"No, my stomach hurts a little right now, you eat first." Ye Xiaoxiao went out the door.
[Previously, it was the host's actions that caused Li Chenyang to change; this time, it's Li Chenyang's own change of mindset. Giving you a small reward is already quite generous.]
"Uh, what you're saying is making me nervous. If Li Chenyang completes the task voluntarily, my rewards will only decrease."
"That's up to the host." The system shut up immediately, saying no more.
Ye Xiaoxiao squinted. Could she really beat Li Chenyang up a few more times? Last time she beat him, she completed two points immediately. But if she beat him up for no reason and his completion rate dropped, would she have to pay compensation?
Li Chenyang was enjoying his meal by the stove when he suddenly felt a chill. He involuntarily shivered.
"It's so hot around the stove, how can I feel cold?" Li Chenyang found it a bit puzzling.
After finishing their meal, the two of them carried the child and headed towards the old house. The ground was covered in red firecrackers all along the way, and every household had red paper scraps left from the firecrackers that had been set off. The children on the road were searching through the red paper scraps for unlit firecrackers.
Upon arriving at the old house, Li Chenyang carried two bags: one to wish his father a Happy New Year, and the other to wish his second uncle a Happy New Year.
The two grandparents were overjoyed to see their eldest grandson. The grandfather immediately held Hao Hao in his arms. The little guy is almost a hundred years old. These days, they just want to take a picture of the child to celebrate their 100th birthday.
Today, Liu Juan, the mother-in-law, secretly gave her eldest grandson a red envelope containing one yuan.
They didn't even give any to their own children. They were only so generous because they saw that their eldest daughter-in-law had made new clothes for everyone in the family.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't think it was much, but after visiting her second uncle's house, she realized that her mother-in-law was really generous today after her second aunt gave the little guy a red envelope containing two cents.
During lunch, the father-in-law discussed the third son's marriage with them; the wedding was to take place on the sixth day of the lunar new year.
When Ye Xiaoxiao goes to her aunt's house tomorrow, please inform her aunt as well.
They will notify the other relatives themselves. Because it's the third son's wedding, only the eldest and third sons will go to visit relatives this year. We don't dare bring too many children. Every family has its difficulties, and if everyone goes, no family can handle it.
So my father-in-law's idea was to divide them up among the younger ones, with two people going to each family.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, everyone officially started visiting relatives. The streets were filled with adults and children in long lines. Luckily, it didn't snow this year, otherwise it would have been slippery everywhere. Bicycles were also packed with people, one in front and one behind.
Li Chenyang rode his bicycle with Ye Xiaoxiao as a passenger. Ye Xiaoxiao was carrying her son Haohao in her arms, layer upon layer, making it quite a struggle for her to hold him.
Ye Xiaoxiao brought four gifts for her aunt's family: pastries, white sugar, a bottle of white wine, and six steamed buns she made herself. Ye Xiaoxiao didn't want to bring these, but Li Chenyang said that even these were considered very generous gifts.
Others only take two items when they come to their house. That's why Ye Xiaoxiao agreed. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
When we arrived at my aunt's house, it was quite lively, as both of my married cousins had come over today.
If it were the original owner, she would probably be very happy, but apart from being a little closer to her aunt, Ye Xiaoxiao was just so-so with everyone else.
"Xiaoxiao, I heard that your family has split up now, and the two of you are living separately."
The eldest cousin, Xu Jinfeng, was a dark-skinned and thin woman who looked quite different from the other sisters. She held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand very affectionately.
"Yes, we just broke up, not many months ago."
"Yes, it's good that they've separated. From now on, it's just the two of them living their own lives." My older cousin seemed to have quite a story to tell when she mentioned this.
Ye Xiaoxiao thought about how, in the original book, her older cousin married someone from a very remote area. It would take two hours to ride a bicycle back to her parents' home, and it was in the mountains. Getting down was easy, but getting back was difficult, as the journey home was all uphill and exhausting.
I bet my older cousin has to walk a long way to get home. I don't know what my aunt was thinking, marrying my older cousin off so far away.
This was Li Zhonghao's first time visiting his aunt's house, and he received red envelopes from all around.
However, they were mostly just one or two cents each. Added up, they amounted to about a dollar.
Ye Xiaoxiao no longer feels it's too little, because everyone does it this way.
Before leaving, I told my aunt that my third son was getting married. My aunt said it would be a good opportunity to return the favor.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, they visited their aunt's family. On the third day, they and their third brother would visit their uncle's family to wish them a Happy New Year.
Her younger siblings were also going to their aunt's house, and Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't stay idle. She had only been married for two years, and if she didn't go, she would be criticized and accused of looking down on her uncle's family, so she went along.
It wasn't until several years later that we completely severed ties with my uncle's family; all the boys in that family were already married.
Every family has several children, and one year they all came. There weren't enough seats, and my aunt got angry.
The second year, they didn't even provide meals. From then on, they said that the younger generation didn't need to go anymore; only one representative needed to go.
They said whoever lived with the two elders would go. After that, it was the sixth brother's family's turn. Those who had separated from the family didn't have to go.
My three uncles live relatively close to each other, and I visited each one. This year, I had dinner at my eldest uncle's house. We take turns visiting each other every year.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't need to go into the kitchen to help because she had to take care of the children. Everyone ate their meal happily.
Hao Hao received several more red envelopes. Since he was also his sister's first grandson, his uncles gave him a lot, totaling one yuan and fifty cents. Each of his three uncles gave him fifty cents.
"My uncle's family gave quite a lot, fifty cents." Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't thought much of it before, but after comparing it to others, she realized it was quite a lot.
