Chapter 1439 New Year’s Eve

Qing Wen shook his head: "If there really is that kind of fortune, and I go out to see my uncle, he’ll use me to get the inheritance and definitely won’t let me go afterward. So I might as well not meet him. Besides, if they need me to get that fortune, what am I rushing out to see him for?"

Mengyu understood: this Qing Wen isn’t stupid. Fine, if he doesn’t recognize him, then he doesn’t. This Qin Chaowen is so desperate to find his nephew, it’s obvious he needs the nephew’s bloodline to claim that property. If they send some fake nephew back, he probably won’t be able to get it, and it’ll naturally be exposed then.

Mengyu took Qing Wen back to Yang’an Small Courtyard.

Qingshan saw Qing Wen looking a bit dejected and was puzzled: "What’s wrong? Weren’t you going to see your father? Didn’t you see him, or did your father refuse to see you?"

Qing Wen rolled his eyes: whether I didn’t see him or he refused to see me, isn’t the result the same?

But he had actually seen the other party; the other party hadn’t seen him, and that person wasn’t his father, but his uncle.

Qing Wen raised both hands: "Leave me alone, I’m annoyed. I want Cultivation, I want to get strong, I want to grow tall tall!"

Today, after seeing that five-year-old boy, Qing Wen was defeated by the boy’s height. He was also five years old now, though not quite full. But his height wasn’t even as tall as a three-year-old boy!

Under everyone’s surprised gazes, Qing Wen just slipped back into his room to Cultivate.

Hearing Qing Wen say "I want to grow tall tall," Mengyu couldn’t help but laugh. Qing Wen used to be severely malnourished, so of course he couldn’t grow tall. As long as he eats more good food from now on, he’ll definitely grow.

Mengyu said to Xiao Tao: "You’re in charge of tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve dinner. I’ll have everyone cooperate with you then."

Xiao Tao asked, "What about the ingredients? Am I getting those too? Then can I exchange for a ring to load things in?"

Seeing how excited she was, Mengyu answered "Okay," and Xiao Tao happily went out.

The next day was New Year’s Eve. Mengyu handed ten thousand yuan to Le Yin: "Take Le Shan and Le Shui with you to buy some New Year goods, and also decorate our courtyard a bit. It’s about time we have a proper, lively New Year!"

The Hidden Guards were basically all orphans. If they hadn’t acknowledged a master, they’d naturally spend New Year together at the Dark Guard Camp. If they had, then they’d spend it with their master.

Of course, that only applied to those without families. Le De was married and had his own family, so he naturally spent it with them.

Le Yin was speechless: "Eldest Lady, buying some New Year goods doesn’t need this much money."

Fortunately, he had the Hundred Treasure Bag the Eldest Lady gave him. Otherwise, walking around the streets with so much cash would make him an obvious target for thieves.

Mengyu said: "Use the rest to buy a hundred envelopes. We’ll also give everyone envelopes. And I’ve already bought the fruit, so don’t buy more. As for alcohol, get some Moutai, we don’t need anything else.

Also, buy more candy and nuts and such, to prepare for the neighbor kids coming over to pay New Year greetings. And those little envelopes that are one yuan each, prepare a lot of those too."

The fruit wines in their Space had been brewed in large batches. Xiao Tao had also brewed quite a bit of wine using Spirit Rice from the Space and even soaked a lot of Peach Blossom Wine.

For their own drinking, of course they drank Space Wine, but if guests came over, Moutai looked better.

Le Yin agreed, took the money, and drove off in the van.

Mengyu then took out a few hundred jin of Spirit Rice, Spiritual Flour, Spirit Fruit, nuts and such produced in the Space and put them in the storeroom to use during the New Year. Of course, she laid down a restriction on this storeroom to prevent Spiritual Energy from leaking.

With Le Yin and the others out buying New Year goods, Qingshan, Qing Wen, and Xiao Tao were left in charge of the big cleaning. Xiao Tao and Qingshan whipped up a gust with a few Wind Techniques, and the whole courtyard and every room became spotless.
