We are all brothers and sisters in the clan, chatting and laughing, and the laughter is constant, which has become a unique lively scenery in the clan.

Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.

In the patriarch's home, just after giving out the lucky money to the younger generation, he heard bursts of hearty and cheerful laughter coming from outside.

"It's the children who have arrived." The patriarch's wife smiled on her lips, "There are quite a few people who came to hear this voice. The boss brought out the snacks for everyone. There are not many children who come to pay New Year greetings. Each one grabs a handful of snacks."

There are too many children, and their family cannot afford to give them copper coins; they can't even afford New Year's Eve silver. They only have snacks that can be shared by each person.

"I know, mother." The eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch's family turned around and went out, and came back with a cloth bag before anyone arrived. She put the cloth bag on the table, first grabbed part of it and put it in a small basket on the table.

"Uncle, aunt and uncle, we are here."

Hearing his voice, the patriarch's wife burst into laughter and glanced at her husband, "These children are so lively. They remind me of the carefree days of my youth."

"Well, you should be happy about the good days." The clan leader nodded.

The two of them were sitting in a high seat in the main room. Mingyi and others did not go into the room after entering the courtyard; there were too many people, about twenty or thirty people came, and if they went in, the room would not be able to accommodate them.

The house of the patriarch's family is relatively spacious. Although it is a thatched house, one can tell at a glance that this family knows how to live well.

"Happy New Year to my eldest uncle and aunt. I wish you and your eldest aunt auspicious stars in the new year, good health, harmonious siblings, and a prosperous family business. I wish the Cheng family peace and stability, plenty of food and clothing, and a happy life."

"Good good!"

The patriarch walked out of the main room, followed by the patriarch's wife holding a bamboo basket, and his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson carrying bags.

"Get up, get up, you are all good children; come, come to your aunt's place to get some snacks and sweet things for each of you. In the new year, uncle also wishes you joy, happiness and bustle, and success in your studies. ,To succeed."

Cheng Mingyi and others laughed loudly, "I'd like to lend you your kind words."

Cheng Mingli took a step forward and said, "Thank you very much, Patriarch Bo Jiyan."

The patriarch stroked his beard and smiled, watching a group of juniors queuing up to get snacks; the patriarch's wife distributed candies and other snacks, each person got a small handful, but everyone was very happy.

They have few opportunities to eat sweets on weekdays. Their families are not wealthy and their family members are reluctant to buy them, so they have no chance to eat them.

The Chinese New Year is the only good opportunity to indulge in eating sweets.

When she walked out of the patriarch's house, Mingyi had two bags of candies in her pocket; they were stuffed by the patriarch's wife. She was the only one with this specialness. Fortunately, she was the youngest among the brothers and sisters, so she got some preference. No one will say anything disturbing.

She transferred to the village chief's house, and then to the houses of various tribesmen. They passed by to pay New Year's greetings one by one. Each house received a handful of snacks. After leaving, not only was the linen bag slung across her shoulders full, but also her two pockets were filled with snacks. No more.

On the way back, the brothers smiled and teased.

"Yiyi has the foresight to bring back a bag of snacks when he goes out. These snacks can last for several days, right Yiyi."

Mingyi raised her head and gave him a "knowing look".

Cheng Mingxin couldn't stop laughing, "Yiyi, you have the brainpower to sew a bag for your brother's books and use it. It's very convenient to put things in. How about you give this bag to your cousin?"

"That won't work. I just made this bag for the Chinese New Year. If you want my eldest aunt and second aunt to make it for you, don't look at my bag."

"Hahaha."

The little girl's behavior of protecting food made several brothers laugh out loud.

Mingyi pursed her lips, why am I so happy to tease her. "What are you laughing at? You don't have enough things to carry?" Mingyi pulled her brother and left, not wanting to pay attention to the several brothers who followed behind. They didn't know what the situation was, and they seemed to have turned on the switch of teasing children.

Weird.

Running home, Mingyi poured out all the snacks for her parents.

Cheng Mingli also poured the things he was carrying on the table. The brother and sister moved in sync, pushing a pile of snacks in front of their parents.

"Father and mother, you eat, the clan chief, village chief, and clan elders have given you so much."

The brother and sister went out for a trip and brought back a mountain of snacks. The couple just smiled and divided half of the food and put it away alone.

Mingyi and Mingli split the remaining half.

"You have gained a lot by going out to pay New Year greetings." Chen Daya said with a smile on her face. Her life has become more stable, and her face is no longer uneasy when she was fleeing for food. Now her face is filled with contentment and happiness.

Only those who have escaped from famine will understand how difficult it is to live in peace, and only when they understand it will they cherish it.

"Not only us, our cousins ​​also get more; just as much as my brother." Mingyi put the snacks into a cloth bag and moved to her mother to act coquettishly, "Mom, it's a pity that Cheng Mingyue didn't go. Brothers and sisters in the clan We made an appointment to go out for a snowball fight tomorrow, and my brother and I are going to play with my brothers and sisters."

Chen Daya nodded, "Then have fun. As for Cheng Mingyue, don't worry about her."

"Yeah, leave her alone." Mingyi nodded repeatedly, peeled off a candy and stuffed it into her mouth.

The sweet taste spreads in the mouth, but the sweetness is a bit cloying. After all, it is not made from fine white sugar. There is a faint bitter aftertaste in the sugar, which shows that the ingredients used are not good.

After staying with their parents for a while, Chen Daya went to help cook, and then the brothers and sisters left.

After walking out of their parents' yard, they gave some snacks to their grandparents; this was considered as a sign of filial piety from the grandchildren, as they had good things to remember their elders!

Cheng Mingyi and his brothers were also dividing the snacks they got. The two brothers Dafang gathered the snacks together and divided them into four parts; Cheng Yuandong and his wife had one share, Cheng Mingyue had one share, and the two brothers Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Minglian had one share.

As for Cheng Mingyi's wife Wang Fengya, that is included in Cheng Mingyi's share.

It's easier to divide the second house into three, one share for the parents, and one share for each of the two brothers.

In Cheng Dazhu's yard.

Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua sat at the table, looking at the snacks on the table, Cheng Dazhu couldn't help but sigh.

"The two children are really filial."

Luo Cuihua pursed her lips in embarrassment and did not refute until she came back from lunch; Luo Cuihua was lost in thought looking at the snacks on the table. When Cheng Dazhu asked, he found out that the second bedroom of the first and second bedrooms did not send one, and Luo Cuihua was heartbroken.

Cheng Dazhu chuckled, "Look at you, you are so old, but you still care about your children's food."

"I don't care about the food," Luo Cuihua said with a stern face, "The two youngest ones know how to care about us and send us some good things, which makes me happy; the others didn't send them at all."

Now it seems that my husband has good taste!

Look at the details and look at the overall situation.

Whether they care about them or not, whether they need them or not is one thing, and whether their grandchildren take them to heart is another thing.

If Mingyi and the others didn't send them as gifts and there was no comparison, it wouldn't matter if the other grandchildren didn't send them as gifts; after all, there would be no harm without comparison, and the harm would be great with comparison.
