Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Seeing her daughter's pink coat paired with a pink-purple skirt embroidered with large camellia flowers, Du Shi's eyes were full of love.
Before, she never thought that she could live comfortably with her daughter in this life. Thanks to her mother-in-law, she did not favor sons over daughters. Her eldest granddaughter was equally important and valuable in her eyes.

In the future, when her daughter gets married, she will live with her daughter, help her take care of the children and run the housework.

Listening to Du's beautiful plan, Baiyun Xi raised his eyebrows and remained noncommittal.

When the family got together, there seemed to be endless things to talk about. Li even recounted every detail of what happened after she left.
"Mom doesn't know. When the people in the village heard the news that we were coming to Fucheng to celebrate the New Year, they were all envious. They asked me to take a good look around Fucheng and tell them about it when I go back."

"Really? Then go out and have a nice walk later, and don't miss out on interesting things."

"Hehe... Fourth brother has already told me that if you want to hear interesting things, go to the teahouse. Not only can you listen to books, but you can also hear the latest gossip in the city."

"Second Aunt, I will accompany you to listen when the time comes."

Yaya raised her little hand and volunteered, causing everyone to laugh.

The closer the New Year is, the busier the family becomes. Just preparing New Year's goods is enough to get all the girls and women in the family excited.

Fortunately, the Du family and the Li family were also busy steaming steamed buns, steaming rice cakes, and frying New Year's goods. They took the maid and the old woman to complete the work easily.

The flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, the streets are full of vendors selling New Year's goods, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time.

During this period, Zhang Yishan took Li and the others out for a shopping trip, and then came back with some jewelry and cloth for the two of them.

Mrs. Li held a piece of orange brocade and praised it in front of her mother-in-law.

"These were all bought by the fifth younger sister. She spent a lot of money on a trip out. Not to mention, the things here in Fucheng are indeed better than those in our county. They have a full range of varieties and colors. There is also a jewelry shop that can make People are spoiled for choice.”

Listening to Li's chirping tone, Bai Yunxi glanced at the cloth she was holding and the green jade hairpin with good water content on her head.

There are two flowers engraved on the head of the hairpin, and two strings of small beads of the same color hang down. The workmanship is very fine.

"It looks pretty good, I'm taking advantage of you."

Mrs. Li touched the hairpin on her head, feeling happy but also a little confused.

"Mom, my fifth brother and sister gave me such a precious gift, but I don't have anything to offer in return. What should I do?"

Listening to Li's inquiry, Bai Yunxi chuckled,
"This is a meeting gift from my fifth daughter-in-law to you, so you don't have to worry about how to return the gift. You are sisters-in-law and relatives, so it's all about your heart."

"Hey, I understand. I'll think about it later and see what I can give as a gift."

Seeing Mrs. Li carrying the cloth back to the house, Bai Yunxi turned to look at the quiet girl next to her, looking at the milky white orchid hairpin on her head, her eyebrows moved.
"You are good at making silk flowers. If you have time, you can make a few more to give away."

Listening to his mother's reminder, Bai Jingjing's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, I haven't made silk flowers for a long time. I'll go and think of a few patterns with my eldest sister, and then I'll send them to my fifth younger siblings when they're ready."

Seeing his daughter go out happily, Bai Yunxi picked up a miscellaneous note on the table and flipped through it.

As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly. No matter how close they are, they can't develop bad habits. Only by going back and forth can they last long.

The big taboo is not to let people develop habits that are taken for granted.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Yamen closed its doors and went on annual leave, and then it was time to go to work during the Lantern Festival.

The vacation is very long, a full 20 days, but if a major case suddenly occurs during the period, officials will have to end their vacation early.

The New Year is the most important festival of the year. No matter how busy or far away the travelers are, they have to rush home. This is just a group member.

Just when everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, the weather turned gloomy again, and at night, it began to snow again.

Snowflakes were flying all night, and the entire city was covered in silver.In winter, I will be covered with a three-layer wheat quilt, and next year I will sleep with steamed buns on my pillow.

According to this trend, there will no doubt be a bumper harvest next year.

The family is busy, the atmosphere is joyful, and time flies by. New Year's Eve is here in the blink of an eye.

The whole family gathered in the Banyan Tree Hall and had the New Year's Eve dinner together, and then stayed vigil together. The table was set with melon seeds and snacks, looking forward to the arrival of the New Year together.

In order to drive away drowsiness, everyone talks about interesting things and happily.

Even so, when they first arrived at Haishi, everyone was a little sleepy, especially the children, who fell asleep directly in the arms of adults.

Baiyunxi yawned and waved her hands at the children.

"As long as the vigil is over, I have to get up early tomorrow, so let's break up."

Everyone said goodbye and went back to rest.

Bai Yunxi was also lying on the bed, looking at the brown bed curtains, closing her eyes and sleeping,
Another year has passed in a blink of an eye.

Baiyun Xi was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. As soon as she opened her eyes, Nanny Zhu pushed the door open and came in with pomegranates.

Both of them were newly dressed, with silk flowers in their buns.

"Old lady, happy new year."

"Happy New Year to you too."

Saying auspicious words, the two of them helped her get up and put on her clothes.

Bai Yunxi looked at herself in the glass mirror and couldn't help but sigh. In the blink of an eye, it was already her sixth year here, turning 42 years old.

She also transformed from a poor widow whom everyone ridiculed to Bai Yiren who was envied by everyone.

After washing up, Bai Yunxi sat down in the hall, dressed freshly. As soon as he took a sip of hot water, voices rang out in the yard.People who meet each other early in the morning always speak auspicious words, which means good luck in the year ahead.

After entering the house, they knelt down one by one in order of age, kowtowed to her, paid New Year greetings, and asked for red envelopes.

After a round, they took away several big red envelopes prepared by Baiyunxi.

When the New Year comes, in addition to worshiping ancestors, they also eat, drink and have fun. It is their first time to celebrate the New Year in Fucheng. The clan is in their hometown. The last time Xiaosi went back, she had people prepare gifts.

Here in Fucheng, Xiao Wu only prepared his father's ranking and set aside two separate rooms as a temporary ancestral hall.

After the family paid their respects, they went back to the Banyan Tree Hall to talk. There was a charcoal fire burning in the room and it was warm. Everyone gathered around and talked and laughed.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is not suitable for visiting relatives. Many families choose to go to temples to offer incense and pray for blessings, because many temples are built on the mountainside, which also means climbing up.

Of course, there are also people who are afraid of the cold and stay at home.

Baiyunxi is one of them. She doesn't want to go out with everyone in the cold weather. Not to mention the thick clothes that make it difficult to move. The cold wind outside is blowing against her face. After a day of tossing, she will fall apart.

Besides, it snowed a few days ago, so the road would definitely be difficult to walk on. She didn't want to go out and suffer from the cold.

But seeing a whole family of children surrounding him, and the second and second children having come to Fucheng for the first time, they were very curious about the outside world, and he couldn't bear to let them stay at home with him. (End of chapter)
