The Mo family's two-room people branch another sect, which was filed with the county master, so on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve of this year, Shubai told Li Niang: "Let's live by ourselves, and we will go to our grandparents tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings." ”

"Wow, wow, wow." Li Niang clapped her hands and said happily, since her father's death, the Chinese New Year has been her nightmare, either bullied by her second aunt or bullied by her cousin, now it's okay, she can finally be the master of her own house.

Looking at her smiling sister, Shubai was very guilty, touched her bag and said, "In the future, we will celebrate the festival by ourselves." ”

"Hmmm! I'm going to discuss the recipe with Aunt Fu! Li Niang ran away as soon as she smoked, and Shubai called Uncle Fu and asked him to go to the second room to say something.

After Uncle Fu came back, his expression was a little strange, he looked at Shubai and stopped talking, Shubai twisted his eyebrows: "Just say anything about it, don't scruple." ”

"The second master is arguing with the second wife." Uncle Fu said cautiously, "The quarrel is very fierce, and the second master brought back a maid, sixteen years old, called Magpie." ”

Uncle Fu gestured and said that the magpie was young and beautiful, and Shubai could guess that because he was not married, Uncle Fu could not say some things too thoroughly.

"Okay, I know, you go next door to help the fifteenth master feed the livestock, and then come over together for the New Year." Shubai sent Uncle Fu away, looked in the direction of the village and shook his head.

He can't say that the elders are not, but he really doesn't look down on their behavior, it's not even good, he makes the family a miasma, if he really lets the second uncle get in, maybe it will be like something.

Alas, the honor that the father finally exchanged for his life was all lost to them.

What makes Shubai most suspicious is, where did the second uncle get so much money to squander? No matter how much harvest can be harvested every year in twenty acres of land, he can't afford to spend so much time drinking? What's more, after the third uncle left home, no one in the family took care of the fields carefully, and all of them were handed over to the tenant farmers to cultivate at will.

Shubai knew that he could not persuade his grandfather and second uncle, so he decided to move into the city as soon as possible.

He didn't want to escape, on the contrary, he wanted to give his younger brothers and sisters a better living environment because he was responsible for raising them, and he himself worked hard to study and gain fame in order to give his younger brothers and sisters a solid arm to rely on.

Shubai, who had made up his mind, regained his clear smile, he walked into the east house with his back hand, Qingyuan lay alone on the kang table to write big characters, the four-year-old little baby, insisted for half a year, and did not pull down the practice of big characters for a day, whenever he thought of the small immature figure waving on the desk, Shubai's heart would swell with an indescribable pride.

"Brother, I'm still ten words away from finishing my homework." Qingyuan raised his head and said, his fleshy little face laughed with two small dimples.

"Okay, rest after writing, have fun during the New Year, and start studying in the new year after breaking five." Shubai stared at his brother's little face and kept looking at it, it was so strange, the first time he knew that his brother had dimples, like his mother, he and Li Niang didn't inherit dimples, it's a pity.

Qingyuan is a good boy who is diligent and motivated, but when he heard that he didn't need to study for the New Year, he still couldn't stop cheering, and Peach Blossom ran in when he heard the sound and asked, "The second young master has written it?" The eldest lady said that she would eat fried noodles at noon, do you want to bring it over now? ”

"Sister Peach Blossom, I still have ten words left to write, you can ask Aunt Fu to prepare the noodles and bring them here, my brother and I will eat here, thank you Sister Peach Blossom." Qingyuan's little mouth was as sweet as honey, and after a while, Peach Blossom happily ran out to spread the word.

Shubai watched his younger brother finish his homework, help him clean up the four treasures of the study, and then accompany him to eat fried noodles and take a nap with him.

Li Niang, Aunt Fu, and Peach Blossom were busy in the kitchen for most of the day, and finally prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the weather was too cold, and two charcoal basins were placed in the hall in advance, forcing the cold out, and when they sat down to eat, they didn't feel cold at all.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is divided into two tables, but in fact, the dishes are exactly the same, the three Shubai brothers and sisters sit at the main table, and Uncle Fu's family and the fifteenth master sit at one table, so that the identity is different, and it is relatively close, and everyone is comfortable.

Li Niang warmed two pots of immortal wine, which was the bottle that the old wine fairy and Du Feng specially brewed for her, and she didn't take it out when she came over the Lin County Order last time, and this wine was only drunk by her family.

"Come on, come on, everyone has a share of the wine, everyone has a share."

Li Niang poured three glasses of wine, and when Shubai saw that Qingyuan also had a share, she frowned and said, "Qingyuan is only four years old, what kind of wine do you drink?" Give him peach nectar. ”

"This wine is fine, brother, don't look at this wine, it's not intoxicating, just a small cup, Qingyuan's performance is very good this year, you must drink a cup of praise and praise." Li Niang smiled and gave the wine to the two brothers, "Come, everyone, please give a Spring Festival speech." ”

"It's going to be weird, and it's going to be a testimonial." Shubai glared at his sister, but there was a smile hidden in the depths of his pupils, "Okay, I'll just say a few words, everyone has worked hard, I hope to continue to work hard next year, come, cheers, I wish everyone a happy new year." ”

Li Niang howled funny, "Isn't it, really just two words?" I was really defeated by you. ”

The room burst into laughter.

After eating with Hemei's Chinese New Year's Eve, it was to line up to take a bath and change clothes, because the ninth day of the new year was going to be removed, so Li Niang did not prepare new clothes for her brothers and sisters for the New Year, but Uncle Fu's family and the fifteenth master issued new clothes and shoes.

When it was time to keep the New Year, Shubai saw that Uncle Fu and they were still wearing old clothes, and couldn't help nodding secretly, and he was also very generous when he gave out red envelopes.

Everyone was very happy to see such a beautiful silver coin for the first time, and they were reluctant to put it down after playing with it in their hands for a long time.

The fifteenth master looked at the silver coin in the red paper and was stunned for a long time, and then solemnly wrapped it and wanted to return it to Shubai, "My old man just came, he shouldn't have such a heavy reward, take it to buy candy for the second young master to eat." ”

"Fifteenth master, this is a red envelope, it means auspicious, you must accept it." Shubai smiled and pushed the red envelope back, "Since you came, you have helped our family a lot, or if there is a treasure in the family, I am young and I don't know a lot of things, in the future, this family still needs your help to support a little." ”

"Oh, oh." The fifteenth master didn't know how to express his gratitude in his heart, his nose was sour, but he also knew that he didn't want to cry and wipe his tears on this festive day, he blinked his eyes and carefully put the red envelope well. (To be continued.) )
