Chapter 406 Awesome
Xu Wenyan took the envelope.
That was the letter brought by Wang Zeren.
There are four types of handwriting, written by Wang Zeren, Xiao Liu, Wei Ren and Wang Yingying.
Most of them were words of blessing. Wei Ren asked Xu Wenyan to say hello to Xiaoman on his behalf.
Xu Wenyan was also wondering what Luo San was doing. He didn't even say hello during the New Year.
That child is really a worry.
Xu Wenyan put the envelope away and helped the store finish the work that needed to be done today.
For lunch, many people still choose to eat in a restaurant.
The New Year’s Eve dinner is the highlight.
Xu Wenyan also sent New Year gifts to the Wei family. As for Qian Sen, he would have to go there in person with Chen Sanlin later.
After all, feelings are different.
At this point, Xu Wenyan also received gifts from the Wei family, the Liu family, and Old Li who sold livestock, and even the Cao family gave Xu Wenyan gifts.
Xu Wenyan had only met Cao Ling once.
The only thing that made Xu Wenyan feel strange was that Zhang Chengjin didn't come to wish him a happy new year until noon.
Not that I care, I just find it a little weird.
A person who was so attentive before is suddenly not attentive now. Xu Wenyan thinks it’s better to have nothing to do with him from now on.
I hope someone is plotting something behind your back.
After the last table of guests left, Xu Wenyan packed up and prepared to go home.
The two carriages were really unable to accommodate all the people, so Xu Wenyan asked Jia Anqing to borrow their carriage, and then he could transport the people and the New Year's goods back.
"Let's all have dinner at our house tonight. It will be more lively when there are more people."
Xu Wenyan welcomed the guests. As there were many livestock at home, Xu Wenyan did not set off firecrackers, but he could set off some fireworks at night.
These fireworks were also expensive. Xu Wenyan spent two taels of silver to buy two tubes.
The next step is to prepare the ingredients. By the time everyone returns home it is already afternoon, and other villagers who go to the market can also return before dark.
The road being built in Xujia Village is almost completed, but horse-drawn carriages cannot pass through now. However, people can walk there.
A round trip is only slightly slower than Xu Wenyan and his carriage.
Once the road is modified, Xu Wenyan will only need about an hour to get to the county, greatly reducing the time consumed.
Wang Cuijuan came home and just drank a sip of water before coming to help Xu Wenyan.
Next came the two Guan family members.
They are the ones who make all the fried food, and now Xu Wenyan’s skill in making fried food might not even be as good as theirs.
The fruit tea drinks are ready-made from the store.
Several children, each holding a cup, went together to pay New Year's greetings.
When children in the village pay New Year's greetings, the most they give is some fruits and peanuts, and they are considered generous if they give a piece of crispy candy.
Xu Wenyan also prepared a lot of red envelopes, one for each person who came to pay New Year's greetings, with two cents and two candies in each.
In ancient times, gifts were always given in even numbers, in pairs.
As early as when Xu Wenyan came back, the children in the village were already waiting at the gate of the yard: "Uncle Xu, Happy New Year and peace and happiness to you."
Xu Wenyan had never seen such a scene before. He never thought that one day he would be surrounded by children.
"You are all so sweet." Xu Wenyan smiled and took out the red envelopes from his body.
It was the first time for the children to see real red envelopes and they were very happy.
"One for each person, take them all."
"We have some dried fruits at home. Come play with them in our yard for a while. After you finish eating the New Year's Eve dinner, how about coming to Uncle Xu's house to watch the fireworks?" Xu Wenyan surrounded the children and quickly became friends with them.
Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan from behind and smiled slightly.
"Fireworks! Really? Uncle Xu, are you really going to set off fireworks?"
"Of course I have to. When have I ever lied to anyone?"
The children had bright smiles on their faces, raised their red envelopes and cheered: "There are fireworks to watch!~"
When Rongrong brought out the fruit plate, the children in the village did not rush for it. Each of them took one and then played in the yard.
The black bear was particularly obedient today and stayed with Ruhua and the other three in the cowshed.
What we are going to make next is roasting a whole lamb, which is the highlight of today.
"Xiao Man, where did you put the scissors you used before?"
"In the drawer of my room." Xiaoman put down the food in her hand and said, "I'll get it for you."
Xu Wenyan pressed him down: "I'll go."
"Drawer, drawer. Found it." Xu Wenyan took the scissors and was about to leave.
Suddenly someone hugged him from behind.
Xu Wenyan subconsciously used his elbow to nudge the person behind him.
"Guess who I am...ah——"
Xu Wenyan turned around, pressed the neck of the person lying on the bed with his left hand, and raised the scissors with his right hand.
"Don't... ahem."
Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Wenyan finally saw the person on the bed: "Luo Sanyuan? Why the hell are you here?"
"Ahem, buddy. You almost killed me." Luo Sanyuan covered his stomach. It was obvious that Xu Wenyan had not been gentle with him.
Xu Wenyan got off him: "Damn it, who is going to kill me in the future? You should be glad that I didn't stab you with scissors."
Luo Sanyuan still held his stomach and slowly stood up: "You are too cruel."
Xu Wenyan sat down next to him: "Tell me, what's wrong with you? Didn't your mother lock you up?"
"Yeah, but I escaped. I ran for dozens of miles. Isn't that awesome?"
Xu Wenyan nodded: "Awesome, how long have you been running?"
"I've been running for almost a whole day and night, and I haven't had any water to drink."
"Awesome, really awesome."
Luo Sanlin put his arm around Xu Wenyan's shoulders and said, "Isn't that awesome? I think so too. I didn't find the carriage until the next day, and I was almost caught by my mother again.
I just jumped out of the car and ran away. I was so awesome.”
Xu Wenyan also echoed: "That's awesome."
"You came here secretly? Xiaoman doesn't know."
"Of course he didn't know. He originally thought he could wait for Xiaoman." Luo Sanyuan felt a severe stomachache when he mentioned this: "Who knew he would meet you first."
Xu Wenyan slapped his hand away: "You should be glad that you met me. If it was Xiaoman, you would be in trouble if you scared him like this."
"Brother, please help me lure Xiaoman over here."
"It's New Year's Day, so please be merciful. But you better stop scaring people. Don't blame me if Xiaoman hits you."
Luo Sanyuan patted Xu Wenyan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother. I'll take care of it."
"alright."
Xu Wenyan hid the scissors, went downstairs, and walked straight towards Xiaoman.
"Xiao Man, I didn't find it."
"That shouldn't be the case. I remember it was in the drawer. I'm going to go cough." Xiaoman was cutting vegetables. Xu Wenyan saw him going up with a kitchen knife and hurriedly called him.
"Hey! The knife, leave it here."
"it is good."
After making sure that Xiaoman did not have any dangerous items on him, Xu Wenyan let him go.
After going upstairs, Xiaoman searched in the drawer, but couldn't find the scissors: "That's weird."
"Guess I am..."
"Uh--ahem..."
