This eating dumplings is also exquisite, you can't finish eating, you must leave four in the bowl, not only means that there is more than every year, but also means that everything goes well.

After eating dumplings, he led his younger brothers and sisters to pay New Year's greetings to each family.

Because the old lady was there, the first thing I went to was the grandfather's house in Hexi.

kowtowed to his old man in front of the old lady's bed, and the old lady gave each of them New Year's money, and gave his grandmother a New Year's greeting, this time there was no need to kowtow, followed by Uncle Xian and Aunt Xian, and then Uncle Xiao Bao feasted.

The old lady gave each person a dime for the New Year's money, and the grandmother gave five cents per person. At this time, a dime is really a huge amount of money for a child. You must know that normal people give their children generally one or two cents of New Year's money.

After eating melon seeds at the old lady's place for a while, they were about to get up, so Aunt Xian grabbed a handful of melon seeds, oil fruits, and cake slices for each of them and put them in her pocket, and then sent them away.

This time it was not only their three sisters and brothers, but the old lady and grandmother were left at home and waited for people to come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, and Uncle Xian and Aunt Xian and Uncle Xiaobao led the three sisters and brothers to the second grandfather and the third grandfather together.

went to the house of the second grandfather and the third grandfather, collected the New Year's money again, and then went to the families of the same production team close to them.

After the New Year's greetings, Uncle Xiaobao came back with their sister and brother.

When they returned to the East House, several people took out the New Year's money, and each of them had an income of six or seven cents.

Gu Zhen smiled: "At the end of the year, a few children can still make some money." ”

Aunt Yan also smiled: "Who makes a few children young, you don't have to give others New Year's money." ”

Qing Soul's generation is the youngest, and most of the children in the clan are the same generation as Gu Zhen, so their surname is Yan, except for the New Year's money for the sister-in-law and the brother-in-law for Xiaobao, Gu Zhen has no place to spend the New Year's money.

And the little hairy children who come to visit the New Year from different surnames only need to give a meaning of one or two points. And these children are not paid by everyone, they are not from a production team, as long as they give some melon seeds and fruits, and the children who are close to the production team are only given one or two points.

So this early in the morning, a lot of melon seeds, oil, fruit and rice cakes and candies were sprinkled, and the bottom was basically out, but the total money was only spent more than four cents.

But what about their own children, the three of them add up to more than two yuan, didn't they make a fortune?

From time to time, my sister-in-law came and wanted to take Yan Xiaobao and Erdanya to buy food in the village shop.

In fact, it is a small shop in the village, and the food sold here is not as good as your own snacks, but it is rare for children to have a little money in their hands, and they are happy to spend it, right?

Gu Zhen didn't stop them.

Qing Soul teased the little aunt: "Sister-in-law, don't you want to save tuition?" If you buy food, won't you have no money to go to school? ”

Yan Qihong rolled her eyes: "Your grandmother has promised to let me go to school." If I don't spend this money, and in the blink of an eye she will take it for me, saying that she will save it for me, so what is she doing for me to go to school? Didn't I save my own money to go to school? ”

Aunt Yan smiled: "Hey, our family finally has a shrewd girl." ”

When Yan Xiaobao was coaxed out of the door by the little sister, Qing Soul was not at ease, so he also followed him outside the courtyard and stood at the intersection to watch.

The lunch on the first day of the new year is not eaten at home, because the old lady is there, the reunion dinner on the first day of the new year is placed at the grandfather's house in Hexi.

Of course, no one goes to other people's houses to eat empty-handed at this time, especially in this big family of dozens of people, each of whom has their own dishes. When I arrived at my grandfather's house, plus his family's dishes, I could make two tables of hearty New Year's dishes when it was hot.

In this way, men drink at one table, women gossip at one table, and children play at one table, and they have a lively reunion dinner.

After eating, Gu Zhen was a daughter-in-law, helping Aunt Xian and grandma in the lobby clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Qing Soul took her younger brothers and sisters home, Yan Xiaobao must have followed her.

When they got home, their sister-in-law also came over to join in the fun, and Qingsoul took peach crisps, twist flowers, and apples and oranges for them to eat.

The sister-in-law also sighed: "I knew that you had to keep the delicious food for us, so I followed." ”

"If you don't say that my sister-in-law is smart, aren't these just for you and your little uncle to eat? Most of the dishes you eat at noon are pickled, and the salt is heavy, are you thirsty, auntie, uncle? I'll make you a cup of malt milk for each of you. ”

Yan Xiaobao doesn't know whether to be polite or not, he keeps all the delicious food for the little girl, and the little boy will definitely give him the delicious food. After listening to Qing Soul's words, he nodded: "Yes, Xiaobao is thirsty." ”

The sister-in-law rolled her eyes, but this time she didn't say that she left it for Erdan and Yaya, and said, "Okay, the jar you gave to your grandmother, I want to taste it, and you won't let your milk let you taste it, saying that it is going to give it to your second aunt to nourish her body." ”

Said Qing Soul was startled: "What's wrong with my second aunt?" Not feeling well? ”

"Bah, what stupid things are you talking about in the New Year?" Aunt Yan glanced at her, "Your second aunt wants me to give birth to a nephew." ”

The second aunt is pregnant with a child?

It's a great event.

"It's strange that the second aunt didn't come back when she gave the New Year's gift, and only the second uncle came over alone. Then this tomorrow will go back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, will my second aunt come back? ”

Qing Soul asked hurriedly.

The sister-in-law said: "How do I know this? It's not far from the left and right, it's in the neighboring village, so you should be able to go back, right? ”

Among the several aunts, if you want to say that you like it, Qing Soul's favorite is this second aunt, I haven't seen her for a few months, and Qing Soul really misses her a little.

The second aunt has a body, and she should indeed make up for it, and she has to make up for it this year, which is nothing more than malt milk essence and eggs.

Malt milk is rare to buy, and eggs have become the only choice.

As a sister-in-law, knowing that her sister-in-law is pregnant, Gu Zhen will definitely come to the door to see. said to be a look, but in fact, it was a family that loved his daughter, and he sent some food to replenish his body.

Qing Soul thought that her mother must have to go with the second grandmother, and after thinking about how many eggs she still had, she would send some more, and if she couldn't do it, she would find someone else to buy some back. Another one, a person with a body is easy to be greedy, and she still has a lot of oranges and apples at home, which can just be sent to the second aunt Tiantianzui.

In fact, it is best to send two chickens.

But if it is only sent by their family, it will not look good if the eldest grandfather and the third grandfather's family do not send it, and this has to be sent secretly.

In the evening, Qingsoul told Gu Zhen that her second aunt was pregnant.

Sure enough, Gu Zhen said: "Then let me see how many eggs there are at home, aren't there still more apples and oranges in the cabinet?" I'll give some to your second aunt when I go back. Besides, there are several cans of malt milk essence at home, why don't you send two cans to your second aunt too? In fact, if you want me to say, it's best to send two chickens, if you get the news a year ago, it's fine, but this New Year, no one will sell chickens. Our two chickens ......"

Gu Zhen is really reluctant, this is still laying eggs. It's not that you can't buy it from other families for your child to eat, but if there are no chickens at home, and the child still eats eggs every day, people can't help but be worried.
