reborn peasant mother

Chapter 43

In the countryside at that time, whoever’s firecrackers sounded loudly during the Chinese New Year, and whoever’s firecrackers sounded for a long time, it meant that the family lived a prosperous life. Like some difficult families, they just bought a few small "bean stubble whips" Let it go, as Zhong Jihu said, "cold and poor", of course, there are people who are really sad and don't buy firecrackers for the New Year.

There are also special circumstances. Parents and elders in the family, including family members who are closely related by blood, are not allowed to set off firecrackers or post couplets if they have passed away for less than three years.For example, last year, the head of the agricultural machinery station with the longest sound of firecrackers could not set off firecrackers this year because of the death of his third uncle.

"Dad, the firecrackers in our house are going off the longest this year." Gangzi looked excited.

Shanzi said: "Our family's firecrackers should be as long as Li Dayo's, but his family doesn't have a big whip." Children are used to calling Erjijiao a big whip, and ordinary firecrackers are called a small whip.

After letting off the firecrackers, Zhong Jipeng took three [-] yuan bills, which were very new, and greeted the three children: "Who will kowtow for me? Whoever kowtows first will give the money first."

Gangzi rushed over fiercely, knelt down, hugged Zhong Jipeng's leg and kowtowed, Zhong Jipeng laughed and gave Gangzi the one-by-one bills.Shanzi and Erya were grown up and felt a little embarrassed, but they still kowtowed in a proper manner. After each got the money, they came to Feng Yujiang.

"Go, I'll give you milk first." Feng Yujiang, who is celebrating Chinese New Year, doesn't want to mess with Zhong's mother again.

The three children ran to the east hall one after another to kowtow to Mother Zhong to pay New Year's greetings.After getting up, Mother Zhong sat upright in the main room, waiting for her grandchildren to kowtow. As the old saying goes, the elderly enjoy the kowtow of their children and grandchildren, and they will live longer.After the three children had finished knocking, Mother Zhong took out her pocket, took out three [-]-cent bills, and handed them out to them one by one.

"Take it, kowtow money, fifty cents per person."

Mother Zhong gave fifty cents after consideration. If she gave one yuan to the grandchildren of the fourth family, when the children of the old family came, they would also have to give one yuan to each of them. It would cost several yuan at once. Putting it into the pockets of the eldest couple, Mother Zhong would not be so stupid.
