Chapter 416: Is my uncle that easy to please?
Chu Xiuli tied the old lady's hair into a bun and inserted two red agate hairpins into it. She also matched it with a dark red satin down coat that Xie Tianzong had specially made for her. The whole person looked particularly festive.
Everyone in the family wore new clothes. Zhou Muchu also wore a red head and two red balls in front of his ears.
As soon as the old lady went out and had not yet reached the living room, he ran over impatiently, knelt down, kowtowed to the old lady, and said auspicious words.
"Happy New Year, Grandma."
"Mu Chu wishes you all the best in the new year. My uncle will find you a daughter-in-law."
These words touched the old lady's heart. She smiled and helped Zhou Muchu up. She pinched his face and said kindly, "Good boy, you are getting better and better at speaking. You are so smart! Grandma also wishes you a happy new year."
"This is the New Year's money your grandma gave you." She said as she took out a red envelope from her bag.
There is no way!
There are too many people at home.
If I don’t take a bag, there’s nowhere to put it.
Zhou Muchu's eyes widened. "Grandma, you are so kind. I love you. When I grow up, I will buy you lots of clothes and give you a lot of grandchildren to play with."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Old Master Wen was amused. "You are so young, but you are so arrogant! You have so many children, and you are just a little kid yourself!"
"Then I will grow up!"
Zhou Muchu blinked his grape-like black eyes and said seriously, "I give birth to one child a year, so in ten years I will have ten children!"
Seeing Xie Tianzong passing by, he immediately started to attack Xie Tianzong.
"I will definitely not be like my uncle, who is already an old man and still hasn't married or had children, only to cause my grandmother to worry."
"Uncle, shame on you!"
He's an old man?
Still shy?
Xie Tianzong smiled, and as he was about to walk into the yard, he turned back and kicked Zhou Muchu to the ground.
"Wait until you grow as tall as me before you talk about getting married."
"Whose girl likes shorty guys?"
He said this and walked away.
The old lady was so angry, "Xie Tianzong, how old are you and still so petty?"
"Look at how you kicked Mu Chu?"
As she spoke, she pulled Zhou Muchu up. Zhou Muchu took the opportunity to pretend to cry and successfully coaxed a red envelope from her.
Wen Jiu saw this and asked for it coquettishly, "Hey, little fatty, you've taken all the red envelopes from grandma, grandma, I want some New Year's money too."
"Okay, okay."
"All of them."
The old lady was very happy, "Go and call your parents and aunt over, give them the New Year's gift money and we can have a good breakfast."
You should eat early breakfast on the first day of the new year.
Wen Jiu understood it according to his own meaning and thought that this might mean that the early bird catches the worm, and he hoped that he would have no worries about food and drink this year.
After all, people used to depend on the weather for their food, so for farmers, having a good harvest and having enough food to eat was a great thing.
Wenjiu quickly called everyone over, and everyone very consciously lined up in the main hall according to age. After all, they had been doing this for so many years and they knew it.
Chu Xiuli was in first place, Wen Zhenhua followed behind her in second place, and the fat boy Zhou Muchu followed secretly at the end of the team.
Before receiving the red envelope——
You have to kneel down and kowtow to the old lady to wish her a happy new year and say a few auspicious words.
This is a family tradition.
Old Master Wen sat nearby, looking at the long line of people in the room with eyes full of envy. He was now just waiting to see his grandchildren, and after seeing them he would go down and tell the old lady about it.
When it was Zhou Muchu's turn, he knelt down again, kowtowed to the old lady and said auspicious words, but he didn't remember enough auspicious words and he got stuck before he could say anything.
Seeing that his face turned red with anxiety, Xie Tianzong narrowed his eyes comfortably, took out a red envelope from his pocket and waved it in front of him.
"Talk?"
"Don't you want the New Year's money?"
"Happy New Year, uncle." Zhou Muchu said and stood up hurriedly to receive the red envelope.
Xie Tianzong raised his hand and sneered, "You want to get money just for saying Happy New Year?"
"Is my uncle that easy to coax?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Wen Jiu and asked, "Aren't you going to wish your uncle a happy new year?"
Wen Jiu hurriedly said: "Uncle, Jiu wishes you a happy new year and everything goes well.
"Good luck and happiness."
"I live a carefree life."
"Not bad." Xie Tianzong was satisfied and gave the red envelope in his hand to Wen Jiu.
Wen Jinyan also followed suit.
After two rounds, Wenjiu's pockets were filled with red envelopes. The fat boy got a lot of money just by saying "Happy New Year". He even gave red envelopes to his cousin Wenjiu, because he was the youngest one!
Age means convenience.
When it was time to eat, Xie Tianzong took Wen Jinyan and the others to the yard to set off firecrackers, accompanied by the crackling sound of firecrackers.
The new year has officially begun.
The steaming hot dumplings were served on the table and everyone gathered together to eat the dumplings.
The dumplings are in the shape of gold ingots, with bulging bellies that look particularly energetic.
"Wow, I ate a silver dollar. This year I will definitely grow as tall as my uncle." The little fat boy exclaimed after eating the silver dollar.
Soon after, other people started eating.
“I ate it, too.”
"Tsk, that's a bit annoying."
"Ajiu is so lucky."
…
It was daybreak after breakfast, and Zheng Zhongzhou and Chu Yanqing and their spouses left with their children, leaving only Wen Jiu's family behind.
The old lady laughed and said, "You two! You hide here every year. Others who want to pay New Year's greetings to you can't even get a sip of water."
Wen Zhenhua said cheerfully, "It's okay. They should be used to it after so many years."
Chu Xiuli also laughed, "What's wrong, Mom? Do you think our family is annoying?"
Since Wen Zhenhua climbed up the ladder, there have been a lot of people visiting his home every year for New Year's greetings. Gifts are not so easy to accept. If you accept a gift, you have to accept the other person's favor and do something for them. The two of them were too lazy to deal with them so they just avoided them.
When the New Year is almost over, just invite those close to you home to have some fun.
The old lady said angrily, "What are you talking about? I'm so happy, how can you complain about it?"
"you do not say?"
Wen Jiu hugged the old lady's arm and said, "My grandma will never dislike me. Am I right, grandma?"
"That's for sure."
The old lady's face was full of doting, "You can dislike anyone, but you can't dislike our Jiu!"
“Grandma is so nice!”
Seeing that Wen Jiu was so obsessed with the old lady that he forgot about himself, Old Master Wen deliberately covered his mouth and coughed twice.
Wenjiu came over quickly and patted him on the back, and a smile appeared on his face again. He even glanced at Old Lady Chu with a smug look.
Look!
My granddaughter still likes me the most!
She became concerned as soon as I coughed.
Not long after, the army called to say that Wen Zhenhua had something to do and left. Xie Tianzong played chess with Old Man Wen, while Chu Xiuli and Wen Jinyan drank some wine and played cards with Old Lady Chu.
The door of the Chu family was tightly closed, and all those who came to pay New Year's greetings were turned away. They returned dejectedly, carrying their things.
