An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

The old lady's face was filled with smiles, and she quickly pulled her up with a strong hand: "Sister Xi is finally here, grandma has been waiting for a long time."

He carefully examined the little girl standing in front of him and could not help but praise her: "This color is better than your mother's."

Jing Chunxi was praised so much that he couldn't see the bottom. His mother's beauty was ranked among the top three in the capital, but she was blind and entangled with his scumbag father. Otherwise, she should have married a prince. This made his grandmother and her best friend, the empress dowager, upset for a long time.

Three red envelopes were stuffed into her hands. The old lady said kindly, "Grandmother also wishes Sister Xi a peaceful, happy, and smooth life!"

"Grandma, why did you give so much?" Jing Chunxi touched the three red envelopes with a few fingers. They were all thin layers. There was no doubt that there were silver bills inside, but three were too many. Was he kidding?

The old lady held down her hands as she tried to return them: "One is Pu Ge'er's, and the other is your mother's. You must bring them to me."

After saying this, her eyes turned red again as she thought of her daughter and grandson who were far away in the capital.

Grandfather also handed over three identical red envelopes: "You two children must be good and listen to your mother. Let Pu Ge'er study hard. He will be the one to support you in the future."

Jing Chunxi was very well-behaved: "I understand. Thank you, grandpa and grandma." He also gently put his arm around his grandmother's shoulders to comfort her.

After the greetings, he sat obediently between his grandparents.

"Pu Ge'er is disobedient, so I will teach him a lesson." Jing Chunxi said as he opened one of the red envelopes and pulled out a silver note.

He was shocked when he saw the denomination. It was a thousand taels worth of silver. Was she going to take six thousand taels back to Beijing all at once? How could that be possible?

When she came back from the county town that day, she handed the small box containing the banknotes to her grandparents. There were quite a few banknotes in it, but her grandparents only took half of it, saying that it would be safer to keep it with the fairy aunt, so they should keep half just in case.

But giving them six thousand taels of New Year's money all at once is too much. Even when the family was prosperous in the past, he and his brother only received five hundred taels of silver notes as New Year's money when they returned to the General's Mansion during the Spring Festival. Why are they being so extravagant now that they are in trouble?

"Just take it if I give it to you. I don't know how many years it will take before I can give you New Year's money again." When saying this, the old lady was a little depressed and her eyes were red again.

Jing Chunxi leaned over to her grandmother and said, "But Grandfather, Grandmother needs the money more here. Sister Xi may not be able to use it if she takes it back. Grandmother doesn't want Mother to worry, right?"

Jing Yongcheng looked at his sensible granddaughter and stopped her from continuing. "You and your mother have achieved so much, and we have the help of our fairy aunt. If we can't even survive and have to rely on our savings to make a living, even if we still have a chance in this life, grandpa will not have the face to bring this family back to the capital."

Seeing that the two elders were in a bad mood, Jing Chunxi said with a smile: "Then Sister Xi will not be polite. I would also like to thank grandparents on behalf of my mother and brother.

But don't worry, grandpa and grandma. I think my third uncle and several cousins ​​are capable, and my aunts are also capable. They will definitely be able to thrive here."

After that, he listed the abilities of his third uncle, second cousin and fourth cousin. Even his third cousin praised them, and finally made the two old men laugh.

The old lady smiled and gently put her arm around her shoulders: "You are the only one who can speak. If you knew you were so good at talking, you should have brought me home to raise you."

Jing Chunxi laughed even more happily: "Grandma, you must be regretting this!"

But Jing Chunxi still pretended to be a little worried, and pretended to be jealous, pouting and teasing the old lady: "Could it be that my cousins ​​also have so many red envelopes?"

The old lady feigned anger and scolded, "How is that possible? They were all sent away after the New Year. Go find food on your own."

Jing Chunxi smiled sweetly again: "I knew that my grandparents were the best to me."

The grandfather standing next to him was so amused that he couldn't stop smiling.

After Jing Chunxi left, Jing Yongcheng said to the old lady, "What are you worried about? Look at Sister Xi, she's so smart. She always thinks about us. Every word she says is meant to make us happy.

This child is just like me. I've seen that no one in the capital can bully her."

The old lady laughed and said, "Look at what you are capable of. Why don't you say that you are inferior to me?"

After a long silence, he continued, "Why do I feel that this Young Master Tao... I always feel that this kid treats Sister Xi differently."

Before he could finish his words, Jing Yongcheng interrupted him: "How old is our Sister Xi? Just wait and see."

How can I let someone else think about my girl who is like a budding flower so early?

……

after breakfast

Only Sanlang and Silang took their two little dumplings out to pay New Year's greetings, while Jing Yongjian, Jing Yongqiang, Jing Changming and Jing Changchang and several other families, as if they had made an appointment, came to pay New Year's greetings with all their families.

"It's good that you all came, so we don't have to make another trip." Jing Yongcheng said happily. Seeing so many of them bringing their families, he knew that it was not just a simple New Year's greeting.

After wishing each other a happy new year, the children received their red envelopes and played together, but the men in each family gathered in the main hall with Jing Yongcheng and Jing Changning, asking about the spring plowing.

Looking at this situation, you can tell that they are all unsure and want to rely on them for advice.

Jing Yongcheng did not take out the prepared charter, he just wanted to let out some words to whet their appetite. They would not do anything that was forced upon them, he had to see first if they had any ideas, and if they did, how sincere they were. Cooperation must be based on mutual benefit, and the responsibility could not be borne by them alone!

So let's just chat about our family's thoughts. Such a big thing definitely can't be explained in a short time. This is also what the three of them, grandfather and grandson, have agreed on: Don't rush anything! If there is any rush, it can only be others.

Seeing so many people gathered together, the old lady was afraid that the men would talk endlessly. The children would definitely not want to go home so soon if they had company, and she wanted them to stay together as long as possible during the New Year.

So he instructed Nanny Wang and his daughters-in-law, "We couldn't have enjoyed the pig slaughtering that day behind closed doors. Since we're all gathered together today, let's prepare a meal!"

Nanny Wang, with the idea of ​​not wasting food, said, "That's easy. We overcooked the food last night. Just add some side dishes and heat them up."

Zhuang also had an idea: "Steam an extra plate of sugar cakes, cook a big pot of meat porridge, fry a few plates of salted fish, and simmer the remaining meat dumplings on the stove. There will be enough food for no matter how many people there are."

During Chinese New Year, people say there will be surplus every year. Having more leftovers on New Year's Eve, and having leftovers on New Year's Day, is a sign of abundance. Therefore, every household cooks extra for New Year's Eve. Last night's New Year's Eve dinner had four tables and ten dishes, but each table only had five or six people, so more than half the food was left over.

Several families gathered together to celebrate the festival in a lively atmosphere. The children had fun, the adults chatted to their heart's content, and they finally felt a little relieved.

The children of the Jing Changming and Jing Changdu families are no longer timid. Since they each have the idea of ​​farming and want to be tied to Jing Yongcheng's family, the two brothers also encourage their children to go out and play more, but still let them remember their duties and not let them eat or take other people's things.

After dinner, the adults sat for a while and then went back. The children gathered together at the gate to set off firecrackers. Even though it was New Year's Day, Zhuang did not waste them. She only gave them five strings of firecrackers as long as her palm and let them take them apart and share them themselves. But it was enough to make them happy. Other children did not have such treatment.
