After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first thing is that the children in the village go from house to house to pay New Year greetings, and then the villagers pay New Year greetings to each other.

The children take the bags and give them some food from home when they come.

Adults pay New Year greetings to each other without bringing gifts, that is, they go to the elderly's home or the home of an acquaintance to sit and chat.

Then go out to visit relatives and friends.

Yan Qiuxing got up early, opened the courtyard gate, and waited for the children in the village to come and pay New Year's greetings to her mother and father.

Take out the candy balls prepared by grandma and arrange them.

The candy balls are prepared long before the Chinese New Year, ten for each child.

When they were children, they would go from house to house to pay New Year greetings every New Year's Day. However, it was impossible for people in the village to give them candy balls. They mostly gave them a handful of fried broad beans, peas, and soybeans.

Even so, it is still a good snack for them.

However, Grandma always prepared very little food, and when she ran out of food, she would grab it from their bags, leaving little for them in the end.

The three people from Jiang He Hu set out early in the morning with their cloth bags.

The family now has enough food, but the three younger brothers still like to join in the fun.

After a while, the children from the village came over in groups, chattering.

When they entered the clean and spacious yard paved with tiles, the noisy children consciously closed their mouths and walked forward uneasily.

His eyes couldn't help but look around, full of envy.

"What a beautiful big house."

“The ground is cleaner than when we first moved here.”

"You are stupid. How many people came to see the house the day we first moved in? Can the floor be clean?"

"Then will we make the ground dirty?"

After the other friends heard this, they raised their feet and didn't know what to do.

The courtyard with tiled floors was clean. As they walked along, their straw sandals were stained with mud, which would really make other people's yards dirty.

"It's okay, come in quickly, my father and mother-in-law are waiting." Yan Qiuyan smiled and explained.

Hearing that Uncle Fan and Aunt Fan were waiting, the children's childish faces immediately lit up with big smiles, and they ran into the main room cheering.

In the main room, Shui Qing was called out by her two daughters very early. She stayed up late last night and it was extremely difficult to get up in the morning.

After finally tidying up and taking care of myself, I was still yawning non-stop while sitting in the main seat in the main room.

On the other hand, Fan Jin, who had also stayed up late next to him, had clear and soft black eyes, a smile as gentle as jade, and his whole person was elegant and sober.

Shui Qing: ....Everyone is different!

"New Year's greetings to my second uncle and aunt!" There were lively congratulations and a chorus of kneels.

Shui Qing looked at the little carrot head kneeling on the ground in front of him, and all the sleepyheads immediately ran away!

Too exaggerated, right?

Do you still need to kneel down to pay New Year greetings?

She turned her head in surprise and looked at Fan Jin who was sitting next to her. She saw that the latter's expression was indifferent, as if he was used to it.

"Yan Qiu and Xing Hui, give them the candy balls quickly." Shui Qing greeted.

Hearing the candy ball, the children on the ground raised their heads with confusion and disbelief in their eyes.

When the ten candy balls truly lay in the palm of my hand, the atmosphere suddenly boiled!

"sugar?"

"Sweet! It's really sugar."

"So sweet!"

A group of children all smiled happily and looked at Shui Qing and Fan Jin in the main seats, feeling more cordial than seeing their parents!

"Thank you, uncle and aunt!"

There was another chorus of thanks.

Shui Qing felt that these children were too easy to bribe, and a few candy balls directly boosted their favorability.

Looking at the children jumping out, I knew that a large number of children would come over soon.

She said happily: "In the future, our family will become the No. 1 family in the village that children most want to visit for New Year greetings!"

Yan Qiu and Xing Hui nodded heavily without hesitation.

In the past, they would have gone to that house first if they had candy balls to eat during New Year greetings.

Fan Jin looked at Shui Qing, who had a bright smile and a brisk tone, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

She has always been very kind and compassionate towards her children.

When they grow old, they will definitely be the most popular and beloved elderly people in the village, and the elderly people who children love to be close to most.

No, there is no need to wait until they are old. After today, they are already.

All morning, the children's cheers and surprises never stopped in the big yard.

Fan went to the houses of some familiar old men in the village to pay New Year's greetings. After chatting for a while, he returned, packed his things and prepared to go to Niutou Town.

Ling Ran didn't go, he asked himself to stay and guard the house.

Thinking that they had to keep someone at home, Shui Qing and Fan Jin didn't insist.

It was cold and windy outside, so Fan Jin laid a thick layer of straw on the cart. Shui Qing put a hat and scarf on Yan Qiuxing and set off.

The Hu family has a simple population, and since Hu Wenhua is not married, there is no need to go to the father-in-law's house.

The three of them were at home early waiting for Shui Qing to come back.

Hu's mother was busy making food.

There was no one else at home today, so she cooked a big pot of rice and made a lot of fluffy rice cakes with fermented rice wine and rice milk.

Knowing that my daughter's family was not short of oil and water, they did not burn all the fat meat, but stewed a ribs soup with dried straw mushrooms in it.

Cut the pork belly into thin slices and make it into braised pork belly with prunes.

Stir-fried bacon with garlic, steamed salted fish, steamed egg with minced meat, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, stir-fried spinach.

Hu Wenhua took out seven cups and put brown sugar in each cup. He waited for his sister and her family to arrive and soaked them in sugar water to moisten their throats.

The butcher Hu was pacing in the small yard, sometimes sticking his head out to take a look, and sometimes sticking his head out to take a look.

He muttered: "In the past, it was just that my legs were slow to walk. Now there are bullock carts. Why haven't you arrived so late?"

"It must be that boy Fan Jin who is not good at driving, so he wasted time!"

Hu Wenhua knew that his father was impatient and couldn't wait, but he didn't blame him because he often wondered why his sister hadn't arrived yet.

You can't blame the nephews, nor your sister. Naturally, you can only blame your brother-in-law for being slow in driving.

After finally seeing the bullock cart approaching, Butcher Hu turned around and entered the house, sitting on a chair.

Hu Wenhua: .....Pretend! So good at pretending.

He greeted her, "Sister, is it cold? Come in quickly!"

Shui Qing feels really cold.

There was no sun today and the cold wind blew on my face. I sat on the trolley for most of half an hour and couldn't move. My feet were numb and cold.

Except for Fan Jin, everyone else rushed into the house after their legs became more flexible.

Butcher Hu, who was sitting next to the brazier, quietly gave up his seat.

He turned to the kitchen and soon brought out a small brazier that was burning brightly.

Hu Wenhua: .....His father is so attentive.

Auntie is still capable and can teach well!

As soon as this idea came into my mind, my father glared hard and shouted, "Where's the sugar water! Your sister and nephew are still cold."

"Ouch, come on, come on!" Hu Wenhua felt that he was not unfair at all.

The small room was packed with people, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

There was no famine, no war, and peace and harmony. Looking at a room full of relatives, Butcher Hu felt that such a life could not be better.
