From the Siheyuan, I started to run around in the world

Qin Huairu held Sophora japonica and moved closer to Zhang Dongliang.

What about Huaihua? I originally wanted to give Huaihua two yuan as a New Year's gift, but then I thought better of it and decided to give her five yuan as an equal.

Zhang Dongliang took out 5 yuan and stuffed it between Huaihua's two granaries. Huaihua thought Zhang Dongliang was coming to steal her food again, so she protected her granary tightly with both hands and glared at Zhang Dongliang, which made everyone laugh.

Sha Zhu and his wife also came over with their child.

"Happy New Year, Brother Zhu and Sister-in-law."

"Happy New Year, Dongliang, Jingru, and Yushui."

"He Xiao, auntie is here. Call me auntie~~h~~you still don't know how to call me auntie. Come, let auntie hold you, and auntie will give Xiaoxiao New Year's money." He Yushui teased the child.

Sha Zhu's child was too young to kowtow, so Zhang Dongliang naturally didn't care and gave him 10 yuan as a New Year's money.

It was already noon when he finished dealing with all these things, and Zhang Dongliang was ready to give out New Year's money to the adults.

My own wife Qin Jingru gave 100 yuan, He Yushui 30 yuan. Qin Huairu~~ Never mind, I'll give her 30 yuan too.

"Brother Dongliang, why are you giving me so much money? I can't spend it."

"Jingru, just take the pocket money. Go out and buy two candied haws at a time. We can eat one and throw away the other."

"How can he be such a spendthrift as you say." Qin Jingru had never heard of these jokes from later generations. She smiled and hugged Zhang Dongliang's arm and shook it.

This is not low, 30 yuan is equivalent to a worker's monthly salary. Only Zhang Dongliang is rich and has too much money to spend, so he is so wasteful.

Not counting other things, the 8 tons of pork before the New Year alone cost nearly yuan. There is really no place to spend it these days.

Qin Huairu was so happy that she wanted to melt Zhang Dongliang on the spot.

Seeing Qin Huairu's greed for money, Qin Jingru became more and more disgusted with her cousin.

In order to make his young wife have a happier and more fulfilling New Year's celebration, Zhang Dongliang took out some fireworks on the first night of the New Year and asked Qin Jingru and Yu Shui to light them themselves.

Lighting the fuse of fireworks is a test for women. Amid the screams of the two women, the fireworks bloomed brilliantly.

Where had Qin Jingru seen such colorful fireworks? Looking at Qin Jingru's excited expression, Zhang Dongliang felt that it was worth it.

Not only Qin Jingru, but everyone in the courtyard who saw the fireworks was mesmerized by them.

For people in the hospital, who would be willing to buy this thing? It's so expensive. To be honest, there is no opportunity to watch fireworks up close like this.

When Qin Huairu arrived holding the locust flowers, the fireworks were already over.

She was very confused. Why did delicious and fun things always happen when she was not around? Was it because she was a widow?

Early in the morning on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Zhang Dongliang was still asleep when he heard someone banging on the door.

Who the hell didn't let Dad sleep? Zhang Dongliang got up angrily and opened the door. It turned out that Yu Haitang was standing outside the door shivering with cold.

"Ah, Haitang~~Why are you here so early?"

Yu Haitang's face looked very bad. After he went into the house and drank a cup of hot water to warm himself up, Zhang Dongliang finally understood why Yu Haitang came so early.

It turned out that after Yu Haitang brought gifts home on New Year's Eve, her parents were very happy, but the New Year's Eve dinner was very shabby.

He said that we couldn’t eat all the fish and meat at once, and that we should leave some for our younger brother to nourish his body, and that he should eat them slowly over time.

Yu Haitang was very unhappy. It had been like this since she was a child. All the delicious food was left for her younger brother, and she and Yu Li had never eaten good food.

She didn't want to stay at home in the afternoon of the first day of the New Year, but her parents disagreed, saying it was not good for her to be away on the first day of the New Year.

Dinner was not pleasant again. If she hadn't considered it unsafe for a girl to go out at night, she would have come over last night.

After barely staying at home for another night, Yu Haitang, unable to bear it any longer, rushed over early in the morning.

"This~~~" Zhang Dongliang scratched his head. It was not convenient for him to butt in on other people's family affairs.

Now that you're here, let's have breakfast together.

At this time, Qin Jingru and Yu Shui also got up.

Yes, He Yushui didn't leave last night. But he wasn't drunk last night, so it was impossible for the three of them to sleep together, so He Yushui just slept in the small bedroom.

But Qin Jingru couldn't save face and insisted on sleeping with He Yushui in the small bedroom. Zhang Dongliang had no choice but to sleep alone in the big bedroom.

After breakfast, Yu Haitang patted her stomach and felt much better. Living in such a warm place and eating such food was like living a normal life.

"Haitang, I'll give you a red envelope for the New Year."

Yu Haitang, who had just been upset about the New Year, didn't expect that happiness would come so quickly.

"Really, Brother Dongliang? And my red envelope?"

"Can this still deceive you?"

Zhang Dongliang originally planned to give Yu Haitang a red envelope of 10 yuan. After thinking about it, he realized that she had been following him around and seducing him for more than a year, and he even bought her White Rabbit the day before yesterday.

It's a bit unreasonable to give 10 yuan to the same level as the children. Give 20 yuan, anyway it's one level lower than the rain.

Yu Haitang took the red envelope, but she didn't expect the amount to be so large. It was more than her sister's salary for a month's odd job.

Yu Haitang was so happy that she hugged Zhang Dongliang and said "Mmm", then kissed him. After the kiss, Yu Haitang felt a little guilty and secretly looked at Qin Jingru and Yushui.

The people around them had no reaction. No one was surprised, nor was they unhappy. They just watched them perform calmly.

Yu Haitang felt like a failure. Just as she was about to go forward and kiss him again, Zhang Dongliang pushed her away.

Accidentally pushing a soft spot on the chest, Zhang Dongliang withdrew his hand awkwardly.

Yu Haitang didn't care about it at all. Instead, she thrust her chest forward and looked at Zhang Dongliang provocatively. Damn, this girl is really fierce. I can't afford to offend her. Zhang Dongliang didn't dare to look at her anymore and turned his head away quickly.

Not long after breakfast, Lou Xiao'e came to pay New Year's greetings. Zhang Dongliang had known that Lou Xiao'e would come today. They had agreed on this before the New Year when she stayed overnight at Lou's house.

"Oh, it's Sister Xiao'e. Happy New Year, Sister Xiao'e."

"Happy New Year to Dongliang, Happy New Year to Jingru, Happy New Year to Yushui, and Happy New Year to Haitang."

For a moment, several women were talking at the same time, making it very lively.

"Sister Xiao'e, come and try on your new sweater."

"What new sweater?" Lou Xiao'e was a little confused.

"Oh, you'll know if you come and take a look." Qin Jingru pulled Lou Xiao'e into the inner room.

Lou Xiao'e put on a new sweater and felt warm in her heart.

Lou Xiao'e had no shortage of clothes, and sweaters were not expensive. She felt warm and happy because she was recognized by everyone and had integrated into Zhang Dongliang's small circle.

Lou Xiao'e came out wearing a new sweater and stood with everyone else. Wow, the four women were wearing sweaters of the same pattern, which was really neat.

Just like Lou Xiao'e has no shortage of clothes, she also has no shortage of money. But Zhang Dongliang still wants to give her a red envelope.

How much should I give? It must be lower than Qin Jingru's and higher than He Yushui's. The ancients said that things go up and down. Since I'm already in the top position, I'll give a 70 yuan red envelope.

Zhang Dongliang handed the red envelope to Lou Xiaoe, and she did not refuse. She knew that the significance of this red envelope was not the amount of money, but that she became a part of this circle.
