The Meng family was originally in a joyful mood in the New Year atmosphere, but suddenly they heard Fubao's voice. Although it was obviously good words, it extinguished the original warmth in their hearts.
Meng Shuyan didn't know that she was the one who would pour cold water on others. She saw a little man appear at the door - Zhou Chuanbai.
Zhou Chuanbai, carrying a small lantern, finished his New Year's Eve dinner and was led by his father to the Meng family to celebrate the New Year.
Eat the Years: During the Chinese New Year, the younger generation will grow one year older, and the elders will also grow one year older. The younger generations who are on good terms with each other will visit each other to wish each other a happy new year and "eat up" the one year of the elders' age. This means that the elders will continue to be young and also means that they hope that the elders will live a long and healthy life.
"Chuanbai is here to celebrate the New Year with Grandpa and Grandma Meng. I wish them happiness every year!"
"Oh hahaha good, I also hope our Chuanbai will become smarter and become a high-ranking official in the future!"
Chen was so happy that she was the first to give the big red envelope that she had prepared early in the morning.
"Here, here's the New Year's money grandma gave me."
“Thank you, grandma!”
Zhou Chuanbai has a very sweet mouth.
"This is what grandpa gave me. Take it."
Mr. Meng also gave one.
Uncle Zhou also thanked and took it, then went to wish Meng Shichang and Meng Shijie a happy new year.
Red envelopes are of course indispensable.
The three brothers Meng Shuchun are of the same generation as Zhou Chuanbai, so they don't need to celebrate the New Year. They can just wish each other a happy new year.
Seeing this, Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou became anxious and stopped eating after wiping their mouths.
They picked up the small lanterns their second uncle had made for them, and pulled their father, second uncle, and young uncle along, saying, "Hurry up, we also have to go pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa and Grandma Zhou."
Then the younger generations, including Meng Shijie and Meng Shichang, went to the Zhou family.
When they just went out, they met the Wang couple with their tightly wrapped son, and Xiu'er and her daughter, all of whom came to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Mr. Meng and his family.
As soon as they left, the four Yongxing brothers also came to the Meng family.
Logically speaking, they are servants and can pay New Year's greetings, but it is not their turn to eat New Year's food.
But this is a village, and there are only these few families, so they have to follow the local customs. If they don't come, it would seem that they are out of place.
This is necessary and shows respect for elders.
Meng Shuyan saw that everyone in the family had gone out. Apart from her grandparents, only she, her mother, and her aunt and sister-in-law were at home. She was very anxious.
She is the only daughter in the family, and the whole family is reluctant to let her go out at night, for fear that she will be frightened, especially because the weather is cold.
Even the children of the Wang family were not supposed to come out. There were only three people in the Wang family. Wang Liangli was worried about his wife and children being alone at home, so he came together.
The baby was born in Laoshan, and was delivered by Chen, so they came to pay their New Year's greetings to her and have a feast.
[I want to get a red envelope too~]
This was the first time Meng Shuyan had seen this kind of activity. She found it very interesting and lively.
Look, although most of the people in the family have gone out, many people have come.
Ji had already brought out the melon seeds and peanut snacks when the Zhou family arrived.
Their New Year's Eve dinner was almost over, so they simply put it away. They would have to eat snacks and melon seeds later, and glutinous rice balls in the middle of the night, so it was okay if they didn't eat a full meal at the moment.
Chen also had two plates of apples washed and brought out. They were bright red and looked very festive. They were sent from the palace.
A group of people were eating melon seeds, peeling peanuts, roasting by the fire and chatting, wishing each other a happy new year and telling interesting stories.
Mr. Meng and Mrs. Chen were heartbroken when they heard their granddaughter's thoughts.
They hurriedly took out the big red envelope they had prepared for their granddaughter.
"My dear grandson, your eyes are wide open. You look so energetic. Are you waiting for your lucky money too?"
Mrs. Chen loved her granddaughter so much that it was not enough.
Not to mention that she is smart and can hear people's thoughts, she is the youngest grandchild in the family and the only girl. How can she not be cherished?
As he said that, he stuffed a big red envelope into her swaddling clothes.
[Wow! Thank you, grandma! I wish you a long and healthy life, and may all your wishes come true!]
No matter how much is in the red envelope, Meng Shuyan wants this atmosphere. Although she can't speak yet, she still wants to speak.
He even smiled widely at his grandmother.
"Oh~ My dear grandson likes it!"
Of course Chen could hear her granddaughter's congratulations. She was so happy that she kissed her granddaughter several times from a distance. However, she didn't dare to kiss her for real, for fear that the smell of her own meal would stink up her grandson.
“Chuckle…”
Meng Shuyan laughed even more happily, giggling, which attracted everyone to come over and look, and they all laughed along.
A baby's smile is the most healing and contagious.
"This is from grandpa. Our darling grandson has turned one year older. I hope he will be healthy, smart, beautiful and pretty in the future!"
Mr. Meng also gave a big red envelope.
[I also wish Grandpa a happy new year, good luck and a long life! ]
“Chuckle…”
Meng Shuyan also giggled out of courtesy to show her love.
"Oh, you're laughing so happily. I know it's the New Year and you're receiving red envelopes. Here, this is from Auntie."
Ji also gave a big red envelope, which was from her private savings.
She also loves her little niece.
Meng Shuyan naturally wished a happy new year to her aunt and uncle in her heart, but Ji couldn't hear it because her uncle was not there.
After wishing him a happy new year in her heart, she also giggled in appreciation.
Ji was very satisfied with this and it was very rare.
"This is from my eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother."
The whole family didn't expect that Shu would also give it. Her action really pleased Mr. Meng and Chen.
After the whole family gave their gifts, Zhou Chuanbai also took out the red envelope he had specially prepared for his sister.
