"Uncle Li...We are here to wish you a happy new year."
He pulled Banggeng's hand out of the basin and spoke politely.
He is not stupid. He can't be tough at this time. After being beaten twice, he has learned his lesson.
"So it's New Year's greetings." Li Qinghe said with a smile and took two steps towards him.
"And what's in your pocket?"
"Sugar..." Banggeng answered honestly.
He was caught in the act, so he didn't dare to argue. Besides, the thing was in his pocket, and he didn't have the ability to make it disappear.
Li Qinghe was a little surprised. How could this kid be so honest? In the past, he always refused to admit it and even blamed others.
This put Li Qinghe in a difficult position.
If you want to be fussy about it, it's not nice to beat someone up during the New Year. These days everyone takes the New Year very seriously and will try to make small matters as minor as possible.
Even for those who owe money, as long as they avoid New Year's Eve, the creditors will not come to ask for the money and will wait until after the New Year. As a result, some teahouses have emerged that specifically help people avoid debts, and they specifically do business with those who are avoiding debts on New Year's Eve.
But if he didn't care about it, Li Qinghe would feel uncomfortable.
Finally, he sighed, "Forget it, get out of here. I won't bother with you on New Year's Day this year, but there won't be a next time. Not every day is New Year's Day."
Banggeng felt relieved and quickly took out the things in his pocket. He didn't dare to say a word and even ignored his two younger sisters.
As for the New Year's money...
Come on, I’d be lucky if I didn’t get beaten, how dare I say a word.
Xiaodang and Huaihua were also very frightened and slowly moved back.
"You two stand there." Li Qinghe turned around and shouted.
The two little girls were so frightened that they trembled and dared not move. Huaihua even pouted her lips, looking like she would cry if she didn't agree with anything.
This made Li Qinghe laugh and cry. Am I that scary?
In fact, in the eyes of the two girls, Li Qinghe was really scary. Not to mention other things, just the stick-beating joke and Jia Zhangshi made them think that Li Qinghe was very fierce.
"Wait a minute, take these with you to eat. Since you are here, I can't let you leave empty-handed."
As he said this, he grabbed a handful of peanuts, melon seeds and hard candies and stuffed them into the two girls' pockets.
I won’t give you the money as we agreed to celebrate the New Year together.
He patted their heads and said with a smile: "You are good children. These are your rewards. Okay, go ahead."
"Thank you, uncle." Xiaodang breathed a sigh of relief when she knew that Li Qinghe was not going to hit them.
At the same time, they also blamed Banggeng for abandoning them and running away.
Huaihua looked at her bulging pockets and her saliva was about to flow.
Her family only eats sweets a few times a year, and they have been craving for it for a long time.
Moreover, the two girls had a better impression of Li Qinghe. After all, they had never been scolded by Li Qinghe before, and when he treated them to a meal, he always let them eat with him.
Now when I think of the braised pork and goose, I still drool.
"Okay, go and play." Li Qinghe touched their heads again.
After coming to their senses, the two girls thanked him again and then ran away hand in hand, while covering their bulging pockets.
Looking at the backs of the two girls, Li Qinghe sighed, "It's a pity to be born in the Jia family. Fortunately, Jia Zhang was taken away, otherwise these two girls would have been useless sooner or later.
"But I guess that's how it is. The character has already been formed. If you want to change it, well, even breaking your legs may not be enough."
After that, he didn't care about all that and grabbed some more melon seeds and candies and put them in the bowl. He picked it up and shook it for a while, then walked towards the central courtyard.
He did not forget to offer melon seeds and peanuts during the New Year's greetings.
At this time, some scattered residents had already arrived in the central courtyard.
When I went out, I saw Yan Bugui walking towards the central courtyard with a frustrated look on his face.
Li Qinghe thought of a scene that happened during the Chinese New Year in the play and felt a little surprised. He had changed so much. Could it be that He Yuzhu was going to beg for money with Banggeng again?
He immediately called Yan Bugui and said, "Uncle, you look a little strange, what's wrong?"
Seeing that it was Li Qinghe, Yan Bugui immediately complained, "Qinghe, you don't know, you said that the three children of the Jia family ran into my house early in the morning, knelt down and knocked on the bowl to ask for money, and they would not accept less, they had to give one yuan.
"You know my salary. It's not easy for me to support my family. In my opinion, this must be someone's trick."
Li Qinghe's mouth twitched. Sure enough, it was true.
I saw three children holding bowls in the house before. Although I was a little suspicious, the plot had been changed so much that I didn’t think much about it.
Just like Director Yang, who would have thought he was so unreliable, so they had no choice but to switch to Deputy Director Li.
Although Jia Zhang had already been taken away, Qin Huairu still got together with Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu and others.
It seems like a lot has changed, yet it seems like nothing has changed.
Li Qinghe pretended to be angry and said, "Is there such a thing? One yuan for New Year's money? What kind of conditions are there to ask for so much? I also saw Banggeng and the others. I went out this morning and came back to see this kid taking candy from my house. He even broke the lock.
"I prepared these things for my neighbors, mixed them with melon seeds and peanuts, but this kid only took the candy and didn't touch any of the peanuts or melon seeds.
"It's New Year's Day, it's not right to argue with a child. What do you think is going on?"
While speaking, he seemed to have forgotten that the New Year's money given to Damao and the others was all one yuan. Liang Ladi wanted to take it away, but he stopped her.
"There is such a thing?!"
Yan Bugui was a little surprised.
