After having tea with Xiaojiu, Li Yuezhu went home without long delay.

There are only a few people in the house, and there are only these people around. The yard is not big, so a few servants can take care of it well.

Watching my mother's steamed buns steaming basket after basket, each bun was steaming well, and some of the buns had cracks on them, which looked particularly delicious.

"Mom, these steamed buns are really beautiful. Can you just leave these noodles to me?"

Li Yuezhu begged her mother. Mrs. Zhou loved her children. Although her son and daughter were said to be not far from her, they were out of sight every day, so naturally she doted on them.

"It's the Chinese New Year, you kids, stop playing around. If you want to steam the steamed buns, steam them honestly, and don't waste any more food."

"What my mother taught me was that it was my son who acted arbitrarily."

Li Yuelan spoke first. Li Yuezhu saw that her brother had already apologized, so she had no need to apologize. Instead, she jumped back to the kitchen and started making steamed buns.

Many guests came to the house one after another. Most of these guests were my brother's friends or students from the college. They came to the yard and stood there, saying a few words and then left.

Li Yuezhu worked until the evening to make those flower steamed buns.

"Come, come, look at the fruits of my labor."

Li Yuezhu started to show off her steamed buns very arrogantly.

Because it was the first time, Li Yuezhu steamed it differently.

"Sister, what on earth did you do?"

Li Yuelan held up a swollen steamed bun in his hand and said, but this steamed bun is not really a steamed bun, but it is indeed made of flour, but the shape is a bit weird.

"Oh, that's the piglet I steamed. Before steaming, I worked hard to make them round and chubby before steaming them in the pot. I didn't expect that after steaming, they turned into wild boars in the forest.

"

"Hahahahahaha!"

At this time, except for Li Yuezhu who stood there stupidly, everyone else burst into laughter.

Even Mrs. Zhou laughed so much that she burst into tears.

"I asked you, girl, why do you have so many clever ideas? It's not like no one has made steamed buns in these shapes, it's just that they can't control the heat, and making these things requires someone who is ingenious, so the family always makes them.

I haven’t prepared any. If my brothers and sisters like it, we can go out and buy some. It won’t be a problem.”

"Mom, you have ready-made ones at home, why do you need to go out and buy them?"

Li Yuelan said bluntly, holding up the now-shapeless little pig and looking around.

"There is obviously something in the family that I like to make, so why spend money to go out and find someone to buy it?"

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, all the young and old in the family put on new clothes, and the family was full of joy.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, it was already the end of the new year. The 29th should be regarded as the New Year, but Li Yuezhu received a gift.

"Xuan, Concubine Chen has a reward!"

Li Yuezhu was learning to write a couplet at home when he heard a sharp sound coming from outside.

"What on earth is going on, brother?"

Li Yuelan hurriedly came in, pulled her sister and walked out while explaining: "Concubine Chen sent someone to deliver something. I think it's probably for you. Why don't you go to the front yard to collect the reward? What are you doing behind here?"

"

Li Yuezhu was dragged forward by his brother until he saw a man in green clothes holding a list in his hand, and placed his hands in Li Yuezhu's hand.

"This is what our mother-in-law told me to give to the little girl personally."

The servant seemed to be very obedient to Concubine Chen. After presenting the list with both hands, he didn't even get any benefits and left without looking back.

After Li Yuezhu accepted the things, he felt uneasy again. This was nothing but no salary. Although it was because of Concubine Chen's love for her, Li Yuezhu didn't dare to blame her. This was the most unbearable thing in the capital.

Li Yuelan saw her sister in a dilemma and had no choice but to persuade her to accept it.

"It's okay for you to accept these things. After all, they are sent by the imperial concubine. If you don't accept them, you will still refute the imperial concubine's face."

"Besides, these are all the wishes of Concubine Chen. Didn't you give him a lot of things before?"

Li Yuezhu could only nod obediently.

"Yes, I have given several carts of things to the imperial concubine, and I give them frequently, but my things are not worth much. Look at this large box of business jewelry, I have never seen so many things.

"

Li Yuelan listened silently while playing with the small piece of wood in her hand. She also held a carving knife in her other hand. She didn't know what she was carving. After listening to her sister's words, she sat in the yard and carved something silently.

Li Yuezhu moved the box into his house and picked out a few items that his mother might like and gave them to his mother. However, Li Yuezhu found that his uncertain brother seemed to have become silent again.

"What are you doing this for? Don't make your mother unhappy during this Chinese New Year! Get up quickly and stop worrying."

Li Yuelan sighed and stood up and said to her sister.

"Yue Zhu, do you think your brother is useless?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? We are brothers and sisters of our adoptive mothers. Let's not talk about how smart my brother is. He got the top prize in one try. Even if he is born stupid, my sister will definitely not dislike him.

It’s useful in China!”

Li Yuezhu really doesn't know what is wrong with this brother, he must be too neurotic.

Li Yuelan seemed to be in a much better mood after listening to her sister's words, but she just changed the place and continued carving.

Li Yuezhu had no choice but to prepare everything at home, including fruits, snacks, candies and vegetables.

In the afternoon, Li Yuelan will go back to the village to burn paper for the elderly instead of her father and mother.

Li Yuezhu was hesitating a little, holding paper money in his hand, signed a big deal, and stood in front of his brother.

Li Yuelan looked at her sister who was hesitant to speak, and felt that she had guessed something.

"Does my sister also want to go out to play? When my brother comes back, I will definitely take my sister out to ride a horse."

After Li Yuelan said this, she rubbed her sister's head lovingly.

Li Yuezhu was always treated like a child by her brother, and she was a little embarrassed. It took her a long time to finally say it.

"Brother, you are going to burn paper for your ancestors today. Then father..."

Li Yuezhu finally said it. Although he didn't finish the sentence, he was as smart as Li Yuelan and he figured it out after thinking about it.

"There has been no news from my father for a year. Ever since he entered the barracks to fight, this has never happened before."

Li Yuelan frowned deeply. It was because of his father's absence that his family was bullied like this. As the eldest son, Li Yuelan felt a little guilty for not protecting his family well.

"Besides, even if my father has passed away, how can we burn paper for him so hastily because he has never seen anyone dead or dead?"

Li Yuelan rubbed her sister's head, but what she was thinking in her heart was that girls are indeed more delicate than boys, and her sister should also lack father's love. She has never met her father more than once since she was a child. It seems that

You should be nicer to your sister!
