Chapter 492 Daily Life After Returning to the Village 13 [End of Main Text]

Everything proceeded smoothly. The malt brought back from home in the county town was growing just right and could be used to make sugar. So the sugar mill, which had been shut down for a long time, started operating again. The former workers were overjoyed when they received the news that they would be working the next day.

See? I told you their uncle's family is something else. They not only brought back sugarcane seeds on their trip, but also a business opportunity.

With Zhou Xiaomin's fate as a precedent, the workers couldn't muster any greed when faced with the new recipes for crispy candy and peanut brittle from their employer, and they worked with great care and diligence.

That day, Xiao Anyu invited all his close friends to come to his house the next night to watch fireworks and have a barbecue. As a result, all his friends rushed to his house.

"Uncle, Uncle, Xiao Anyu said he's going to set off fireworks tomorrow night and treat us to barbecue, is that true?" Tie Dan asked Xia Mo with sparkling eyes, his younger brothers and sisters behind him making the same request.

Xia Mo looked at them, then at Xiao Anyu standing tall and proud behind him, and nodded with a smile: "It's true. You can come early tomorrow to help your uncle with the barbecue stuff. You can also help your uncle make takoyaki. Your uncle will make you bubble tea."

"Yay! It's true! Hahaha! That's great! Tomorrow night we'll not only see beautiful fireworks, but also have delicious food. I knew Xiao Anyu wouldn't lie to me!"

Tie Dan was overjoyed, and the other children cheered and clapped, wishing they could close their eyes and open them to tomorrow.

Overjoyed, they either chattered around Xiao Anyu or kept asking Xia Mo what pearl milk tea was. They then enthusiastically promoted themselves, saying how skillful they were, easily stringing grass beads or rolling mud balls, and that they would definitely come to help tomorrow. Xia Mo smiled and agreed.

It's nice to have a lively atmosphere.

The day finally arrived amidst the anticipation of a group of children. They didn't need their elders to wake them up; they got up on their own, dressed, washed up, hastily ate breakfast, and then excitedly ran out the door with the small gifts they had prepared for Xiao Anyu.

Given the Ling family's current reputation in the village and their temperament, the elders of these children are happy to see their children getting close to them and will not stop them.

To give Xiao Anyu a wonderful childhood memory, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan decorated the courtyard simply and hung many pretty lanterns around it, which they would light up when it got dark. As for food, toys, and other necessities, there was plenty to go around.

As the children arrived at the Ling family home one by one, the small courtyard, located far from the village, became bustling with activity.

They sat around a large wooden basin or round table, some skewering meat slices, some skewering chives, and some making small meatballs, even having a competition. Laughter filled the air, and the bamboo forest behind the mountain seemed to be infected by the laughter, occasionally rustling in agreement.

"Ze-ge'er, I've brought you the milk and seafood you wanted!"

It was Yingying. He walked in carrying a covered wooden bucket and called out to Xia Mo in the courtyard. Behind him were Zhang Siyuan, who looked aggrieved after not seeing him for a long time, and two servants from the Zhang family who were helping to carry things.

The moment she saw the adults in their yard, her eyes lit up. Liu Yu, who was sitting with the children, nudged Liu Yingying next to her with her elbow and gave her a look, as if to say, "Look, look!"

Liu Yingying smiled and shook her head, then whispered to Liu Yu, who was watching the show with great interest, "Be careful not to prick your hand while you're stringing your things." She then looked away, but her eyes inadvertently swept over Gong Ming, who was talking to Ling Chuan. She didn't know what he was saying, but he was smiling foolishly.

On the other side, Xia Mo, who had taken the wooden bucket, looked at Ying Ying and Zhang Siyuan with a teasing gaze, and then asked the latter with feigned incomprehension, "What's wrong with Young Master Zhang?"

Zhang Siyuan glanced at Yingying with a wronged expression and said dejectedly, "It's nothing."

Yingying rolled her eyes, then glared at Xia Mo, who had clearly come to watch the commotion, and said irritably, "Why are you asking him? A grown man crying all day long, it makes me want to hit him."

"But I didn't see you punch him twice," Xia Mo thought to himself.

Zhang Siyuan's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He looked at Yingying pitifully with downcast eyes and pouting lips, and softly called out, "Yingying, my wife..."

Yingying gritted her teeth, glanced at him, and said slowly and deliberately, "What did you call me?"

Zhang Siyuan shuddered and immediately changed his address: "Yingying! Yingying! I'll call you Yingying! I'll call you Yingying from now on!"

Waaah, Siyuan's wife won't let him call her "wife," Siyuan is heartbroken.

Seeing this, Xia Mo, who was not satisfied with watching the show, felt very disappointed. He thought to himself that Zhang Siyuan was really not up to par, so he said to Yingying, "Let's go, get the mahjong set up, and play mahjong together tonight."

"Siyuan, you should help too!" Zhang Siyuan tried his best to show his abilities.

Yingying muttered disdainfully, "They're just getting in the way; it's good enough if they don't make things worse."

Xia Mo smiled and glanced at him sideways, then smiled kindly at Zhang Siyuan and said, "Alright, thank you for your trouble, Young Master Zhang."

Seeing his bright smile, Zhang Siyuan grinned back and chuckled foolishly.

Yingying couldn't bear to watch and quickly left. As soon as his wife left, Zhang Siyuan couldn't laugh anymore. He immediately stuck to her like a big tail, following her wherever she went.

Xia Mo raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this silly boy might actually be able to make his wishes come true.

Wow! It's a giant crab!

"Brother Anyu, Brother Anyu! This ugly thing has eight legs! Will it fight when it walks?"

"Is it a fish? Fish don't seem to have legs."

"It's not a fish, this is a real fish, but why is it so long and thin? It doesn't look like the one Tiger raises at home at all."

The children, who were originally diligently skewering barbecue and making small dumplings, have been attracted by the seafood brought by Yingying and are now squatting or standing around several wooden buckets to look at it.

Kids are playful and curious, so Xia Mo didn't really ask them to come and help out. He went over and reminded them to be careful of the crab's big claws before going to the kitchen to boil milk and start making milk tea.

"I'll start the fire."

Ling Chuan came in later.

Xia Mo smiled at him and said okay.

Time slips away quietly. The time from morning to night seems long, but it doesn't last long at all. Before you know it, night has fallen.

The Ling family courtyard was brightly lit.

"Sister-in-law Qi, Brother Dayong is asking if you want it spicy!"

"I already told you she's not your wife, shut up! Want a mistress?"

"don't want……"

"Hahaha, Brother Tiedan, you burned it! Yi-ge, don't eat his, eat mine, mine isn't burnt!"

"Little brother Xiao Anyu, your chicken wings are ready!"

"Ah! Little Bamboo, you ate the wrong one! That one was mine!"

"..."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—Bang!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—Bang!

Fireworks burst in the sky, and many families in Liujia Village, adults and children alike, came out to watch. This year, on this day, the Ling family courtyard was even more lively than during the Spring Festival.

Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air, and though the night was cold, hearts were warmed by the warmth of life. The future holds promise.
