The end of the year has arrived as scheduled.

In Jiangnan Town, which has a bumper harvest this year, the atmosphere of Chinese New Year is stronger than ever.

Farmers have food in their hands, and they can have a good year by selling it on the street. People in the city also enjoy the dividends of the harvest. Chicken, duck and fish are all on the table.

In Jiangnan Town, Tian Liang's family is selling fish and shrimp from Xiaohuang Village. On New Year's Eve, the business is very good.

Of course, many people from various villages and places came to Xiaohuang Village to wait for the fish and shrimp to come out of the pond in person.

This year's New Year's Eve can be said to be the most prosperous and prosperous year in the history of Jiangnan Township. Even the cold wave can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for celebrating the New Year.

For those guests staying in the hotel, Zhu Jiangjiang also arranged for the people in the store to hang up couplets and lanterns symbolizing the New Year inside and outside the store.

New Year's Eve dinner is also prepared for them.

She wants these wanderers from other places to feel the atmosphere of Chinese New Year here.

After Zhu Jiangjiang came back from the yamen a few days ago, he has been preparing things for the New Year, and even went to congratulate Shen Min on his birthday.

Regarding the content of the conversation with Zhou Liang in the yamen, she never mentioned it to anyone, and she really had more than enough energy.

But with such a big event in her heart, she didn't live this year as happily as she saw on the surface.

"Sister-in-law, the chicken feathers have been plucked."

Xiao Qi and the others went to the city as usual this year to celebrate the New Year with their elder brother Zhou Liang. In the village, only Pei Xiaoyu accompanied Zhu Jiangjiang to celebrate the New Year.

Zhu Jiangjiang slaughtered a chicken and was going to cook chicken stewed with mushrooms, and Pei Xiaoyu helped.

This year's less gathering and more separation made the little girl a lot more sensible. She stayed with Zhu Jiangjiang at home during the holidays, and learned to wash clothes and help her.

"it is good."

Zhu Jiangjiang came out with a basin of shrimp in his hand, replacing the water basin in front of Pei Xiaoyu, "Then remove the shrimp from the shrimp line, and I'll chop the chicken and stew it first."

"Understood, sister-in-law."

Pei Xiaoyu has no complaints, and she will do as much work as Zhu Jiangjiang throws at her.

The water in the basin is all warm water. She washes shrimps and vegetables without freezing her hands. Even if she freezes, there is a stove in the kitchen for baking.

When the aunt and sister-in-law were lowering their heads and busy making the New Year's Eve dinner, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from far to near, and they stopped in front of the fenced yard of Pei's house.

"elder brother!"

Pei Xiaoyu, who was sitting in the yard peeling shrimp, was the first to see the person who entered the door. She was so excited that she ignored the shrimp in her hand and rushed towards Pei Ji.

While running, he shouted: "Sister-in-law, brother is back, brother is back..."

Zhu Jiangjiang, who was chopping chicken in the kitchen, heard this, put down the kitchen knife and ran out.

Before he could see clearly what was going on in the yard, he bumped into Pei Ji at the kitchen door.

"Miss, be careful!"

Pei Ji grabbed her waist nervously to prevent her from falling, "Why are you still so reckless?"

"Master, why did you come back suddenly?" Zhu Jiangjiang didn't care about other things, grabbed his sleeve and jumped up and down excitedly.

Pei Ji's sudden return home dissipated all the bad emotions she had buried in her heart.

"Be careful!"

As soon as Pei Ji got home, he was frightened twice by her, and his heart almost stopped beating.

Does she know that she is pregnant at the moment!

"It's okay, I'm fine, don't be nervous." Zhu Jiangjiang is used to it, and his stomach is not too big, so he can't see it in winter clothes.

Pei Ji's reaction was completely different from hers.

He glanced at the chicken on the cutting board in the kitchen, and frowned, "Why didn't you find someone to serve you, my Pei family can still afford a maid."

God knows how worried he is about Zhu Jiangjiang.

Ever since she told him in the letter that she was happy, he has been thinking about coming back soon all the time.

But the border has not yet stabilized, and Pei Sang has not been able to take responsibility, he can't leave, so he can only delay again and again.

Now he couldn't wait, and with the cold wave sweeping the entire Dali Dynasty, he was worried about Zhu Jiangjiang, so he made up his mind and came back despite the risk of being played by court officials.

Zhu Jiangjiang was exactly as he guessed, he was neither big nor small, and he didn't know how to cherish his body.

"It's not that I'm too big to walk, what are you afraid of?" Zhu Jiangjiang took a step back, as if he was a little unhappy, and he caught her to preach as soon as he came back.

She walked to the chopping board, but Pei Ji snatched the kitchen knife before she could pick it up.

"I come."

Pei Ji said he was coming, but he picked up the knife and put it down, then hugged her tightly.

"My lady, I miss you so much..."

The one thing he wanted to do the most after he came back was to hug her. He hadn't seen her for more than four months, and it was half a year, so why didn't he miss her.

The moment Zhu Jiangjiang was hugged by him, tears welled up in his eyes.

She has never expressed her emotions during pregnancy in front of anyone. In everyone's eyes, she is still the optimistic and strong Xiaoqiang who cannot be defeated.

But only she knew that it was all pretended by her.

Even though Pei Ji was not around, she was smooth sailing, but her mood was unstable during pregnancy, and she would lose her temper at every turn.

She endured it again and again, and at the moment when she saw him come back, she couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sir, you are so cold." Zhu Jiangjiang wiped the tears off his face with his clothes, but was persuaded by the temperature of his clothes.

On the way back, his clothes got a lot of frost.

On the road day and night, the body temperature melted the frost and covered the clothes, and the cold wind dried the frost on the surface of the clothes, so it was naturally icy cold.

"I'm sorry, I can't pass the cold to you, I'm going to change clothes now."

Pei Ji forgot how cold he was at the moment, he was riding on the horse, and was blown unconscious by the wind.

"Sir, there is hot water in the pot, you..." Zhu Jiangjiang grabbed his belt, and only by touching did he realize how thin his clothes were.

"Why do you wear so little?" She raised her face angrily, and touched him all over with her hands. The clothes had been blown hard by the cold wind, without the softness of fibers at all.

"Go take a shower and change clothes, I made you a new cotton robe, it's in the closet upstairs."

Zhu Jiangjiang wanted to fetch water for him without saying a word.

It is impossible for Pei Ji to let her do this kind of heavy work, "I will do it myself, my lady, you can wash your hands and sit back. I will come down to cook after taking a shower."

"But your face looks sleepy."

His face was flushed from the cold, and the dark circles under his eyes were still very obvious. It looked like he hadn't slept well for several days.

"It's okay, just go to bed early at night." Pei Ji braced himself up and resolutely refused to let Zhu Jiangjiang enter the kitchen again.

In this way, this year's New Year's Eve dinner was all handed over to the two brothers and sisters of the Pei family. Zhu Jiangjiang was just warming up at the house, eating and waiting to die.

Pei Ji didn't prepare the New Year's Eve dinner until it was getting dark.

"Eat quickly, little fish, and go to bed early after eating."

Before even moving his chopsticks, Pei Ji was already urging Pei Xiaoyu.

"Brother, I'm not in a hurry..."

Pei Xiaoyu wanted to share something with Pei Ji, but Pei Ji didn't give her a chance, "I'm in a hurry."

"what?"

Seeing this, Zhu Jiangjiang laughed, "Don't be sad, Xiaoyu, your brother is tired, let him sleep tonight, we can talk tomorrow if we have something to say, okay?"
