Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 84: New Year's Lucky Draw

After a moment, the ceremony is over!

The Jiang family members walked out of the ancestral hall in an orderly manner.

Anyan and Yue stood in the corner, waiting for their grandparents to come home.

At this time, my uncle and aunt were already waiting outside the ancestral hall. After the clan members had evacuated, the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren finally arrived.

Grandfather walked out of the ancestral hall holding An Nian’s hand, and grandmother walked out of the ancestral hall holding An Yue’s hand.

Although the sky was a little gray at this time, the family's hearts were especially bright.

Wei put her arms around her uncle Jiang Chenghai's arm. Seeing the siblings entering and leaving the ancestral hall peacefully, she secretly rolled her eyes at them in displeasure.

Then the family prepared to go home.

At this time, my grandmother smiled and said, "Let's go home from the end of the village along the path from the west side of the village! On the way, each of us can pick up some firewood or vegetable leaves to take home."

An Nian, who was running in the front, turned around and asked curiously, "Grandma, why did you bring firewood and vegetable leaves home?"

After An Yue heard what her grandmother said, she already understood, but chose to remain silent.

Grandma smiled and explained to An Nian: "Bringing firewood sticks home means bringing wealth home, and bringing vegetable leaves home also has the same meaning."

An Nian nodded, picked up a branch on the road and said, "Grandma, do you think this is feasible?"

Grandmother smiled kindly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, but it would be best if it were broom branches."

So, my uncle and aunt began to look around, looking for the yellow broom tree.

After walking for a long time, I didn't see any yellow broom trees, but I did meet many familiar people.

When acquaintances meet, they will smile in tacit understanding and congratulate each other: "Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"

An Yue suddenly remembered a sentence that she often heard adults say in the 21st century, which was "A filial son is born under the yellow broom tree."

Could the branch of the yellow broom they are looking for be this yellow broom branch?

An Yue exclaimed in her heart: This Huangjing can cure diseases and save lives, such as malaria, enteritis, and rashes. Secondly, it can cure children's "naughtiness".

The third one is even more exaggerated, it can also make people rich. It is true that if I have Huang Jing in my hand, the world is mine.

They were walking and chatting about family matters along the way, and suddenly they came to a small hill. My uncle looked up and saw what looked like a few yellow broom trees on the top of the hill from afar.

The family climbed up the hill without any hesitation and took a closer look. They saw that the branches were bare, without even a leaf.

However, there were yellow broom seeds on the branches, so it was clearly identifiable as a yellow broom tree. Each person broke off a yellow broom branch and held it in his hand.

An Yue picked up the seeds of the yellow broom and held them in her palm. She smelled them closely and a unique scent of traditional Chinese medicine came to her face.

The family took the yellow broom branches in their hands, swung them and walked towards home.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the village entrance.

The family walked along the path from the end of the village to the entrance, and they were sweating all over.

An Yue sighed inwardly: "In the days without high technology, this was also a form of collective entertainment for the family during the New Year."

When they arrived at the gate of the yard, my grandmother did not rush to open the door. Instead, the whole family stood at the gate and carefully looked at their own door.

After all, in the past, there were no other decorations on the gates except couplets and door gods.

This year's gate has large couplets with black characters on red paper pasted on both sides, and the door gods on the gate make it look majestic and domineering.

Two rows of small red lanterns are hung on the eaves of the gate. When the breeze blows, they dance with the wind, making the whole gate look festive and lively.

My uncle spread his arms exaggeratedly and said jokingly, "Look! How festive our family is!"

An Nian quickly patted his chest and confidently agreed, "My uncle and I hung this together."

Looking at An Nian's proud little appearance, the corners of the family's mouths curled up again.

An Yue stood at the door, looking up thoughtfully at this home. This place had given her warmth. When she thought that her siblings would soon leave this home, she still felt a little reluctant.

Grandma smiled and shook her head, then took out the key and prepared to open the door.

As the door opened, my grandmother said, "Good luck in opening the door!"

Then, the family walked into the yard and put the yellow broom branches in their hands into the main house. Everyone felt a little thirsty and drank a few gulps of hot water from the bowls.

An Nian was jogging and running all the way, sweating all over, and steam was coming out of his back. An Yue reached out and touched his thin clothes, and found that they were already soaked.

After he entered the room, he hurried to the eight-immortals table, picked up the teapot, poured a bowl of tea, picked up the big bowl and started to drink it.

After An Nian finished drinking the water, An Yue reminded him, "Niannian, change your thin clothes quickly, or you will catch a cold."

An Nian put down the bowl, raised his hand to wipe the remaining tea from the corner of his mouth, his big round eyes instantly narrowed into a smile, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

My grandmother was cleaning the mud off her cloth shoes in the yard.

An Yue moved two benches and placed them in the yard. She also took out the peanuts from the house. The whole family sat in the yard drinking tea and eating peanuts. Life was so wonderful!

Half an hour passed.

Only then did the grandmother stand up and prepare to go to the kitchen to make lunch. An Yue also stood up and went to the kitchen together.

The grandparents and grandchildren chatted and laughed in the kitchen, and lunch was ready in a short while.

The family was having lunch around the octagonal table.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, my grandmother said, "The younger generation of the Jiang family will definitely come to our house to pay New Year's greetings in a while, so everyone should prepare some food and copper coins."

My uncle smiled and said, "Mom, every year these kids come to our house, and if we give each of them two copper coins, we have to give out dozens of copper coins."

Grandmother smiled and asked, "Why? Are you reluctant? When your child comes out, you can also take your child with you to collect their coins. You will think it is not enough then!"

The grandfather looked at his son Jiang Chenghai and said, "Later in the afternoon, come with me to your uncles' houses to pay New Year's greetings."

My uncle nodded and continued eating.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family ate white rice and chicken stewed with Chinese cabbage. Dishes with the smell of meat were very delicious. An Yue had a big appetite and picked up several pieces of chicken to chew on.

Wei, who was sitting opposite, looked at her and couldn't help but glare at her secretly.

An Yue was already accustomed to Wei's glaring. The more she glared, the bigger mouthfuls of meat she ate.

Just like that, after the meal, An Yue ate two bowls of rice in one breath, rubbed her stomach lightly with a very satisfied expression, and was in a very good mood.

Just after lunch, the grandmother saw that An Nian was a little sleepy, and hurriedly said, "Nian Nian, on the first day of the New Year, you must not take a nap in bed!"

An Nian was used to taking a nap every day. When he heard his grandmother say that he couldn't take a nap, he asked in confusion, "Grandma, why is that?"

"This New Year's Day is the first day of the year. No water is poured, no floor is swept, no children are disciplined, and no afternoon nap is taken."
