Chapter 170 New Year Greetings
Hao walked in a floating manner the whole morning.
Everything feels so unreal.
And at this moment, she didn't dare to face her father-in-law.
She was afraid that her father-in-law would look down on her because she was a rural woman, not very good-looking and had not received much education! No etiquette or anything!
Hao bumped into the corner of the table for the fifth time and was finally pulled over by Liu Changying to sit next to her.
Bai Shuang, Uncle Liu, and Cui Shi also knew Liu Weirong's identity, as well as Liu Changying's identity.
Everyone was silent.
I dare not make any sound when walking.
Among all the people, only Old Man Zhong dared to talk to Liu Weirong. No, it should be said that he cursed at him.
They all admired Old Man Zhong, a rural old man, for being so courageous.
They thought, could it be that Old Man Zhong is stubborn and stubborn?
Aren't you afraid of offending the Duke, who will ask the soldiers to arrest you and chop off his head?
When Liu Shiqi came over, he noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was strange.
Mainly because it was New Year’s Day and the hall was so quiet.
Liu Shiqi's eyes turned, and he suddenly strode forward and spoke loudly.
"Shi Qi wishes a happy new year to grandfather and grandfather!"
"Happy New Year to my grandfather and grandpa-in-law! Good health and all the best!"
Liu Weirong and Old Man Zhong then looked at her.
When Liu Weirong saw Liu Shiqi, she liked him from the bottom of her heart.
He took a stack of red envelopes from Butler Mo. Then he handed one to Liu Shiqi.
"Happy New Year, little girl too!"
"Grandfather hopes that you will be happy every day!"
Liu Shiqi happily took the red envelope without any shyness and said with a smile.
“Thank you, Grandpa!”
Liu Zheng, Liu Yong, Zhuang Yan, and Liu Xin's eyes all lit up.
After Liu Shiqi took the red envelope from Liu Weirong, he immediately looked at Old Man Zhong with a smile and stretched out his hand.
Old man Zhong was stunned and gritted his teeth.
I thought to myself, what a naughty girl!
I kissed her for nothing!
Old man Zhong felt sad again.
Because during the Chinese New Year, he would give each child in his family ten copper coins at most.
But I didn't expect that Liu Weirong was so rich that he would just give a red envelope.
Judging from the appearance of the red envelope, there must be a silver note inside.
Old man Zhong was crying, he didn't have that much money...
Liu Weirong raised his eyebrows and looked at the joke made by old man Zhong.
"Old man Zhong, it's Chinese New Year and the little girl has come to wish you a happy new year, why don't you give her a red envelope?"
"Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born and you can't take with you when you die!"
“It’s no use saving it!”
"Why not give the children red envelopes right now!"
Old man Zhong was so angry that he wanted to bite Liu Weirong to death.
Stinky old man!
Show off!
After cursing Liu Weirong countless times in his heart, Old Man Zhong still took out a gold leaf from his pocket with a painful heart and handed it to Liu Shiqi.
"Happy New Year, little girl!"
Liu Zheng and the others' eyes brightened even more.
Needless to say, everyone rushed over to wish the two ancestors a happy new year.
Everyone said in unison.
"Happy New Year to Grandpa and Grandfather!"
"Happy New Year, Grandpa!"
"May your wishes come true and your body be healthy!"
Liu Weirong, the old man who has been lonely for many years, was overjoyed at this moment.
His eyes were narrowed into slits.
The corners of his mouth were curled up and he couldn't let them go.
I give out red envelopes one by one without feeling any regret at all.
Old man Zhong standing next to him gritted his teeth in pain.
He had to force himself to hold back his laughter as he sent out the gold leaves one by one.
This is what he has saved up over the years.
Old man Zhong wanted to bite Liu Weirong to death again.
I don’t understand, they are just children, why give them so much!
This will spoil the child, okay!
Liu Shiqi kicked the gold leaf into his arms. Then quickly open the red envelope to check.
A thin silver note was taken out.
Liu Shiqi said in surprise, "One thousand taels!"
Liu Zheng and the others just happened to take out the silver bills.
"Mine is also one thousand taels!"
"Uh, mine too!"
This is already a considerable amount of money in their county.
For a child from an ordinary family, ten taels of silver is a huge sum of money.
The kids were so happy.
Liu Weirong raised his eyebrows at Old Man Zhong.
I snorted in my heart.
One gold leaf was only worth twenty taels in the end!
Old Man Zhong...
Can he kick him out?
Obviously not.
After breakfast, everyone had nothing to do, so they sat together chatting, eating melon seeds and drinking tea.
The children have all heard the story of Old Man Zhong, so it is nothing new to them.
Everyone was very curious about Liu Weirong's affairs.
Liu Weirong hasn't had the feeling of having children around him for a long time.
He smiled so hard that his eyebrows were not visible.
Happy to tell the children all kinds of stories.
He kept talking as long as the children were willing to listen.
He drank two full pots of tea and went to the toilet three times.
Whatever questions the children had, he answered them one by one with great patience.
Soon, the children's original strangeness and alienation towards Liu Weirong disappeared.
Instead, the children admired and liked him.
Butler Mo watched from the side, silently wiping away tears several times, with a smile on his face.
After that, the second, third, fourth and fifth days of the New Year, everyone spent their time like this.
Warm and comfortable.
On the sixth day of the New Year, the family returned to Haojiagou Village in two horse-drawn carriages.
The main purpose is to visit relatives, neighbors and so on.
As soon as I entered the village, I found a lot of people squatting at the entrance of the village, talking.
They didn't even need to ask, as some villagers came over anxiously to inform them.
"Afu! You guys are back!"
"You must be back to visit relatives!"
"You guys came back at a really bad time. Something happened in the village!"
Hao got off the carriage, chatted with a few aunts and then got back on.
Liu Shiqi asked curiously.
"Mother, what's wrong? What happened?!"
Hao quickly told them, "Two major events happened in the village, both of them are very bad, oh!!"
"It's a bad year!"
Liu Zheng asked anxiously.
"What happened?"
"Why is it that the luck is so bad?"
Hao did not hide it and quickly said, "The first thing is that the Qingshan Holy Mother Temple was actually rejected by thunder!"
"The plaster statue of Our Lady of Qingshan was split in half!"
Everyone widened their eyes in surprise.
Because the Qingshan Holy Mother Temple has existed for hundreds of years, and I have never heard of it being struck by lightning.
Moreover, the Holy Mother of Qingshan is a very important temple for their Haojiagou village.
Now being struck by lightning is a huge loss for them.
So every household is very worried.
They are afraid that in August, no one from other places will come to their village to attend the market.
They will lose a lot of income.
Liu Shiqi asked Hao curiously.
"Mother, what's the other thing?"
Hao frowned and said in a low voice.
"Hao Qianrou is missing!"
"I heard that he disappeared years ago!"
"I guess, eh..."
