The happy little days of the Ye family

According to the practice in previous years, one's own children are given 10 cents as new year's money, the children of other relatives and friends are given 5 cents, and the children in the same village are given 2 cents.

It was the same this year. Ye Qingqing quietly prepared the New Year's money she was going to give out in advance in the house where she lived before she got married.

Long before Ye Qingqing left, everyone else in the room had tacitly begun to quietly prepare the new year's money.

The New Year's money prepared by everyone is the same as Ye Qingqing's. This is their routine, and it is almost the same every year.

Not only their family, but also the New Year's money in eight nearby villages is almost the same. It is rare that they have to tighten their belts to live because of the New Year's money.

Children they meet on the road, whether they recognize them or not, will be given two cents as a lucky gift.

Therefore, the Chinese New Year is children’s favorite holiday, and they spend time wandering on the road from morning to night.

Seeing that these two little guys were holding on and refused to sleep, the adults from the two families had prepared the New Year's money early.

A group of people were chatting and laughing, and time passed quickly. The younger generations in the family were one year older, and the adults like Ye Qingqing were another year older.

Now among the little ones at home, Xiaoqi is 5 years old, Tangtang is 3 years old, Yuanbao and Baoer are 2 years old, and Xiaoba is 1 year old.

As for the Tang family, Chenchen is 4 years old and Yangyang is already one and a half years old.

These little guys will all be young men and women in Yishui in a few years.

But looking at the silver-haired Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye, Ye Qingqing felt a little sad.

At some point, the old couple's originally straight waists became hunched, and there were several more wrinkles on their faces.

Before she could finish feeling sad, Chenchen and Xiaoqi, two live treasures, made everyone in the room laugh.

Just after the New Year's Eve, Xiao Qi and Chen Chen, who were originally sleepy, immediately became energetic.

The two little guys happily came to the big guy, smiling and saying all kinds of auspicious New Year words.

"Happy Chinese New Year! I hope my grandparents, grandparents, and Grandpa Tang will be healthy and live a long life."

"My parents, uncles, aunts, and aunts and uncles, all of you are in good health, your dreams come true, and you make a lot of money. I also hope that my younger brothers and sisters are in good health and happy every day."

"Xiao Qi's little mouth is so sweet. Have you memorized such a long list of words for a long time?" Ye Qingqing happily handed over the lucky money in his hand.

Chenchen on the side was not to be outdone and said obediently:

"Happy New Year! I wish my great-grandma, grandma, grandpa and grandpa good health, a smile, and a long life."

"I wish my parents and all my uncles and aunts good fortune and good health."

"Okay, okay, they are all good kids."

Mrs. Ye almost burst out laughing when she looked at the two well-behaved little guys. The smile on her face was both loving and proud.

After a while, the hands and arms of the two little guys were filled with lucky money.

The two brothers were beaming with joy. It is good to have more elders in the family.

Looking at these heavy New Year's money, the two little guys smiled very happily, and it was not in vain that they had memorized the congratulations for so long.

The two brothers had already discussed these auspicious words for the New Year. They wanted to use these words to pay New Year greetings to the elders in the village, so as to get some lucky money.

Holding the New Year's money, Xiao Qi glanced at Wang Chunyu and Ye Donglin with a wary expression, and then quickly ran back to the house, preparing to hide all the money.

Chenchen had no memory of last year's New Year's money, but now she was sensible and knew to hide the money quickly.

He had heard from several friends that the elders in the family liked to help them keep their New Year's money, but if the money was given away, it would be difficult to get it back.

Although Chenchen was young, she was very thoughtful. She secretly divided the New Year's money into three parts and hid them under the pillow, under the quilt at the end of the bed, and in the small cabinet where clothes were kept.

The little guy thought he was hiding it well, but what he didn't know was that Ye Qingqing had long known that the little guy liked to hide his pocket money in these places.

That is to say, she didn't like the little guy's trivial qualities, so she didn't care about him.

At night, when Ye Qingqing was washing up and returning to her room, Chenchen ran down from her little bed and hugged her thigh.

"Mom, I have grown up. The New Year's money you gave me last year was ten cents. Why is it still ten cents this year? Can you give me a little more, eleven cents?"

"of course……"

Ye Qing paused for a moment in amusement, and then added the last two or three words in Chenchen's expectant eyes:

"No way."

Seeing that the smile on the little guy's face froze, he patted his little butt with a wicked smile and told him to go to bed quickly.

"Mom, you've learned too much."

Chenchen ran back to her crib angrily.

Hum, I will ignore you today.

It was long past Chenchen's usual bedtime, and he was really tired after playing all day. As soon as the little guy lay on the bed, he started to snore.

When Ye Qingqing covered him with a quilt, he gently tapped the little guy's pointed nose, with a sly smile on his face:

"You're still young. These little tricks are leftover from my childhood."

Xiao Qi counted the money and fell asleep happily.

Although he didn't go to bed until midnight last night, Xiaoqi still got up early thinking about going to pay New Year's greetings to other elders in the village.

At this time, Wang Chunyu and Ye Donglin were still sleeping on the big bed, and the little guy got dressed obediently and went out to wash himself.

After washing up, the little guy put on the small satchel Wang Chunyu made for him.

At his request, Wang Chunyu embroidered 8 candies on it. In the little guy's understanding, these are his younger brother and younger sister.

And his own little purse is still the original one, with 7 candies on it, representing Xiaoqi and Tangtang.

After breakfast, Xiao Qi couldn't wait to put on her small satchel, then held Tangtang in hand and jumped outside.

And Chenchen, who usually likes to stay in bed the most, also got up early with the help of the lucky money.

The little guy carried the same small shoulder bag as Xiao Qi, but Ye Qingqing had two little suns embroidered on it.

Just after breakfast, I heard Xiao Qi's chirping voice outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Er Gouzi, Er Ya and Xiao Shitou also came over.

A group of little guys first paid New Year's greetings at Tang's house and took away many snacks and New Year's money.

Then the group went to Ye's house, Wang's house, Erya's house and Er Gouzi's house.

These little guys are not afraid of life. In addition to their own elders, they also follow other children in the village and go from house to house to pay New Year greetings.

These little guys said auspicious words that had been prepared in advance, making the elders very happy. Their small satchels were filled with various snacks and lucky money.

After the New Year greetings, these little guys did not go home, but happily gathered around the salesman with their New Year's money.

These little guys are smart. If they don’t spend this money quickly, the adults will probably confiscate it.

Xiaoqi even spent one-third of her New Year's money on buying a lot of candies. In a very good mood, I stuffed myself and Tangtang beside me with a piece of sweet maltose.

Some of them bought toys and hairbands for his friends. Half of the new year's money they just received was spent in the blink of an eye.

A large group of little kids were wandering around the village with various snacks. The village was filled with the chirping discussions and all kinds of laughter of these little guys.
