Not long after the Tang family husband and wife went out, someone came to the Tang family’s door.

Knock knock.

Knock knock.

“I’ll take a look.”

Tang Feng put down the book in his hand, let Lin Yu, who was making a New Year’s cotton jacket for Tang Amo, to continue and went out and opened the door by himself. The rain and snow were light today, so there was no need to hold an umbrella when he went to the courtyard gate.

“Big brother?”

Standing outside the door was Lin Zhuang, his usually humble face was anxious and contradictory.

Tang Feng welcomed Lin Zhuang into the house. When Lin Yu saw his eldest brother like that, he knew that there was something going on, so he put all the work in his hand aside.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Yu asked softly.

Tang Feng also moved the book he was just reading next to him to the side.

Lin Zhuang wiped his face with his big hand, and said in a slightly deep voice, “I quarreled with Amo. ”

“You quarreled with Amo?!”

Tang Feng and Lin Yu glanced at each other, and Lin Zhuang nodded.

Lin Yu continued to ask, “Why? In all these years, you have never had the slightest dispute with our family members. ”

Lin Zhuang looked like it was hard for him to say. 

Seeing this, Tang Feng got up and gently closed the door of the hall.

Lin Zhuang’s expression relaxed.

“I told Amo,” Lin Zhuang raised his head and looked at Tang Feng and Lin Yu, “I want to marry Wu De.”

“Marry Wu De?!”

Lin Yu stood up directly, and Tang Feng thought to himself that sure enough, they had a problem.

“Do you know, Wu De, he has a fiancé! ”

Lin Yu’s words made Lin Zhuang bury his head, Tang Feng turned his head sideways, “Wu De has a fiancé?”

“That person is not a fiancé anymore!” Lin Zhuang also stood up, his honest face was full of seriousness, “Since his Amo’s incident, the other party has not come over to mention marriage. For so many years, he hasn’t come to see Wu De, how could that person be called a fiancé?”

Tang Feng saw the two standing facing each other, the atmosphere became more and more tense, so hurriedly pulled Lin Yu down to sit.

Then he said softly to Lin Zhuang, “Big brother sit down quickly, let’s sit down and talk about this.”

Lin Zhuang looked at Lin Yu, who was sitting in front of Tang Feng, who did not look at him at all.

Hearing Tang Feng say it like this, he sighed lightly and sat down.

“Big brother, Wu De’s fiancé hasn’t come to see him for so long, how did you know about this?” Tang Feng was the first to ask.

Lin Zhuang didn’t think about it, “It was Wu De who told me.” 

Tang Feng’s eyes were slightly deeper, why did Wu De tell Lin Zhuang these things? Could it be that because the two are happy with each other, Wu De is not willing to let Lin Zhuang have any scruples because of his previous affairs, so he told Lin Zhuang about his fiancé who has not been in contact for many years?

“Why did he tell you?” Lin Yu asked, even Lin Yu himself heard from others that Wu De had a fiancé.

“Must there be a reason to say this? He just wanted to tell me that he didn’t have a fiancé anymore and that I could come to his door to ask for marriage.”

Lin Zhuang scratched his head and looked at Tang Feng and Lin Yu in confusion.

Tang Feng smiled and said, “Then does mother-in-law know about this?” 

“I said everything that should be said, but they just didn’t agree, I really couldn’t do anything, that’s why I came to you.” Lin Zhuang said bitterly.

“Then did mother-in-law say something about why he didn’t agree?”

Lin Yu raised his head and also looked at Lin Zhuang.

“Amo said, before the Wu family explains this matter clearly, he absolute won’t let me think about it.” Lin Zhuang sighed.

“It was meant to be like this! Although the man did not come to the door, the engagement is still there! Even if his Amo set it, they didn’t officially break off the engagement. did not officially destroy this marriage contract, if he just let you come to ask for marriage then how could this be appropriate! ”

Lin Yu said a lot of things at once, although his tone was a little emotional, it was also reasonable.

“That’s right, big brother, since Wu De can tell you about his fiancé in private, then you can tentatively ask him, if the engagement can be broken. In this way, you will not have to worry about being together in the future. ”

Although others may not come back to provoke Wu De, Tang Feng knows that this person’s heart is unpredictable, since he is his brother-in-law, he will naturally not let the situation develop.

Although Lin Zhuang is simple and honest, he still has the ability to differentiate, naturally he will not be muddled head and think that there is no need to pay attention to the engagement. He and Lin Amo quarreled also because both parties were more emotional at that time, after calming down, listening to the analysis of Tang Feng and Lin Yu, he naturally knew how to approach it.

“Then I’ll ask him.”

Lin Zhuang said after a half a day of silence.

Lin Yu looked at this kind of big brother and sighed in his heart.

After Lin Zhuang left, Tang Feng looked at Lin Yu, who was absent-mindedly making clothes, and said with a smile, “What’s wrong, this Wu De and you were also good friends, aren’t you happy that he would be your brother-in-law?”

Lin Yu’s slender fingers deftly passed through the fabric and gently smoothed it out, “Friends are friends, family is family, Wu De can be a friend, but family………….”

“What are you afraid of?” Tang Feng asked lightly brushing Lin Yu’s long hair with his hand.

What is he afraid of? The movements of Lin Yu’s hands became slower and slower, was he afraid that Wu De would do the same thing as his Amo? No, he was afraid that Wu De didn’t like his eldest brother, he just wanted to leave that home, so he just used his eldest brother.

Lin Yu remembered that when he and Wu De were collecting firewood in the mountains, Wu De once said, “I will leave that home sooner or later, but I need someone who can help me leave.”

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yu’s mood turned very gloomy when suddenly a light rubbing laid on his temple, “Husband? ”

Behind him came Tang Feng’s gentle voice as always, “Don’t think about it, leave the matter relating to using the brain to me.”

I don’t want you to be worried for other people, because you are mine.

Father Tang returned home before noon.

“That kid Wu Zhong is really good and can understand the situation.” Although he did it for himself.

“Amo,” Tang Feng walked to Tang Amo’s side and asked softly, “I heard someone suddenly talk about what happened to Wu Ger’s fiancé today?” 

“Who is this person going around gossipping!?” Father Tang was very dissatisfied when he heard this, he didn’t like the people in the village to get together to spout nonsense.

“Ignore him!”

Tang Amo gave Tang Father a blank look and looked at Tang Feng, “Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?” After speaking, he glanced at Lin Yu beside him, then glanced at Tang Feng again, and Tang Amo mistakenly thought that Tang Feng’s feeling was unstable.

Tang Feng said with a smile, “It’s just that I haven’t heard about this before, so I came up with a way to find Wu Zhong? But if this Wu family Ger really has a fiancé, why is his Step Amo still ruining the reputation of the Wu family Ger outside? ”

So it’s like this, Tang Amo breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Tang Feng had some undeserved thoughts about Wu De.

“You don’t know, Wu Ger’s fiancé was decided by his Amo, this marriage matter has not been mentioned since his Amo left, what is the difference between having a fiancé and not having one.”

“So that’s why,” Tang Feng nodded, “By the way, there was a lot of movement last evening, did you gain anything from going to the Wu family?”

When Father Tang heard this, he hummed: “Those two couples are so virtuous. Wu Zhong mentioned a few words there, he also understood, he was talking with his Amo in the house when we left.”

“It’s that Wu Ger who did not leave the room. I said a few words to him outside the door, listening to that small voice, it felt strange and distressing.”

Although Tang Amo has a bold and vigorous temper, he also has a typical sharp mouth but tofu heart.

“I’ll go see him.”

Lin Yu suddenly said out loud.

After lunch, Lin Yu went to the Wu house.

Coincidentally, Lin Yu met Lin Zhuang as soon as he arrived at the fork in the road not far from the wall of the Wu Family Courtyard.

“Second brother?”

Lin Yu looked at the courtyard wall of the Wu family, when Lin Zhuang hurriedly said, “I didn’t go in!”

“I’m here to see him.” Lin Yu said.

Lin Zhuang nodded hurriedly, watching Lin Yu walk in front of him. He stood there for a long time before leaving from the same place.

Although the Wu Lao’er family is not very good to Wu De, they still have a good appearance to outsiders.

Seeing Lin Yu coming to see Wu De, there was not much reaction, Wu Step Amo was even a little enthusiastic, he was told by his son today, and suddenly everything was clear at once! Now, he’s only eager for someone to come and let them see how “good” he was to Wu De, so that he could make amends for the mistakes he had made before.

Inside Wu De’s house, Lin Yu and Wu De looked at each other, relatively speechless.

After half a day, Wu De smiled, “Don’t worry about me, I’m used to it.”

Lin Yu looked at the increasingly thin Wu De’s palm little face with a smile, but the pale face let people know that he was not very comfortable.

Like the purpose of his coming here, Lin Yu suddenly didn’t know how to ask this kind of Wu De.

Are you using my brother as a springboard for you to leave this house? Or do you really like my brother?

“Lin Yu?”

Wu De saw that Lin Yu did not respond to anything for a long time, and looked unguarded, so he gently pulled his clothes.

“It’s okay, this is for you, this is what my husband prescribed. He said it can eliminate bruises.”

Lin Yu put the medicine prepared by Tang Feng in his hand on the small table next to the bed and said softly.

Wu De looked at the medicine on the table, his eyes were full of envy, “Thank you, your life is so good.” 

Lin Yu having his back facing Wu De, his expression suddenly sank, the whole body emitted a little unapproachable feeling.

“What’s wrong? Come, let’s chat. ”

Wu De saw that Lin Yu did not look back for a long time, and said with a smile.

“No need, I still have things to do at home, you take care of yourself, it’ll be a new year in a few days.”

Lin Yu walked directly to the door of the room, just as he was about to close the door, he said again, “Your own life is lived by yourself, whether it is good or bad, it is all in the heart.”

He didn’t know if he had said this sentence to Wu De or to himself.

The moment the door was closed, if Lin Yu could open the door again, he would see the Wu De who he had never seen before, with an expressionless face and even a piece of cold under his eyes.

“Your life is really good.”

Lin Yu on the way remembered what Wu De said just now.

Good life?

If he hadn’t met his husband, would his life really be good?

If it was really good, they would not be forced to leave the village! And had to come to another village to settle down!

Lin Yu remembered some things from before, the trouble in his heart was even greater!

When he returned home, the Tang husband and wife were not at home. Tang Feng was in the room folding the clothes he had made today and putting them aside.

“You’re back?”

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Tang Feng did not look back, he said while putting his clothes away.

A pair of warm and slender hands appeared behind Tang Feng’s waist and gently clasped it, followed by a drooping shoulder, a warm breath also came from his shoulders.

Tang Feng was a little surprised by his wife’s initiative. He put the things in his hand down, and turned back to hug Lin Yu.

“In a bad mood?”

Following Lin Yu’s hair, bah! It was Tang Feng who lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

Lin Yu didn’t say much, but hugged Tang Feng tighter, “Husband.” 

“En?”

Lin Yu whispered along the root of Tang Feng’s ear.

“You asked for it!”

Tang Feng, who heard the words in his ear clearly, directly put Lin Yu down on the bed and covered it.

The clothes were thrown out of the bed curtain, there was an ambiguous sound inside, but in a moment, the bed began to shake, the occasional sound that overflowed could make a person’s face flushed with redness….

The next day, Lin Amo came to Lin Yu, and directly said that he would not agree to Lin Zhuang and Wu De at the moment, and specifically told Lin Yu that if Lin Zhuang came to them to ask for ideas, Lin Yu should not pay attention to him. 

Lin Yu naturally agreed, fortunately, this year is coming to an end, and neither Wu De nor Lin Zhuang had any accident.

Lin Yu and Tang Amo were busy preparing ingredients for the New Year. Tang Feng did not rest since there were many people who came to him to write couplets. He wrote for this family and another family saw it and came too, therefore he became more and more familiar with the villagers.

The people who came to find Tang Feng all knew about Tang Feng’s good handwritings from Wang Laomo. Moreover, there was no need to spend money so they came. Most of the other villagers went to the Wen family, after all, Wen Shu was already a Lord Xiucai, this Tang Feng currently had nothing to compare to.

“Liu Amo, I don’t charge money here.”

Tang Feng pushed back the copper coins that Liu Laosan’s Fu Lang had placed on the table and said with a smile.

Liu Laosan’s Fu Lang did not take it, “This is only a little, just think of it as the red money of your Liu Amo that I give you.” 

*Red money, the gift money given by elders to juniors during the New Year, it’s similar to red pocket.

Liu Laosan’s Fu Lang clearly said that his family had money, this was a wealth show off!

The smile on Tang Feng’s face did not change, but he still did not move the copper coins on the table, “Having said that, there are still two days before the new year. You take it back. The red money given before the new year doesn’t have a good meaning, isn’t that right?”

Liu Laosan’s Fu Lang then remembered that giving red money to others before the new year would mean losing money! This is not going to work! His son will be married soon after the beginning of the year! He can’t lose money!

Grabbing the copper coins back on the table, Liu Laosan’s Fu Lang sneered, “That’s right, that’s right, I still have something to do, I won’t stay, I’m leaving now!”

After speaking, he took the copper coins he had just grabbed and began to walk towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Tang Feng picked up the couplet written on the table and shouted to Liu Laosan’s Fu Lang, who was in a hurry to leave, “Liu Amo, your couplet hasn’t been taken yet!”

“Ah?”

Liu Laosan’s Fu Lang looked back this time, in Tang Feng’s hand, isn’t that the couplet he wanted! “Look at my memory, thank you!”

“This person just loves to show off, as if other families aren’t like them.” 

Tang Amo entered the hall and brought in the brazier with charcoal, “Come and warm up, sitting without moving like this makes it colder than anything else!”

Tang Feng did feel that his feet were a little cold, even a little itchy, it looked like he got frostbite. He had this problem with his heels loving to have frostbite in his previous life.

Tang Feng sat by the brazier, it didn’t take long for Tang Amo and Lin Yu to bring an empty bamboo steamer over and put it on a high stool next to the brazier.

Father Tang came over with a large wooden basin, which contained a kind of glutinous rice-like flour, which was very expensive! It was sixty-six copper coins a pound! This is already after reconciling, “Ah Feng go to the kitchen to get the minced meat and fragrant leaves, my hands really can’t be freed. ”

“Okay.”

Tang Feng came to the kitchen and saw a medium-sized wooden basin on the dining table, containing chopped meat and salt vegetables, and five handfuls of fragrant leaves that had been washed on the side.

Tang Feng took things into the hall, Lin Yu took the fragrant leaves in his hand, and Tang Amo took the minced meat.

“Come, you help me grab the other side.” Lin Yu picked up a kitchen knife in one hand and grabbed a handful of fragrant leaves in the other hand and said to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng held the bottom of the fragrant leaf, after Lin Yu compared it twice with his hand, he cut it into a palm-long section and cut it four times.

Putting the cut fragrant leaves into an empty steamer, the Tang family began to work.

Tang Feng handed fragrant leaves to Lin Yu, Lin Yu put glutinous rice flour into the fragrant leaves, then handed it to Father Tang, who used a small spoon to dig a little meat filling and stuffed it into glutinous rice flour, and then handed it to Tang Amo. Tang Amo kneaded it into glutinous rice balls, wrapped it in fragrant leaves and put it in another steamer.

This is the new year round flat cake.

Whenever the peasant family had better conditions, they would buy a few pounds of glutinous rice flour and come back to make New Year round flat cake.

The stuffing of new year round flat cakes is different for each household. It can be said that each family has a distinctive taste.

Some people use vegan products, some use whole meat, most of them are made with meat and vegetables, such as the Tang family.

The new year round flat cake, in addition to being rich in the taste of the new year, is also a particularly important return gift in the New Year. When people finish paying a new year call and say goodbye to the host, the host will give you a bag, which contains the new year round flat cake made by his own family. He will take how many new year round flat cakes according to the amount of the other party’s family. Besides the new year round flat cake, there is usually a small red paper bag inside, which is red money for the gift.

“I remember the new year round flat cake that Wu Zhu and the others made last year, tsk, tsk, that smell. It was simple!” Father Tang feels tasteful when he thinks about it!

After heating the brazier and wrapping the new year round flat cake, the family began to chat.
