jinfeng also stopped what she was doing. "Xiao Hui is here!"

The girl who was called Xiaohui smiled shyly, "Yes, Auntie is busy!"

Gu Jinfeng smiled and nodded, "Let's fry some peanuts," and grabbed a handful of freshly fried peanuts. "Xiao Hui, come and have a taste."

Wang Xiaohui looked at her left and right hands and shook her head. "No, Auntie, I..." She looked around, as if she wanted to find a place to put down the red paper in her hand.

Seeing this, Wen Tang quickly clapped her hands, "Let me help you hold the baby!"

Although Wang Xiaohui already had a child, Wen Tang could tell from her demeanor that this girl was not very old, perhaps even younger than her and Chi Yue.
