I have to go to the village tomorrow, so I won’t stay up tonight. After paying New Year’s greetings, we will all go back to our rooms and sleep.
Chunni took all the red envelopes from the three treasures and said, "Mom will save them for you."
The three treasures were unhappy, but they couldn't resist, so they turned their backs to sleep and ignored Chunni.
Chunni opened all the red envelopes. Wu Zhiqiu and Mancang, the third brother, each gave one thousand yuan, and Fengchun gave two yuan each. Zhang Tao also gave two yuan to each of them before. Chunni should remember all the brothers and sisters, and when they have children in the future, they will have to pay them back.
Chunni picked up the red envelope given by Dong Yun and didn't open it. "Guess how much your elder brother gave you."
"No matter how much you give, it's a thoughtful gesture." The second child didn't care. There were many children in their family, and it would be hard for others to give a lot.
"I, Chunni, am not unreasonable. We have many children, but in the future, no matter how much he gives to our family, I will give them back their children. I will never take advantage of others. This time, I will give him the same amount of red envelope as when he gives birth to his children. Do you have any objections?"
"Don't try to trick me. Just give as much as you are willing to give. No one is forcing you. It's only a matter of reciprocity." The second brother knew that Chunni and Dong Yun had quarreled, and he was still angry.
"Just your words are enough." Chunni opened the red envelope and took out ten yuan from it.
The second child who was lying down got up and took a look. It was really ten yuan. "It's a lot for a kid."
Chunni smiled. Three red envelopes of thirty yuan each. "I also think it's not a small amount. Xingye, remember what you said. I'll be more generous. I spent ten yuan on their childbirth."
The second brother… "Okay, spend as much as you want. By the way, what did you and sister-in-law quarrel about this morning?"
Speaking of this, Chunni got angry. Thinking that it was Chinese New Year, she quickly suppressed her anger.
"Your eldest sister-in-law is like no one has never been pregnant. Second brother, do you think my pregnancy has delayed my cooking or my taking care of the children? Fine, she is old and she is spoiled. Your eldest brother is pregnant too. The family is so busy before the New Year. The couple came and did not help, and I had to take care of them. That's fine. It's only a few days, so I can just put up with it. She didn't even notice the firecrackers set off in the alley all morning, and she got upset when the children set off a few small firecrackers. Why is she being so pretentious? She is getting on my nerves during the New Year, and I won't indulge her."
"You work for them, not for our parents. Do you think it's appropriate for you two to quarrel in front of our mother? You can't quarrel behind her back, or you can't beat her." The second brother advised seriously.
Chunni chuckled, "You're the only one who would say that. I didn't think too much about it at the time. Now that Mom is angry, I regret it. I won't argue with her in front of Mom and Dad in the future."
“That’s right.”
After a while, the couple made a harmonious decision.
The next morning, the family had breakfast early, greeted the people in the yard with New Year's greetings, and then went to the village. Their whole family was gathered together, and the yard was full of people.
The old man is happy and his descendants are prosperous, all thanks to him.
The old lady was annoyed to see that her granddaughters-in-law were clucking like hens all day long, fighting openly and secretly. They worked as if they had tuberculosis, working very hard and fearing that they would suffer losses if they worked too hard.
Several grandchildren also care about their own families and think about how to get some for their own homes every day.
There were no major conflicts, but there were constant small thoughts. Liu Cuihua would curse at no one, but no one took it to heart. Everything went on as it should.
Wu Zhiqiu was about to go to the kitchen to help, but was stopped by the old lady. "There are so many young wives, we don't need you. If we are still alive next year, we won't come to celebrate the New Year. There are not many old people in the village, so I don't have much to miss. I'm tired of watching them team up to fight in the palace every day."
Liu Cuihua looked embarrassed, but she had no choice. The young wives nowadays were not afraid of their mothers-in-law like they were in their past.
Wu Zhiqiu laughed dryly. Her family wasn't peaceful either. There were only two people in their thirties arguing. If there were three...
After having lunch in the village, the family went back to the city.
Xingguo and Dong Yun went straight to Xiaojia, and said that their brother-in-law and sister-in-law would go to their house tomorrow.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the second daughter Chunni took her three children back to her parents' home.
