Chapter 272: 099: Avery happy New Year, a mysteriously strong and foolish boss_2
Ni Yang first hired the strong workers in their village for jobs and then bought aloe vera from the villagers, helping everyone to earn a little extra. This enabled everyone to have a prosperous new year.
Otherwise, this winter would have been another tough year.
Ni Yang is considered the lucky charm of Jinghua Village, and this statement is not an exaggeration.
Two jin of braised pork head meat satisfied everyone’s appetite.
Today is New Year’s Eve. At around seven in the early morning, Ni Yang was woken up by the crackling sound of firecrackers.
Upon waking up, Ni Yang didn’t immediately get out of bed but lazed around for a while until a little past eight when she finally got dressed.
After freshening up and having her meal, Ni Yang went out to clear the accumulated snow in the yard.
As soon as she had finished sweeping the snow, she saw Goudan leading a group of kids their way. Everyone carried something in their hands. “Sister Ni Yang, Auntie Flower, my mom asked me to bring you these steamed buns, some fried cake, and eggs.”
Steamed buns are also known as “momo”.
The fried cake is made from grinding yellow rice into flour, wrapping red bean stuffing inside, and frying until crispy. It is soft inside, and ooze filling when bitten, offering a delightful taste.
It’s a custom in Beijing to eat steamed buns and fried cakes for the New Year.
Steamed buns are made into various pleasing shapes to offer to relatives and friends when visiting their homes during this season.

Ni Yang didn’t decline everyone’s goodwill and accepted the gifts with a smile. She then reciprocated by placing some slices of bread, fruit candies, and other return gifts in the children’s baskets.
The children all said thank you very politely.
Putting up couplets and cutting paper decorations during the New Year is an indispensable part of the celebration.
Ni Cuihua brought red paper and scissors, busying herself with cutting paper decorations.
Ni Yang’s eyes were filled with smiles. How many years has it been since she had last experienced such a scene?
In her previous life, she became the head of Ning Corporation and lived a lonely life. The festivals were the loneliest moments for her, where she could only view others celebrating their family reunions from a distance.
Such warm moments like now were not something she dared yearn for.
The present moment…
