As the name suggests, it is to keep it on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve until midnight, when the old and the new alternate, and then go to sleep.

But in Zhang Sijiu's view, in fact, this is a reason for everyone to get together, chat and play freely.

After all, after a year of hard work, it may be difficult to sit down and accompany your family for a day, and on the last day of the year, you should sit down, let go of all your worries, get together with your relatives, and then accompany each other well.

Xu prepared a lot of food, in order to keep his mouth from being idle during the New Year.

What snacks, sugar, sugar cane, and all kinds of dry goods, what fried peas, beans and the like.

There is a kang in Yang's house, which is warm and warm, and the family sits comfortably together, chatting while eating and drinking, and the atmosphere is not too good.

On the other hand, CMB is not so moisturized.

Not to mention the warmth, she sat in the room with leaky air on all sides, looking at the bowl of multigrain rice on the table, as well as sauerkraut and boiled cabbage and radish with bones, and the only meat dish was a plate of bacon.

The bacon was thin and dry, and at first glance you knew that the taste must not be good.

Moreover, after killing pigs for so long, Zhaoyin's understanding of pigs is also unprecedented, and it can be seen that this is a not very healthy pig, so the meat must be sold cheaply.

Bao Gen looked at Zhaoyin with a blank eye: "Sister, I want to eat meat. Eat fat."

Zhaoyin lowered his eyes, although he couldn't get up cold, but he didn't have a big package: "Dad will earn money to buy you meat to eat."

"The eldest sister buys, and the eldest sister earns money!" Baogen was pushed by his grandmother, and he became bolder, ran to Zhaoyin's side, stretched out his hand to shake Zhaoyin, and asked like a coquette.

The hands were black, the nails were full of dirt, and I don't know how long it had been since I had washed my hands seriously.

Zhaoyin looked at it, I don't know why, suddenly got a little goosebumps, and then remembered in a trance: When my mother was still there, although I didn't love it so cleanly, I didn't have it so dirty...... Especially Baogen.

She stiffly pulled back her clothes and rejected Baogen: "The eldest sister has no money, and the eldest sister also helps others work to pay back."

Liu Changjin spoke up: "Zhaoyin, look at Baogen, you are really going to starve to death. It's nothing for you to help the Zhang family work and pay back, but I've heard that they don't want you to make your own money. You make so much money by killing pigs, how can you have no money? I don't want your money, so you should lend it to your father, okay?"

Liu's mother also helped: "Yes, Zhaoyin. No matter how unhappy you are, it won't just be your brother starving to death. Your father used to be confused, but now he can't find any work to do. Your brother is dying of hunger. It's been a long time since we've had a full meal."

Zhao Yin clenched his fists, his throat seemed to be blocked, but he still said with a cold face, "I have no money."

She firmly remembered Zhang Sijiu's words and knew that once the money was given, it would be endless. Moreover, Baogen is the only son of the Liu family, whether it is a grandmother or a father, he will not let Baogen starve to death. Instead of giving money, it is better to get a bigger Baogen in the future, and help when you really need money.

Liu Changjin saw that Zhaoyin couldn't listen to him, and his attitude was still so tough, he was also annoyed all of a sudden, and slapped the table suddenly: "Zhaoyin, you just want to see death and not save it, right?" Who taught you? Why are you so ruthless?"

"I don't have any money." Zhao Yin's heart was "banging", almost jumping out of her throat, her back was sweating for a while, she clenched her fists and thought in her heart over and over again: I'm not afraid of him, don't be afraid of him, he's so stubborn, not as strong as a pig! I don't have to be afraid! I dare to kill a pig!

Liu Changjin didn't take a breath, and his expression became even more vicious: "Why is there no money? If you kill a pig, I've inquired about how much money people give you!"

"There's no money either. I've spent it all." Zhao Yin tilted his head, clenched his fists, and pushed back. The eyes were numb, and I couldn't cry - with such a father, there was only despair, and I couldn't move my sadness.

"I tell you, if you earn money in the future, you will bring it home and feed your brother! Otherwise, I'll sell him!" Liu Changjin rolled his eyes, and suddenly said this.

Zhaoyin was stunned.

Baogen was still young, but he could understand what it meant to be sold, and after being stunned for a while, he threw himself into Liu's mother's arms: "Don't sell me! Don't sell me! I'm obedient—"

The heart-rending cry spread far and wide.

It also made Zhaoyin's heart as uncomfortable as a pinprick in his heart.

But in the end, she was ruthless: "Sell it." If you sell it, you can still eat and eat, but if you stay at home, you can't eat and clothe it, and you can't live. I've been sold anyway, and it's none of my business if you sell him or not."

"He's your brother!" Liu Changjin roared angrily, and simply began to make trouble: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I owe money, if people don't get the money, they will beat me to death, I have no choice, I can only sell him!" If you want him, buy it with money! Otherwise, I'll sell it to someone else!"

CMB was stunned.

She wasn't sure if Liu Changjin was really scaring or scared.

I just subconsciously asked, "How much do you owe?"

Liu Changjin snorted coldly: "Twenty taels! If you want your brother, take twenty taels."

"I didn't." CMB is telling the truth this time.

She has saved for so long, and she only saved less than five taels of silver, and most of them were saved by killing pigs during this time.

Twenty taels, for her, is an astronomical amount, and she can't take it out at all.

"You can borrow it from the Zhang family." When Liu Changjin saw Zhaoyin like this, he knew that he had bluffed her, and his tone was a little softer, with a little incitement: "Anyway, they are good, they will definitely lend it to you." After all, it's a help. Moreover, they all raise you, and they don't care about raising one more. How much can your brother eat at such a young age? They're so rich—"

"No money." CMB retorted: "Their family has no money! The money has been spent, what can I borrow?"

She was a little shaken, thinking that she couldn't borrow some money and work hard to earn money to pay it back. But after hearing Liu Changjin's words, she suddenly sobered up.

even remembered Zhang Sijiu's words: Being soft on people like Liu Changjin is tantamount to letting the leech bite, and it is impossible to tear it apart. Unless he sucks up the blood and leaves on his own.

Zhang Sijiu also asked her at the time if she wanted to be the one who was sucked dry.

CMB took a deep breath and fiercely didn't look at Baogen: "I can't afford to pay back that much money. And I also work to pay back, Baogen is so small, and there is no shortage of sons, what are you buying him for? Daddy, grandma, you sell the treasure roots. The person who can pay 20 taels to buy him will definitely be able to live a good life. Maybe it's over and it's better than at home."

In the past, the family kept the New Year, and it was really happy. Now I feel that the Chinese New Year is no different from usual.

Hahaha, this chapter is a chapter of the rise of CMB! I think that being able to bring this kind of positive change to the people around me is the happiest and most meaningful. See you tomorrow~
