Three years goes by quickly, and three years goes by slowly.

But those three years passed anyway.

The Chinese New Year in 1962 was different. People posted couplets with the word "Fu" (good luck) in their wedding couplets, prepared elaborate New Year's Eve dinners, received red envelopes, and visited relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year.

The sounds of laughter, playfulness, and firecrackers, along with the colorful lights and decorations, are filled with joy, sweeping away the dullness and anxiety of the old year.

It is an old custom and also a new beginning.

Although the domestic economy is still tight, at least the famine is over.

Wei Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

But she didn't dare show it too obviously. At her age, she was aware of the fact that people were not getting enough to eat, but she would not think about this when the New Year came.

Wei Ying curled her lips, picked up her little lantern, grabbed a handful of peanuts and went out to play with her friends.

Wei Sheng and Lu Chunyue, who were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, smiled at each other when they heard Wei Ying's footsteps as she went out and her laughter outside the window.

The whole family is around, and the years are peaceful. This is happiness.

"Hu Zi, here! These peanuts my mom just fried are so delicious~" Wei Ying ran towards her friends with a smile on her face, naturally fitting into the small group and sharing the snacks in her pocket.

The Wei family had peanuts, the Wu family had melon seeds, the Fang family had chestnuts, and the Wang family had maltose. The maltose was the most popular, and although each person only had one, everyone was very satisfied.

When it was time for dinner, someone shouted, "Go home for dinner," and everyone dispersed and went home.

New Year’s Eve dinner is the most delicious meal of the year, and no one wants to miss it even for a second.

Wei Ying is very satisfied with her current life.

Although Chengzhen APP is a golden finger, it actually has no impact on her life except for the newbie gift package that solves the problem.

Wei Ying was now treating it like a mini-game, systematically saving all her capital and growth coins. Once she had enough, she would exchange them for app assets to continue operating. She hadn't cashed out any of her assets, so she let them continue to increase their value within the app.

But it’s not that there are no real assets.

She has been craving sweets ever since she started teething. Wei Ying herself couldn't explain the reason, but she was also fond of sweets when she was young in her previous life, and her favorite staple food was white porridge with sugar.

Maybe Wei Sheng and Lu Chunyue didn't allow her to eat too much, fearing that she would get cavities. With this restriction, she kept thinking about growing up quickly so she could eat candy every day.

Therefore, on her second birthday in 1958, in addition to the usual birthday gift package of beauty pills, APP also gave her a real asset - a sugarcane plantation in Nanyang.

The Chengzhen app responsibly handles after-sales service, and the sugarcane plantation is managed by a loyal local indigenous person. Wei Ying doesn't have to worry about anything; even the sugarcane plantation dividends will be deposited with the Nanyang Bank by that person.

Wei Ying had no plans to use the money until she reached adulthood. Firstly, she was comfortable now and didn't really need it, and the presence of the money would affect her family and her life. Secondly, in a few years, the domestic situation would become complicated, and the money might become a weapon against her.

It’s good to just save it like this, Wei Ying thought happily. When she comes of age and the reform and opening up begins, she will have some initial capital to use or start a business.

But that was a plan for the future. At this moment, Wei Ying was happily counting her New Year's money. It wasn't much, just fifty cents, but she could manage the money herself!

In fact, fifty cents was not a small amount in that era. Wei Ying remembered that last month her mother was not at home for something, so her father took her out to eat, and a bowl of shredded pork noodles was only twenty cents.

Wei Ying collected her New Year's money. Now she faced only one problem - she didn't want to go to the orphanage anymore, she wanted to go to school early!

In fact, it is not considered early, but children at this time generally start school late, so it seems a little early relatively.

Although she fully enjoyed her childhood in her new life, it didn't mean that she liked to cry with those snotty-nosed real kids in Yuhong Institute.

But if she didn't cry, she would seem unsociable. She didn't want to stand out from the crowd, nor did she want to cry with the group.

Wei Ying deeply felt that the Yuhong Institution was a great test for her. Fortunately, because of the famine, Lu Qiuyue was worried about her going to the Yuhong Institution, so she only stayed there for half a year.

But half a year is enough for her to break down!!!

"Mom and Dad, can you fulfill my wish in the new year?" Wei Ying blinked her big eyes and tried her best to act cute. She was well aware of the lethality of cuteness in human cubs.

Impeccable.

Lu Chunyue was really touched by the cuteness.

Wei Ying deliberately acted coquettishly and cutely, and Wei Sheng surrendered.

"Yingying, what do you want? Mommy will buy it for you!" Lu Chunyue agreed very quickly, emm... so quickly that Wei Ying hadn't even finished her words.

“I want to go to elementary school.”

Wei Sheng was a little reserved, and agreed as soon as Wei Ying finished speaking.

Wei Ying couldn't help but wonder whether he had heard it clearly.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. The final result was that Wei Ying’s application was passed unanimously at the family meeting.

Wei Ying was very happy because she finally escaped from the crying group.

After entering elementary school, Wei Ying was very careful to look younger. Although she knew the answers to addition and subtraction problems at a glance, she still counted them one by one on her fingers.

Wei Ying not only did not feel it was troublesome, on the contrary she felt a sense of joy in reliving the past.

When Wei Sheng saw Wei Ying counting her fingers, she looked so well-behaved, childish and cute. He felt that his child was lovable no matter how he looked at her, so he specially made a small round and smooth wooden block for Wei Ying.

"Dear girl, you can use small wooden blocks to count from now on. See if you like it."

Wei Ying likes it very much.

Lu Chunyue was not to be outdone. In an era when visiting relatives required bringing one's own food, she actually supported Wei Ying in inviting her good friend to visit, and even specially prepared snacks for the occasion.

Wei Ying thought that her greatest luck was probably that no matter which life she lived, she would have parents who loved her enough, so she didn't have to experience the ups and downs of family life and would always be surrounded by love.

The Chengzhen APP is just the icing on the cake.

She is happy enough.

Wei Ying thought she would grow up happily surrounded by the love of her parents, but she never expected that things in the world are so unpredictable.

No one can predict an accident before it happens.
