"Husband, get up! Why are you so happy?"
Xian 'er entered the room and saw Ye Xu sitting on the brick bed, smiling foolishly. She felt happy too.
"I had a dream that I became a father.”
Ye Xu chuckled. Xian 'er rebuked him and placed a new set of clothes on the bed.
"I've boiled some water for you to take a bath. These are the new clothes I made some time ago. It's the new year today, so you have to be clean.”
Xian 'er was also wearing new clothes today.
It was made by Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Wei in Yuan Bao Town. She made a small cotton jacket out of the red floral cloth. It fitted her perfectly and made her figure look even better.
This little wife had been living a good life for a while and had become more and more beautiful. The families in the cattle ravine praised her when they saw her. They all said that she was a fairy from the sky.
Ye Xu and the three Zhu brothers 'new clothes were similar. They added the roe deer skin they hunted on the mountain, and the cuffs and collars were made of bear skin, which was very cold and warm.
Ye Xu took a shower and put on new clothes, looking very heroic.
Xian 'er helped Ye Xu tidy up, and her pretty face slowly turned red.
Her husband was also a well-known handsome young man. Xian 'er often thought that it was God's favor for her to be able to marry Ye Xu.
After tidying up the east room, Ye Xu and Xian 'er went to the courtyard.
The three Chuan Wen brothers were hanging red lanterns outside the courtyard. The red word 'Fu' was pasted on the window, making it look festive.
Xian 'er said to Ye Xu and ran to the outer room to help Zhu Weishi make dumplings. The dumplings were made with roe deer meat filling. The moment the dumpling filling was mixed, it carried a fragrance that made people drool.
Ye Xu didn't have much to do. He left a mark on an old tree not far away before returning to the courtyard to help the three brothers hang lanterns.
Dozens of families in the cattle ravine prayed to each other for the new year and went home to set off firecrackers. The crackling sound made people happy.
Zhu Kaishan came out of the warehouse with a lot of firecrackers in his hands.
Chuan Wu and Chuan Jie had bought these when they went to town. After cleaning up, everything was ready. Zhu Kaishan had set off a string of firecrackers in the courtyard.
The smell of gunpowder and smoke filled the courtyard. Zhu Kaishan chuckled.
"This is the first lively New Year I've had in years!”
The days were short in winter in the east of the country. It was only four or five o'clock when it was already dark outside. The house was lit up, and the light shone through the window paper on the snow in the courtyard. The yellow light and shadow inexplicably brought a kind of warm atmosphere.
After the dumplings were out of the pot, everyone came to the central room.
There was a case in the central room with all kinds of tributes on it. On top of it was the genealogy of the Zhu family. It was unknown how many generations it was. The ancestor was a prince of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Kaishan stood in front of everyone and respectfully offered incense. He kowtowed and muttered,
"Father, mother, I kowtow to the two elders. Wen his mother moved the two elders from the pass. This will be our home in the future.”
Zhu Weishi also knelt down and muttered,"
"Father, Mother, bless our Zhu family to have a prosperous population. Bless these children to be healthy and safe. Bless Xian 'er. I hope she will give birth to a fat boy next year.”
Ye Xu, Xian 'er, and Chuan Wen also knelt down and kowtowed."
"Ancestor, I kowtow to you. May our family live a peaceful life and bless our parents 'health.”
After paying their respects, Zhu Kaishan pulled Ye Xu, Xian 'er, and the three Zhu brothers to another case. There was a memorial tablet on that case, and it belonged to Ye Xu's father, Ye Longxiang.
"Xu 'er, Xian' er, kowtow three times to your father. The few of you do the same. Kowtow to your grandpa. Without your grandpa, I would have died long ago, and there wouldn't be any of you.”
The few of them knelt down and kowtowed respectfully. Zhu Kaishan poured a bowl of wine for the table and drank it in one gulp. After saying a few words to his good brother, he wiped his face and looked at the crowd. He smiled and said,"Get on the brick bed and eat dumplings!"
The family of seven entered the big house and got on the brick bed. Other than dumplings, there were twelve dishes. This was an old rule left behind from the past, symbolizing that there would be food and drink every month of the new year.。
Zhu Weishi put a copper coin in a dumpling. Everyone was eager to eat the money, but in the end, it was eaten by Xian 'er.
"It's a good sign. Xu 'er will be rich next year.”
Zhu Kaishan was all smiles. His family had eaten and drank their fill. After chatting for a while, he went back to his room to sleep after midnight and the New Year.
The next morning, Ye Xu woke up early.
After his physique was improved, his sleep quality was good. Although he slept late last night, he still woke up early.
"System, give me something good for the new year.”
Ye Xu thought to himself and chose to sign in.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. New Year's special item, family portrait x1!”
"What is it?"
"The family portrait can bless the host's family to be safe and healthy in the new year.”
Ye Xu was stunned and took out the family portrait from the system space.
The so-called family portrait was a pouch woven from cotton thread with the red word "Fu" embroidered on it. Inside the pouch was a note with the names of Ye Xu, Xian 'er, and Zhu Kaishan's family written on it.
Ye Xu liked this New Year's gift very much. After the New Year, he would be going to Laojin Valley with Zhu Kaishan. With the family portrait to bless the whole family, Ye Xu felt much more at ease.
