Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant Chapter 577: Celebrating the New Year Together

Yunyi found some ink and brush in the space, and Huo Jingrui made a trip to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy red paper.

In the clinic on the afternoon of the thirtieth, only those on duty were left, and those who could return home for the New Year had done so.

Even Wu Bingjie, who was seriously injured, pleted the paperwork and returned to Zhang Family Village.

Probably due to Zhang Wenjuan’s unreasonable behavior, he also felt too embarrassed to stay in the clinic any longer.

Yunyi returned to the courtyard and, together with Huo Jingrui, wrote couplets, then laughed and chatted as they pasted them up with glue.

Huo Jingrui said softly, "Things have gotten a lot better in recent years. In the early years, people didn’t even dare to put up couplets during the New Year for fear of someone ing to cause trouble."

Yunyi looked at the newly pasted couplets, "Once the red couplets are up, it finally feels like the New Year."

As they were talking, Ye Wenhui and Zheng Xuewen came over, followed by Qiao Wenyu and Wei Zijia, each carrying some ingredients. "Yunyi, we’re here to crash your New Year’s Eve dinner," they said.

Yunyi looked at them with a smile, "Wow, you guys really went all out. Where did you get all this?"

Ye Wenhui leaned closer to Yunyi, "They went to the black market yesterday."

Yunyi had already suspected this, and now it was confirmed.

With more people, the power is stronger. They divided the work and quickly prepared the dishes.

Ye Wenhui gave up her spot by the stove, "Sister, I’ll leave the cooking to you. My skills aren’t up to par, and I can’t ruin these good ingredients."

Yunyi didn’t play coy and reached out to take the spatula.

However, Huo Jingrui took it first, "You sit down and rest. I’ll handle the cooking today."

Qiao Wenyu looked skeptical, "Big Brother Huo, are you sure you can do it?"

As soon as he said this, Qiao Wenyu felt a cold glare shoot over, making him shiver. He quickly tried to explain, "No, Big Brother Huo, I’m not doubting you, I’m just..."

The more he explained, the more he felt like he couldn’t make himself clear.

Yunyi burst out laughing, "Alright, hurry up."

Seeing Huo Jingrui working with confidence, Yunyi found an excuse to go out for a bit.

She briskly walked towards the direction of Songling Village, and as soon as she entered the mountains, she used Qinggong. In less than half an hour, she was standing in front of the shed in Nanbai Village, "Master, Zining."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Zining opened the door, "Master Aunt, e in quickly."

Then he poked his little head out to check around and, confirming no one was outside, closed the door.

Yunyi was a bit curious, "Did anyone e by?"

Yuan Yuxun nodded, "That educated youth surnamed Zhong from Songling Village came by."

He pointed to the corner at a pile of buns, "For some reason, he insisted on giving us these buns. We refused several times, but it was like he couldn’t understand human words. He just left them and walked away."

Yunyi went over to check them, "These buns are not a problem. He probably wants to get closer to you."

Yuan Yuxun said, "We don’t want to accept unearned gifts. These are precious things; we can’t accept them. I’ll return them later."

Yunyi nodded slightly, "It’s wise to be cautious. It’s best not to have any interactions. Zhong Liyuan is quite problematic."

While speaking, she took out the food she had prepared. These items were ready in her space in advance: three main dishes, steamed buns, flower rolls, sugar triangles, and also frozen lamb and pork dumplings.

After taking everything out, she said, "Master, find something to hold the dumplings outside. It’s enough for two or three meals. After midnight, cook some to eat before resting. I’ll head off now."
