I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

Chapter 304 - 304 The New Year



304 The New Year

Zhu Zhu seemed to be used to this kind of separation and did not show any signs of reluctance. Instead, she waved her hands happily, as if she was free.

Mo Ruyue did not have much interaction with the Ouyang couple. Since the first day of their conversation, they had only met briefly today before they parted.

As the carriage went further and further away, Mo Ruyue felt as if something was leaving with it. This feeling was familiar yet strange. It was the kind of reluctance that would only arise when someone important left. But why would she have such feelings for two people she had just met?

She frowned slightly. This feeling was not hers, but the memory of the original owner that remained in her body.

The remnants of that memory had been sealed away for too long, so much so that she thought it had disappeared. She did not expect it to surge up again in such a situation.

Mo Ruyue had no intention of exploring other people’s past. Since she was the one occupying this body now, then she would let her live on with her memories and way of life.

“Lady Qin, what are you thinking about? It’s rare to see you in a daze.”

Zhu Zhu poked her head out from the side and looked at Mo Ruyue with a smile.

“I’m fine. I just thought of something.”

Mo Ruyue came back to her senses and put away the memories of that day.

“Looking at the time, there are only a few days left until the new year. It looks like I’ll have to spend the new year at the Bai family this year.

Zhu Zhu sat down beside her, the excitement on her face seemed to be a little overdone, as if she was trying to hide something.

“Lady Qin, why don’t you also bring the babies into the city for the new year? There’s nothing good to eat or play in the mountains. You bring them here, and I’ll take care of them. I guarantee that they’ll have a good and comfortable new year!”

Mo Ruyue shook her head. “I already have a plan. But I still have to thank you for your kind intentions.”

“Oh, that’s fine. I still have Jiaojiao to accompany me.”

Although Zhu Zhu also agreed happily, a faint layer of gloominess surfaced in her eyes.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, there was a new year custom almost every few days. All kinds of preparations needed to be made before the festival in order to get a good luck.

Mo Ruyue had never celebrated any new year’s festival in her previous life, so she was not sensitive to these days.

However, after her rebirth, she had a few more little radishes by her side. They were all full of anticipation for the new year, the biggest festival of the year. So after the twelfth lunar month, they were extremely excited on every new year’s Day. Even Mo Ruyue was busy with it, and slowly began to take the initiative to participate in it.

The closer it was to the new year, the more such New Year days there were.

It was the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, the new year.

The babies’ private school had long been on holiday. Early in the morning, before Mo Ruyue had entered the city, the babies had already run to the kitchen and started to busy themselves.

“Mother, I’m going to send the Kitchen Lord to heaven today. Grandmother Liu said that the stove must be clean and must be served with candied melons, sugar sticks, and all kinds of pastries. Once the Kitchen Lord is satisfied, he won’t report the bad things in our family to the Jade Emperor Grandpa.”

While Si Bao was busy, he didn’t forget to tell Mo Ruyue about the customs he had heard from the Liu family.

“There’s nothing bad in our family. It’s nonsense. Even if there was, it’s old news. We’ve turned over a new leaf.”

Er Bao couldn’t bear to hear the word “bad”. Now, his family was living a happy life, which was the happiness he had never had since his father left. Today was a good day, so he didn’t want to be stained with the word “bad”.

“Second Brother is right. If Kitchen Lord wants to talk, he should talk about how Mother is good to us and how our family can live better.”

Tang Tang rearranged the plate with the candied melons and handed the incense that she had just taken out of the room to Mo Ruyue.

“Mother, you should burn some incense for Kitchen Lord. This is something that should be done by the elders.”

Mo Ruyue held the incense and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

She was originally a firm atheist, but she had already experienced rebirth, transmigration, and the evolution space. What was impossible?

“Mother, just say a few words of prayer and tell me your new year’s wish.”

Da Bao looked at his mother’s dazed expression and thought to himself, “My mother used to be very eloquent, but why doesn’t she know how to say anything now? She just gave me a few words of advice.”

“Then I hope that the Kitchen Lord will say more good things to us when he goes to heaven. I’ll be happy and happy as a family in the future. I’ll be happy as long as all of you can grow up healthy and well.”

Mo Ruyue mumbled as she lit the incense in her hand. After she bowed three times and inserted the incense into the incense burner, she turned around and found that the five babies were all standing behind her, staring at her in a daze.

“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

Mo Ruyue was also stunned for a moment. She carefully recalled what she had just said. This was the first time she had said something like a wish. She hoped that she would not say something that she should not have and end up overreaching herself.

“Mother, why don’t you say a few words about yourself? You’re talking about us?” Er Bao asked, and the other babies looked at her and nodded.

“I don’t have anything to say.”

Mo Ruyue smiled. “My greatest wish is for you guys to live well. Speaking of which, I feel that I’ve really raised you guys well.”

The more she spoke, the more she felt a sense of accomplishment. She wondered if she could add on a sentence to the Kitchen Lord, asking him to praise her for being a good mother. That was enough.

“Mother, I just told Kitchen Lord to praise you when he reports to Grandpa Jade Emperor. You are the best mother in the world!”

Tang Tang held Mo Ruyue’s hand and looked up at her seriously.

She did not act coquettishly, and every word she said came from the bottom of her heart. This was clearly written in her eyes.

“Mother will be satisfied with your praise.”

Mo Ruyue touched the top of Tang Tang’s head, and her heart suddenly softened.

She now seemed to understand why some people, even if their hearts were once as hard as iron, could eventually become soft around the fingers. Sincere feelings could indeed move people’s hearts.

Of course, not all sincerity could be exchanged for sincerity.

From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the day of the new year, every day was a good day. The next day was the 24th day of sweeping dust, the 25th day of hanging couplets, the 26th day of cutting new year meat, the 27th day of washing blessings, the 28th day of fried noodles, and the 29th day of visiting the grave to invite ancestors. The 30th day of the new year was new year’s eve.

It was a pity that Mo Ruyue still had to go to the Bai manor to treat the three “patients” these few days. So even if she wanted to participate in the daily activities as much as possible, she could only make it in time for the afternoon.

Fortunately, Madam Bai’s treatment time had been greatly reduced. She mainly relied on medicine to recuperate. Bai Shijiao’s condition was getting better and better, and the original two hours had also been reduced. In this way, Mo Ruyue could still return home just after noon.

The Bai family was grateful and guilty that Mo Ruyue could still survive such a day, so they prepared a large number of all kinds of new year’s goods, filling three carriages, and sent them to Mo Ruyue’s house on the 26th of the twelfth month.
