Xu Xingwen was about to go back to his room to read when he passed by his elder brother and sister-in-law's room and saw Xu Rulan coming out of it.

"Uncle."

He nodded to the little girl, took a few steps forward and then suddenly stopped, turned around and called: "Xiao Lan'er, come here, I want to ask you something."

Xu Rulan turned back to look at her uncle, whom she had not seen at home a few times throughout the year. She walked over doubtfully, "Uncle, what do you want to ask?"

Xu Xingwen lowered his head and adjusted the cuffs of his new clothes, pretending not to care and said: "Tell your uncle about Haorui. Next time you come back from town, I will bring you some candies."

The little girl's eyes lit up after hearing this and she said excitedly: "Okay, what do you want to ask your second brother about?" She patted her chest, "As long as I know something, I will tell you everything."

Xu Xingwen was curious: "Second brother? You have a good relationship with him?"

Xu Rulan shook her head, "I just said hello to my second brother."

Xu Xingwen nodded to show understanding and continued to ask: "When did he get married?"

"The first day of the twelfth lunar month."

"It's only been a month since we got married? Who was the matchmaker?"

"Yeah, I don't know."

"The next one, well, what's his husband's name? Where is he from?"

Xu Rulan shook her head, "I don't know either. Grandma won't let us play with the second brother. I haven't had any contact with the second sister-in-law, so I haven't asked about it."

Xu Xingwen waved his hand in disappointment and asked her to leave.

Xu Rulan turned around again and again, "Uncle, remember my candy."

"I know." Thinking that Xu Haorui would come to the door later, he stopped Xu Rulan again, "Wait a minute, Xiao Lan'er."

Seeing her running back, he whispered: "Your second brother and sister-in-law will come to the door later, come outside and let me know."

Xu Rulan nodded. Although she didn't know why her uncle was so concerned about her second brother and sister-in-law, for the sake of her candy, she didn't dare to ask for fear of annoying others.

The little girl was thinking about the candies she had yet to receive, and happily ran to the yard to help clean the yard.

After Xu Haorui finished offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he led his young husband back home, paying New Year greetings to the villagers he met on the road from time to time.

The ancestral halls in the village are built in one place, and the ancestral halls for each surname are different in size.

The Tang Family Ancestral Hall is right next to the Xu Family Ancestral Hall.

"Hey, Happy New Year. How about the little Orion and the young husband come to worship their ancestors together?"

"Yes, Auntie, we are going back."

"Sure, hahaha, you go back and do your work." Tang Wanqian's daughter-in-law said pleasantly.

Fortunately, Xu Haorui bought her family's millet in advance, so her family's selection of new year's goods this year was better than the previous year.

Lin Qingjiu followed Xu Haorui's instructions and prepared the gifts that she brought to the Xu family's old house. Then she stretched out half of her body from the kitchen window and shouted to Xu Haorui who was cleaning in the courtyard, "Okay, Rui."
