Following Wang Chunmei's voice, the aroma of dumplings immediately filled the entire front hall.

"Eat dumplings!"

Fortunately for the adults, the children immediately went crazy when they smelled the meaty aroma of the dumplings, and they all couldn't wait.

As bowl after bowl of large meat-filled dumplings and meat dishes were brought to the table, the New Year atmosphere reached its climax.

"First of all, I kowtow to my wife, grandpa and grandma to pay New Year greetings, and you can get the New Year's money!" Li Wen looked at the little people who were hurriedly preparing to eat dumplings, and quickly spoke to stop them.

The little guys who were a little unhappy at first became excited as soon as they heard about the new year's money. None of them even bothered to eat meat, and fell to their knees on the ground to kowtow to New Year greetings.

The little guys are so smart! Although most of the New Year's money they receive will not reach their hands in the end, there is still some reward for taking it back.

The elders looked at their grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed. They all smiled happily and took out the New Year's money that had been prepared in their pockets.

In recent years, the living conditions of Li Wen's family have been much better than before. Both Li Wen's family and his second uncle's family are at least two-income earners. There is also income in the village, and all the elders are not stingy, and they all only have one dollar each.

Not to mention that one yuan is a small amount, Li Wu and Li Quan's family together have close to ten children.

The old lady, Li Deyou and Li Dezhong, all paid one yuan to the children, which was equivalent to one month's salary of an ordinary worker.

Li Wen looked at this scene and was sincerely happy that his family was wealthy.

You must know that when he first traveled through time, it was very difficult for his family. During the Chinese New Year, the old lady only gave each grandson two cents, and his parents did not give any.

After the little ones have received the New Year's money from the older generation, the next step is to collect the wool of Li Wen's generation.

"Happy New Year to all uncles, uncles, and aunties!" The little guys' words of kowtowing to ask for lucky money seemed to have been rehearsed.

It's okay for Li Wen and the eldest brother to have jobs, but Li Juan and Li Ping, two half-grown girls at home, are Muggles.

Li Wen did not pay the New Year's money first, but waited for his two brothers to pay first.

The eldest brother Li Wu, like Li Quan, was also given one yuan, which should have been discussed in advance.

"Brothers, I haven't been home for several years, and I haven't given any New Year's money to my children. This time, I'm going to beat you. Don't be offended." After Li Wen finished speaking, he took something out of his pocket.

I took out seven redwood fish and handed them to several nieces and nephews.

In fact, Li Wen gave so many Hong Kong dollars to support his two brothers' families in the name of giving New Year's money to his nephews and nieces.

"I don't want it. It's a piece of shit. You're kidding me." Several children didn't know Hong Kong dollars. They looked at the gaudy banknotes in their hands and gave up.

This immediately made everyone present laugh.

"Awen, if you really want to give something, just give it to Zhang Da Tuan. Why would you give the children such a big sum of money?" Li Deyou advised from the side.

In the past few days, Li Wen had taken out Hong Kong dollars at home, and Li Deyou also knew him. He knew that these bright red ones were Hong Kong dollars, and one hundred face value was worth ten Unity cards.

Li Wu and Li Quan didn't know the Hong Kong currency. When their father and uncle explained it, they quickly refused.

"Awen, your move is almost as much as your second brother and I's combined salary for a year. This is really too much.

Besides, this foreign currency cannot be used in China, so you might as well give them one yuan." Li Wu grabbed the money from several children and passed it back to Li Wen.

"That's right, Awen, please put it away!" Li Quan also agreed.

"Brother, what does this mean? The bonuses I give to my company's employees during the Chinese New Year are more than this. This is New Year's money. Just ask your sister-in-law to accept it for the children!

Hong Kong dollars are foreign exchange and are hard currency in the country.

After the New Year, when my eldest brother drives to Chang'an, he can take Hong Kong dollars to the Youyi Store to buy things without a ticket. The home appliances I brought back this time were bought at the Youyi Store." Li Wen stuffed the money directly into the two stores beside him.

Sister-in-law explained while holding it in her hand.

"This is the foreign exchange my colleagues often talk about! So it looks like this?" The two sisters-in-law looked at it curiously while holding Hong Kong dollars.

Li Wen knew that there was little information in the country, so he did not laugh at them. Instead, he explained to his family in detail what foreign currency was.

After the farce about Li Wen giving out lucky money was over, Li Tao, Li Ping and Li Juan handed out lucky money next.

Li Tao had just started working and only had about ten yuan a month, so he paid fifty cents to his nieces and nephews, which was already pretty good.

Li Ping and Li Juan's family were really short of money, so they just paid ten cents each.

Fortunately for Li Ping, the children all know that this aunt rarely talks.

Li Juan was miserable. She usually bought snacks for herself when she had money, which embarrassed her two naughty nephews and called her aunt a stingy one. Li Juan was so angry that she chased her children all over the living room.

When children kowtow to pay New Year greetings, adult sons and grandsons like Li Wen just want to say blessings without having to kowtow.

In Li Wen's hometown, unmarried people are considered children and can receive New Year's money.

Because Li Wen was not married yet, the old lady forced him to give Li Wen one yuan as a new year's gift, causing his father to constantly tease and ridicule Li Wen.

"Okay, let's have dinner." After New Year greetings, the old lady gave the order, and everyone toasted to celebrate the New Year.

After the toast, Li Wen, his father, and everyone else ate half a plate of dumplings, thinking that they all had something to eat.

Tonight, the men will go to each family of their relatives to pay New Year greetings. Each family will eat a little to make their stomachs full.

"Alas! Awen is back this year, but Xiaomin and Yongzi are not here. I don't know if they are having a good New Year in the army." After dinner, mother Wang Chunmei and second aunt Cui Yanzi thought of their son in the army.

"Why are you sighing during the Chinese New Year? It would be an honor for our family if my son joins the army.

Didn't Xiaomin and Yongzi both send letters back a year ago, and they will come back on vacation when spring comes." Li Deyou quickly interrupted his wife's nagging.

"That's right, we are a glorious family. The year before last, Yongzi had achieved third-class merit, and the superiors are planning to promote him!" Li Dezhong was very proud of his son's meritorious service.

Li Wen was also very supportive of his two younger brothers joining the army. After all, he was the one who got the spot for the boy soldiers in the first place.

At this moment, he saw that his father and second uncle had spoken for him, but they didn't say anything. After all, it was better to be happy during the New Year.

By around seven o'clock in the evening, it was almost time for the families to reunite.

For a moment, as if they had made an appointment, the men carried one or two plates of food and their children and began to pay New Year greetings to their relatives.

Li Wen's family is still the first family, because the old lady is the oldest of her generation and is still alive.

All of a sudden, all the men from the five server clans came, and Li Wen's house was packed with dozens of people.

Because we have to visit various houses to pay New Year greetings, people come and go quickly.

Li Wen didn't show off tonight. He was carrying wine and food, and followed his father to pay New Year's greetings to his relatives one by one.
