On Chinese New Year's Eve, the village became more lively, and the sound of firecrackers from every household was non-stop.

Because of the abundance of ingredients, the chef shows his skills, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is delicious and rich.

On that day, the second master came with a large team of men and horses to occupy the barn in the village as a temporary foothold.

A group of people set up a banquet, eating and drinking, chatting, and bursts of laughter from time to time.

As the female king, Shutong was invited by them to come over and sit as the chief, and from time to time someone came up to toast, and she did not refuse to come, and drank until midnight.

Mrs. Chen was busy cooking dumplings, and many people were happy, five or six flavors of dumplings made Shutong's stomach round when she ate, and she happily ran to set off firecrackers.

This commotion, the sky was bright, and the leader of the second master knelt down to pay homage to the female king.

Shutong returned the gift like a decent hand, and this time he learned the etiquette of the New Year with Bao Niangzi.

Knowing that the bigger the family will be distributing red envelopes to the next person at the end of the year, she dragged two boxes of silver ingots from under the bed to let everyone line up, and she personally distributed the money.

It was another silver ingot of ten taels, and Li Han felt pain for a while, but in this year, he didn't dare to say anything, just thinking about where the young lady got so many silver ingots.

The thieves were all elated, glad that they came to Mochizuki Village with the second master, and they were able to catch two silver rewards so quickly.

There are a number of leaders on this mountain, and every time they go down to rob, they can drink some soup and water with them, and they can't share much money.

Although there is food and clothing in the cottage, there is very little silver in hand.

Some people are thinking about whether to take the time to go home, after all, everyone doesn't jump out of the cracks in the stones, who doesn't have someone to worry about?

Even the second master also thought carefully, his hometown flooded, most of the people died, and a brother was separated from him.

He was rescued by Xu Kui in the troubled times, and he inquired in many ways and knew that his eldest brother had settled in a village.

But at that time, he had already become a bandit, and he was afraid that his eldest brother would know and scold himself for being ashamed of his ancestors, and he didn't dare to recognize him.

But now it's different, with the female king here, the brothers can earn a good future in the future, who dares to say that they are bandits!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shutong was wearing beautiful new clothes and carrying delicious food in his pocket. Lead a few small ones to wander around the village.

During the New Year, although paying taxes hurt everyone's vitality, the village still had a very New Year's atmosphere, and every household opened their doors.

From time to time, children run out and go from house to house to pay New Year's greetings, all of them are poor, and not everyone is willing to make new clothes for their children.

Some people have a lot of children at home, most of them are big and small for two, and there are many cotton clothes with patches, at most they are pulp and clean!

When Leng Buding saw them coming over in bright clothes, the children only dared to watch from a distance, and when they approached, they scattered in fright.

Shutong didn't have much sense of belonging, so he didn't care at all when he saw this, and went straight to Dr. Xiao's house in Nanshan Pass.

Looking at the beautiful little girl leading her subordinates, passing through the street, and all of them have new clothes to wear, the children are ashamed of themselves, and there is nothing they are not envious of.

The same is true of the Zhang Dabao brothers, who watched Shutong and them go away from afar before turning out of the back of the house.

Zhang Erbao was the most envious, "Brother, you see that Xiaoyue has changed into new clothes again, and even her little maid has new clothes to wear, which is really eye-catching!" ”

Zhang Dabao slapped the hat on his head crookedly, "You are envious!" You also go to be her attendant, maybe your master will be happy to give you new clothes! ”

Zhang Erbao stuck out his tongue and said unconvinced: "What's wrong with being her follower, she eats and wears well every day, which is much better than our family's life!" ”

Zhang Dabao kicked him, "As long as you talk a lot, okay, let's go to the second uncle's house." ”

The two brothers did not have any new clothes this year, and Ma was so lazy that he did not even remove and wash the old cotton jackets on his body, and the two of them wore the oily torn cotton jackets.

When I arrived at the second uncle's house, I found that the broken yard was cleaned quite clean.

"Second uncle! Second aunt! I'm here to greet the New Year. Zhang Dabao stood at the door and shouted.

Mao hurriedly came out and said with a smile: "Dabao, Erbao is here, come in." ”

When I arrived at the house, there were some melon seeds and pastries on the table.

Zhang Dabao unceremoniously grabbed a large bag and stuffed it into his pocket, stuffed the two pockets, and ate it again.

Zhang Dejiang nodded, "Didn't you go to your grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings to your grandfather?" ”

Old man Zhang stayed at his eldest brother's house for the New Year this year, and did not return home on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.

The old patriarch saw that he was reluctant to leave, and there was no way, and the brothers saw that his father did not come back, and they were not in the mood to reunite, and they were all in their own families in the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zhang Dabao stuffed sugar into his mouth and said, "I haven't gone yet!" ”

In fact, their first stop should be to the patriarch's house and kowtow to his grandfather for red envelopes.

But who knew that as soon as he went out, he ran into Zhang Xiaoyue, so he hid to the side, and then saw Zhang Xiaoyue walking south, which was exactly the direction of the eldest grandfather's house, so he could only come to the second uncle's house first.

Zhang Dahua came out of the house, and after the separation, for the first time in her own house for the New Year, Mao made her a new dress.

After all, she is a big girl, she is a little bigger, her face is ruddy, and her mental outlook is much better than at home.

Seeing Zhang Dabao eating and taking, he couldn't help but pout.

Zhang Dejiang coughed and said, "You go with me to pay New Year's greetings to your grandfather." ”

After speaking, he paused for a moment, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Dad is really, and he won't go home this New Year's Day." ”

Zhang Dahua pouted and said: "I have food and drink at my grandfather's house, and I don't want to go back if I change it." ”

After Mao saw that her daughter came back from the thief's den, the whole person became much stronger, afraid that she would not listen to her words and annoy her husband.

Hurriedly smiled: "This kid just can't speak!" Your grandfather is reluctant to give up your grandfather! ”

Zhang Dahua sneered: "What kind of character is the eldest uncle, my mother doesn't know yet, there is a mouthful of mixed life, you look at this big year, don't make clothes for the child, don't even wash it, and I'm not afraid of being embarrassed when I come out like this." ”

Zhang Dabao continued to stuff sugar into his mouth, but Zhang Erbao was a little depressed, and when he didn't split up, his second aunt helped wash his clothes.

Sometimes grandma will make new ones for them, although they can't take their turn, but if the eldest brother has a new one, the mother will eliminate the small clothes he wears for herself, although they are old, there are no patches.

This year, the family is separated, obviously my mother has money in her hands, but she is reluctant to spend it, and she doesn't wash it without new clothes, which is really embarrassing!

Zhang Dahua glanced at them, "Where's my sister-in-law?" ”

Zhang Dabao snorted, "At home!" ”

After speaking, he paused and looked at this cousin carefully, the two of them were the same age, and Zhang Dabao was two months older than Zhang Dahua.

Finding that her whole mental state was different, Zhang Dabao pouted and said, "I said where did you two hide?" A den of bandits? ”

Although the adults and children were not present, they were overheard. knew that Jiao Ni and Zhang Dahua were taken captive by bandits.

Zhang Dahua's face stiffened, and he shouted: "Who said that we fell into the nest in the mountains? We were saved by someone, and because we were afraid, we hid in the next village. ”
