On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household woke up early. Children donned new clothes and shoes, and those who could afford them even had small firecrackers in their pockets. After dinner, groups of three or two began to visit each household, wishing them a happy new year. Mo'er had already prepared a large bag of candy, peanuts, melon seeds, and various fruits. The table was completely filled.

After dinner, the three siblings changed into new clothes and shoes, with Mo'er leading the group as they headed to the cowshed to pay New Year's greetings. After a lively time in the cowshed, they left and went to the team leader's home to pay their New Year's greetings. The team leader's wife insisted on giving each of them a dollar as a lucky gift! The team leader thanked Mo'er again for teaching the villagers how to make vermicelli noodles. This gave the villagers a way to make a living, freeing them from a life of toiling in the fields! While they weren't starving, they were struggling, and during lean years, they had to scrimp and eat only wild vegetables. While they weren't starving, they weren't much better off either! With Qipan Mountain nestled against the mountain's surface, there were plenty of wild vegetables, rabbits, and pheasants. However, the presence of wolves and bears posed a significant risk. After chatting with the team leader for over an hour, the three sisters finally emerged and went to the old house. Upon entering, they were greeted by Mrs. Li and her family, who were already eating. Mo'er remained silent, but Li Jun and Xiaohu, however, wished their grandparents a happy New Year. Mo'er wished her uncle and aunt a happy New Year.

Old Mrs. Li had a face full of embarrassment and guilt. She came to Mo'er and said to him: Mo'er, I was confused and crazy before. I listened to some people's collusion and wanted to sell you so that the family could live a better life. I was wrong. I was really wrong! I don't ask you to forgive me, I just hope that we can still be a family, not enemies. You definitely don't want to come back. I have made up my mind. You should live with your eldest sister-in-law. She has no children. You three should take care of her in her old age. Your grandfather and I hope that you can come to see us when you have time. We don't ask for anything else. After all, we were wrong! We hurt your heart! She wiped her tears while speaking! Old man Li's eyes were also red.

Moer nodded and said, "Well, if that's what you said, then I won't hold a grudge against you. We'll still be a family in the future. But we won't come back. I bought a house in Beijing, so maybe we'll leave one day."

The whole family was stunned and in disbelief. Old Mrs. Li burst into tears when she heard this. "I was the one who forced you to leave! It's all my fault! Will we ever see each other again after you leave? You must come back often to visit me. Don't let me die without seeing you, okay?"

Moer nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will come back often. If we have the chance, we will pick you up and take you to Beijing to stay with Grandma for a while! I'm afraid she will be too lonely!"

Old Lady Li took out three red envelopes, each containing ten yuan. These were huge red envelopes, probably the largest in the village. She insisted that Mo'er and his two siblings accept them! They had no choice but to accept them. Mo'er knew this old lady was stubborn. She had sent her miles away and came back wanting to curse. She was so stubborn, so she had to accept them! She thought she would make it up to them later!

After that, I went to a few families who had been kind to Moer in the past to wish him a happy new year. It was almost 11 o'clock before I returned home. When I got home, I saw that the house was surrounded by people, all of them were half-grown children.

It turned out that the grandchildren of the team leader came to pay New Year's greetings to Grandma Moer under the instructions of the team leader. When they entered the house, they were amazed. There was a table full of delicious food, all kinds of delicious candies, melon seeds and peanuts, as well as oranges, bananas, apples, and many fruits that they had never seen before. I asked the grandmother and then I found out what kind of fruit it was. They ate it without saying a word. It was so delicious and sweet. It's over. I want to become her godmother. I don't want to leave. They went out after eating. When they went out, each of them was holding a red envelope with one dollar in it. I have never received a red envelope with one dollar in my life! Why are my hands shaking so badly? I am so excited!

After the two of them spread the word, other children in the village followed suit and came to pay New Year's greetings to Grandma. When they arrived, they knelt down in a large group and shouted "Happy New Year, Grandma" in unison! Grandma was so happy that she kept stuffing the melon seeds, peanuts, candies and fruits into their pockets. She knew Mo'er had plenty of these things, so there was no need to save them for her. Mo'er made them just for Grandma to share with the children in the village! Before leaving, each of them received a red envelope of one yuan. The children were so happy that they lost their minds. They thought this was the New Year!

The result was that children came in waves, kowtowed and wished a happy new year. In the end, young men and women of seventeen and eighteen also came to kowtow and wish a happy new year.

There has never been such a grand event in the village. Grandma can be said to have set a precedent!

When Mo'er and the others returned, they saw this: their house was surrounded. They went inside and saw there wasn't much candy left, so they went back to their room and pulled out a whole bunch more. "Build as much as you can! We're not afraid of the whole village coming!"

After the group of seventeen or eighteen-year-olds left, a group of twenty-year-olds came, some of them were still holding babies. The children looked as thin as monkeys. Mo'er went back to the house, got dozens of cans of milk powder and opened the wrapping paper. He gave two cans to each baby, and everyone who came got a share.

Then came another group of people in their thirties, some holding their second or third children. Moer accepted everyone, giving them melon seeds and fruit while the babies were given milk powder! Even the babies were not left out, and each received a red envelope of one yuan.
