A few of the older children were happy and still kept a reserved smile, but the younger children couldn't suppress their joy at all.

Jumping up, I can't wait to go out and find their friends to show off.

This kind of thing, they can get a New Year's Day.

Then, when they were about to run out, Xu Jiaojiao stopped them, "You guys are too much, don't you give your aunt and me New Year's greetings?" ”

The children lined up giggling and laughing, and gave Xu Jiaojiao a New Year's greeting.

The two are the eldest nephews and nieces, and Xu Jiaojiao is a few years old, the two originally didn't want to give Xu Jiaojiao a New Year's greeting like a child, but under the pressure of Xu Darong and his wife, they also gave Xu Jiaojiao a New Year's greeting.

Xu Jiaojiao directly snatched the money bag in Xu Zhang's hand, "Come on, come on, my aunt will also give you New Year's money, everyone will give you five copper plates, and everyone will have a share in the ......New Year's greetings."

Now, the children are even happier.

It was noisy, and the old aunt screamed happily.

Even, Luo's shameless one, asked Xu Jiaojiao with a shy face, "Old girl, New Year's greetings, Happy New Year, I wish the old sister more and more beautiful and more energetic, old girl, send me a New Year's money too!" ”

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and was about to send five copper plates to Luo, but was slapped back by Xu Zhang.

laughed and scolded, "What are you giving to this faceless and skinless hair?" It's good to send it to the juniors, she is your sister-in-law, and she should send it to you if you want to send it. ”

Roche smiled hehehe, "Mother, I'll just joke with the old girl, I don't really want her New Year's money." ”

It's a pity, seeing that the five cents are about to arrive, you can buy two big meat buns......

The boys took the New Year's money and went out happily.

I went out with a few men who were in charge of the house and went to the people in the village to pay respects to the people.

The daughters-in-law received the guests who came to pay their respects at home.

What is the New Year? It is the New Year's greeting that runs around, and after the New Year's greeting, he only drinks saliva in the Lord's house, says a few auspicious words, and does not eat at the Lord's house.

If you are not a close friend or relative, you will not usually go to other people's houses for dinner.

Even during the Chinese New Year, no one has enough to eat.

There are many people coming and going to pay New Year's greetings.

Lao Xu's family is a hospitality of good tea and snacks.

Liao Qinggui had already come over, sat on the boss for a while, watched Xu Jiaojiao and them play backgammon, and forgot to see it, but Liao Lang reminded him and called him away.

On the first day of the new year, there are some old customs, you can't wash clothes, you can't sweep the floor and take out the garbage, this day is a day of joy, and taking out the garbage will take away the luck and wealth of the family.

Before the Chinese New Year, I prepared a hearty meal that could be eaten for several days, and cooking was very simple.

It snowed during the day on the first day of the new year, and the snow was blowing one after another, and Xu Zhang's was happy when he saw it.

Speaking of a heavy snow year, this year is definitely a good year.

Snow does not affect everyone's joy for the New Year.

The daughters-in-law and daughters of the Xu family are all around the brazier to bake the fire, roasting sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the fragrance is overflowing.

The snow fell heavily, and in the afternoon, half of the doors were covered by snow, and the village's New Year's greetings were almost finished.

Everyone was eating on the fire in the hall, playing cards and playing backgammon.

Warm and baked.

The backgammon game invented by Xu Jiaojiao is quite popular, and it is all in line.

In the end, there are still a lot of people, and I don't know who proposed it, playing chess and gambling money, whoever loses will get a penny, and whoever wins will get four pennies.

Those who have money will go up, and those who don't have money will watch from the sidelines.

In the past, this was a big gamble!

In the past, if you wanted to gamble, it was just a snack, one or two fries, one or two peas at a time.

But today is different, the children have New Year's money, more than ten cents per person.

Besides, except for Xu Jiaojiao's better level, everyone is just learned, the same rookie.

They all agreed.

Except for not letting Xu Jiaojiao play, everyone dragged a penny to the game.

The game of chess was in full swing, and the men didn't even play the leaf cards, but turned their heads to cheer for their little cubs and play chess.

In the end, Saburo turned out to be the one who won the most.

He won Bawen.

It was followed by Goro, who also won Shiwen.

The ones who lost the most were Er Ya and Sanya, as well as Erlang.

Da Lang is on par with Da Ya.

Erya lost all the more than a dozen Wen, and in the end she could only beg Xu Jiaojiao to be a rescuer, move over to save the scene, and finally won back Wuwen.

Xu Zhangshi also participated in a few games, but she lost the game, she lost all ten cents, San Lang pulled her to play, and she didn't go.

The little cubs are thinking about her money, and she can't let the little cubs get their way.

Xu Zhang's repeatedly stated that today you can gamble a little money a day to have fun, not at other times, gambling and gambling big money is a bottomless pit, and there are many examples of losers, countless.

All the cuties responded in unison.

The first day of junior high passed happily like this.

The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year.

This is the default day for the locals to return to their parents' homes.

Xu Laosi and Luo went to Luo's mother's house early with the size of the family and gifts.

Boss Xu's family also went back to the county seat.

Yao's parents died, and if he has no mother's family, he doesn't have to go back, but Xu Darong has the habit of going to his teachers and classmates to pay New Year's greetings in previous years.

There is also Da Lang, who also has to apprentice in the second year of junior high school.

Therefore, Xu Darong took Dalang and Daya back to the county seat.

Yao also wanted to go back, but Xu Darong said a few words, let her stay in her hometown and serve her parents, and she didn't have to worry about other things.

Xu Lao Er had to go to Lao Yuan's house in previous years, but this year it was also saved and he didn't have to go.

Xu Zhang's stood at the door early in the morning and watched.

"With such a heavy snowfall, the third child won't have anything wrong when he comes back this year, the road is long, and it is snowing he......avily."

Xu Jiaojiao knew that Xu Zhang's was anxious.

All year round, I didn't see this third brother, because I was panicking.

"Mother, I'll help you see, you go into the house to rest, it's cold outside."

Where can Xu Zhang's rest, his face is full of sadness, "Don't you say, old girl, I always feel that this eyelid jumps, is there anything wrong with your third brother?" ”

She stood at the door early in the morning and watched, seeing that the daughters of other families in the village had returned to their parents' homes or something, they were all overjoyed and came back with their families.

The third child still has no shadow.

Xu Lao Er comforted Xu Zhang's and said, "Mother, what is unlucky about the New Year, the third brother is inconvenient for his legs and feet, and he is in a neighboring county, so far away, and now there is such a big snow on the road, it is not so early, maybe it will arrive at night, don't worry." ”

Saying this made Xu Zhang's heart ache again.

"But isn't it, such a heavy snow, and the third child's legs and feet are inconvenient, how can he walk? His mother-in-law is not a worry-free person, and she doesn't know if she will invite a carriage. Last year, he came back alone, and he still hitchhiked on the road. Alas, I knew this, I really shouldn't have married him so far in the first place, and he was the third child...... It's a miserable life. ”
