The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 231 Chinese New Year

In the few days before the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Tang family had been decorating their new home.

Tang Yichen was responsible for writing the couplets and also wrote many blessing characters, so that "blessings" would fill the entire house.

Li Taohua and several children cut a lot of paper-cuts for the windows, and beautiful patterns were pasted on the inside and outside of every room.

Tang Dafu made two huge red lanterns and hung them on either side of the gate. Li Taohua, seeing how beautiful they were, asked him to make some smaller ones and hang them in various corners of the house.

Xue Weifeng followed suit, writing the word "Fu." His handwriting wasn't as good as Tang Yichen's, and Tang Yichen despised it, but the rest of the village didn't mind. Furthermore, this wealthy young master had no airs at all, and in just a few days, he became a village celebrity. He could even skillfully call out the names of the villagers he met.

After decorating the new home, it’s time to prepare for the New Year. A lot has happened this year and everyone has been very busy. I want to relax during this time and just think about happy things.

Qin Huiyin cut out many patterns and went to the Song family to decorate them. She also took Tang Dafu's two small red lanterns and hung them directly at the door of the Song family.

Song Ruize didn't have much expectation for the New Year. But seeing Qin Huiyin busying around, he also took out his pen and ink to write a couplet.

When Qin Huiyin saw the couplet written by Song Ruize, she was surprised. His handwriting was different from Tang Yichen's. His handwriting was sharp, like the shadow of a flying sword.

"Is it too ugly?" Song Ruize saw Qin Huiyin staring at the words he wrote, and a look of discomfort flashed in his eyes.

He had no one to teach him, so he practiced with calligraphy copies he bought. But for some reason, he always felt that those copies were not very good, so he developed his own way of writing.

"Brother, you write so well." Qin Huiyin said, "This is the legendary talented player."

"You don't have to comfort me."

"Do I look so untrustworthy?" Qin Huiyin patted his arm. "That's too much! I'm so sincere, and you actually doubt me."

"I believe you."

"That's more like it. By the way, come over to our place for the reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year!"

"No, my last name is Song."

"My last name is Qin!" Qin Huiyin hugged Song Ruize's arm. "I'll make dumplings. Let's eat together, okay?"

"Yinyin, the New Year is different from other times. It's not good to have outsiders around."

"There's another guy named Wei at home. You should learn from him, then he won't feel embarrassed." Qin Huiyin was dissatisfied. "I don't care. You have to accompany me."

Song Ruize still didn't agree. However, Qin Huiyin kept pestering him and insisted that he stay with her, so he finally nodded and agreed.

On New Year's Eve, Qin Huiyin made dumplings, and the whole family ate the steaming hot dumplings from the hot pot.

Song Ruize's reappearance at the Tang family was not surprising to the family, and they tacitly accepted his joining. Even Tang Yichen, who had a bad relationship with him, didn't say anything.

After the meal, Xue Weifeng said, "There will be a surprise later."

When fireworks appeared in the sky, everyone understood what surprise he was talking about.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Isn't it too early to go on vacation?" Tang Yi said with a smile.

"We have fireworks today and tomorrow. We have them in abundance." Xue Weifeng said generously.

"Brother Wei Feng, what does your family do?" Tang Yi smiled curiously.

"Hehe...keep it a secret." Xue Weifeng said mysteriously, "Anyway, when we get to the capital, I'll invite you to my house. You'll know then."

The village had never been so lively as it was today. Most of them had never seen fireworks before. When the fireworks exploded in the sky, the whole village came out.

"It must be the fireworks bought by the young master of the Tang family."

"So beautiful."

Song Ruize and Qin Huiyin stood side by side, with Tang Yichen on the other side of Qin Huiyin. They looked at the fireworks in the sky, feeling very warm in their hearts.

Tang Dafu put his arm around Li Taohua's shoulders and looked at her affectionately: "Wife, we will be together from now on and never separate."

Li Taohua nodded.

Who can tell what will happen in the future?

However, his sincerity is very precious at this moment, so I won't pour cold water on him.

Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao stood beside Tang Yichen.

Xue Weifeng squeezed over, sandwiched between Qin Huiyin and Tang Yichen, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "The fireworks here are not very good. The fireworks in the capital can be transformed into various patterns. However, we have you here, and you are more interesting than those people in the capital, so the fireworks here are not bad."

The fireworks lasted for a long time.

Qin Huiyin looked at Xue Weifeng with the eyes of a boy who was giving away money: "Brother Weifeng, you are too extravagant."

Xue Weifeng waved his hands, as if it was nothing.

The fireworks display was over and everyone went back to the house to warm themselves by the fire.

In fact, it wasn't cold at all in the new house. They ate dried fruits, cracked melon seeds, shelled peanuts, and enjoyed a variety of cakes.

I had to keep watch tonight, and I thought it would be difficult. After all, I've been going to bed and waking up early since arriving in this plane, so my body clock is very stable. However, I had so many people to chat and laugh with me, especially Xue Weifeng, who was very good at telling stories. He told them about his experiences along the way, and it was like listening to a storyteller. I actually felt more energetic the more I listened.

"It's almost time, let's take a break. We have to get up early tomorrow." Li Taohua saw Qin Weiyin yawning several times, and calculated the time to end tonight's activities.

Qin Huiyin pulled Song Ruize: "Don't leave either. It's so late, it's so dark outside, and the ground is very slippery."

"We have a guest room at home," Li Taohua said. "If you don't mind, you can stay here tonight. Yinyin doesn't want you to be alone. If you don't want her to worry, just listen to her."

Song Ruize touched Qin Huiyin's hair and said, "It's just a short distance in the same village. What's there to worry about? That's my home. I have to protect it. I'll come over tomorrow."

"Okay then!" Qin Huiyin took out a lantern and handed it to him. "Be careful."

After Song Ruize left, the whole family returned to their respective rooms and lay on the warm big beds.

Xue Weifeng listened to the sound of the wind outside, but his mind became more and more clear, and he couldn't fall asleep.

He suddenly missed home.

He hadn't thought much of it at first. After all, it was rare for him to leave Beijing, and there were so many more interesting things to do outside. He had even met such an interesting family. He felt very comfortable living here.

However, now lying here alone, thinking about the warm family atmosphere of the Tang family, I suddenly thought of my family far away in Beijing.

Without this troublemaker like him, do they not have to apologize everywhere anymore?

Xue Weifeng didn't know how he fell asleep, he was woken up by the crackling sound of firecrackers. When he heard the sound, he immediately regained his energy, put on his clothes and ran out excitedly.

"Brother Jinzhi, get up, hurry up, I'm here to give you a red envelope."
