Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 37
In Guangxin County, daughters and sons-in-law usually return to their parents’ homes for New Year greetings on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year.

Every household is busy entertaining their returning daughters and sons-in-law.

On the contrary, the first day of junior high school is more leisurely.

Yesterday, Jiang Jinyu's family of three went to bed too late and woke up more than an hour later than usual.

She dressed herself and combed her hair as she did yesterday.

I have to say, with yesterday’s experience, my hair looks much better today.

After taking care of myself, I strolled to the main room.

In the main room, Jiang Mingshun and his wife had just finished washing.

Jiang Jinyu smiled and bowed to the two of them: "Happy New Year, Mom and Dad, may you be healthy and make a fortune!"

Both of them were happy when they heard this.

Jiang Mingshun wiped his hands and walked forward, wanting to touch his daughter's little head as usual. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw that there were flowers and hairpins on her head, and he was really embarrassed to do so.

He could only pat Jiang Jinyu's shoulder awkwardly.

Is there such an effect?Jiang Jinyu was secretly happy. She didn't want her father to touch her head all the time. As the old saying goes, a child won't grow taller if his head is touched too much.

If wearing her hair in a bun can still have such an effect, then she can’t wear her hair in a bun every day!

Seeing Jiang Jinyu with her hair tied up in a bun and wearing new clothes, Mrs. Bai felt a sense of joy and disappointment that a daughter in our family has grown up.

Obviously in her memory, her daughter was still a child, so why was she about to grow up to be a big girl?

Jiang Jinyu didn't know that her mother was in such complicated moods. She was happy now.

Just now her father gave her another big red envelope.

"Put the New Year's money from last night under the pillow and don't touch it. If you want to spend money, use the money in it." Jiang Mingshun warned carefully from the side.

Jiang Jinyu nodded repeatedly.

She received a big New Year's bag last night. According to the custom here, the New Year's bag should be placed under the pillow and can't be taken out until fifteen years later, so as to protect the child's safety in the next year.

Her father might be afraid that she would take it out secretly, so he gave her another one this morning. It felt like another small piece of silver.

Regarding not being trusted, Jiang Jinyu said that she had to accept it happily!
Bai made steamed dumplings for breakfast, which were delicious and convenient.

After breakfast, Jiang Mingshun took Jiang Jinyu to pay New Year greetings.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we spend most of our time in the village paying New Year greetings to the elders of the same clan.

Jiang Jinyu thought it was quite interesting. There were many Jiang clan members and many elders. When she followed her father to pay New Year greetings, it was like rushing to a party. The family sat for a while, exchanged a few words and then rushed to the next family.

In previous years, when she was at home, she couldn't get snacks and fruits. Only when she went out to pay New Year's greetings could she have a few at each house.

After they left the house, they went directly to Jiang Yongsheng's home.

Even if we don't talk about the relationship of the past few decades, this is the elder Jiang Mingshun has the closest relationship with now, and he should be the first to go there to pay New Year's greetings.

Jiang Jinyu followed her father, and the two of them bowed and saluted: "Good health and everything goes well."

Jiang Yongsheng happily pulled Jiang Mingshun into the house and said blessings.

Fortunately, Huangtian Village does not have the custom of kowtowing to start the new year, Jiang Jinyu thought happily, otherwise the forehead would be three inches taller after the new year.

She followed Jiang Mingshun into the main room, originally thinking of standing there for a while until her father finished speaking, and then they could go to the next house.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yang, who always ignored her, actually called Mrs. Liu to bring her a bench.

"Mother Fish, come over here and sit for a while. There are fruits to eat here." The smile on Yang's face looked surprisingly kind.Jiang Jinyu sat over in horror.My whole body was tense, afraid that she would do something bad.

Jiang Mingshun saw that Jiang Minghui was not at home, but Jiang Mingyao had been accompanying him, so he didn't pay much attention. He just thought that the two of them were taking turns to entertain guests at home, and he didn't know that Jiang Mingyao came in just one step ahead of him.

A few people sat together and briefly talked about the recent events. Jiang Mingshun stood up and said, "Uncle, auntie, you guys are busy first. I'll go to the patriarch's house to pay New Year's greetings."

The clan leader has a large family, and all of them are relatives coming and going to pay New Year's greetings. Basically, they are all members of the Jiang clan.

Jiang Jinyu originally wanted to follow her father and say a few auspicious words before leaving like she did in previous years. Unexpectedly, the patriarch's daughter-in-law, Wang, was also very enthusiastic this year.

She pulled Jiang Jinyu to the table where the women were sitting in the back room. Jiang Jinyu glanced at it and saw Jiang Mingrong's daughter-in-law Qin and Jiang Minglei's daughter-in-law He were also there, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was good to have acquaintances, but she was afraid that there would be a bunch of unknown people inside.

Li, the eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch's family, brought Jiang Jinyu a cup of hot water from the kitchen.

Jiang Jinyu took it and put it to her mouth and took a sip. She found that it was actually sweet. She couldn't help but think to herself that the patriarch's family was so rich that he could even serve guests with sugar water.

After leaving the clan leader's home, Jiang Mingshun took Jiang Jinyu to the homes of several older elders in the clan, like his father's uncle Jiang Yuanbao's home.

The old man was still strong. Looking at them, the old man welcomed them into the house, pulled Jiang Mingshun and spoke for a long time before letting them leave.

After a round of worship, it was almost lunch time.

When I got home, I happened to catch up with Jiang Minghui and several children. Bai packed several plates of melon seed snacks for the children to eat.

Seeing Jiang Mingshun come in, Jiang Mingyao stood up happily and raised his hands to him: "Brother, happy New Year, and all the best!"

Jiang Mingshun returned the favor with a smile.

Then came the children's New Year greetings. Jiang Mingshun handed out red envelopes to each of them and asked Jiang Jinyu to take them to play.

Although Jiang Jinyu was not familiar with any of them, as the host, she would still consciously entertain guests.

She didn't want anyone to come into her house, so she took them to her parents' room, under the pretense of visiting her brother.

The tool man, Brother Jiang, was tossed over and over like this for a long time.

Jiang Jintao absently picked up a small rag doll and glanced at Jiang Jinyu's head unconsciously.

She has reached the age where she knows beauty and ugliness, and is much more sensitive to these things than Jiang Jinchun, who only knows how to get snacks.

Despite her young age, she still couldn't hold it back: "Fish Girl, where's the hat you were wearing that day?"

When Jiang Jinyu heard what she said, a warning bell sounded in his heart.

It's not that she is stingy, it's just that she was scared before.

She had a cousin in her previous life. The family situation was not very good. She dropped out of school early to get married and have children. Her mother looked pitiful and often asked her for some unworn clothes to give to her cousin. As a result, the cousin didn't know what she thought. , and later she actually started asking her mother for things.

Sometimes when I came to her house as a guest and saw what she was wearing, the cousin would refuse to take it off on the pretext of trying it on.

After she was tricked once, she never let her cousin in again.

Hearing this little cousin's words today, Jiang Jinyu immediately thought of the past.

Adhering to the principle of sailing with caution, she said: "It has been washed and is being dried."

"I washed it," Jiang Jintao felt a little disappointed when she heard this. She asked without giving up, "When did you wash it? Is it done?"

Jiang Jinyu looked troubled: "I washed it yesterday. The hair is too thick and I can't do it at all!"

Jiang Jintao then gave up and said, "Then it's a pity that you can't take your relatives with you this year."
