Shen Rong opened the handkerchief. The snacks inside were a little broken, but she could see that they were peach cakes and osmanthus cakes, the same as those prepared at home, but the quantity was much more than what her grandmother gave Changsheng in the morning.

"Thank you, Changsheng." Shen Rong put the snacks away, but she was guessing in her heart that these snacks should have been given by her mother.

"Did you go to my parents' house to pay New Year's greetings?" Shen Rong asked, thinking of something.

The snacks at home were all brought back by my sisters-in-law from the county town. They were the same for both families. No other family in the village would be willing to give such good snacks to outsiders.

"Well, let's go with everyone." Changsheng.

"Let's go back tomorrow to wish our parents a happy new year."

In this area, the second day of the Lunar New Year is the day for married girls to return to their parents' home.

Although Shen Rong married in this village, the same rules apply.

Changsheng saw that Shen Rong took the snack but didn't eat it, so he hurriedly said, "Give it to my wife."

Shen Rong smiled and said, "I'll put it away first. I'm going to eat soon. I'll eat it when I'm hungry in the afternoon."

Shen Rong put the snacks aside and poured the bag of melon seeds, peanuts and fried peas into the round winnowing basket.

"Wow..."

Most of the bag of melon seeds and peanuts were poured out, filling up more than half of the winnowing basket.

These snacks went around and then came back again.

Shen Rong couldn't help laughing.

The next day, the second day of the Chinese New Year, Shen Rong and Changsheng returned to her parents' home early in the morning, carrying large and small bags of things.

Changsheng raised good chickens last year, so Sixth Grandma tied up a pair of fat chickens for him, and also gave him a jar of wine brewed by Sixth Grandpa, a pound of tea leaves, and a large bag of homemade spices and dried chilies.

My sister-in-law and her family run a braised meat shop, and what they need most are chili peppers and spices. It was very thoughtful of Sixth Grandma to prepare these things for Shen Rong to take back to her parents' home.

Last year, Shen Rong's parents did plant some peppers, but not as much as Sixth Grandma did. These peppers can be considered a timely relief.

When Shen Rong returned to her parents' home, she did not see her brother, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces.

Shen Rong is going back to her parents' home, and her sister-in-law is also going back to her parents' home.

If it were in the past, the two sisters-in-law would definitely return to their parents' home a day later, waiting for Shen Rong to come back, but who made them rush to the county town to make money!

Li Fenglian and her two sisters-in-law felt uncomfortable when they thought that they would earn less money every day they came back.

So the two sisters-in-law discussed it and decided to take the child and the husband back to his parents' home to live for two days. After returning, they went to the county to open a shop.

As for whether my sister-in-law would be unhappy, I believe she would not be unhappy for the sake of the money.

When Shen Rong heard her mother talk about her two sisters-in-law's plans, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Mom, you have to remind my brothers and sisters-in-law to take care of their health and combine work and rest. If your body is exhausted, no matter how much money you make, it's all in vain."

Lu agreed, “I think so too, I advise them to rest at home for two more days and spend more time with the children.

But I just can't persuade them. They are all obsessed with money and are always thinking about the business in the shop. They used to work at home. Why didn't I notice that your two sisters-in-law are so hardworking! "

When Shen Rong saw Lu's smiling face, she knew that her mother was just talking and was actually satisfied with her two sisters-in-law in her heart.

Yes, there is no daughter-in-law or sister-in-law like this who can control their men and help them make money. You can't find one in the whole Taohua Village.

What's more, there are two more at home!

Any mother-in-law would laugh in her dreams if she had such a capable daughter-in-law.

"My sisters-in-law can make money, so mom and dad don't have to worry about it. Mom can just enjoy herself now."

Lu smiled and complained a few words.

"Your niece and nephew are still so young, and their parents are not around, so I have to take care of them. It's too early for them to enjoy themselves!"

Lu and Shen Rong were talking in the room. In the main room outside, Shen Wu was sitting on a bamboo chair. He glanced at Changsheng, who was sitting opposite him with his feet together. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a long time. Finally, he glanced at his youngest son next to him.

"Dong Ting, entertain your brother-in-law. I'm going to go out for a walk."

After saying this, he stood up and left the main room without waiting for his youngest son to respond.

Shen Dongting and Changsheng were left staring at each other beside the fire pit in the main hall.

"Hey...brother-in-law, whose house did you visit for New Year's greetings yesterday?" Shen Dongting thought for a while before he remembered this topic.

Somehow, when his sister just married Changsheng, Shen Dongting still felt that he had something to say to Changsheng, but since last year, he didn't know if he had grown up or for some other reason, he actually felt that he couldn't say a word to Changsheng.

Changsheng thought about it and recalled: "Grandfather's family, clan leader's family, eldest uncle's family, second uncle's family..."

She casually started a conversation, but Changsheng answered it so seriously that Shen Dongting couldn't help but become more serious when he saw this.

"You kowtowed to them?" Shen Dongting looked surprised.

Changsheng nodded.

Shen Dongting had a look on his face that said, "You are so stupid." "Let's not talk about the grandfather and the clan leader. As for the eldest uncle, the second uncle... you are doing yourself a disservice by bowing to those families."

Changsheng thought about the few companies that Shen Dongting mentioned that only gave him a handful of brains, and nodded seriously, "It's a loss."

Shen Dongting found it a little funny, "You still know you're losing money?

Changsheng nodded, "Only peas."

Shen Dongting smiled.

When he said he was at a loss, he was referring to the younger generations from his uncles' families who did not come to pay New Year's greetings to his parents.

"Don't kowtow to the villagers with those kids in the future. Any snack at home is better than what others give you. Is there any need to beg from others?"

As someone who has experienced this, Shen Dongting can understand his brother-in-law's childish thoughts about giving New Year's greetings to others and getting snacks.

But although he understood it, Shen Dongting did not agree with it.

Changsheng is married, so who else in the village would kowtow and wish everyone a happy new year?

Those uncles are called uncles, but they are already out of the five degrees of mourning, so there is no need to make a bow. Why do they need to kowtow?

Those people just took advantage of my brother-in-law because he was stupid.

Changsheng is going to be a father soon, but he still has to kowtow to people and wish them a happy new year with a group of children to get snacks. Not only does his sister feel bad about it, but even he, as his brother-in-law, feels bad about it.

He wanted to pick it up when his brother-in-law came yesterday, but his brother-in-law followed the group of kids, packed his things, and ran away.

He didn't even have the chance to speak.

After listening to his brother-in-law's words, Changsheng tilted his head and thought for a while, then whispered, "My wife wants to eat."

When Shen Dongting heard this, his eyebrows immediately raised, "Will my sister eat those broken melon seeds and peanuts of yours?"

He remembered that one year his sister went with him to pay New Year's greetings to the villagers. They kowtowed several times before they got some peanuts and melon seeds.

After coming back from paying New Year's greetings, her sister ate only a few peanuts and melon seeds and then stopped eating. Later, when people went to pay New Year's greetings again, her sister never followed them to kowtow and wish people a happy new year.

Changsheng said his sister wanted to eat, but Shen Dongting didn't believe it at all.

Changsheng fell into deep thought when he heard Shen Dongting say this. He remembered that his wife had poured the snacks he brought back into a round winnowing basket, and it seemed that she had not really eaten them.

"Why, was I right? My sister doesn't eat peanuts and melon seeds. What she likes to eat is the fragrant osmanthus cake." Shen Dongting said proudly.

"The people in the village are not well off, so who would give out snacks? If you want to kowtow to my sister to get snacks, you are wrong. Even if you kowtow and break your head, no one in the village will give you snacks.

So, don't be so foolish as to kowtow to others in the future. If you have that time, you might as well collect more herbs, exchange them for money, and buy snacks for my sister. That's more serious."

Changsheng listened to Shen Dongting's words, and after he understood them, the nine words "exchange money to buy snacks for my wife" slowly emerged in his mind.
