Chapter 366: The Fang and Li families, as well as my own family, also put out New Year oranges
Fang Yiai hummed a tuneless little song and pulled the cart loaded with New Year's oranges into the Fang Mansion with great effort.
At this time, Fang Xuanling had just returned from a court meeting and was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. When he saw his son's appearance, he couldn't help but put down his teacup and cast a puzzled look at him.
"Yiai, where did you get this pot of green plants?" Fang Xuanling stood up and slowly walked towards Nian Ju.
Fang Yiai wiped the sweat off his face and grinned, "Dad, these are New Year's oranges! Today, Cheng Chumo and I went to the Yuyu family's house and saw these oranges. We brought them back to add to the festive atmosphere of the New Year."
Fang Xuanling paced around the New Year oranges, carefully examining the golden fruits and emerald green leaves. He nodded slightly, "Well, it does look festive, but what's the meaning behind it?"
Fang Yiai quickly introduced: "Dad, this New Year's orange has a great meaning. It symbolizes good luck and prosperity. If you put it at home, our whole family will have smooth sailing in the coming year!"
Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "I see. Then let's put it in a prominent place in the main hall so that the whole family can share in the joy."
Fang Yiai responded and, along with several servants, carefully carried the oranges into the main hall. After placing them, Fang Xuanling asked, "Have you learned how to care for these oranges?"
Fang Yiai patted his chest and said, "Dad, don't worry! I've asked Yuyu's family about this. Just water it on time and don't let it get cold. I'm sure I can take good care of it."
Fang Xuanling nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then it's up to you."
Fang Yiai's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Dad, they have a tavern. The food and drinks there are really delicious, and they know a lot of interesting things, especially the legend about the Nian orange. It's really interesting."
Fang Xuanling sat down with great interest: "Oh? Tell me about it, so that I can also relieve my boredom."
So Fang Yiai vividly recounted the story he had heard at Yu Yu's family. Fang Xuanling listened with great interest and laughed heartily from time to time. The main hall was filled with laughter, and the fragrance of oranges made the entire Fang Mansion filled with a strong New Year atmosphere.
Li Deyu pulled the cart and carefully transported the New Year oranges into the Li Mansion.
At this time, the elders in the family were gathered in the main room discussing trivial matters related to the New Year. When they heard the noise outside, they all came out to check.
"Deyu, what rare item did you bring back?" asked an elder.
Li Deyu smiled and replied, "Uncles, these are New Year's oranges! Today, Cheng Chumo and I went to the Yuyu family's house. When we saw these oranges, we felt they were particularly festive, so we thought of bringing some back to add some New Year's atmosphere to our family."
Everyone gathered around, looking at the New Year oranges curiously. An elder reached out and touched an orange, saying, "This thing does look fresh, but I don't know what the special thing is."
Li Deyu quickly explained: "This year's orange symbolizes good luck and great fortune. If you put it in your home, you will definitely have good luck in the new year."
The elders nodded one after another, and one of them said, "In that case, let's put it in the middle of the main hall so that relatives and friends who come to pay New Year's greetings can see this joy."
Li Deyu and his servants carried the New Year's oranges into the main hall and placed them in a safe place. Then, an elder asked with concern, "Deyu, are there any special requirements for caring for these oranges?"
Li Deyu said seriously: "I asked the Yuyu family, as long as we water it on time and keep it warm, we can keep it alive and well."
The elders smiled with satisfaction. At this time, another elder asked, "Besides the New Year's oranges, what else is special about the Yuyu family?"
Li Deyu enthusiastically talked about the interesting stories of Yu Yu's tavern and the legend about Nian oranges.
The elders listened attentively and laughed from time to time. The presence of New Year oranges made the Li family's New Year atmosphere even more intense, and the family was immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
On Yu Yu's side, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she looked at the backs of Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao and the others pulling Nian Ju away.
After a bustling day, the house suddenly became quiet, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"Finally everyone has left." Yu Yu stretched and moved his sore shoulders.
Thinking back on everyone's curiosity and love for the New Year's oranges today, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
"It seems that the oranges are quite popular this year. We should prepare more next year."
Suddenly, Yu Yu's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something important.
"I almost forgot about this!" She walked quickly into the house and silently recited the instructions to open the system space in her mind.
In an instant, a light flashed before her eyes, and a space full of fantasy appeared in front of her, filled with all kinds of rare treasures, rare ingredients, and those pots of oranges that she had been reluctant to take out.
Yu Yu carefully selected in the space and finally chose two pots of the fullest and greenest oranges.
She raised her hands lightly, and two pots of oranges fell steadily to the ground.
Yu Yu laboriously moved the pots of oranges to the door, looking left and right, and adjusting their positions.
"Well, move this basin a little to the left, perfect!"
After arranging the New Year oranges, Yu Yu stood at the door, admiring his "masterpiece".
Two pots of lush oranges, with golden oranges hanging on the branches, sparkling with an attractive luster in the afterglow of the setting sun, adding a different kind of vitality and joy to this slightly quaint house.
"Now it looks like the New Year." Yu Yu smiled with satisfaction, a happy smile on her face.
She imagined that tomorrow morning, the first ray of sunlight would shine on the oranges, and the whole house would be enveloped in this festive atmosphere. She felt so happy.
Yu Yu was immersed in this warm imagination, with a big smile on her face.
Xiaoyu walked out of the house and immediately saw the neatly arranged New Year's oranges at the door. She paused and said with a hint of surprise, "Wow, this is so beautiful! I almost forgot that we should also have a couple of pots of New Year's oranges at home to make it look presentable."
Yuyu turned around, looked at Xiaoyu with a smile, and said, "Mom, I just got two pots of oranges from the system space and put them out. Look, these oranges are bright yellow, and the leaves are lush green. Putting them at the door, the New Year atmosphere is instantly there."
Xiaoyu approached the New Year's oranges and gently stroked the plump fruits, her eyes full of admiration. "That's right, it makes me feel festive just looking at it. This New Year, we should have something new like this."
She raised her head and her eyes fell gently on Yuyu's face, "Thanks to you, girl, for decorating the house so well for the New Year."
Yuyu took Xiaoyu's arm and said affectionately, "Mom, it's Chinese New Year now, so of course we have to have a lively time. When the time comes, we can decorate the house here, hang up red lanterns, and put up Spring Festival couplets. It will definitely look great."
Xiaoyu smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll do as you say. By the way, do you remember when we were on Blue Star, during the New Year as children, even though we didn't have those oranges, we still did everything we could to make our house lively and festive?"
Yuyu's eyes sparkled as she recalled her childhood: "I remember, I remember, you would make all kinds of delicious food and take me to cut paper-cuts. Although our lives were simple, we were very happy."
The two smiled at each other, and warm memories of the past came flooding back to their hearts.
After a moment, Xiaoyu patted Yuyu's hand and said, "Life is getting better and better, and there are more and more ways to celebrate the New Year. However, no matter how things change, the most important thing is that the family is together and happy."
Yuyu nodded vigorously: "Mom, you are right. With these New Year oranges this year, it will definitely be more lively and happier."
The mother and daughter stood at the door, looking at the two pots of oranges, imagining the lively scenes of the New Year. Laughter and joy echoed in the yard, and the flavor of the New Year became stronger.
