neighbors with the king

Chapter 276
In the afternoon, the village became more lively, and every household began to post New Year and string money.

The windows of the Su family’s factory are covered with colored glaze, so she cut some window grilles for people to stick on. The village looked strange, and many people gathered around to watch, but they couldn’t stick it. Thatched houses with papered windows.

Before nightfall, every household in the village began to decorate with lanterns and festoons. This year, when working in the Su family, no one lacked those copper coins, so everyone put up new lanterns like a competition.

Children wearing new clothes and holding candies or melon seeds can be seen everywhere in the village. They are the happiest ones.

Seeing the peace in the village, Su Qingqing felt happy.

"Miss, it is estimated that it will snow on the first day of the New Year." Looking at the gloomy weather outside, Ban Xia took a look and said.

"That's good. The auspicious snow heralds a good year. Our vegetables are covered by greenhouses, so we are not afraid of snow." Su Mu said disapprovingly.

"I'm just afraid that people in the village won't be able to sleep well, and I don't know how much snow will fall?" With the precedent of the last heavy snowfall, Bai Zhi was a little worried.

"It's okay, the village chief will definitely be guarded, and nothing will happen in our factory or at home." Su Ye said standing on the corridor.

"That's true."

Su Qingqing's heart moved when she heard the words of the girls. "If the village chief arranges people to watch the night and patrol, we will also arrange some people to follow. The settlement is based on three times the wages, which is regarded as overtime expenses." This is also the rule of the previous generation. The bonus for being on duty during the Spring Festival is doubled.

Su Qingqing didn't want to create a bad impression in the hearts of the villagers in the village, and she couldn't get out of the village's affairs just because the Su family became rich.

"You did a good job." Hearing this, Old Man Su was very satisfied.He walked over and looked at the gradually transforming granddaughter, feeling a burst of pride in his heart.If you get rich, you can't forget your roots. This is the foundation of your foothold.

"Grandpa, if you go out, wear more clothes." Su Qingqing looked at Master Su and said with concern.

"Don't be afraid, grandpa's clothes are warm." Grandpa Su laughed, and walked around the village as usual.

At night, there were snowflakes in the sky, and Zhong Bai came over and sent her a list of those who were willing to take part in the village duty. "Let them do it with their heart."

"Yes." During the time Zhong Bai stayed in the Su family, he stayed with him sincerely.To Su Qingqing, she really regarded her as her master.

After dinner, it is customary to keep the year old.

The hall was filled with various snacks and nuts, and everyone gathered here.

Fengyin also wanted to stay, but Su Qingqing asked her to take care of the baby, so the couple had to go back.

"Teach you to play a little game." Su Qingqing said with a smile.

Arabic numerals, she has let the children in the village learn through her own teaching. This simple and easy-to-remember counting method quickly became popular in the village. Even the old ladies in the village can calculate addition and subtraction within twenty. Speaking of young people and children, they can quickly convert the numbers commonly used in Daqing into Arabic numbers in their minds, so the calculation speed is also faster.

However, Su Qingqing said that this method was taught by her master, and Daqing is not popular yet. I hope this counting method is a unique communication secret in Qingxi Village.

It is of course a glorious thing for a village to have its own script. In addition, the villagers are very convinced of her now, so the Arabic numerals really haven't spread to the outside world.

When Su Qingqing asked the girls to take out the cardboard that had been pasted several layers a few days ago, and then cut it into rectangular squares of the same size to make playing cards, everyone was only curious but not surprised.

"Listen well, let me tell you the rules." Su Qingqing held a simple card and began to teach everyone with a smile.

After her explanation, the young people first began to grope for practice.

"No, big brother, you made a mistake. You can only get five cards for a dragon." Su Qingfeng said with a grin.

"Didn't it say that there are six cards at most?" Su Qingshan nervously looked at the cards in his hand.

That's right, what Su Qingqing taught them was the more popular cards in modern times. This kind of card is fun but requires brains.

"Qingqing, is he fooling around?" Su Qingshan shouted.

"No." Su Qingqing sat aside with a good temper and explained the rules.

After a few rounds, Su Qingyun and the others played in style at this table.

Su Zhongyi and others looked interesting and joined the battlefield.Only sister Jin Juan was a little weak and couldn't take it anymore, so she went back to her room to rest early.

In the end, because it was New Year's Eve, Su Qingqing took the initiative to let a few girls open two tables to play.

Su Qingqing went back to her room to sleep when the firecrackers in the village rang together.The rest of the people played until the fifth watch, and the rooster had to crow several times before they went back to their rooms to rest for a while.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, we eat dumplings and glutinous rice balls, which means that the year will be smooth and the family will be reunited.

Princess Fengyin and Nie Jingfeng didn't know these folk customs, they just thought it was fun.It’s a happy new year, so they can’t come here empty-handed. As soon as they entered the flower hall, they rewarded the female family members of the Su family with high-quality jewelry. Fortunately, the Su family only had four mistresses, so Hui Niang and Jin Juanmei got it alone. A jade bracelet, while Su Qingyun and Su Qingqing got a fine jade pendant and hairpin.

Even the maids and servants at home got their rewards.

Even the guests gave gifts, Su Qingqing, the master, could not be vague. After she gave red envelopes to the busy girls and servants at home, she also gave gifts to people around Fengyin.

Reward money does not care how much, what everyone cares about is the heart.Yesterday's lunch had already moved the hearts of those around Feng Yin.May I ask that the master of that mansion eats the same as the servants?

The snow that had fallen at night was still fluttering, and the snow on the ground had covered the feet.The outside is covered in silver everywhere, which is simply too beautiful to behold.

"Granddaughter kowtows to grandpa, parents, and uncles and aunts." As a modern person, Su Qingqing doesn't actually have the habit of kneeling, but the Su family is really kind to her, so she kowtows willingly.

"Okay, wake up, everything goes well in the new year." Hui Niang and Jin Juanmei rushed to give her the purse wrapped with cakes and silver coins.

Because they knew the meaning of the plate cake, the elders of the Su family paid special attention to it.

"This belongs to grandpa." Old man Su also cheerfully presented a big red envelope.

Even Su Zhongren and Su Zhongyi outsourced a share and handed it over. The happy Su Qingqing couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. "I earned it, brother and sister, I'm the youngest, where are your red envelopes?"

"You are the little rich man in the family, but you still have the nerve to rob us?" Su Qingyun avoided her.

"But I'm the youngest in the family." Su Qingqing refused to let go, and chased her with a smile.
