Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life Chapter 123

Chapter 123 One White Covers One Hundred Ugly

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the mother-in-law of the Qiao family set off firecrackers at the gate of Jixiangyuan.

The year before last, last year, Qiao Mai didn't set off firecrackers, for fear of scaring the horses at home. Now that the house is big, setting it off at the door will not affect them.

In order to have a happy new year, she asked the shopkeeper Niu to arrange for someone to buy a carload of firecrackers. The bright red firecrackers lasted for an hour before they stopped.

The one-acre square of snow at the entrance of Jixiangyuan is covered with red cannon skins, as bright as a red carpet, which makes people feel better after seeing it.

The children put on new clothes and ran to Qiao Mai's courtyard early to wait for the New Year greetings.

Qiao Mai slept late last night and heard voices outside, so she managed to get up and looked at the several sets of new clothes beside the kang and smiled.

Some made for her by Ruyi, some made by Yue Hong, some bought by herself, she picked up the suit she bought, put it on, put it on in front of the mirror, combed herself a nice hairstyle, and then took out the old lady Put it on your own hood.

Taking photos of herself in the Copper Realm, she is much taller now, at 1.65 meters.

As life gets better and better, a lot of meat has grown on my body.

The face looks much more pleasing to the eye than when she first wore it. It is said that her whiteness covers all ugliness. It is true that her snow-white skin looks good even without looking at her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth.

Picking up a jade bracelet in the vanity box and putting it on her wrist, she felt that nothing was wrong, so she walked out of the room.

Yuan Jiaqi and the children's eyes lit up, "Mother, you are so beautiful."

"You guys are so handsome too!"

"whee!"

"Come to the living room quickly, don't stand in the yard, it's snowing, it's so cold, my mother will feel distressed if she freezes."

Arrived in the living room, she and he sat down first. As soon as Linger came over, several children came forward to pull her, and knelt down to pay New Year greetings to the two of them in a decent manner.

Yuan Jiaqi gave each of the children a red envelope, and Qiao Mai prepared a small animal made of gold for each of the children.

But they were so happy that they kept playing with it in their hands.

Yuehong and Yuexia also dressed up, came up to pay New Year greetings to them, and got a big red envelope.

People came to pay New Year's greetings in groups of three or five, and they all left happily with red envelopes.

Before leaving, Qiao Mai did not forget to tell them that he would also go to shopkeeper Lu to pay New Year's greetings.

After they finished worshiping, Qiao Mai looked at Yuan's house and got up.

"Let's go to Sister Lu's too. She is a big girl, so we should go there."

In this way, the two brought the children to shopkeeper Lu. She and Ruyi had just received New Year's greetings from the servants in the living room.

"Hey, if you don't come, I said I would take Ruyi there for a while."

"How can an older sister wish her younger sister New Year's greetings? Happy New Year, older sister!"

"Happy New Year, Auntie!"

The children knelt down immediately, and shopkeeper Lu couldn't close her mouth with joy, so she quickly helped the children up.

One person gave a big red envelope and asked them all to sit down.

"It's snowing, so I can't go anywhere. I even said I would go to the county town to pay New Year's greetings to my sisters. Thanks to them for taking care of my shop all these years."

"They will understand, the road is not easy."

"Yeah, tell me, I want to be idle when I'm busy, and I want to be busy when I'm idle. I was born with a busy life."

"Should we go to Mayor Qian's house to pay New Year's greetings?"

Shopkeeper Lu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard him, "You go, I won't go."

"Don't talk about other relationships, just say that people have been wronged in the town these years, and we should go when the mayor is protecting us."

"Then for the sake of having no place to go, I wish him a new year, hmph, he is so beautiful."

"If you are still reluctant, let's go,"

Qiao Mai took her hand, and everyone went out together to the mayor's house.

There were a lot of people coming in and out of the gate of the compound. The mayor sat in the living room to receive them, and the guards stood guard on both sides of the gate.

The people paid New Year's greetings to him, and they just stopped and left. He socialized like this every year, saying that he was annoying or annoying, and it was only once a year. The main reason was that he, the mayor, did a good job. love him.

Seeing shopkeeper Lu and the others, his eyes lit up.

"Oh, rare guest, sit down, sit down, don't leave today, will you be at my house at noon this year?"

"Who is at your house, we haven't had breakfast yet."

Shopkeeper Lu gave him a word of advice as soon as he came up. The two of them were like two happy enemies.

"It just happened that they paid New Year's greetings to the old man. I went to your house to eat. Your food is delicious."

"Hmph, why don't you go to someone else's house for dinner on the first day of the Chinese New Year?"

"What's the matter with embarrassment, it happens that my brother is alone, it's boring to guard a group of women like you, let's have a drink."

Well, in order to go to Qiao's house for dinner, he even called Yuan's family brother. To be honest, he is of the same generation as Wang Zongsheng.

Qiao Mai poked shopkeeper Lu with his hand, "My good sister, let's stop pinching the Chinese New Year. Let's go home and have breakfast first. Mayor Qian, we will wait for you at home at noon."

"Good class, what are you calling the mayor Qian? If you don't see him, let's call him Big Brother Qian?"

Qiao Mai chuckled, "You live a long life?"

Mayor Qian rolled his eyelids, "Don't look at Mr. Qian's maturity, but Mr. Qian is not yet fifty, and he is just forty to six after the new year."

Qiao Mai covered his mouth and smiled, "Well, you're really old-fashioned. Those who didn't know thought you were sixty."

"What, I'm only ten years older than Sanniang."

"Okay then, let's go back."

"go Go!"

Mayor Qian asked the guards to give red envelopes to each child. When they got home, Qin Dong's family from the carpenter's shop in the town and shopkeeper Tong were waiting in the living room of their home.

This is to give them New Year greetings, and they are very enthusiastic when they meet.

"Oh, happy Chinese New Year, where have you been?"

"Happy Chinese New Year, we're going to the mayor's house!"

"Haha, we just came out of him not long ago, come, come, come, this is a red envelope for the child."

"Drink at my house at noon?"

"Okay, okay, I wish I could."

It seems that these two people also felt that there was no place to go when it was snowing, so they came to Qiao's house to eat and drink.

Just about to have breakfast, the bosses of the butcher shop, the tailor shop, the blacksmith shop, as long as it is the boss of Qiao Mai who takes care of their business in the town, all came to celebrate the New Year.

Whoever sees the child will give a red envelope, and the children are soft-hearted when they receive the red envelope.

"Why don't you stay for a meal at noon?"

"Okay, okay, we can't easily eat your food."

"Who said, my family married a daughter years ago, and you didn't come?"

"Haha, don't you miss your family's food now?"

Qiao Mai asked them to sit first, and she and her family hurriedly ate a bowl of dumplings, and asked Yuan Jiaqi to talk with them.

She went to the kitchen, and the cooks knew that there were guests at home, so they were all busy there.

"Prepare two tables of food, and prepare a few tables for you. Today is the first day of the new year. Everyone eats and drinks well."

"Master, usually our food is not bad, but it doesn't show much when the Chinese New Year is not here."

Qiao Mai smiled, "Steam the intestines on a plate, as well as the sauced meat, and eat dumplings at noon, let them taste the taste of our dumplings, and you can get some to eat."

"Yes, master"

She doesn't like to socialize, so she goes back to the backyard alone.

Thinking of the candied haws she made last year, what surprises will she give the children this year?

She took stock of the snacks on the earth, and thought of a very delicious snack, that is popcorn.

This is very simple and easy to make, as long as you prepare the ingredients, you can make it very easily.

Corn, butter, cream, sugar, chocolate, rice, maltose, molds, everything was ready, and she was tinkering in the kitchen.

First, I made two pots of creamy popcorn, then two pots of chocolate flavor, and finally I made a pot of rice. I mixed them with maltose, poured them into molds, made rice cakes, and then cut them into long slices. It's square, so let's stop.

Put the three things into a clean cloth bag, carry them to the living room.
