Chapter 1016: Famine, Natural Disasters 173
Everyone is a brother and sister in the clan, talking and laughing, laughing and laughing, which has become a unique lively scenery in the clan.
Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.
At the patriarch's house, as soon as he finished giving the junior New Year's money, he heard bursts of hearty and cheerful laughter outside.
"It's the kids who have arrived." The patriarch's wife smiled at the corner of her lips, "There are quite a few people who have heard this voice, old family, and the snacks are brought out; The children came to pay New Year's greetings, but there were not many of them, and each of them grabbed a handful."
There are too many children, and if they give copper money, their family can't afford it; I can't afford to give the New Year's silver, and only snacks can be eaten by one person.
"Got it, mother." The eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch's family turned around and went out, returning with a cloth bag before the people arrived; Place the cloth bag on the table and grab a portion of it in a small basket on the table.
"Patriarch, uncle, aunt, we are here."
Hearing this, the patriarch's wife smiled first and glanced at her husband, "These children are so lively, but they remind me of the carefree days when I was young."
"Well, a good day should be happy." The patriarch nodded.
The two sat on the high position of the hall, and Mingyi and the others did not go into the house after entering the courtyard; There were so many people that there were about twenty or thirty people who came, and if they went in, the house would not fit at all.
The patriarch's house was built spacious, and although it was a thatched house, it made people know at a glance that the family was a family that could live.
"Happy New Year to the Patriarch and Aunt, I wish you and the Auntie a prosperous New Year, good health, sibling harmony, and family prosperity; I wish the Cheng clan peace and stability, abundant food and clothing, and a peaceful and contented life."
"Good, good!"
The patriarch walked out of the hall, followed by the patriarch's wife holding a bamboo basket, as well as his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson carrying a bag.
"All arise, all arise, all good children; Come, come to your aunt's place to get some snacks and sweet mouths, and in the new year, my uncle also wishes you joy always, happiness and excitement, and those who study will succeed in their studies and get ahead."
Cheng Mingyi and the others laughed, "Borrow your auspicious words."
Cheng Mingli stepped forward, "Thank you, Patriarch Bojiyan."
The patriarch stroked his beard and smiled, watching a group of juniors line up to get snacks; The patriarch's wife shared candy and other snacks, and one person got a small handful, but everyone was very happy.
They have few opportunities to eat sugar on weekdays, and their families are not wealthy, so their families are reluctant to buy it, so they have no food.
Chinese New Year is the only good opportunity to let go of eating sweets.
Walking out of the patriarch's house, Mingyi carried two bags of candy in his pocket; It was stuffed for her by the patriarch's wife, and she alone has this speciality, but fortunately, she is the youngest of this group of brothers and sisters, and no one will say anything stirring up if she has some favoritism.
Divert to the village chief's house, and then the hometown of the clans, one by one to greet the New Year, go to the family to get a snack, after walking not only the sackcloth bag on the shoulder is full, even her two clothes pockets can not fit.
On the way back, the brothers smiled and laughed.
"Yi Yi was prescient, and went back with a bag of snacks; It's been a few days since these snacks were eaten, wasn't it?"
Mingyi looked up and gave him a 'self-understanding look'.
Cheng Mingxin couldn't laugh, "Yiyi, you have a bright brain, sew your brother's bookbag and use it; It's very convenient to pack things, why don't you give this bag to your cousin?"
"That's not good, I'll just make this one bag, it's for the New Year; You want the eldest aunt and the second aunt to do it for you, don't stare at my bag."
"Hahaha."
The little girl's act of protecting food made several brothers laugh out loud.
Mingyi pursed her mouth, what's the matter, it's so happy to make her so happy.
"What are you laughing at, seeing if you're missing anything in your pocket?" Mingyi pulled her brother away, not wanting to bother with the few brothers who followed behind, and they didn't know what the situation was, as if they had turned on the switch to tease the child.
Weird.
Running home, Mingyi poured out all the snacks to her father.
Cheng Mingli also carried him around
The things fell together on the table, and the brother and sister moved in sync, and a bunch of snacks were pushed in front of their parents.
"Daddy, you eat, the patriarch, the village chief, and the clan elders have given so much."
The brother and sister went out and brought back the same snacks as Xiaoshan, and the two only smiled, divided half of them out and put them alone, and let them share one point on the other side, and put them away for food.
Mingyi and Mingli shared the remaining half.
"You have gained a lot when you go out to pay New Year's greetings." Chen Daya smiled, her life was stable, and her face was a little less uneasy when she fled the famine; Now the eyebrows and eyes are satisfied and happy.
Only those who have escaped the famine will understand how difficult it is to be stable, and they will cherish it when they understand.
"Not only us, but also our cousins; As much as my brother." Mingyi put the snacks into a cloth bag and leaned over to her mother to coquettishly, "Mother, it's a pity that Cheng Mingyue didn't go, the brothers and sisters in the clan have made an appointment to go out for a snowball fight tomorrow, and my brother and I are going to play with the brothers and sisters."
Chen Daya nodded, "Then it's fun, as for Cheng Mingyue, don't worry about her."
"Uh-huh, leave her alone." Mingyi nodded again and again, peeled out a piece of candy and stuffed it in his mouth.
The sweet taste spreads in the mouth, but the sweetness is a little greasy, after all, it is not made of fine white sugar; There is a faint bitter aftertaste in the sugar, which shows that the materials used are not good.
After staying with her parents for a while, Chen Daya was going to help with the cooking, and the brother and sister left.
Walking out of their parents' yard, they sent some snacks to their grandparents and grandparents; It is regarded as filial piety as a grandchild, and there are good things to worry about the elders!
And Cheng Mingyi and his brothers are also sharing the snacks they get, and the two brothers in the big house converged the snacks together and divided them into four; One copy for Cheng Yuandong and his wife, one copy for Cheng Mingyue, and one copy for Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Minglian.
As for Cheng Mingyi's wife Wang Fengya, it is counted in Cheng Mingyi's share.
The second room is much better, one is three, one for the parents, and one for each of the two brothers.
Cheng Dazhu in the yard.
Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua sat at the table, looking at the snacks on the table, Cheng Dazhu couldn't help but sigh.
"Two children are really filial."
Luo Cuihua pursed her lips in embarrassment and did not refute until she came back from lunch; Luo Cuihua looked at the snacks on the table, and Cheng Dazhu asked to know that the second room of the big room did not send a copy, and Luo Cuihua was heartfelt.
Cheng Dazhu chuckled, "Look at you, you're old, and you still care about the child's food."
"I don't care about that bit of food...... Luo Cuihua has a calm face, "The youngest two know that they are worried about us, and they know that some good things will send us some, and I am happy in my heart; I didn't send the others."
Now it seems that her husband's vision is good!
The details look at the big picture.
Whether they are rare or not, whether they need them or not is one thing, and whether the grandchildren have them in their hearts is another.
If Mingyi didn't send it, there was no comparison, and it would be nothing if the other grandchildren didn't send it; After all, there is no harm without comparison, and there is great harm with comparison.
