I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

“Is that right?”

Liu Yan felt deeply sorry for her subconscious behavior and returned the fragrant red envelope to her.

Song Anning was furious:

"Mom! That's not right, Mom!

Where are the New Year’s money I received over the past twenty years?

You promised to save it for me."

"..."

Liu Yan looked normal, but still felt a little guilty. God knows when Song An Ning was three years old, she spent two hundred yuan to buy a bag of shrimp crackers.

Two hundred yuan more than 20 years ago was very valuable and could buy hundreds of bags of shrimp crackers.

There was also a bouncy ball that cost her three hundred yuan when she was four years old, and a doll when she was five years old, both of which were bought at high prices with her New Year's money.

Later, when Song An Ning grew up a little and was harder to deceive, Liu Yan said directly: Mom is saving this for you to buy books for school!

Oh, when I think of the New Year’s money, I am filled with tears.

Song An Ning was still sighing here, and her mother smiled politely at her on the other end, then turned around and started putting on her cotton jacket. They were going out to set off fireworks.

"Aning! Help your parents over there with their work! It's New Year's Eve, and everyone at home is busy. Don't be lazy.

I won’t say anything more, we’ll take Xiangxiang to set off fireworks, the video is on, you can also take a look.”

Song An Ning was still feeling sorry for the lost New Year's money. The three of them had already gone out and were on the path where the fireworks were set off.

Farewell, fireworks every year.

Fireworks and stars shine brightly, praying for peace every year.

While helping with housework, Song An Ning would glance at the screen from time to time. It was great that her parents were happy, and that was enough.

Xiangxiang, thank you so much for staying with my parents for me...

On the first day of the new year, Liu Yan and Song Chengbo took Xiangxiang out to pay New Year's greetings. There were not many relatives visiting at that time, so they only had a meal outside and returned before noon.

It was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month here, and Song An Ning was cutting red paper with several sisters, preparing to write couplets and cut window decorations.

Seeing that there was no movement over there and no message was sent, Song An Ning opened the video and found that the faces of several people were not very good.

"What's going on, Mom? Can you hear me?"

When they came back, Dad was fine, but Mom looked the worst. They went to my aunt's house today and must have encountered something.

"Aning, Mom is fine.

Today I went to your aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings. Her daughter asked me to borrow money, and she asked for one million. I said I didn't have any, so she asked me to mortgage our house.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless! Why should we help them just because we have money?

What makes me most angry is that your aunt is using the relationship between sisters to morally blackmail me.

What's wrong with these relatives? It's just like that. It's better not to get along with them. It's more peaceful to live your own life."

Song Anning hurriedly persuaded her and cooperated with Xiangxiang. After talking for a long time, she finally made her mother happier.

Because Liu Yan was in a bad mood, Xiangxiang stayed there for another day.

Here, Banyue Village also welcomed the New Year.

This year is very special. Every household in Banyue Village has been brand new, with lights and decorations everywhere. Even the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village has been decorated.

The most lively place must be Song Anning's home. There are already quite a few family members, including Xiao Ming's family, Yu Xiaohai's three siblings, Zhou Nanxing, and Old Man Pan.

Only Sister Qiuyue and Asheng were taken by the Chen family to Linhai Town to celebrate the New Year.

The children wore new clothes and small fur hats and ran out to play early.

The whole family gathered together, chatting and laughing, cooking delicious food and making dumplings.

The happiest thing is to have a meal with my family.

Xiangxiang came back on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, and it was already the evening of the second day of the New Year at her parents' place.

Her return made the whole family even happier. This girl is so likable. Now that she is back, they can stay up together and celebrate the New Year together, making the family even more reunited.

On New Year's Eve, at the hour of Hai, the new year was about to arrive. The younger generations of the Song family, from oldest to youngest, knelt in front of Song Dashan and Zhang in turn.

"Dad, Mom, Happy New Year.

Son, your daughter-in-law wishes you a happy new year..."

"Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year.

Grandson, granddaughter wish you a happy new year..."

Song Dashan and Zhang prepared a thick stack of red envelopes and distributed them one by one. Seeing the children's happy faces after receiving the red envelopes, the two elders were extremely happy.

"It's getting better, everything is getting better!"

Next came Old Man Pan. Song Dashan and Zhang bowed to him and said with a smile:

"Brother Pan, Happy New Year...

We are old bones, and we all wish you good health in the new year..."

"Good! Happy New Year, we are all good!"

As the eldest son, Song Feng led his peers to kneel down and greet Old Man Pan, followed by Song Zeyu and the younger generation who kowtowed and greeted him.

The midnight hour was about to arrive, and Song Dashan brought his family to the yard to worship their ancestors and set off firecrackers and fireworks.

This New Year’s Eve dinner was particularly sumptuous and warm.

After dinner, everyone sat together to celebrate the New Year and played mahjong. Song Feng, Song Nian and a few others played leaf cards. Winning or losing didn't matter; the important thing was that the family had fun together.

They were noisy and playing like this until 2:15 am, when the children were so sleepy that they fell asleep.

That night, Song Anning, Xiangxiang, Xiao Yingchun, Song Juaner, and Zhou Nanxing all crowded on her kang, chatting idly.

The kang was quite large and could accommodate several people. They didn't know when they fell asleep, and when they woke up, they found the yard was full of people.

Children can get red envelopes, candies and dried fruits when they pay New Year’s greetings.

Adults will also give each other some things and pass them around, saying auspicious words and looking forward to the New Year together.

Song Anning was half asleep and had planned to ignore the noise outside and sleep a little longer, but no one gave her the chance.

"Sister, get up quickly!

Sister, get up and wish us a happy new year! "

"Sister Aning! Happy New Year! Give me some candy!"

Song An Ning and several people in the room stared at each other. Their hair was messy and they were wrapped in quilts. Seeing the heavy figures outside the window, they felt a little hopeless.

“How many people are here…”

"At least half of the village must be here..."

Helplessly, they could only get up, put on new clothes, and pack up simply before going out.

But when they opened the door, they realized that the situation outside was even more lively than they had expected.

"Sister Aning, you finally came out!"

"Happy New Year, Aning!"

"Hey, Happy New Year to you guys too..."

"Come on, let's go celebrate the New Year..."

So, Song Anning, who didn't know much about the local customs, was dragged away by everyone in a daze. Even Xiangxiang, Xiao Yingchun and Zhou Nanxing were not spared.

Fortunately, Song Juan'er was a generation older, so she prepared candies and snacks early, as well as small red envelopes wrapped in red paper.

Children here usually give a penny or a piece of candy as New Year's greetings.

Now life is getting better, every family has heavy red envelopes, and children carry small bags with many blessings and great harvests.

After a whole day, Song Anning was exhausted and just wanted to take a hot bath and have a good sleep.

On the second day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, Old Man Pan left Banyue Village to get together with his disciples.

That morning, Zhang called Wang Ying'er and Liu Yunqiao and said sternly:

"Ying'er, Yunqiao, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, it's time to go back to your parents' home.

You guys take the kids back to take a look, sit for a bit and then come back. You don't want to make a fool of yourself, right?"

When Zhang said this, Song Anning and Xiangxiang were hiding behind the water tank in the kitchen and secretly eating jelly. They just heard what grandma had just said and then got the same answer from Wang Ying'er and Liu Yunqiao.

"No! No!"

Zhang: ...
