On the first day of the Lunar New Year, firecrackers rang out in every household.

In the West House, Han Yi, who was tired of traveling and driving, slept until 7 o'clock before he was woken up by the itching on the tip of his nose, and when he opened his eyes, he was a smile like a flower close at hand.

"Hee-hee, Brother Happy New Year! Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope!"

Han Yi smiled and rubbed her head, "Well, Yingzi also has a happy New Year!" said and took out a thick red envelope from under the pillow, "Here!"

Han Ying took it and opened it, and there was a stack of brand-new 20 yuan inside, no less than 100 by eyesight.

"Wow, that's so much! Thank you, Brother. Saying that, Han Ying jumped up and shouted as she ran: "Mom, look at the big red envelope that Brother gave me......"

"Tell you not to disturb your brother, you go and ...... again"

Han Yi smiled, got up and got dressed.

The morning in the mountains was cold, and the cold and humid air mixed with the fresh smell of the trees went straight to the nose.

"Happy New Year, Daddy!"

"Happy New Year, Mom!"

Han Xiaobao, who was squatting in the courtyard playing Transformers, walked over and said as if the little adult said, "Brother, I wish you all the best in the new year." After speaking, he remembered something, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the red envelope." ”

Han Yi laughed and took out a small red envelope from his pocket, "Oh, give it." ”

Han Xiaobao took the red envelope and went to ask for credit, "Mom, Brother gave me a red envelope, look." ”

Han Yi's mother, who was choosing vegetables, kicked her hand in her pocket and said, "Well, let's go play." ”

Han Xiaobao went to play, maybe in his opinion, the red envelope was only temporarily kept by his mother, and he still had to give it to him when he went back. As everyone knows, there will be a red envelope left when you turn around.

Here, Han Yi's father said, "Yingzi, pour water for your brother." ”

"Bah~" Han Ying jumped up and down to carry the kettle.

"No, no, the well water is pretty good. ”

Han Yi went to the car to get toiletries.

Hugged a big stack down, towels, toothbrushes, facial cleanser, all kinds of facial cleansers to wipe the face.

People in the mountains are like this, not to mention the towel, it is normal to use the toothbrush for a year and a half, and there is nothing to say about changing it once a month. As for alabaster, Han Yi had never seen that thing since he was a child.

Replace the toothbrush on the well platform, and use the towel that can no longer see the original color as a rag, and replace it with a new toothpaste, toothbrush, and towel.

"Yingzi, come here, rub incense. ”

Han Ying looked at the bottles and cans on the well platform, picked them up one by one and asked, "What is this?"

"It's for washing your face. Wet your face before washing your face, then wipe it a little bit, then rinse it off with water, and then rub this so that your skin will not dry out in winter. ”

Explain the same to Han Ying.

His sister is very beautiful. But he often has to help with the family, and the skin on his face and hands is very dry, and over the years, he will become a very ordinary girl like his married sister.

He can't help it without ability, and now that he has the conditions, of course he can't be the same as before. The eldest brother is like a father, and he wants to nurture these two younger siblings well.

Over there, Han Yi's father was holding a crystal pipe, and his eyes narrowed with laughter. There is a pillar in the family, and the fate of the whole family has reached a turning point in history, and his mood is needless to say.

......

There are already people outside who have come to pay New Year's greetings.

"Happy New Year, Second Master, Second Mother! ”

"Well, so do you. Come on in......"

"Dad, give the child candy and red envelopes......"

There are 10 yuan for a child who is close to each other, 5 yuan for a child who doesn't usually interact much, and there will be no shortage of candy melon seeds.

Han Yi just looked at it and smiled, but didn't say anything.

He is rich, but the customs here are like that. Giving 5 pieces is already a big deal, and in previous years, it meant grabbing two pieces of sugar.

There is also a habit of "running for the New Year", and some children can run all the way to other villages. Because children under the age of 15 have been collected by adults for the New Year, only those sweets and pastries can be kept and eaten, run more, and eat until the beginning of spring.

Unlike the children in the city, if you only give candy and not New Year's money, he can throw you on the ground.

A group of children left happily, and a large group of people came behind, including Wang Xiaohu's sister Wang Yumei.

Wang Xiaohu's sister is about the same age as Han Ying, and she is also 14 years old this year, just entering her first year of junior high school. Wearing a long pink down jacket and a pair of snow-white sneakers, she looks particularly cute.

"Happy New Year, Second Master, Second Mother! ”

"Hey, you guys have a good New Year...... too"

Han Yimu's mother smiled and grabbed the candy one by one and gave the red envelopes.

The last sister Wang stepped forward and said, "Happy New Year, second uncle and second uncle, my sister will kowtow to your second elder." Saying that, my sister really knelt down and kowtowed to Han Yi's parents.

Han Yi's mother hurriedly stepped forward and pulled, "You kid, why are you so real." He took her by the hand and went into the house and said, "Daddy, get a red envelope for the child." ”

All kinds of snacks and candies brought back by Han Yi were stuffed into the bag that Wang Yimei was carrying, and she also took out a red envelope and stuffed it into her hand.

smiled and said: "You see that our sister is so good-looking, and she will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future." ”

Sister Wang blushed and didn't speak.

The children in the mountains got married early, and they couldn't find their daughter-in-law because they were late, so the girls were also more precocious in this regard, because someone in the family had come to the door early to protect the media, and they were naturally ignorant.

Han Yi came over, and the younger sister stepped forward with a red face and said, "Happy New Year, Brother!"

Han Yi smiled, grinned and said, "Well, you also have a good New Year! ”

As he spoke, he took out a red envelope, "Come on, come on, good luck, take a red envelope to press the New Year." ”

Maybe the red envelope is too thick, and Wang Yimei blushed and didn't dare to ask for it.

"What are you afraid of. I'm your brother, take it, don't want it. ”

Wang Yimei caught it, thanked her again and again, and then went out of the house.

There was a group of friends waiting outside, and when they saw that Wang Qimei took two red envelopes, they asked her to take them out to see how much it was.

Han Yimu's mother, who demolished it first, gave it a big red ticket.

"Wow! a hundred dollars. ”

A group of friends exclaimed in amazement.

"There is one more and there is a ......"

Wang Yimei opened the red envelope given by Han Yi's brother, and because it was too thick to be stuck on both sides, she couldn't pour it out, so she reached in and dragged it out, and pulled out a brand new 20.

"20 yuan is not a lot, Second Brother Han is really good to you. ”

In the envious eyes of a group of young men, the younger sister pinched the money inside with her hand and pulled it out.

A thick pile of 20 yuan, exuding the aroma of ink and the fresh air of breakfast poured into the nasal cavity.

"Wow, sister, how much is this......"

"At least 500 yuan. ”

"Not only that, it's at least 1,000 yuan so thick. ”

"It's amazing, Second Brother Han actually gave his sister 1,000 red envelopes. ”

"Hee-hee, this is a dowry...... right?"

Wang Qimei hurriedly stuffed the money in, greeted her friends with a red face, and ran in the direction of home with a red envelope.

......

Soon, amid the exclamations of a group of children, the news that Han Yi gave Wang Yimei 1,000 yuan for the New Year's money spread. Those who are also relatives of Han Yi's family are envious, jealous and hateful, but their children are all older, and they can't open their mouths if they want to ask for red envelopes.

Wang Xiaohu's family has relatives who have come to visit the New Year early, and there are three floors inside the house, and some people come directly with their daughters, saying that they are coming to visit the New Year, but in fact, it is a blind date.

"My Nizi has graduated from junior high school this year, and I want to work in Xiaohu's factory, do you think it's okay?"

"Brother Wang, do you look at the appearance of my second child, is it worthy of your little tiger?"

“......”

Wang Xiaohu's father smiled on his face, the cigarettes were scattered in circles, and he said with a smile in his mouth: "It's all right, I'll help you ask when you go back." ”

The adults here are laughing, but Wang Xiaohu, who is surrounded by a group of little girls, is a little helpless. People don't say they like you, they just want to go to Jinling to work. But if you really want to take a group of little girls to Jinling, Wang Tiantian won't be able to fry the pot when you turn around?

Just then, a pearl white Citroen drove quickly in the distance, and the dry road surface was rolled in with a puff of dust under the pressure of tires.

Wang Xiaohu's house is in the easternmost part of Pozhai Village, next door to the rest of the villages, behind which are several withered peaks, and an east-west cement road runs through his house.

Wang Xiaohu, who was standing at the door, frowned in disgust. The whole village drove a white car and it was still a car, and there was no one else except Xiong Jiang.

Citroen stopped at the door of Wang Xiaohu's house, and after the dust passed, the car window was lowered, revealing a face that wanted to be more suspicious, and grinned: "Isn't this Wang Xiaohu, I heard that you have made a fortune?"

Wang Xiaohu stretched out his hand to fan the dust and sneered: "Does it have anything to do with you if you are rich or not?"

Xiong Jiang in the car smacked his mouth and said, "Tut-tut, look, if you have a little money, your tone is different." Last year, it was the same as a turtle grandson, but it trembled the next year. ”

Wang Xiaohu stretched out his hand and pointed at him: "Don't come to find trouble during the New Year." ”

Xiong Jiang in the car gave a thumbs up: "You cow." pretended to be a gray grandson in the city, and came back to be an uncle. ”

Wang Xiaohu looked left and right, bent down to pick up a stone, and threw it over.

"you~"

Xiong Jiang was startled, and quickly avoided it with one foot on the accelerator, and the stone hit the wheels of the car.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Xiong Jiang drove away in the car.
