Chapter 434: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 434: Intentionally Picking a Quarrel Over New Year's Red Envelope (1)**


The family chattered cheerfully, awaiting the arrival of the New Year. Only Mo Yan seemed unable to lift her spirits, rarely speaking. If not for the constant chatter of everyone else, someone might have noticed that something was amiss with her.


When midnight arrived, firecrackers outside popped incessantly, resembling a pot of boiling porridge. Mo Qingze solemnly carried a tray with offerings and performed the ritual to usher out the old year in the courtyard. Amidst a series of loud firecrackers, the family joyfully welcomed the New Year.


After finishing delicious dumplings, everyone couldn't resist the fatigue of staying up late. They exchanged a few words before each retiring to their rooms. Mo Yan, accompanied by the three beasts, had just stepped into her courtyard when Mao Mao swiftly descended from the roof eaves, circling in front of her and emitting sharp, ear-piercing cries.


Apparently, this fellow was angry due to Mo Yan's previous neglect!


In the bedroom, Mao Mao used its beak to open the letter tube and placed the letter on the table. Carefully, it spread the letter open with its two claws and held it in its mouth, then flapped its wings and flew directly in front of Mo Yan. Its sharp eyes stared intently at her, its long claws extending and retracting as if ready to scratch her if she dared to ignore it again.


Mo Yan: "..."


Now that it had come to this, it would seem too affected if she continued to ignore it. Taking the spread-open letter to a lamp, she looked at the familiar handwriting, causing her heart to beat faster.


Compared to the usual concise style, this letter filled an entire page. It depicted vast frontier landscapes, daily life in the barracks, and his thoughts. From start to finish, there wasn't a single interrogative sentence, nor did it show any dissatisfaction between the lines. It seemed like a simple letter between two longtime friends, yet given his temperament and the brevity of previous letters, this one appeared remarkably special and unexpected. In this subtle way, he conveyed his concern over her failure to reply!


Mo Yan read the letter repeatedly, her expression complex. It was as if she wanted to imprint every word in her mind. Finally, she carefully folded it along its creases and placed it in a small wooden box in her drawer, where all the previous letters were kept.


Despite Mao Mao's incessant prompting, Mo Yan still didn't reply. She needed to calm down and think about how to handle this relationship that seemed unlikely to have a future. Until she figured it out, she wouldn't respond at all.


After bathing in the space and throwing the noisy creature inside, covering it with a blanket, Mo Yan wondered if she could sleep with her disturbed mind. Only she knew the answer.


On the first day of the new year, a fresh start began.


Because they had to visit the villagers to pay New Year's respects, despite not having slept well, the Mo family members didn't dare to stay in bed. They woke up early, dressed in brand-new attire from head to toe, hiding their fatigue from lack of sleep and appearing exceptionally spirited.


"Dad, Happy New Year! May Dad achieve success in everything in the coming year!" Zhen'er, dressed in bright red new clothes, knelt straight in front of Mo Qingze. With a serious face like a little old man, he smoothly spoke auspicious words. Before his father could respond, he stood up and extended his chubby, white paw with a smile, saying, "Dad, Zhen'er is the first to bow and greet you this year. How about a big red envelope for me!"


"Alright, alright, I'll give you a big one!" Mo Qingze chuckled helplessly. He picked the largest dark red envelope from a pile on the table and handed it to him.


"Hehe, thank you, Dad!" Zhen'er joyfully caught it with his chubby paw, his eyes narrowing with a smile. Without waiting for anyone to prompt him, he quickly opened the envelope, revealing a pair of silver-made little oxen inside, coinciding with his zodiac sign, the Ox.
