Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 719 Chapter 710 Eighth: New Year

There are more Nanny Song, Ye Fang, and Lu Jing. Four people are big and strong in the New Year. A big round table is full, eating the hot pot that Song Qiu said that everyone has never eaten, dipped in spicy ingredients, and peanut butter. The big guys eat I feel comfortable all over.

The servants are also eating hot pot table by table. They are always hot from the table to the next table. No matter how long they eat, they will not be cold.

The reunion dinner starts in the middle of the afternoon and lasts until nightfall.

The people below were busy cleaning up, while Song Qiu and the others sat in the hall drinking tea, kneading melon seeds and eating fruits.

A curtain was hung on the door of the hall to keep out the cold wind outside, and a charcoal basin was placed inside, so the heat was unbearable, and even wearing a small jacket did not feel cold.

Old Yuan Shi and Nanny Song sat on the arhat chair at the top, one on the left and the other on the right. With their heads down, on the left and right sides, Song Qiu and Aling sat three on each side of the six.

Looking at the group of kids below, old Yuan Shi narrowed his eyes with a smile, took out the lucky bag that he had prepared a long time ago, and beckoned everyone to come up and collect the lucky money.

Nanny Song has also been prepared for a long time. She has no descendants in her life, and she has saved a lot of money. She comes here, saying that she is recuperating the old Yuan's body, but it is also a pension, and she is paid on a monthly basis. use.

Looking at these juniors, especially Song Qiu, she regarded her as her own junior in her heart, and she had already planned in her heart that she would die of old age here, and in the future, all the things in her hands would be left to others. Song Qiu and Ah Ling are two girls.

Song Qiu took the lead, and everyone came forward one by one to wish a happy Chinese New Year. May the two elders have the present and the present every year, and the pines and cypresses will never grow old.

Then one of them received two thick New Year's bags.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was lively.

After a while, Du Chuanfu, the head housekeeper, brought the people from all over the house to kowtow to the old lady and the two girls to pay New Year's greetings.

Song Qiu asked Lan Yi to bring up the red envelopes that he had prepared long ago, and everyone had them all.

This year was the first year spent in this new house, all the lanterns were lit and would not go out all night, and Song Qiu also asked Du Chuanfu to buy a lot of fireworks and set them off in the spacious garden.

The fireworks soared into the sky, and the whole Songshan Village became lively.

The lights of all houses were on, and it was the hour of the twilight, Du Chuanfu led his people to set off firecrackers, and other families in Songshan Village also set off firecrackers one after another. The sound of the firecrackers was so loud that it seemed to burst the sky.

Another new year begins.

After eating a few glutinous rice balls, everyone went to rest except those who had to watch the lights at night.

Song Qiu slept with the old Yuan, the grandfather and grandson lay on one side, so close that they could breathe.

Old Yuan Shi had already yawned a few times, now he was lying on the bed after washing up, but he couldn't fall asleep for a while.

"Aqiu, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, grandma, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just can't sleep, and I want to talk to you."

When Song Qiu heard this, he simply wrapped himself in a quilt and sat up, took out the torch placed under his pillow and started to light it.

"Grandma, what do you want to say, I'm listening."

A beam of fire was shining between the beds, reflecting the red faces of the grandparents and grandchildren.

Seeing her granddaughter's red face, old Yuan immediately laughed, "I just want to talk, and it's fine to talk while lying down. You should lie down soon and catch a cold."

Song Qiu listened, then turned off the fire, lay down and listened to the old Yuan.

Old Yuan Shi smiled, and said: "I don't know what to say, okay, go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow, and you can't sleep late on the first day of the new year."

Seeing that her grandma would talk for a while and not talk for a while, Song Qiu also sighed, and said softly: "Grandma, do you miss my grandfather and my parents again?"

In the darkness, old Yuan's expression became nostalgic, "Think."

Don't just think about them.

She turned her head to look at the granddaughter next to her. It was too dark, and she could only see the outline of her granddaughter, but couldn't see her face clearly.

"It's okay, it's the New Year's Eve, and we eat and talk lively, so I can't help but think, always want to sigh, if they are still here, it would be great."

As she spoke, she smiled, reached out and patted her granddaughter, "Go to sleep."

Song Qiu turned around, embraced grandma's arms, and closed her eyes, "Grandma is going to sleep too."

Today, she was already tired from climbing mountains and wading to the grave to burn paper. Now she closed her eyes, calmed down, and soon fell asleep.

Hearing the slight snoring of the little granddaughter, the old Yuan sighed softly, but continued what he said just now in his heart, if they were still there, everything would be different now.

She smiled silently, stopped to pat her granddaughter, tucked the quilt up for her, and closed her eyes.

New year and new weather, early in the morning, everyone put on new clothes, including the servants, who also kept their new clothes for the first time today.

Today the gate is wide open, and in the hall, a lot of melon seeds and fruit snacks have been prepared, waiting for the children of the village to come to visit the door to pay New Year's greetings, so that they can grab and eat.

On the first day of junior high school, the village visits each other to pay New Year's greetings, and no one is stingy on this day. The melon seeds and peanuts at home are all laid out for the children to grab at will.

Of course, only unmarried children are treated like this, those adults are embarrassed.

Same as last year, Lihua and Zaohua came first with the stone eggs.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Ji's shop was closed, and the Li family all returned to the village to celebrate the New Year, and they would not return to town until the eighth day of the lunar new year.

Song Qiu waited for them to come, and then ran out with them to the village.

In August of this year, she and Lihua are going to get married, and on the first day of the new year, they can't run around the village like this.

Yes, this year is the last time.

Ah Ling took Lu Jingye to put a few, Sa Huan ran the fastest, and the first one went to Mrs. Mo's house.

There are only about [-] families in the whole village, and they run away in a while.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, they grabbed the melon seeds and were about to leave, but Mr. Tang stopped them, smiled and gave each of them a lucky red envelope, waved for the others to go first, and left Song Qiu to talk.

Song Qiu sat down on the stool, looked at Mr. Tang, and listened to what he had to say.

Mr. Tang said: "The village school in our village has been running for more than half a year, and it uses only one room in the village temple. There are about twenty children. Your Uncle Mingde personally brought and taught them, and there are no books or anything. I thought, I just want to teach them how to read first, see if there are some who have learned well, and then make plans, not to mention, there are really many good seedlings who are good at reading.

You, Uncle Mingde, discussed it with me. After all, he doesn’t have enough knowledge, he can still be enlightened, no matter how much he has, he won’t be able to teach.”

"Grandpa thought, since there are good seedlings, it's not enough to just learn to read without writing. After all, the village temple is a little narrower. I want to set up a village school in a serious way, so that all the children can learn together. It would be even better if they could have a table to sit on, be able to read and write, and invite a nice gentleman to come back and teach them."

As soon as Song Qiu heard it, he understood what the grandfather was looking for her.

Immediately said: "Grandfather, I have already said that, if you need my help in the future, just ask me."
