On the first day of the new year, I got up at dawn.
What Chen Wang didn't expect was that the little girl was also awake. When she saw him come out, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Brother, Happy New Year!"
"Well, Happy New Year!"
Chen Wang yawned and nodded, then made a gesture to walk out of the house.
"Wait a moment."
The little girl opened her arms to stop him.
"what?"
Chen Wang pretended to be confused.
"Brother, did you forget something after sleeping so much?"
The little girl smiled playfully and raised her eyebrows.
"What? No!"
"Oh, a red envelope, look!"
The little girl stamped her feet anxiously and took out two red envelopes from her pocket.
"Did Sister Ying give it to you?"
Chen Wang asked in surprise.
"Yes, one is from sister Ying, and the other is from brother-in-law."
"Good boy, you're awake so early? Did you wake them up to get a red envelope?"
"No, Sister Ying gave it to me when we went to bed at night."
"All right!"
Chen Wang smiled and nodded, pointed to the room behind him and said, "Go to your sister-in-law's room and wish her a happy new year. Let her give it to you!"
"Is sister-in-law awake too?"
"Um!"
"Okay, I'll go and pay New Year's greetings."
After saying that, the little girl ran into the room happily.
As soon as Chen Wang walked out of the house, he heard the loud voice of the little girl behind him wishing a happy new year to his wife.
He shook his head in amusement and went out to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Chen Ying had also gotten up. She walked out of the room and saw Chen Wang brushing his teeth. She said, "I'll go with you guys to pay New Year's greetings later."
Chen Wang rinsed his mouth with water and nodded, "Sure, what about my brother?"
"If he doesn't wake up later, let him sleep!"
"OK!"
"Then I'll go see if the little guy is awake and ask him to wish me a happy new year."
Chen Ying smiled and walked towards the main house.
"You can pay New Year's greetings, but don't give red envelopes or anything like that. The child is still young!"
Chen Wang guessed what she was going to do and said something with a smile.
"What do you care about me?"
Chen Ying glared at him unhappily.
Knowing that it was useless to persuade her further, Chen Wang could only smile bitterly and let her be.
After washing my face and returning to the house, I saw Chen Ying holding the little guy, who was grinning foolishly with two red envelopes in his hands.
"Sister, go wash your face and brush your teeth, then we'll open the door and go to pay New Year's greetings."
Chen Wang urged with a smile.
"good!"
Chen Ying nodded with a smile and handed the little guy back to Lin Xiuqin.
"And you, you put on your new clothes but you don't wash your face or brush your teeth."
Chen Wang looked at the little girl and complained.
"Oh! I'll go right away!"
The little girl ran to catch up with Chen Ying.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and gestured, asking if she wanted to make breakfast.
"No, it's still early. Let's eat after we come back from New Year's greetings."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin nodded.
After the little girl and Chen Ying were ready, Chen Wang took out the largest firecracker he had bought and brought the two of them to the gate of the mansion.
At this time, the sound of firecrackers outside was already coming one after another.
"Do you know what to say when I open the door?"
Chen Wang looked at the little girl and asked.
"Know!"
Chen Xiaoyu nodded with a smile.
Chen Wang put down the firecrackers in his hand and opened the door of the mansion.
"Open the door and the God of Wealth will come!!!"
The little girl cheered loudly.
Chen Ying smiled lovingly and touched her head.
Chen Wang took the firecrackers outside and lit them. The deafening sound of the firecrackers crackled, as if foreshadowing that this year would also be prosperous.
"Let's go next door and wish Old Joe a happy new year."
After the sound of firecrackers stopped, Chen Wang waved and called the two of them and went to Lao Qiao's house next door first.
…
…
I spent the first day of the New Year at home. It was a bit tiring to get up early and visit every household to wish a happy new year, but I felt much more relaxed after half a day in the afternoon.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Chen Wang borrowed Chen Dazhuang's bicycle, and then he and Lin Xiuqin each rode a bicycle and took the little girl to Lin's house.
The little guy couldn't be brought along, so he stayed at home and was taken care of by Chen Ying and Dong Qinghua for a day.
I went there in the morning and stayed there until dark just in time to get home.
On the third day of the New Year, Chen Wang rode his bike alone to his mother's home to pay New Year's greetings.
It was dark again when I got home.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he took some gifts to the town to wish his friends a happy new year, including Comrade Xiao Xu and her father, Master Wang, and the father and son of the Yang family from the next village.
It wasn't until the fifth day of the New Year that I finally had some free time.
The Chinese New Year is lively and exciting, but visiting relatives and friends is really tiring.
Especially with the current inconvenient transportation situation.
For someone like Chen Wang, it is great to have a bicycle for transportation, as most people can only rely on their own legs.
I spent two days of comfortable time at home.
Chen Ying and Dong Qinghua decided to return to Guangzhou in two days, on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
That afternoon, Chen Wang, Chen Dazhuang, and Dong Qinghua were playing poker on the stone table in the yard, while Lin Xiuqin and Chen Ying were eating melon seeds and chatting nearby.
We were having a great time, but someone's arrival immediately changed the atmosphere.
The one who came this time was not my aunt and Chen Feng, but my uncle.
"Awang, you guys are playing cards!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, an awkward smile appeared on the uncle's face.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Chen Ying asked calmly.
"I, I came to find you guys and go home. I have something to tell you."
The uncle answered solemnly, worried that she might misunderstand him, and added, "Aying, actually I didn't agree with what your mother said before, so I didn't come over last time. Your mother has also realized her mistakes in the past few days, so I'll come over to talk to you guys."
After listening to this, Chen Ying fell silent and looked at Dong Qinghua.
"Wait a moment!"
Dong Qinghua said something to Chen Wang and the other man, then put down the playing cards in his hand, stood up and walked towards his uncle.
When he arrived in front of his uncle, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to his uncle, and grinned.
"Uncle, I knew you were reasonable. I can understand Auntie's thoughts to some extent."
"If Afeng can learn well, I am willing to help him. For this reason, I have discussed with Aying whether we should take him to Yangcheng to do something so that he can broaden his horizons and leave your protection to earn money to support himself. Maybe he will change slowly."
"As the saying goes, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Even if I promised you and your aunt that I would give you a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan, giving this money to him is not a good thing to do. To be honest, it may harm him!"
As he spoke, Dong Qinghua used a match to light a cigarette for his future father-in-law.
The uncle took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, nodded and said, "You are right, we spoiled him too much in the past, that's why he became like this. Are you really willing to take him to Yangcheng?"
"Of course, I'm married to Aying, so he's my brother-in-law. He'll definitely help me if he can!"
Dong Qinghua assured with a serious look on his face.
“That’s great.”
The uncle also showed a happy expression on his face. He looked at his daughter and said, "Aying, let's go back and talk as a family."
"good!"
Chen Ying agreed with a smile.
