When Shui Bingyue woke up, it was already past eight in the morning. Anyway, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, children go around the village to pay New Year greetings, and there is nothing special.
In addition, my brothers are getting older and don’t like to run around. They always wait at home for other children to come to their door and give them candies and melon seeds.
When Shui Bokang saw that Shui Bingyue had finally gotten up, he put the candy in his hand into hers and said seriously: "Sister-in-law, this kind of candy is the most delicious. I'll give it to you."
Looking at the white rabbit toffee in the palm of her hand, Shui Bingyue felt warm and felt that the little guy's pain was not in vain.
She smiled and thanked: "Thank you Bo Kang. I wish you a happy new year and grow up quickly!"
Then he took out a red envelope from his satchel and stuffed it into his little nephew's hand.
Bai Lu saw this scene and said quickly: "Bingyue, you are still a child, there is no need to send red envelopes to Bo Kang."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry so much. I'll just give it to Bo Kang, so he can still afford it.
Maybe when my brothers get married and have children in the future, my wallet may be a little tighter, but now I have no pressure at all. "
Liu Xuemei waved to her daughter, and Shui Bingyue walked over: "What do you want from me?"
"Your breakfast is still warm in the pot. Go and eat quickly. Look at your thin face. Eat more."
Xiao Qi accompanied her sister to the kitchen and asked her curiously: "Did you sleep very late last night? I think you don't look very good today."
"I didn't go to bed until after twelve o'clock. Maybe it's because I haven't stayed up late for a long time, so my face looks a little bad."
Shui Bingyue didn't want to worry Brother Qi, so she didn't tell the truth. After all, no one knows about her magical power, and no one will understand it if she talks about it.
After Shui Bingyue finished breakfast, Xiao Qi took the dried meat she had saved from hunting and two frozen fish, and took her sister with her to pay Mr. Shen New Year greetings.
Shen Dongsheng was very happy and touched the heads of the two children respectively. Send them red envelopes.
Neither Xiaoqi nor Bingyue were willing to accept it. Shen Dongsheng pretended to be angry and said: "The elders gave it to me, and I can't refuse it. Since you respect me, you have to take my red envelope. It's not much money, but it's my heart."
After all, in the past few years in Qingshui Village, except for extreme weather such as rain and snow, he had to work on time every day, and he could get dozens of dollars at the end of the year.
Because he had Xiao Qi as his apprentice, he was guaranteed three meals a day and didn't spend much money. So each person wrapped a red envelope worth ten yuan.
Compared with his previous generosity, it is indeed very small. But this is the money he saved through a year of hard work, which is of great significance.
What's more, in the village, the New Year's money that children can get is only cents, and the highest is only fifty cents. Ten yuan is indeed a lot.
Shen Dongsheng looked at Shui Bingyue's new cotton-padded jacket and praised: "Bingyue is becoming more and more like a big girl. She is much taller than before. She is not as fashionable as a child in the village."
"My clothes and shoes are all bought by my brothers. They are either in Beijing or in provincial capital cities, so the things they buy are naturally more fashionable."
Xiao Qi quickly said: "When I work in the future, I will also buy good things for my sister."
The brother and sister chatted with Shen Dongsheng for an hour before saying goodbye and going home.
Yaya from Fang Xiyuan's family saw them leaving through the crack in the door, and then turned to her father and said, "Sister Bingyue's clothes are so beautiful. When I grow to be as big as my sister, can dad buy me one?" "
Lin Qiaoyun sighed slightly: "Yaya, we have to wait until we can leave Qingshui Village. But my parents don't know when they can leave here, so they can't promise you."
Yaya is quite well-behaved. After all, she is only two years old and has no resistance to beautiful clothes. It is a woman's nature to love beauty, but after being rejected, she is a good child if she doesn't cry or make fuss.
This is all because the old lady is living in Shui's house this year. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my eldest uncle and his wife and my second uncle and his wife came to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.
Boss Liu also asked the old lady: "Mom, do you want to go back and live with me? It's not suitable for my sister and brother-in-law to live here all the time."
Shui Shangqing smiled and asked his uncle: "What's wrong? Although I'm just a son-in-law, my mother has never treated me badly. In the past few years, it was all thanks to my mother who helped Xuemei raise the children. I It's right to keep her.
Besides, our place is easier to walk than the eldest brother and the second brother's place. The terrain is flat and the supplies are abundant. Mom can eat whatever she wants, don't worry we won't take good care of her. "
The old lady also spoke: "I can see Bingyue and Bokang every day here. I feel that my life is interesting and my body and bones are getting better. I won't go back to the mountain with you."
After receiving such a reply, Boss Liu stopped mentioning the matter.
Liu Xuemei asked Liu Laoer: "Second brother, why don't you see Goudan'er?"
"He was picked up by his uncle. After all, the child is about to enter the first grade. He lives with his grandma in the city and can go to a good school."
"Indeed, the educational conditions in the city are better than here. It's not too far away."
After a reunion dinner at the Shui family, Shui Shangqing sent Xiao Wu to drive a donkey cart to take his two uncles and aunt back to their homes. It’s not snowing this winter, so it’s quite convenient to visit relatives.
Xiao Wu rushed back quickly. Unexpectedly, it started to snow on the night of the second day of the lunar new year. It doesn't look like it won't snow, it just came a little late.
Then Xiaobai, who had disappeared for several years, suddenly came back. He found Shui Bingyue's room exactly and knocked on the door with his paw.
Shui Bingyue opened the door and found it. She was very happy and picked up Xiaobai: "You are back. You have grown up a lot and you look a lot fatter. Why have you disappeared for so long?"
Xiaobai kept making cheerful calls, and Shui Bingyue understood its words through the secret of animal language: "Master, the last time I left home and went to the mountains, I was almost killed. I ran very far away. A place to recuperate.
I met a kindred spirit and we lived together. We are together, I have a baby in my belly and I need your help. "
It's really surprising, but because Xiaobai is here, there are a lot of good things at home. She can afford to raise a few more minks.
Shui Bingyue took out the nest she had made for Xiaobai and let it rest. The old lady saw her granddaughter working late and asked curiously: "Is this the one I raised before?"
"Yes, it is it. I always thought it would never come back. It seems that our fate is not over."
After Xiaobai was settled, the grandfather and grandson slept together. Even if there is heavy snow falling outside, I don't feel cold. After all, I sleep on a kang.
When Shui Bingyue woke up the next day, she found her grandma squatting next to Xiaobai's nest, not knowing what she was looking at.
"Grandma, why did you wake up so early? What are you looking at?"
