Volume 2, Chapter 181: New Year Greetings

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and the joyful atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

"Tsk!" Mrs. Qian sneered, picked up a small dustpan containing dried fruits from the Eight Immortals table next to her, and threw it in front of Mr. Sun.

There are red envelopes inside, which must have been specially set aside for Rokuro.

Mrs. Sun locked her eyes on the red envelopes for a moment, took the dustpan over, and said with a smile on her face: "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

Mrs. Qian rolled her eyes at her. She didn't want to curse her during the New Year, so she waved her hand and said, "Let's all go celebrate the New Year!"

Dong Youyin glanced coldly at Sun who stuffed the red envelope into Liu Lang's quilt, then turned around and followed his brothers out of the house.

Shiro's face was red with embarrassment, his eyes were filled with tears, his lips were tightly pursed, and his breathing was rapid, trying not to cry.

Shangguan Ruoli tugged at Wulang's bun.

Wulang was putting a red envelope in his pocket when he was grabbed. He raised his head and looked at his mother in confusion with his big watery eyes filled with joy.

Shangguan Ruoli glanced at Shiro.

Wulang understood and stuffed the red envelope into his pocket. He took Shiro's hand and said, "Brother Shiro, let's go and celebrate the New Year!"

All this happened to be seen by Mrs. Sun, and she immediately became anxious. She caught up with him in two or three steps, pinched Liu Lang into the creaking nest, and grabbed Shi Lang, "Little bastard, where are you running? Take the red envelope.

Hand it over, I'll leave it to you!"

After being tortured like this, Mukuro woke up and started crying.

Seeing how uncomfortable Liu Lang was being pinched, Shiro said distressedly: "Mom, please comfort my brother first."

Mrs. Sun took advantage of the situation and pinched him on the arm, "You idiot! Why don't you give it to me quickly! Are you stupid enough to wait for someone to fool you?!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Wulang and then at Shangguan Ruoli, with an expression of 'I saw it, I know it all'.

Shangguan Ruoli winked at Wulang and asked Wulang to pull Silang out. Didn't he want to fool him about what the new year's money was for?

You said you made Shangguan Ruoli angry.

It was Chinese New Year, and she didn't want to get angry with the idiot, so she said to Silang: "Silang, let's go to the hospital to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Shangguan. You can go over there in a moment."

With that said, he pulled Wulang out of the room.

Like a victorious hen, Mrs. Sun snorted coldly at Shangguan Ruoli's back, grabbed Shiro, and said viciously: "Take them out quickly!"

Mrs. Qian noticed when she heard Liu Lang crying. At this time, she couldn't bear it anymore and cursed: "You short-sighted guy! Will you die in a short while? Go to your own room!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun held Rokuro under one arm and held Shiro with the other hand, and trotted back to her house.

Shiro's tears were silent. He took out all the red envelopes and put them on the kang, turned around and ran away.

Mrs. Sun put Liu Lang on the kang, let the child cry, and began to open the red envelopes. She opened one, there were ten copper plates in it, and said disappointedly: "So little? You are stingy!"

He continued to open the red envelope until he took out the money, and then he smiled.

Old man Dong and Mrs. Qian gave two taels of small silver ingots to their son and daughter-in-law, and one tael of small silver ingots to their grandson and granddaughter. The red envelopes they prepared for their son and daughter-in-law for their juniors were all ten coppers.

Shiro ran out of the courtyard. He did not run to the hospital. He first went to the haystack where he played hide and seek during the day and cried a lot. With such a mother, what could he, a son, do?

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets are full of people, and every house visits to pay New Year greetings.

The men walked around first, while the women prepared tea, fruits, and snacks, and waited until it got brighter before going out to pay New Year greetings.

Shangguan Ruoli thought, first take the children to pay Shangguan a New Year greeting, and then come back and visit the elders in the village with the sisters-in-law.

Shangguan has taught several apprentices a lot of practical things these days, including soup singing, feeling the pulse, looking, hearing and asking, all of which are Shangguan Ruoli's weaknesses.

Unable to leave Shiro behind, he summoned a few apprentices and waited for him at the corner of the street leading to the doctor's office. Unexpectedly, the first wait didn't come, and the second wait didn't come.

Shangguan Ruoli was a little worried, fearing that Silang would be beaten, and said: "Sanya, Wulang, you go home and call Silang."

Sanya, Wulang agreed, and Sanya ran home, only to see Shilang wiltingly coming over from the firewood pile.

Wulang ran over and took Shiro's hand, "Brother Shiro, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!"

Sanya also saw that Third Aunt was pulling Shiro. She saw that his eyes were red and swollen, with distress in his eyes, so she reached out and plucked the grass leaves off his head.

Erhu, Chen Yueyue, Gao Liugen and Zhou Lidong also noticed that Silang had a red nose and green eyes, and guessed that he had cried. However, they estimated that because of Silang's face, no one asked him in public.

Shangguan Ruoli reached out and patted Silang on the shoulder, "Let's go."

The warm palms, gentle voice, and silent comfort made Shiro feel aggrieved and his eyes turned red. He quickly bit his lower lip to hold back the tears.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I can’t cry in front of everyone.

Shangguan had eaten dumplings and glutinous rice balls and was practicing Baduanjin in the yard. When he saw Shangguan Ruoli leading the children, he immediately beamed.

Shangguan Ruoli waved his hand, "Children, wish Grandpa Shangguan a happy New Year!"

The six apprentices, plus Wu Lang and Ling Yue, ran over and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed together, and said in unison: "New Year greetings to Grandpa Shangguan! I wish you a happy new year, good luck, long life, and happiness.

Safety!"

Shangguan Ruoli paid a blessing salute to Shangguan: "New Year greetings to the old man, I wish you a happy New Year, a smile, a great body, and delicious food."

She has standard etiquette, elegance and poise, and it looks like she has been trained for a long time.

Today she is wearing a brand-new lavender blouse with a wide cross-collar collar and bright purple magnolia flowers, and a crimson horse-faced skirt. She has a slim and tall figure. She has a graceful horse bun on her head and a pair of red gold trousers.

Silk peony gold hairpin. Simple and elegant, quite graceful.

Shangguan nodded with satisfaction, but he looked more and more like one of his own family members.

"Danggui, Atractylodes, and Bletilla, give them lucky money!"

Danggui is his old personal servant, about fifty years old. Atractylodes macrocephala and Baiji are two young servants, both sixteen or seventeen years old. After giving the new year's gift, they were left to serve Shangguan.

What was given to Shangguan Ruoli was a jade pendant. It was jadeite, green and transparent. At first glance, it was not ordinary.

For the children, there is a small purse of silver peanuts.

Shangguan Ruoli dug into his sleeve pocket and took out two small boxes from the space, "This is my New Year's gift to you."

The Shangguan took it with his own hands and said, "Come into the house and take a look."

Shangguan Ruoli said to the children: "Children, go to the village to pay New Year greetings and put your wallets away!"

The children cheered and ran away.

Shangguan entered the room, sat on the kang, placed the box on the kang table, and opened the box.

Seeing what was inside, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this? Is it weird?"

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Bai Shu said: "Please bring me a book."
