Chapter 126 Collecting New Year's Money
126
Seeing Mancang and Bao'er's remorse, everyone was also amused.

Feng took out a handkerchief and wiped off the wine stains on the lips of the two of them, and said angrily, "I told you to sip and not listen!"

Bo Beibei hurriedly put two chive and mackerel dumplings into their bowls, and said, "Hurry up and eat something."

In fact, Bo Beibei doesn't approve of children drinking alcohol, especially this kind of spirits, but today is the Chinese New Year, and she doesn't want to spoil the atmosphere.

"Mom, I won't drink alcohol anymore!" Mancang said tearfully, this wine is too spicy, it's not as good as Mannian brother said at all.

"You are too young to drink now, wait until you grow up." Bo Beibei said with a smile.

If you don’t drink now, it’s better not to become an alcoholic when you grow up.

"I won't drink when I grow up!" Mancang pouted.

Liu Baoer felt as if his throat was on fire, and hurriedly put the leek mackerel dumplings that Bai Beibei had picked up for him into his mouth.

"These dumplings are so delicious!" Liu Bao'er said while eating one by one.

"I also feel that the taste of today's leek and mackerel dumplings is different from what I usually eat." Yun nodded.

"Sister-in-law, today's dumplings are made with the sauce made by Master Rong, so the taste is better." Feng said with a smile.

She is usually reluctant to use this sauce, and saves it for cooking when guests come to the house in the coming year, but today is Chinese New Year, and she has added this sauce to several dishes.

"No wonder!" Yun said.

"Didn't you hear Beibei say that you want to learn cooking from Master Rong? When do you plan to learn it?" Bai Dinglang asked while eating. Learned to cook.

"Second Uncle, I plan to go after the Chinese New Year." Bai Beibei told everyone about his plan.

Feng frowned: "Are you going after the Chinese New Year?"

The Feng family is also very supportive of her daughter learning cooking skills from Master Rong, but the county is too far away from home, and her daughter will be 12 years old after the Chinese New Year. A girl’s family is traveling alone. If it gets out, I don’t know what it will be. look?Feng Shi was faintly worried.

"Mom, I don't live in Qiao's family. I'll be back in a few days." Bai Beibei said, she was worried about her family after leaving for too long.

"Why don't you wait for your sister Meisha to finish sitting with Xiaoyue and accompany you?" Feng Shi said and looked at Yun Shi.

My daughter is good sisters with Miss Qiao's family, but there will always be a foreigner in the family. My daughter, a girl who has not left the court, lives in a family with a foreigner, which will inevitably attract gossip. This is too bad for my daughter. If It's different when someone is with you.

"Yes!" Yun said, "But I want Meisha to confine herself for a full month."

Beibei only went for a few days, and Yun thought it would be good to let Beibei accompany Meisha to relax.

"One month will pass quickly." Feng said, it's impossible for her daughter to go as soon as the new year is over, and she can go in February.

Just as Bai Beibei was about to refuse, she heard her aunt say: "Okay, that's it."

Bai Beibei looked at Bai Meisha, and Meisha smiled softly at her: "Beibei, if you are not in a hurry, wait until I can go out before accompanying you."

Bo Beibei paused and smiled: "No rush."

Bai Beibei actually didn't want to take Bai Meisha with her. She was in the way when she was around, but her mother and aunt had made a decision, so she had to agree first. Who knows what it will be like in a month's time? ?
Everyone ate and chatted, and they didn't finish eating until it was time to light the lamps. After Mrs. Yun helped her daughter back to the house, Mrs. Feng and the others cleared up the dining table, put cakes on them, and made tea.

After eating, Mancang and Bao'er went out to play with the children in the same village. The women from the Yun family were chatting while eating melon seeds, and the men from Bai Dinghai were also chatting beside them.

Because Bai Dinghai drank some wine, he was very excited. While drinking tea, he talked to Bai Dinglang about the past. Bo Beibei stretched his ears to listen, and there were many things she had forgotten.

For example, her grandparents, aunt who died of illness before she was married, and uncles and aunts who had no relationship.

From the chat between the uncle and the second uncle, Bai Beibei finally knew why her father had no relatives to go around. It turned out that after her grandfather was buried in the sea, her grandmother fell ill. Borrowed, those relatives were afraid of them, and in the end they not only couldn't borrow money, but also couldn't even enter the house. Grandma went away because of untimely diagnosis and treatment, and the brothers severed ties with those relatives in dismay.

Bai Beibei listened to these things as stories, and didn't feel the slightest bit in her heart. If she knew more about the past, she would be able to show less in the future.

After talking about those indifferent relatives, Bo Dinghai talked about the affairs of the sea, and then talked about Manfeng's marriage, and after talking about Manfeng's boys, he talked about Bo Beibei.

"Feng Shi!" Bai Dinghai called out to Feng Shi who was chatting enthusiastically with Yun Shi and the others, and asked, "Bei Bei is 12, have you asked someone to tell Bei Bei about the kiss?"

The girls in the fishing village don't get married until they are fourteen or fifteen years old, but Bei Bei is capable. He started talking about marriage when he was 12 years old, so he can choose slowly, and then make a deal when he is ready.

Bo Beibei was listening with gusto, when she was suddenly slapped by her uncle, she was so excited that she looked at her mother with all her energy, don't tell her that her mother really asked someone to promise her a kiss?
On weekdays, Bo Dinghai would definitely not ask Feng Shi about this in front of Beibei, but today he drank alcohol and couldn't restrain himself.

Feng vomited out a melon seed shell and replied, "Brother, not yet!"

As soon as Bo Beibei's tense nerves were relaxed, she heard her mother continue to say: "I'm planning to let the news out when I'm visiting the village these few days, and ask the big guys to help find out where there are suitable young men."

Feng's and Bai Dinghai's thoughts are the same, she also thinks that her daughter is capable, and she should be cautious in choosing a son-in-law, that's why she started to recruit so early.

"That's good! Choose slowly, choose a good family, and then let someone inquire about the character and family background of the other party." Yun nodded in agreement.

One Zhang Jufu is enough for them, but don't get another one, the girls in their family can't stand such a torment.

"I think so too." Feng said with a smile.

Bo Beibei was very speechless. She was only 12 years old, and her family began to care about her marriage. She didn't want to just find a cat or a dog and marry her.

Everyone drank tea and ate cakes, and chatted until the beginning of Haishi, when the Feng family and Bai Dinglang went back to watch the new year.

Before going back, Bai Dinghai and Bai Dinglang distributed the New Year's money to Mancang and Bao'er, and Bai Beibei also had it.

However, Bo Beibei's red envelopes are obviously thinner than those of Mancang and Bao'er, and they are also lighter.

Bai Beibei touched the red envelopes given by the uncle and the second uncle. It was so light that there seemed to be nothing in it. Unexpectedly, when he got home and opened it, the red envelopes given by the uncle and the second uncle turned out to be a ten tael silver note.
