Chapter 289 Exposed
The village became lively early the next morning. Every household brought their children to visit relatives to celebrate the New Year. No matter who they met, they had to say Happy New Year.
As soon as Chu Runrun got up from the bed, she couldn't wait to look for the gift.
Every New Year, Ning Changbo would prepare gifts for Chu Runrun, and he would also give her a lot of New Year's money every year.
Even when Chu Runrun grew up, she still didn't break this habit.
Chu Ruanruan found this year's New Year's gift at the end of her bed as she wished.
The gift box was very small, only the size of a palm. When Chu Runrun opened it, there was a car key inside.
"Why would Grandpa give me the car keys?"
Chu Ruanruan ran downstairs in confusion.
Ning Changbo was sitting on the sofa drinking tea when he heard Chu Runrun calling him.
"Ruanruan, you're up so early!" Ning Changbo said with a smile.
"Grandpa, why did you give me a car key this year?" Chu Runrun asked puzzledly.
"You will be nineteen after the New Year, and it's time for you to have a car of your own. Grandpa has picked one for you, a lotus pink Porsche, which is the most beautiful car for girls to drive!" Ning Changbo said with a smile.
"But I haven't learned to drive yet!" Chu Runrun said.
"What's there to be afraid of? Just sign up after the New Year. With my daughter Ruanruan's intelligence, she can get a driver's license in minutes, right?" Ning Changbo said with a smile.
"Okay then! Thank you, Grandpa!" Chu Runrun gave Ning Changbo a hug.
As he was speaking, Chu Qi came out of the room, holding a huge gift box in her hand.
"Grandpa, why did you give me so many things?"
Chu Qi opened the box and found twenty-six gifts inside, including bracelets, necklaces and bags.
"Xiaoqi, this is a gift from grandpa for you. You are 26 years old this year. In the past, grandpa gave you all the New Year gifts at once." Ning Changbo said with a smile.
Chu Qi's eyes were moist: "Grandpa, you gave me so much at once, how can I accept it?"
"How else can you collect it? Collect it with your hands. You are not allowed to give it up!" Ning Changbo said with a smile.
Chu Qi burst into laughter and said, "How can I refuse a gift from my grandfather?"
"Sister, today is New Year's Day, don't cry!" Chu Runrun quickly wiped away Chu Qi's tears.
Firecrackers rang outside, and Chu Runrun and Chu Qi hurriedly helped Ning Changbo out.
"Happy New Year, Lao Ning!"
Several elderly people who were familiar with Ning Changbo greeted him warmly when they passed by the door.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" Ning Changbo responded with a smile.
"Lao Ning, you got up so early today. Are you sober from last night?"
Monkie walked over with the help of Qi Chong and Meng An, leaning on a crutch.
"Grandpa Meng, Happy New Year!" Chu Runrun and Chu Qi said hurriedly.
"Ruanruan, Xiaoqi, Happy New Year. Xiaoan, quickly give the red envelopes I prepared last night to the two sisters!" Monkie said hurriedly.
Meng An immediately took out two brand new red envelopes from his arms and handed them to Chu Ruanruan and Chu Qi.
There isn't much money in the red envelope, but it's just for good luck.
"Thank you, Grandpa Meng!" Chu Runrun and Chu Qi said with a smile.
Ning Changbo also hurriedly took out red envelopes and distributed them to Meng An, Qi Chong and the other six people.
Meng An happily accepted it, but Qi Chong quickly refused:
"Grandpa Ning, we can't take this!"
"Why not take it? It's not a bribe, take it!" Ning Changbo said with a smile.
"Grandpa Ning, this..."
While Qi Chong was still hesitating, Meng An took the red envelope and stuffed it into Qi Chong and the others' hands.
"This is a blessing from Grandpa Ning. It is so precious and I can't refuse it!" Meng An said with a smile.
"Xiao An, what you said makes sense. Keep them all!" Monkie said with a smile.
"Okay then! Thank you, Grandpa Ning!" Qi smiled at them all.
"Let's go around the village and see which old guy hasn't gotten up yet!" Monkie said with a smile.
"Okay! Ruanruan, Xiaoqi, you two should go change your clothes quickly. Grandpa will take you to celebrate the New Year!"
"good!"
Soon, Chu Runrun and Chu Qi changed their clothes and went out with Ning Changbo.
As for Ning Yu and the other three and the adults, they stayed up too late last night and are still asleep.
After strolling around the village with Ning Changbo, Chu Runrun and Chu Qi had a lot of fruits and snacks in their hands, and both of them had their breakfast.
"Old Man Meng, bring these kids here for lunch at noon!" Ning Changbo said.
Monkie shook his head: "No, no! I have plenty of food there, we can just eat at home."
"Okay! I feel relieved that someone is taking care of you." Ning Changbo patted Monk's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Then we'll go back first."
"Hey, wait a minute, there are still a lot of snacks left from last night. You can take some back!" Ning Changbo said.
Meng Qi glanced at Meng An, Qi Chong and other children, and thinking that they liked to eat it, he asked Meng An to follow Chu Runrun to get it.
"Lao Ning, you said that I ate and took things from you, which made me feel shameless." Monkie said with a smile.
"Aren't you always thick-skinned? Are you afraid of taking such a small thing?" Ning Changbo teased.
Seeing Meng An take out the things, Meng Qi said, "Then we will leave first!"
"Okay, go slowly on the road!"
Monkey slowly left with the help of Qi Chong, leaning on his crutches.
When they walked under a tree, Monkey's lighter fell off, and Qi Chong immediately bent down to pick it up.
At this moment, the tree trunks right above their heads were shaking under the weight of the snow.
There was a loud crashing sound as ice and snow fell. Monkie looked up in confusion.
The tree trunk directly above broke with a snap, and the entire trunk, about two meters long and as thick as two adult men's arms, fell down.
"Lao Meng, be careful!" Ning Changbo shouted hurriedly.
It was too late for Monkey to hide.
Seeing the tree trunk falling straight down, the people close to Monkie had not yet reacted.
Meng An, who was still a few steps away from Monkie, almost subconsciously knocked the tree trunk away.
Everyone only saw that the tree trunk somehow deviated from its original falling path, but they could not see the black power emanating from Meng An's hand.
"Lao Meng, are you okay?" Ning Changbo hurried over.
Fortunately, only some snow fell on Monkey and the tree trunk did not hit him.
"I'm fine!" Monkie said quickly.
Meng An hurried over and looked Meng Qi up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was okay.
His hands, hidden in his sleeves, were trembling slightly. He looked at the others. They all looked normal, probably not noticing anything.
"Fortunately, nothing happened. It's really God's blessing! Xiao An, Qi Chong, quickly help Lao Meng go home." Ning Changbo said.
"good!"
After Monkie and the others left, Chu Ruanruan walked out from behind the gate with a serious look in her eyes.
She just saw clearly that the tree trunk was knocked away by Meng An.
Who exactly is Meng An? That power clearly carries an aura that makes her very uneasy.
