Chapter 182: Give out New Year's money
"Where is Mi Xia?" Aunt Liu asked curiously.
"Xiao Xia is in the kitchen." Wang Fen said with a smile. She didn't know how proud she was to have such a daughter-in-law who could make money, was good at cooking, was filial and could make money.
"Xiao Xia is very virtuous." Aunt Liu praised her without any reservation, swallowing her saliva as she spoke.
"I haven't eaten Xiaoxia's cooking for a long time. I really miss it." Aunt Liu continued.
"Xiao Xia is very busy now. I can't eat her cooking often." Wang Fen sighed deliberately.
"Xiao Xia's case is indeed a big deal. Otherwise, that kid Haoyue would have gotten there first. I would have wanted to kidnap her to be my daughter-in-law." Aunt Liu joked.
"Then you have no chance, Xiao Xia is already my daughter-in-law." Wang Fen said proudly.
"Let's go check on the three kids."
…
"These three children are so cute. I want to steal one and take it home." Aunt Liu said enviously.
The only bad thing about Mi Xia is probably that she doesn't like her daughter-in-law. Look, she's good at art, can make money, and can give birth to children.
"It's time to eat." Mi Xia came out of the kitchen with a plate of food in her hand.
As soon as everyone heard that it was time to eat, they went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes to the table. They couldn't let Mi Xia do everything, right? Then they wouldn't have the face to eat it.
"I'll go set off the firecrackers." Liu Haoyue volunteered.
"Brother, I'm going too." Liu Yu also said.
Mi Xia smiled and shook her head. Why are these two brothers like children and even like to play with firecrackers?
It was not until the sound of "crackling" was heard outside that everyone sat down happily.
"I won't say any more, let's eat." The old man said mischievously.
The only sound that could be heard afterwards was the clinking of chopsticks. No one was in the mood to talk, as their eyes were fixed on the food on the table.
The host and the guests had a great time during the meal. "Xiao Xia is really good at this." Uncle Liu gave a thumbs up.
"Third uncle, thank you for the compliment."
A large group of people sat on the sofa and chatted after dinner. Peanuts, melon seeds and cakes were placed on the table. Everyone watched TV, ate and chatted.
The atmosphere was very lively. "Mom, I'll go see the kids first." Mi Xia said in a low voice.
"Okay, you should be hungry by now." After Wang Fen said that, Mi Xia quietly left the room.
"Wife, I'm here to help you."
…
The whole family put on new clothes. Later, Lao Huang and Qian Huimin wanted to go back, but the old man disagreed and insisted that they stay and live together.
At night, lights were on in the yard and the house, and peanuts, melon seeds, candies and cakes were placed on the tables.
Sitting in the living room watching TV, it was so lively. Mi Xia couldn't help but think of her eldest brother, but her eldest brother and the others had to spend the New Year with the farm staff.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?" Liu Haoyue noticed Mi Xia's unhappiness.
"It's okay, I just miss my brother and the others." Mi Xia said sullenly.
"Then I'll take you to see them tomorrow? Okay?" Liu Haoyue coaxed softly.
"Okay, let's watch TV and don't affect their mood." Mi Xia said with a smile on her face.
"good."
She was very happy on such a New Year's Eve. She had a husband who loved her, a family who cared about and supported her, and several lovely children. She was already very content.
Such a simple, lively and family reunion New Year's Eve made Mi Xia feel warm and cozy in her heart.
There is no feeling of superiority. We are just old and young and can chat together.
It's twelve o'clock, the wall clock rings, and the New Year has arrived.
"Happy New Year." Everyone wished each other.
"Mom, let's go out and set off fireworks." Liu Wanwan said with light in her eyes.
"Yeah." Mi Xia stroked Liu Wanwan's head and replied, and at the same time, the sound of firecrackers was heard outside.
The smell of firecrackers spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto, and the festive atmosphere seemed to become stronger.
As Liu Haoyue lit the fireworks, with a "bang", the fireworks broke through the darkness and flew towards the sky. Mi Xia only hoped that their family could be safe and healthy.
Xiaoxiao, Wanwan and Xiaojiu all cheered when they saw the flashing fireworks.
Looking at the children's smiles, Mi Xia's heart calmed down. Although the fireworks now were very simple, she could feel happy.
"Wife, it's great to have you around." Liu Haoyue's low and magnetic voice rang in Mi Xia's ears. This man can't get too close to him, his ears are about to get pregnant.
After playing with fireworks, the children were very sleepy. "Go back to bed and play again tomorrow." Following the old man's order, everyone went back to their rooms to wash up and go to bed.
…
"Haoyue, I can't bear to leave you and my home." Mi Xia was not being pretentious, she was leaving soon and felt very reluctant.
"It's okay, my wife. We still have space. You can come back whenever you want." Liu Haoyue said, patting Mi Xia on the back.
"Go to bed."
…
Early the next morning, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lao Huang cooked the glutinous rice balls.
"It's time to give out the New Year's money." Liu Wanwan ran over after the old man gave the order.
"Thank you, grandpa." Liu Wanwan said happily holding the red envelope.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaojiu, come here. You have some too." The old man called out to them.
"Grandpa, we came here as guests, no need to be polite." Qian Huimin said embarrassedly.
"This is what I give to the children, not to you, so you can't refuse." After the old man said this, Qian Huimin didn't know what to say.
"Go ahead, and remember to thank your great-grandfather," Qian Huimin reminded.
"Thank you, great grandfather." Qian Xiaoxiao said happily. She had never received lucky money before. This was the first time and this year was also the happiest one for her.
She was not beaten or forced to work, and she was given delicious food and new clothes. Qian Xiaoxiao will remember this New Year for the rest of her life, and she would say it was the most memorable and happiest time in her life.
After giving out red envelopes to the children, the old man gave red envelopes to Mi Xia and the others. When the old man called out Qian Huimin, she did not refuse and took it obediently.
"Thank you, old man." Qian Huimin said with tears in her eyes.
After that, Wang Fen and her friends gave red envelopes to the children, and Mi Xia and her friends gave red envelopes to the children. The children smiled so hard that their mouths stretched to their ears.
Mi Xia did not confiscate the children's New Year's money like the elders in later generations, saying, "You are too young, so I will keep it for you."
Wanwan is grown up now, and without her help to save it, the little girl has the right to control her New Year's money.
After everyone got their lucky money, they sat down to eat the glutinous rice dumplings. "Hui Min, don't stop your classes. You have to keep going as long as you have time, okay?"
"I know, don't worry. After studying, I realized how insignificant I am. I was too complacent with my previous achievements."
Qian Huimin lowered her head as she spoke. She knew everything. If you still didn't know her after staying in Kyoto for so long, you would be a fool.
