Tian Zhuo got two cents and happily took the money to go out and show off to his brother. However, when he went out the door, he saw his brother playing with other friends, so he put the money in his pocket.
When Tian Baobao came back excitedly with a handful of firecrackers to find Tian Zhuo to set off the firecrackers, Tian Zhuo grabbed his brother and took out the two cents in his pocket.
When Tian Baobao saw the money, he was stunned and suddenly felt that the firecrackers in his hand were no longer fragrant.
Tian Baobao is not like Tian Zhuo. He is already eight years old and has long known how to recognize money. Although Tian Zhuo only has two cents in his hand, that is enough to buy two pieces of candy.
"Where did you get the money?"
"This year, I gave it to my grandma and mom as New Year's greetings. They said it was for my waist compression," said Tian Zhuo.
"Brother! I have two bills. I'll give you one." Tian Zhuo handed over a penny.
Tian Baobao was stunned, clenched the firecrackers in his little hands, and looked awkwardly at the penny that Tian Zhuo handed over. He wanted it a little.
"Forget it! This is money for you to live on. I don't want it. You can keep it for yourself."
Tian Baobao used his free hand to stuff the penny from Tian Zhuo into his pocket, then took Tian Zhuo's hand and ran out.
"I picked up a lot of firecrackers today. Let's take some firewood and go out to set off some firecrackers for fun!"
Although he was a little envious of Tian Zhuo for getting lucky money, Old Lady Tian was always fair. Since she gave lucky money to Tian Zhuo, she would definitely give him one too.
As for the New Year's money that Lin Meiyu gave to Tian Zhuo, that was money a mother gave to her son and had nothing to do with him. Besides, maybe his mother would also give him money.
He is the older brother, so how could he possibly covet the money in his younger brother's hands?
Tian Zhuo patted his pocket of money in confusion, then looked up at Tian Baobao. Although he was puzzled why Tian Baobao didn't even want the money, if he always listened to his brother, he would not think about it anymore and happily followed his brother to set off firecrackers.
Tian Tian was helping Old Mrs. Tian with her work in the house, and Chen Guihua came in at this time.
"Mom! Happy New Year!" said Chen Guihua.
When Tian Tian heard Chen Guihua's voice, she turned around and greeted Chen Guihua, "Second Aunt, Happy New Year."
Chen Guihua nodded. When she finished washing and wiping her face, she saw Tian Tian serving dishes to the table through the small mirror hanging on the wall. She called Tian Tian over and said, "Tian Tian! Today is the first day of the new year. I'll give you some New Year's money to comfort you."
As she said that, she handed Tian Tian a penny. Tian Tian looked at the penny and didn't think it was too little. She didn't pretend to refuse and took the money with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Auntie."
When she returned to the living room to serve the dishes, she saw Lin Meiyu washing the pot. She leaned over to Lin Meiyu's ear and whispered this to her.
"Okay! Since it's the money your aunt gave you, just keep it." Lin Meiyu didn't say anything else except this.
After informing Lin Meiyu about this matter, Tian Tian accepted the money with peace of mind.
Let adults handle their own affairs, and children like her should just focus on collecting money.
They had eaten up all the New Year's Eve dinner last night, leaving only some dumplings, which were not enough for their whole family.
Old Mrs. Tian went outside and took out some of the sticky rice dumplings, pancakes, and leftover dumplings that she had made before the New Year and put them in the pot to steam. After that, she quickly fried some sauerkraut. The meal for the morning of New Year's Day was ready.
After the meal, Chen Guihua gave Tian Zhuo another penny.
After Lin Meiyu finished washing the dishes and learned about this, she called Tian Baobao over and gave her two cents. Old Mrs. Tian also gave Tian Baobao one cent.
Tian Tian felt a little amused as she watched the movement of equal exchange of money between the eldest and second eldest families.
No one suffered a loss in this case, except that Old Mrs. Tian really gave the money away.
But this is a happy incident for everyone, as you can tell by the excited expressions of the two little guys.
Tian Tian also reached out and touched her pocket containing money, feeling a little happy.
She can't go out to earn money now, so she can only live on the New Year's money. As the saying goes, if you have money in hand, you will not be worried. Although the money is not much, it also brings Tian Tian a great sense of security.
Tian Tian went back to the house and put this year's New Year's money and the money she had saved before together, and then put them in her little shell.
Just after coming out of the shell, Lin Meiyu asked outside Tian Tian's room: "Tiantian, we are going to your uncle's house, do you want to go with us?"
Tian Tian didn't want to go because it was too cold outside. Although she was wearing several pairs of cashmere pants, such tight pants would become uncomfortable if worn too much. It was a little difficult for her to turn the pants, and it was very inconvenient to move. And she had to walk such a long way to her uncle's house.
But since the beginning of winter, she seldom saw her two little sisters, and she felt a little bored staying at home alone. She also wanted to go see Tian Yun and ask about the latest gossip in the team.
Tian Tian hesitated between gossip and the warm kang, and finally succumbed to the cold air outside.
"Mom! I'm not going! It's too cold outside!" Although they should go over to pay New Year's greetings, in fact, everyone here loves their children quite a lot and does not force the children to go with them, so Tian Tian rested in the house with a clear conscience.
As expected, Lin Meiyu did not force it. She asked Tian Tian to stay in the house and not run around, and then she went out.
After Lin Meiyu and the others left, Tian Tian first went out to the toilet in the cold wind, then ran to get a few frozen pears and put them in water to warm them up. She ran back to the house with the frozen pears and locked the door. While she was on the ground, she added several large firewood sticks into the stove pit.
After finishing all the preparations, Tian Tian ran to the kang with contentment, took a small quilt to cover her legs, and took out some snacks from her shell. She ate the snacks slowly and in small bites while happily flipping through the books she had brought back from Old Man Sun. Her life was very comfortable and beautiful.
Tian Tian took two bites and then carefully sealed the bag of potato chips to prevent it from leaking.
When she had searched for food in the mall before, most of it was food to fill her stomach, and there were very few snacks. She didn't dare to eat snacks here, for fear that one day she would never be able to eat them again after eating them. This was also the second time she had eaten snacks since she came to this world, and each time she would only eat a few bites and then stop.
She looked at the frozen pear again and poked it with her hand, but it was still hard and could not be eaten.
Tian Tian sighed. There was nothing interesting to read and she didn't feel like reading anymore. She always felt like something was missing.
