The Little Year's celebration was much livelier than usual, and according to the Da Ning Dynasty's customs, one must eat dumplings for the Little Year.
Throughout Er Gui Village, not only the third branch was preparing delicious foods, but even the Old Mu Family had changed their usual stinginess and started making dumplings.
Old Mrs. Mu gave money to Mu Danian early in the morning, and sent him to the town to buy meat for making dumplings.
So right after lunch, when Huang Bitao and Mrs. Liu from the fourth branch finished tidying up the kitchen, they began to busy themselves. The sound of chopping vegetables echoed far away.
Having been married into the Old Mu Family for several days, Huang Bitao hadn't yet shared any words of intimacy with this fourth aunt, their interactions mostly limited to simple greetings.
While waiting for the dough to rest, Huang Bitao wanted to sneak a peek at the third branch, but she was afraid Mrs. Liu would scold her.
