Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading

"Crackling crackling..."

"Boom, bang, bang..."

At the zero o'clock time of the new year, every household set off fireworks and firecrackers, and the deafening sound resounded throughout the village.

From a distance, you can also see fireworks set off in more distant villages.

These days, the villagers are still improving their food and housing conditions. There are very few fireworks set off in the village. They are all cheap hand-held beads or rocket launchers. They are rarely willing to spend at least dozens of yuan. The whole village, even the most beautiful families in the nearby villages, are very pure performances of showing off their wealth.

"Brother, hurry up, I have set up the fireworks, you are too ink." The younger sister Mu Xiaoling shouted to Mu Yang in the yard from the top of the second floor.

The fireworks and firecrackers are almost finished in other people's houses, and the firecrackers at home are also finished, and the fireworks are almost finished.

"Brother Yang, hurry up, come up and set off fireworks!" My cousin knew that there were many big fireworks in his house, so he also ran over.

"Come on, come on!" Mu Yang just received a call from Xue Lu, and the two chatted for a while.

At 0:00, the weather was too cold, especially on the roof. His house was the highest, and the wind was really strong.

He put on his hat and ran upstairs with the two Buddha incense sticks that had already been lit.

Mu Yang smiled and said, "This matter can't be rushed, we're done, let's put on a finale show!"

"Brother, a hundred flowers contend!"

"Okay, sister, you're right."

Just as the night fell silent, a sudden louder sound broke the long-lost, breathless silence.

A multicolored light rose rapidly, leaving a streak of gray smoke behind.

Snapped!

A "flower" blooms in the air, blooms.

Split into countless tiny spots of light, illuminating the night sky.

Then, "Boom, Boom, Boom...", at the same time, three fireworks flew up into the sky, and the dazzling little fireworks that exploded poured down from the sky.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"woo woo woo woo!"

The sister and cousin both screamed with excitement.

Higher, brighter, louder and bigger fireworks immediately attracted the attention of the whole village.

Under this night sky, the villagers were talking about the fireworks of Muyang's house, his family was rich, his son was amazing and so on.

Some juniors in middle school may complain: "Show off your ass!

Tomorrow morning, I will drive a motorcycle with a **** my back, and set off tens of thousands of firecrackers at the back of the car. From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, and then from the end of the village to the beginning of the village, I will make sure that the whole village knows me. "

If Mu Yang knew what this villager was thinking, he would definitely approve with both hands: You are the most beautiful boy in the whole village, set off firecrackers so early to wake up people's beautiful dreams, be careful of bricks!

There were eight bundles of fireworks in total, and it took less than ten minutes to play.

The younger sister and cousin felt that they were not having enough fun, so they had to go downstairs when they saw the empty shell of the fireworks.

"Hundreds of dollars, it took less than ten minutes to burn, what a prodigal!" The mother watched TV on the first floor and laughed at her sister who was pestering her son to buy fireworks.

"It's my brother who put it away too fast. Everyone puts it in bundles one after another, but he's good. He ordered three or four at a time!" The younger sister muttered, it was the brother who was too prodigal.

However, it is really cool to put several bundles of fireworks at the same time.

"If it's not enough, I'll buy it tomorrow." Mu Yang poured a cup of hot water, it was really cold.

Sister: "Forget it, you might as well give me more red envelopes, hehe."

Mu Yang smiled evilly: "If you don't have a job, you don't need to give out red envelopes."

Sister: "Che, I will pity you, sister, and I will send you a Red Bull ticket tomorrow."

Mu Yang: "Okay, take pity on me, I don't care about posting more pictures."

Seeing his cousin come home with a flashlight, Mu Yang was not interested in chatting with his sister, and went back to sleep.

......

The next day, New Year's Day!

Mu Yang was awakened by the noise of firecrackers.

The custom of their hometown is not to go out to visit relatives on the first day of the new year, and not to eat pork.

Just after rinsing his mouth and brushing his teeth, cousin Mu Qing, wearing a thick padded jacket and hat, came over to pay New Year's greetings.

In previous years, there was no need to give this kid a red envelope, it was all given by his parents, usually 20 yuan.

If it is not a child of relatives and brothers, the elderly in the village will give five yuan and ten yuan.

Many children want to visit and give little red envelopes, but they can't stand the crowd.

In previous years, parents were also very worried about this. They tried their best not to visit, or even to go out.

Some children are very clever. If adults don't give it, they will follow, looking at you eagerly, whether you are embarrassed or not.

A few years ago, Mu Yang exchanged 300 new banknotes with a face value of ten yuan at the bank, fifty pieces with a face value of fifty yuan, and two stacks with a face value of one hundred yuan, and handed half of them to his parents last night.

Before he got up, his parents put a red envelope under his pillow, each one of 100, wishing him success in his studies.

"Why are you running, don't want the red envelope?" Mu Yang smiled when he saw that his cousin got the red envelope from his parents, ready to leave.

Mu Qing saw that the red envelope was quite large, and he had to leave to open it. He felt that this year's toy guns should be able to be bought casually.

"Brother, Happy New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai, good health and all the best."

Mu Qing shouted out the recited words very fluently, but she didn't know that health was shouted to middle-aged and elderly people.

Mu Yang threw him a red envelope, and Mu Qing took it and left with a smile, her little face flushed from the cold smiling brightly.

As soon as he went out and sat on the stone ridge, he opened his cousin's first, and found that it was two red notes. His eyes were round, and a dazzling light suddenly appeared. His frozen mouth grinned, and he didn't care about the chapped lips. Bleeding.

When I opened my uncle and aunt's, it was 50 yuan each.

"Wow, posted, posted!"

"There are remote-controlled helicopters! Who can compare to me in the village's gang bangers!"

Mu Qing couldn't help cheering. In previous years, the amount of red envelopes he added up was only more than 100 yuan, and this year it has doubled directly.

"If it's over fifty, hand in all of it, and Mom will keep it for you!"

A familiar voice suddenly frightened Mu Qing to the point of shivering. She turned around, saw her mother's cold face, and was immediately cowardly.

He had to hand it in before he got it hot. Based on his previous experience, it was too difficult to get it back.

But what we have to fight for, we still have to fight for it. The frozen little hand grabbed the ticket tightly and covered it in his stomach.

The aunt patted his little hand away and took the son's red envelope forcefully.

"Who gave you one hundred, so generous!"

Mu Qing agreed: "Brother gave it, two hundred."

"Oh, go for a walk in another house, don't bring other children to your brother's house. Keep the change yourself, don't buy toys randomly." The aunt waved, and Mu Qing had to slip away.

After seeing her son leave, she walked into Muyang's house to pay New Year's greetings. When she left, she gave Muyang and Xiaoling a red envelope of 100 yuan, indicating that she was with her husband, and she gave 50 yuan in previous years.

When Mu Yang was having breakfast, seven or eight children came to visit the house to pay New Year's greetings. All of them were given by their parents, so he didn't need to give them.

"Brother, happy new year, bring the red envelopes!"

After Mu Yang finished breakfast, UU read www.uukanshu. Before com stood up, his sister hugged his neck from behind and gave him a red envelope, "Hey, look at you poor, I'll give you one hundred!"

Then, he stretched out his hand to ask for a red envelope, and said that he would not let go of his neck if he did not give it.

Mu Yang took out a red envelope from his pocket and contained a card.

As soon as I took it out, my sister snatched it away.

Mu Xiaoling touched the red envelope and felt that it was not paper money, so she opened it and saw a card: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"The name of the card is mine, and the password is your birthday. You can get it directly from the ATM. The tuition fees and living expenses for the beginning of the school are included, and the more is yours."

"Wow, how much money is there?"

"Go check it yourself, and do more after you get good grades."

Mu Xiaoling stuck out her tongue, it was too mysterious and made her very curious.

After Mu Yang had breakfast, he and his younger sister went to the grandparents' place for New Year's greetings, and got the red envelopes from the old man.

Mu Yang gave the two elders a red envelope of 1,000 yuan each, which was enough for their usual pocket money, and they didn't dare to give too much.

On the first day of the new year, the brothers and sisters visited each other's house to pay New Year's greetings.

The next day, I will go to my relatives' house to pay New Year's greetings.

One aunt was married in the same village, and the other two were married in the next town. It was a short drive away. After visiting the three aunts' houses in the morning, they only had tea and chat without eating. In the afternoon, they went to the grandmother's house.

In previous years, it was really inconvenient to not have a car. If you couldn't rent a tricycle, you could only go by bicycle. The relatives were shocked when the Muyang family arrived by car.

In the third year of junior high, Mu Yang was going to Xuelu's house, and he had made an appointment years ago.

He was really uneasy.

During breakfast, Mu Jie from the same village came to visit, and an unpleasant thing happened.
