At 6 o'clock, Tian Sanjie arrived at Mu's family. Seeing that the hair on Tian Sanjie's forehead was covered with water droplets condensed from her breath, Mu Yi was so moved. He quickly asked Tian Sanjie to sit by the fire.

Warm up the fire.

"Mu Yi, are you ready with the gift money?"

Mu Yi quickly took out the eight thousand yuan.

Sister Tian smiled as soon as she saw it. "Okay, okay, where is the meat? There is still a piece of meat."

"Sister Tian San, the meat is ready. I'm going to take it out right now."

Father took out the meat and gave it to Mu Yi to carry. It was really long.

"Muyi, find a plate and bring it out. Find some red paper and seal the money to make it look nice."

The Mu family really didn't prepare red paper, so they took some off the couplets and tied the money around their waists.

"Muyi, you put the money away and wait until you get to Lily's house. Then you take it out and put it on a plate for me and you take it in."

Mu Yi quickly found a plastic bag and put the meat in it. Sister Tian took the plate. Each of them took a flashlight and went out.

It was still dark, so the two of them didn't say a word along the way and just hurried on. When they arrived at the door of Jin Baihe's house, Mu Yi felt that he was already sweating. I guess Sister Tian was about the same. Mu Yi still had a gift of body temperature with him.

He took it out and put it on a plate, with Third Sister Tian holding it. Then he took the meat out of the plastic bag, straightened it out and stretched it before lifting it up. The two of them gently pushed open the big iron door of Jin Baihe's house.

The lights in Jin Baihe's main room and under the eaves were turned on, and the door of the main room was also opened.

Sister Tian San and Mu Yi entered the house, and Mother Jin and Father Jin quickly took the things in their hands. Then they motioned for Mu Yi and Tian San's family to sit on the sofa.

While the two sat down, Jin's father had already lit the scented wax. Then, he took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Jin Lily quickly fetched the spring water prepared in advance and began to grind the ink. Jin's mother went into the kitchen to give Muyi and Tian Sanjie each

I cooked a large bowl of poached eggs.

Muyi and Third Sister Tian ate the poached eggs. Jin Lily also ground the ink.

Jin's father spread out a small piece of rice paper, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and neatly wrote the characters "Jin Lily's birth date" on it in small regular script. Then he waited until the ink was dry. Then he took out a piece of red paper and wrote,

Cut out a piece, fold it, and use glue to make it look like an envelope. Then carefully fold the paper with Jin Lily's birth date and put it into the red envelope, and then use a little glue to gently seal the mouth of the envelope. This is for

It is convenient to take the wood back and take it apart to "join the eight characters".

After sealing the red envelope, Dad Jin picked up the pen and wrote on it "We will always be united, and we will be together for hundreds of years" in eight small regular letters. When the ink dried, Dad Jin held the "eight-character" envelope in both hands and prepared to hand it over solemnly.

Give it to Muyi.

Mu Yi quickly stretched out his hands and took the "eight-character" envelope. It felt like he was not simply receiving a "eight-character" envelope, but a heavy trust.

When Mu Yi took it, Jin's father gently waved his hand, signaling Mu Yi and the others to leave.

Mu Yi looked at Jin Lily affectionately, and Jin Lily was also staring at Mu Yi affectionately. The moment their eyes met, there was a wonderful resonance in the hearts of Mu Yi and Jin Lily. The two of them nodded firmly at the same time almost

Nodding. Then, Mu Yi put the "eight-character" envelope into his arms, and the two of them went out and rushed to Mu's family.

Along the way, as we walked, the sky gradually became brighter. Mu Yi's mood also suddenly became brighter with the sky.

When they arrived at home, Mu Deqian quickly asked Sister Tian to sit down and warm herself by the fire. Mu Yi also quickly took out the "eight-character" envelope to warm his hands. After Mu Deqian took the "eight-character" envelope, he placed it solemnly on the shrine.

Then I lit the scented wax.

Mu Yi guessed that these mysterious rituals might represent Jin Lily entering the Mu family?

After Mudeqian finished these rituals, he turned around and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Tian."

"It's not hard. It's not hard. Can you talk now?" Tian San asked Mu Deqian.

Mu Deqian smiled and said, "You can talk now."

Sister Tian San smiled and said: "Ah, my mouth is so tight. If there is nothing else to do now, I will go back first."

"Sister Tian San, you want to eat here." Mu Yi said quickly.

"It's okay. It's afternoon for dinner. I'll go back and do some things at home first. I'll come down when the time is right."

"I'll come up to pick you up then."

"No need. You are still busy today. I can just come down by myself."

"Then let's go take a ride together."

"No, no. It's not that far. I'll be close in a moment."

"All the way. We also have to go buy groceries."

Mu Xiaojie carried the bamboo pole on his back and went to the street with Third Sister Tian to catch a three-wheeler and ran towards Longzhong.

Sister Tian San asked curiously: "What vegetables are you going to buy?"

"I'm going to buy some pork, roast duck, fish, eggs, peanuts, tofu, fungus, celery..." Mu Yi said a lot.

"Are you going to hold the Nine Bowls?"

"no."

"Then what are you doing buying so many vegetables?"

Tian Sanjie's words reminded Mu Yi. The car soon drove to the door of Jin Lily's house and stopped. When Tian Sanjie got out of the car, Jin Lily also ran out.

When Mu saw Jin Lily running out, he was very surprised. "Sayuri, how did you know I was at your door?"

Jin Lily smiled and said, "It feels like it! Brother, what are you going to do?"

Mu Yi suddenly seemed to have seen a savior. "Sayuri, get in the car quickly and go shopping with me."

Seeing Mu Yi's impatient look, Jin Lily couldn't help but get in the car. The master pulled the three of them and continued to drive toward Longzhong. In the car, Mu Yi told Jin Lily about the dinner treat. Jin Lily felt something in her heart.

Counted.

The three of them arrived at Longzhong Street. They got off the car and went straight to the vegetable market. Maybe they came early, or maybe they were lucky. Under Jin Lily's guidance, they quickly put pork, beef brisket, small intestines, pork liver,

I bought fish, mushrooms, fungus, yellow flowers, peas, tomatoes, ear fungus roots, ham sausage, soaked chicken feet, peanuts, magnolia flakes, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, gravy, etc. And the expenses were strictly controlled within the budget.

within.

Muyi asked with some confusion: "Sayuri, how do you prepare these vegetables?"

Jin Lily looked at the silly Mu Yi in front of her and laughed. "My brother, there are times when you can't do it?"

"Hehehe. I'm not good at this. How about you help me with guidance? Otherwise, I really don't know how to entertain everyone in a while."

"Okay. My brother, let me help you. You have to give me lucky money."

"Fa, fa, fa, definitely."

In fact, just when Jin Lily heard the sound of Huo Sanlun stopping at the door of her house, Jin's father and mother Jin in the house also heard it. They saw Jin Lily running out of the gate and stood up to take a look. They saw Tian San

My sister got out of the car and Jin Lily got in the car again, and she knew that she had followed Mu Yi and ran away. Jin's father burst into tears all of a sudden and couldn't help crying. From the moment he wrote the "eight characters", it meant

The countdown to his daughter's departure from home began. Jin's father had been suppressing his emotions. But at that moment, he could no longer control it.

When Father Jin cried, Mother Jin persuaded him. "Old Jin, don't be reluctant to let go of your daughter. When your daughter grows up, sooner or later, she will have to do this..." After persuading, Mother Jin couldn't help crying.

.

The two of them were crying in the room, which made Xiao Qing wake up. He quickly put on his clothes and went downstairs. When he saw his parents crying, he didn't know how to persuade him. He could only sit down.

She whispered to the side: "Dad, Mom, don't cry. This is the New Year. My sister didn't marry in a far away place and never see each other for ten or eight years. Don't cry. Don't.

I cried..."

Hearing the cry, Sister Tian quickly ran over to take a look. She found that it was Father Jin and Mother Jin who were crying. There was another round of persuasion. Maybe it was because Sister Tian was here. Mother Jin and Mother Jin stopped crying.

Voice.

Jin Lily followed Mu Yi to Wattang. As soon as she entered the house, Mu Yi's mother became very happy. She quickly greeted her: "Sister Jin, come to the house quickly."

Jin Lily also greeted obediently: "Happy New Year, sis. Happy New Year, uncle."

Everyone simply made some lunch. Jin Lily put on her apron and directed Mu Yi and her two younger brothers to start washing vegetables and cutting meat. Everyone got busy in an orderly manner. Neighbor Xiao Linyin

and Aunt Jin also came over to help one after another, and even Aunt and Uncle Yao also came over. It was already past one in the afternoon, and the father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law’s family came one after another. After everyone had almost done the preparations, dinner

It was also cooked. My uncle and aunt's family just arrived.

As soon as my eldest aunt entered the courtyard, she pretended to look at this and that, as if she was helping out. Mu Yi saw it and remembered it in her heart.

Calculating the number of guests, big and small, there were almost four tables. Mu Yi and his uncle, Yao Shu, and brothers went to Xiao Linyin's house, Aunt Jin's house, and Yao Shu's house, each took over a table and four benches, and settled everyone down.

.

Considering that the weather was a bit cold, Jin Lily also asked Mu Yi to borrow two large stoves. He also borrowed some kitchen utensils from Aunt Jin's house. In this way, Jin Lily was responsible for one pot and Uncle Yao was responsible for another pot.

The soup was still simmering on the stove, and a rice steaming pot stood beside the stove.

Seeing that everyone had almost arrived, he started to heat oil for cooking. After a lot of hard work, the four tables were filled with fragrant aromas, and the mouth-watering dishes were ready. Others helped serve the dishes, and Jin Lily quietly moved the wood

He shouted aside and asked: "Brother, is there one person missing who hasn't come yet?"

"You mean my grandma?"

"Um."

"I went to invite her yesterday and she agreed. She hasn't come yet. I don't know why."

"Then go and invite me again quickly."

Mu Yi hurriedly went next door. Sure enough, grandma was still at home, but she was alone. The fourth uncle and his family didn't know where they had gone. Mu Yi finally invited grandma over.

Four tables full of people sat down and ate the tomato-braised beef brisket, braised carp, braised pork belly, green pepper shredded pork, fungus meat slices, hot crispy sausage, and tender fried liver slices made by Golden Lily. They all praised it. It is the favorite of the children.

There are also ham sausages and roasted peas, as well as soaked chicken feet, cold folded ear roots, and cold cucumbers are also very popular, the crispy peanuts are just right, and the three delicacies soup made with mushrooms, yellow flowers, magnolia slices and broth is also great

popular.

This full table was filled with twelve dishes and one soup. Whether it was the quality of the dishes or the taste of the dishes, it had exceeded the standard of nine bowls. It was suitable for all ages. It really made everyone admire Jin Lily. Jin

Lily not only relieved Mu Yi's girth, but also added luster to Mu Yi's face.

After seeing everyone off, Mu Yi took Jin Baihe and Third Sister Tian back to Jin's main road. On the way, Third Sister Tian told the two about how Jin's father and Jin's mother had burst into tears.
