Walking in front was Aunt Zhao holding An An's hand, Qin Ying walked in the middle with the Zhou sisters, and Zhao Hu followed a few steps behind.

Zhou Yu's eyes were sore. How long had it been since he saw his two sisters appear in the sun?

Although they still looked a little timid at the moment, the fact that they were able to come out without fear of other people's gazes had already far exceeded his expectations!

His gaze moved from his two sisters to Qin Ying's head. During the Chinese New Year, in addition to the simple wooden hairpin that she usually used to tie her hair, Qin Ying also had a small flower made of red velvet thread on her head, which reflected her smiling face and made her look particularly beautiful.

Well, compared to when we first met, Qin Ying now looks more like a normal girl.

She has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and although she doesn't wear any makeup, she is still very charming.

Suddenly feeling his heart beating violently, Zhou Yu quickly looked away and looked at An An who was skipping towards him.

The little girl was wearing a red dress and a rabbit fur hat with small red flowers embroidered on it.

With a round face, round eyes and a red mouth, it is as festive and cute as a doll in a New Year picture.

An An let go of Aunt Zhao's hand, trotted over to Zhou Yu, and bowed deeply to him: "Uncle Zhou, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best in the new year!"

"Okay, thank you, and Happy New Year to you too!" Zhou Yu reached out and took her hand, saying to Aunt Zhao and the others, "It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Zhang Jinzhi hurriedly pulled Uncle Chen Jiu away.

Zhou Yu personally lifted the curtain and invited everyone in.

How dare they!

Seeing this, Xu Xia hurried over to replace him and let him go in first.

Then everyone filed in.

There is a mat on the floor of the main hall for people who come to pay New Year's greetings to kowtow to.

But Zhou Yu saw Aunt Zhao and her family just making a move, so he said, "No need to do that. The ground is cold. Just bow instead."

Aunt Zhao led the family in bowing deeply and said, "Happy New Year, Mr. Zhou! May all the best be to you!"

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you very much, and I wish you all a happy new year and all the best!"

Then he waved to Zhao Hu and An An: "You are still children, come here and get the red envelopes."

Zhao Hu waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, Master Zhou, I am already an adult and cannot accept red envelopes!"

"A man is considered an adult when he reaches the age of twenty," Zhou Yu said with a smile. "You're only fifteen, so how come you're not a child anymore? Come on, come on!"

Xu Xia pushed him and said with a smile, "Go! You have a red envelope, why are you taking so long?"

Zhao Hu had no choice but to step forward.

Zhou Yu gave each of them a red envelope.

Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian also stepped forward to pay their respects to their elder brother. Although their voices were low, they still said a few auspicious words.

"Okay, okay," Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly, his eyes slightly moist. He ordered Xu Xia to bring a tray, "Here are grandfather, your cousin, and the New Year gifts I prepared for you."

The two sisters hurriedly thanked her, took the things and stood behind Qin Ying.

Aunt Zhao asked again, "Where's Uncle Jiu? Why isn't he home waiting for us to come and wish him a happy new year?"

Uncle Chen Jiu, who was hiding in the inner room, asked quietly, "Mr. Zhang, can I go out now?"

Zhang Jinzhi smiled helplessly and lifted the curtain: "Please come in."

Uncle Chen Jiu happily went out and sat down below Zhou Yu: "I'm coming."

Aunt Zhao then pulled Qin Ying, Zhao Hu and An An to kneel down and kowtow to him.

Uncle Chen Jiu quickly waved his hands: "No need for that! Lord Zhou doesn't allow us to kneel, so I have to stop here too! Hurry up!

"I don't have anything good to give you here, just grab the roasted nuts over there!"

Aunt Zhao laughed and said, "How could that be possible? We have them all in our pockets! Uncle Jiu, please stay with Master Zhou while we go look around some other houses."

Zhou Yu said, "It's cold outside. An'an, Qi'er, and Mian'mian, please stay in the inner room and wait for a while. Aunt Zhao will come to pick you up later."

This was originally what Aunt Zhao had agreed with them, but when the time came, Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian felt a little uneasy.

Qin Ying gently pushed An An and whispered, "Take good care of the two aunts!"

An An agreed, then took one of them by the hand and walked into the room where Zhou Yu used to live in a familiar manner.

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying said something to Zhou Yu and Uncle Chen Jiu before taking Zhao Hu out.

We met two groups of people coming to pay New Year's greetings in the yard. They said a few auspicious words to each other before parting.

The three of them went to Grandma Wang's house first. Wang Tiezhu and Wang Ergou also went out to pay New Year's greetings, so Grandma Wang was the only one at home.

After sitting for a while, the three of them said goodbye and started to act separately.

Aunt Zhao took Qin Ying to the homes of several familiar people where only women were left, while Zhao Hu went door to door to wish everyone a happy new year.

After visiting the last house, Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying went to Uncle Chen Jiu's house to pick up An An and the Zhou sisters. There were many people going to pay New Year's greetings, and they were worried that the two sisters would feel uncomfortable if it took too long.

When they returned to the Zhao family, the two Zhou sisters were obviously relieved. Qin Ying quickly asked, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Zhou Qi shook her head and smiled, "An An and I have been sitting in the inner room."

But I could also hear voices outside. I was a little uneasy at first, but slowly, it quieted down.

Because everyone outside came to wish the eldest brother a happy new year, and all they said were words of gratitude to the eldest brother and beautiful visions of the future.

Only then did they realize more clearly that their eldest brother, who was once known as a "dandy", had now become a senior official who brought benefits to the people!

A sense of pride arose spontaneously, but after all, they had not been together for many years, and if they were asked to talk to their eldest brother intimately, they still couldn't do it.

On the contrary, I felt more relaxed when I returned to the Zhao family.

An An couldn't wait to open the red envelope, and then told her family excitedly: "Uncle Zhou gave me a leaf! It's yellow!"

Then he took out a glittering gold leaf from the red envelope.

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying were both startled. Aunt Zhao quickly said, "Is this gold? Oh my God! This is the first time I've seen gold in my life!"

Anything that Lord Zhou can take out must be a good thing, so she has to guess that it is expensive!

"But this won't do! We have to go back, don't you think, Yingzi?"

Qin Ying also felt that the gold was too hot to handle.

It was Zhou Qi who said, "Keep it. This is a kind gesture from my eldest brother. We sisters have also prepared the same red envelope for An An."

Then he took out a pair of red envelopes from his sleeve and handed them to An An, "I didn't feel comfortable taking them out before."

Because the New Year red envelopes that Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying gave to An An were both a copper coin strung together with a red thread.

"Yes," Zhou Mian also chimed in, "This is a token of our love. We don't know what to give, so we can only give what we think is the best..."

"During the past few days since we came here, haven't you been treating us with the best things?"
