Chapter 129 Celebrating New Year

"Where's Wu Ya? I've called her so many times to cook, why is she so lazy? The lady's body is the girl's life!"

When Xiao Chen heard her daughter being scolded like this, she was unhappy.

"Mother! Wu Ya has already arranged to marry. Her future husband is a scholar with a wealthy family. We are marrying up. If we don't take good care of Wu Ya, how can she have a good life in her husband's family? When she has established herself in her husband's family, she will definitely remember your kindness. Will you still worry about her not being filial to you in the future?"

Luo rolled her eyes when she heard this, and secretly spat when she saw the old lady was coaxed into smiling. After all, she was the old lady's niece, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart after a few words of coaxing.

"Mother! How can my granddaughter still remember her grandmother after she got married? No matter how comfortable her life is, we can't even get any of it. Look at our Liu Ya, who is busy all morning preparing breakfast for the whole family and also has to boil water for everyone to wash. My good granddaughter has become a servant now!"

It was at this time that Luo praised Liu Ya in order to scold her sister-in-law.

"Why don't you go and help, sister-in-law? It's New Year's Day, let the children have a rest. This month it's your turn to work." Mrs. Chen's words made Mrs. Luo speechless. Facing Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Chen knew how to handle the situation.

In the big kitchen, steam was rising. Jiang Youzhen looked into the kitchen through the white mist.

Liu Ya was busy on the stove, cooking cornmeal porridge in a pot. Only during the Chinese New Year would we have such thick porridge to eat, which was much better than the water used to wash the pot in the past.

Liu Ya smiled, thinking that today was the first day of the new year, and wondered if her grandma would give her an extra half bowl of rice.

There was another pot that she scrubbed several times before pouring clean water in. My sister-in-law didn't like the taste of pig food and would vomit. Therefore, she had to scrub it several times, otherwise my sister-in-law would get angry.

"It's New Year's Day, and you are asked to work for this whole family?" Jiang Youzhen's tone turned cold. She looked at Liu Ya and found that she was wearing a new coat made by her second sister under her coarse cloth clothes. Only then did her expression lighten up a little.

"Second brother!" Liu Ya smiled sweetly when she saw Jiang Youzhen.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Get out now, it's dirty here, don't get your clothes dirty."

"If I hadn't seen you in the upper room, I would have known that you were busy in the kitchen. You shouldn't have spoiled them. The whole family is resting, but they still have the nerve to order you to do things." Jiang Youzhen touched Liu Ya's head. This girl was really pitiful.

In her previous life, Liu Ya and the original owner met each other, and she had been helping the original owner all the time, and she never had a good day.

Thinking of Liu Ya's ending in the book, Jiang Youzhen thought about it and wondered if there was any way to get Liu Ya back. What good life could a good girl have if she went to such a dirty place? Even if she didn't meet the original owner in the book, her future life would be worse than death.

She took out two big meat buns from her arms. These were left for her by her second sister in the morning. "Eat them! Eat them before you go out!"

"Hmm!" Liu Ya smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents. The meat bun was still hot, she took a small bite, and the delicious taste spread in her mouth.

"It would be great if I could eat meat buns every day in the future. Meat buns are so delicious." In Liu Ya's little head, she just thought that being able to eat meat buns would be a good life, and she didn't dare to think of anything else.

"What's a meat bun? I'll buy you something better in the future. Don't forget to come over when you eat in the future. Go to our kitchen and eat by yourself. We'll leave some for you."

Jiang Youzhen said this and took out a purse from his bosom, took out a few ounces of silver from it and handed it to Liu Ya.

"This is the New Year's money given to you by your second brother, take it!"

"Is this silver? How much is it? I'd better not take it! I don't have any place to use the money." The farthest place Liu Ya has ever been is her grandmother's house, so the silver would be useless even if you gave it to her.

"This is one tael of silver, which is one thousand copper coins. Hide it well. If you encounter any problems in the future and I am not at home, this silver can be used in an emergency. Be sure to hide it well and don't let your mother search it."

Jiang Youzhen stuffed the silver into Liu Ya's hand, and Liu Ya nodded seriously. She had no idea what silver was, but she knew about copper coins.

"One thousand wen? That's a lot. It can buy a lot of things, right? I've seen it at my grandparents' place."

Poor Liu Ya, I guess she has never touched a copper coin.

"Yeah! A lot, enough to buy 500 meat buns." Jiang Youzhen just thought she was cute and touched her head again.

"Five hundred?" Liu Ya opened her mouth wide and was about to return them to Jiang Youzhen, but Jiang Youzhen waved his hand and turned away.

"Hide well! Come over here to eat at noon." Jiang Youzhen left the kitchen and when he returned home, he ran into Aunt Ya and Chunya who came out.

"Aunt Ya! May you live a long and healthy life!" Jiang Youzhen bowed and then nodded to Chunya.

Chunya blushed immediately and turned her head away. She was dressed very freshly today, a pink cotton jacket, with two red hair strings tied on her head, and her face was rosy.

"Hey! Did you come from your grandparents' side?" Aunt Ya is now the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looks, the more satisfied she is.

"Well! You're going home now? Why don't you sit down for a while? My family also bought the date paste cake that you like. Let's go and try it together?" Jiang Youzhen was just being polite.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Ya actually nodded and said, "That's fine! My family has fewer relatives, and your family is more lively. Erlang is thoughtful, and he still remembers that I like to eat jujube paste cake."

Jiang Youzhen: It's over! I'm going to be scolded when I get home!

Sure enough, after returning, when Shen saw Aunt Ya and Chunya coming back again, she immediately glared at Jiang Youzhen again.

It's okay for Aunt Ya to come, but Chunya is here too! As soon as she saw Chunya's blushing face, Shen began to have a headache.

No! I have to find a chance to talk about this, but I still have to think about how to start.

Jiang Youzhen was speechless. She was innocent, okay? Jiang Fugui asked Jiang Youzhen to pack up and go to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the clan. Jiang Youzhen immediately fled out of the house.

Chunya saw Jiang Youzhen's leaving back, lowered her head in disappointment, and began to become absent-minded.

Today, the Jiang family's second branch is very lively. Many children from the village come to pay New Year's greetings, and even peers come to visit. Isn't it said that if you are rich, you will have distant relatives in the mountains, but if you are poor, no one will care about you in the city?

Shen prepared a lot of candies and some red dates, so the children would not go back empty-handed as long as they came.

There was a constant stream of people coming, and it was much more lively than the upper room of the Jiang family.

The old lady saw through the window how lively the second house yard was and snorted again, "What are you showing off?"

A year passed quickly and the days went by quickly. Jiang Youzhen had been studying with Tong Huaian during this period and had already learned most of the "Three Character Classic".

"When will Brother Huai'an take the exam?" Jiang Youzhen put down the pen after writing the big words.

"The county exam will be held on the eighth day of February!" Tong Huaian put down the book in his hand and stepped forward to check Jiang Youzhen's handwriting.

That should be in time. Jiang Youzhen calculated the days and estimated that he would be able to finish learning the three enlightenment books by the end of this month.

In fact, she knows it all, but Tong Huaian's teaching progress is already very fast, and if it is faster, it would be shocking.
