After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Adults from several families also came with the children to pay New Year's greetings. After the children knelt, the adults knelt next. Grandpa Qin and grandma Qin were so busy that they helped the children and then helped the adults.

"This is New Year's money for you. Take it. Don't refuse it. Otherwise, it will be a loss of face for us two old people." Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin gave red purses to all of them.

Qin Liupo and his wife were not polite at all and immediately took the red purse: "Thank you, Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law. After so many years, you still love us the most."

Then he said to the younger generation, "We old couple are old, it's time for you to show respect to us."

Not only do they not give the younger generations New Year’s money, they also want the younger generations to give them money.

Uncle Qin was amazed at what he saw and said to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, "Mom and Dad, please don't call your son a scoundrel in the future. He learned this from his sixth uncle and aunt!"

Qin Liupo and his wife were not happy with this and said, "Erzhuang, don't make such a fuss. You obviously learned bad things outside. What does this have to do with us?!"

Qin Cunquan was afraid that they would quarrel during the New Year and ruin their good fortune, so he came over to pull Uncle Qin: "A Zhuang, it's rare that we have free time during the New Year, let's go to the guest house to drink tea, watch the snow and chat."

"Don't pull and tug." Uncle Qin pulled back his arm and said, "I'm a rough man. I can't do the elegant things you mentioned. Find someone else to play with."

Little Qin Jingyi looked at him, then looked at his own father...Uncle Erzhuang still didn't like his father.

Aunt Qin was afraid that Qin Cunquan's family would lose face, so she pulled Su to show her the gold hairpin on her head: "Look, my cousin, isn't it dazzling? This is the gold hairpin given by Old Madam Guan... and these brass earrings, also called earmuffs, were made by Xiaomi, and there's also a silver one. All we need is a bracelet to complete the jewelry set."

She also told Su her birthday, as if she wanted Su to give her a bracelet.

As soon as Qin Xiaomi entered the house, she burst into such a lively atmosphere. The coldness on her face disappeared, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Aunt Qin.

……

The excitement continued until the early hours of the morning when Xu Zhengmao's wife, Mrs. Tao, came to report, "Master, my husband said that the heads of the various families in the village have brought their children to pay New Year's greetings to you. Do you want to see them?"

The Qin family had already prepared the guest house, ready for the villagers to come and pay New Year's greetings. Grandpa Qin said, "Take them to the guest house. I and the old woman will go to meet them."

"Yes." Tao hurried to report.

"Dad and Mom, I'll go with you, so that you won't suffer any harm!" Uncle Qin followed Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin to the guest room.

But Uncle Qin was worried for nothing.

Families with the surnames Hu, Huang, Qian, Sun, Chai and Zhang all depend on the Qin family for their livelihood, and they understand the Qin family's rules, which are to restrain the younger generations and not let them make trouble.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin looked at the children of these surnames. They were very pleased to see that they all had jackets and cotton shoes on, and that their faces had some flesh on them. They were no longer the skeleton-like faces they had when they first settled down.

After the children paid their New Year's greetings, the two elders opened the box and handed them red purses: "Here are your New Year's money. Take it."

"Thank you, village head lady!" The children were so happy to receive the New Year's money that they forgot the adults' instructions and started chattering.

The adults from several families were very tactful. After paying New Year's greetings, they took some New Year snacks and left.

Huang Ernv didn't want to leave. She stood in the house and finally shouted, "Village head grandmother, if your family needs any work, please think of me. I'm not sick and I can work. I'm Huang Ernv from Huang Duogui's family!"

Then he hurriedly said, "Grandma Village Head, calm down. I'm just talking. I don't mean to steal your job. It's okay if you don't want to give me a job. I won't bother you."

She just wanted to find a way out for herself... Her parents didn't like her, so she could only plan for herself, otherwise, in two years, she didn't know where her parents would sell her to?

However, she came from a poor family, had an average appearance, was illiterate, and had no skills. Even if she was sold, it would be impossible for her to be sold to a good family.

"Second daughter, you are a disrespectful person, get out now!" Huang Laoer quickly scolded her, and apologized to Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, and the other families: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know about it beforehand, it was all the child's own idea, our Huang family definitely didn't let her say that on purpose to snatch the quota of female workers in the workshop."

Several families had a tacit understanding that they could not compete for the job and had to wait for the Qin family to make arrangements.

Huang Ernu's words broke the rule, and the other families would definitely hate the Huang family.

After hearing this, Huang Ernu knelt down, kowtowed to everyone, and left the room.

"Village chief, I'm sorry. When we go back, our Huang family will give her a good scolding and won't let her have the chance to disturb the Qin family again." Huang Laoer apologized and promised.

Grandma Qin said, "Don't scold the child. We don't blame her."

If anyone should be blamed, it should be Huang Duogui and his wife!

It was a very cold day, but Huang Ernu came to pay New Year's greetings. She was wearing a gray jacket with holes, through which yellow cotton and straw fluff could be seen.

How can a half-old cotton and half-straw quilted jacket keep you warm? !

Thinking that Huang Ernu had a hard time, Grandma Qin said to Huang Laoer: "If you can, please help her... She managed to survive the journey of fleeing famine."

Huang Laoer said hurriedly: "Don't worry, my husband and I will take good care of the children."

"Thank you for your hard work." Grandma Qin said, and after a few more pleasantries, she and Grandpa Qin sent them out of the west of the village.

After returning home, Grandma Qin told Qin Xiaomi about Huang Ernu's matter.

Qin Xiaomi said, "Grandma, her parents are not good, so the workshop will never hire her to work. If she is hired, it might be a big hidden danger."

This?

Grandma Qin was very sad: "The second daughter has had such a hard life. She is so thin and her face is purple from the cold."

Qin Xiaomi: "Grandma, who doesn't suffer? Didn't our families suffer in the past? We worked hard to get through it."

My dear grandma, you can't be a saint.

but……

"Grandma, we can't hire Huang Ernu as a worker, but we can ask Xue Dongjia or other families to help her find a job. It's best to find a job far away so that she can stay away from her family and have less blood sucked."

"But she has to be brave enough to work far away. If she doesn't have the courage, no matter how much help we give, it will be in vain." Qin Xiaomi looked at Grandma Qin and said with a smile, "Grandma, let's have a good New Year first. There's no rush for her. Let's see what kind of person she is first."

"Okay." Grandma Qin agreed.

However, she still found an old cotton-padded jacket and a pair of old shoes and asked the servants to give them to Huang Laoer's wife, who then gave them to Huang Ernu in her own name.

The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, people from each village began to visit each other to pay New Year's greetings. People from several surrounding villages, including Lujia Village, came to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa Qin.

Grandpa Qin also asked Uncle Qin and Qin Cunquan to go to neighboring villages such as Zhoujia Village, Kaihe Village, Niutoupo Village, and Wujia Village to pay New Year's greetings to the village heads.

Nanny Chen, who was by Madam Guan's side, also came to the Qin family to pay New Year's greetings and gave the younger generations golden gifts, which made Jiang Xiaozhu so happy that she wanted to recognize Madam Guan as her grandmother.

When Nanny Chen saw that Grandpa Qin and the others were all safe, she smiled and said to Grandma Qin, "It snowed heavily on the day Village Chief Qin returned to the village. Our uncle and old lady have been worried. Now that everyone is fine, they can finally rest assured."
