Chapter 76 Happy New Year
It is said that one should stay up all night on New Year's Eve. Xie Lin and Xie Heng were the most noisy at first, but after a while, they became quiet. The excitement gradually faded away, and sleepiness came like a tide. Their eyelids became heavier and heavier, and they fell asleep because they could not bear the sleepiness anymore.
Xie Lin curled up in the chair, his little face flushed, his breathing even and steady, while Xie Heng lay on the table, holding tightly in his hand a piece of unfinished cake.
Xie Songlin looked at his two eldest sons helplessly, then carried them back to their rooms and let them continue sleeping.
Xie Lan was able to endure. He read a book while rubbing his temples with the cooling ointment given by Xie Wanxing from time to time. He managed to hold on until the second half of the night. However, he found that his sister was really able to endure. Her eyes were bright and there was no trace of fatigue on her face. She was still full of energy in the second half of the night.
What he didn't know was that Xie Wanxing went into the space every hour to take a sip of coffee brewed with spiritual spring water, so he definitely didn't feel tired or sleepy.
Cheng Hui did not participate in activities like staying up all night to celebrate the New Year. She went to bed early. Perhaps she was a little tired from being busy in the kitchen during the day, or perhaps she felt that staying up all night to celebrate the New Year was an activity for young people, and she would rather greet the new year in a quiet sleep.
The next day, Cheng Hui was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. Her mood was also infected by the lively atmosphere and became particularly happy. She quickly washed up, changed into festive new clothes, and prepared to give the children New Year's money. There was a tael of silver in a small red cloth bag.
The children had already gathered in the restaurant in the front yard. When Xie Wanxing saw Cheng Hui coming, she was the first to come over, her sparkling eyes full of smiles: "Mother, Happy New Year! Wish you good fortune! Give me the red envelope!"
Cheng Hui looked at her playful little daughter in front of her, her heart filled with joy. She gently scratched Xie Wanxing's nose and said with a smile: "You little devil, you only know how to ask for red envelopes."
As she spoke, she took out a small red cloth bag from her pocket and handed it to Xie Wanxing: "Here."
Seeing that their sister had received a red envelope, Xie Lin and the others also came over with a smile. They imitated Xie Wanxing's way and bowed to Cheng Hui. Then, they bowed and shook their hands, saying in unison: "Happy New Year, mother!"
Xie Lan fell last. He was now much calmer than before. He slowly walked up to Cheng Hui, bowed slightly, and said solemnly, "Happy New Year, Mother!"
Cheng Hui looked at the group of lovely children in front of her with a gentle smile on her face. She reached into her arms and took out the prepared red envelopes and handed them to the children one by one.
"Lin'er and Heng'er, you must be more sensible in the new year." Cheng Hui handed the red envelope to Xie Lin.
Xie Lin and Xie Heng happily took it: "Thank you, mother!"
When Cheng Hui handed the red envelope to Xie Lan, her eyes showed a little more relief and expectation: "Lan'er, you are becoming more and more calm now. I am very pleased. In the new year, keep working hard."
Xie Lan solemnly accepted the red envelope and nodded slightly: "I will definitely live up to my mother's expectations."
Cheng Hui turned around and looked at Xie Yao, who was held in Li's arms, and stuffed the small cloth bag into his little hands: "Our Ah Yao can't be left behind."
Xie Yao can now say a few words. Holding the little red cloth bag, he happily called "Mom" a few times. His eyes were shining and his little face was rosy. He was so cute that Cheng Hui couldn't help but kiss him on his sweet and soft face.
Cheng Hui also gave red envelopes to Qiuyue and Qiuye. The two sisters were flattered and their eyes widened. They didn't know whether to accept it or not, so they could only stare at Li in a daze.
Li looked at the two sisters and felt touched. She nodded slightly and said gently, "Madam, you are so generous. Please take it."
The two sisters then carefully accepted the red envelope, tears of gratitude gleaming in their eyes. Qiuyue clutched the red envelope tightly, her voice choking with sobs: "Thank you, Madam. Your kindness is so great that we two sisters cannot repay you enough."
Qiu Ye also nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, ma'am."
Cheng Hui looked at them with a smile: "You have worked hard every day. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope everyone will be well in the new year."
Xie Songlin also came in from outside, holding a chicken cage with two fat hens in it. The two hens had bright feathers and plump bodies, and they made soft "cluck" sounds from time to time in the cage.
"Is everything packed? We're going to pay New Year's greetings to grandma."
When the children heard this, they immediately became excited. Xie Lin and Xie Heng jumped up and down and started to tidy up their clothes, muttering that they wanted to say auspicious words to Old Mrs. Shen. Cheng Hui helped Qiuyue and Qiuye put the things they were going to take into order.
After everyone packed up, they took a bunch of things and went to Old Lady Shen's house. The neighbors who passed by greeted Xie Songlin warmly.
This year, due to the disaster in the north, everyone's life was not easy, but the people in Xiejia Village had yam to support them, and the granary behind the county government office was opened to sell some low-priced rice.
Although life is still tight, we can finally hold on.
Old Mrs. Shen had been waiting at the door since early morning. She was happy when she saw Xie Songlin and his family from afar. Although they had separated, she still loved her youngest son Xie Songlin the most in her heart.
As soon as Xie Lin and Xie Heng saw Old Lady Shen, they ran up to her happily and surrounded her: "Grandma, Happy New Year!"
"My dear grandson." Old Mrs. Shen touched their heads, her eyes full of love.
"Mom, this is your New Year's gift." Xie Songlin picked up the chicken coop. "I also bought you some cloth so you can make some new clothes."
"Okay." Old Mrs. Shen was not a person who would spoil the fun. She gladly accepted the things given by Xie Songlin.
Xie Songbai and others also heard the noise and came out to see what was going on.
"Songlin is coming!"
"Okay, come in quickly, it's time to eat after sitting for a while." Xie Songbai greeted them warmly, and everyone walked into the house. Xie Yong and the others were very happy to see Xie Lin coming. They chattered and shared their own interesting New Year stories.
As usual, Cheng Hui gave each child a small red envelope, and the room was immediately filled with laughter.
Xie Lian dragged Xie Shu back to the room and eagerly opened the cloth bag to look at it. Liu Shi also gathered beside them, her eyes full of anticipation. "How much did your fourth aunt give?"
"One tael of silver? So much?" Xie Lian was also a little stunned.
Xie Shu also opened her red envelope and was equally shocked. One or two taels of silver was undoubtedly a considerable fortune for them, enough to make several beautiful clothes for themselves.
Although Liu was jealous, she did not dare to snatch the red envelopes from the two of them. After all, she was able to stay here thanks to Xie Lian.
