Cashback system brings real riches

On New Year's Eve, Lin Manqing got up very early and went downstairs before Pei Zheng woke up.

This was the first New Year she spent with Pei Zheng at Pei's house.

When the Pei family is thirty, there is almost no need for them to do anything. The servants at home will take care of everything. Lin Manqing and the others only need to sit and wait for the meal to be served.

She was warmly welcomed by everyone at Pei's house during the New Year, and no one asked her to get up early in the morning. They just let her treat her as her own home and do as she pleased.

"Manman, wake up, why are you up so early?"

Grandma Pei was sitting on the sofa discussing tonight's dishes with Ji Shu. Before Lin Manqing came downstairs, Grandma Pei looked up and saw her across the way.

Ji Shu followed Grandma Pei's gaze and found out it was Lin Manqing, so he and Grandma Pei spoke at the same time.

As soon as they spoke in unison, the two looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

"Good morning grandma, good morning aunt."

Lin Manqing didn't expect them to sit on the sofa. Although she was a little surprised, she didn't want to do anything. After she walked up to them and said hello, Ji Shu pulled her to sit next to her.

Lin Manqing sat down and her hand was held by Ji Shu. Lin Manqing's body was a bit cold. Although she wore a lot of clothes, her hands were always not warm in winter.

Ji Shu was shocked by the cold as soon as he held her hand, and then he warmed her hand while talking about her.

"You kid, it's winter now. It's already cold in the morning, but you're still wearing so little. Your hands are frozen like this."

Grandma Pei next to her looked at Lin Manqing and agreed with Ji Shu's statement.

"Your aunt is right. You children, there is nothing wrong with caring about beauty and ugliness, but you should also take care of your own body."

Lin Manqing knew they didn't have any bad intentions, so she held Ji Shu's hand and acted coquettishly to them.

"I know my grandma and aunt are feeling sorry for me, but I am like this in the winter. I will take care of myself."

"You."

Ji Shu looked at Lin Manqing's coquettish appearance and gently tapped the tip of her nose with a seemingly pampering tone.

"Ouch."

Lin Manqing followed her strength and was about to fall backwards, and she let out an ouch.

Although there was no danger behind her, Ji Shu still quickly stopped her, laughing and cursing.

"You kid, why did I use so much strength?"

"Auntie is not very strong, so I just want to play with her."

Lin Manqing also smiled back at Ji Shu. Ji Shu pretended that he couldn't deal with her and turned around to complain to Grandma Pei.

"Mom, look at her."

Grandma Pei didn't see them go inside, but just looked at them with a smile.

There is nothing wrong with Lin Manqing being her future granddaughter-in-law, and there is nothing wrong with Ji Shu being her daughter-in-law, but there is no need to make one party suffer for the other. They will solve their own affairs.

Sure enough, seeing that Grandma Pei was not fooled, Ji Shu and Lin Manqing looked at each other and smiled, and then started talking about other topics.

Except for Pei Zheng and his two brothers, all the men in the Pei family were already up, while Pei Shuxian and Grandpa Pei were playing chess outside.

In the three years since her parents passed away, Lin Manqing spent the New Year in her hometown without any special arrangements.

When you get up in the morning, you cook according to the rules and worship the ancestors, then prepare lunch, worship the ancestors again, and then the day passes.

She didn't have the New Year's Eve dinner or vigil. The New Year's Eve dinner was a supper she had when she was hungry at night. As for staying up late, it was even easier. The lights downstairs were on until dawn, and she was fast asleep upstairs.

It's been a long time since she enjoyed the New Year, so she's looking forward to the New Year today.

When Ji Shu and Grandma Pei were chatting, she listened silently, and when they talked about something funny, she also laughed along with them.

Seeing that the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were getting along so well, the servant at home took the fruit plate and filled it with a plate of oranges and placed it in front of them.

After Ji Shu thanked her, he took the fruit plate and placed it in front of Grandma Pei. He watched her take a few, then grabbed a handful and handed them to Lin Manqing's hand.

Before Lin Manqing had eaten a few, her aunt at home asked them to have breakfast. Lin Manqing looked at them regretfully, so she had to put them on the coffee table and get up to have breakfast.

Lin Manqing had heard him say before that the Pei family's education for the two brothers was that they should study hard, and it was relatively easy at other times.

Before they turned eighteen, they would get up and have breakfast at the prescribed time every morning, but after they turned eighteen, they could come anytime and make their own arrangements.

So Pei Zheng and Pei Ze did not participate in today's breakfast. Lin Manqing listened to their arrangements for the five people's breakfast, and tasted the pancakes Ji Shu gave her from time to time.

Breakfast was quickly finished, and she followed Ji Shu and the others to sit on the sofa and enjoy it. At ten o'clock, Pei Zheng finally went downstairs behind Pei Ze.

As soon as he got downstairs, he sat down next to Lin Manqing, and then began to be fed by Lin Manqing, not the prepared breakfast, but the oranges on the coffee table.

After Ji Shu glanced at him, he rushed him to have breakfast.

After Pei Zheng and Pei Ze finished breakfast, he did not go to Pei Shuxian and the others with his brother. Instead, he sat next to Lin Manqing, restlessly holding her hand.

As time passed, Lin Manqing's hands began to feel hot.

During lunch, the Pei family and Lin Manqing's hometown have similar customs. They both worship their ancestors first, then set off a bunch of firecrackers before starting to eat.

There is no rule against women entering the Pei family's ancestral hall. Grandpa Pei and Grandma Pei are in the first row, Ji Shu and Pei Shuxian are in the second row, and Lin Manqing, Pei Zheng, and Pei Ze are in the last row.

Each of them held three sticks of incense, bowed three times under the leadership of Grandpa Pei and Grandma Pei, and then stepped forward one by one to insert them.

After placing the incense, he stood back and waited for Grandpa Pei to invite the ancestors to dinner before leaving.

Pei Ze set off the firecrackers. Pei Zheng was worried that Lin Manqing would be scared, so he pulled her away early.

The Imperial Capital had previously issued a document prohibiting the setting off of fireworks, but the Pei family set them off at home, so no one would take care of them, and they didn't have to worry about anyone taking care of them.

While eating, Ji Shu pulled Lin Manqing to sit next to him, and Pei Zheng took the lead and sat down on the other side of her.

The dishes at home were prepared by the servants, and they were very rich. Many of them were Lin Manqing's favorites, and they were all placed in front of her.

This meal is the last meal of the year prepared by the servants at home. After the Pei family has finished eating, they have also eaten the meal, and they will have their holiday after packing everything up.

For those who live in the imperial capital or want to go home, the Pei family has prepared New Year gifts for them. If they don't want to go home, they can continue to stay at the Pei family, but there is no need to do anything like going to work.
