Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

And the child who received the red envelope?

Of course I am happy!

Normally it is difficult to get a copper coin, but by paying New Year's greetings and saying a few auspicious words, you can get two copper coins. Who would not be happy?

Moreover, there are more than one family to greet today!

This is just the beginning!

The more New Year’s greetings you make, the more red envelopes you will get!

It makes me excited just thinking about it!

Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao were also in the children's group.

"Grandma Niu, Yaoyao and I wish you a happy new year! May you be blessed as vast as the East Sea! May you always smile!"

"Happy New Year! Be happy!"

Listening to the two little cuties wishing a happy new year, Grandma Niu was so happy that her teeth were showing.

"Okay, okay, okay! Xiao Meng, good, Yaoyao, and the babies are all good children! Happy New Year to you too!"

Niu Nainai handed the two red envelopes to Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao respectively.

"Thank you, Granny!"

Ye Yaoyao took the red envelope with a big smile, and held it in her hand like a treasure. Her little face was smiling as if she had picked up a great treasure.

Meng Huaishao presented the New Year gifts, stayed for a while, and then went to another house.

After visiting each house one by one, in just half a day, Ye Yaoyao had already received more than a dozen red envelopes.

The reason why there are so many is not because they visit many places, but because when they meet people on the road, Ye Yaoyao will also say to them with a smile: "Happy New Year!"

There is no one who doesn’t like a well-behaved and pretty baby, and there is no one who doesn’t want to receive blessings in the New Year.

Therefore, most elders who have a red seal on them will give one to Ye Yaoyao.

Most of them would also give one to Meng Huaishao.

I got some money last year, so I have a lot of money now!

A red seal worth one or two copper coins is just a sprinkle of water~

Although we should save when we should save and spend when we should spend [Note 1], the New Year’s money we receive should be spent!

New Year’s money, money to ward off evil spirits.

That is one of the very important customs.

In addition to celebrating, it also brings blessings to the younger generations.

Give lucky money to ward off evil spirits and protect your safety!

For my family, most of the red envelopes are given to children on New Year's Eve, but for other families, the red envelopes given as New Year's greetings before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month can all be regarded as lucky money.

“So many red envelopes!”

After returning home, Ye Yaoyao counted her red envelopes happily.

She doesn't care how many copper coins are in it, but she cares about the amount in the red envelope.

This is the first time she has received so many red envelopes!

Meng Huaishao couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw how happy she was.

He actually forgot to prepare the New Year's money!

Although, realistically speaking, he is still just a child and it is not his turn to receive New Year's money.

But, in this family, he is the head of the family!

Meng Huaishao wanted to make amends, but all the copper coins were in the farm space...

After thinking for a moment, Meng Huaishao came up with an idea.

"Yaoyao!"

He moved closer to Ye Yaoyao, took out all the red envelopes in his arms, and put them into Ye Yaoyao's pile of red envelopes.

"elder brother?"

Ye Yaoyao looked at Meng Huaishao's actions in confusion, not quite understanding what he was doing.

"Give you all!"

Meng Huaishao moved the red seal closer to Ye Yaoyao.

"Happy New Year! Yaoyao!"

"Happy New Year, brother!"

Ye Yaoyao replied subconsciously without even thinking.

Then, she realized that Meng Huaishao was giving all his red envelopes to her?

She quickly grabbed a handful and said, "Brother, this is yours!"

"Yeah." Meng Huaishao nodded, then said with a smile, "Give Yaoyao everything that belongs to my brother!"

Hearing this, Ye Yaoyao's eyes brightened.

"Really?"

If that's the case, then she would love it very much!

"real!"

Meng Huaishao rubbed her little head and sat down next to the baby.

"Do you want to open the red envelope?"

"dismantle!"

Now that we are back home, why don’t we open the red envelopes?

Although the copper plate inside the red envelope can be felt by touching it, it is packaged after all. Ye Yaoyao feels the excitement of opening a blind box.

There were some with one copper coin and some with two copper coins in the red envelope. Neither was much, but every time Ye Yaoyao opened one, she felt happier.

After I finished dismantling the box, I actually got almost fifty copper coins, which was enough to buy several kilograms of rice. It was really a pleasant surprise!

No wonder everyone loves Chinese New Year!

Ye Yaoyao put all the copper coins into her pocket. Looking at the increasingly fatter pocket, she felt like she would be happy for many days.

The red paper used to wrap the copper coins was not wasted; it was all spread out and folded up.

This red paper has many uses. Whether it is for sticking on fruit trees or dyeing eggs red, it is very practical!

Ye Yaoyao had heard at some point that if you stick red paper on the fruit trees in spring, they will produce more abundant and sweeter fruits!

Although the fruits grown on the fruit trees on the farm’s hilltops are already very sweet, who knows if they can be even sweeter?

Ye Yaoyao was ready to turn around and stick them on all the fruit trees!

Every day of the New Year is lively and bustling.

After the New Year’s greetings, it’s time to take turns treating guests.

As a member of the Heroic Village, everyone had a New Year's dinner and did not forget Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao's family.

So, except for the first day of the first lunar month, there is not a single free day from the second to the fifteenth day!

Go to the villagers' homes for banquets every day.

We eat at this restaurant today and that restaurant tomorrow. We are so diligent!

Because the New Year only lasts for a dozen days, it is too late for all the villagers to come, so the closer relatives will hold a banquet together, which is really lively.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they were requisitioned by the village chief.

In his words, everyone has already celebrated the Spring Festival on their own, so of course the Lantern Festival should be celebrated by the whole village!

This is the first New Year for their "Yongyong Village", and they must have a Yuanxiao meal!

In addition to the Lantern Festival, the villagers also followed the town's example and hung up colorful lanterns and red silk.

Originally, I wanted to hang up riddles, but there were not many literate people in the village, so hanging riddles was boring, so I simply changed to making wishes with red silk.

Every villager can get a piece of red cloth, hang it on the tree and make a wish.

As for wishes, you can write them yourself or ask someone to write them for you.

Several young people, led by Niu Hongcai, the grandson of the village chief, moved tables and chairs and wrote silk for the villagers under the big banyan tree.

Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao also received one each.

"Yaoyao, what wish do you want to make? Brother will write it for you!"

Ye Yaoyao tilted her head and thought for a while, then said in a baby voice, "I hope my brother will always be happy!"

"How can you make a wish for your brother?"

Although Meng Huaishao said this, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Make yourself a wish?"

Ye Yaoyao scratched her hands, thought for a while, and then said: "But, Yaoyao just hopes that brother will always be happy!"

Meng Huaishao failed to convince Ye Yaoyao in the end, so he could only borrow pen and ink to write down Ye Yaoyao's wish.

After writing it, he showed it to Ye Yaoyao.

Ye Yaoyao stood on tiptoe and read it twice, and was very satisfied.

Then, she leaned on the table and reached into the inkstone with one hand.

Before anyone could exclaim, Ye Yaoyao's dark palm slapped the red silk.

A small, black handprint was frozen on the red silk.
