90s Little Struggle

Chapter 256 New Years
Grandma Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's expensive enough. It seems that your school is also pretty good, and you can earn a lot of money."

Originally, she was worried about Xiao Hong in her heart, worried that it would be difficult for her to find a job after graduation.

Don't worry now, with her ability, she can earn a lot of money without going to college.

Zhao Laosi also said cheerfully: "Xiao Hong is very smart, otherwise we can all make money."

Mother Fan was a little restrained, and she smiled and flattered at this moment: "Thanks to Xiao Hong, we are able to have what we are today. We just hope that the bosses will have a prosperous business, and it will get better every year, so we can remember it." Rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade."

At the same time, she also stated that she will not be ungrateful, and she is willing to follow her in the future.

Xiao Hong was a little embarrassed by the praise, so she quickly toasted to change the subject: "I wish each of us a prosperous life, cheers!"

Although the cup was filled with milk tea, it made her drink like wine.

Everyone smiled and toasted, those who drank alcohol, those who drank milk tea drank milk tea, not to mention how happy they were.

After drinking and eating, everyone cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, and put on the fruit plate.

Melon seeds and peanuts are a must, as well as peanut candy, toffee, candied dates, prunes, raisins, and the most expensive ones are pecans.

The sugar cane delivered by Yan Hong yesterday was also very popular.

Liu Haibo also came over with a few friends to wander around, and then continued to call friends and go for a walk on the street.

Xu Xinning and Yan Hong also called to pay New Year's greetings, and the neighbors who came to visit also seemed lively.

After ten o'clock, Xiao Hong and the others felt that their eyelids were fighting, and Grandma Zhao and Zhao Laosi both took out red envelopes and gave their sisters three as lucky money.

And judging by the thickness of the red envelopes, they are all about the same.

Anyway, Zhao Yanyan was very happy to receive the thick red envelope, so she couldn't help opening it immediately, only to find that there were ten pieces of one yuan inside.

However, the two red envelopes add up to 20 yuan. Zhao Yanyan is so happy that she can't wait to jump up. She especially likes to go to the small shop next to the school to spend. bag.

With so much money, she can buy a lot of snacks.

Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang looked at each other, adults are blatantly partial.

They all knew in their hearts that they must have more red envelopes than their younger sister, which would hurt the younger sister's young heart, and the two were going to open it after returning to the room.

Sure enough, the red envelopes that grandma gave them were 1000 yuan each, and the red envelopes that their stepfather gave them were [-] yuan each, which was really too much.

The two sisters felt that it was a bit hot to hold, so they went to call their mother over to talk about it.

Wu Julan couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "I heard she said it was 200 yuan, but it must be because you bought them such expensive things that you only paid [-] yuan."

He couldn't help but sigh: "The two of them now have a combined salary of 320 yuan a month, and they don't need to spend money on food and lodging. It will take five months to save this money."

"But this is New Year's money. If you don't accept it, will they be unhappy instead?"

"Besides, this year when you come to the provincial capital to celebrate the New Year, and you still have your third uncle's share, you will be given so much. I also want you to take care of your third uncle more in the future."

Now her in-laws are helping in their store, which really saves her a lot of worry.

However, sometimes she can't help but wonder in her heart, who will the parents-in-law earn money from them in private?

Now seeing her in-laws being so generous to her two daughters, she is of course very happy.exist
As for Zhao Laosi giving them so much, it was because none of the sisters wanted the dividends from the store in their hometown. After discussing with the couple, they decided to give them a big red envelope every year in the future.

After the mother and daughter chatted for a while, Wu Julan left, not forgetting to urge them to go to bed early.

But when it was twelve o'clock, I was woken up by the deafening sound of firecrackers.

When the firecrackers stopped, I fell asleep in a daze. There was another burst of lively spring and the sound of firecrackers welcoming the spring.

When I got up the next day, the door was covered with red firecracker crumbs.

However, no one will clean it before the fifth day of the first lunar month. According to the elders, it is to avoid sweeping away one's own fortune and wealth.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, they ate dried longan, red dates, sweet soup boiled with lotus seeds, and shelled hard-boiled eggs.

Come early in the morning with a bowl of sweet, sweet soup with a good meaning, which satisfies the appetite.

The custom here is that on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, after going to the grave to worship the ancestors, they will go to relatives' homes to pay New Year's greetings.

According to the previous agreement, Zhao Laosan will stay and will not leave. He will live on the second floor before Zhao Laosi and the others live, and the mother and daughter of the Fan family will also live on the third floor. When it's dark, light up the red lanterns.

The most important thing is to add some popularity to the new house.

And Xiao Hong drove the old van and took his family home first.

There are still a lot of vans and cars on the provincial capital road, but there is no traffic jam.

After leaving the provincial capital, there were fewer cars on the road, Xiao Hong specially asked Xiao Fang to drive, and sat in the co-pilot to embolden her.

After driving for more than three hours, the sisters finally arrived in Houzhai Town.

First set off two large strings of firecrackers at the door of the store, and then continue to drive back to my hometown.

Xiao Fang dared not drive this winding mountain road.

In fact, even Xiao Hong felt a little guilty.

However, she is the eldest sister, so of course she can't admit that she is cowardly, and she is driving the car with all her attention, for fear of encountering a bullock cart or a tractor on the opposite side.

Fortunately, she was lucky and returned to Zha Village smoothly.

After the car was parked, many villagers came over curiously and asked non-stop. Both Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao talked about new things about going to the provincial capital for the New Year with smiles on their faces.

Even if she has only been to department stores and movie theaters, she has seen the world.

What's more, the two granddaughters are filial, and they bought them brand new from head to toe.

She was worried that others would not be able to see the gold earrings on her ears, so she stretched out her hands to rub her ears, and complained hatefully: "The gold earrings are heavy, and I'm not used to them at all."

"But their sisters are filial, so they insisted on buying these for my old woman." Grandma Zhao smiled like a chrysanthemum: "I'm old, and I'm still wearing gold and silver, so I'm not used to it at all."

Anyone who could hear the insincere in her words knew that she was showing off.

I'm so angry, I really don't want to take care of her, but when they think that the chickens and ducks they raise now have to be harvested by Zhao Laosi and Xiao Hong, they can only boast sincerely: "Old sister, you have a good life, and your children and grandchildren are filial." .”

"That's right, sister-in-law, you are lucky, and the good days are yet to come?"

Wu Julan originally wanted to go home to cook a late lunch, but Boss Zhao has been paying attention to the movement at the entrance of the village, and quickly came to invite them to eat at his house: "Feifei said that you are coming back today, we will wait for you to come back and have lunch together.
