Chapter 118

However, Su Wan had reduced the amount of red envelopes, and the style of a rich man was still shocking. She didn't know at first that this red envelope was not available to every child. There was only one son's relative, and the one who received the red envelope was that son. If there were many children, they would give it to the youngest child. Generally speaking, only one child in the family would receive it. Su Wan gave it to her own nephew and nieces. It would be fine if she was happy. Song Ziheng's cousin also had one child. At first, they didn't take it seriously, thinking that at most one or two coins. Aunt Song also told Song's mother that this wife was well married, generous and good at doing things, and she didn't spend much money, which made the children happy.

Unexpectedly, Su Wan was much more generous than she thought. When she opened the red envelope, she actually had six copper coins for each person. She was not good at doing things, she was obviously spending money! Uncle Song and his wife looked at each other and took the red envelope. They had to pay back the red envelope in the future. It was really unnecessary to give so many. If the number of children given differently, Li would probably make trouble again when he saw it. But then he thought, the sister-in-law was relieved again. Ziheng's wife was really a ignorant person as everyone said, and she should have more contact in the future.

So Su Wan didn't know that the result of being a boy from Shancai was that not only her two sisters-in-laws, but also her two cousin-laws were much more enthusiastic about her and went to the Song family yard from time to time to talk to her.

The children were really excited. They ran to the yard to play hide-and-seek with red envelopes. They were sweating all over and didn't feel cold at all. The adults in the room surrounded the brazier, listening to the laughter outside, and also had smiles on their faces.

In the second half of the night, Su Wan began to be unable to hold on, and the chatting sounds around her gradually became less and she leaned on Song Ziheng's shoulder and fell asleep. She heard a sound of firecrackers in her ears, and she woke up suddenly. She almost jumped up from the stool in fear. Song Ziheng hurriedly took her shoulder. Fortunately, everyone in the Song family also got up to go to the yard to set off firecrackers, but did not notice her movements.

Seeing that it was a little dawn outside, Su Wan asked in a half-dumb voice: "When is it?"

"Firecrackers are set off at the fifth day of the lunar calendar, and it is about four o'clock in the hour of Yin."

At about four o'clock in the morning, Su Wan couldn't help but stretch and finally got through it.

After setting off the firecrackers, the men and boys went out. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the ancestral hall was opened. Women could not go there, but they could watch the fun. Li pulled the two sisters-in-law of his cousin to follow him. Su Wan's eyelids were fighting, so she sat in the firewood and narrowed her eyes for a while. Then Zhang started to cook breakfast, and she followed her when she saw this.

There are also some specialties in breakfast on the first day of the Chinese New Year. I have to eat glutinous rice. Magnum is very interesting to make. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Song's mother steamed the glutinous rice and brought a wooden barrel to the next door. There was a stone mortar in their house that was specially used to make glutinous rice. Su Wan also realized that a group of people followed him to see. The hot glutinous rice was poured into the stone mortar. Song Ziheng and his brothers each held a hammer and pounded it alternately. While the iron was hot, they had to beat it hard for a while after pounding the glutinous rice, so that it would rot into rice mud.

The Song family did not give money, but gave Caifu Niang a piece of the baked glutinous rice ball. The hot and warm glutinous rice balls were eaten with candy, which was quite delicious, and the rest was made into large pieces of dry shade. Su Wan saw the first time she saw the glutinous rice balls. She also brought glutinous rice to make, and she also brought glutinous rice to make. During the New Year, she wanted to have a piece of the glutinous rice balls made by each family. She had to eat a piece of the glutinous rice balls. She couldn't finish it and put it all in the Spring Festival. Therefore, their family usually didn't have to make it by themselves during the New Year.

The glutinous rice dumplings I made yesterday were already dry. They were cut into square pieces and neatly arranged in bamboo baskets. Zhang took half a basin and used different methods to cook salty soup, fried it with oil and added sugar, and steamed it better. He ate sweet and salty food at will. When the others came back, they used breakfast directly. After the meal, the children went back to the house to make up for their sleep. Seeing this, Su Wan also went back to her house, took off her clothes and lay on the bed and fell asleep.
