Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

After taking a bath, An Yue went to bed.

The next day, early morning.

New Year's Day.

An Yue was awakened early by the sound of firecrackers in the village.

He got up quietly, put on his clothes, washed up, and went to the kitchen.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw her grandmother preparing breakfast. She stood at the door of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Grandma, Happy New Year!"

Grandma looked up and saw that it was Anyue, and said with a smile: "Yueyue is awake!

An Yue nodded and walked towards the stove.

My grandmother smiled happily and kneaded the dumplings in the basin.

An Yue took a quick look and found that today's breakfast was a little different from usual.

I saw that my grandmother seemed to be kneading something in her hands.

An Yue walked to the stove curiously and saw something that looked like 21st century rice dumplings.

"Grandma, what is this...?"

Grandma smiled and replied, "This is called reunion."

Isn't this the modern version of glutinous rice balls? It's just called "reunion" in this era, but the meaning is the same.

"Yueyue, come and help too." An Yue said, and then she rolled up her sleeves to wash her hands, ready to start.

Grandma asked with a smile: "Will Yueyue also have a reunion?"

"I've only watched my mother do it before, but I've never done it myself!"

An Yue picked up the white rice ball and kneaded it like her grandmother did.

The grandparents and grandchildren were in the kitchen, chatting with each other and finishing their breakfast in laughter.

After the reunion is done, take it to the dining table in the main room and prepare to eat.

The yard was bright, but the sky was a little foggy.

Perhaps it was because every household in the village was setting off firecrackers, and the air was affected by the smoke from the firecrackers.

At this time, my grandfather and An Nian were sitting in the yard, touching each other's sleeves as if they were talking and laughing about something.

My uncle and aunt also packed up and walked out of the house.

Grandma walked out of the kitchen door and said to everyone with a smile: "It's a reunion!"

Everyone smiled and said in unison: "Happy New Year!"

Grandfather and An Nian finally decided to wear the new coats that An Yue bought for them.

My grandfather's clothes fit him well and he looked smart and energetic.

Everyone went to the main house to have breakfast.

An Yue smiled and asked, "Uncle, have you prepared the New Year's money? Niannian and I will be visiting you soon!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The uncle smiled and scratched his head, then turned to ask Wei who was sitting next to him: "Wan'er, are all the copper coins ready?"

Wei nodded at him.

After breakfast.

I don't know when, my grandmother had changed into the new clothes that An Yue bought for her, and she looked elegant and decent.

The whole family sat in the yard, chatting and laughing, celebrating the New Year happily.

The ground in the yard was covered with red fragments after the sound of firecrackers, as bright as brocade.

An Yue and An Nian whispered to each other, and the brother and sister discussed how to wish their elders a happy new year.

An Nian brought two haystacks from the kitchen to the yard and placed them in front of his grandparents.

The brother and sister smiled happily and said in unison: "Grandpa and grandma, we wish you a happy New Year every month and every year!"

The two children are well-behaved and lovely, like a pair of golden boy and jade girl under the seat of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth.

The brother and sister knelt on the haystack with their knees bent, performed the kneeling ceremony, and said: "Yueyue wishes grandparents a happy new year and all the best."

An Nian went on to say: "I wish my grandparents good luck and great fortune every year."

Grandfather bent down and helped An Nian up, and grandmother helped An Yue up.

Then, the grandparents took out twelve copper coins from their arms and placed them in the palms of Anyue and Annian's hands.

Grandma said lovingly, "Okay, okay, you are all good children."

The twelve copper coins should represent the twelve months of a year, meaning there is money every month.

Afterwards, the brother and sister took the haystack and moved to their uncle and aunt.

She also knelt down and said, "Yueyue wishes uncle and aunt a long and happy marriage."

An Nian said timidly: "I wish my uncle and uncle...aunt good health every year."

Uncle quickly bent down and helped the brother and sister up, and aunt Wei forced a smile.

The uncle took out twelve copper coins from his arms, put them in An Yue's palm, and said with a smile: "Yue Yue, please get up quickly!"

Then the uncle gave An Nian twelve copper coins and said, "Niannian is so good!" He also pinched An Nian's chubby face.

New Year greetings are over!

Grandma walked straight to open the gate of the yard.

When the door opened, my grandmother smiled and shouted, "Good luck in opening the door!"

At this time, someone happened to pass by the gate of the yard.

The woman congratulated her grandmother, "Aunt Jiang, Happy New Year!"

Grandma smiled and congratulated him, "Great, great, happy new year everyone!"

When the grandmother saw the whole family, she smiled and asked, "Oh... are you all going to the ancestral hall to pay New Year's greetings to your ancestors?"

The woman smiled and replied, "Yes! Then Aunt Jiang, we will go first."

Grandma smiled and nodded at them.

He turned to everyone and said, "It's time for us to go to the ancestral hall."

My grandfather turned and walked into the main house, holding a jar of wine and a bowl and came to the yard.

The grandmother also walked into the main house, carrying a bundle of paper money and two sticks of incense, and handed them to her son in the yard.

Then he said to Wei: "Wan'er, since it is inconvenient for you to walk, you should stay at home!"

The grandfather then said to his son, "Ah Hai, take your sister and brother with you!"

When An Yue heard her grandfather say that he would take her and her brother to the Jiang family ancestral hall, she was also shocked and a little bit unbelieving.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai was also shocked after hearing this.

At this time, Aunt Wei pulled my uncle's arm and muttered, "Why bring these two outsiders to the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall!"

An Yue sighed inwardly: Could it be that the Wei family wants to make a scene again on New Year's Day?

An Yue didn't want to embarrass her grandfather, so she said, "Grandfather, Yueyue and Nian Nian are willing to stay at home, so you can go!"

Wei rolled her eyes at An Yue and whispered, "It's a good thing you still know not to go to the ancestral hall!"

Grandfather snorted righteously: "They are my grandchildren, Jiang Wuwen, and Jiang Paner's children. Why not?"

The An family no longer wanted the siblings, and the old couple didn't want them to think that the Jiang family didn't recognize them either, and they couldn't bear to see them suffer another blow.

Wei stood beside Jiang Chenghai and said timidly, "Dad, there is no precedent for this in this village. If others see this, they will laugh at us!"

My grandfather held his head high and said with a righteous look on his face, "Since there is no precedent for this in the village or outside, what's wrong with me, Jiang Wuwen, setting a precedent?"

Wei murmured again, "Then the child in my belly is also our Jiang family's child, why can't I go?"

Jiang Chenghai turned around and said, "Wan'er, didn't mother tell you that you can't move around."

Seeing that Wei was going around in circles, my grandmother knew that she just wanted to go to the ancestral hall. So she said, "Then come with us! But you must be careful when walking in and out."
