There are more than 300 households in the entire Majia Village, and according to the calculation of three people per household, there are less than 1,000 people in total.

There are such people everywhere who can't see the good of others, and out of a thousand people in Majia Village, there are only 28 people gossiping behind their backs, which is already very qualified.

After sending the money in the morning, Ma Tengfei's house began to be overcrowded in the afternoon.

At first, it was the family members of the elderly who received the money who came to visit Ma Longli and his wife with various intentions, then many relatives and friends and neighbors who were close to the past, and then even some people on the other side of the village who were not familiar with each other, and many of them came to visit the door.

In fact, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, so there is no need to make an extra trip.

But people are like this, there is a herd mentality, everyone else has gone, you don't go, what if you don't have your share in the money every time

The guests did not stop in the afternoon, and they were busy until 7:20 in the evening, and seeing that the Spring Festival party was about to start, the family sat down and began to eat.

My mother took a bite of soybean sprouts and put them in Xu Tingting's bowl.

"Tingting, let's take a bite of this, guess what this bean sprouts represent"

Mom asked with a smile.

Xu Tingting said: "This bean sprout is yellow, like a piece of gold ingot, does it mean that you are rich?"

Mom laughed and said: "Don't say it, it's a bit like ingots, but this is called wishful dish, and eating this during the New Year means that everything will be good in the coming year." ”

Xu Tingting sighed, not to mention, this bean sprout is indeed more like Ruyi.

Mom sandwiched another spinach to Feng Xu Xian.

Feng Xu Xian caught it with a bowl. "Thank you, auntie. ”

She is a native of southern Jiangsu, knowing that this Chinese New Year's Eve spinach is also known as longevity vegetables, before her heart disease everyone knows, her mother clips this vegetable for her, but also wishes her to be healthy.

There is also a plate of fish, and no one moves chopsticks for the whole meal, which means that there is more than every year.

After eating, the Spring Festival Gala has begun.

The mother sat under the kang with a basin and dumpling filling, making egg dumplings, while the others sat cross-legged on the hot kang, eating dried fruits and oranges, or drinking tea, while watching the show.

Now there are so many good variety shows, and the Spring Festival Gala has been compared to be not so interesting, for the vast majority of people, watching the Spring Festival Gala has become a custom, except for the occasional dazzling show, most of the time it is boring to watch, and even embarrassing.

So soon Xu Tingting began to shake her mobile phone to grab the red envelope, and then Xu Xian also joined in.

At this time, Ma Tengfei's mobile phone also began to ring text message prompts, and some friends began to pay New Year's greetings in advance.

In the early hours of the night, Ma Tengfei took a firecracker and went out.

As soon as the firecrackers sounded, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

The whole village was filled with the sound of crackling firecrackers at this moment.

My mother took a large plate of boiled egg dumplings, and directly lifted the mattress and put it on the kang: "Let's eat a few first, let's visit the New Year in the middle of the night, the weather outside is strangely cold, eat something to warm up." ”

"By the way, Tingting, Xu Xian, do you want to go out together later?"

The two of them haven't entered the door yet, and they can be taken out in Ma Tengfei's hometown, but my mother doesn't know the customs in Shandong, and she is afraid that Xu Tingting will not be happy, so she asked in advance.

Xu Tingting has never cared about other people's affairs, and it is the first time she has come to the man's house for the New Year, even if she is particular about anything, she doesn't understand.

So he asked Xu Xian: "Xu Xian is going?"

Feng Xu Xian said: "It's okay to go out for a walk." ”

"Then let's go together. ”

Ma Longli wants to guard the door of the house on behalf of the elderly in the family, waiting for other people's families to come to pay New Year's greetings.

Before Ma Tengfei and them went out, several waves of people outside came to pay New Year's greetings first.

"Happy New Year, Second Uncle. ”

"Happy New Year, too. ”

"Wishing you prosperity, great luck. ”

"I wish you a happy family. ”

Someone brought a child to visit the New Year, and Ma Longli took out the New Year's money, a red envelope for each child.

Generally, the New Year's money for the children of outsiders is ten yuan or twenty yuan, and only the children of their own relatives will give one hundred and two hundred, or six hundred and eight hundred, but Ma Longli's red envelopes, when you touch them, you know that there are more than one or two, and each one is a thousand yuan.

It's out of breath. Long Li has raised a good son.

Among the people who came to pay New Year's greetings, all kinds of praise continued, and Ma Longli's mouth was about to cramp with laughter all night.

The New Year's greetings were held until 10 p.m., when the village stopped.

Seeing that the people were finally gone, the mother asked Ma Tengfei to close the street door, but as soon as she walked to the door, someone came again.

"Yo, Uncle Long Xiang, happy New Year. ”

"Happy New Year, good New Year, good for you. ”

The person's name is Wei Longxiang, his name is super awesome, but he is not very good.

Although Ma Tengfei will only return to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, he also knows that this neighbor who lives in an alley with his hometown has been gambling since he can remember.

At that time, his family was in business and was one of the first millionaires in the village.

Before Ma Tengfei was born, millionaires were awesome in the nineties. This Wei Longxiang not only bought a car and a house in the city, but also took a super beautiful wife.

It's a pity that it was later stained with gambling.

Not only did he waste his business, but he also lost all his savings, and finally the house and car were sold to pay off his debts, and his wife disappeared without a trace.

Now he is alone with a daughter who is in junior high school, and he doesn't talk about it all day long, and once he has a big ticket in his pocket, he will definitely immediately go to someone to play two, and he will not lose all the money.

The two families are in an alley, but the relationship is not harmonious, because Wei Longxiang has come to Ma Longli's house to steal things before, and more than once or twice.

Ma Tengfei never visited his house during the New Year, and Wei Longxiang did not dare to come to his house to pay New Year's greetings.

"Tengfei, your parents are here, I'll take Xuanxuan in to give them a New Year's greeting. ”

"Xuanxuan, give my brother a New Year's greeting. ”

"Happy New Year, brother. ”

Only then did Ma Tengfei notice that Wei Longxiang was followed by a little girl.

This is Wei Longxiang's daughter Wei Yaxuan, Ma Tengfei has seen her once or twice during the Chinese New Year, the New Year is exactly fourteen years old, just in the second year of junior high school, she doesn't look like Wei Longxiang, but she has her mother's eight points of charm.

Back then, her mother was the first beauty in the village, and Wei Xiaoxuan inherited her beautiful foundation, which was very cute.

"You also have a good New Year. ”

Ma Tengfei bared his teeth at Wei Xiaoxuan, then turned back to Wei Longxiang and said, "My parents just returned to the house, please come in." ”

Isn't it just for a thousand red envelopes?

Although Wei Longxiang is a little worse, his daughter looks quite quiet, and she is not a deep hatred, and it is best for the neighbors to resolve it.

entered the house together, and when they saw Wei Longxiang, their parents were obviously a little surprised.

"Brother Long Li, sister-in-law, you have a good New Year. ”

Wei Longxiang looked embarrassed.

Ma Longli quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "It's Long Xiang, you also have a good New Year, this is Xuanxuan." ”

Wei Longxiang grabbed Wei Yaxuan's arm and pulled her in front of him.

The little girl lowered her head and said timidly: "Good New Year, uncle, good New Year." ”

"You also have a good New Year, come, this is the New Year's money given to you by the uncle and aunt, take it. ”

Ma Longli took out two red envelopes from his clothes pocket and gave them to her.

Wei Longxiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the red envelope in his hand, and while thanking him, he pushed his daughter's shoulder again:

"And my sister. ”

Wei Yaxuan raised her head and glanced at Xu Tingting and Feng Xu Xian: "Happy New Year, two sisters." ”

"Hey, you have a good New Year. ”

It stands to reason that it is so late, and the New Year is over, Wei Longxiang should have said goodbye and left as soon as possible.

But instead of leaving, he threw himself to his knees.

"Hey, Long Xiang, what are you doing here?"

Ma Longli hurried over to help him.

After the New Year, now even children are not happy to kneel to greet the New Year, how can there be peers who kneel to their peers

Wei Longxiang couldn't get up on the ground, pretending to cry: "Big brother, sister-in-law, I know I'm not human, and I've come to block you for the New Year, but I really can't help it." Years ago, I hid until the twenty-ninth and didn't come back, and I didn't dare to tear the yellow paper at home, for fear that the debt collector would know that I had returned home. ”

"I know that all this is my own sin, and I blame my cheap hands, but Xuanxuan is innocent. ”

"This child is a good learner, sensible, beautiful, and can do all the work at home. ”

"The only bad thing about her is that she is a father like me. ”

"I have lived for half my life, and I regret it very much, so after the New Year, I am ready to go out to work, not to be rich and rich, but to be self-reliant. ”

"The only thing I'm worried about now is that Xuanxuan has no one to take care of. ”

The prodigal son does not change his money, Wei Longxiang can get lost, and as a neighbor for more than 20 years when he was a child, Ma Longli is also gratified.

"Long Xiang, it's good if you know your mistakes, Xuanxuan, I can help you find someone to take care of, you get up first." ”

Wei Longxiang couldn't get up.

"Brother Long Li, I haven't finished my words yet. ”

He pulled his daughter to his side, and then forced her to kneel down, and then said: "Xuanxuan is a good child, but with my father, I can't raise my head when I see people in the future, so I want to cut off the father-daughter relationship with her and pass it on to your family." ”

"I know that your family has a high threshold, and you may not look down on my daughter, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, Xuanxuan usually goes to school and does housework by herself, and she can do any job, as long as you treat her well, you can be a servant. ”

"It's just that I still have a debt on me, and if I don't pay it back, I won't be able to feel at ease wherever I go. ”

"I hope my brother and sister-in-law will pull me one last for Xuanxuan's sake. ”

After speaking, he kowtowed vigorously.

Ma Tengfei can be seen that this is entrusting his daughter, this is simply selling his daughter as goods.

Wei Yaxuan kept her head down, kneeling silently next to her father, and Ma Tengfei vaguely saw tears dripping from her face.

Ma Longli is old and refined, how can he not see what Wei Longxiang means, but the older the person, the more he can't see the child crying.

Especially such a beautiful and lovely little girl, kneeling silently crying silently.

My mother couldn't stand this scene, and when she saw the little girl crying, she felt her heart broken, so she pulled Ma Longli's sleeve vigorously and gave her a look that she couldn't understand.

Ma Longli then asked: "Long Xiang, how much do you still owe people?"

Wei Longxiang raised his head, his head was already blue, and he said excitedly: "One million, as long as one million, this money is a small matter for you, Brother Long Li, you must help me with this." ”

"You talk nonsense. ”

Wei Yaxuan, who had been keeping her head down and not saying a word, suddenly raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and said loudly: "I know all the people you owe money, and you owe a total of 346,000 yuan a year ago, do you still want to gamble if you want so much money?"

"You little bunny, I'm going to kill you......"

Wei Longxiang glared, raised his slap and was about to slap her.

Wei Yaxuan shrank her head in fear. Then I heard Ma Longli shouting: "Stop." ”

Wei Longxiang was still waiting for money, and he didn't dare to disobey him.

put down his palm and said: "Brother Long Li, this kid is not sensible at all, I have so many creditors, how can she know about it"

Wei Yaxuan cried: "I don't know that people come to the house every day to slam the door, and you don't go home for a whole month, so you don't know how much money you owe." ”

"You ......"

Wei Longxiang was so angry that he thought to himself how he had raised such a white-eyed wolf, and before he could send it out, he began to turn his elbow outward.
