Chapter 148 The Stimulation of New Year's Day (2)
Of course, Lin Xiaoqiao and the others don't know anything about these things. Now they are walking on a small road in the country, going door to door to pay New Year's greetings.

Regarding the situation in the old house just now, apart from feeling a little angry, the four brothers and sister Lin Xiaoqiao had no other emotions.

As for Mr. Lin and Mrs. Zhou, who are grandparents, they neglected their grandchildren, especially on the morning of the first day of the first month of this year, and did not prepare a few red envelopes to send to them. They had expected this situation a long time ago. .

Because, since the brothers and sisters were born, they have never accepted the red envelopes from Mr. Lin and Mrs. Zhou, and because of Mrs. Zhou's temperament, the four of them had no hope in the first place. I can receive a red envelope from these two people.

Originally, they only thought that due to the constraints of etiquette, they had to go to the old house to pay New Year's greetings. Everyone kowtowed and said something, and it would be fine. Then they knew that these two people were actually on such a day, Or show them a straight face.

Lin Xiaoqiao felt that these people really know how to show their faces, and they can't understand the situation at all, so they didn't show any mercy at that time, and stood up by themselves.

Moreover, she greatly agrees and supports the performance of Mrs. Li and her brothers and sisters in her heart. For those who don't know the situation and want to pretend to be uncles, she should ignore their face and talk about it.

Even if they are elders, so what, Lin Xiaoqiao knows that in the hearts of their family, there is only Lin Erniu left, and he still has obsessions in his heart, treating the old couple as his own relatives look at.

Hey... Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his father just kneeling and waiting for Mr. Lin to speak.

I don't know when my foolish, filial and honest father will stop having illusions and hopes for those people. Thinking of Lin Erniu's hurt expression just now, Lin Xiaoqiao just feels helpless.

Chen Xuewen walked beside Lin Xiaoqiao all the way, seeing her shaking her head and sighing all the way, she knew what this little girl was thinking in her heart, she must still be thinking about what happened to them in the old house just now.

It's the New Year's Eve, I really don't want to see this little girl showing such a helpless expression, dressed so festively, she should smile more to look good, Chen Xuewen thinks so.

So, he stretched out his hand to hold Lin Xiaoqiao's little hand, and then whispered some happy things to her to divert her attention.

Lin Xiaoqiao was originally thinking about those nasty things, but when Chen Xuewen talked about other topics, especially the topic of eating with her, she immediately put aside her previous thoughts and seriously Chatted with her Xuewen brother.

The two of you talked with each other, and I talked with each other quite enthusiastically, which attracted Lin Xiaoxi and Dalang Erlang who were next to them to join in their conversation, and this relaxed atmosphere soon spread to everyone, Everyone gradually cleared away the trace of depression in their hearts just now.

Therefore, the group of people went to greet every household in Shanglin Village in a relatively happy mood, saying hello to the New Year.

In this small village, every family has been linked together, and this morning has passed so quickly.

At noon, the two families had lunch together, and the lunch was relatively simple, not as rich as the table of dishes last night.

Mrs. Li simply steamed the pot with water, heated a few cooked dishes, made a plate of fried meatballs, a plate of braised fish, cut a small plate and made it yesterday Skin jelly.

Another pot of dumplings was counted as the staple food. After such a simple meal, there was nothing to do in the afternoon. Everyone sat together to chat, crack sunflower seeds, and have fun until dark.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, no matter how old or young the family is, they are not happy to do any kind of work. If someone is too busy to work today, it means that this family will be busy this year and will not be able to enjoy the blessings. Life.

Therefore, no matter who you are today, you can only spend your time with eating, drinking and having fun. This can indicate that this year, everyone will not need to work hard and focus on pleasure.

Especially women's families, today they are not allowed to do any housework, not even needles and threads.

Regarding this custom, Lin Xiaoqiao has no objection, but the main problem is that she thinks it is really boring, and there is nothing fun about it.

Lin Erniu went out early, and went to the village to find people to play cards. In this rural village, the men of every household only have time at the beginning of the first lunar month, so they can gather to play cards when they have some free time. , make a little gamble or something.

As for Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng, these two stayed at home, they casually ate melon seeds and drank tea, and chatted about topics that women of their age like to talk about.

To Lin Xiaoqiao, these topics sound boring and boring. Seeing her mother chatting with Widow Zheng is quite lively, she has no interest anyway, so she can only find another topic. It's fun.

Just after playing with her sister Lin Xiaoxi for a while, she felt bored and didn't want to play any more. She couldn't play such a naive and boring game with her sister anymore.

So, she could only hold her chin in a bit of boredom, watching Chen Xuewen and Dalang Erlang, three young men, picking up small firecrackers on the ground outside the main room, and then lighting them up to play.

Seeing them playing with great energy, Lin Xiaoqiao remembered those small fireworks sticks and boxes of scraping cannons that he played with in his previous life when he was a child. Hearing the explosions of the throws one by one, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly felt I feel itchy and want to play with them.

But thinking of her own mother Li Shi's attitude that she would definitely not agree, she suddenly became a little wilted, but she still didn't give up, so Lin Xiaoqiao carefully glanced at Li Shi who was chatting with Chen Xuewen's mother.

She found that Mrs. Li didn't seem to notice her side, so she wanted to go out quietly, and let Chen Xuewen and Dalang Erlang take her to play firecrackers for a while.

However, before she could take a step, Lin Xiaoxi said at this moment: "Little sister, where are you going to play?"

These words naturally caught Li Shi's attention, so Li Shi also asked aloud: "Where is Xiaoqiao girl going? Today is the first day of the new year, so don't be as crazy as usual, don't take this new The clothes are dirty!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao had no choice but to reply to Mrs. Li: "Understood, mother. I just go out and have a look. I'm bored and bored staying in the room all the time."

Mrs. Li listened to what her little girl said, and then looked at her two big eyes that were rolling around, and knew that this girl didn't listen to her own words, and then looked at the boys playing outside. When she was working hard, she knew that this little girl couldn't sit still, and wanted to go outside to join in the fun.
