Chapter 928: Pleasant Money (Additional Update 1)

All the children were saying blessings at the same time, but because there were too many people, they were talking all over the place, and it sounded like ducks quarreling, which made people’s ears hurt. .

After Lin An replied with "Happy New Year", he turned sideways and let the door open.

The children swarmed into the yard and shouted into the house: "Happy New Year to Grandma Lin!"

"Happy New Year to Aunt Wanning!"

"Happy New Year to Aunt Linquan!"

Mother Xu stood by the window, watching. The yard was crowded with children, and they exclaimed: "With so many children, I'm afraid all the children in the village are here, right?"

"Well, those nephews from Wang Hong's family are here. They thought we couldn't see them among the crowd. Come out!"

Xu's mother said with a smile: "Quanquan, those who are celebrating the New Year, don't worry about the children. After all, it is their elders who made the mistake, and it would be a bit innocent if they were implicated.

Lin Quan wanted to say that those of the Wang family were innocent. The child is not innocent at all.

Grandma Wang Hong always offends many people in the village, and her grandchildren have always been accustomed to bullying children who are weaker than them.

But Mother Xu is right. , there is no need to worry about a few children, which makes everyone feel bad and makes the New Year uncomfortable.

At this time, Xu Wanning was loading things into the fruit bowl,

"Aning, why did you mix so many coins. Go in? "Chen Ye asked doubtfully.

Xu Wanning patiently explained: "This is also a custom in our Dajiang Village. On the first day of the new year, the elders in the family will tell their children to go to the homes of respected people in the village to pay New Year's greetings. Whichever family has the most children proves that this family has the highest prestige in the village.

Village cadres such as the captain and village chief will not talk about it. After all, they are in charge of the people in the village. As long as they are not the kind of crazy people, Everyone will let their children go to pay New Year greetings on the first day of the new year.

Therefore, every year, the largest number of children come to pay New Year greetings to the families of the team leader and village chief.

Children pay New Year greetings early and may not even bother to eat breakfast, so the family being visited should prepare some food in advance as a way of thanking the children.

In fact, at the earliest, children who went to pay New Year greetings could get New Year's money, whether it was one cent or two cents, it was a little bit of kindness from the elders.

But then we encountered a difficult year, and every household suffered from famine. Every penny was divided into ten points to spend. How could there be any money left to give the children new year's money?

A few years later, the famine years passed, and this custom was picked up again.

Because according to previous sayings, the more generous the host family is, the more prosperous their life will be in the coming year.

But there are not many wealthy families in the village, and even if they are, they are reluctant to give out New Year's money to each child. Even if it is one cent per child, there are dozens of children in the village, and it is still a big expense.

Therefore, some one-cent coins will be placed in the food. Who can grab them depends on luck.

Xu Wanning can spend money to give each child New Year's money, but the problem is that there are almost no families in the village with such conditions.

Once she opens this hole, it will only make life difficult for the captain and the village chief.

So, she also put the coins on the plate with cookies and candies.

It's just that she released more, not to mention ensuring that every child can get it, but the probability is still much higher.

After listening to Xu Wanning's explanation, Chen Ye suddenly realized.

"I didn't expect that there were so many rules in rural areas. It's not like we celebrate the New Year in Beijing, where we give New Year's money to our children.

" Xu Wanning said with a smile: "Actually, there are many rules in rural areas, but it is precisely because of this that it is particularly special." It has a human touch. In a village, as long as it is not the kind of feud or hatred that involves lives, when a family encounters a difficult problem, most people in the village will rush to help.

"These things may not sound worth mentioning, but at critical moments It can really save lives. And the reason why everyone is so united is also accumulated bit by bit.

Chen Ye said thoughtfully: "Indeed, in comparison, it seems that people in the city have a lot less humanity

." I like this kind of New Year life more and more, An Ning, I want to come to Dajiang Village to celebrate the New Year next year.

"This is a good thing!" Mother Lin said: "As long as you don't mind the inconvenience of rural life, you are welcome to our family at any time." Now that my family has built a new house, the space is much larger. If you are willing, you can come every year in the future. It would be best if you invite your family to come together. The more people there are, the more lively it will be!

Chen Ye was very moved, "When I go back, I will tell my parents more about Dajiang Village and try to bring them to celebrate the New Year with me next year! " "

Although he knew that his parents had to take care of several relatives in Beijing and could not easily come here with her to celebrate the New Year, Chen Ye did have such an idea.

At this time, Xu Wanning had already gone out with the fruit plate.

She hadn't spoken yet. As she spoke, Lin An felt her body heat up.

Lin An went into the room to get a military coat and put it on her body.

"I'll throw it for you. I'm stronger.

" Xu Wanning gave the fruit plate to Lin An: "Remember, wait." When throwing, remember to take into account all directions, southeast, northwest, front, left, and right. It is best to throw it evenly so that the children can all get it.

"I know, I will try to divide it evenly."

The children said New Year greetings. From then on, he stared longingly at the fruit plate in Lin An's hand.

Grandma is right. The Lin family is the most generous family. The New Year’s Eve food includes not only biscuits, but also toffee, or White Rabbit toffee!

If I could eat a toffee on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it would be sweet for the whole year!

Dozens or hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the tray in Lin An's hand at the same time. He felt that he was under a lot of pressure, for fear that the distribution would be uneven and the children would be disappointed.

But there were too many children, and things were limited. There were always young and thin children who couldn't get them. Weeping and wailing could be heard one after another, and the yard was very lively.

"Aning, what should we do now?" Lin An looked at the crying children at a loss and couldn't think of a solution for a moment.

Xu Wanning spread her hands: "There are too many children, and I still have too few things to prepare.

" Let's let Song Han come and give everyone a candy.

She has plenty of toffee in her space, so take out some. Come and share it with the children, I don’t feel bad at all.

Moreover, giving things and giving money have different meanings, and they will not put pressure on the team leader and village chief.

"Okay, everyone, please stop crying.

Xu Wanning raised her voice and said something, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

The children who were crying just now could only sob and did not dare to cry.

Xu Wanning did not expect that she would It’s so shocking to say this.
