Chapter 243 Happy New Year!

"Brother just needs to be responsible for these tastes. As for the things about opening the store, it can be handed over to other people, just hire a shopkeeper."

Few shopkeepers stay in the store by themselves every day.

"Xiao Wu is right. These business matters can be handed over to someone who understands first, and choose a reliable shopkeeper to manage."

"The idea of ​​this hot pot restaurant, as well as the ingredients of this hot pot restaurant, belong to the exclusive secret recipe of the store. As long as this is in our hands, the store can be opened."

Yuan Qiansong agreed.

Mother Yuan was used to doing everything herself, so she was still a little worried about this.

"It's a huge investment to open a restaurant, and if others don't like it, they will lose everything..."

Yuan Yuan put some meat into the bowl for Mother Yuan: "Does mother like hot pot?"

"Of course I like to eat."

"Mother likes it, we all like it, and others will definitely like it, don't think about it so much, just eat and have fun."

Looking at Yuan Yuan's smiling face with nothing on her mind, Yuan's mother also felt that she was thinking too much.

How can anyone not like such a delicious seasoning? She should believe that Yuan Tongnian can do it.

"Xiao Si, then you don't plan to go to school next year?" Mother Yuan was more concerned about this.

"I……"

Yuan Tongnian hadn't figured it out yet. Instead of going to school, he now wants to specialize in medicine and make medicated food.

"I don't plan to! Mother! I don't plan to go either!" Yuan Tongyue took the opportunity to express his wish.

Mother Yuan sighed heavily, these children are not bad, but the only one who is willing to study is the third one.

"Fifth brother, you don't want to go to the school either, so where do you want to go?" Yuan Yuan always felt that Yuan Tongyue wanted to fish in troubled waters, and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the school.

"The sky is big and the earth is big, I can go anywhere!"

"You kid, do you still want to wander around the world?" Mother Yuan was startled, and hurriedly asked.

"Hey, second sister-in-law! I think Xiaowu's idea is right. Our Jiuqu Town is too small. There are Taizhou Prefecture, Hezhou Prefecture, Junzhou Prefecture, and the capital outside. We should go out and have a look. .”

These words really touched Uncle Yuan's heart, he had this idea, that's why he likes to go out and run around.

It doesn't matter if you have no fixed place, even if you live in the wind and sleep in the open, just live a chic and reckless life.

Uncle Yuan patted Yuan Tongyue on the back excitedly, and Yuan Tongyue choked a few times.

In the end, Mother Yuan compromised and let them do whatever they want, each has his own destiny, and they don't have to stick to the school.

After a full meal, Yuan Yuan talked to Yuan's mother heartily. Yuan Yuan felt that there must be a reason for her mother to be so obsessed with letting her child go to school.

And this reason is probably related to my mother's natal family.

"Mother, I haven't heard you talk about your grandfather's family. Can you tell me, do I have uncles and aunts?"

Mother of Yuan touched Yuan Yuan's head and held her in her arms. "Xiao Liu, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I think it's such a festive day like the Chinese New Year. From now on, I will definitely be with my mother every year. Doesn't my mother miss my own mother?"

"Silly boy, when you get married in the future, you will be from another family. During the Chinese New Year, you won't be able to come back home. How can you live with your mother?"

"That won't work. I definitely want to be with my mother. I just miss my mother. I want to see my mother every year." Yuan Yuan clung to Yuan's mother.

She doesn't think so much now, she just wants to keep this family relationship.

Yuan's mother hugged Yuan Yuan helplessly and patted, her eyes showing nostalgia.

She loves Yuan Yuan the most. When Yuan Yuan was stupid, she sometimes felt that it was good to keep Yuan Yuan by her side.

She never thought about sitting down and chatting with her good daughter like this.

"Mother sometimes misses home. Mother's father is a scholar, and mother's aunt is an official lady... You have two uncles and one aunt."

It was the first time that Yuan's mother talked to Yuan Yuan about her natal family.

Grandfather was a scholar, and grandmother was an official lady. Yuan Yuan was very surprised when he first heard it.

As soon as this combination sounds, it is not an ordinary family.

But the result afterwards was not as good as she imagined.

My grandfather was a poor scholar, and his family was poor, so he could barely live by relying on his grandmother's support.

The grandmother is not the official's concubine, but a concubine who is not favored by the magistrate.

When she married her grandfather, her grandmother severed ties with the family. In her cognition, she has always adhered to two concepts.

I would rather be a poor family wife than a high family concubine.

Only by gaining fame can you change your current situation.

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. Mother Yuan supports her children in studying because she believes in the latter idea.

My grandmother has always expected my grandfather to be able to obtain fame, achieve the same achievements as her father, and become an official, so she has always been strict with her husband and son.

"Your elder uncle is a very talkative person, and your younger uncle is a bit shy. Both of them are in school, and they are very smart. At that time, the neighbors said that the two of them will definitely become scholars in the future."

The grandfather is taking the test for merit, and the elder uncle and the younger uncle are also taking the test for merit. The family only has the grandmother, aunt and mother, who keep washing clothes and embroidering handkerchiefs to maintain the family's life.

Later, my grandfather failed many times and was sick. The family really couldn't solve the problem, and even had no money to see a doctor, so he went like this.

Grandfather's last wish was that the children of the family could be admitted to the imperial examinations and become officials in the imperial court, which was also my grandmother's wish.

She is a concubine of an official family. In order to get rid of her status as a concubine, she very much hopes that her offspring can enter the official career and prove herself like her father.

But after the grandfather passed away, the family's situation became worse and worse, and it was difficult to maintain daily life. It happened that a wealthy businessman came to marry my aunt at this time.

As long as the aunt married, they would solve the family's dilemma. The grandmother didn't hesitate, so she let the aunt marry.

She became the wife of a rich businessman, but half of the rich businessman stepped into the coffin, and he had already lost four or five wives. No matter how you think about it, there are problems.

Mother Yuan has read books and has her own ideas. She has stopped her grandmother, she can do more work, and she hopes that her sister will not go to that wolf den.

But her stop was useless, Auntie married voluntarily, without even resisting, but after that, she had a very bad life.

After Yuan's mother experienced the incident of her sister, she made her own decisions and decided to run away from home, and married into Yuanjia Village without the family's knowledge.

She never regretted it.

Grandmother never liked her behavior, so after Yuan's mother got married, she never returned home, as if she had lost contact with her family.

People in Yuanjia Village didn't know where she came from, they only knew that she was a woman with some knowledge.

"Mother hopes that you can hold your destiny in your own hands. If you feel that you have the ability to do something, then do it. Mother will support you."

Mother Yuan has always wanted his children to study, just to make their children more knowledgeable.

It's good to be able to get fame, if not, then don't be like your sister, who can't control your own destiny.

"Mother...you are so brave."

Yuan Yuan hugged Mother Yuan, and dared to run away from home in that environment, how much effort she had made and how much she had suffered.

"Don't worry, my brothers and I will always be with you in the future."

……

During the Chinese New Year, there are at least entertainment items, such as carrying lanterns, watching fireworks, setting off firecrackers, and wearing new clothes to celebrate the festive New Year.

Yuan Yuan asked someone to make many sets of mahjong. At this time, there was no such entertainment. She specially taught her family and those who stayed in the farm.

Mahjong is a neat set of wooden tiles. The wood has been polished and lacquered to make it smooth and smooth. The tiles inside are also carefully carved and painted.

"The principle of this mahjong is very simple, like this three are connected together, and a pair is added at the end, it is considered a winning card..."

At first they thought it was difficult to play mahjong, but once they knew how to play it, they became addicted.

These few sets of mahjong are not enough for them to play, and whoever loses will have to end and change.

Before the night of New Year's Eve, Yuan Yuan had been fighting with his family all the time, but unfortunately their strength was really not good enough, Yuan Yuan won every time.

After going on like this for a long time, Yuan Yuan felt that he was bullying others.

During the past few days of the Chinese New Year, there were quite a few disputes. When Yuan Baishan returned to the county government to deal with matters, he also mentioned this entertainment to Nie Mingli.

He also visited Yuan's house curiously, and after playing for a few rounds, he was able to figure out the rules.

When Nie Mingli beat Yuan Yuan for the first time, Yuan Yuan still thought it was incredible.

"Are you going to play so soon?"

"It's very simple, just remember the rules."

Yuan Yuan lost for the first time. After experiencing the frustration, she played another round, but she still lost to Nie Mingli.

This is not a kind of entertainment based on luck alone. Those who can play can rely on memory.

"How do you know that the last [-] yuan is in the hands of my fifth brother?"

"I guessed it. You see that you played a [-] card just now. You don't need it. You definitely don't have it in your hand. He keeps all the cards, so he doesn't need [-]. The last one must be with him."

Yuan Yuan: "..."

She played the game with ease, but she couldn't do it like Nie Mingli played it with a lot of brainpower!
After that, Yuan Yuan cut the poker cards first and changed to a new game. It turned out that when playing cards, Nie Mingli remembered the cards more clearly.

The final result was that no one was willing to play with Yuan Yuan and Nie Mingli anymore, so they could only play ace-drawing game on the sidelines.

"I thought the adults would go to him to celebrate the New Year."

Yuan Yuan said he was Bai Yiyu, and Nie Mingli was the only relative, and he thought they would celebrate the New Year together.

After such a long period of recuperation, there is no problem for the two of them to meet each other.

"He told me last time that I treated him as a dead man, so I didn't think about going to him."

At this time, Bai Yiyu was alone in Nie's mansion, wondering where Nie Mingli would go after the Chinese New Year.

Nie Mingli drew the last card, discarded all the cards in his hand, and won again.

Yuan Yuan was ashamed, staring at the joker in his hand in a daze, this was already the fourth time he lost.

After the evil energy in Nie Mingli's body was removed, the purple energy that originally symbolized wealth and wealth appeared. His luck must be good.

It's just that now, it seems to be used for playing cards.

"Are you watching the New Year's Eve tonight?" Nie Mingli didn't plan to play any more, seeing Yuan Yuan's little expression, if this continued, she was about to cry.

"Of course we have to watch the year!" This is Yuan Yuan's first year here, and also the first year she spent with her family in my impression. She will definitely watch the year tonight, which is very commemorative.

Nie Mingli left with a smile on his face.

Yuan Yuan hung lanterns outside her room, and the room was also very bright. She and Hongying Hongluo were playing a card game, and when they got tired of playing, they talked the truth.

The two little girls got sleepy halfway, and fell asleep crookedly on the bed, Yuan Yuan held on because of her own will, she burned incense to her ancestors in the space, and prayed for a good weather at home.

I tidied up the medicine fields in the space again, preparing to collect some medicinal materials to make convenient pills, and wrapped some small red envelopes, planning to distribute them to others tomorrow.

When everything was ready, the time was almost up, she exited the space, and just happened to hear the last knock on the window.

Yuan Yuan opened the window suspiciously, and gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky outside the house, as if announcing the arrival of the New Year. Only the loud fireworks and firecrackers can scare away the legendary Nian Beast.

Nie Mingli knocked for a long time, but no one came to open the window. He thought Yuan Yuan had fallen asleep and was about to leave.

Yuan Yuan stopped him as if teasing. "Only the Nian Beast comes back every New Year. Why is your lord also here? Is your lord the Nian Beast this year?"

Because the fireworks outside were really loud, Yuan Yuan raised his voice deliberately.

"So you haven't slept yet." Nie Mingli walked over, picked up the gift box that had just been placed on the ground, and handed it to Yuan Yuan from the window.

"What are you doing, my lord?"

Yuan Yuan stared at the box, it looked quite heavy, and he didn't know what was inside.

"It's nothing, just a New Year's gift for you."

"Yuan Yuan, Happy New Year!" Nie Mingli pushed the gift into the house.

As soon as Yuan Yuan touched the gift box, Nie Mingli disappeared in a flash.

"Miss, why are you standing by the window?"

The cold wind outside and the deafening fireworks woke up Hong Ying, she hurried over to close the window, so as not to freeze Yuan Yuan again.

The corners of Yuan Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he put away the gift box.

"It's okay, I just ran a Nian Beast just now."

"Nian Beast? Miss, don't scare me. Where is the Nian Beast? It's just a legend."

……

On the first day of the new year, Yuan Yuan woke up early, and Yuan Nai brought her a steamed bun and a green onion to eat, implying that she would become wise in the new year.

She also ate dumplings, and even ate three of them with copper coins.

Yuan Nai laughed at her: "The blessings of this bowl are all with Xiao Liu."

"Then I will distribute my blessings to everyone! Then we can all be blessed, come! Hong Ying Hong Luo, here are your red envelopes!"

"Thank you, miss!" The two little girls happily accepted the red envelope.
