Soon Li Hongyuan took Chen Jingjing out to pay New Year greetings. No matter how old he was, whenever he came to his door, he would give him some melon seeds and peanuts.
When he came back, An Qing's two big pockets were full. The neighbors were like this, they would grab a handful no matter how much they had.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the youngest son of the Li family, Li Hongqi, came home.
Zhang Xinlan felt heartbroken as soon as she walked in.
"I thought you weren't coming back today. Have you eaten? I'm going to make something for you now." Zhang Xinlan said and walked to the kitchen.
Li Hongqi stopped her: "Mom, you don't have to do anything to eat."
When he walked to the main room and sat down to drink a cup of hot water, Li Hongqi saw other people in the family coming over and greeted each one with a smile.
"Tell me about you. You are still in school. What kind of work are you looking for outside? You haven't come back for years. If you weren't far away, I would have gone directly to your school to drag you back." Zhang Xinlan couldn't help but say two things.
sentence.
"Yes, your eldest brother and I are still at home about making money. You don't have to worry about it. You can just study peacefully." Li Daqiang felt sorry for his son.
"Mom, there's no need to buy any more, these are enough." Jing Jing's food was a little greasy.
Especially when I saw the greasy meat dishes, I lost my appetite.
Four hundred yuan is a lot of money. If the two daughters-in-law knew about it, especially the second daughter-in-law, they might be asking for this money under some pretense.
"Mom and Dad, I know. In fact, I am looking for a temporary job while reviewing. It will not delay my studies. If I make some money, my family will not have to pay for my living expenses." Li Hongqi's thin face showed a simple and honest expression.
"Girl, if you want to eat anything else, just tell mom and I'll buy it for you." Chen Mei was very happy. She was even happier that her daughter and son-in-law were back for dinner.
Lao Li's family has always been proud of their achievements, often ranking first.
Li Hongyuan walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't do this again. If you don't have money, just write to big brother and he will send it to you."
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when she was going back to her parents' home, when Zhang Xiulan was preparing things for An Jing to go back to her parents' home, Li Xiuxiu was watching from the side, fearing that she would take away more things.
I have to say that my brother-in-law is a sensible and excellent person. He goes to high school alone and still has to work odd jobs.
Chen Mei was shocked: "Hongyuan doesn't know?"
After meal.
Li Hongqi went to his room to rest, and everyone in the living room dispersed.
When Li Hongqi heard the sound, he turned around and saw that his little sister's belly suddenly got bigger!
After dinner, I didn't leave in a hurry. Instead of going back to my mother-in-law and being bored in the room, I might as well chat more with my parents here.
The two stayed together all afternoon. When my brother and sister-in-law came back, they hadn't left yet.
Then she couldn't accept it even more, because it would be bad if the couple quarreled over this matter.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he also realized that it was not good to open the red envelope in person, so he gave it to his son: "Quickly say thank you to aunt."
Jing Jing planned to stay for dinner. To be honest, the food cooked by her mother was more delicious than the food cooked by her mother-in-law. Maybe it was because her mother was reluctant to put in the oil.
Jing Jing didn't care about this, and directly stuffed the red envelope into their hands: "Mom and Dad, I know what you mean, I am your daughter, and it is only natural for me to give you money. Please put this red envelope away quickly, don't let it go."
Hongyuan saw it."
The weather was very nice, especially at noon when the temperature rose.
The two children are several years old, and this is the first time An Jing has given them red envelopes.
After An Jing left, the couple opened the red envelope and looked at the 200 yuan inside. Chen Yongchang handed the money to his wife: "You should keep this money. Don't let those two boys know. Let's just keep it for our daughter.
It doesn’t cost her anything.”
Even if Li Hongyuan knew about it, he wouldn't say anything. It's not his money.
"I understand, thank you, brother." Li Hongqi smiled shyly.
Finally, Anjing took Li Hongyuan, two chickens and a fish back to her parents' home.
Jing Jing nodded: "He never knew how much money I earned, and he never asked me. Anyway, I can spend it however I want."
Chen Mei actually didn't want to accept it, but her daughter insisted on giving it.
She sat quietly and didn't interrupt. Her brother-in-law had just come back and asked him to have some fun with his family. She just listened.
Anjing moved a small bench at the gate and basked in the sun with his eyes closed. His whole body felt warm and comfortable.
She makes dumplings at home all day long and eats them every day. She almost eats them!
"This matter is complicated. I'll explain it to you later. Hong Qi, I'm quite tired along the way. Do you want to go get some sleep?" Zhang Xinlan took over.
The rest of the days were spent in quiet boredom.
This day.
If you are in the city, you can read novels and make clothes to pass the time when you are bored, but there is really nothing to do in the village.
Li Ping had sharp eyes and took the red envelope from her son's hand, opened it in front of him, took it out and saw that there was actually ten yuan!
She thought a dollar would be good.
Chen Mei knew that her daughter was coming back today, and her two daughters-in-law had taken the children back to their parents' home, so she specially took out the fish and meat in advance to prepare for lunch.
The high school curriculum is so tight, I don’t know how he does it.
Why didn't he hear about this!
Jing Jing took out two red envelopes and gave them to his nephew and niece in front of the whole family.
This discovery shocked him and he immediately sat up: "My little sister is married?"
This surprised the two sisters-in-law.
Ever since I found out that my daughter had earned so much money, I felt relieved and a little proud, and I was happier than usual this year.
Zhang Xinlan still knew in her heart that even if her daughter was unhappy, she still had to prepare the things that should be given and the etiquette.
Jing Jing didn't care so much. Before leaving, she came to her parents' room and gave them both a red envelope.
Li Xiuxiu heard the noise and walked out of the house. She was a little weak from morning sickness, cheered up and said with a smile: "Second brother, why are you coming back now? This year has passed, and my parents have been talking about you in front of me.
.”
"Not yet, but soon." Li Xiuxiu smiled and didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"My parents have money. Now that you have made a lot of money, you can keep it for yourself. You don't need to give it to us. If the family has no money and your two brothers still have it, there is no need for you to take the money." Chen Yongchang said.
own considerations.
"Daughter, what are you doing? Why do you give me a red envelope from your parents when they are so old?" Chen Mei pushed it back without intending to take it.
"I know." Chen Mei found a place to hide the money.
After a while, I heard someone talking.
Anjing opened her eyes and blocked the sun with her hands before she could clearly see the person in front of her. It turned out to be her neighbor Aunt Liu.
"Aunt Liu, there is a bench in the house."
Aunt Liu waved her hand: "Quiet, I won't sit down. Do you know that the news about your family has spread throughout the village?"
