Chapter 63: New Year's Gifts

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Song got up very early and wrapped rice balls for the children according to tradition, and she planned to go back to her home after breakfast with the children. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoNo matter how you say it, this is also the New Year, and you can't let your home be deserted.

On the morning of this day, everyone got up very early, and the torture and grain were even worn together, so they put the tiger head suit sent by the field on Xing Youyou's body, tiger head shoes, tiger head hat, and tiger head small apron. After Xing Youliang cleaned up his sister, he sighed with satisfaction, with long eyelashes under the cute tiger head hat, big black eyes, a sweet smile, and a few small front teeth exposed.

"Brother, sister is so beautiful. Xing Youqian couldn't help but put his hands on as he spoke, gently rubbing Xing Youyou's little/face and not letting go.

"That's, our mother is so beautiful, can my sister not be beautiful?" Xing Youliang looked at his masterpiece, feeling a little proud.

After cleaning up, Xing Youliang took his younger siblings to the kitchen, but he didn't want to yawn his uncle, who had always liked to sleep, to the edge of the dinner table.

"Ah, this is my niece, why is she so cute. Fu Xiaojian couldn't help but want to take Xing Youyou from Xing Youliang's hand, but his niece who didn't give face turned his back and expressed his refusal.

"Stingy, there is food, how did I find out that your sister seems to dislike me very much. ”

There is some weakness in the punishment of food,

"How can she be? She is so young, how can she dislike people. ”

"Okay, okay, eat the rice balls, eat the rice balls, and be reunited. Song smiled and put four rice balls in everyone's bowl.

"Come, get rich in all seasons, you have to eat it all, do you know?"

"Why can't I finish eating, I still don't have enough to eat?" Fu Xiaojian continued his mouth while chewing on the soft glutinous rice balls.

Song glanced at him and said,

"One of these dumplings is wrapped in copper coins, if anyone eats it, they will have good luck this year, let's see who has this good luck." As soon as Song finished speaking, Fu Xiaojian sandwiched the rice balls in the bowl one by one.

"Well, no. ”

In fact, he didn't believe these statements, and as usual, he fed his sister before eating. Afraid that his sister would choke, Xing Youliang deliberately sandwiched the rice balls, wanting to divide them into small pieces to feed his sister, but as soon as he opened them, the touch from the chopsticks told him that there were hard things in the rice balls. When he completely opened the rice balls, a copper coin appeared in front of him.

"Hey, you actually ate it, why didn't I eat it?" Fu Xiaojian sighed a little.

"If you want me to give it to you. He himself doesn't know whether this is what he ate or his sister ate, I hope it was his sister who ate it, and he will be healthy and not sick this year.

"You've eaten it all, forget it, you can't eat the money, eat a few more glutinous rice balls to make up for it. Fu Xiaojian smiled and put a few more rice balls into the bowl.

After breakfast, Song took Fu Xiaojian back to Fujia Village. The few of them took the dumplings and hemp candy made yesterday to Xiaochuan's house.

When they arrived at Zhang's house, the two of them were eating rice balls, and Aunt Li was worried that they were not full, so she greeted,

"There is grain, there is dry, Aunt Li's peanut stuffing, do you want to taste it?"

Torture Youliang put aside the New Year's gift in his hand and replied,

"Aunt Li, we have eaten, and today we are specially here to visit the door, this is the New Year's gift prepared by grandma. ”

Xiao Chuan finished eating the rice balls, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and lifted the cloth across the basket.

"Dumplings, they're so ugly. Zhang Xiaochuan laughed at the craftsmanship of the torture grain, and at the same time greedily ate one,

"Mother, look at it, is this still stuffed with pork and cabbage?" Zhang Xiaochuan happily showed his mother/relatives the half-bitten dumplings.

"Really, that's a lot of money. ”

Xing Youliang heard his grandmother tell him that although Aunt Li'er's family used to be a landlord, since the land reform was robbed by the villagers, the life is even more difficult than that of ordinary families, and he dragged a sick son, who is also a person with a hard life, and cannot accept their family's things. Xing Youliang looked at Aunt Li in front of him, but there were already wrinkles in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and her real face was already thin and close to her bones.

"Aunt Li, this meat was given by someone, we didn't spend any money, you don't need to be polite. ”

"You kid, why are you so sensible at such a young age, and you talk like a little adult. Li Lilian said, stroking her hair distressedly.

What happened in the Xing family, Li Lilian has always seen it in her eyes, she has no mother since she was a child, and she has been bullied by the Xing family on the opposite side again and again, and now that her father is gone, she has to face so many things at such a young age. If her own Xiaochuan wants to suffer these crimes, she will have to hurt her heart to death, think about what it would be like if Xiaorong could see it in the sky.

"Go, kids, and play with Ogawa. Li Lilian said as she took the dishes and chopsticks that Xiao Chuan had put together in his hand.

Zhang Xiaochuan happily took them all to his study,

"Come, there is food, I have something good to give you. ”

Xing Youliang stood in Zhang Xiaochuan's empty study with nothing but books, and said curiously,

"What is there in your empty study that I haven't seen?" Xing Youliang was a little curious, what would Xiaochuan give him.

"Hee-hee-hee, you guys close your eyes first. ”

Xing Youyou saw that her brothers really closed their eyes honestly, but she didn't, but fortunately, Xiaochuan didn't take her seriously. So her eyes widened, and she saw Zhang Xiaochuan take down a large brick and stone at the head of the bed, and then pulled out a roll from the many scrolls inside, and put the stone back again.

Xing Youyou's eyes widened in fright, his mouth also became O-shaped, and he said in his heart, "Oh, oh, it turns out that the rich people in the past really had a secret grid in their homes, and they should all be treasures in them, and they were really broken boats and three catties of iron." ”

"Alright, you can open your eyes. ”

Xing Youliang and Xing Youqian opened their eyes and saw a long scroll lying in Zhang Xiaochuan's palm, which was still old.

"This is the treasure you gave me?"

"Why, you still look down on it? Tell you it's a good thing, do you know what it is?"

Zhang Xiaochuan shook his head when he saw that the three brothers and sisters were acting in unison, and after coughing, he continued,

This is the work of Wu Changshuo, one of the four masters of the Shanghai School in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties--- "Autumn **** Zhang Xiaochuan grinned and handed over the painting scroll to the hands of Xing Youliang.

Xing Youliang is not like Zhang Xiaochuan, he has studied Chinese literature since he was a child, so he doesn't know who Wu Changshuo is, but he just thinks that since Xiaochuan treasures this cherished painting to him, then he will definitely take it.

Although Xing Youyou didn't know who Wu Changshuo was, she knew that this painting must be valuable after it arrived, and her brother's copper coin in the morning was really not eaten in vain, and he just went out and received such a good thing. However, this painting can't be exchanged for much money now, and it can't solve her brother's current troubles, so she has to give her eldest brother another big gift. As long as this gift is given, their family will not have to worry about eating and drinking this year.
