Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Several people were happy enough to applaud after hearing this.

Suddenly, Lian Ze’s eyes darkened.
“When we go in, we should also buy some scented candles and paper.
We need to light incense for our parents during the Winter Solstice.”

As soon as his words fell, the cheerful atmosphere immediately dropped.
Lian Fang Qing’s little mouth was trembling and Lian Che looked depressed.

Lian Fang Zhou sighed softly: “This is natural, we won’t forget.
Don’t be sad anymore.
Our parents are happy and would bless us if they could see us in the Spirt of Heaven.
If we are sad, our parents will be unhappy!”

Lian Ze nodded and his face slowly returned to normal.

Lian Fang Zhou stood up and smiled: “By the way, I should bring Aunt Zhang and Ah Juan to see if they want to buy something as well.
It’s more lively with a crowd!”

Third Aunt hurriedly said: “Fang Zhou, if you invite Aunt Zhang, I want to go too! I have never gone to the city and want to open my eyes!”

Saying this, Third Aunt stared at Lian Fang Zhou nervously, worried that she would not agree.

Lian Fang Qing jumped in and said: “Yes, yes, Sister! Let Third Aunt go too, then there are many people!”

Lian Fang Zhou was secretly amused.
Third Aunt was more afraid of her than before!

However, thinking about it, what was she doing these days that was not frightening to death with resoluteness? Under her carrot and stick approach, it would be weird if Third Aunt was not afraid!

“Of course you can go!” Lian Fang Zhou said, laughing.
“When we go, Third Aunt, you will have to help take care of Qing’er and Che’er!”

“Okay, that’s natural, that’s natural!” Third Aunt was overjoyed and nodded cheerfully.

Lian Che muttered with dissatisfaction, protesting: “I am not a kid! Where does someone need to take care of me?”

“Oh, there are a lot of people crowding in the city, it’s not as good as our country and its easy to be kidnapped!” Third Aunt said.

Lian Fang Zhou smiled and went out.

At this point, the charcoal kilns were no longer burning and the Li family was all at home.

When Lian Fang Zhou arrived, Aunt Zhang, Madam Zhao, and Li Juan were sitting around a brazier with the soles of their shoes towards the flames.
The charcoal was naturally broken charcoal from their own kiln.

“Fang Zhou is here! Come, sit here, its warmer!” Aunt Zhang immediately waved her to her side when she saw her, looking very happy.

Madam Zhao and Li Juan always greeted her with a smile, asking her how she was free today.

Lian Fang Zhou greeted them with a smile and sat down next to Aunt Zhang, chatting lightly: “I think it will be the winter solstice in two days and I plan on going to the city tomorrow to buy some New Year goods.
I don’t know if Aunt Zhang and sister Ah Juan wanted to go? If you want, we can go together, which is more convenient and lively!”

Madam Zhao’s eyes lit up and she smiled enviously: “That’s conveniently, you have a donkey cart now! Mother, we also wanted to buy New Years goods… if you don’t want to go, why not let me go?”

Aunt Zhang thought for a while and then smiled at Lian Fang Zhou: “If it’s not too troublesome, then—”

“Mother, you and Fang Zhou are too polite! If it was troublesome, why would she come to our house to invite us! Fang Zhou, let’s agree! Whenever you set out tomorrow, call me!” Madam Zhao immediately said, cheerful and eager.

This year, their family had made a lot of money, enough for three or four years of expenses, and it was good to be live a little affluently.
In addition, the cotton that originally needed to be planted was no longer an issue, so there was even more money remaining in their hands.
Madam Zhao had already figured out what she wanted to buy for the new year.
