New Year’s Money

Outside the beggar's nest.

"Wait a minute."

Li Xiaodao stepped forward and stopped the person to explain his purpose.

The beggars took the corn pancakes, bowed and thanked them, and ran to the entrance of the town, wishing they could put on wings.

Fat Miaoer was a little confused when she saw this.

Wei Shu explained: "The old lady of the Wang family believes in Buddhism and gives gifts several times a year. She will give out some steamed buns, white flour, and sometimes some coarse cloth or worn clothes."

"oh!"

Fat Miaoer pointed a little. No wonder these beggars were so anxious. They only gave things, and they paid attention to a first come first served method.

"Brother, second brother, let's take the rest back and freeze it, and keep it for us to eat it ourselves."

Looking at the seven or eight corn cakes left in the basket, Fat Miaoer suggested.

"Okay, let's go back quickly. There are so many dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, so Abacus and Ye'er are too busy." Wei Shu said.

The three of them packed up their things and drove their donkey cart back to Dashi Village.

When passing by the entrance of the town, I saw a long team extending from the entrance of the town to the town, and from a distance, it looks like a dragon.

"So many people!"

Fat Miao'er looked at the long queue and said in surprise.

"When the Wang family gave alms, not only beggars went to receive them, but many families with difficult lives also went to receive them." Wei Shu explained.

The donkey cart continued to move forward and soon reached the front of the team. A group of servants wearing uniform clothes were busy.

The two were selling steamed buns, two of them each, two of them were selling white noodles, one bowl for each, and two were in command.

These two commanders, Pang Miaoer and others, met them, and they were Xiuzhu and Xiuqin who brought them ten taels of silver.

"So rich!"

Looking at the bags of white flour on the ox cart behind the servant, Li Xiaodao couldn't help but sigh.

After his thoughts changed, Li Xiaodao felt relieved. The Wang family was the largest family in the town, and they were all over Yulin County. They could even pay ten taels of silver if they found a cat. These white flours were nothing.

"Brother, don't be envious. We will be richer than this in the future."

Fat Miaoer said confidently.

Looking at Fat Miao'er's expression, Li Xiaodao shook his head and laughed, thinking that this was a joke from a child.

He didn't know how much money the Wang family had, but in his opinion it was just a mountain to look up to.

When the few people arrived home, Liuye and compass had cut all the dishes into pieces, and the chicks were put into the pot and simmered them on a low heat, and the fragrance wafted in the yard.

Li Xiaodao unloaded the donkey cart, put the corn cakes into the jar, and went to the kitchen to chop the meat filling and cabbage, which was prepared for making dumplings at night.

Cabbage brings all wealth, which means that there will be a lot of wealth next year.

Fat Miaoer returned to the west room and changed into her new cotton jacket.

I just went to deliver corn cakes to the pointer, so I wore an old cotton jacket. Now she didn't have to do the work at home. She was going to change into new clothes and go to Li Hongzao to play with.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw Zhou Laosan walking towards me.

"father!"

Fat Meow called out sweetly.

"Why!"

Zhou Laosan responded, walked quickly to Fat Miao'er, held her in his arms, and lifted her feet into the yard.

In the main hall.

Zhou Laosan said to the five people: "Your Majesty asked me to call you to go home for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Zhou Laosan said his purpose.

"Uncle San, we have agreed. This is our first year together. We don't go anywhere, just spend our time at home."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaodao rejected Zhou Laosan's proposal.

"Don't bother, you can live with your dad. You have prepared a lot of dishes at home."

Zhou Laosan continued to persuade.

"No dad, thank grandpa for me on my behalf." Fat Miao'er answered.

Seeing that the few people were determined, Zhou Laosan stopped forcing him and reached out to take out five red paper bags from his arms, and handed them to Fat Miaoer one first.

"What's this?"

Fat Miaoer reached out to take it and opened one of them. There were fifty copper plates inside.

"This is the New Year's money that Dad prepared for you. I originally planned to give it to you after the New Year's Eve dinner. Since you don't go, Dad will give it to you in advance."

"Thank you dad!"

Fat Miao'er did not refuse and put it in her arms happily. This was the first red envelope she received and must be kept well.

Then he turned around and handed the remaining four to Li Xiaodao, Wei Shu, Compass and Liu Yeer.

"No, no, Uncle San, I can't ask for it!"

Li Xiaodao waved his hands repeatedly and refused to accept it.

Seeing this, the compass that had reached out to pick it up retracted.

Zhou Laosan looked at me: "The elders give me, you must not refuse. You are my daughter's righteous brother and sister, and I am my junior Zhou Laosan. It is natural to collect my New Year's money."

Seeing Zhou Laosan say this, Li Xiaodao stepped forward, reached out to take the red paper bag, and said to Zhou Laosan: "Thank you, Uncle San!"

Seeing Li Xiaodao's actions, several people stepped forward to take the red paper bag, thanked him, and happily put it away.

They are all children, and no one wants the care of their elders? Although Fat Miaoer gave each person a hundred pocket money the day before yesterday, it is different from this New Year's money.

"Okay, there is still work to work at home, so I'll go back first."

"Remember, don't let your breasts know." Zhou Laosan reminded.

"clear!"

Fat Miao'er blinked, looking like she knew everything.

Zhou Laosan smiled silly and scratched his head embarrassedly.

The fifteen entries he once gave to Fat Miaoer when he was dilapidated, just like the two hundred and fifty entries now, were the private money he saved by Mrs. Zhou.

Now he is the deputy envoy of the river and pond, and filial piety during the New Year and Festival is indispensable. Apart from handing over to himself, he can always leave some behind.

"Dad, I'll give it to you."

Fat Miaoer was dressed neatly and walked out of the main hall with Zhou Laosan.

At the gate of the courtyard, Fat Miaoer hesitated and said, "Dad, I saw my second uncle coming out of the gambling house."

"Um?"

Zhou Laosan was stunned and then said, "Dad knows. After the New Year, Dad asked your second uncle."

"good!"

Fat Miaoer nodded heavily, and she reminded Zhou Laosan to let him pay attention so as to avoid any trouble in the future.

"Dad, goodbye, I'll go to greet grandpa and grandma tomorrow morning."

"good!"

Zhou Laosan patted Fat Miao'er's head and turned around and left.

Fat Miaoer jumped to Li Hongzao's house.

The Li family went to the room.

"Little fat Miao'er is here, let Grandpa Li see, are you fat lately?"

Doctor Li got off the kang, picked up Fat Miao'er and put on the pad.

"Well, I'm fat, it seems that the food is good."

Doctor Li laughed loudly and did not hide his love for Fat Miaoer.

"Isn't it good to be fat?" Li Hongzao interrupted.

"Okay, okay, the fatter grandpa likes it."

Doctor Li said with a smile.

"snort!"

Li Hongzao's little nose was banned and took the fat cat's hand to the table where melon seeds, pastries and candies were placed.

"Pang Miaoer, try this candy cube. It was made from my grandfather's medicinal herbs. It tastes sweet and sour, and it also relieves greasiness. It only makes a batch during the Chinese New Year."

After hearing this, Fat Miaoer picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, her eyes lit up.
