Liu Yiyue gave each of them 10 coins, and the children from Liu Qingshan's family happily ran off with the money.

The two children from Liu Qinghe's family were still standing there, watching their aunt.

"Lai Gui, you take your sister back first. Your aunt will be back soon."

"Auntie, we want to go back with you."

"Listen to me, go back quickly, your aunt will come looking for you when she gets back."

The brother and sister left reluctantly, turning back every few steps.

As August passed, Liu Yiyue was supported. "Big sister, how have you been feeling lately?"

"That's good. Now that the weather is warmer, we can go out and move around more."

Liu Siyue also joined in, "August, you are still young. I suggest you don't rush to have children after you get married. This is for your health. How you decide is entirely up to you."

Okay, you guys chat, I'll head back now.

"In April, the three of us sisters will take this opportunity to come to my room and have a good talk about the wedding in August."

"You guys talk, I don't have anything to talk about."

"August, come inside with me. Let's have a good talk in the room; it's cold outside."

The two sisters returned to their room. Liu Yiyue sat on the bed and asked, "August, you're getting married in about ten days. Is your wedding dress ready?"

"The Bai family sent red cloth, and my mother helped me cut my wedding dress. She said I had to sew it myself, and I'm still sewing it now. I'll continue sewing it tomorrow after today."

Eldest sister, Mother said the family's situation is not good, so she won't prepare any dowry for me and will just make me wear a wedding dress when I get married.

The Bai family gave me 5 taels of silver. If I don't have any dowry, they will definitely look down on me.

On New Year's Eve, my grandfather gave my eldest sister-in-law one tael of silver, and today he gave my third uncle's family two taels. Now my family is even less likely to give her a dowry.

"Your second sister and I both know that your mother isn't giving you a dowry. Now your grandparents are in charge of the household, and your mother isn't having an easy time either. She doesn't have the means to give you one!"

"Just relax and get married. Your second sister has already prepared your dowry, which will be sent directly to the Bai family."

"Eldest sister, is it true that second sister prepared a dowry for me?"

"Of course it's true. Your second sister has prepared 8 mu of top-quality paddy fields, 5 mu of dry land, and a lot of money for you."

With these things, you'll have confidence, and you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future.

My elder sister is not capable; she only has 700 coins allocated by the village. I'll give you 660 coins as dowry.

"Big sister, thank you and second sister."

It was getting late, and the family was starting to prepare dinner. They sat in the main room, snacking and chatting. "Mom, Uncle, were you happy today? Was it lively?"

"It's fun and lively, but we spent a lot of money. With you giving away so much money, people might think our family is incredibly wealthy!"

"This is the happiest and most joyful New Year that my mother has ever had. It's the first time she's ever had one in her life."

Mother also deeply understood the reality that even the richest people in the mountains have distant relatives.

Today you took out basket after basket of copper coins. To be honest, it pained my heart. I felt that those copper coins were more valuable than silver.

You have no idea how shocking the scene was back then. Who knows what the villagers are saying about you now?

"Let's not talk about that. Your mother and father are going back to your parents' home tomorrow. Are any of you going?"

"Mother, we just went a few days ago and we're not going again. We didn't go in April, so why don't you take her with you?"

"April, and you?"

"Then I'll go with Mother. I'll leave Yao'er at home and let my eldest sister and the others look after her. I don't want to trouble the child."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Ruyue and Ruxing quickly ran to Madam Feng's side, "Mother, we also want to go to Grandma's house to wish her a Happy New Year."

"Oh, then let's go together tomorrow."

"Mom, I won't eat dinner. I've had too many snacks today and I have no appetite. I want to take Yao'er back to the room to rest."

"Was the food too oily? I'll have the kitchen make you a clear soup."

"No, I'm really full from snacks, I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat when I'm hungry."

"Okay, if you're tired, go back and rest. Take good care of the children."

"By the way, Mother, Second Uncle, I have something to discuss with you. Going up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs is not a long-term solution for Grandma's family. Going into the mountains is still very dangerous. We need to think of a new way for them to make a living."

I've been thinking about what kind of business to find for them these days.

I finally remembered that I had seen a recipe for making tofu in a book. Although there are tofu vendors in our town, they only sell tofu. In fact, tofu can be used to make many soy products.

I'd like to give this bean product business to my maternal grandparents. What do my mother and second uncle think?

With this recipe, they'll always have food to eat, no matter when.

"Is it appropriate for you to give such an important recipe to your maternal grandparents' house in April?"

"Mom, Grandma's family has been so good to you. Our family is doing quite well now, so it's only right that we help them out. If Grandma's family is doing well, then Mom can also live a comfortable life."

"April, thank you, thank you so much. These are things that I should have done, but I have to let you share the burden. My heart is both sweet and sad."

"Mom, don't be sad. What can I do? I'm your daughter. If I weren't your daughter, I wouldn't have helped them, right?"

My maternal grandparents' family are very sensible in both their personal conduct and their actions, and they are worth my help.

I wouldn't even look at someone who's greedy, mean, and ungrateful, just like Huang's family.

"I'm not going to chat with you anymore, I'm going to rest."

Liu Siyue carried the child and left. Once inside the space, the mother and daughter comfortably lay down on the bed, looking absolutely blissful.

Listening to the familiar music, she carefully recalled her dream from last night, which felt so real, as if her mother was standing right next to her.

Although Ye Xinglan hadn't drunk much, she was indeed drunk and slept soundly until dawn. When she woke up in the morning, she had a slight headache, but Aunt Liu had already prepared a hangover soup for her. After drinking it, she felt much better.

"Chairman, breakfast is ready."

"Aunt Liu, do you believe in reincarnation?"

"Chairman, people say that you can't believe everything you hear about ghosts and spirits, but you can't believe everything you hear either."

"Yes, some things are inexplicable. It is said that the end of science is metaphysics."

Last night I had a very long dream. I dreamt that Yueyue was still alive in another world, living as someone else. She said she missed me a lot and even cooked for me herself.

"Chairman, you must miss Miss so much. This is what they call 'thinking about something during the day and dreaming about it at night.'"

"Maybe!"

"Let's go have breakfast. After breakfast, I'll go check on Yueyue. She's lying there all alone, she looks so lonely. I'll go talk to her."

The mother and daughter, though in different times and spaces, seem to be resonating with each other, entering each other's dreams to express their longing and yearning for one another.

The children who received New Year's money from Liu Siyue were overjoyed. When they met people in the village, they would boast, "Look at the New Year's money Aunt Siyue gave us. Each of us received it twice, 5 coins each. The five of us siblings received 25 coins in total!"

Do you know how Aunt April distributes money?

"I don't know, how does she distribute the money? Can you tell me?"

"Let me tell you, Aunt April carried a basket full of copper coins to give to us. Aunt April is really awesome."

In April, my aunt carried basket after basket, and gave them all to us children who came to pay New Year's visits.

Aunt April is the most generous and beautiful aunt in our Liu Family Village.

"Yes, Aunt April is very generous. My siblings and I all received 20 coins. My mother said that Aunt April will definitely find a good husband."

The children looked on with admiration and pride; Liu Siyue was their aunt.
