On the morning of the first day of the new year, I felt a little headache when I woke up, so I pressed my hand on my temples a few times, and drank two sips of cold water before I felt a little sober.

When she got up, they had already gotten up, and breakfast was ready, but no one woke her up, and when she woke up naturally.

There is an old saying in the village that the old man passed down, on the morning of the first day of the new year, the movement should not be too big, and people should not be called to get up, otherwise they will wake up those rats and fleas at home, and there will be a lot of these things at home this year.

Although I don't know if this is true, there are still many families in the village who do this, and the Ding family is one of them.

"Sister, Happy New Year, come and eat, it's already cooked."

"Sister-in-law, Happy New Year, brother, Happy New Year, I wish you good health and all your wishes come true."

Before the table was served, Xin'er gave her brother and sister-in-law New Year's greetings.

"Good, all good, all good."

Today's breakfast is rice balls, and when Xin'er was eating breakfast, An Niang handed her a red envelope.

"Sister-in-law, what is this?"

"New Year's money."

"Sister-in-law, I'm so old, how can I pay back the New Year's money."

It's funny.

"No matter how old you are, you are my sister, and besides, you haven't married yet, as long as you haven't married."

An Niang said with a smile, but her tone was intolerable, and she refused.

"Okay."

didn't open it, put away the red envelope, and continued to eat.

After a while, Youyi gave her something, not only her, but also An Niang.

"Xin'er, this is for you, for your New Year's gift."

"Now, it's yours, you've all worked hard this year."

As he spoke, he handed the things to the two of them.

The things that Youyi gave them may not be valuable, but this is his heart, and it also has such a meaning.

Xin'er received a bunch of silver cloves, with ears, and the pattern was very simple, but she liked it very much.

"Thank you, brother."

"Thank you for nothing, it's not worth anything."

An Niang received a silver hairpin, and An Niang who received the gift was very surprised, and the smile on her face couldn't stop.

"I love it."

It took a long time for her to say this.

"If you like it, it's fine."

He was glad that they liked his gifts, and after buying them he was worried that they didn't like them, and now that he was well, his heart was relieved.

The old rule, after breakfast, the family carried things to the old house to pay New Year's greetings, and then went to the house of a well-connected family in the village to pay New Year's greetings, and the Feng family would definitely go.

This is almost the first time An Niang has come to the Feng family, and she is not surprised when she enters the Feng family, after all, she has seen a lot of bigger houses than the Feng family.

This New Year's greeting, Xin'er also learned the news that Feng Yu'an was going to take the government exam this year.

Counting up, this is Feng Yuan'an's third time participating in the government exam, and he didn't win the first two times, so Xin'er is still a little worried about this.

Of course, she wasn't worried that he wouldn't pass the exam, she knew Feng Yuan's intelligence and knowledge, and maybe didn't know much, but she believed that even if he didn't pass this year, he would always be successful in the future.

She was just worried that if he didn't hit again this time, his mentality would collapse, and she was worried that he would be decadent.

Through Feng Yu'an's imperial examination, she also felt that it was not easy to take some imperial examinations.

After returning from the village after the New Year's greetings, Xin'er took out the New Year's money she received today.

This year, she received four New Year's money, in addition to the one given by her sister-in-law in the morning, as well as the one given by Old Man Ding when she went to the old house to pay New Year's greetings, and the Zhang family also gave her one.

In addition, when they went to Feng's house, the Feng couple also gave her a copy, and the couple really liked her, otherwise they wouldn't have given her New Year's money every year.

She opened it first and received it from the old house, and there were not many copper plates in it, and the two red envelopes added up to only twenty yuan.

The second thing that was opened was given by the Feng couple and the Feng couple, and the Feng couple gave her a lot of New Year's money every year, and this year was the same, with a piece of broken silver in it, which seemed to be one or two coins.

In the end, she opened the one that An Niang gave her, and when she got the red envelope in her hand, she felt the weight in her heart.

She has been touching the money for many years, and judging from the feel, she knows that it is broken silver, and it is not low.

She felt it when she took it in the morning, she wanted to do it, but at that time, her sister-in-law said that she was too embarrassed to refuse.

At this moment, after opening it and reading it, she thought even more like this, it was indeed too much money in it, and it didn't look like New Year's money.

Indeed, in a family like theirs, one or two taels of silver is simply too much.

That's right, the red envelope that An Niang gave her was filled with one or two or five dollars of silver, and Xin'er was ready to return the money to her in the afternoon, it was too much money for the New Year.

In the afternoon, An Niang came back from the village, and Xin'er went to her with the silver.

"Sister-in-law, I can't ask for this money, you can take it back."

After looking for An Niang, Xin'er said directly.

"What money?"

An Niang pretended not to know, and asked her with a puzzled expression.

"It's the New Year's money you gave me in the morning, it's too much, I can't take it."

"Oh, you said that, you will take it if you give it to you, besides, how can there be a reason to get back the New Year's money that is given, since I give it to you, you will keep it, I don't believe that if you need money at home in the future, you will not take it out, isn't it just another person to collect it, and there is nothing different, do you say yes."

Since she decided to give her so much, she naturally wanted to understand what to say, and An Niang said it directly.

"But ......"

"It's nothing, but if you give it to you, you will take it, what, if you can accept your brother's things, you can't accept mine, and besides, don't you also accept other people's, can't you accept mine, I'll be angry if you do this again."

Under An Niang's combination of soft and hard, Xin'er still accepted the silver in the end.

She thought about it, seeing that her sister-in-law would not take it back, and what she said was right, it should be taken out by someone else, and it would be the same when the family needed it in the future.

Besides, my sister-in-law is pregnant with a child now, and she can wait for the child to be born in the future, and always use the money to buy things for them, buy a silver lock and silver bracelet or something, and return it to her sister-in-law.

After the New Year, the weather is getting warmer, and the family should also prepare for spring ploughing.

And An Niang is thinking about how much money the family has now, she now has one in her belly, and the matter of buying the land back should also be put on the agenda, the three acres of land at home are not enough for the three of them, how to raise children in the future.

After pulling and calculating, all the money in the family was not enough to buy an acre of land, and she was a little helpless.

Therefore, she also put some pressure on herself, she can embroider, although the embroidered things are not particularly good, but they are already good in this county, and she has already seen it from the previous few times.

She thought that she would embroider a big one and a good one, so that the money from the sale and the family's money could buy an acre of land, and she could always save more and more slowly, so that the children would not suffer.
