After receiving two more red envelopes, the little girl thanked with a beautiful smile and ran back to her room.
She needed to put everything she had on her away, otherwise she wouldn't be able to take it.
"Master, Brother Zhuang, you guys spoil her too much."
Chen Wang walked forward with a smile and took out a box of cigarettes to give to the two men.
The cigarettes were good ones he bought from Lao Qian two days ago. They were sold individually for one dollar a pack, so he bought a pack for eight dollars.
During the Chinese New Year, even if you don’t smoke, you have to carry a pack of cigarettes in your pocket.
There was actually a pack of cigarettes on the table. It was put there by Lin Xiuqin. When someone came to pay New Year's greetings, she had to give them cigarettes and invite them to sit down and have tea.
Of course, if the relationship is not particularly good, people will generally refuse politely.
Both Master and Chen Dazhuang smoke, but Chen Dazhuang smokes less frequently. When hunting in the mountains, he usually does not bring cigarettes with him in order to prevent the prey with a keen sense of smell from smelling him.
They drank a cup of tea and rested for a while at home. During this time, two groups of people came to wish them a happy new year, including Chen Weibing and Chen Weimin's family who often helped them move meat from the mountains.
After seeing off the second wave of people, Chen Wang and his four companions went out again.
Chen Wang and the little girl went to the end of the village, while the master and Chen Dazhuang went to the entrance of the village.
Except for his uncle's family, Chen Wang took his little girl to visit every family in the village to wish them a happy new year.
After finishing all this, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
The sun is already high in the sky, casting its warm rays.
I got up at around five o'clock. I slept very late last night and was extremely sleepy.
The little girl went straight back to her room, counted the red envelopes and New Year's money she had received, and then curled up in bed to catch up on her sleep.
"Wife, go get some sleep. I'll be here."
Chen Wang said to Lin Xiuqin.
Lin Xiuqin did not refuse. She smiled and nodded, then went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.
Pregnant women are naturally sleepy, and since she is mute, it is not convenient for her to greet people who come to visit her during the New Year.
Now that Chen Wang is there to support him, he can rest assured.
Chen Wang sat at the table, eating melon seeds and drinking tea, waiting for people to come and wish him a happy new year.
When wishing someone a happy new year, the earlier you do it, the more sincere you are.
There are very few people who come to pay New Year’s greetings after nine o’clock. Most of them are those who had too much fun the night before and slept in.
What Chen Wang didn't expect was that Qiao Zhijie actually came to his house to wish him a happy New Year.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you, especially on a day like New Year's Day.
"Well, Happy New Year."
Chen Wang nodded in response. Seeing him rubbing his waist with a grin on his face, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
Qiao Zhijie replied with a dark face: "My father beat me. I don't know what happened. I was still sleeping when he hit me with a stick."
In fact, when Old Joe was beating him, he was still talking about Chen Wang, the son of someone else's family!
But he came here with a purpose, and it was not appropriate for him to vent his anger on Chen Wang.
"Forehead……"
Chen Wang didn't know what to say for a moment.
During this period, Old Joe seemed to be very strict in disciplining his son, and screams could often be heard coming from next door.
"Ahem...your dad is doing this for your own good."
Chen Wang said something polite, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He didn't invite Qiao Zhijie to sit down and drink tea, and he didn't even offer him a cigarette. It was obvious that he wanted to send him away.
Qiao Zhijie was not stupid. In fact, he understood what was going on, but he pretended to be stupid. He walked over with a wry smile and sat down directly.
Chen Wang glanced at him indifferently, and did not directly ask him to leave. He continued to eat his melon seeds, wanting to see what he was up to.
"Awang, since you got your head around you've been busy going into the mountains to hunt. You must be tired, right?"
Qiao Zhijie grabbed a few peanuts and spoke while peeling them.
"Yeah, a little bit, what's wrong?"
Chen Wang followed up on his words and asked back.
These words seemed to be expressed out of concern for him, but he didn't think Qiao Zhijie could be so kind.
Qiao Zhijie's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I'll take you out to play. You're a grown man, you can't just stay at home with your wife every day. You don't look like a young man at all. Many of your peers in the village are making fun of you behind your back!"
"oh?"
Chen Wang pretended to be surprised and asked, "What did you say about me?"
"Say you..."
Qiao Zhijie hesitated and changed the subject: "If it's not good, let's go. You've made the money. I'll take you out to have fun for a day. It's New Year's Day, so why don't you just stay at home and eat melon seeds?"
"What's fun there? Isn't it good to just eat sunflower seeds at home? Crunch..."
Chen Wang remained unmoved and continued to leisurely eat melon seeds.
"Please, can you please have some pursuit?"
Qiao Zhijie was a little speechless. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I have a way. I will take you to make more money."
"What way?"
Chen Wang continued to play dumb, but he had actually guessed what was going on.
During the Chinese New Year, many people in the village had some money in their pockets and started to get carried away. A lot of people played cards and gambled.
Some people work hard in other places to earn some money, and come back to spend a good New Year with their families, but end up losing all the money in a few days.
"Don't ask yet. Just follow me. You'll know when you get there. I won't cheat you."
"hehe!"
"No, what are you laughing at?"
Qiao Zhijie had an embarrassed expression on his face.
Chen Wang looked him up and down, curled his lips and said, "Did you lose money and want to trick me into giving you a chance to make it back? Or did you make a deal with others and trick me over to be a fat sheep to be slaughtered?"
As soon as these words came out, a hint of surprise flashed in Qiao Zhijie's eyes, but he still had a smile on his face.
"How could that be, Awang? You are overthinking it again. I was dishonest in the past, but now I know you are not stupid anymore. How could I lie to you again?"
"Shut up, don't talk to me like a brother, we're not that familiar."
Chen Wang ended the topic without any hesitation.
"Awang, after all, we grew up together as friends... There's no need to be like this, right?"
Qiao Zhijie looked very ugly.
Chen Wang’s guess was absolutely correct. He fought until two o’clock last night, but lost all his money.
Not only that, it also owes a lot of foreign debt.
He made an agreement with the person who lent him the money that as long as he brought Chen Wang over, the money he borrowed would be written off.
Because of this, even though he was beaten for no reason in the morning, he did not dare to show any resentment towards Chen Wang. Instead, he tried to please him just to achieve his goal.
"If you don't leave, I'll go find your dad next door and tell him that you tried to trick me into gambling."
Chen Wang said calmly.
"grass!"
Qiao Zhijie couldn't sit still anymore, so he cursed and got up and left.
As he stepped out of the door, his indignant voice came in.
"Why are you pretending? Just wait, I will make more money than you sooner or later."
