Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Chapter 928: Pleasing Money (Additional Update 1)

All the children were saying blessings at the same time, but because there were too many people, they were talking all over the place. It sounded like ducks quarreling, and the noise made people's ears hurt.

After Lin An replied with "Happy New Year", he turned sideways and let the door open.

The children swarmed into the yard and rushed into the house shouting: "Happy New Year to Grandma Lin!"

"Happy New Year to Aunt Wanning!"

"Happy New Year to Aunt Lin Quan!"

Xu's mother stood by the window, looking at the yard crowded with children, and exclaimed: "With so many children, I'm afraid all the children in the village are here, right?"

"No, those nephews from Wang Hong's family are here. They thought we couldn't see them among the crowd!"

Xu's mother smiled and said: "Tsuenquan, those who are celebrating the New Year, don't worry about the children. After all, it was the elders in their family who made the mistake, and it would be a bit innocent to implicate them."

Lin Quan wanted to say that those children of the Wang family were not innocent at all.

Grandma Wang Hong is like her, and she usually offends many people in the village. Her grandchildren have also learned from her, and they have always been used to bullying children who are weaker than them.

But what Xu's mother said is right. For those who are celebrating the New Year, there is no need to worry about a few children, which will make everyone feel bad and make the New Year uncomfortable.

At this time, Xu Wanning was loading things into the fruit plate.

"Aning, why did you mix so many coins in?" Chen Ye asked doubtfully.

Xu Wanning explained patiently: "This is also a custom in our Dajiang Village. On the first day of the new year, the elders in the family will ask their children to go to the most respected people in the village to pay New Year greetings. Whoever has the most children proves the family's prestige in the village. It’s the highest.”

Not to mention village cadres such as the team leader and village chief. After all, they are in charge of the people in the village. As long as they are not crazy-minded, they will let their children go to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.

Therefore, every year, the largest number of children come to pay New Year greetings to the families of the team leader and village chief.

Children pay New Year's greetings early and may not even bother to eat breakfast, so the family being visited should prepare some food in advance as a way of thanking the children.

In fact, at the earliest, children who went to pay New Year greetings could get New Year's money, whether it was one cent or two cents, it was a little bit of kindness from the elders.

But then we encountered a difficult year, and every household suffered from famine. Every penny was divided into ten points to spend. How could there be any money left to give the children new year's money?

A few years later, the famine years passed, and this custom was picked up again.

Because according to previous sayings, the more generous the host family is, the more prosperous the life will be in the coming year.

But there are not many wealthy families in the village, and even if they are, they are reluctant to give out New Year's money to each child. Even if it is one cent per child, there are dozens of children in the village, and it is still a big expense.

Therefore, some one-cent coins will be placed in the food. Who can grab them depends on luck.

Xu Wanning can spend money to give each child New Year's money, but the problem is that there are few families in the village who have such conditions.

Once she opens this hole, it will only make life difficult for the captain and the village chief.

So, she also put the coins on the plate with cookies and candies.

It's just that she released more, not to mention ensuring that every child can get it, but the probability is still much higher.

After listening to Xu Wanning's explanation, Chen Ye suddenly realized.

"I didn't expect that there are so many rules in rural areas. It's not like us celebrating the New Year in Beijing, where we only give new year's money to our children."

Xu Wanning said with a smile: "Actually, there are a lot of rules in rural areas, but it is precisely because of this that they appear to be extra humane. In a village, as long as it is not the kind of feud or hatred that causes life, whoever meets it will usually If something is difficult, most people in the village will rush to help.”

"These things may sound trivial, but they can really save lives at critical moments. And the reason why everyone is so united is accumulated bit by bit."

Chen Ye said thoughtfully: "Indeed, in such a comparison, it seems that the people in the city lack a lot of humanity."

"I like this kind of New Year life more and more, Aning. I want to come to Dajiang Village to celebrate the New Year next year."

"This is a good thing!" Mother Lin said: "As long as you don't mind the inconvenience of rural life, you are welcome to come to our family at any time. Now that we have built a new house, the space is much larger. As long as you are willing, you can come here in the next few years. If you come here every year, it would be best if you invite your family to come together. The more people there are, the more lively it will be!"

Chen Ye was very moved, "When I go back, I will tell my parents more about the good things about Dajiang Village, and I will try to bring them to celebrate the New Year with me next year!"

Although he knew that his parents had to take care of several relatives in Beijing and could not easily come here with her to celebrate the New Year, Chen Ye did have such an idea.

At this time, Xu Wanning had already gone out with the fruit plate.

Before she could speak, she felt hot.

Lin An went into the room specially to get a military coat and put it on her body.

"Let me throw it for you, I'm stronger."

Xu Wanning gave the fruit plate to Lin An: "Remember, when you throw it later, remember to take into account all directions, southeast, northwest, front, left, and right. It is best to throw it evenly so that the children can all get it."

"I know, I'll try to divide it evenly."

After the children said their New Year's greetings, they stared eagerly at the fruit plate in Lin An's hand.

Grandma is right. The Lin family is the most generous family. The New Year’s greetings include not only biscuits, but also toffee, or White Rabbit toffee!

If I could eat a toffee on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it would be sweet for the whole year!

Dozens or hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the tray in Lin An's hand at the same time. He felt that he was under a lot of pressure, for fear that the distribution would be uneven and the children would be disappointed.

But there were too many children, and things were limited. There were always young and thin children who couldn't get them. Weeping and wailing could be heard one after another, and the yard was very lively.

"Aning, what should we do now?" Lin An looked at the crying children at a loss and couldn't think of a solution for a moment.

Xu Wanning spread her hands: "There are too many children, but I still have too few things."

"Let's do this, let Song Han and the others come over and give everyone a candy."

She had plenty of toffee in her space, so she took out some to share with the children without feeling any distress at all.

Moreover, giving things and giving money have different meanings, and it will not put pressure on the team leader and village chief.

"Okay, everyone, stop crying."

Xu Wanning raised her voice and said something, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

The child who was crying just now dared to sob and did not dare to cry.

Xu Wanning didn't expect that what she said could be so shocking.
