"Isn't it, I have a feeling of unreality."

"Have you seen it? There are a lot of things in this lucky bag."

"Look, it's all good stuff."

"I have never seen such a beautiful couplet."

"And the beef balls, I've never eaten beef when I grow up~"

"These things add up to a lot of money, but the Song family gave them away as soon as they said they would, without even blinking."

"The Song family is really a good leader family. For a master family like them, I would be willing to sell them to the current people."

"You have a good idea~ People still look down on you even if you are so stupid."

"I have to say that the Song family really put their heart into it. The lucky bag is full of items that can be used during the New Year."

"I heard from the Song family that they were all supplies brought by Ms. Xia, and some of them were from overseas. I am reluctant to use them."

"It's a pity if such a beautiful object is pasted on the door and window and exposed to the wind and sun."

"Yeah, I plan to collect it. If such a beautiful object is pasted on the door and window, wouldn't that be a waste of good things?"

Fortunately, Xia Ning didn't hear everyone's comments at the moment. If she knew that the folks had treasured up the couplets she had prepared, she would probably be speechless and dumbfounded, wouldn't she?

The reason why the couplets are prepared for everyone is to let every household paste them on the door. Besides, isn’t the purpose of the couplets themselves to be pasted on the door frame to add happiness and New Year’s wishes to the family?
If everyone collects them, what's the point of couplets?If the gates of every house are bare, wouldn't that send a loneliness?
It wasn't until 11:30 am ([-]:[-] am) that the villagers finally returned home one after another, and the lively scene in front of the Song family compound gradually returned to tranquility.

"Finally finished."

"Let's have dinner, I'm hungry after a busy morning."

"Well, everyone has a rest after dinner, and it's time to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."

The Song family entered the dining room and sat down directly. Although they looked a little tired, everyone was in good spirits. After all, it is Chinese New Year, and people are refreshed when they celebrate happy events.

On a festive day, you should be full of joy, so that you can have good luck.

Fortunately, the Song family's meals don't need to be done by the female relatives themselves, otherwise they have to cook after a busy morning, and they really can't bear it.

Even though their bodies are better than those of the ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital, they are still not as good as those women in the village who are used to doing farm work all the year round.

When Mrs. Ding saw that the masters were all seated, she hurried to the kitchen to remind her, and then brought her granddaughter, Qiao Xin, and the others to bring the dishes to the table.

Today, the Song family's kitchen is still in charge of Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because their cooking skills are really good, and the Song family is very satisfied with the food, and they don't want to change to other people.

However, the Song family did not let them sign the contract of sale. After all, Cao Tianrong was running errands for the Song family and was not a servant in the true sense. So the Song family followed Xia Ning's suggestion and signed an employment contract for their family. Pay wages according to salaries.

Therefore, the working mode of Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is similar to that of office workers in later generations, commuting to and from get off work on a regular basis.

For supper or something, Mrs. Ding and the others will be in charge.

In addition, the Song family are not the kind of people who can't take care of themselves, they can complete their daily life by themselves, and they don't need to have servants to follow them all the time.

After lunch, everyone in the Song family took a nap for a while and then began to get busy with their duties. After all, today is New Year's Eve, the most important day of the New Year's festival, so naturally everyone will not be lazy.

After Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law prepared all the basic ingredients, the Song family's family members asked them to go home to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and they did the rest by themselves.

"Aunt Xu, this is a New Year gift for you. I wish your family peace and happiness."

Xu Wanqing handed the other party a lucky bag, but the things contained in it were slightly different from the New Year lucky bag, and there were no objects such as couplets. After all, Cao Tianrong had received it before, and it would be useless to give too much.

This is a New Year's benefit specially prepared by the Song family for the helpers at home, and it contains some dry food.

"Thank you, Madam, and I wish you and your family well."

Mrs. Da Xu accepted the lucky bag very gratefully. If it was before, she would not have dared to accept it, and she would still feel very panic in her heart, but now she has been with the Song family for several months, and she has already understood their character and behavior, so she also accepted it. No more politeness.

Then, Song's mother took out another red envelope, "You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have worked hard during this time, you have to accept it, this is a little sympathy from our family."

"This..." Mrs. Da Xu was at a loss for a moment. If she could accept the New Year gift with the cheek, she would be ashamed to accept the Song family's money again.

Mother Song stuffed it directly into the other party's hands, "Take it away, everyone has a share, it's getting late, you should go home and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."

In this way, Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no choice but to accept the Song family's wishes, and went home happily.

"Okay, let's do it."

So, the female family members of the Song family began to cook up the New Year's Eve dinner. Of course, Xia Ning must be the chef.

A few female relatives helped Xia Ning, and everyone chatted while doing things, but they cooperated very tacitly. From time to time, there were laughter and laughter from the women.

Suddenly, the Song family's kitchen became the busiest place.

And the men are not idle, they are studying the use of coal in the main room. Song Shaoqin has browsed through many books before, and finally found a lot of information about coal.

But this is not the 21st century after all. They have to combine the actual situation of Baiyun Village to maximize the value of coal.

After pondering for the past few days, Song Shaoqin has mastered a lot, and he is explaining and discussing with his father, uncle and brothers.

It would be a waste if such a good resource is left unused.

In the corner of the living room, several children were playing in the play area. The adults were busy now, so they had to find fun by themselves.

**
At six o'clock in the afternoon (04:30 in the afternoon), the chimneys of every household in the village are emitting bursts of smoke, and everyone is welcoming the arrival of the New Year in full swing.

The female relatives prepare the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen, and the men take their children to paste couplets, paste blessing characters, hang red lanterns, and peanut candies are also placed on the wooden table at home.

The sound of children laughing and playing can be heard from time to time in the village, and the whole village is filled with the New Year atmosphere.

At two o'clock in the afternoon (05:30 p.m.), there was a burst of firecrackers in the village.

"New Year~!"

"New Year's Eve is here, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner~"

Good night~
