A car accident, our family of three crossed

In Shangtang Village, on the morning of the first day of the New Year, after breakfast, Song Ning gave red envelopes to everyone one by one, giving each person one or two taels of silver.

Not much, just for good luck.

Even the old man had a share. The old man had lived for so many years, what good things had he not seen? He could easily pull out a valuable item.

But so what? At this moment, he was holding the red envelope that could not be any smaller, and was as happy as a child.

The three little ones were also very happy with the red envelopes in their pockets. Not to mention Yangyang's pocket money, he earned more than his father thanks to the dividends from "Hulu Ji".

Song Ning collected most of the money for him, leaving only some small amounts of change or copper coins in his own piggy bank, which he could withdraw whenever he needed. Of course, the purpose of withdrawing the money still had to be approved by her.

As for Mu Dun and Chen Xiaobao, Song Ning would give them pocket money from time to time, and they didn't have many opportunities to spend money, so they saved up a few coins at a time. Now, they have saved a lot of pocket money.

Now that they had received another huge sum of one or two taels of silver, their small treasury had become much fatter, and they suddenly felt that they were very rich.

Isn't it true that they are rich? There are some poor families where even if the whole family gets together, they probably can't even raise one or two ounces of silver!

Also saving a lot of money were Chen Laoer and his wife and a few young men.

In addition to their monthly wages, Song Ning would also give them bonuses during festivals. After saving for a few months, they could save much more than ordinary people working in the county.

Moreover, they were slaves and were not allowed to have private affairs. If they had not met a good master, such a good thing would never have happened to them.

I gave red envelopes to everyone in the family. Soon, I heard the laughter of children outside, and they came here to wish a happy new year and ask for red envelopes.

Song Ning asked Xu to put out the prepared candies, cakes and other snacks, and let the children choose to eat them. At the same time, he also took out the pre-wrapped red envelopes and gave them to the children.

The red envelopes given to others are naturally different from those given to one's own family. There are only ten copper coins in the red envelope, which is actually not a small amount.

The children happily received the red envelopes, each grabbed a handful of snacks and put them in their pockets, and then went to the next house.

Song Ning sent Yangyang and the other three to go out and play together, and followed the Boy Scout team to go door to door to ask for red envelopes.

No matter how much red envelope you receive, it is never too little; what matters is asking for good luck.

Yangyang and the other two followed the large group around the entire village and received quite a few red envelopes. However, they did not have the time to open the envelopes to see how much was in them. They just stuffed all the red envelopes into their own small cloth bags.

The last stop was Sun's house. Aunt Sun naturally treated Yangyang and the other three children differently from other children in the village. The red envelopes given to all the children in the village were the same, but when it was their turn, she gave each of them a big red envelope.

After receiving their red envelopes and eating some snacks, the children went back to their respective homes and mothers. Only Yangyang and the other two stayed at Sun's house to play with Xiao Shitou.

"Shi Tou, have you not gone to our house to receive the red envelopes yet? My mother gave us a big red envelope! Go quickly! My mother will definitely give you a big red envelope too."

Little Shitou was so moved by Yangyang's words that he quickly ate his breakfast and followed the three of them to the Hang family.

Just as the children were getting ready to go out, a stranger came to the door.

"Excuse me, is this Aunt Guilian's home?"

Aunt Sun was a little confused. How could a stranger come to the village during the New Year and come to visit their family by name?

"Uh, yes, it's our house." Aunt Sun asked doubtfully, "Brother, why did you come to our house?"

The visitor seemed afraid of finding the wrong person, so he mentioned the names of Sun Baomei and Wang Jin, and repeatedly confirmed with Aunt Sun. After receiving a positive reply, he nodded as if relieved.

After the other party's repeated confirmation, Aunt Sun seemed to realize something and the festive smile on her face suddenly froze.

When he saw the other party taking out a flower woven from white silk from the ox cart, his face changed drastically, "What, what is this?"

That white flower is usually used to announce a death.

If it is an ordinary day, people usually ask acquaintances to report a death so as to avoid mistakes. After all, reporting the wrong death is bad luck for others.

In addition, there are funeral bureaus in the county town that specialize in arranging funerals. If the host family cannot find a suitable person and it is inconvenient for them to go to report the death, they can spend some copper coins and ask the people from the funeral bureau to make a trip.

"Sister-in-law, I'm from the county funeral bureau. I'm here to report a death. Your daughter and son-in-law are busy, so they asked us to come and inform you." The man handed the white flower to Aunt Sun, told her who had passed away, and then said goodbye and left.

Except for the old couple, no one else in the Sun family knew about Aunt Wang's situation, and they were all shocked when they heard the news.

"Sister, how come it happened so soon..." Aunt Sun had already started wiping away her tears. Although she had known that this day would come, she had not expected it to come so soon.

"Mom, why did Aunt Wang pass away so suddenly..." Shitou Niang came over and supported Aunt Sun who was wiping her tears. She still found it hard to believe the news.

Auntie Wang is such a nice person! She came to visit the village a while ago to chat, but how come she left just a short while later?

Uncle Sun said with a serious face, "Don't cry for now. I'm going to the city with the eldest and second sons. My son-in-law doesn't have many relatives in the county town. I'm afraid no one will be willing to help with things during the New Year."

"Oh, okay, okay, you guys go quickly! They are the only two young people in the family, and they are probably panicking. If you go, they will have a backbone." Aunt Sun didn't care about being sad, and hurriedly asked her two sons to borrow a ox cart from Shuisheng.

She sent the three of them out of the door with numerous instructions and watched them walk a long way away before she returned to the yard with a sigh.

In the yard, Little Stone saw his mother and grandma wiping their tears, so he asked curiously: "Grandma, mother, what's wrong with you?"

Yangyang also looked at them with his head tilted. The two kids really didn't understand what was going on. They didn't know why they were crying, nor did they know why Uncle Sun and his two grandparents were in such a hurry to go out.

Chen Xiaobao, who was a little older, was a little confused and probably knew that something bad had happened, but Mudun knew it, and he had just heard what the person who came to announce the death said.
