On the first day of the first lunar month, the sound of firecrackers sounded almost in the middle of the night.

I woke up still feeling sleepy, but I couldn't sleep anymore, so I just buried my head in the pillow, and the two of them chatted softly.

Hearing the sound of Ma Yunxiang running outside, Zhao Dashan got up first and went out to give everyone a red envelope.

Last year, there were many things and harvests, and this year's New Year red envelopes are a little heavier than in previous years.

When Huang Dou got up, he found that he also had a big red purse stuffed under his pillow, probably put it when Zhao Dashan got up.

Open the purse, pour it on the table, and roll out a bunch of small and delicate gold ingots of various shapes, each about the size of a thumb. The soybeans counted, a full twenty, to tell me, am I twenty years old?

Raising a gold ingot in the shape of a cute little pig in his hand, there is a mark under the belly, it turned out to be customized by Rong Baoxuan of Xiangyang Mansion, and I don't know when he was ready!

Looking at the little fat pig in his hand, Huang Dou couldn't help laughing, the gifts that Zhao Dashan prepares every year are so simple and direct. It's either silver or gold, by the way, there was a box of pearls at the beginning, what a gift for a straight man!

After the soybeans were freshened up and walked out, Zhao Dashan also happened to come in and ask her to go to breakfast.

The rules of the New Year are no different, everyone is used to making dumplings on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and eating dumplings on the first day of the New Year.

The hot dumplings were served, and the soybeans squinted and ate the first bite, well, the pork and cabbage filling, which tasted good.

Over there, Zhao Dashan also took the first bite, and spit out a copper coin with a "quack".

"Good luck, good health, all the best...... Zhao landlord, you are going to make a fortune this year, thousands of fertile fields, and thousands of mansions. Huang Dou laughed while talking, she actually perfected Huang Sanniang's methodology of making copper coins every year as a mark.

"I almost got my teeth out." Zhao Dashan smiled and took out a gold ingot, handed it to the soybeans: "Reward you, landlord's wife." ”

Huang Dou took the gold ingots with a smile: "How many of these things have you hit, you won't be going to see anyone like this today, right?" ”

"No, no, I will go to my uncle's house later, what I prepare for them is different."

The soybeans who believed it were true ate the dumplings with peace of mind, and when they met with the yellow peaches, they went to the uncle's house together. I saw Zhao Dashan smiling and giving five children, including Huang Deyong, the uncle's son, one purse per person.

When Ping'an and Little Tiger Boy took it out first and hung it around their necks, Soybeans couldn't help but grow their mouths. He even gave a child six gold ingots each, and connected them with woven silk threads. There is also a peace buckle and a wishful knot between the ingots and the ingots!

Fortunately, the ingots are small, otherwise they would not have fallen on the children's necks.

Even Huang Guigui and Huang Delei felt that Zhao Dashan's shot was too generous, especially Wu Yueniang and Huang Tao, their families were two children, and each person got twelve small gold ingots with six people.

No matter how small it is, it is also a gold ingot, and it is also solid. Soon, the gold ingots of several children hung for a while, and they were coaxed and tricked by their respective mothers to take them down and put them away.

Huang Dou silently walked over and gently bumped Zhao Dashan's arm: "Didn't you say that the preparation was different?" Why is it still a gold ingot, it's obviously the same. ”

"It's different." Zhao Dashan replied confidently: "You didn't see that they are all fruits, and yours are all small animals." ”

"Okay." Huang Dou looked at Zhao Dashan speechlessly: "Do I want to thank you for your kindness and prepare something different for me!" ”

Probably realizing that this topic was a bit dangerous, Zhao Dashan hurriedly looked away and deliberately went to talk to Huang Delei and them.

Wu Yueniang and Huang Tao sat side by side, talking about the naughty things of Ping An and Little Tiger Boy yesterday. Xiaolian hugged Huang Deyong and sat silently on the side, without saying a word. Huang Dou looked at it, walked over, and gently teased Huang Deyong, who had been more than six months.

"Aunt Lian, I heard from the third sister-in-law that you opened a shop at the West Gate."

Xiaolian saw that Huang Dou took the initiative to come over to talk to her, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly replied calmly: "Yes, when I first came over, I gave fifty taels of silver here." I'll just sum it up, just rent a shop and open it, and I can't sit and eat empty. ”

"How's business?"

"It's okay, it's just to sell some needles and threads, which are commonly used at home, mainly because people nearby want to be convenient and save them from running away."

Xiaolian's shop is opened in partnership with her mother's father, and the goods are taken at the goods store, and her family will have great discounts in terms of variety and price.

Lao Zhou is no longer in the Ark Cargo Store, the three of them moved to the shop, usually the two of them look at the shop, Xiaolian's sister Xiaoye is cleaning and cooking in the back, and life is okay.

Wu Yueniang also sighed when she talked about it: "People are really different from each other. ”

Probably it's different, and hopefully different.

However, looking at the uncle's posture, he did not propose to go back to Xiaolian for the New Year. Everyone still doesn't know how to get in touch with Xiaolian, and they are polite and alienated.

Looking at Huang Deyong, who was biting his fingers and quickly fell asleep, Xiaolian smiled apologetically at Huang Dou, turned around and hugged the child into the room. Huang Tao, who was listening to Wu Yueniang's words, looked up at the soybeans who were a little silent, she knew that the soybeans were rotten and the problem of good people began to make mistakes again.

Huang Dou did feel a little pitiful for Xiaolian, a good woman became a concubine, which was a bit unacceptable to her. However, this is also Huang Guigui's matter, and she can't care about it.

As always, there are no separate tables for men and women during the meal, anyway, they are all their own families, so it is better to get together to be lively. Xiaolian didn't come out of the room with the child, and everyone didn't mind. But she kept her duty more and more and did not embarrass others.

After eating, several children who had gained a lot were led by servants to set off firecrackers in a corner of the courtyard.

Huang Guigui led Zhao Dashan and the three of them to start shaking the dice, as if there was nothing to do in the New Year except for shaking the dice!

In order not to embarrass Xiaolian too much, Huang Dou simply found two dice to come out and kill the Quartet. said that there were too few people, so he pulled Xiaolian over to make up the number.

I have to say that gambling can really quickly shorten the distance between people.

Huang Dou also asked Dongmei Yunmei, who was onlookers, to bet with her, because with Yunmei Dongmei joining, Huang Tao also called her mother-in-law to play.

In the end, even Huang Guigui and a few of them stopped playing, and simply ran to their side to bet behind. Huang Guigui bet on Xiaolian, Huang Delei pressed Wu Yueniang, Zhang Xiaohu pressed Huang Tao, and Zhao Dashan pressed soybeans, and the gambling was very lively for a while.

When he was finished, he counted the money in his pocket. Huang Dou shook the money bag and said to Zhao Dashan with a smile: "In the future, I will win money to support you, and you don't have to work hard." ”

Zhao Dashan laughed, handed his money bag to Soybean, and said to Soybean: "In the future, Mrs. Lao will work hard." ”

A group of people were amused by the two of them, and the laughter passed through the walls and across the courtyard, and was heard far, far away.
