Grandma is old, sleeps lightly, and usually has the habit of getting up early. The sound of shuffling mahjong cards woke her up at some point. When she walked into the back room, she didn't speak. She coughed twice in a low voice to show her severity.
and displeasure.
"Do you want to have breakfast? No more fun, no more fun."
Sister-in-law Shen Dongmei casually pushed the mahjong set into the table and began to count the pile of change under her buttocks, "Who lost? I won more than two hundred..."
"I lose."
"I lose too."
Shen Haitao and Shen Chunfang knew they would definitely lose without counting the money, which shows how bad the cards were in one night.
"I won more than ten yuan, haha." My uncle Shen Haibo put the more than ten yuan on the table honestly, "I have nothing but nothing. I didn't take any capital. This is all a win. Whoever wants to take it can take it."
"I want it." Shen Dongmei grabbed more than ten yuan before the two losers reached out.
"You won and you still rob?" Shen Haibo was really speechless.
"Didn't you take it out on your own initiative? My brother and sister didn't want it either. I had to do it reluctantly. Alas, it's a waste of effort to spend more than ten yuan." Shen Dongmei got the advantage and behaved well. She was talking here.
By that time, everyone was already busy putting away the mahjong packages.
"How old are you, and you still fight for it like children? Do you think the children will laugh at you?"
Grandma slapped Shen Dongmei's butt as a symbolic punishment, and then called to Shen Chunfang and Liu Fengyun, "Hurry to the ground and follow me to the kitchen to heat up the food. After breakfast, you can have a good rest."
"Oh Mom, I'm so old, why don't you spank me? Isn't it embarrassing?"
"You still know how to be embarrassed? No matter how old you are, you still don't have a serious look. That girl Ting'er has learned from you, no matter how old she is. I'll see if she doesn't piss you off when she grows up."
Grandma mercilessly complained a few words, did not continue to pester, turned around and went to the kitchen, aunt, sister-in-law, and mother followed behind, while father, brother-in-law, and eldest uncle were half lying on the kang, stretching and stretching their muscles.
"I really admire you, aren't you tired from playing mahjong all night?" Shen Dapeng lay lazily on the kang, holding the pillow and rolling left and right to drive away the mediocre sleepiness in his brain cells.
"Aren't you tired from serving the office all night? My uncle will give you a good thing as a reward for your hard work."
Shen Haibo took out two brand-new hundred-yuan red bills from the compartment of his wallet and carefully put them into Shen Dapeng's hands, "These are Leopard Numbers 888 and 999. I got them with great difficulty. I gave you an advantage."
"Uncle, if you like to collect the Leopard, you can keep it for yourself. I will spend the money randomly. What a waste."
When the New Year's bell rang at midnight, Shen Dapeng, Wang Shenxin, and Li Ting had already received the New Year's money. The uncle was not a big leader or a big boss. He earned hard-earned money from working in Chengyu Real Estate. How could Shen Dapeng have the nerve to ask for it?
Uncle's money.
Shen Dapeng was embarrassed, but some people didn't care.
Li Ting was sleeping next door. She didn't know whether she woke up naturally or was woken up. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked to the door of the back room. She happened to see Shen Dapeng and Shen Haibo pushing one hundred yuan red bills. She was not polite.
, jumped onto the kang nimbly and quickly, holding the two red tickets tightly in his hands.
"What are you doing? You have money and no one wants it? You don't want me to ask for it. This money is enough for me to buy a lot of lollipops."
"Hey, those are new banknotes taken out from the bank. You little girl is already crumpled into a ball, ah ah..."
Shen Haibo watched the brand-new banknotes being crushed into balls in Li Ting's hand, feeling heartbroken, but he couldn't argue with an ignorant child, so he could only cover his heart and comfort himself.
"It doesn't matter whether it's new or old. My mother said, money is for spending. As long as I don't buy toys that harm money, I can eat whatever I want. Whoever eats gets it. Eat more and you will be in good health."
"Your mother is really telling the truth. With your small body, you can probably eat better than the little piglets in Aunt Li's backyard." Shen Haibo rubbed Li Ting's little head lovingly, and Li Ting's originally ladylike hairstyle suddenly became sloppy.
, coupled with the swollen eyeballs in her pajamas, she suddenly looked like a pitiful little doll.
"Hey, little piggy is so happy. He eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats. He doesn't have to learn multiplication tables. One to one equals one, one to two equals two, five to five to thirty-five. It's all a mess. How difficult it is."
"Fifty-five thirty-five? How much is five-seven?" Shen Dapeng couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Fifty-seven...five-five..." Li Ting blinked her big watery eyes and suddenly laughed awkwardly, "Hey, I know five-five-twenty-five. I'm testing you, I'm afraid you don't know."
"Sophistry." Shen Dapeng flicked Li Ting's head, and Li Ting rolled her eyes hard in return.
The food was quickly heated up. The New Year's Eve dinner on the table last night was once again full. There were still a lot of cooked food, cold dishes, and dumplings in the kitchen that were not served. The family gathered around the table again, but most of them were full.
Dark circles.
"Hey, this table of dishes can't be eaten until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Shen Haitao's dumplings stuffed with pickled vegetables and meat are so delicious that they taste even better when chewed in your mouth.
"There are so many people. If you work hard, you can finish it in two days. Come on, eat more meat. It's delicious." Grandma kept picking up food for everyone, as if she was assigning tasks, more like feeding pets.
.
"Feng Yun and Dapeng, I, we will go to Lishumen early tomorrow morning and go back to Fengyun's house to have a look." Shen Haitao ate by himself and revealed his plans for tomorrow.
"Leaving tomorrow?"
A trace of reluctance flashed in the corner of Grandma's eyes, but she still showed a kind smile, "Feng Yun's mother is not easy at all. She has brought up so many promising children. Go back tomorrow and take care of the old girl for me."
"Well, grandma, I'll bring it for you. The key is that I'm anxious to collect the New Year's money. This is my only chance to make money throughout the year."
"You brat, you are talking nonsense every day, but you are an educated college student living on New Year's money?"
Shen Dapeng resolved the embarrassment with a joke, but was hit on the head by his grandma's chopstick. It hurt, but was unusually warm. If possible, he hoped that someone could always hit him, instead of entering society as an adult and being punished by society.
Some cunning people have left us covered in bruises.
The breakfast was eaten very quickly. The old men put down their dishes and all lay down on the kang to rest. However, the poor women had to busy themselves with clearing the table and washing the dishes.
The Chinese New Year is a day of holiday and rest, but basically everyone has to work harder than usual during the Chinese New Year. After all, staying up late to eat, drink and have fun is also a hard job.
After the carnival, there was calm boredom. There was loud snoring in the room. Shen Dapeng woke up after squinting for more than two hours. He stood up to see that everyone who stayed up late last night was still sleeping soundly. Wang Shenxin was tutoring Li Ting on writing on the table in front of the window.
While doing homework, there were occasional sounds of pot lids in the kitchen. It was probably grandma working on dinner in the kitchen.
