103 Strange Families

Sibo's string of firecrackers is not the end, but the beginning.

After Sheng Qingqing finished washing, the sound of firecrackers began to sound in the village one after another.

This is something you can't see in a modern city. Fireworks and firecrackers were banned, but it also blocked the lively atmosphere of the New Year.

Sheng Qingqing admired the fireworks in the sky with great interest and began to make breakfast.

I'm going out to pay New Year's greetings today, so I didn't plan to make a rich breakfast. And because he was in a hurry, Sheng Qingqing simply took a few Western-style meat floss bread from the space.

Although the bread is frozen in the freezer, it can only be kept for a month at most, and if you don't eat it now, it will still spoil in the future.

Put a few breads in the microwave, Sheng Qingqing took out three more bottles of milk and put them in the pot to heat up.

When she was all ready, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming also got up.

"Sister, what are we going to eat in the morning?" Sheng Zhizhi was still rubbing her eyes, and then asked.

Since the family has money, Sheng Qingqing has received the gift of the "mountain god" and has many skills, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming, the two children, are most looking forward to three meals a day every day.

Their eldest sister can give them a different surprise every time!

Today is also obviously a novelty day as well.

Looking at the meat floss bread brought out by Sheng Qingqing, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming were both surprised and loved, but they were a little afraid to start when they saw the meat floss bread for the first time.

"Sister, how do you eat this?" Sheng Zhizhi rubbed his hands.

Sheng Siming's black grape-like eyes also looked at it, and there was obvious longing in his eyes.

Sheng Qingqing smiled, divided the milk and bread to them separately, and explained: "This is meat floss bread, just take it and eat it directly, with milk, eat it slowly." ”

It's still early, and even if it's a New Year's greeting, at least wait until dawn.

When the two children heard this, they picked up the meat floss bread and milk with novelty and ate it. Not to mention the meat floss bread, as far as milk is concerned, it is also a delicacy that they have never tasted.

In this era, there was milk, but it was not as finely refined and flavored as it is in modern times, so it was always filled with a milky smell.

Of course, this milky smell is nothing to Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming, who didn't even have the qualifications to taste the milky smell before. Only when the children of the rich families in the village drink milk, they can look at it a few more times and understand what it is.

After eating breakfast, the three sisters and brothers were ready to go out to pay New Year's greetings.

New Year's greetings are also exquisite, and unlike the simple practices of modern times, New Year's greetings in this era are obviously more complicated.

The people of Shengjia Village and Sheng Qingqing's sisters and brothers are all the same surname, although there is not much blood relationship now, but the ancestors are three generations up, and they can be regarded as a family. And Sheng Qingqing's sisters and brothers are young, so all the uncles in the village can be regarded as their elders.

So they asked one family to come and come together.

At this time, the sky has already brightened, and every household has opened its door to welcome the younger generations who come to pay their respects.

The closest one that Sheng Qingqing chose was the fourth uncle who started setting off firecrackers early in the morning.

Kneel and kowtow when you enter the door, wishing the elders a prosperous New Year, health and longevity. The other end has to knock very sincerely, Sheng Qingqing, as a modern person, really can't stand this etiquette.

Fortunately, when you meet your peers, you don't have to pay so much attention to it, you just need to give a gift and congratulate you.

Although at the age of the three of them, there are really not many people of their same generation.

There are not many wealthy people in the village, so after the New Year's greetings, the elders rarely give New Year's red envelopes, and most of them take out a few homemade pear blossom candy and pastries and stuff them into the hands of children, even if it is a gift.

In this regard, Sheng Qingqing doesn't care. After all, she came to pay New Year's greetings, and she didn't bring anything in her hand, and she was embarrassed to let her family return anything valuable.

The people in the village were very understanding of her coming to the door empty-handed. After all, their families are all poor and famous, and being able to eat enough this year is already a big improvement, and they really can't ask for more.

There are not many people in Shengjia Village, but one by one New Year's greetings, even if it is a little perfunctory, after a day, only half of the people have passed. It's not good to miss a few households, after all, almost all the people in the village are kind to their three sisters and brothers.

In the end, Second Uncle Niu was a little distressed and reminded: "Miss Qing, you are too sincere, you don't have to go to some people's homes." ”

Sheng Qingqing scratched her head, a little hesitant.

To be honest, she doesn't really remember how she relates to many of the villagers in the village.

Her current memories are all from the source and the original owner.

The original Sheng Qingqing was good when she grew up and was able to remember some relationships clearly, but when she was young, she really didn't understand who helped and who fell into the ground.

"Second uncle, aren't the people in the village very helpful to us?" Sheng Qingqing asked curiously.

It doesn't matter if she can't remember clearly, obviously Second Uncle Niu remembers it very clearly.

When Second Uncle Niu heard her ask, he immediately lowered his voice.

"I shouldn't have talked too much about this, but I can't see you in the valley." Second Uncle Niu leaned over and looked left and right a few times before lowering his voice and continuing: "You were still young at the time, and it was normal for you to remember. The second uncle told you that you only need to go to the east, and you don't have to worry about the few households in the west. ”

Second Uncle Niu only said this, but he refused to say anything in detail.

"Don't ask so much, those dirty things, listen too much, and pollute your ears." Second Uncle Niu frowned, his eyebrows were full of disgust.

The more she said this, the more curious Sheng Qingqing became.

Second Uncle Niu's temper can be said to be very good, what is it that can make him so disgusting and disgusting?

However, no matter how she asked, Second Uncle Niu didn't say anything, just asked her to stay away from the families in the west of the village.

There are not many people in Shengjia Village. If you look down from above, you can see these houses in a rectangle around the village.

Of course, it's not a regular rectangle. This rectangle has some water chestnut angles.

And this water chestnut is a few families in the west of the village.

It's also strange to say that these families are also surnamed Sheng, but in the village, they are faintly ostracized. Not only were the houses built far away from other people's homes, but Sheng Qingqing noticed that when these families went out, very few villagers greeted them.

Sheng Qingqing has observed that their neighbor, the fourth uncle, is actually a relatively withdrawn old man, and his popularity in the village is not particularly good. But that's it, if you compare with those families, the fourth uncle is almost loved by everyone.
