Chapter 302: Prosperity of People, Prosperity of Family

king, and it's about Zhang Lao Shenyi.The old man was quite lively. He usually lived with six others, including Uncle Zhao, and the Li family took good care of him, providing for his meals and clothin...Before the city gate closed, Li Laoer and his son hurried back to Suijin Beach.

Their family was waiting for them to eat. Hearing that the courtyard had been bought and Mr. Wen had settled down, the old woman was overjoyed. "Mr. Wen is too polite. He didn't say anything when he needed help. If we had known about his situation, we would have helped him long ago. Going from the inn to court, it's probably just him alone."

Everyone also nodded.

In a few days, let's go and take a look. We should add some more things to the courtyard, right Mr. Wen only has Wen Hai by his side, so he might not be able to take care of everything well enough.

"Okay, bring some of the things from home like meat sauce, salted vegetables, turnips, cabbage, and smoked rabbit."

"Should we also bring two sets of bedding"

"Still, let's make two new sets. They can't be too thin either. It's not really warm out yet, and there are no kang beds in the city, so the bed is also cold."

"The bedding is probably not enough for two sets, in a few days we will also go into the city to see the lights, and we'll have to stay overnight then."

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru both felt that they needed to prepare a lot of things as they talked more.

The two sisters-in-law were busy all day, tidying up a lot of things before going to bed.

We've listed everything we need to buy, and there’s a list for each item.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Shangyuan Festival.

According to tradition, after the Shangyuan Festival, the Lunar New Year is considered truly over. Every household gets busy with their livelihood for the new year and there's no time left for playing around.

So, on the day of Shangyuan Festival, men, women and children all seem to want to seize the last bit of madness and have a good time.

After noon, the streets of Xindu were bustling with people, incredibly lively.

The Li family entrusted their courtyard to the villagers and took a carriage into the city.

The elderly couple who originally lived in the house has moved out. Since their nephew doesn't live too close, it was inconvenient to move, so many household items and wooden furniture were left behind.

Mr. Wen, taking charge, gave them ten taels of silver and they all stayed behind.

So, this yard has turned into a ready-to-move-in situation.

Before Li La Er ran twice, he had sent bedding and grain and vegetables, etc. Now, he truly lacked nothing.

Mr. Wen still lives in the wing room, even after his elderly parents moved out, he did not move to the main house.

And because the Li family was coming, he even brought Wen Hai along and specially cleaned both the main hall and the west wing.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru accompanied the old woman to take a look around the front and back yards, then they were busy cooking dinner.

The old woman brought her grandchildren and opened the back door to let them play in the doorway.

Sun Fu's family had a good relationship with the Li family. As soon as Sun Fu's daughter-in-law heard about it, she immediately opened the door and came out to greet them with smiles and pleasantries.

Neighbors both left and right heard the commotion and came out one after another to get a look.

Hearing that the Li family was from Suijin Beach, someone asked if the hot springs were really hot enough to cook eggs. Others inquired if Suijin Beach still planted jade melons and golden fruits this year.

The old woman chuckled and agreed. She also inquired about where to buy vegetables cheaply nearby and which grocery store had a good reputation.

As everyone listened, they felt that the Li family was getting along very well. Soon, they started chatting and laughing together.

When the Lord arrived with Ye Shan, the old lady was telling her neighbors about the chaos and disorder during the relocation of the capital, which caused everyone to sigh.

Maoge and several mischievous boys were playing together, while Ligere accompanied Jiaren in entertaining Lei Bolin who had rushed over upon hearing the news. As for Jiahuan, he was nowhere to be seen, probably "exploring" somewhere nearby!

Jiayin snuggled in her grandmother's arms, smiling as she listened to the elders chatting. She occasionally yawned.

Upon discovering that the Marquis had arrived, she happily ran up to greet him, "Father!"

The Marquis crouched down, scooped her up in his arms, and asked with a smile, “Did you get impatient After dinner, we’ll set off.”

"Great!" Jia Yin excitedly hugged her godfather's neck.

Even the little cat came over and tugged at the lord's robe.

Then, the Lord held one in his arms and led another by the hand to the front door to greet his mother-in-law, “Aunt, am I late”

"No, Hongying and the others are cooking. We'll leave after we eat." The old woman introduced to the many new neighbors, "This is my nephew. He's busy usually and doesn't come over often. If anything happens in the future, please look after him a little more. After the fruits in our orchard are harvested, I will send you some as a thank you gift."

The neighbors all smiled and said, “That’s great! For the sake of the fruit, we have to help each other out.”

At this time, Jiāhuān ran out to greet, “Grandma, it’s time to eat.”

The old woman got up, bid farewell to her neighbors, and took a group of grandchildren home for dinner.

Neighbors all watched with envious sighs.

A thriving population is a good thing, life is bustling and lively.

Lei Bolin had long heard from Jia Ren that the home-cooked meals were delicious. This time, when Jia Ren invited him, he mustered his courage and walked in.

Sun Fu's daughter-in-law saw this and wanted to greet her nephew, but Sun Fu pulled her away.

Their family bought a new yard and came into town for a visit, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were delighted, they made six dishes and one soup, and steamed white rice.

The whole family, including the Marquis and Ye Shan, as well as Zhang Shenyi who came to play, and Lei Bolin, altogether over a dozen people, filled two tables.

Li La Er's several brothers accompanied the Lord and Mr. Wen, Dr. Zhang and others sitting together, adding an extra pot of wine.

Rebolin was drooling with every bite, praising it endlessly, which made everyone laugh.

After dinner, he had a light snack. It was getting dark outside, so Rebolin bid farewell and went home to his parents to watch the lanterns together.

The Li family was also planning to set out, but with too many children at home, the grandmother made some last-minute arrangements.

Li Lao'er and Jia Ren were bringing Li Ge along, Li Lao San's family of four was bringing Mao Ge'er, and Li Lao Si and his wife were bringing Jia An to accompany the old woman.

And Jia Yin would definitely follow the Marquis, with Ye Shan accompanying her.

As for Master Zhang, he had already left long ago. There is no need for everyone to worry about the old master's safety.

Think about the rabbits and goats that were killed in the village these past few months, even the piglets! This old man is lucky he isn't harming others!

The Lord had booked a private room at the largest restaurant on the commercial street in advance, right in the middle of the lantern market.

The young and old arrived, pushed open the window, and were greeted by a breathtaking view of lanterns illuminating every street.

The children were very lively, after eating snacks, they went downstairs to play.

Soon, only the Marquis, the old lady, and Jia Yin were left in the house. Ye Shan guarded the door.

The old woman was also seeing such a prosperous street scene for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Back in the north, I never knew there were such beautiful places in the world. I thought that mountains covered in snow during winter was already beautiful enough! It's important to go out and see the world. Only then will we realize how wonderful our Tianwu is!"

Jia Yin leaned out the window, straining to see what was outside. The Lord Hou worried she might fall, so he held her waist and replied with a smile, "When things settle down, I'll take your aunt and Fu Niu on a year or two-year journey to travel around our beautiful Tianwu mountains and rivers!"

The old woman quickly waved her hand, "You'd better take Funiu. This old bones of mine doesn't want to be tossed around anymore. I was tossed from the grasslands to Junyang, and then from Junyang here, half my life is gone. Now, all I hope is that everyone will be well and live a peaceful life."

The Lord Hou stopped persuading her and patted Jia Yin. “Go ahead, Godfather will take you down to guess riddles and win a few paper lanterns back.”

"Great, great!" Jia Yin was delighted and went to call grandma again.

At this moment, the door was knocked on.Beat her, beat her!"For a moment, vegetables, sweet potatoes, eggs, and even snacks like fruit were used as weapons, all hurled at Wang E. The pain was unbearable, causing her to cover her head and ru...
