The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

After staying up all night, they yawned and went back to their rooms to sleep when daybreak came.

The Jiang and Tang families in the county had no relatives, so there was no need to pay New Year's greetings. On the first day of the New Year, the two families closed their doors and rested at home.

At the exact time of Si, there was a knock on the door of the Jiang family. Qi responded by hurried out from the backyard and asked as she walked towards the door, "Who is it?" She was very surprised. Who would come to their house to pay New Year's greetings?

The voice outside the door answered, "We are here to wish Sister Jiang a happy new year."

Looking for the eldest granddaughter? Qi opened the door suspiciously, only to see seven or eight children standing outside.

Qi asked curiously, "Who are you?"

A little girl stood up and called out sweetly, "Grandma, Happy New Year, is Sister Jiang here?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Qi quickly opened the door and welcomed them home.

"Thank you, grandma." The children thanked Qi in unison and followed her to the backyard in an orderly manner.

"Your sister Jiang was on night watch yesterday and has just fallen asleep. I will wake her up." Qi smiled and took Xiaoyao to the door of the west wing in the backyard. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, calling softly, "Muxia, someone is looking for you. Get up quickly."

Jiang Muxia was sleeping soundly. She was upset when someone disturbed her sweet dream. She frowned and forced herself to sit up. She asked lazily, "Grandma, who is it?"

"A few children, they said they were from Tuanyuanju."

Jiang Muxia woke up with a start. She responded while getting dressed, picked up the comb on the table under the window, straightened her hair, braided it casually, and opened the door with a "whoosh".

She closed the door and greeted the people standing outside with a smile, "Happy New Year. It's so cold outside, why don't you invite them in, grandma!"

"I invited them, and they insisted on waiting for you." The granddaughter came out, and Qi took Xiaoyao and Xiaonan to the main room.

Jiang Muxia stopped and waited for Daqi and Huzi who were walking behind him.

"After the Lantern Festival, I need people to clean up the wasteland. Twenty cents a day. Who wants to work with me?"

Da Qi bowed and apologized, "I am weak. My sister needs help. Hu Zi will go. I will continue to weave lanterns with the others at home."

Jiang Muxia didn't say anything and looked at Hu Zi.

Ever since she proposed to send the child to the nursery, which annoyed him, he always seemed to have a gloomy face when he saw her. He didn't know whether it was because he had an unresolved knot in his heart or he had some opinion about her.

"Okay." Hu Zi simply said a word and followed him into the main room.

After Qi added charcoal to the stove, he left on the pretext of making lunch.

Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Jiang Muxia to make sure the children stay for lunch.

“Sit down!?” She took out some fruit to treat the children. In the cold winter, the children were very happy to eat fresh fruit.

"Sister Jiang, we won't stay any longer. We came here just to wish you and your grandparents a happy new year, and then we'll go back."

Da Qi was firm in his words, so she didn't force him to stay. She said "OK" and went to the east wing to call Jiang Yuzhou and his wife and Jiang Yuqing.

Jiang Muxia gave red envelopes to everyone on behalf of Jiang Yuzhou and his wife, and the children said goodbye and left. Xiaoyao came to the kitchen in the front yard and said to Qi, "Grandma, we are back. We will come to see you at home another day."

Qi was so anxious that she put down the spatula in her hand and shouted, "No, no, you have to stay and have lunch before leaving." She wiped her hands on the cloth twice, took Xiaoyao's hand, walked into the yard and repeatedly tried to keep her.

"No need, grandma. We have to go back." The children held hands obediently, said goodbye to everyone, and left the Jiang family together.

Qi's eyes were full of regret. After more people had passed by, she pulled Jiang Muxia to the stove and asked the question in her heart.

"They are a group of ambitious orphans who live in the north of the city and support themselves with their own hands."

Qi couldn't help but sighed, "It's really hard for them, they are so young. I think the youngest is only five or six years old!"

Jiang Muxia nodded, and then told Qi about their experience.

Qi angrily cursed, "You damned kidnapper, you will get your retribution sooner or later. Alas, I'm afraid you won't be able to find Hongxin from your aunt Jun's family."

Jiang Muxia was silent, thinking of the news from Weidong, she was afraid that Jiang Hongxin was in danger. She didn't dare to tell Aunt Jun about this news, she was afraid that she couldn't accept it and her condition would worsen.

She stepped forward and snatched the spatula from Qi's hand, saying helplessly: "Grandma, I brought you home so that you can enjoy life. You've been busy since early in the morning, what's the difference between that and working in the village?"

"Of course it's different. I'm happy working here." Qi took back the spatula and chased her out. "Go back to sleep. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

"No need to sleep, I'll cook with you."

Lu Chaoyun changed into a neat outfit and went to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and started washing vegetables. "Let's do it together, it will be faster. Qiangang said he has been away for many years and wanted to go to the Jujube Temple in the north of the city to worship. He said Lianrong had a hard pregnancy and the Jujube Temple is very powerful. He went to worship and ask the Jujube God to bless them and their child."

Qi sighed, "Qian Gang is the only good one in the eldest son's family. The others..." She shook her head, extremely disappointed with her eldest son.

After lunch, Qi, Lu Chaoyun and his wife took Jiang Qiangang on foot to the north of the city to worship gods.

Jiang Yuqing took a few children home and closed the door to take a nap.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the Jiang family of five borrowed a carriage from the Tang family and drove to their grandmother's home in Lujia Village, Xing'an Town, north of the city.

Lu Chaoyun was thinking about his nephew whom he hadn't seen for many years. He had no relatives in the county and was afraid that he was having a hard time.

Lu Xinning is the most promising child in their family. He is working in the county and is very busy. If I don't see him this year, I'm afraid it will be even harder to see him in the future.

After the Beginning of Spring, the wind blowing on the face was no longer biting. Mu Tao and Mu Yang opened the curtains on both sides of the car and leaned their heads out to look at the scenery on the roadside.

The two children were detained in the restaurant throughout the winter. Although they started running along the ferry in November, they were so tired every day that they had no mood to look at the scenery around them.

"Sister, look, there's a hedgehog digging a hole in the ditch over there." Jiang Muyang pulled Jiang Muxia's sleeve and shouted happily.

Jiang Muxia smiled and nodded, only to hear him shout again: "Ah, a snake swam out of that hole, my god... the hedgehog shrank..."

The mother and daughter couldn't help but smile as they looked at him shouting.

Through the car window, Jiang Mutao was quietly looking at the dead trees and grass, smiling and stretching out her hand to feel the wind and clouds of early spring.

The carriage drove to the south bank of the river in Lujia Village. Lu Chaoyun lifted the curtain in front of the carriage and told Jiang Yuzhou, "Let's go to the cemetery first. I won't come on the third day of the New Year."

Then the carriage turned north and drove a mile before stopping at the edge of a field. Beyond the field was a forest, and beside the forest were tombs scattered in an orderly manner.

Before they arrived, there was already a bullock cart parked on the side of the road.

Lu Chaoyun lifted the car curtain and his eyes fell on the woman who was kneeling in front of a grave and burning paper. He let out a long sigh and lamented in his heart that year after year, she only dared to come to the cemetery and did not dare to enter the house.
