The next day is the New Year's Eve. This year has lost a lot of atmosphere due to the disaster. It can be said that every household spends this year quite simply.

However, Mei's house became very lively due to the arrival of the uncle's family. Although the food was not as good as in previous years, it was still passable.

Mei Niang went outside alone and caught two crucian carp in the space. After raising them for ten days, they actually doubled in size.

Then he took out the fish and said that he caught it in the river. He felt bad for her. Don't let your daughter freeze when you catch fish in such a cold weather.

However, it was good to have fish to eat during the Chinese New Year. He happily slaughtered the fish and cleaned it up, just waiting for dinner.

The family is so arrogant that Mei Niang didn’t dare to enter the space at home. She just entered outside once. The potatoes in the field have purple and white flowers in bloom, and the corn sticks are half a foot long. They will be harvested soon.

..

There were at least three or four sticks on each pole. This was the result of her cursory glance. She must have gained quite a lot from this crop of corns.

Thinking that she would be able to see the profits at a glance, Mei Niang was so happy that she didn't even notice it, and there was no doubt in taking advantage of the festive New Year.

The couplet was written by Yun Xuan, and it was a bit more joyful to put it on the door. Mei Niang had a good impression of this cousin who didn't talk much but could write and do math.

Yunxuan's overall appearance is a bit bookish. His appearance is not very handsome but he is very good-looking. He is thin but not weak and has a tall and straight figure. His face is not very pale because he has been running around outside all year round. His wise eyes seem to be able to see through everything.

At the age of nineteen, he was now the breadwinner of the family, and he was a well-educated man. He was different from the country men in the village. When he was mentioned by others, he was also a good young man who was second to none.

Especially Yunxuan's inadvertent attitude toward her and Yueniang moved her very much. He really loved her as if she were her own sister, and she became a little more intimate with Yunxuan, her cousin.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Yunxuan pulled Mei Niang outside the house when no one was paying attention.

Mei Niang was about to laugh at him because he had to take her outside because he had something to say that he couldn't say in front of the family, when she saw Yun Xuan stretched out his hand and handed it to her. There was also a piece of silver in his hand, which was more than three taels.

"It's the Chinese New Year, and I don't know what to give you. You can take these. Although they aren't much, you can buy a calf and raise it after the Chinese New Year so that it can be used to plow the fields."

Mei Niang knew that he had taken the cattle away from her second uncle's family, and she thought that her family had no cattle to plow the fields, so she acted like this, which was really considerate.

But now he is just a small steward outside, and his monthly salary is only a few hundred dollars. Three taels of silver is not a small amount for him, so how can she ask for it?

After several refusals, Yunxuan forcefully pushed the money into Mei Niang's hand, "Second sister, this money will be used as a gift from me to add to your makeup. When you get married in the future, I won't give you another money. If you still want to pay it back,

I just think it’s too little.”

After talking about this, Meiniang couldn't push it anymore, but she secretly made up her mind: if one day the life is really difficult and she can no longer survive, she will definitely help her uncle's family as if they were her own family.

The uncle's family stayed at Mei's parents' house for five days and left early on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. It was Chinese New Year, so it was time to visit Li's parents' house.

He packed two bags with sweet potatoes and potatoes. In previous years, this was not a rare thing, but this year it couldn't be better.

Mrs. Li did not shirk. After thanking her, she loaded them all into the car and hid them securely so that they would not be snatched away by hungry people on the road.
