After setting off firecrackers and eating dinner in the morning, children from all over the village visit each other to wish each other a happy new year.
Starting with the closest cousins, each family is visited to wish them a happy new year.
Every household had already prepared melon seeds, peanuts, candies and the like to entertain them. Some families would also give a few cents or a dime to close relatives or favorite children.
At this time every year, Wang Zhaozhao always follows Wang Xingwen and the others.
Then they would call people and wish them a happy new year...that is to say auspicious words, then drink tea and eat.
"Wang Zhaozhao, aren't you in school? How can you say the same thing as us when wishing you a happy new year? You should say something different."
Hey! I see Wang Zhaozhao fooling around behind me, trying to cause trouble.
"Wang Goudan, New Year's greetings are just New Year's greetings. Do you still need to bring out a flower? A great man once said that we farmers should be pragmatic and not ostentatious."
"Did a great man say such a thing? How come I don't know it?" A child named Wang Goudan asked the people around him.
I just found out about this too.
Wang Zhaozhao raised her chin with a spoiled look, "You've never been out of Hebian Village, so it's not surprising that you don't know."
Wang Goudan was unhappy when he heard this. "I've been to Hebian Village. My aunt married in the next village. I've been there."
"Tsk tsk." Wang Zhaozhao shook his head and patted him sympathetically. "The world outside is huge and exciting. You should read some books if you have the chance and try to travel far in the future... well... at least go to a town."
Hearing this, Wang Goudan suddenly became proud and said complacently, "Next year, when my eldest cousin gets married in town, I can go there."
Well.
Wang Zhaozhao pursed her lips and gave him a thumbs up.
Wow~ That’s great.
"Host, you are really something, bullying a child." The system couldn't help but complain about Wang Zhaozhao.
"I'm only ten years old, not much older than him, okay?!" Wang Zhaozhao curled her lips. They were all children, so how could she bully children?
"...Don't you have memories of your past life?"
"I'm only ten years old then."
“…”As long as you are happy.
The system almost ended the call, but then realized it wasn't just picking on the host out of boredom, so it quickly got down to business. "System Task: Receive three thanks and receive one physical skill point."
A line of words appeared on the wall of the system space. Wang Zhaozhao's mouth twitched as he looked at it, because the words did not appear directly like before, but were typed out one by one like a typewriter, and were accompanied by typewriter sound effects.
"Is this the effect of your upgrade, or did you deliberately change to a different... um... special effect to show that you've upgraded?"
Wang Zhaozhao asked sincerely.
Nothing else, just too boring, looking for something to talk about.
If she were to go around the village to pay New Year's greetings alone, she would not be able to do it.
She is socially anxious and afraid.
Even if there is a red envelope to receive, she will refuse it.
In fact, she didn't want to come just to fill in the numbers.
"Host, you're overthinking it. This is the effect after the upgrade." The system's mechanical voice was extremely serious.
oh.
After finishing the New Year's greetings at Wang Xiangdong's house and preparing to go to the next house, Wang Xiangdong's wife pulled Wang Zhaozhao and stuffed melon seeds into her pocket.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Wang Zhaozhao thanked him obediently without any hesitation, and even took the initiative to open his pocket.
On days like today, children's clothes and pants are all equipped with pockets, which are large and deep and can hold a lot of things.
A handful of melon seeds at this place, a handful of peanuts at that place. After running around like that, it was difficult to walk.
Because the pockets are full, bulging and heavy.
The sun was high in the sky, and Wang Baojia shouted that he had to go back. He was carrying too much and had to pull up his pants every few steps.
"You are so sincere." Wang Xingwu patted his shoulder, and he felt gloomy.
Wang Xingwu was startled and quickly grabbed his hand and lifted it up.
So, the group went back.
In the main room, several people sat in a circle, plucking handfuls of melon seeds and peanuts onto the table.
"Hey... why are you searching your pockets here?" Shi Haiyan went to the toilet and came back to see that scene, and shouted anxiously.
"They should all be taken into your room, right?" Xie Ailian asked back.
"...No, haha." Shi Haiyan felt inexplicably cold and shook her head repeatedly.
Today is the first day of the new year, she can't and doesn't want to be scolded.
But my heart is bleeding.
Not only did she let Wang Baojia wear clothes with lots of pockets, she also made him wear clothes with elastic cuffs for a year so that when the pockets were no longer full, he could stuff them into the cuffs.
Melon seeds and peanuts can also be wrapped in yellow paper like candy and used as gift packages for visiting relatives.
Even if that's not the case, you can put it away and eat it slowly.
"Grandma, I won't go with my brother and the others." Wang Zhaozhao suddenly said to Xie Ailian.
Shi Haiyan rushed to say, "Why not go? Are you stupid? If you don't go to their house, they will come to ours... It's a blessing."
"If that's the case, Third Aunt, you'd better not have any contact with anyone in the future and just be a stink bug that no one cares about." Wang Zhaozhao couldn't help but retorted.
What kind of person is this? If you're so fussy, you should just stop living.
When Shi Haiyan heard this, she immediately became angry and raised her hand to hit her, "You little bitch, how dare you talk to your Third Aunt like that?"
Bang!
Xie Ailian slammed her palm on the table, "Shi Haiyan!"
Of course, Wang Zhaozhao would not just stand there and let her hit her, so she jumped away nimbly.
Shi Haiyan, who was yelled at, shook her hand unwillingly. Xie Ailian then said, "Don't go out. Just stay at home. If other children come, you can let them play with you."
Wang Xingwen and the others had no objection. They were a little tired after running across half the village.
Shi Haiyan was furious.
But she could only be angry. Instead, Wang Weiguo took out a candy from his pocket, peeled it, and handed it to her mouth, asking her to eat it.
She took a look, opened her mouth and bit it.
Not long after, a group of children came. They ate some melon seeds together and soon started playing together, arm in arm.
Finally, there were three girls left.
Wang Qingqing remained silent as usual, playing with a little wooden bird, while Wang Jingjing kept moving closer to Wang Zhaozhao.
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao thought for a moment, then went to get two notebooks and wrote a number on each page from 1 to 10. "You two sit on each side and start writing 1."
What little wooden bird should I play with? What should I call my second sister? I'm going to school in the second half of the year, so let's start learning numbers now.
"Ah, second sister is going to teach us how to write?" Wang Jingjing clapped her hands excitedly.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
Don't get me wrong, I just think you're annoying.
"Look! I'll only explain it once. Hold the pen like this, then write a vertical line in the middle of the grid, from top to bottom. That's one."
In order to get some peace and quiet, no matter how impatient Wang Zhaozhao was, he still demonstrated it carefully once, uh, twice.
Then, "Write it yourselves and fill a page before lunch."
"Okay, second sister."
Wang Jingjing was excited and grinned at Wang Zhaozhao. Unfortunately, Wang Zhaozhao had already tilted his head and lay on the table, as if he was about to fall asleep. Then he looked at Wang Qingqing...
Wow! He's already sitting up straight, holding his pen, and writing...
