Chapter 224: 127, sudden intelligence! Lin Mo was so frightened that he trembled all over!_1

New Year is the liveliest time in the village and a rare moment of rest for people who have been busy all year long.

At five in the morning, when the sky had just begun to brighten, the sound of firecrackers in the village had already started, one after another.

It’s time to get up!

Lin Mo opened his eyes groggily and patted Li Jinwen next to him. Once she opened her eyes, he said, “Wife, happy New Year.”

Li Jinwen nodded her head, stretched lazily, smiled and said, “Husband, happy New Year. The New Year’s gift is already prepared, but you might have to wait a few months to see it. Where’s my New Year’s gift?”

“Haha, I prepared yours two months ago.” Lin Mo stroked his wife’s belly and said, “Just like yours, we’ll be able to pick it up in a few months!”

“What’s that… being pregnant is really hard, you know, and besides, it’s me who’s pregnant, how can it count as a gift you’ve given me! That’s just cheating!” Li Jinwen stood up from the bed, unhappy, and said, “I don’t care, I want a New Year’s gift.”

“Have you forgotten what you said when you were chasing me?”

Uh…

It’s been so long, she really couldn’t remember clearly.

Lin Mo went to the clothes-hanging area, took out a jewelry box, and said with a smile, “Just kidding with you, I’ve prepared it long ago. Here, a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet.”

“I remember one year we went shopping, you secretly stared at this bracelet for a long time, your eyes filled with stars. Although you didn’t say anything, I knew you must like it, and now, I can finally give it to you.”

Seeing the sparkling bracelet in the jewelry box, Li Jinwen’s thoughts were immediately pulled back to life a few years ago, when there really were many things she wanted to buy and she truly envied the women in her circle of friends who received gifts.

Now things are good,

her husband has made a lot of money, and she can freely have everything she wants.

More importantly, her husband hasn’t changed; he’s still that gentle, considerate, and thoughtful good man.

Thinking about all this made her eyes slightly redden.

This feeling of happiness is so wonderful!

“Silly girl, no crying during the New Year. Come here, let me put it on for you.” Lin Mo walked over to his wife, considerately put the bracelet on her wrist and praised, “Hmm, not bad at all. Such fair and lovely arms definitely deserve some fine jewelry; otherwise, it would be a waste!”

Li Jinwen’s eyes were red.

Really, she had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel!

After so many years of poverty, so many years of hardship.

The happy life had finally arrived!

“Hurry, hurry, why cry? Get dressed quickly, wake up your daughter, everyone has started setting off firecrackers.”

“We can’t be too late.”

Yesterday’s firecrackers were for welcoming the gods, and this morning’s firecrackers will be for receiving them; you can only set them off after hanging up the spring couplets.

Now it’s a competition to see which family is more diligent and gets up earlier.

“Yes!”

Li Jinwen nodded vigorously, wiping the happy tears from her face.

The couple got dressed, Li Jinwen went to wash up, while Lin Mo went to wake up their daughter.

But…

She just wouldn’t get up…

Lin Mo called her on the left, and Lin Xiaoxiao rolled over to the right.

Lin Mo shouted on the right, and she rolled over to dodge to the left.

After being constantly disturbed, she simply burrowed into the blanket.

Having not studied for so long, she had developed a habit of sleeping in.

Plus, she was like a wild horse off its reins during the day, never stopping for a moment, so she must sleep soundly.

Sleeping in on a regular day isn’t an issue, but not today; she must get up early!

“Come on, get up, my girl. Your grandpa has prepared a red envelope for you. If you don’t want it, I’m going to take it all!”

“Also, Dad has prepared a gift for you, too. Do you want it?”

“If you don’t get up now, I’m going to call your mom.”

After a mixture of threats and temptations, he finally woke his daughter and helped her into her new clothes.

When the family of three came downstairs, they saw that both parents and in-laws had already put on new clothes and were arranging the spring couplets they had bought the day before in the living room.

People count on clothes as horses count on saddles,

the family looked very festive in their new outfits.

Zhang Li was still a little uncomfortable walking and was sitting on the sofa teaching Lin Siyu how to arrange candies.

Xu Qin was organizing the couplets and, seeing Lin Mo come down, directed, “Son, come here quickly. This pair is for the main door, this pair is for the first floor, and this pair is for….”

“The paste has been prepared; it’s in the kitchen. Go get it later. I made extra this year, so you can use more if you need.”

Before, the task of hanging spring couplets was always completed by Lin Changshui, but now that dad’s legs weren’t good, he definitely couldn’t do the climbing and stooping, so it naturally fell to Lin Mo, the new head of the household, to do it.

Luckily, there were many helpers this year.

Aside from his wife, who could hand him things, his in-laws could also help correct the direction of the couplets.

Compared to other people’s little western-style houses, there weren’t many places to hang couplets in Lin Mo’s home, and it only took half an hour to finish.

After hanging up the spring couplets and hanging a string of 3000 firecrackers at the door, the whole family stood in the yard with Lin Mo holding a sparkler.

“I’m lighting them now; everyone cover your ears!”

After lighting the firecrackers, Lin Mo quickly dashed to the side of the crowd.

Crackle, pop…

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, everyone’s faces brimmed with joyous smiles.

The morning’s work was done.

Today was the day for the reunion dinner, and since every family had their own preparations, there naturally wouldn’t be many visitors paying visits.
