When Su Yan saw Grandma He's familiar operation, she knew that this might be a fixed procedure every year.

Object

Naturally, they are the unmarried children in the tribe.

Su Yan, like everyone else, smiled like an auntie, and looked tenderly at the little girls who were beaming with joy after receiving the red envelopes.

A few years later, her Dudu will also be one of them.

Grandma He happily distributed the red envelopes and touched the last little girl's head.

He gave her a gentle push and asked her to get back into the team.

He looked up and saw the little Dudu in Su Yan's arms again, and laughed, "There's another one here!"

She walked forward personally with the red envelope in her hand, touched the chubby little cheek with her finger, and received a sweet baby smile.

He immediately became even happier and asked Su Yan, "Was this child born on the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Su Yan nodded, "Yes, Second Grandma."

Grandma He exclaimed in surprise, "This is a good day. We are blessed."

"This little chubby face is not afraid of people at all. He is really brave."

As if she felt she was being praised, Dudu excitedly stuck her butt out in Su Yan's arms.

The sound of "liangliang" kept coming out of his mouth, and saliva flowed down from the corners of his mouth.

Grandma He was surprised and asked, "This child is so smart, he can speak so early?"

Su Yan: "Dudu started to speak early, but he still doesn't speak fluently."

Grandma He Er: "A child of this age who can speak is precocious. It is normal for him to be unable to speak fluently. He will gradually be able to speak clearly."

She sighed again, "This year is the first year this child has been in this world, this red envelope is not acceptable."

She thought for a moment, then took out a lifelike golden melon seed from her purse and handed it to Dudu's little hand.

It was immediately gripped.

Grandma He smiled and said, "Dudu likes this. Can Grandma Zeng give it to you as a New Year's gift?"

Su Yan quickly refused: "Second Madam, this is too expensive. She is a small family and cannot use this."

Second Grandma He tied the purse back to her waist and waved her hand, telling Su Yan not to take it too seriously. "It's New Year's Day, we just want good luck. Don't say anything bad that will ruin the child's fortune."

"This is the first year for this child, so naturally the New Year's money will be different from others."

"Next year, if you want me to give it to you, I won't be able to do so yet!" Second Grandma He said jokingly.

Seeing that she really wanted to give it, Su Yan couldn't refuse it and had to accept it.

When leaving, Su Yan asked He Dasao in a low voice, "This is my first time here, and I don't know the rules. Should I accept this today?"

"Second Madam's gift is too expensive."

Mrs. He looked at the golden melon seeds in Su Yan's hand with some envy, they looked so vivid and lifelike.

This kind of craftsmanship cannot be found in the county, it must have been made in the city.

But she was just a little envious, and was still very happy for Dudu, "This is the custom of the tribe. A newborn baby must be given a big red envelope when paying New Year's greetings. You can take it with confidence."

But it’s usually not that big.

After listening to this, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, followed He Dasao's footsteps, and continued to walk to the next house.

As He's mother, who was in front of her, walked out the door, she turned around and glanced at Su Yan, who was talking and smiling.

His eyes were full of disgust.

Noticing Su Yan turning back, she turned around first and continued to follow the main group.

Su Yan turned around, but didn't see the thing that made her back feel cold. She looked around in confusion.

But soon, they arrived at the next house and she no longer had the energy to think about it.

Throughout the morning, everyone came to visit all the elders one after another.

Just as Mrs. He said, the He family attaches great importance to the first New Year of a newborn baby.

Almost every elder who met Dudu gave her a big red envelope.

Although it is not as valuable as what Second Grandma He gave, it is still not small.

After carrying Dudu back home at noon, Su Yan couldn't help but count them and turned back to tease He An, "The New Year's money Dudu earned in one day will soon be equal to what you earn in two months."

"If it goes on like this every day, we can rely on Dudu for our meals!"

He An was helpless, "It's just this time, next year Dudu will be the same as everyone else."

"The New Year's money in the clan is just a few coins. If we want to make a living from it, we have to go and ask for..."

Thinking that today was the first day of the new year, He An quickly swallowed the rest of his words. It was too unlucky.

However, Su Yan already knew what he meant, so she could only pretend to sigh and poke Dudu's little face, "Dudu, you missed a great opportunity to support your parents!"

Dudu blew out a saliva bubble excitedly.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, because the current situation was not so safe, Su's father and mother had already sent a message asking him not to come back.

Su Yan and He An were playing with Dudu together in the old house.

Perhaps it was because the happy time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival was over.

Just when everyone was still immersed in the joyous atmosphere of the New Year and had no energy to do anything.

On the westernmost side of the county town, which no one could see, groups of refugees suddenly poured in from afar.

The first thing to be harmed is the food that everyone has grown.

At this time, the crops had only grown green shoots.

But in the eyes of those disaster victims who were desperate, these were life-saving things.

They rushed up madly, grabbed a handful, and stuffed them into their stomachs without caring about anything, even the snow and water on top.

Old man Xu, who valued food more than his life, felt heartbroken when he saw this scene.

How could he watch his own crops being destroyed like this?

Most importantly, his family was also hit by a disaster last year.

Now we are just struggling to hold on and waiting for the crops to be harvested to relieve the pressure.

Now that his life-saving food had been eaten up, Old Man Xu picked up his hoe and went to chase them away.

But the area is so large and there are so many victims, how is it possible to finish them all?

People rush here and go over there to eat.

When Old Man Xu ran over there, this place had already been occupied by someone else.

I ran back and forth several times, but in the end I didn't drive away anyone.

Old Man Xu looked at the bare fields and sat on the ground crying in despair, "Oh my God! This is our family's life-saving food! If you eat it, how can we survive?"

Some of the victims who felt sorry for the disaster paused for a moment, but recalled the despair of almost dying along the way, and the relatives and friends who collapsed along the way.

In the end, he just turned around and stopped looking at the crying old man Xu.

His hands kept pulling the young seedlings and stuffing them into his mouth.

This kind of thing doesn't just happen here.

In fact, large numbers of disaster victims, like locusts, were advancing step by step from the western edge of the county town towards the county town.

Wherever it passes, not a blade of grass grows.

Some villages formed self-defense forces to fight back, but compared with the large number of disaster victims, it was just a drop in the bucket.

In the end, they were surrounded by disaster victims and even the food in their home was dug out and eaten.

In the end, the helpless villagers could only join the group of disaster victims and eat the young crops with them.

What else can be done?

The victims stole the food and ate all the young crops.

If they don't follow, they will be left behind and will starve to death.

Old man Xu mechanically plucked the green seedlings and stuffed them into his mouth, not forgetting to pick a handful to feed his little grandson beside him.

They have been hungry for three days. If they don't eat, they will die tonight.

In just three days, he had gone from victim to perpetrator.
