Gu Chen rarely celebrates the New Year in Kuizhou, so he stayed with Liu Mingrou and Yun Chutian until dawn before going back to lie down. The custom of the first day of the first lunar month is to not clean, not work, and spend a day leisurely.

When Gu Chen woke up, he found that it was already noon. Yun Yue was basking in the sun in the yard. It was so comfortable. When he saw Gu Chen going out, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Brother Chen is a pig! He can sleep well!"

Gu Chen stepped forward and pinched Yun Yue's little cheek, turned to wash, Yun Yue followed him to the stove and asked Gu Chen: "What are Brother Chen going to eat? You're hungry since last night!"

When Gu Chen saw that there were all kinds of ingredients in the kitchen, he casually said, "Anything you can do it."

Yun Yue simply made dumplings for Gu Chen. After Gu Chen finished washing up, she came over and took a look and was instantly happy, "Are you making dumplings?"

It is a habit for eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year. In Kuizhou, people eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year are chicken, duck, fish, meat, and rice. Few people make dumplings.

Yun Yue nodded and said in a good mood: "Dumplings are convenient. Put some on them and they will quickly freeze into stones. You can keep them for a few days. If you want to eat them, just roll them in boiling water."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen went to cook a pot of hot water. Yun Yue also prepared the dumpling fillings here. Gu Chen helped her roll the dough. The two of them worked together and soon made dozens of dumplings.

It happened that Liu Mingrou and Yun Chutian came back from outside and saw them working in the stove. Liu Mingrou said enviously: "Chenzi is really considerate. Look at how good it is to roll the dough! Are you making dumplings?"

Yun Yue nodded and replied with a smile: "Mom, you can take a break and you will be able to eat soon."

Liu Mingrou was a little nostalgic and sighed: "In the past, my family was poor, so I could eat a dumpling during the Chinese New Year. I could only eat three or two dumplings in a bowl, but I was satisfied if I could eat three or two dumplings at that time!"

This was the first time Yun Yue heard Liu Mingrou talk about the past. She looked up curiously. Before she could speak, Yun Chutian changed the topic and said, "Let's go and let the children work on their own. We went into the house, and it was so cold outside that people were trembling!"

Yun Yue looked at Gu Chen with a suspicious look on her face. Gu Chen shook her head and signaled her not to speak out.

The two of them made up a total of more than fifty dumplings and put a plate on them. The rest was placed outside the house and frozen naturally by Yun Yue.

This meal of dumpling made Liu Mingrou smile. Yun Chutian was happy to see her and was also happy.

Yun Yue asked Gu Chen privately: "Brother Chen, do you know about my grandfather's family? Why didn't my father seem to be very happy to mention the affairs of my grandfather's family just now?"

Liu Mingrou's surname is Liu, and Gu Chen kept calling her aunt again. Yun Yue felt that Gu Chen must know something.

Sure enough, Gu Chen's face changed slightly, and he was entangled for a while before saying, "I can tell you, but you can't go and ask your aunt and uncle."

Yun Yue nodded, Gu Chen said slowly: "I went back to Chaozhou to know that your mother is indeed from the Liu family, but she is just a branch. It may be closer to counting several generations. It is almost okay to be my father's generation. My father is a legitimate family from the Liu family, but my aunt's family is a poor tribe who lives with the Liu family. He is the kind of person who has no status and is looked down upon in the clan.

In addition, your grandfather was cowardly and could not stand up even more. Later, as your mother grew up, the clan members had no idea what she should have when she saw that she was beautiful and thought that she should not have. They said that the head of the Liu family sent your mother out to be a concubine. Your grandfather disagreed with this, but he had no ability to resist, and was finally pushed to death in a dispute with his clan members.

Your mother was heartbroken and pulled out her hairpin and stabbed several tribe members. The man who pushed down your grandfather died of excessive blood loss. The tribe members were angry and wanted to execute your mother. Your mother didn't want to live anymore and ran to jump into the river to commit suicide. As a result, she was rescued by your grandfather and your father. Later, your mother married your father and lived a peaceful life in Taoyuan Village.

Only your grandfather and your father know about this, and some of the Liu family's immortals know about it. I also went back to inquire for a long time to find out. Your grandfather's affairs are a pain that you can never forget for your mother, so your father doesn't like your mother to mention the past, and is afraid that she will be sad. You can't tell it. In the future, you can't bring this matter to your mother."

Yun Yue didn't expect that Liu Mingrou's temperament was so fierce. She nodded honestly, holding a sense of resentment in her heart, and gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Chen, how could your family clean up such disgusting things? Fortunately, my mother killed that person, otherwise she would feel even more uncomfortable!"

Gu Chen nodded and sighed: "Auntie is also a hero among women. A woman with no power to tie a chicken. In that case, she can still get angry and hurt people. This is something that no one expected. What is even more unexpected is that she really took revenge. The person who was killed by her aunt was the biological son of the younger brother of the former head of the Liu family, and the leader who came to kidnap her aunt. It is precisely because of this that my aunt would jump into the river and commit suicide. Fortunately, there is no way out. When my aunt met her uncle, she was so happy."

Yun Yue was still immersed in Liu Mingrou's miserable past. Thinking of Gu Chen destroying the former head of the Liu family, he felt relieved and asked: "Brother Chen, are there any members of the Liu family who killed my grandfather back then?"

Gu Chen shook his head with a funny look, "I have dealt with all the tribesmen close to the former head of the family. Don't worry, there is absolutely no fish that misses the net."

Yun Yue was relieved and felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at the dumplings, and pulled Gu Chen out for some breathing.

On the Lantern Festival, the whole Chixia Town was so lively. Liu Mingrou came back from Renxin Hall and said to Yun Yue with a smile: "There is an event in the town to guess lantern riddles and enjoy lanterns this year. I heard that if you guess lantern riddles and enjoy lanterns, there are rewards for guessing riddles!"

Yun Yue looked at Liu Mingrou in surprise, "Why did you suddenly have to hold such an activity?"

Liu Mingrou shook her head, her eyes full of smiles, "I don't know, there weren't in previous years. It seems that the county magistrate asked her to handle it. Everyone from the surrounding villages and towns have come here. Today the town is so lively. I heard that those inns are full, so you can also go around with Chenzi at night. You little girls and guys should like it."

Yun Yue thought that she hadn't seen the lanterns with Gu Chen yet, so she immediately ran to find Gu Chen.

That night, the two of them walked on the bustling streets of Chixia Town and felt unreal. Yun Yue murmured: "Brother Chen, is this still Chixia Town?"

Gu Chen nodded, his heart was as shocked as Yun Yue. He clearly saw that there was no change during the day, but at night he felt like he was walking on the streets of Yangcheng.
