Chapter 593, touch the brow
Lu Qingyuan did not disappoint. Although he did not smile, his expression on his face was quite gentle. He took out a few red envelopes and distributed them to his siblings one by one.
This year's first day of the new year, Lu Qingyuan was not willing to preach, but just asked them to keep the red envelopes, remember to keep a low profile, and told them not to accept red envelopes when they went to other people's homes for New Year's greetings.
Li Xiaoqiong didn't like to hear these words at all, why should they have to give red envelopes when other people's children come to their home to pay New Year's greetings, and their children can't receive red envelopes when they go to other people's homes?
If it weren't for the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xiaoqiong would definitely have had a hard time with the head of the family, and gave the head of the house a dissatisfied look, but Li Xiaoqiong didn't say anything.
Probably because of the new policy, every household is very lively this year. What they didn't dare to show in the past years, they dare to show it this year. What they didn't dare to do in previous years, they dare to do this year.
"I heard from them that there will be fireworks in the city during the New Year, but unfortunately we can only set off firecrackers here, which is not fun at all." On the way to visit the ancestor's grave, Lu Haoxuan said regretfully.
Of course, his classmates told him this. He really wanted to watch fireworks at that time, but unfortunately when he told his sister about buying fireworks, she was ruthlessly rejected by her sister.
He said that he should remember to keep a low profile at home. He has heard this since he was two years old, and sometimes it is really annoying to hear it. But later he found out that no one was setting off fireworks at home, and he understood the truth.
That is, whatever position he is in, he can do what kind of thing. For example, when he returns to his hometown, he has to follow the rules of his hometown, and everything should not be too prominent.
And when he gets to school, he can be more casual, as long as he doesn't do bullying things, and of course he should be able to keep up with his studies.
"Isn't that right, why don't we buy some fireworks next year?" Lu Wanmei became excited when she heard about the fireworks. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen fireworks for many years.
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, you couldn't even set off too many firecrackers. This year, the situation looks better. Their family bought a lot, but she just doesn't like it.
"What are fireworks?" Li Xiaoqiong heard her son and daughter mention this, saying that she had never heard of it, and she didn't know what it was, so she asked casually.
The corners of Lu Wanmei's mouth twitched slightly, she really didn't want to have such a mother who didn't understand anything, but unfortunately, she couldn't choose to be born, so no matter how indifferent this mother was, she had to bear it.
Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, she just said: "Fireworks are similar to firecrackers, but they are much more beautiful than firecrackers. During the Chinese New Year, everyone likes to set off these, to celebrate."
"Yes, yes, my classmate said that during the Chinese New Year, many people will set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year, but the fireworks are hard to buy, and the price is not cheap."
Not to be outdone, Lu Haoxuan said, to be honest, in fact, he had never seen fireworks at all, and now he said it as if it was true, Lu Wanmei gave him a blank look.
As soon as Li Xiaoqiong heard that the thing was filled with flowers, and it was expensive, Li Xiaoqiong immediately lost interest, curled her lips and said: "Why spend that money? I think firecrackers are very good.
Let me tell you, you are not allowed to buy those fireworks in the future, otherwise I will not give you lucky money!They can't eat and can't wear. I really don't know what those people are thinking. If there is too much money, there is no place to spend it? "
The two sisters Lu Wanqing were very happy to hear that, what my mother said was good, at least for the next few years it would be better not to buy that thing, not to mention that it is really expensive, the key point is that you can't buy it.
"Your mother is right. Although our family is in good condition, we don't want to waste it like that. With that money, we might as well buy you some more books to read."
Lu Qingyuan also nodded in agreement, and then talked about studying. He was also very busy during this time, and he didn't have much time to care about children's issues.
Although today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is not suitable to talk about this, but there is nothing to do on the road, so it’s okay to talk about it, anyway, the children don’t need him to worry too much.
When it came to this, Lu Haoxuan and Lu Wanmei, who were originally relaxed and lively, became dumb, especially Lu Wanmei, her grades were the worst among the siblings, and she was also the focus of Lu Qingyuan's attention.
Lu Wanmei was very depressed. In fact, she felt that she didn't need to go to school at all. If she wasn't too young, she wouldn't be too lazy to stay at home, let alone go to school peacefully.
But seeing that Li Chunhua was still studying hard, she didn't think about not studying, anyway, education is still very important in this era.
With a degree, it would be good to get a job in the city and do some side jobs, but her greatest interest is to make money, so she really doesn't spend much time on studies.
On this matter, Li Xiaoqiong would not intervene. Although she felt that it was not worthwhile for girls to study more, she could not prevent the children from studying, so she let them go.
Anyway, when they read it, others will praise her, and she can follow suit, which is actually quite good, especially after a few children go to school in the county town, they are given monthly subsidies, and she has no burden to collect.
I heard that people who have graduated from high school can still be assigned an iron rice bowl. When the children in the family are successful, they will definitely give her more filial piety, so that her life for the rest of her life will be easy.
So she didn't say anything, just listened silently, and occasionally nodded in agreement, especially when she pointed at Lu Wanmei and said something emphatically, which made Lu Wanmei very depressed.
So she simply changed the subject and talked about going to grandma's house. When they returned to her mother's house on the second day of the new year, they would also go to grandma's house.
"Mom, when we go to grandma's house tomorrow, do we have to bring Chunhua back?" Thinking of Li Chunhua, Lu Wanmei suddenly asked after thinking about it.
The two older ones took the younger brother to the county seat, and she basically did all the housework at home alone. She was not willing to do so many things. If Li Chunhua came, she could help her share some.
At this time, she never thought that after Li Chunhua came, all the food and shelter would be from their house, which was much more expensive than hiring someone to do housework.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyuan's face turned dark immediately, he finally sent him back, oh, he has to bring him back after two days?
This girl was pretty clever before, so why didn't she think this was wrong?So before Li Xiaoqiong could speak, he said in a deep voice: "Wanmei, what are you thinking?
There are so many things in your uncle's family, your uncle and aunt have to work, and there is a little one in the family who needs someone to take care of them. Let's take Chunhua over to make trouble for the family? "
Li Xiaoqiong, who was about to nod in response, was stunned when she heard the words, and nodded in agreement: "No, your sister Qiuyue is still young, and the family can't leave anyone. It's better for Chunhua to stay at home and help take care of the children."
Lu Wanmei almost couldn't help rolling her eyes, so many women in the village go out to work with their children on their backs, why can't my little aunt?
