Chapter 337 New Year Greetings

My second uncle drove them to Zhangjia Village.

Jiang Fubao was worried about her New Year's money.

I clearly told my mother just now.

Before leaving, she opened the curtain of the carriage and spoke to her father.

"Okay, okay, Daddy will definitely take good care of our Fubao's New Year's gift money and make sure it's under your pillow. No one can steal it."

Jiang Siyin suddenly felt that his daughter seemed to be a little money-grubber.

The carriage drove away.

Everyone else stayed at home.

It's funny to say.

Jiang Fubao discovered that except for his uncle's family, everyone else had driven a ox cart to Zhujia Village early in the morning.

Second uncle, including her mother and sister-in-law, don't have to go back to her parents' home.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is done cleanly.

Along the way.

Jiang Fubao huddled near the small window of the carriage, looking at the scenery outside.

The snow is white.

The mountains, the ground, and the trees were all covered with a layer of white.

There are no conspicuous colors.

Except for the red dress she was wearing.

On the road, you can see a few figures from time to time.

I guess they all went to pay New Year’s greetings.

Grandpa and grandma didn't ask them to come up and sit.

Jiang Fubao could understand that if he relaxed once, there would be countless troubles in the future, even though his grandfather was very nice to the villagers after becoming the clan leader.

But Jiang Fubao knew that his family still kept a distance from them.

The Jiang family has never been a group of kind people.

The money the village earns is just a drop in the bucket.

By giving them a little sweetness, they can buy some peace and quiet, so that the villagers will no longer care about how much money they earn. It can also be a timely help, so why not do it?

Jiang Fubao once again marveled at his grandfather's cleverness.

The carriage gradually slowed down until it came to a complete stop.

Jiang Eryong opened the curtain: "Dad, Mom, we're here."

Jiang Fubao was held in his grandmother's arms.

Got off the carriage.

Zhangjia Village, she has never been there.

Including last year when the original owner was still alive, as far as I can remember, grandma spent the first day of the Lunar New Year at home and didn't come back to pay New Year's greetings.

She clearly remembered that grandma had no relatives left.

So, who should we wish a happy new year to today?

Jiang Fubao was a little confused and she looked at her grandmother.

Big eyes, blinking, looking somewhat innocent.

Zhang Jinlan knew what her granddaughter was thinking at a glance.

"This is your grandma Pan's house. When grandma was not married, your grandma Pan took care of grandma a lot. She is several years older than grandma. Without her, grandma would have been swallowed up by those people."

Zhang Jinlan didn't elaborate.

Mention that group of people.

Her eyes became much sharper.

Jiang Fubao nodded, not quite understanding.

Without waiting for her to reply to grandma.

A man came out from inside.

She looks older than grandma, with kind eyes, a round face, and is a little plump. Her house is a large tiled house made of green bricks.

It looks like it was newly built a few years ago.

Definitely not poor.

"Jinlan, why are you here? It's been three years since we last met. I guess you're doing pretty well now. You even have a carriage."

Pan Lihua heard the noise in the yard and came out to greet them.

He said to Zhang Jinlan with a smile.

"It was only last year. I opened a shop in town and made some money. Before that, my family was having a hard time and I couldn't afford anything good. I was too embarrassed to come and pay New Year's greetings. Now that I see that things are getting better, I came this year. Fubao, call me."

Zhang Jinlan patted her granddaughter's little butt.

"Hello, Grandma Pan, I'm Jiang Fubao, your youngest and most obedient grandson." Jiang Fubao not only called out to her but also introduced himself.

He looked like he wasn't afraid of strangers, which made Pan Lihua very happy.

"This baby is growing up so well. Come, let grandma hold him. Jinlan, Jiang Laodi, Eryong, please come in and sit down."

Pan Lihua took Jiang Fubao from Zhang Jinlan's arms.

Then he took them into the house.

"My two sons have gone back to their parents' home with their daughter-in-law, and the children have gone with them, so we are the only two old people at home. Let's stay here for lunch."

Pan Lihua put Jiang Fubao on the chair.

Then bring some glasses of water.

said with a smile.

"No, there are a lot of leftovers at home yesterday, so I have to go back and eat them. I just wanted to come and see you, sister."

Zhang Jinlan held Pan Lihua's hand.

We chatted for a long time.

I hurried back at 9:00 p.m.

Jiang Fubao was also forcefully stuffed with a red paper bag.

As soon as she got on the carriage, she couldn't wait to open it and read it.

"Grandma, it's small change." It's about a hundred coins. If the food price hadn't increased, it could have bought a lot of meat buns.

Compared to the one copper plate New Year's gift in the village.

It’s really a big deal.

"Your grandmother Pan never scrimps, so take it. Fubao can keep the flowers for himself." Zhang Jinlan smiled.

He held his granddaughter's hand tighter and tighter.

And at Pan Lihua's home.

She was looking at the New Year gifts brought by Zhang Jinlan with Zhang Dachun.

There is a bamboo basket on the table.

As soon as the cloth covering the top is opened.

They were both stunned.

"Wow, what a generous gesture! The New Year's gift I gave just now was really too little." Pan Lihua slapped her thigh.

In the bamboo basket was a large piece of wild boar, with the hair removed, as well as precious brown sugar, twenty eggs, a can of tea and two cans of wine.

If you sell this basket, you can get at least one or two taels of silver.

"The Jinlan family seems to have become really prosperous." Zhang Dachun also sighed.

"Well, it's good to be rich. She has lived a hard life for so long, she deserves to live a good life. Take it. Since she would give it like this, it means that her family is not short of food and clothes. I see that her carriage is pulled by two horses, it seems that she lives a good life, so I am not worried.

We will cook the wild boar meat in the evening. Last year, we had no crops, and we had to pay fines. Our grandson got seriously ill, and most of our family money was gone. We thought this year would be hard. Look, my good sister has become rich and still remembers me. She sent me meat on New Year's Day. I'm sure everything will go well next year."

Pan Lihua was extremely happy.

She picked up the wild boar and looked at it from left to right.

I have already thought about how to eat it.

"You were worried about her years ago. You're not worried about her now, right?" Zhang Dachun has a very good temper, and the couple have been lovingly together for many years.

Life is peaceful and beautiful.

Naturally, he also knew what the person next to him was thinking.

"Well, don't worry. I thought she had a hard life, and after what happened during the autumn harvest, I was thinking of sending her some food tomorrow during the New Year's greetings. Now there's no need to do that. Let's go and light the stove. I'll heat up the leftovers from yesterday, and we'll have some to drink."

Pan Lihua took out a jar of wine from the bamboo basket.

He raised his eyebrows.

The Jiang family's carriage returned to the village.

Passing by Jiang Sanniu's house.

Jiang Fubao stretched his head and took a look.

Found her door closed.

If the door had not been locked, she would have thought that no one was at Jiang Sanniu's home.

Jiang Sanniu, the one she was talking about, was lying on the bed with a pale face.

She was brought back by her second sister yesterday.

I never got up again.

As for the doctor?

There is no one to invite.

Her right calf was broken in the opposite direction.

It looks very weird.
