It wasn't until the New Year's Eve that Ye Yu stopped, and started to prepare for the New Year's celebrations with other people in Hope City.

Everyone in the city is living a good life this year. With the basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation met, people have a higher pursuit of quality of life. Not to mention spending money every day, but they are also loose and willing to buy something. improve life.

Therefore, this celebration is divided into two processes by Ye Yu. The first is the evening market. There is no need to pay money in the market. You only need to record it with the captain of the guard who is in charge of management, and then you can start selling things. Regardless of the type, you can sell food if you want to sell it, and you can also sell other things if you want to.

The rally lasts from the night of New Year's Eve to the third day of junior high school, which is equivalent to a temple fair.

In addition to the market, the second thing to prepare is the firework show that night. The fireworks are made of sulfur ore brought back from the volcano by Ye Yu and the others. There are two types of firework/powder wrapped in paper. The firecrackers and the colored fireworks are only limited by the materials, the latter only have two kinds of purple and blue, which will fly into the sky and explode after being lit. Although the colors are less, it is better than being strange.

After preparing everything one by one, it was getting late, and Ye Yu's family was ready to go to the Ye family's old house for a reunion dinner.

Uncle Chu and Chu Xufeng also had the reunion dinner this year at Ye's house, and now there are more and more people in the family, making it very lively.

Now that the next generation has two children, Ye Ru and Ye Hua, seeing the family gradually prospering, Old Man Ye and Mrs. Ye are extremely happy, so happy that they even drank a few more during the reunion dinner. Glass of wine.

At the end of the meal, Old Man Ye blushed, and then he took out a few packs of red wrapping paper from his pocket and distributed them to the two children one by one.

"Good boy, take it to buy candy."

The New Year's money given to Ye Hua was taken over by his parents, and when the child went to sleep, they would put the red envelopes under the pillow, which is considered a custom.

As for Ye Ru's, she kept it herself. Perhaps it was because she felt sorry for her that she was not loved by her mother at such a young age, so her family doted on her very much, and basically they would not refuse anything.

Ye Yu was afraid that she would be spoiled before, but Ye Hai and the others seemed to be reasonable during this time, and because of Ye Ru's personality, she did not become what Ye Yu was worried about.

The two children kowtowed to the elders, and the reunion dinner was finished. Ye Yu originally wanted to go to the night market with the elders, but they didn't expect them to be willing to go.

The old couple and Uncle Chu had to go to bed early because they were too old to stay up late, while the others went out in pairs. When it came to this, Ye Yu understood that they should not be light bulbs.

So Ye Yu and Chu Xufeng left together.

Now the central street is bustling with activity. The guards have placed many torches along the roadside, basically one every one and a half meters. Due to the distance between them, and because there is a booth in front of each torch, Ye Yu and the others can clearly see the things on the booth when they pass by.

There are many kinds of them. Ye Yu spent money to buy bunches of candied haws to eat. Candied haws is really not a technical thing. There are more than one store selling them on the street, and there are three in the place he passed.

If there is any difference, it is that the sweetness and sourness are different. If you like sour food, you can go to Li's house, and if you like sweet food, you can go to Ye's house. Each family can get a lot of benefits.

Ye Yu likes sweets, so he chose the one with the most sweet taste.

Every household here has a lot of hawthorns, which are the least valuable things, and sometimes they worry about how to eat them. Ye Yu’s own method is to make them into hawthorn jelly and hawthorn tea, and eat them as afternoon tea or supper. Others are not so delicate. Yes, most of them are made into hawthorn sauce.

The candied haws were so sore that his teeth hurt at the end, so Ye Yu only ate three, and Chu Xufeng took care of the rest.

As soon as Chu Xufeng finished eating, they heard the voice of someone saying hello, and after a blink of an eye, they found that it was Su Yu and Chen Lan.

"Come and have a taste." They greeted happily.

They set up a small stall in front of the shop to sell Roujiamo, which Ye Yu taught them, and now there is a long queue in front of the stall, which seems to be quite prosperous.

Ye Yu waved his hand and signaled, "You two are busy first, and we will go shopping later."

There is no need to delay their business as soon as they are full. You must know that according to tonight's passenger flow, they can make a lot of money.

The night market is very lively, with people coming and going, including parents with children, newly married couples, and even unmarried men and women who just met. Seeing this, Yu said with emotion that it is estimated that the number of people getting married in the spring of next year will not be small.

They walked slowly in the cold wind, and then they clasped hands naturally. Chu Xufeng stuffed Ye Yu's hands into his cuffs. Feeling a cold shock, he asked him, "Is it cold? Do you want to go back?" "

Ye Yu shook her head, scratching her chin on the plush scarf twice, "I won't go back, I haven't seen the fireworks yet."

"Then you stay closer to me." Chu Xufeng shook off the cloak he brought from home and put it on him.

Ye Yu responded, "Okay."

However, the fireworks he was thinking about only lasted for a quarter of an hour. There were four fireworks in total, and after they spread out in the sky, they were like dots of starlight, so dazzling that Ye Yu couldn't help but think of that poem.

"Dongfeng night blooms thousands of trees and blows down even more, stars like rain."

The starlight came into view, and Ye Yu could hear the exclamation of the crowd, and some people even took a few steps back because of the scene in front of them, and stepped on other people's feet. Fortunately, there was no stampede accident.

"It's so beautiful." Someone exclaimed.

Ye Yu followed the voice, and saw that Mr. Lu Wenlu was looking at the sky with emotion, "I didn't expect this place to be like a paradise."

"I hope that the coming year will be a stable and good season." Ye Yu said.

"It will." Chu Xufeng said firmly.

But when the two of them were clasping their hands and continuing to enjoy the fireworks, Ye Yu suddenly felt a coolness on his cheeks. He touched it subconsciously, and the tentacles were icy cold. With the silver light falling, he realized the original It was snowing, if he remembered correctly, this was the first snow this year.

The belated first snow fell all over the ground, and the ground seemed to change its color overnight.

The first thing to do after the new year is to worship the ancestors.

There are not only the ancestors of the Ye family in the ancestral hall, but also the ancestors of other clans who moved in later.

After placing the tribute on the table, you can start worshiping the ancestors according to the process. In fact, it is not cumbersome, so it will be over soon.

I don't know if it was Ye Yu's illusion, but he always felt that after this ancestor worship, the citizens of Jiwang City became more united. Originally, there were clear distinctions between the surnames, but since they worshiped their ancestors together, there was a certain bond between them. Inexplicable connection.

For example, if there was a conflict between the two parties in the past, they would basically report it to officials, but now they tend to resolve it privately.

Ye Yu wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but it was normal to think about it.

After that, the Ye family has been busy for a long time. First, New Year's greetings. In addition to paying New Year's greetings to relatives and friends at home, they also have to entertain people who come to give them New Year's greetings at home. It's okay to be familiar with them. The meal, other people who came to pay New Year's greetings because of etiquette or requests are the most troublesome. They should neither be indifferent nor too welcoming. They must grasp the degree, which also caused their family to barely calm down after half a month. .

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. There are many customs, including watching lanterns, eating Lantern Festival, and dancing dragons and lions.

After discussion, Father Ye and the others decided to hold a guessing game on the day of the Lantern Festival. The winner will be rewarded. Even if they just participate but fail to win, they will also get a food coupon. They can use the food coupon to exchange for a meal at all the food shops in the market. The rewards can be considered generous, so there are quite a few people who signed up for the riddle guessing conference.

However, the winner in the end was beyond everyone's expectations. It turned out to be Mr. Lu's only daughter, Lu Si. The biggest reason for winning is that although they named this activity as guessing riddles, most of them are actually similar to modern dictation. Most of them are famous poems, and the test is memory and reading. As the only daughter of the county guard, Lu Si has urinated Well-read, so she naturally has a lot of advantages over others.

And Ye Yu also knew one thing, that is, in the next year's spring assessment, only one woman signed up, and that was Lu Si.

For this reason, she even stayed at home reading books all day long, waking up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs every day. Needless to say, she worked hard.

It is not yet known whether she will pass the assessment in the future, but just looking at her hard work, Ye Yu knows that no matter what, at least her goals are extremely clear, and generally such people will basically get what they want.

The final result was exactly as he expected, Lu Si became the first official female official in Jiwang City, and her position was deputy to Shen Fu, the deputy city lord, who was responsible for helping him with some unimportant matters.

As the first female official, she naturally caused a lot of controversy, but Lu Si obtained the position through her own efforts and passed the assessment, so no one can comment on it. According to Father Ye, if someone is not convinced, they can go to the examination by themselves. .

The fact that Lu Si passed the assessment will definitely be recorded in the city history, and the editors of the city history are Ye Yu and Wang Shu.

So when Ye Yu finished recording this incident and stopped writing, it was already summer with the sound of cicadas chirping. He looked up out of the window and saw that an osmanthus planted in the yard last year had sprouted stamens, and it was warm in spring. The flowers are blooming in the wind, and the strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is sent by the wind.
