Hearing Fu Hongxing's words, Ning Jing realized that she had misunderstood.
However, I felt relieved and put the red envelope into my pocket with peace of mind.
That's great. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she was able to receive a red envelope, which made Ning Jing especially happy.
She originally thought the children would sleep in late, but to her surprise, all the children woke up before 7 a.m.
After brushing my teeth and eating breakfast, I wished Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing a Happy New Year.
Ning Jing handed out the red envelopes she had prepared beforehand, one to each person, including the twins who were being carried on Tie Dan and Xiu Chun's backs.
However, it was just a brief exchange, since they were still young and different from Tie Dan and the others, so Ning Jing put them away.
After receiving the red envelopes, Tie Dan and his friends ran out in a flash.
Xiuhua, on the other hand, didn't go out. Instead, she took the insoles she hadn't finished and continued making them.
A short while later, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
Then, Guihua's family member Genmu came over with his younger siblings to wish them a Happy New Year. Ningjing smiled and gave each of them a red envelope.
Genmu and the others were surprised to receive red envelopes, and a string of auspicious words came out of their mouths in joy.
Then he went out to find Tie Dan and the others.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, children usually visit each other's homes in the village to exchange New Year's greetings.
Ordinary families wouldn't give red envelopes.
At most, they'd give you a handful of sunflower seeds or peanuts; if they were nicer, they'd give you a piece of candy to sweeten your mouth.
Of course, there are also stingy people who will accept the auspicious words but not anything else.
The children didn't mind too much; if one family didn't give them anything, they would just go to another and continue their New Year's greetings.
After making a round of prayers throughout the entire village, both of your pockets will be bulging.
Then they would huddle together, take the things out of their pockets, and share the food.
Unlike the other children, Tie Dan and his friends didn't visit every household to offer New Year's greetings.
They only visited a few families that their sister-in-law knew well to offer New Year's greetings. When Genmu came to their house to offer New Year's greetings, they also went to the Zhao family to offer New Year's greetings.
Wang Guihua didn't give out red envelopes, but instead gave each person two candies and a handful of peanuts.
This is considered good in the village.
After the children had eaten all the treats they received from the New Year's greetings, they were too full to eat lunch.
In the evening, Ning Jing cooked several vegetarian dishes, which made the children, who had eaten too many nuts, feel much better.
On the contrary, Fu Hongxing was somewhat resentful; he still couldn't forget that large piece of boiled salted meat!
Ning Jing had no choice but to cut off a small piece and make a separate portion for Fu Hongxing.
By the second day of the Lunar New Year, almost everyone in the village with a maternal family went back to visit their parents.
In Ning Jing's mind, the original owner of this body was sold to the Fu family, so even if she knew about her so-called maternal home, she would not go there!
Seeing Ning Jing's carefree and happy appearance.
Fu Hongxing, on the other hand, felt a little conflicted.
Meanwhile, the Ning family on the other side was shrouded in gloom.
For no other reason than that our family doesn't have a single grain of food left.
The food we ate during the Lunar New Year consisted of wild vegetable roots that we dug up. We cooked them together with the little grain we had left in the house and made a big pot of it to fill everyone's stomachs.
The next day, we scraped the bottom of the pot clean and let the kids lick it to taste it.
The adults were all hungry, but they forced themselves to endure it.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the second son's wife took her children and the second son with her to go back to her parents' home.
At home, Ning's mother, her eldest son, his wife, and their children were all sighing and hungry.
