Rural people raise children, as long as they are well fed, warmly dressed, and free from illness and disaster, then it is Amitabha. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info there are also many children from poor families, who have been in charge of the house for a long time and have been working. Cheng Linghui didn't bother with Guan Ju's age-inappropriate old age.

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye. The customs of Shaxi County are only the first day of the new year. Chinese New Year's Eve is not an old age, and they all go to bed early. The next day, I have to get up on the fifth watch and go out to pay New Year's greetings to the elders.

The children are also the happiest, because they will receive the New Year's money on this day.

The old people of the Chang family are gone. Most of my family is in Qiaoshang Village. Cheng Linghui got up early in the morning and went next door first. Shaxi County New Year's greetings, the small ones should kowtow to the big ones. Generally, the fathers and daughters-in-law are not together, they are all separated.

Cheng Linghui arrived at the second master's side. kowtowed to the second master and the new second grandmother. Because the new second grandmother was the first year of rectification, she also wrapped a red envelope for her. Cheng Linghui took it and handed it to the little girl she carried.

The new second grandmother smiled when she saw the little girl: "What can such a young child do?" ”

Cheng Linghui smiled and didn't answer. It's not something she's willing to do, either. In addition to the forty or fifty-year-old women in the family, there are teenage girls. Chang Jiwen married off all the older girls, and didn't keep any of them.

The new second grandmother was half joking, half serious: "In this big year, you must have a lot of things at home." Otherwise, I'll give you both another use, and it will be a meeting gift. ”

Cheng Linghui hurriedly said, "No." ”

The new second grandmother couldn't help but say that she called two girls in.

The two girls were both fifteen or sixteen years old. He has a slender figure, white skin and beautiful appearance. Cheng Linghui, as a woman, couldn't help but look at the second glance at the first glance. Ever since the two girls came in, Second Master Chang's eyes have glanced at the two of them. The new second grandmother didn't know if she really didn't find out, and said to the second master: "Master, do you think it's good to give these two people to your younger siblings?" ”

Second Master Chang squeezed out a far-fetched smile: "It's okay." The conversation turned: "It's just that they are the ones you are used to......"

"What are you afraid of?" The new second grandmother smiled: "I'm just a rough person, and I can pick two more from the second-class ones." When you send your younger siblings, you always have to send the best, right? ”

Cheng Linghui is not a fool, these two are tired. But she knew that she couldn't talk about the new second grandmother, so she kept her head silent.

Chang Erye is like that, obviously reluctant to let those two girls go. But there was no reason to refute the new second grandmother, so she could only nod her head and agree. and tacitly instructed the two girls a few words. So, Cheng Linghui came back from the New Year's greeting next door, not only earning a red envelope, but also earning two big girls who are like flowers.

She was afraid that Chang Jiwen would see the two girls, so she would turn her face with herself at that time. As soon as he entered the house, he hurried to the Guan Ju house. Put those two girls there.

No matter how old Guan Ju is, he is only eight years old. I don't understand the things of adults. Anyway, her mother-in-law is pulling back for her when she sees any beautiful things, and now she is not surprised to pull back the two beautiful girls. It's just that my father is afraid that he will not be happy.

The man wants to go to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. Therefore, Cheng Linghui came back with the front foot, and Chang Jiwen took Chang Zhizhou with the back foot and left first. Cheng Linghui took the two little ones and Guan Ju, and waited for the second master Chang's daughters to go later.

Chang Erye is the most outstanding among the three brothers. The family is big, and there are many people. The maidens alone brought back four. The two big eighteen or nineteen are the unlucky ones of the Chang family. At that time, the original Chang Er's grandmother's family had no money and couldn't take care of them. Chang Erye's concubines and those concubines were mostly sold and couldn't be found.

These two girls were also sold with their aunt, and later after the revival of the Chang family, Chang Erye did business in the provincial capital. Gradually, he became famous. The aunt of these two girls led the two to find them back. At that time, the family in the provincial capital was now the new second grandmother. The new second grandmother gave their aunt some silver taels, and sent the two away, leaving the two girls behind. It's just that for some reason, both of them are so old, and they haven't said anything about their in-laws.

There are two younger ones, one four years old and one eight years old.

Large families pay a lot of attention, aunts have aunts' regulations, and concubines have concubines. If you want to talk about this new second grandmother, the things on the scene are still not bad. Those aunts, concubines, and concubines are all dressed up brightly.

However, these are glamorous, and when they are compared to Guan Ju, the ones they wear on their heads and those on their bodies have to be thrown into the garbage heap.

Cheng Linghui was born in a small family and is used to not understanding the rules. Moreover, the habit she has developed since she was a child is to spoil girls. There is such an eldest lady in the family, and she is not allowed to be spoiled to heaven?

The two of them are not short of money, Cheng Linghui is out of the house, and when she sees any new gadgets used by the little girl, she buys them back. Guan Ju is only eight years old, but she has everything from fabrics and jewelry to children's gadgets, as long as the little girl likes it. The clothes alone can't be worn until she gets married.

The little girl was also strange that she didn't like all the showy things. If Cheng Linghui hadn't given her a red jacket, she wouldn't even wear bright clothes. What compares those sisters to those sisters is not the little girl's clothes, nor the only hairpin inlaid with eastern pearls on the little girl's head, but the collar that the little girl wears around her neck.

That collar was also what Cheng Linghui had to put around her neck. Made of red gold, a finger's width wide. The underneath is inlaid with a variety of sparkling gemstones, tied with multicolored silk threads. Be more eye-catching, more eye-catching.

The little girl frowned and was not happy: "This collar is very heavy, dear mother." It's embarrassing to go out with such a big gold circle, like a rich man. ”

But according to Cheng Linghui's aesthetics, she thinks that the little girl looks good in red clothes and colorful gold collars. Holding Cheng Zhibai in his left hand and Chang Zhiyuan in his right hand, he went out.

As a result, as soon as the concubines of Second Master Chang saw the gold collar around Guan Ju's neck, their expressions suddenly became weird.

No matter how rich Second Master Chang is, it has nothing to do with these concubines and concubines. A finger-wide gold collar, how much is it worth?

Cheng Linghui didn't know this, and she didn't want to compare with anyone. When the group arrived at Qiaoshang Village, it was already midday.

Before Cheng Linghui got out of the car, Chang Zhizhou had already shouted: "Niang ......" ran over. This kid can't get rid of his babbling problem. Immediately behind her was the grandma's grandson, Chang Hongzhao. This uncle and nephew have had a good relationship since childhood. As soon as you meet, you can't disassemble it.

Chang Hongzhao kowtowed to Cheng Linghui when he lay on the ground, stood up and stretched out his chubby hand: "Third grandma, press the New Year's money." ”

"Okay." Cheng Linghui said and went to his sleeve to take out the silver. Guan Ju, who had been sitting quietly on the side, suddenly grabbed her, and said with a glance: "Mother, I have prepared the red envelope for you." Saying that, the little girl gave Chang Hongzhao a red envelope.

Cheng Linghui is not only embarrassed. In previous years, she gave her children New Year's money indiscriminately. There is never a fixed number for how much you want to give. Grandma Chang is a kind person and hasn't said anything. But Chang Er's grandmother finally has a whisper. This year, I changed to a new second grandmother, and I took it from the same party. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to make any unpleasant trouble. Her brain, as soon as she meets these parents, she will tie the knot.

gave a gift to the sister-in-law, and the concubine had a conversation without a match. Compared with Cheng Linghui, the eldest grandmother is obviously more able to talk about a piece of land with the new second grandmother. Cheng Linghui could only listen silently on the side.

Guan Ju's little girl snuggled quietly beside her. teasing Chang Zhiyuan in Cheng Linghui's arms.

It took a while for Grandma Chang to save this little girl and said, "Why don't you go and play with your sisters?" ”

Guan Ju smiled before speaking: "I want to play with my brother." ”

Grandma Chang beckoned to her: "Come to the uncle." I haven't seen this girl for a long time, and I'm quite panicked. ”

Guan Ju walked over, took the eldest grandmother's hand and shook it: "Uncle Niang is a liar, obviously you don't like me." ”

Grandma Chang smiled: "How could I not like you? ”

Guan Ju said: "Then I'll live here with you, okay?" ”

"Good. Of course it's good. The grandmother hugged her and lifted her to her lap.

The second grandmother smiled: "Why do you want to live with the eldest aunt?" Isn't it bad at home? ”

Guan Ju suddenly sighed. caused the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother to laugh. The new second grandmother said: "What's upset, tell the second aunt?" ”

Guan Ju shook his head: "Let's not talk about it." ”

The more she didn't say anything, the more the new second grandmother teased her. The little girl Guan Ju said seriously: "But you asked me to say it." "In that case, I'm afraid that the new second grandmother will regret it. She looked at Cheng Linghui, and Cheng Linghui clearly saw a trace of helplessness in the child's eyes. I don't know what this kid is going to do again. Normally, when the child makes such an expression, he will immediately do something that makes people lose his eyes. For example, scaring away grandma to Chang Jiwen to get a second room.

I saw this little girl frowning, showing a very worried expression: "I'm afraid that if I go back today, my father will send me and my brother and brother back before dawn." I just don't want to leave. ”

"Why?" The big grandma is curious.

Guan Ju pointed to the new second grandmother.

"What's the matter with your second uncle?"

Guan Ju said: "The second aunt gave my mother two beautiful sisters this morning. However, my dad didn't like pretty sisters. Will definitely quarrel with my mother. If they quarrel, they will definitely send me and my brother to the eldest aunt. ”

Who is Grandma Chang, as soon as she heard Guan Ju's words, she immediately understood. The new second grandmother's little belly can't hide it from her. But now that the person has sent it, Cheng Linghui has also received it. The three brothers were separated again. Since the incident of Chang Er's grandmother was called, this grandmother also figured it out. Each man has his own creation. It wasn't a big deal, so she didn't bother to worry about it. said: "In that case, then you don't leave today." Live here with the eldest aunt. ”

Guan Ju probably didn't expect Grandma Chang to ignore this, and she was a little disappointed. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay." ”

Grandma Chang changed her words and looked at Guan Ju's collar: "This ring is really good-looking, who gave it to you?" ”

Guan Ju looked at Cheng Linghui aggrievedly: "I said it's so heavy, my mother has to let me wear it, and my neck is about to break." ”

Grandma Chang turned to Cheng Linghui: "You too." The child has soft bones, why are you hanging such a heavy thing for her? ”

Cheng Linghui smiled: "I just think it's good-looking." Chinese New Year, a festive picture. ”

Grandma Chang took off the collar for Guan Ju and handed it to the girl who was waiting next to her: "I remember that the eldest girl used to have a pair of silver unicorns when she was at home, and you brought it to the eleventh girl to wear." "The eldest girl is the daughter of Grandma Chang. I've been married for several years.

Cheng Linghui heard this and hurriedly said, "No, no." You can keep it for your grandchildren and granddaughters. ”

The new second grandmother also said on the side: "What my brother and sister said is right. That's what the big girl wears since she was a child. Leave it to her children. I got a pair of Ruyi collars embedded with eight treasures a few years ago, which is lighter than this, so give it to Guan Ju. ”

Before Cheng Linghui could speak, Guan Ju said crisply: "Thank you, Second Auntie." I have many rings, gold, silver, not gold or silver, but I have never seen a Ruyi collar with eight treasures inlaid with them. ”

Cheng Linghui looked at the little girl, but the little girl didn't even give her a look. It seems that I am very happy to get the eight treasures Ruyi collar. Cheng Linghui knew in her heart that that girl didn't like those things at all.

When the new second grandmother came back this time, the eldest grandmother was happy for a while and gave each child a meeting gift. I didn't tell Cheng Linghui at that time. Now that I saw that the new second grandmother gave Guan Ju a collar, I remembered to tell Cheng Linghui about it.

The countryside doesn't pay much attention to the etiquette of coaxing children. Cheng Linghui didn't think much about it. After the eldest grandmother said it, she felt that she needed to express it. But the red envelopes she prepared on the bridge were all prepared by Guan Ju's little girl, and there was nothing left to do around her. Chang Erye has many heirs, and the situation at home is complicated. Always think about the depth. I said that I would make up for it when I went back.

The new second grandmother pretended to excuse herself, and agreed. It is said that the eldest grandmother and Cheng Linghui gave her children a meeting gift. The new second grandmother should also express her expression to the children of these two families. But she looked down on these two concubines from the bottom of her heart. No one mentioned it, and they forgot about it. Who hates things to bite their hands? It can be seen that although this woman is from an official family, she is only more knowledgeable than the original second grandmother, and she is also an unreasonable and unclear nature.

She remembered that Cheng Linghui didn't even take the objects made in the palace seriously. Who knows what other good things are in this dirt bun. Maybe she didn't know the value herself, so she sent it out casually. Thinking of this, it is not so painful for the lost eight-treasure collar. You must know that even if the family is as big as the second master, gold is also a valuable object. Besides, the second master's silver is still of great use.

However, the second grandmother's hope of picking up the missing child will be disappointed. Cheng Linghui didn't know the importance of her concubine at all, and she didn't bother to use that thought. After going back, he pushed the matter to Chang Jiwen.

There is a benefit to opening a grain bank. The custom of Shaxi County is that no warehouse is opened in the first month. Therefore, Chang Jiwen was fine for a New Year. Cheng Linghui is happy.

Chang Jiwen was born as a scholar. People say that talent is a piece of paper. It's not that he doesn't have money, but he thinks it's too vulgar to give money. Therefore, the meeting gift he prepared can be imagined. The boys are all pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the girls each have an extra satin and a pair of new beads. The pearl flower was brought back from Suzhou by Cheng Linghui years ago. There's a whole box, all sorts of things. It was originally for Guan Ju, but now it comes in handy.

All these things add up, and they can't match the eight-treasure Ruyi gold collar that the new second grandmother gave Guan Ju.
