Reborn as a widow in the 70s

As the crackling firecrackers sounded, the hot dumplings were taken out of the pot and served on the table one by one.

After everyone sits down, Zhao Xuewen will kowtow to his elders to pay New Year greetings according to the rules of his hometown.

Seeing that he was about to kneel down, Song Xiuxiu stopped him quickly: "Xuewen, this is no longer the case in the new society, just bow!"

But Zhao Xuewen insisted: "Auntie, I don't care if you are happy or not outside, but you must kowtow to your elders during the Chinese New Year here!"

Lu Aiguo on the side also said: "This is the child's heart. If we can bear it, let him knock it!"

After hearing what he said, Song Xiuxiu nodded in agreement.

Then Zhao Xuewen respectfully kowtowed to Lu Aiguo and Song Xiuxiu: "Uncle Lu, Auntie! Happy New Year!"

"Get up quickly!"

Song Xiuxiu took out fifty cents from her pocket with a smile and handed it to Zhao Xuewen's hand.

"This is the New Year's money given to you by my aunt, keep it!"

Lu Aiguo, who was sitting next to him, also took out fifty cents and handed it over: "Uncle Lu gave this to you!"

Zhao Xuewen took the money and thanked him, then stuffed the money into his pocket.

When Yaya who was standing next to her saw that she had the money, she immediately followed suit and knelt on the ground, and said seriously to her parents: "Happy New Year to my parents!"

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.

According to the custom in her hometown, boys have to kowtow when paying New Year greetings, while girls only need to bow. But in order not to displease Yaya, Song Xiuxiu said nothing and took out fifty cents and handed it over like before.

Yaya took the money given by her mother and stuffed it into her pocket, then stretched out her chubby little hand to her father and looked at him with big eyes.

Lu Aiguo took out fifty cents and waved them in front of her eyes. He originally wanted to tease her, but he never expected that this little girl had quick eyesight and quick hands and snatched the new year's money away.

Lu Aiguo was left with a helpless smile!

"Aren't we two elders?" Song Sihong said jokingly.

Zhao Xuewen: "Of course I'm an elder. I'm about to pay New Year's greetings to my two aunts!"

Then they respectfully greeted Sanhong and Sihong for the New Year just like before. Yaya also followed suit and joined in the fun, making everyone laugh!

Sanhong and Sihong also prepared New Year's money for the two little guys in advance. Before Yaya could be happy after receiving the New Year's money, she saw her brother handing all the money to her mother!

The little girl then remembered what her father said yesterday. It seemed that her busy work was really in vain!

Although he was a little reluctant, he still obediently handed over his New Year's money.

After Song Xiuxiu collected the money, she said seriously to the two of them: "You must take this as a warning, and you won't be an example next time, you know!"

Zhao Xuewen nodded, and Yaya asked quietly from the side: "What do you mean?"

Everyone was amused by Yaya again!

Yaya was really confused by these adults, why she loves to laugh so much!

Zhao Xuewen whispered to her: "I will explain to you later!"

"Okay, let's eat dumplings!" Lu Aiguo said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating dumplings.

Only Ya Ya was sitting at the table, holding chopsticks in her hands and staring at the dumplings on the plate with a frown on her face.

"Why don't you eat Ya Ya!"

Song Xiuxiu asked curiously.

Ya Ya looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "I remember clearly the dumplings wrapped with coins yesterday. Why do they look the same after being cooked?"

After hearing what her daughter said, Song Xiuxiu smiled, took a dumpling from her own bowl and put it into Yaya's bowl.

"Stop worrying and eat your dumplings! Maybe you'll be the first to eat them!"

Yaya thought what her mother said made sense, so she picked up the dumpling in her bowl and ate it.

As soon as he bit into the stuffing, Yaya showed an expression of surprise, then took out a coin from his mouth and said happily: "Mom, I ate it! I really ate it!"

Song Xiuxiu was also very happy to see Yaya clearing away the gloom just now.

"Eat quickly, maybe you can still eat it!"

"it is good!"

There were three coin dumplings in total, and the remaining two were Yaya’s biggest motivation to eat the dumplings.

Seeing that her daughter was eating obediently, Song Xiuxiu was about to start eating too.

At this moment, Lu Aiguo put a dumpling into her bowl and said softly: "Eat quickly, it will be cold soon!"

Song Xiuxiu gave him a gentle look, and then put the dumpling into her mouth.

"Ok?"

Song Xiuxiu took out a coin from her mouth in surprise. When Yaya saw it, she immediately shouted: "Mom has eaten it too. Mom will have good luck like me!"

Song Xiuxiu smiled and shook the coin in her hand at the man, who also smiled and gave her another dumpling.

It's just that this one no longer has coins, but is filled with brown sugar and peanuts. It's very sweet, and it's sweet to the heart...

When the dumplings were almost finished, Sanhong ate the last coin.

Seeing Sanhong's happy look, Sihong held her arm and said with pretense of envy: "Sanjie is really blessed. I want to get closer to you and get the blessing!"

San Hong happily patted Si Hong on the back, which meant passing the blessing on!

Just as the family had finished eating, Qian Dasheng's voice came from the yard. He was bringing his younger brothers and sisters over to pay New Year's greetings.

Song Xiuxiu had already prepared the new year's money, one for each person and five cents for each person.

Looking at the five cents in his hand, Qian Dasheng's eyes widened instantly.

In previous years, the aunts and uncles in the compound all received one or two cents of lucky money, but today they actually received five cents. This was a huge sum of money for Qian Dasheng!

In fact, Song Xiuxiu didn't know how much other people would give. After all, she was in her first year. After careful consideration, she decided to give two points to children with a normal relationship, and five cents to the children of Camp Qian's family next door.

Firstly, the adults of the two families have a good relationship, and secondly, the children from both families always play together, especially Qian Cuicui, who takes great care of Yaya.

After paying New Year's greetings, Qian Dasheng took his younger siblings, Zhao Xuewen and Ya Ya to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings.

"You should take a rest. I'll clean up the kitchen. When it gets warmer, we can go out to celebrate the New Year."

He said that Lu Aiguo had to clean up the dishes.

Song Sihong stopped her quickly and said, "Second brother-in-law, you go and accompany the second sister. The third sister and I are here!"

"Okay then, you guys should take a rest after cleaning up!" After saying that, he helped Song Xiuxiu back to the bedroom.

The children came back soon. After all, the adults at home had told them to only go to the homes of people with whom they usually have a good relationship to pay New Year greetings.

It’s not that I have bad relations with other families, but today I have to pay New Year’s money when my child comes to visit. We usually don’t have close relationships with each other, but today it’s always bad to let them spend money!
