Qibao twitched his lips, finding it a little funny. Nowadays, even wolves get lucky money. This makes no sense.
"Confiscate it! How could you spend money? I'll save it for you, as a fund for your future wives." Qibao held two cloth bags in his hands.
Bai Tian looked at Qi Bao with gentle eyes, and a small section of her pink tongue stuck out slightly, which made Qi Bao want to reach out and pull it.
“Miss, are you taking the red envelopes from Bai Tian and Bai Yan?”
Yaya's voice came from behind Qibao.
Qibao turned around and smiled, "Yeah, Yaya, were you the one who took them to the village during the day to ask for New Year's money?"
Yaya thought Qibao was angry about this, so she ran to Qibao, hugged Qibao's hand and said, "Miss, no, it was Baitian and Baiyan who came with us to pay New Year's greetings to the uncles and aunts in the village. The uncles and aunts forced the rabbits on Baitian and thanked them for the rabbits they had given them before."
Qibao looked at Yaya's anxious expression as she tried to explain herself, patted her head and said with a smile, "I'm not angry, but you're so anxious."
When Yaya heard that the young lady was not angry, she immediately laughed and said, "Young lady, I gave these two small cloth bags to Bai Tian and Bai Yan. My mother made them for me to carry things in."
Qibao smiled and said, "Then I'll return them to you later."
Yaya immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, this is a gift from me to Bai Tian and Bai Yan. They often play with me and we are friends, so there is no need to return them. Besides, I have several more!"
Qibao smiled and said, "Yaya is awesome."
Yaya was praised by Qibao and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
Qibao returned to his room and prepared a small box specifically for Bai Tian and Bai Yan, and poured all the copper coins into it in front of them.
"This is your two New Year's money. I'll keep it for you, but you can keep it for yourselves." Qibao said with a smile.
Bai Tian was the smartest one. With a quick turn of his eyes, he used his nose to push his small wooden box under Qibao's bed.
Qibao burst out laughing when he saw this. He didn't expect that someone would hide money in the daytime!
Seeing this, Baiyan, who was standing by, did the same.
Qibao came to the yard and saw Xiaoliu Ge and his family servants gathered together, fiddling with something.
So I went closer and saw that they were making fireworks. There were already a bunch of them next to them. This was what Qibao had taught them before.
"Sister, let's set off fireworks together tonight. Brother Liu made a lot!" Xiaoliu saw Qibao and presented the finished fireworks to Qibao like presenting treasures.
Qibao cooperated with a look of surprise and said, "Thank you, Sixth Brother. I like it very much."
Seeing his sister's happy face, Xiao Liu was full of energy. He waved his hand and ordered, "Make more. Everyone will have a share tonight."
With everyone busy, the New Year's Eve dinner was ready, and it was almost dark.
After everyone arrived at the table, the old man stood up and said with a smile, "Come on, everyone, raise your glasses. I hope that in the new year, each of us can achieve greater success, everything will go smoothly, and we will be in good health! Cheers!"
The old man tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass, and everyone else did the same, drinking not a drop left.
Putting down his wine glass, the old man said, "Okay, let's sit down and eat!"
Fortunately, the main hall of the Xu family was large enough to accommodate three or four tables. Because it was Chinese New Year, a festive day, Wang did not keep servants around to serve them, and she also arranged a table of the same food for them.
As everyone was talking, Zhang smiled and said, "Look, after this year, even Qibao, the youngest child, is already twelve years old. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, she has grown from a little girl into a big girl."
Wang looked at the table next to her and saw her granddaughter talking to her brothers with a smile on her face.
"Qibao has grown up!" Wang suddenly sighed. Thinking that the girl had grown up and it was time for her to talk about her husband's family, she felt uncomfortable.
Qibao was raised in the palm of her hand. She loved and doted on her granddaughter in every way. When she thought about not being able to see Qibao all the time after she got married, her heart suddenly felt a little sad and her eyes felt swollen and uncomfortable.
Zhang, who was sitting next to her, noticed that something was wrong with Wang and asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Wang smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just thought about when Qibao was just born. He was a little ball of goodness, and he didn't cry much. Later, he slowly learned to walk, and followed me around all day, calling me grandma all the time. Now, without realizing it, Qibao is already twelve years old, and I just feel a little emotional."
Zhang said, "Mother, we should be happy when this child grows up!"
Wang smiled and patted the back of Zhang's hand, saying, "Oh! Mother is happy, very happy!"
The two spoke in low voices and did not attract the attention of others.
At the dinner table, everyone toasted each other and the meal lasted until the moon was high and the stars were sparse.
"Let's all get together tonight to celebrate the New Year. It will be more lively with more people around and it won't be easy to get sleepy," said Wang.
"good!"
Sun also replied with a smile.
After people cleaned up the dining table, brought in a lot of snacks and tea, and brought in a few stoves, the whole main hall suddenly became warm.
Xiaoliu couldn't wait to pick up the fireworks sticks he had made during the day and went to the yard.
The maids and servants in the house also ran over to join in the fun, including the Twelve Guards.
Xiao Liu distributed a few fireworks to each buyer, took out a tinder and lit the fireworks stick in his hand. The orange fireworks were like a beautiful meteor shower, gradually falling to the ground. The top kept spraying in all directions, like a small golden chrysanthemum, beautiful and dazzling.
Yaya was so excited that she circled around Xiaoliu, staring at the fireworks in Xiaoliu's hand with shining eyes.
It was Qibao who helped her light the firework stick in her hand, so that she didn't have to watch others play with it.
The Xu family yard suddenly became lively. Although the smoke was a bit thick, it did not affect everyone's interest at all. It was not until all the firework sticks were used up that everyone returned to the main hall with a sense of unsatisfied desire.
When Wang saw her granddaughter coming in, she immediately waved and said, "Qibao, come here, grandma."
Qibao obediently sat next to Wang.
Wang grabbed Qibao's hand and said, "Well, it's not too cold, but I just came in from outside, so I'm still a little chilly. Just sit here and warm yourself up."
Qibao nodded obediently, hugged Wang's arm and held her in his arms.
Wang smiled dotingly. She really liked her granddaughter being close to her, so she took Qibao's hand and placed it in her own palm, fearing that Qibao would feel cold.
The old man suddenly said, "Xiao Wu, don't you like to practice dancing? While everyone is here, why don't you show us a few dance moves? Just treat it as a performance."
