“Why would l? What if she isn’t good enough for my son? I still have to rely on him to support me in my old age. Besides, Zhang Meili is ugly and I can’t rely on her. I don’t feel safe at all now being alone.”

“Alright, alright. You both are more than welcome to come over. However, don’t bring any vegetables over. We already asked Zicui and the others to buy a lot of vegetables.”

“Then what about my vegetables? 1 bought quite a few too.”

“Darong and the others should need it. They have many relatives.”

“Alright, we’ll send it out while it’s still fresh.” After saying that, Xue Dagui stopped leaning on the wall and shouted at his son, Gouzi. He smiled and sent some vegetables to Xue Darongs family. The rest was sent to Xue Dahua’s family. There were several kilograms of meat among them.

Of course, Dahua’s family was unwilling to accept the gift, but Xue Dagui was quicker to dodge. He simply put it down and ran.

Xue Dahua laughed at his antics and happily accepted the gift. Sifu was sensible now. Xue Darongs family had actually sent him a lot of things. Out of the four brothers, his family had experienced the worst type of days. He also knew that Xue Dafu had always wanted to help him, but it was not easy. He could only turn the corner and ask Darong and Sifu to help him.

In fact, his family’s days this year were much better than in previous years.

This was because his son was one of the first batches of people hired by Xue Darongs oil mill this year. At that time, his son did not dare to go, afraid that his wife would feel disgusted. After all, the oil mill was opened with the help of Xue Dafu’s family. It was only after Xue Darong came several times that his wife allowed his son to go.

Xue Dahua’s wife pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

After Xue Dagui had given away all the groceries, he brought Xue Gouzi to Xue Dafu’s house for the New Year. It was just next door, so it was quite convenient.

With two more people, it naturally became more lively.

After a while, Liu Guixia, Yu Hongyan, Zicui, and the others cooked some paste in the kitchen. The paste was still very sticky and was used to paste blessings.

There were so many doors and windows in the old and new houses at home. They all had to be pasted with blessings.

Xue Dagui also took some paste and brought Xue Gouzi home to paste blessings.

Because Xue Gouzi had started attending school, although his calligraphy was not very good, Xue Dagui was still quite proud of his writing. Therefore, a few days ago, he bought the red paper and asked someone to bring it back. He asked Xue Gouzi to write a few blessings on the red piece of paper. Today, his house was decorated with the blessings written by Xue Gouzi.

The blessings of Xue Dafu’s family were naturally written by Xue Yan — his handwriting looked much better.

He was going to paste the blessing on the door and window of the old house first.

Xue Yan was carrying a bamboo basket in one hand, and in the bamboo basket were the written blessings on red paper. The other hand was naturally holding Jiang Yue’s.

One of Jiang Yue’s hands was held by Xue Yan as usual, while the other hand was holding a brush made of pig hair.

This brush would be dipped in the paste and then used to stick the blessings on the walls.

Xue Sifu was carrying the paste in a small basin.

Xue Yifu was carrying a ladder.

“Let’s go to the old house.”

Some families had already put their blessings around the house, while others were still sticking them up.

Xue Dafu and Erfu had already gone over. They were standing on high stools with brooms in their hands. They were removing the blessings from last year’s doors and windows. If they couldn’t remove them, they would use brooms to sweep them clean. Only then the new blessings were stuck on them.

Seeing that the old blessings on the courtyard door of the old house had already been cleaned up, the kids got to work. The courtyard door was not that high, there was no need for a ladder. Xue Yifu put the ladder aside first and brought over a bench, then stepped on it..
