As the New Year approaches, the supper at the founding Marquis’ Mansion is not reunited.

Pei Zhengstein was training troops in the military camp, but Cui Mengzhang found an excuse to hide in the room and take his own son Pei Xingde to avoid having dinner with Pei Shuo. When Aunt Feng saw that the mistress did not appear, she asked about the people from the second room and said she could not come out. She said she could not get out of sickness. Several people from the eldest room were not there, and Li Shuangyu from the second room grabbed their heads and couldn't go there. Pei Xingzhiba had to see Pei Shuo. Several brothers came to complain to him, saying that Pei Shuo put his snake to scare them and told them not to come to the Marquis's Mansion in the future, otherwise they would bite them once and every time they saw him.

Here, there were only three people at the dining table, Pei Suiyin, his brother Pei Xingning and Pei Shuo.

desolate.

Pei Suiyin sighed: "If your family is not married, your elder brother hasn't come back yet."

"Grandpa." Pei Xingning comforted him, "I guess there is something wrong with my second uncle and second aunt. As for my elder brother, it may have been delayed on the road."

The eldest son's wife didn't come out. Pei Suiyin thought to himself. He took Xingde every day. Xingde was already six years old. He should leave the inner courtyard and move to the outer courtyard to live with his brothers. He should go to a private school like Xingning. She saw that the baby was so nervous that she didn't want to let go, and she would not let him contact his brothers. If this continues, it will be aborted sooner or later. Unfortunately, the eldest son was busy with the military camp and had no time to teach his children, and the second son gradually lost contact in the mansion.

Pei Suiyin didn't care about the matter and did not force his two wives to come to him to settle down in the morning and evening. However, as he grew older, only Pei Xingning was by his side, and there was always a moment of longing for the fun and reunion of his family.

When the quiet child grew up, he was about to reach the age of dancing with a gentle and restrained personality. If nothing unexpected happens, Pei Xingning will be as peaceful as his name in the future.

Six years ago, he was afraid of Pei Shuo and became closer to Pei Xingzhi. As the two went to Nanxun to study, their fourth brother Pei Xingde was born. Pei Shuo went to Yanmen to join the army. Pei Zhengwen had no time to watch the family. The mistress was unintentional to take care of her, and the aunt was weak. He was taken by his grandfather to practice martial arts and strengthen his body. He listened to the letters sent by Pei Shuo home and his deeds of defeating the enemy in Yanmen. His initial fear gradually turned into envy and admiration. Seeing that Pei Shuo was sent home to cultivate and became increasingly violent, he was surrounded by at a loss and blamed his incompetence and cowardice in his heart.

Now Pei Shuo is getting better again, and Pei Xingning is too happy to be too late, so he quickly shared with his grandfather: "Grandpa, my elder brother has been getting better recently, um, it has become normal... um..." Pei Xingning's explanation became more and more chaotic, "I don't mean that."

"I understand, you can continue talking, I'll hear how he's getting better."

Pei Xingning received his encouragement, and slowly talked about what he heard and saw—he did not read together with Pei Shuo: "Recently, the Master praised his elder brother's policy and said that his articles were well written. Although they were not beautiful, they were simple, and every word was gem."

Pei Suiyin looked a little satisfied and planned to take Pei Shuo's homework back. Men should be both civil and military.

They were talking, Pei Shuo held the food box and was holding the ribs in his hand, "Grandpa, third brother, I brought you vegetables."

He handed the ribs to the maid to take them to the kitchen to explain that they would make them tomorrow. He opened the food box and took out all the dishes inside, and introduced: "This is shredded radish mutton ball soup, this is mutton with a scattered green onion. I went to Dongshan to hunt a few days ago. You can try it."

There was a small charcoal stove at the bottom of the food box, and a soup was placed between a bamboo board and the dish was placed on the top layer. Pei Shuo was steady and did not sprinkle the soup all the way.

Pei Suiyin shouted, the bastard knew that he was filial to the old man. Unfortunately, Pei Shuo's father was not here, so he came back to show off Pei Shuo's filial piety to him. He picked up a mutton ball and tasted it. It didn't taste strange, it was easy to chew, and it didn't even stuff the teeth.

"Grandpa, the shredded radish is very soft, you can try it too." Pei Xingning added some shredded radish to Pei Suiyin, and Pei Suiyin said repeatedly.

"It's really good, it's delicious, which one bought it?"

Pei Shuo scratched his head, "I didn't buy it, I asked A Yao to make it."

Which A Yao?

When did the elder brother meet the girl?

Two people, one big and one small, were questioning at the same time.

Jiang is still so old. Pei Suiyin quickly remembered that six years ago, Pei Shuo used a bitter trick to poke a wound for a little girl and looked shaky: "Have she come to the capital?"

"Um."

"I see."

"Grandpa, don't make any decisions about her."

Pei Xingning looked at his grandfather and then looked at Pei Shuo's attacking the maneuver. He felt like a kitten scratching the wall. Who are you talking about? Don't play the puzzle!

...

A Yao didn't know the little troubles of the Pei family. As the Chinese New Year approached, the boss's wife was going to take her two children back to her parents' home. It is said that the journey was still long, so she gave her a holiday in advance and it was not until the eighth day of the Chinese New Year to open.

It's vacation!

Rounding is equal to a winter vacation!

A Yao was so happy that she received a meager salary. She slept until almost the next day, so she went out to find workers.

Dig a pond in the backyard, lay a thick layer of pond mud, plant some lotus leaves, wrap a circle of stones on the shore, and raise a goose to prevent some people from climbing over the wall. Humph! Then you have to dig a cellar, right next to the kitchen, which is convenient for stocking up ice and food.

In the original plan, the goose was dug a pond before buying it. However, in a few days, a vendor would carry two cages of live goose through the streets and alleys. A Yao saw a cute little goose, and didn't care whether the goose could help her watch the house. She raised one first. If it didn't work, it would be fattened and slaughtered to eat.

And then...

A little goose who had just become a new family ran around the ground with his wings scattered, teasing the puppy sleeping under the tree. When it came up, it was a battle between two young goose dogs. The scene was like a flying goose dog jumping all over the ground.

Did she cheat herself?

A Yao fell into deep thought and went to the kitchen to take out the whetstone, poured the well water upwards, sharpening the knife at a dog and a goose.

These two finally stopped.

After the day was settled, A Yao invited the workers to start work with Aunt Wang.

"Aunt Wang, thank you for your hard work." A Yao rubbed the flour in the basin and thanked Aunt Wang.

"What's the matter? It's all neighbors." Aunt Wang smiled, "What kind of dishes do you want to cook today? This is the first day, you have to eat and drink..."

"Make stewed lamb, my friend beat me the sheep." A Yaonu was stewing in the big pot. Seeing Aunt Wang's thin eyebrows raised, she obviously disagreed. A Yao leaned over and whispered: "Don't worry, I had already eaten a good part of it with him yesterday. The remaining hind legs and olive lily, I was worried that no one would help me eat it."

"Just be sure if you know it."

"One stewed lamb, then another braised pork, braised chicken with chestnuts, a pot of fish head tofu soup, stir-fry a few plates of zucchini, and steamed buns for eating. What do you think?" Although there are not many dishes, four dishes and one soup, steamed buns are greeted casually. The three meat dishes are hard dishes, each serving can fill the stomach, and the mouth is full of oil after eating, especially stewed lamb. The more recent the price of lamb has been kept going up, and it can be on the table.

"...It's not the case for the New Year." Aunt Wang said.

A Yao smiled. She cooked for practice: "Don't everyone just want to celebrate the New Year."
