According to previous years, Lao Bai's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year must have been crowded with people coming to pay New Year's greetings.

This year, due to the Bai family's early announcement that the Furong village head would not accept New Year greetings from everyone, the Bai family's New Year's Day was more deserted than usual.

Several families in the town were unwilling to give up and stood guard at the door of Bai's house just after midnight. However, when it was getting brighter and other families in the village had finished paying New Year greetings to each other, Lao Bai's family had no intention of opening the door, so they went back angrily.

On New Year's Eve, after Xiaofu woke up from his dream, Qilang, who was not long after the full moon, suddenly cried all night.

Since Shichiro was born, he has been as well-behaved as little Fukuoka in his infancy, so angelic that it makes people cry.

He never cries, sleeps after eating, and eats after sleeping.

Therefore, when she cried on New Year's Eve, not only Xie Chuntao was panicked, but also Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen Baiban were also panicked.

Qilang had no other symptoms and was just crying. Everyone thought he was frightened by the sound of firecrackers on New Year's Eve. Old Mrs. Bai called her spirit several times in the yard until daybreak, when Qilang stopped crying and fell asleep.

Xie Chuntao, Mrs. Bai and others just breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Mrs. Zhen couldn't let go of her breath, Xiao Fuyuan woke up in the night, and Qilang suddenly cried. These abnormal behaviors must indicate something.

Needless to say, Xiao Fuyuan felt strongly about whatever happened to her family members outside.

As for Qilang, the only explanation is that he is connected with Bai Dazhuang and his son. Bai Dazhuang must have encountered something dangerous at the border.

Zhen did not tell Xie Chuntao, Mrs. Bai and others about these speculations to avoid worrying them.

Even when he went to see Shichiro, he didn't even mention that Xiaofukuoka was awakened by a nightmare.

Mrs. Zhen was very worried and guarded the little Fuyuan until daybreak.

Xiao Fuyuan had not slept soundly that night. Whenever she closed her eyes, she could hear the sounds of weapons clashing, the neighing of war horses, the shouts of the crowd... all the noise made her head hurt.

She was mumbling while she was half asleep and half awake. Zhen held her and patted her gently, but he couldn't really hear what she was mumbling.

At dawn, the Bai family got up one after another. Several sisters-in-law and Qiuniang ran into the house to say good luck to little Fuyuan, who was still sleeping soundly in Zhen's arms.

They went to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Bai.

This year's New Year's Day in Shenshu Village is a good day. Although it is cold and the snow on the eaves has not yet melted, it is clear, the sky is blue, and the long-lost sunshine is slanting down.

The white wooden board stood in the yard and sighed that this year must be another good year.

When it was daylight, Xiao Fuyuan finally opened his eyes.

"My daughter is awake." A smile appeared on Mrs. Zhen's face.

"Mom." Xiao Fuyuan touched Zhen's black eyes with her hands, making a greeting gesture with her hands, "Happy New Year, may you have good luck."

Mrs. Zhen smiled and tapped Xiao Fuyuan's nose, hugged her into her arms, and asked, "What are you dreaming about?"

Xiao Fuyuan could hear her mother's voice being very nervous.

My mother stayed up all night not to watch the New Year's Eve, but to worry about her three brothers at the border.

So he opened his big black eyes and said, "Mom, eldest brother, second brother, and fifth brother are all right. Everyone is safe."

Mrs. Zhen breathed out a sigh of relief, smiled, rubbed her daughter's head, put her cheek against hers and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my daughter, please try to catch up on some sleep."

She couldn't sleep well that night, and Mrs. Zhen felt very sorry for Little Fuyuan.

"Mom, I'm not sleepy. I want to set off firecrackers with Dalang and the others, pay New Year's greetings to my grandma and dad, eat delicious food, and wear beautiful clothes." Xiao Fuyuan counted her fingers and arranged for her New Year's Day.

"My sister is awake."

"Sister, happy new year."

"Good luck to you, little aunt."

When the three sisters-in-law learned that Xiao Fuyuan had gotten up, they each came to Xiao Fuyuan's room holding their own New Year's gifts.

Several nephews followed behind.

"Sisters-in-law, happy New Year." Xiao Fuyuan wished her sisters-in-law a happy New Year.

The faces of the sisters-in-law were happy.

"Sister, look what gift my second sister-in-law gave you!"

The second sister-in-law, Eugene Gui, has been trying hard to win over her sister-in-law since she failed to get a gift for Xiao Fuyuan's birthday.Xiao Fuyuan took a closer look and saw that the second sister-in-law was holding an exquisite wooden box in her hand.

Eugene Gui opened it, and inside was a dress with complicated embroidery, gold thread was used on the puff sleeves, and a big bead dropped on the neckline.

Xiao Fuyuan's eyes were almost shocked!

This was the skirt she had worn in her previous life. She drew it on the notebook based on her memory. Unexpectedly, her second sister-in-law actually embroidered it. This made her happier than anything else.

But my second sister-in-law’s embroidery skills...

She was very suspicious of how the second sister-in-law could restore the skirt she painted.

When Eugene Gui saw the light in Xiao Fuyuan's eyes, he knew that he had made the right move this time.

Naturally, this skirt was not embroidered by her, she was embroidered by Qimei Hongye. The material on it was Ruan Yanluo, whom she was reluctant to wear, and who had given it to Zhou's family last time.

"Second sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble." Xiao Fuyuan said.

After receiving the kind words from Xiao Fuyuan, Eugene Gui felt relieved.

Then the elder sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law also gave gifts.

The eldest sister-in-law gave her a carefully embroidered skirt. Different from the second sister-in-law's, it was the most popular style among young girls in Huaicheng in this era.

Xiao Fuyuan also likes it very much, and it can be worn with the one given by the second sister-in-law.

And two pairs of shoes.

As we all know, the shoes embroidered by my sister-in-law are the most suitable and comfortable, and Xiao Fuyuan’s shoes are exclusively supplied by my sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law is interested." Xiao Fuyuan said to her sister-in-law with a smile.

The third sister-in-law is as arrogant as ever. In addition to banknotes, she also has a shop.

"Thank you, third sister-in-law." Little Fuyuan couldn't refuse gold and silver treasures.

Then Xiao Fuyuan was dressed, washed and brushed by her three sisters-in-law.

The newly dressed little Fuyuan first went to wish Mrs. Bai a happy New Year, and then gave a formal New Year's greeting to Mrs. Zhen and Bai Banban.

Mrs. Bai gave her a big red envelope as usual.

Then several nephews paid New Year greetings to Xiao Fuyuan. Xiao Fuyuan was sitting on a chair. The nephews were asked by Mrs. Bai to kowtow, but Xiao Fuyuan stopped them and gave each of them a red envelope.

Before breakfast was put on the table, Qiuniang opened the curtain and came in. She handed Xiao Fuyuan a New Year's gift with a smile.

It is a unique seal.

"Thank you, Sister Qiu." Xiao Fuyuan held up the seal. She didn't recognize the pattern on it, but it looked a bit like the seal Cheng Mei gave her.

She didn't understand why Qiuniang gave her this thing, so she turned to look at Qiuniang.

"I didn't prepare a gift this year. I've been wearing this badge. I gave it to my sister to play with."

Qiuniang smiled calmly, hiding the sadness in her eyes.

Zhen's heart moved and she looked deeply at Qiuniang.

Qiuniang seemed to be unaware.

"Sister, Qilang kept crying at night. Did something happen to your elder brother?" Xie Chuntao thought for a while and then told him about Qilang's crying at night.

Old Mrs. Bai gave Xie Chuntao a hard look.

She usually values ​​Xie Chuntao the most, largely because Xie Chuntao is steady and never talks too much.

What depressing words are there to say on New Year’s Day today?

But Xie Chuntao was really worried when she thought about Qilang crying all night, so she couldn't help but asked Xiao Fuyuan.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, eldest brother will be fine." Xiao Fuyuan said, and then added, "All brothers will be fine."

Little Fuyuan didn't know how dangerous the eldest, second, and third brothers were at the border. She only knew that she heard the sound of knives and guns in her dreams all night long. When she woke up from the dream, everything had settled.

With the dawn of the new year, Ningcheng, where they were located, was finally out of danger.
