Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 741 Winter Solstice (10.03 Supplement)

  The winter solstice in Dajin is the big festival second only to the New Year. The emperor will sacrifice to the sky on this day, the officials and the noble family will sacrifice to the gods, and the people will sacrifice to the ancestors.

  On this day, the border gates will be closed for truce. Soldiers will have a holiday and officials will also have a holiday. Even the merchants on the street will have a holiday and the market will be closed.

  So people will prepare a variety of ingredients the day before or two days before the winter solstice, so as not to go shopping on the street on the winter solstice day.

  The winter solstice holiday is also held in places like government schools and academies every year.

  When they were in Qili Village, Mr. Zhuang usually only gave them three days of vacation, but when they arrived in Yizhou City, they knew that people generally stayed in school for five days.

  Lao Liu arrived in Yizhou City on the day when Baishan was on holiday.

  This time she also brought her daughter-in-law, Zheng.

  The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are naturally not good at living in the small courtyard, but their original courtyard is too far away from here, and it is already remote enough to be farther than the city gate.

Bai Shan was still worried about where his grandmother and mother came to live, who knew that after they picked up someone at the gate of the city, the convoy went directly to Huanxi Street next to Kangxue Street, and then they stopped in front of a courtyard. .

  Bai Shan jumped out of the car first, looked up at the plaque, and was stunned when he found the words "Bai Zhai" in the letter.

  Lao Mrs. Liu helped Grandma Liu get out of the car. Seeing her grandson for a moment, she smiled and said, “Don’t look at it. This is my home. There will be opportunities to see in the future. Let’s go in first.”

   Entered the gate, Man Bao was amazed, walked to Bai Shan and whispered: "Your family has a house in Yizhou City, why haven't you heard that before?"

  Shirajiro also caught up from behind, "Yes, didn't you say that your house is far away, too far from Kangxue Street, is it inconvenient?"

  Bai Shan: "...I just knew it myself."

  Grandma Liu assisted Mrs. Liu to the main courtyard. This yard is a three-entry yard with three rows side by side, which is very large.

  At least looking at Man Bao, a courtyard is about the same size as the small courtyard they live in now, and there are a total of eight such small courtyards here, including the large courtyard in the main hall, that is nine.

Mrs. Liu sat down in the first seat, and then explained to Bai Shan: "This is the yard that our family bought. Since you were admitted to the government, I have made people pay attention to it, and it took a lot of effort. I bought it, but it was repaired not long ago."

  Lao Mrs. Liu smiled and asked, "How do you like this yard?"

  Bai Shan nodded and said, "It looks pretty good."

   "Then you and Mr. Zhuang will move in, OK?"

Bai Shan thought for a while and shook his head, "Grandma, we are used to living in a small courtyard, and it is closer to the residence. To go to school in this yard, you must first go around and enter the gate, and then go to the main street to go to the residence. It's so far."

  Lao Mrs. Liu smiled slightly, patted his hand and said, “If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. Just stay here for a few days, and I will let the servants go and clean up the house for you.”

   said again: "I will send someone to invite Mr. Zhuang in a while. He is your teacher and helps you a lot. We only arrived in Yizhou City. Thank you, Mr., too."

  Bai Shan responded happily.

  Lao Mrs. Liu looked at Man Bao, took her little hand and pulled the person to her, looked at her carefully, and smiled: “It’s just that you haven’t seen you for a few months. You have grown taller and more beautiful.”

  Man Bao was so happy that his eyes lit up, and he repeatedly asked: "Really, really?"

   "Really, ask you Aunt Zheng if you don't believe me."

  Zheng smiled and nodded, "It is getting better and better, especially this face, white and tender."

  Said, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched it.

  Man Bao: ...she knew that when she saw Aunt Zheng, she would pinch her face.

  Lao Mrs. Liu looked at it with a smile, and praised her full treasure. This time she looked at Bai Erlang and continued to boast, “Erlang is also more handsome, this one is also taller, how is your schoolwork?”

  Hair Jiro, who was very happy after listening to the compliment, was choked. Why do adults ask about their studies habitually after complimenting others?

Although Mrs. Liu had just moved in, she called someone to repair and clean the room in advance. This time, there were so many people who brought her, so she quickly packed everything up, and the kitchen began to get busy, preparing for dinner tonight.

Before Mr. Zhuang arrived, Mrs. Liu took the three to talk, "On the day of the winter solstice, there will be a banquet in the Bai family on Kangxue Street. All three of you will go with us."

  She smiled to Bai Erlang and said, "Your father will come over tomorrow, and we will go together the next day."

   Baijiro: "Why do my father want to go too? Isn't that your relative?"

  Bai Shan: "...Are you stupid? Your surname is Bai?"

  Man Bao laughed loudly, and said happily, "Daddy Shanbao is your cousin, isn’t your cousin's clan also your dad’s clan?"

Bai Erlang reacted with hindsight, and then he said in grief, "My father never told me, didn't Bai Shan memorize a score? I never memorized it. Where did I know Longzhou Tomoko? Whose house is the third room or something?"

  Lao Mrs. Liu laughed and said: "That's your father's bad. When I look back, I said to him, the son of the gentry, how can he not recite his genealogy?"

She told them about the relationship. "The housewarming is a great joy. The one who moved here is considered your cousin. He has a single name. He is the protagonist of the third house of Zhizitang in Longzhou. It’s the fourth server, and it’s even the fifth server with yours."

  So blood and relationship are not very close.

  Lao Mrs. Liu smiled and said: “Although the blood is not close, but after all, they belong to the same race and are in a foreign land. Naturally, they have to connect together. That's why he sends out invitations. Once he has invited, we will go.”

  "As far as the relationship is concerned, his family is closer to the aunt who married in Yizhou City. Bai Yu's father is the cousin of his aunt..."

  Lao Mrs. Liu said: "Auntie, you are going to be auntie. Her son Qiao Ji is a governor, and Bai Yu is a magistrate."

  Bai Shandao: "They are all Grade 5, but Bai Yu is half-grade higher than Qiao Ji."

  Lao Mrs. Liu knocked him on the head, "I want to call my cousin."

   Then he said: "But in terms of real power, your cousin Joe is better. But these things are not something you children should consider."

  Lao Liu smiled and said: "You only need to know these things. When you are a guest at someone's house, you can keep the etiquette. For the rest, you should play, eat, and don't fight or squabble, you know?"

  The three of them responded.

  Lao Mrs. Liu pulled Man Bao and said with a smile: “At that day, you will follow me and your Aunt Zheng. When you first arrive in Yizhou City, you should know more girls of the same age so that you can play together.”

  Man Bao remembered the second sister Fu, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and nodded and said: "I know Grandma Liu, I will be very friendly to people and make good friends."

  Bai Shan said from the side: "I think it's a bit difficult."

Mrs. Liu patted him lightly, "Don't bully my sister."

   "What sister, she is still my senior sister."

Good night
