When Lu Shaoqian saw the harmonious atmosphere on the street, he looked at his wife affectionately. All this was due to her.

It's the New Year, and the men are reluctant to take a break, while the common people are busy for another year.

Over the past few decades, there has been no change here, and it is still as poor as ever.

But this year is very different. There are smiles on their numb faces, because they not only have meat to eat but also snacks.

A large family would borrow a fat pig from the head of the family, and a small family would borrow a fat pig together.

According to the boss's wife, they could also use labor force to pay off the debt, so everyone hurriedly borrowed the fat pig and killed it.

There is hope in life, and everyone is not as busy as in previous years.

Every household took the cloth and brought it back to make new clothes for their families, under the big bagua tree at the entrance of the village.

A group of women and girls were happily sitting under the big tree making new clothes for the New Year.

The children were still eating snacks, which was unprecedented in previous years, and everyone was still discussing which one looked better.

"Aunt Li, help me take a look. Does the sample I made for the man look good?"

"It's very good. The color of this fabric is really nice." Aunt Li said with a smile. She is the village chief's mother.

"Aunt Li, how about showing me this? I made the clothes for my eldest son."

"Sister-in-law Zhang, after helping your eldest son make such beautiful clothes, does he want to marry his daughter-in-law?"

"I think so, I don't know which girl would be willing to marry into our family!"

"In my opinion, if we have another year, many girls will want to marry from our village."

While the women were chatting happily, a child shouted loudly, "Hey, there are a lot of carriages coming at the entrance of the village."

Aunt Li urged while collecting the soles: "Let's go and have a look. Maybe the master and his wife are coming back from shopping for New Year's goods in the big city. Let's go and greet them."

"Ouch!" A woman said coquettishly: "Aunt Li, you are obviously trying to curry favor with the boss and his wife."

Aunt Li said unhappily: "I am also thinking about all of us. We can eat pork during the Chinese New Year this year. We must thank the boss and his wife for this?"

"That's right, I think you are too narrow-minded. The master and his wife are so kind to us, so we should go and greet them."

Sister-in-law Zhang echoed Aunt Li and said that she was very grateful in her heart.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, look at what you said so well, and you're not just thinking about the pork." The woman said with a glance at them.

Aunt Li said with a smile: "You don't understand this. It's because we all eat pork during the Chinese New Year, so I went to greet the head's wife and the head."

"Humph, the master doesn't want you to greet me." The woman from before said unconvincedly. "You want to take the opportunity to curry favor with the master."

Sister-in-law Zhang was anxious: "I just want to curry favor with the boss and his wife, come and bite me."

"Okay, okay, everyone, please stop saying a few words." Aunt Li grabbed Sister-in-law Zhang.

He smiled at the other women and said, "It's not like you don't know Zhang's wife's temper. She's just too straightforward."

"Bah, how can she be sincere? She is just a flattering villain." The woman who spoke before muttered dissatisfiedly.

Sister-in-law Zhang was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, "Who are you talking about? Don't your family eat pork?"

Upon seeing this, Aunt Li said quickly: "My aunt, please just wait and see for a while. We are all waiting for you to greet the master and his wife."

The young woman reluctantly shut up, and after everyone tidied up, they walked towards the entrance of the village.

At this time, the sun had already set, and the setting sun shone over the entire village.

Aunt Li led everyone to the entrance of the village, and saw more than a dozen carriages coming at the entrance of the village.

A tall man was sitting on a tall horse driving a carriage, with a gentle smile on his face, looking ahead.

His eyes fell on the group of women at the entrance of the village, a look of thought appeared on his brows, and he slowed down the carriage.

Aunt Li ran over with a smile on her face and said respectfully: "Master, Mrs. Master, we are here to greet you."

Lin Yong nodded slightly, turned around and asked the master in the carriage: "Master, madam, a large group of women have arrived at the entrance of the village."

A soft and clear voice came from the carriage: "Tell them, anyone who is building a city wall.

Tomorrow we will go to the village chief's house to collect cookies and candies to celebrate the New Year. We are also a little tired today and need to go back and rest."

"As ordered." Lin Yong responded, turned around and loudly told everyone with his inner strength.

"Everyone, listen up, our master is a little tired today, so everyone should go back and rest.

Tomorrow we will send people to deliver various supplies to the village chief's house, and we hope everyone will be satisfied."

"There are also cookies and candies, thank you, thank you."

"That's great. Thank you, Master, and thank you, Mrs. Master."

A group of women were immediately happy, bowing and expressing gratitude.

"Master, madam, you should go back and rest quickly. All of you should go away and let the master and his wife's carriage pass by."

Aunt Li said with a smile.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, ma'am."

Lin Yong nodded, then drove the carriage toward Huangni Mountain.

The women and children dispersed one after another, leaving a wide driveway for the carriage to pass.

Aunt Li, along with the village wives, daughters-in-law and juniors, stood on the roadside and watched the carriage go away.

"The master and his wife are so handsome, they are like gods descending to earth."

"That's right, I really envy us."

A group of women were talking among themselves.

"Aunt Li, let's continue making clothes." someone urged.

Aunt Li said with a smile: "Okay, everyone can do their own work."

Everyone went under the big tree to continue making clothes and collecting shoe soles.

The women talked about the cookies and candies they would need tomorrow, and their gratitude was beyond words.

Everyone said that the master was good-looking and his wife was as beautiful as a fairy.

The girl's heart was filled with jealousy. Why didn't she get such treatment?

She was also considered the beauty of the village, but it was a pity that the headmaster and the teenagers never looked at her.

Her father and brothers were all helping the leader with the work, so why didn't the leader notice her?

Thinking of this, she felt a surge of resentment in her heart.

She gritted her teeth and looked ahead, her eyes flashing with evil light. She could never lose to that woman.

"Hey~" Suddenly, she shouted to Aunt Li.

"Huh?" Aunt Li looked at her doubtfully, wondering why she called her. Is she trying to stir up trouble again?

She didn't want to get into trouble, so Aunt Li pretended not to know who she was calling, lowered her head and happily picked up the soles of her shoes.

"Aunt Li, please do something for me~" the girl said with a pitiful look.

"What's up?"

"I want to go to Huangni Mountain to find a man to marry." The girl said with a blushing face.
