Chapter 720: Grand Reunion!

so bold.He raised his chin even higher and barked, "What are you babbling about I said move, so get out of here! Tianwu doesn't answer to us, but this land belongs to our young master's family! Our l...Outside in the main hall, the village headman, Uncle Zhao and a few others, as well as Dr. Zhang, all had on brand new robes, pants, shoes, and socks from head to toe.

They were chatting animatedly with Lord Hou, Li Yong, Liu Biao Tou, Mr. Wen, Mr. Jiang, and the several brothers of Li Zhen Sheng.

Li Yong and Hui Niang treated Li's family as their own, so naturally they came over for the New Year's Eve reunion dinner.

This way, the village head and his wife couldn't help but feel lonely.

Then, Old Madam Li went over personally and invited them in.

Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen were the only two people there. Mrs. Wen was also pregnant, so Granny Li couldn't bear to see her work hard, so she insisted on having them both join for a meal.

Mr. Jiang brought the little student Guli to the school, and he was also alone. Liu Biatou's husband and wife didn't have a big son around...

In short, the Li family's dinner party grew bigger and more lively as it went on.

So, we opened three tables at once. Everyone gathered together to celebrate a year of hard work.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went back home, waiting for the midnight ceremony of offering dumplings to the gods.

Li La'er and Wen Da Ren still had to go into the palace for a banquet, so they reluctantly got into the carriage.

And both Jia Yin and the old woman took sick leave, sparing themselves the hardship of braving the wind and snow.

The Lord, having donned his greatcoat, was also to ride back to the wharf military camp.

He was the commander-in-chief, and it was his duty to eat New Year's Eve dinner with the soldiers.

As for Hou Mansion, in the morning, Jia Yin had already gone over and distributed money to everyone in the mansion.

The Li family has many children. Besides JiaYi who is outside, the rest are at home.

When it's time to keep watch, you won't be afraid of feeling sleepy!

Jia Xi and Jia An were always a handful, and with Mao Ge'er added to the mix, they were practically going to tear the roof off.

Li Laotai brought her son and daughter-in-law, chatting about the year's events at home, both big and small.

Li Zhensheng's several brothers felt some shame, their mother was getting old and still had to work hard managing both the home and outside affairs.

But Lao Li was quite content with it.

A thriving family business and healthy, safe grandchildren are the best things in life!

When midnight arrived, Li Lao Er and Mr. Wen's manager returned.

The whole family made dumplings, after eating dumplings, the little boys couldn't resist drowsiness and dozed off on the kang.

Jiayin also fell asleep holding onto grandma's leg...

In a hazy daze, she could hear the sound of firecrackers exploding outside. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up and saw the faint, fishy-white glow outside her window. She couldn't help but smile.

The new year is here!

Hearing the noise, Old Li opened the door and saw her granddaughter sitting quietly by the window. She picked her up and said with a smile, “Funi, my dear granddaughter, in this new year, Grandma wishes you to be healthy and grow strong!”

Jia Yin hugged her grandmother's neck and kissed her cheek, responding crisply: "Grandma must also live a long life and stay with Fu Niuer for her whole life."

"Good, good!" Li Laotai hugged her fat granddaughter with a smile on her face!

At this time, Jia An and Jia Xi ran in from outside. Jia Xi shouted, "Sister, let's go! Let's set off firecrackers!"

Having said that, the two of them haphazardly dressed their sister in shoes and a cloak, and dragged her away. Li Lao Tai was furious and slapped them both on the head.

A thin layer of snow had fallen in the yard, leaving footprints everywhere. It was a mess, but also lively!

In the kitchen, steam billowed from the cooking pots, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were busy preparing the meal, occasionally peeking to see the children playing and laughing, their faces breaking into smiles as well.

After breakfast, before the villagers returned from celebrating the New Year, Old Li gave red envelopes to her grandchildren.

The boys knelt down in a row, smiling and kowtowing to their grandmother. Then they held the big red envelopes, beaming with joy.

This year, there were many things coming into the household. Li Lao Tai thought of her grandchildren growing up and spending money in many places, so, from Jia Ren to Mao Ge'er, they all received fifty taels of silver tickets.

When it was Jia Yin's turn, Lao Tai Li directly gave one hundred taels.

The boys weren't jealous either.

Because... Their younger sister secretly slips them more money than this on a daily basis....

After a while, the village head, Zhang Shenyi and Zhao Shu arrived.

The elderly gather together, which also makes it convenient for villagers to pay New Year's greetings, saving them from running around everywhere.

As expected, the villagers came right after they arrived.

The women gathered around the elderly woman, chatting with each other. The men, meanwhile, led the boys and girls to kneel before their elders and kowtow.

Li Laosi carried up a large wooden chest, which was filled with copper coins.

Li Laotai casually grabbed a handful and stuffed them into the hands of the boys and girls, making them overjoyed.

Jia Yin also took out two boxes of exquisite palace flowers and gave them to the little girls as extra compensation.

The little girls had ribbons in their braids, and their pretty faces were flushed.

After a bustling morning, the Xing family of four, accompanied by their precious daughter Baozhu, came to pay New Year's greetings.

Xing Da Ren, seeing the Li family as lively and simple as his wife had said, was also happy.

He insisted on kneeling before Zhang Shenyi and kowtowing, thanking the old man for saving his wife's life.

Dr. Zhang helped Mr. Xing up, arrogantly stroking his beard and saying, "To save the world by carrying a medicine bag and relieving people from suffering is the duty of us physicians."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and no one bothered to expose the old man's unreliable nature.

Mr. Xing was truly grateful and presented with both hands a first-edition medical book.

He spent his days doing clerical work for the royal library, facing shelves stacked like mountains of books. Finding a rare medical text wouldn't be too difficult.

But this delighted Dr. Zhang greatly.

Perhaps to ensure there would be such good things in the future, he immediately took Xing's pulse and prescribed a tonic recipe for him, ensuring his physical recovery and restoring his masculine vigor. He thought that having another son or daughter wouldn't be difficult.

Sir Xing was flustered and his face flushed red, but he still took the prescription.

In a little while, Liu Jia's Zhìmín and Xiūjié also came to pay New Year's greetings.

Their home was just as crowded, and Liu Zhiheng couldn't get out, so the two boys took on the heavy responsibility.

Jia Yin waved her hand, taking her older brothers and sisters to the warm room.

Inside the warm house, you can eat fruit freely. It's much more comfortable than being around adults.

Jiārén wanted to say a few words to Wǎn'ér, but as the eldest grandson, he could only stay at the front to entertain guests.

The pearl was a frequent visitor to the warm room, but not at all polite. She pulled on her cousin Wan'er, picking grapes, stroking a small fox, and laughing gleefully.

Those who didn't know better would think she was at home!

Jia Yin munched on the fruit, watching her older siblings play happily and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It'll probably be hard to see such a lively scene again...

In the second grade, Jiahuan took a car trip to Los Angeles with her family to visit her in-laws.

Wenjuan's belly is getting big, she'll be giving birth in a month.

At this time, it was not easy to move around, let alone the new wife from the Peng family's back gate wasn't a good person either.

Old Mrs. Li was worried that if her daughter-in-law went back, there might be some friction, which could harm the unborn great-grandchild.

Wenjuan was also pleased with this arrangement. She now wholeheartedly belonged to her in-laws, while her natal family felt more like distant relatives to her.

Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen packed their things and stayed at the Liu family's house for one night.

It's already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, time really flies when you're busy.

Break Five send God eat dumplings!

After finishing the dumplings, for ordinary people, the New Year was over. It was time to return to work and make a living.

And Li La Er also, after dinner, told his mother about Jia Xi and Jia An going out to sea.

To everyone's surprise, Old Li didn't get angry. Instead, she took her grandsons, Jiaxi and Jianan, in for the night. She carefully inquired about their thoughts and listened intently as they excitedly described their aspirations and curiosity about overseas life... care of him How did you take care of him” Chuncao felt a bit wronged, “I wanted to help Master Li put on his clothes, but Master Li said he wanted to wash his face, so I went to fetch water.
