MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 897 First year in Fucheng

 Looking at her daughter's pink coat paired with a pink-purple underskirt, 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.

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

Hearing 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. Mrs. Li even recounted every detail of what happened after she left.

“Mother 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 anything interesting.”

 “Happy New Year to you too.”

As the so-called brothers settle accounts clearly, no matter how close they are, they cannot develop bad habits. Only by keeping in touch can they last long.

Hearing 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.”

"Hehe... my 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."

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

Hearing Li’s question, 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 thoughtfulness.”

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

Everyone said goodbye and went back to rest.

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 and are also meant to climb high.

The whole family gathered in the Banyan Tree Hall and had the New Year's Eve dinner together. After that, they stayed together all night. A table was set with melon seeds and snacks, and they looked forward to the arrival of the New Year together.

“Mom, my fifth brother and sister gave me such a precious gift, but I don’t have anything I can use to give it back, what should I do?”

 “Looks pretty good, I’m taking advantage of you.”

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.”

“Second aunt, I will accompany you to listen when the time comes.”

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

 “Old lady, have a prosperous New Year.”

"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.”

New Year is the most important festival of the year. Travelers who are away from home have to rush home no matter how busy they are or how far away they are. This is because of the group members.

Baiyunxi yawned and waved his hands at the children.

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, and she turned forty-two years old.

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

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

 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.

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

 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.

 One hundred three. One two four. One hundred four. Two hundred

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

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

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

 Snowflakes were flying all night, and the whole city was covered in silver. In the winter, I will wear a three-layer wheat quilt, and next year I will sleep with a steamed bun as my pillow.

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

　　"It's okay to stay awake when you feel like it. You have to get up early tomorrow, so let's break up."

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

Li was holding a piece of orange brocade and was praising her in front of her mother-in-law.

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

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

Baiyunxi 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.

Baiyunxi was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. As soon as he opened his eyes, Mammy Zhu opened the door and came in with pomegranates.

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

Him also transformed from a poor widow that everyone ridiculed to Bai Yiren that everyone envied.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Hey, I understand. I’ll look back and think about what I should give as a gift.”

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

　　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.

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

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

But seeing a family of children surrounding him, and the second son and his wife being new to Fucheng, they were very curious about the outside world, and he couldn't bear to let them stay at home with him. (End of chapter)
