October and November passed quietly. In a blink of an eye, Laba Festival was coming, and the city was filled with the fragrance of Laba porridge.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestor in the morning, Yan Huo took her to the kitchen in the yard to pickle Laba garlic in the kitchen. Yaya has many questions, "Mom, why do you want to pickle Laba garlic on Laba Festival? Why don't you pickle on the seventh day of the day and the nineth day of the day?"

"Because major businesses and households usually calculate the accounts of the year on Laba on the day of Laba, and the homophones of garlic are gradually becoming such a custom. And when it comes to the twelfth lunar month, Laba Festival is the first one." Yan Huo briefly explained.

Yaya asked again: "Mom, why do you have to use purple-skinned garlic to pickle Laba garlic?"

"Because of purple-skinned garlic, the marinated Laba garlic is green, and the garlic cloves are all translucent and crispy when chewed, so delicious." Yan Huo replied.

Yaya swallowed, "Mom, how many days will it take to marinate it before you can eat it?"

"It will take about twenty days." Yan Huo smiled.

"It's going to be so long!" Yaya pouted.

"You don't have to worry about having a good meal late. You have to be patient to eat good food. If you are anxious, you won't be able to eat hot tofu." Yan Huo pinched her pouting mouth.

"Okay, I will wait patiently." Yaya came to Jae Cheol, "Auntie Jae Cheol, what is this?"

"This is rice vinegar. You cannot use aged vinegar for pickling Laba garlic. You must use vinegar made from new rice harvested this autumn." Zi Xie smiled.

"It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to pickling a Laba garlic." Yaya sighed.

"All attention is knowledge, and understanding of human nature is article." Yan Huo said with a smile.

"Mr. I said that there must be my teacher when I walk together." Yaya grinned.

"Yes." Yan Huo smiled and rubbed her bag head.

Talked and laughed, the washed garlic cloves were already dry, Yaya asked, "What should I do now?"

"Now put the garlic cloves into the small jar of pickled vegetables. First, put a layer of sugar in the small jar, then put the garlic cloves one by one, then pour the rice vinegar in, and then leave the garlic cloves." Shepherd's slaptopram as she said, finally covered the lid and added cool boiling water to the lid.

After making a jar, Shepherd's Maiden led the little maid to continue. At this time, a maid ran in, "Madam, the second young master is back."

"My second brother is back, I must have brought me a lot of delicious food." Yaya cheered and ran out in front of Yanhu.

Yan Hu was going to follow him, and the maid said again: "The second young master also brought back a little girl."

"Bring back a little girl?" Yan Huo frowned. Isn't this boy Yue'er so young to find "true love"?

Yan Huo walked out in panic. When he reached the gate of the yard, he saw Yue'er leading a young girl of eight or nine years old towards this side. His eyes flashed slightly, he stopped and stood on the steps. Yaya jumped to Yue'er, "Second brother, do you miss me?"

"Yes, I can miss you," Yue'er immediately said loudly. As if the louder he said, it seemed as if it could prove that he missed her more.

"Second brother, who is she?" Yaya pointed at the little girl standing behind Yue'er and looked at her with a timid look.

"Her name is Dandan, I saved it on the way." Yue'er smiled, "Dandan, this is my sister, just call her Yaya."

Dandan did not call for someone, she shrank behind Yue'er, looking timid and afraid of others.

Yaya widened her eyes, "Are you learning to be a knight again?"

"People who practice martial arts should be chivalrous and righteous. This is what the book says." Yue'er straightened her chest and looked majestic.

"Let your dad know that you read those messy books again, and you will definitely beat you up." Yaya waved her fist to scare her brother.

"I haven't read it for a long time. I have read it before. Now I only read military books." Yue'er quickly defended.

Yaya curled her lips, "I don't believe it."

"Yaya, what did you do before? Why did you feel sour smell on your body?" Yue'er distracted Yaya's attention.

"I just picked Laba garlic with my mother, and I can eat it during the Chinese New Year." Yaya said with a smile.

Yue'er saw Yan Huo standing at the gate of the yard and shouted: "Mom, your baby son is back!"

Yan Huo's lips raised slightly, but he said on his mouth: "It's the naughty son who is back."

Yue'er walked over with Dandan who almost stuck to him and made his pendant, "Mom, this is Dandan, Dandan is my mother, my mother is beautiful, don't be afraid."

Dandan poked a head out from behind Yue'er, glanced at Yan Huo, and shrank back.

"Get into the house." Yan Huo glanced at Yue'er lightly, turned around and walked into the yard.

"Second brother, you bring back a troublesome spirit, just wait for your mother to scold me." Yaya made a face at Yue'er and rushed in before them.

Yue'er pulled Dandan out from behind, "Dandan, don't be afraid, this is my family, no one will hurt you. My family is very good. After a while, what my mother wants to ask you, you can answer truthfully. Don't be afraid, my mother is fine."

"Brother Yue, what if your mother drives me away?" Dandan asked pitifully with tears in her eyes.

Yue'er scratched her head, "Don't cry, don't worry, my mother won't drive you away, my mother is kind-hearted."

"Brother Yue, can I live with you?" Dandan asked.

"No, I have told you many times. There is a difference between men and women. If you stick to me like this, it will damage your reputation." Yue'er advised again.

"Brother Yue, don't ignore me, I will be obedient." Dandan said, and tears fell down.

Yue'er sighed, "I don't care about you. I've brought you to my house. How do you want me to care about you? My mother will arrange someone to take care of you."

"Your mother doesn't look like me very much, and she doesn't even laugh." Dandan said aggrievedly, pouting.

Yue'er asked back, "You don't say hello to my mother, why should my mother smile at you?"

"I'm scared." Dandan lowered her head and twisted her clothes with her hands.

Yue'er was unhappy, "My mother is not a bad person, what's there to be afraid of?"

Dandan wants to say something else, a maid came over, "Second Young Master, Madam is waiting for you in the warm room. Go in quickly, don't make Madam angry."

Yue'er dragged Dandan into the warm pavilion, Yan Huo sat upright on the big kang by the window, Yaya sat honestly on the chair below, Yue'er came in, and she stood up.

"Mom." Yue'er shouted.

"Sit down." Yan Huo said lightly.

Yue'er sat down, Dandan sat obliquely on the chair beside Yue'er, occupying Yaya's position, and Yaya pouted.

"Yaya, go to your great-grandmother's place." Yan Huo drove Yaya away again.

"Mom." Yaya didn't want to leave.

"Assuming." Yan Huo's face slightly darkened.

Yaya didn't dare to make Yan Hu angry. Seeing this, she saluted, "Mom, I'm going to my great-grandmother's place."
