Chapter 664 New Year’s Eve Dinner
The villagers of Lihua Village burst into laughter, all able to detect the smugness in Old Yuan's words.
At this moment, Yao Yao, who had just finished her bath, was carried over by Yuan Lao Er. She was wearing a festive red dress, with her hair tied in two buns and red pearl flowers on either side. There was a red dot between her eyebrows, and her fair skin and cheeks were rosy. She blinked her big, bright eyes and smiled as she saw the hall full of people. Her dimples were shallow, and she looked like a doll in a New Year's painting.
The child greeted people with a sweet, childlike voice.
"Happy Chinese New Year to Grandpa, Grandma, Uncles, Aunts, and Madams."
He was holding a handful of fried meatballs in his chubby hands.
The villagers of Lihua Village were instantly melted by that soft, sweet voice.
"Happy Chinese New Year, little hero Yao Yao!"
"Happy Chinese New Year." Yao Yao's eyes crinkled into crescents, her smile sweet and lovely, revealing a set of tiny teeth.
“Look at Yao Yao, she looks extraordinary! Do you still remember the scene that day? She defeated that evil Taoist priest and made the Prime Minister’s family reveal their true colors, saving those people whose luck had been drained.”
"I remember, I saw it clearly. That evil Taoist priest even released a huge mirror that covered half the sky, which made me extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, the mirror is gone, otherwise I would have been constantly worried about it if it had been hanging there."
"Yes, yes, Yao Yao is really amazing!"
The villagers of Lihua Village praised Yao Yao one after another, making the large front hall very lively.
Yao Yao ate her fried meatballs, smiling as she looked at the villagers of Pear Blossom Village.
Her little mouth was stuffed full, which made her very cute. The villagers of Pear Blossom Village felt a tickle in their hearts and rushed forward to hug her.
Yao Yao let them hug her and pinch her cheeks, but nothing could shake her desire to eat fried meatballs.
Time flew by and it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Twenty tables were set up in the courtyard, and one after another, exquisite dishes were served and placed on the tables, all of which they had never seen before.
According to Mrs. Shen, these dishes are all local specialties.
There are Eight Treasures Tofu, Eight Treasures Duck, Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, White Cut Chicken, Roast Suckling Pig...
Each dish exudes an enticing aroma.
It makes your mouth water...
Old Yuan and Old Lady Liu stood up, holding their wine glasses, and said with smiles, "Time really flies, another year has passed."
We would like to thank you for your acceptance and hospitality. It would have been thanks to your understanding that we were able to settle down safely in this unfamiliar place.
In the new year, I wish everyone all your dreams come true and peace and safety!
"I'll drink this first, you old lady," said Old Lady Liu, downing a glass of wine with great gusto.
Old Yuan added, "The old woman is right. If it weren't for everyone's acceptance, we would have had a hard time establishing ourselves in Pear Blossom Village."
When they first arrived in Lihua Village, Old Lady Lin from next door was worried that they wouldn't have any vegetables to eat, so she specially brought them some. Other families did the same, all worried that they wouldn't have anything to eat since they were new to the village, and they all brought over food from their homes. This touched the Yuan family deeply.
Because of their actions, now that the Yuan family has prospered, their first thought is to lead the villagers of Lihua Village out of Lihua Village.
Only the villagers of Lihua Village know that if it weren't for their kindness that day, they would probably still be in Lihua Village right now.
Not to mention coming to the bustling capital city.
The villagers of Lihua Village stood up, holding wine glasses in their hands.
"Everything is in the wine!"
Everyone toasted each other from a distance and drank a glass of wine.
Tonight is destined to be lively.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, it's time to give out lucky money.
One by one, maids carried trays with red envelopes on them and came to the villagers of Pear Blossom Village.
Grandma Liu said with a smile, "These are red envelopes from our General's Mansion. Hurry up and take them."
The sons of the villagers in Lihua Village now follow Yuan Laoda, and Yuan Laoda is responsible for distributing their daily allowances and gifts during festivals.
The villagers of Lihua Village were overjoyed to see the thick red envelope. They looked at each other and felt that their decision to come to the capital with them was the right one.
Today, Yuan Laoda is the Grand General of Anping Kingdom, and the entire Yuan family is either rich or noble.
Grandma Liu smiled as she watched them take the red envelopes.
"Let's go to the garden and watch the children set off fireworks."
After finishing their meal, Yao Yao, Guo Ping, Guo An, and the other children from Lihua Village ran to the garden to set off fireworks.
Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, turning the dark sky as bright as day.
The fireworks display was filled with the laughter of children.
Looking up at the fireworks.
