Chapter 220 Daily Life

The two ran out of the kitchen and stood in the yard without knowing where they were going.

"Second sister, where are we going?" Chunqiu asked directly, they couldn't possibly stand in the yard.

Chunqiu let out a "hmm", then lowered his head and thought for a while, but he didn't know where to go?It was tiring to run outside every day, and the two of them had no good place to go. After much deliberation, the two finally ran to Yang Chunni's house.

The two of them got tired of staying in Yang Chunni's room until late at night before they ran out with a smile on their faces. Each of them held a small exquisite purse in their hands, which could be regarded as the "lucky money" given to them by Yang Chunni.

As in previous years, Mrs. Yang Li and Mrs. Yang sat in the lobby early and waited for the children. Except for Yang Chunjun, Yang Chunming, and Yang Chunni, who were not here, Chunqiu and the others all ran over. In auspicious words, everyone got a big red envelope. Through the red paper, Chunqiu reached out to touch the rich red envelope, grinning to his ear...

The [-]th night of the twelfth lunar month.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Yang and Li first set up a table to set up incense, bowed down to the Bodhisattva Buddha enshrined at home, and chanted for a long time before calling everyone back to the room for dinner.

The New Year's Eve dinner is much richer than that at noon, and the meat on the table in the middle is not in three pots, such as chicken, duck and fish are indispensable.

Before using the chopsticks on the dinner table, Mr. Yang said two auspicious words as the head of the family. After Mr. Yang finished speaking, Mrs. Yang and Li emphasized a few more words. In the end, it was Mr. Yang who moved the chopsticks first, and everyone began to eat.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Yang Weimin and the others ran to the gate and set off firecrackers to welcome the gods into the house, and then watched the New Year...

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of the new year, and Chunqiu was called out early by her mother, today is the day of New Year's greetings, Chunqiu wore the new clothes her mother had prepared long ago, and the sound of firecrackers outside could still be faintly heard.

Hugging Chunqiu to the ground, Yuan Shi called out the sleeping Huzi again, took off the single clothes on Huzi three times, picked up the new clothes beside him, and put them on Huzi directly. go up.

After being busy for a while, Yuan Shi felt a little hot, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Yuan Shi asked Chunqiu to take the tiger out.

Except for the seventh grandfather who died young and the elder grandfather who was not in the village, the old man Yang’s family lived in the village. Chunqiu led the tiger and met the spring flowers and small stones that had been packed long ago. The New Year's money was given to them yesterday, so they didn't have to continue to pay respects. According to Mrs. Yang and Li's instructions, they went to the second grandpa's house first, then paid New Year's greetings one by one according to their seniority, and finally went home.

Because Mrs. Yang and Li wanted to wait at home for the juniors to come to pay New Year's greetings, and there were many things about New Year's greetings, so Mrs. Yang and Li didn't say much, and let them leave with a simple explanation.

Among the four children, Chunhu is the oldest. She is already eight years old this year, and she seems to have the consciousness of being a sister. During this New Year's greetings, no matter which house she goes to, Chunhua will stand in front and lead the three of them together. To those who also come out to pay New Year's greetings, Chunhua will also warmly greet each other, Chunqiu follows behind and looks at the novelty, and everyone grows up before they know it.

The second grandma is a kind-hearted old lady. When Chunqiu and the others came to pay New Year's greetings, they happened to meet the third grandma's Chuntao siblings. As soon as the six children met, they chattered non-stop. After the second grandma saw He wasn't angry either, instead he listened to the conversation with a smile on his face, interjecting a few words from time to time. They all smiled and said New Year's greetings. In the hands of several people, by the way, they also shared the dim sum melon seeds on the side, and by the way, a few people were left at home to finish eating the dumplings before leaving.

It's just that Chunqiu and the others still have tasks to do, and of course they can't stay until the New Year's prayer is over. The second grandma felt a little pity after hearing this, but she still let them go.

When the six children came out, they were all smiling, holding snacks in their hands, melon seeds in their arms, and red envelopes on their cuffs.

The Chuntao siblings are going to her house, Chunqiu and the others are going to Chuntao's house, the six of them diverge directly at the fork in the road, and they make an appointment to play together tomorrow, Chunhua takes the responsibility and drags them away like a young lady.

Because the children all went out to pay New Year's greetings, the third grandma's house was a little deserted. When Chunqiu and the others came in, the third grandma was still very happy, and hurriedly went down to the ground and brought up the prepared melons and fruits for them to eat freely, and then stuffed them with peanuts The walnuts were stuffed, and each of them had a small red envelope at the end. Chunhua and the others talked with the third grandma for a long time before leaving for the sixth grandpa's house...

After a New Year's visit, Grandma Seven's house was the most exotic. When they passed by, not only were there no melons and fruits, but even the red envelopes, Grandma Seven reluctantly took them out.

A few people went out, Chunqiu opened the red envelope given by Grandma Seven, thinking how many Tongbai had given out to be so uncomfortable, but unexpectedly, there was only one copper coin in the red envelope, Chunqiu looked back at the three people around , It turns out that there is one big board for each person, Chunqiu laughed "hehe" in his heart.

However, apart from Grandma Seven's house, the four of them received a lot from other families, especially when they met people in the village on the way back, they would be stuffed with snacks. Not to mention others, even Chunqiu, the one who took the least, used his clothes to carry a bag full of melon seeds and peanuts.

Yuan Shi deliberately took out a small dustpan from the house, and Chunqiu and Huzi poured all the melon seeds, peanuts and walnut snacks in their arms into the dustpan. Yuan Shi laughed, "You two really took a lot."

Chunqiu Huzibasin laughed twice.

Yuan said again, "Ahem, what about the New Year's money? Hurry up and take it out for your safekeeping."

Chunqiu quickly grabbed his cuffs, and said with a serious face, "Mother, this is what I want to buy for sugar cakes, I want to take it myself." After saying this, Chunqiu looked at her mother vigilantly, for fear that she would Mother confiscated her hard-earned New Year's money while she was not paying attention.

Chunqiu was also heartbroken, the previous New Year's money was taken by her mother in the name of keeping it for her, this time she managed to save so much money, so she couldn't give it to her mother.

Seeing her daughter acting like she was guarding against thieves, Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Qiu'er, mother is really keeping it for you." She really despises her little money, Yuan's main worry is that these two days Chunqiu is crazy about playing around, and if he accidentally loses the money, he will feel distressed, just like the lucky money collected before, Yuan really saved it for Chunqiu.

Yuan's thought Chunqiu didn't realize it at all, she was still immersed in the thought that her mother was trying to cheat her of the New Year's money, and finally found an excuse that she wanted to go back to the house and ran into the house.

Yuan Shi sighed helplessly, turned her head and asked the Huzi beside her, "What about you? Money..." Yuan Shi was interrupted by the Huzi before she finished speaking, "Mother, I want to buy candy for people to eat. "Huzi said hurriedly, and then ran away without a trace. Looking at his son who was like a gust of wind, Yuan Shi twitched the corners of his mouth in a very unmannered manner. This one or two are not worry-free!
