Chapter 113 - 110 fell into the water, 330 additional - s with monthly ticket
Until the 28th of the new year, Qin Xi was still running around outside, but finally made it back in time for lunch, bringing with her a bag full of items.
Li Xianglu gasped in surprise as she took out a thick pork leg and a large chunk of ribs from the bag, her eyes almost lighting up the entire room.
Li Xianglu started muttering about various dishes—twice-cooked pork, braised ribs, sauerkraut stewed with pork, as well as dumplings filled with cabbage and pork, and dumplings filled with carrot and lamb.
This New Year’s feast was indeed extravagant.
Qin Xi also received a parcel from Mr. Qin mailed from the capital, filled with food, National Food Tickets, cloth tickets, and money. Another piece of news was that Qin Miao had returned to the capital.
After reading the letter, Qin Xi just scoffed disdainfully, amused. What use would returning be? Could she really help her own father secure a position back in the city?
On New Year’s Eve, with everyone’s help, Li Xianglu prepared a table full of dishes—six hot dishes, two cold dishes, and one soup. This made Qin Zhen exclaim in surprise, saying it was the first time he had ever had so many dishes in his life.
On the first day of the lunar new year, it was both Li Xianglu and Grandpa Li’s first New Year. They both knelt on the kang bed, formally kowtowed to the elder, and received a red envelope with twenty yuan. Qin Xi and Qin Zhen received ten yuan each.
Qin Zhen was thrilled, as the largest New Year’s money he had ever received was just one yuan. This year, he received ten yuan and was eager to go shopping in the county.
