Chapter 130 You are lying, you just want to get married...
Overjoyed.
He finished the food in his hand in a few bites and stretched out his chubby little hand to take it.
The other children were also looking at them eagerly, and even Dabao had a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
He is usually strong because his family needs him to be the pillar of the family. Now everything is peaceful and life is stable, and he is just a half-grown child.
Cai opened her handkerchief with a smile.
Inside were four small silver ingots.
About one or two each.
At first glance, it looks like it was custom-made in a silversmith's shop. It is small, novel and beautiful.
There are words written on the bottom of the silver ingot, which are the year and time of this year.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
The children collectively exclaimed.
"I'll give each of you one. I'll give you one every year and write the year on each one. It depends on how long I can stay with you..."
They all took the small ingots and couldn't let them go.
Sanbao said firmly, "Stay with us forever! I want my mother to accompany me forever!"
Cai was relieved, "Okay! As long as you don't dislike me, I will always be with you."
Little Yuanbao took the little silver ingot that belonged to her and played with it over and over again, "Baby thanks mommy, baby loves mommy."
Baji.
She used practical actions to reassure Cai.
Cai held back the urge to cry, as it was not good to shed tears during the New Year.
"Mother, I love you too. I love you all."
Sanbao finally said, "It's a pity that such beautiful silver ingots cannot be used to buy delicious food." Then he added, "However, you can save them in the future and use them to marry a wife."
Now, Dabao and Erbao couldn't hold it anymore.
Erbao teased him, "Well, you're already thinking about getting married at such a young age! Your brother and I haven't even thought about it that way..."
Sanbao knew he had said something wrong and felt very embarrassed. "Pooh, pooh, pooh, I was wrong. I don't want to marry a wife. I just need a sister. I can collect these and give them to my sister as a dowry in the future..."
Little Yuanbao smiled so hard that his eyebrows and eyes were all curled up, "Third brother, you are lying, you just want to get married..."
Sanbao wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
The whole family laughed a lot.
After playing for a while, little Yuanbao couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to sleep.
One of them didn't want to go to bed, so he snuggled in Cai's arms and slept beside the charcoal fire.
Several brothers were still talking and eating.
The little girl's eyelids are already drooping.
She stared at her three brothers in a daze. Now, only her eldest brother's record of life and death had not been changed.
There have been changes in the life and death records of my second and third brothers.
They are no longer short-lived people, which means they have a normal life span.
With her efforts, she finally changed the fate of her two brothers.
Only the eldest brother is left.
There is also the stepmother Cai.
However, the fate of the eldest brother and the stepmother are connected. They both died together. If it can be changed, they would change it together.
Xiao Yuanbao, you are so awesome!
Finally, the little girl praised herself in her heart and fell asleep sweetly.
***
New Year's Day.
Tangjia Village became bustling early in the morning.
They are all New Year greetings.
Adults and children went in groups to visit neighboring villagers to wish them a happy new year, not leaving out any household.
The little kid was woken up in the middle of a sleep, and for once he wasn't angry. When he heard that they had to go to pay New Year's greetings, he jumped up.
Dabao and Erbao had woken up a long time ago.
In the second half of the night, they couldn't hold on any longer and took a short nap.
Dabao, in particular, got up early and, together with Cai, cleaned up the remnants of firecrackers from last night.
On the first day of the New Year, according to custom, you cannot throw away garbage, so just collect all the debris together and dispose of them together after the New Year.
Anyway, the yard and the venue are big.
Xiao Yuanbao's family was very popular. After everyone went to Uncle Li Zheng's house to pay New Year's greetings first, they would turn around and go to Xiao Yuanbao's house as the second family to pay New Year's greetings to them.
Cai prepared good tea and fruits to entertain the adults.
As for the children, they wanted some cakes and candies, so Cai gave each of them one piece.
As for the less valuable things like melon seeds, peanuts, dried peas, etc., we put them in full basins and left them there, allowing them to use their pockets to carry as much as they could.
It's just such a generous spirit that kids like it.
After filling their cups, the children felt guilty again.
Feeling guilty is easy to deal with. A clever kid suggested that everyone stand in a row, kneel down to Cai again, and wish a happy new year again.
It will not be empty anymore.
This caused all the villagers to burst into laughter.
In the countryside, people like to let their children wear clothes with big pockets during the New Year, so that when they go to pay New Year's greetings, there will be space for snacks distributed by the host. Usually, after visiting all the villagers, the pockets will be half full, which is considered a good harvest.
I didn't expect that in Xiao Yuanbao's home, he could have his pockets full as soon as he entered the house. Which kid wouldn't like such treatment?
After leaving Xiao Yuanbao's house, everyone went home to unload the goods, empty their pockets, and then go to the next house to pay New Year's greetings.
When Xiao Yuanbao got up, he did not follow the group like Sanbao.
Fortunately, Dabao and Erbao are still waiting for her.
The three brothers and sisters went out to pay New Year's greetings with the little white-haired boy who was growing stronger day by day.
Dabao and Erbao are both teenagers now, so they don’t need to kneel down to greet the guests like the little ones do. They just need to bend over and make a slight gesture. They don’t want the snacks from the host family anyway.
Little Yuanbao followed his elder and second brothers, so he didn't have to perform formal formalities.
Besides, the villagers didn't dare to accept her gift, even in special circumstances like New Year's greetings.
Country people are superstitious.
This little girl is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. Apart from the gods of heaven and earth, who else, including her parents, would dare to accept her gift?
Wouldn’t it be a disastrous consequence of suffering such a punishment?
Every household welcomed Xiao Yuanbao to come and pay New Year's greetings. After visiting several households, her big pockets were full and could not hold any more. Then she asked her eldest and second brothers to help her. In the end, both pockets were full, including her hands and skirt.
I have only visited half of the households in the village.
They have to give it to you if they don't want it. Otherwise, it would be like looking down on these uncles, aunts and cousins.
As a last resort, Xiao Yuanbao and his friends decided to take a shortcut back home, put their spoils of war aside before continuing to pay New Year's greetings.
Little White Hair followed Little Yuanbao all the way, looking very leisurely.
It doesn't bark even when it meets people.
Other puppies bark when they see people, but it is different. It is too lazy to bark at anyone it sees.
Otherwise, it is very white, with smooth fur, and is too beautiful to be ignored.
Others can't find it at all.
Someone even asked Xiao Yuanbao if the dog she raised was a dumb dog!
Of course it is not a dumb dog. If you don't give it food, it will bark loudly when it is hungry...
The shortcut requires passing through a wild river area.
The terrain is relatively low, and throughout the year it will be dry and exposed in winter, and flooded in other seasons.
So no one grows any crops here.
"Sister, be careful. There are dried clam shells on the ground. Dried clam shells can easily trip people..."
"Okay, second brother."
As he was speaking, the little white-haired cat suddenly started barking.
That's rare.
Outside, the little white-haired boy is just a dumb puppy. Why did he start barking for no apparent reason?
