New Year's Day is a good day.
Song Jiayu was wearing new clothes at this moment. It was a bright red short jacket, with a Zhao Qiuqin brand high-necked apricot sweater underneath, a pair of black slim-fit trousers, a pair of cotton shoes, and an apricot beret. Every strand of her hair was draped properly on her back, black and straight.
Let’s talk about Jiang Baizhou. He was wearing a large army green coat, a black turtleneck sweater inside, black pants, and a pair of brown leather cotton shoes. Because of his slender figure and long legs, the way he walked was like those tall and handsome male models of modern times.
After the couple finished their breakfast and walked out the door, their good looks attracted everyone's attention.
"Dad, Mom, we are here to wish you a happy new year. We wish you good health and all the best."
After arriving at the next courtyard, the young couple first greeted Jiang's father and mother with a happy new year, and then said happy new year to the families of Jiang's eldest and second brothers.
The children of the Jiang family are probably the happiest people during the Chinese New Year.
They lined up in order of height and greeted the youngest uncles and aunts first.
Jiang Chengxin could only speak in short, characteristic and interesting sentences, "Happy New Year, little uncle, little aunt, give me the red envelope."
Song Jiayu thought the one-year-old, less than two-year-old, was really fun. She took out the red envelope she had prepared and said, "Here, Xiao Chengxin, do you know what a red envelope can be used for?"
"Buy, buy some candy!" The little kid said this with a slurp in his mouth, as he was tempted by the candy.
The little girl Jiang Wanyi said New Year's greetings quietly and cutely: "Happy New Year to my uncle and aunt~"
Song Jiayu, who particularly liked the little girl, responded and quickly took out the red envelope and a small red headband, put it on the little girl, and said curiously: "It's so beautiful. This is a small gift from your aunt."
Jiang Wanyi likes brightly colored things. She blinked her big eyes and said thank you obediently.
Soon it was the turn of the two brothers Jiang Chengshi and Jiang Chengyi. As they were older, they talked more and their long string of New Year greetings amused everyone in the main room.
"Oh, I received your New Year's greetings. I'd better keep some of them and tell grandpa and grandma about them later."
Jiang Chengyi from Jiangcheng City got the red envelope he wanted and nodded happily.
Then they visited Jiang's parents and paid New Year's greetings along the way. They received red envelopes from Jiang's father and mother. Each child received four red envelopes. They were so happy that they smiled.
But as long as they are cubs, they cannot escape a certain law.
Mrs. Jiang called her two sons over and said with a smile, "Let me see the red envelopes. How much New Year's money did you get?"
Jiang Chengyi, who was about to show off, gave it, but his brother Jiang Shishi was reluctant to give it.
Mrs. Jiang counted them carefully and found that she gave each of her children ten cents, the second son's family gave the same, the third son's family gave twenty cents, and her parents-in-law gave fifty cents.
What a great harvest!
After receiving New Year's money from both sons, Jiang Dasao said softly, "This money is too much. It's not safe to keep it in your hands. If you lose it, you won't be able to buy the things you like."
"What should we do then?" Jiang Chengyi asked worriedly.
Mrs. Jiang revealed her true colors: "Mom saved it for you. If you want it, come to me and get it." As for whether she would give it to them or not? Most of them would not give it to them. Every family spends so much money on children, so they don't waste it!
"Okay, Mom, you must save it well for me." Jiang Chengyi handed over his New Year's money.
Faced with the pressure from his own mother, Jiang Chengshi had no choice but to hand over the New Year's money. He looked at the New Year's money he had just received with disappointment, and then looked at his brother who was full of joy. My dear silly brother, you can't get your New Year's money back!
After paying New Year's greetings at the old Jiang's house, led by eldest brother Jiang and his wife, even the four children followed closely behind, they first paid New Year's greetings to several families in the compound, and then left the compound. They went to pay New Year's greetings to those who were older than them in Tianwen Lane, as well as those who had a good relationship with the old Jiang family. If they met the same New Year's greeting team on the way, they would also pay New Year's greetings to each other.
This kind of lively scene was still very rare for Song Jiayu.
Especially when entering the main hall of someone else's house, no matter what their family background is, the elderly people will smile, warmly entertain the young children, and fill their pockets.
After a round of New Year's greetings in Tianwen Lane, more than half an hour later, the four little kids returned to Lao Jiang's house and took out their pockets, and found that Lao Jiang's candy box was half full.
No wonder everyone wants to have more children.
This is called giving away and letting the child earn it back.
Looking at Jiang Chengshi's heroic and high-spirited appearance, Song Jiayu couldn't help but laugh. It was really great to see this scene!
Not long after the couple returned home, Gu Siyi and Lin Xue, who had also followed Brother Gu for a round, came over with Xiaotian in their arms.
"Come here, my dear son, wish your Uncle Jiang a happy new year. If he doesn't give you New Year's money, I will beat him up!" Gu Siyi asked his son to speak.
Xiaotian was very respectful to his father and said in a baby voice, "Uncle Jiang, Happy New Year!"
"Hey, this is a red envelope. Don't learn from your dad." Jiang Baizhou put the prepared red envelope in Xiaotian's chubby hand.
Xiaotian, who was very sensible, turned to Lin Xue and said, "Mom, here you go."
Lin Xue, who was favored by Xiaotian, accepted the red envelope with a smile. Gu Siyi, who was disliked by his youngest son, blamed Lao Jiang and said, "Look, it's all because of what you said. My son won't kiss me anymore."
"Hehe——" Jiang Baizhou responded with a sneer.
Not long after, Wen Yun and Chang Shi, who had just finished their New Year's greetings, also arrived.
"Happy New Year~"
Everyone says this, and they are no exception.
Wen Yun looked around at Song Jiayu and said, "Not bad, the dress I made is very suitable for you. The bright red color looks good on you too."
Song Jiayu raised her head proudly: "There is no color that doesn't look good on me."
Xu Qinghuan, who had just entered the main hall, heard this:
When everyone gets together, it's of course the most appropriate thing to do is gossip.
"Guess who I met today when I followed Shitou to pay New Year's greetings?" Wen Yun's words aroused everyone's interest.
"Who is it?" Song Jiayu grabbed a handful of melon seeds for everyone. It was New Year's Day, and they could eat as many melon seeds as they wanted.
"Hey, this guy is related to Xu Qinghuan. Remember the deputy director's son?"
At Wen Yun's reminder, Song Jiayu recalled the past of Xiao Min, Xiao Xu and Xiao Man, and everyone's eyes turned to the protagonist of the gossip, Xu Qinghuan.
But there was no change in the expression on his face.
"Xiao Min married Xiao Man last year, right? But he's really despicable. During their marriage, he hooked up with a beautiful lesbian named Xiao Li and even promised to divorce Xiao Man. But now that lesbian has gone to show off in front of Xiao Man, she got so angry that she fell down the stairs. Not only did she give birth prematurely, but she also gave birth to a sickly little son."
"After this incident, Xiaoman was disappointed with Xiaomin and wanted a divorce. But Xiaoman's family and the deputy director and others all advised Xiaoman not to divorce. Xiaomin even dumped that woman, saying she would treat Xiaoman well. The whole compound was saying that Xiaomin had turned over a new leaf and Xiaoman would have a good life from now on!"
