Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 271 Losing temper

Xu Qingmeng watched the old man from the side and knew that he wanted to beat up her uncle. She couldn't help but laugh. Was this really the head of the Pei family?
He's actually willing to beat his own son just for a bite to eat.

After everyone finished eating, Zhang Hanzhe and Prefect Kang were not in a hurry to leave. Perhaps because it was the New Year, the three bigwigs of the prefecture were more relaxed and had more time to talk.

After the food was cleared away, the group of people—Grandpa Pei, Mr. Shen, and Gu Yunyi—chatted in the front hall.

Xu Qingmeng first went inside to check on the two little ones. Perhaps knowing it was Lunar New Year's Eve, the two little ones were still quite energetic.

At that moment, Madam He and Old Madam Pei were busy playing with the two little ones, leaving her no room to interfere.

Xu Qing dreamed that the child didn't need her to take care of him, so she couldn't wait to go out for a walk.

This is her first New Year since she came into this world. I heard that the streets will be much more lively today. Although it may not be as lively as the fireworks of the Lantern Festival, there are still many people who have eaten and come out to digest their food because they have to stay up late to welcome the New Year.

During this time, several children were also setting off small fireworks and firecrackers, making a loud crackling sound.

The noise, the sounds of children playing, and the presence of a large group of people chatting in the distance made it as lively as during the day.

The only difference was that there was a smell of firecrackers in the air.

Xu Qingmeng and Xinting went outside for a walk and chatted with a few aunties they knew for a while. Then they saw Huiniang also bringing Xiaoyuanbao out. The three of them chatted by the roadside for a while and even mentioned Zhou Yuanjia.

Xu Xinting was still a little shy, but only for a moment. After all, everyone was familiar with each other, but she was still a little shy on the bustling street.

Before long, Yun Sheng and Yun Mo were seen following several children from Xiao Li's family. Besides the ones they knew, there was also a group of children whose parents they didn't recognize. They were being led into the Gu family's courtyard.

Even from a distance, you could hear Yun Sheng boasting, bragging about the firecrackers and fireworks Pei Cheng had gotten for them.

The city had a fair amount of fireworks and firecrackers, but not nearly as many as Pei Cheng had brought. The Li family's children were older and more robust, but they had never seen so many varieties before.

Children have a natural love for fireworks and firecrackers; their eyes light up when they see them.

What's more, there are some new children who have joined, and Yun Sheng feels very proud in front of her friends.

The adults also actively integrate into life in the prefectural city, and the children are naturally the same. It is precisely because there are fun things to do that they can better integrate into the lives of other children.

Half an hour later, the children were called back by their parents. Xu Qingmeng and Xinting also went back. Then they saw Yun Sheng looking unhappy with a droopy face. Although Yun Mo didn't show it on his face, you could still tell from his eyes that he was also unhappy.

Xu Qingmeng walked in and ruffled Yun Sheng's hair. "What's wrong? Why are you unhappy during the New Year? Children should share things together, right? Your uncle bought so many firecrackers. Are you and Yunmo going to play with them too?"

Xu Qingmeng heard it from the front; the child was chattering away, inviting them to play with firecrackers together!
“No, that’s not true!” Yun Sheng immediately retorted.

"What are you doing? It's the New Year, and you're just trying to make things difficult for me. Do you really think that because there are so many people who spoil you, I can't teach you a lesson?" Madam He was already impatient and wouldn't tolerate them at all.

When Yun Sheng saw that her mother was about to lose her temper, she was clearly frightened and dared not utter a sound.

Yunmo was actually quite nervous, but she still said with a wronged expression, "Mother, why do they all get New Year's money..."

Xu Qingmeng and Madam Pei were both taken aback, and even Madam He realized what was happening, "That's right, look at my memory..."

"No..."

All the children received New Year's money. In front of the two of them, it was said that in previous years when there were fewer people in the family, they received their money right after eating. But now that there are more people in the family, there are more people giving New Year's money, but the two of them have nothing.

That's why it's uncomfortable!

Madam Pei beckoned to Yun Sheng, who walked towards her with a wronged expression: "Grandmother..."

"Oh, it's your grandmother and mother's fault. Don't blame Yun Sheng. It's the New Year, and your mother was just worried that something might happen to you. She didn't mean to scold you."

Looking at her little face, Mrs. He couldn't help but pinch it. It was soft and bouncy like dough, which felt very comfortable.

"That's right, Mom just forgot, right? You could have just reminded her. She had such a long face during the New Year, I thought something had happened!"

Yun Sheng angrily slapped He Shi's hand away. Was this her fault? She wanted to ask for it, but she was always being scolded. Finally, there were more people in the family who were spoiled, and they had become a bit more unruly these past few days. How could she dare to take the initiative?
Madam He knew it was indeed her mistake, but she wasn't angry. Looking at her daughter's chubby little face, she pinched it again. "Hongfeng, I prepared it a long time ago, but I was busy and forgot. Wait, I promise I'll make you two a big one."

As soon as Madam He said this, Yun Sheng and Yun Mo immediately beamed with joy. Who cared if the red envelopes were late or not? Besides, they had already given red envelopes to their mother, sister-in-law, maternal grandfather, and uncle. So, they had all come.

However, given He's behavior, the two felt it was more reliable to follow her, so they eagerly followed, intending to get He's first before asking for the others'.

In fact, Xu Qingmeng and Madam Pei had both forgotten that Xu Qingmeng was simply herself in the past and had no awareness of this.

Madam Pei was so excited to find her daughter that she completely forgot about the whole thing. Now, it was really awkward for her to meet her grandson, granddaughter, and granddaughter-in-law for the first time.

There are red envelopes in Xu Qingmeng's room. The two children are quite young, so she can't give them too much, but giving them a few copper coins is fine.

Xu Qing thought for a moment and then stuffed thirty copper coins into it. After all, Madam He had just said that she wanted to give a big red envelope, and this amount should be about the same as the amount Madam He would give.

When Xu Qingmeng returned, she saw that Madam He had already finished distributing the gifts, and Old Madam Pei was distributing them to the two children.

“Mother, this is too much. They are still so young. How can we give them so much?” Madam He said, looking at the bulging red envelope.

Madam Pei smiled and waved her hand, "It's alright. This is the New Year, a time for celebration. Besides, as your grandmother, I've missed so many years, so I should make up for all of them."
