228: reluctant
Of course, his arrangements made it easier for the children and themselves, and others, and many others, who should be woken up. Children are excited and excited, so they can still control their voices? It is the result of restraint that they can keep the roof of others!
"The God of Wealth is here to receive the God of Wealth!"
A group of kids were like a competition, one shouting louder than the other.
Xu Jianguo was beaten up by Zhou Hongmei, and opened the door in a cotton jacket. He looked at the four or five small radish heads outside the door. He still smiled on his face. He reached out and took all the God of Wealth, and then gave the young generals who gave the God of Wealth to the god of wealth.
Two cents per person, not biased.
When the children got the money, they all smiled and said congratulations to Facai before they turned to the next family with a smile.
Xu Jianguo ran back to the east room quickly and lay on the bed, hoping that the next wave of people would be a little later and let him sleep more!
Later, Xu Jianguo figured it out and wanted them to come later, so it would be better to come early.
After sending it at one time, he was woken up again when he fell asleep. Don't be too happy.
Unfortunately, no matter what he thinks, he can't control those imaginative children.
Until everyone else got up and Xu Zhou took over his shift, Xu Jianguo had time to go back to make up for his sleep.
Xu Zhou took over his father's job and did nothing. He sat at the door of the main hall with a book to welcome the young guests who might come.
Sure enough, two more groups came afterwards, and Xu Zhou also saw the little son of his cousin's family. The five-year-old baby wearing a tiger hat, speaking softly and glutinously, and very cute.
Looking at Xiao Douding's share, Xu Zhou gave the other three people five cents each.
The children were so happy that they wanted to jump into the sky for a few times.
They came out at three or four o'clock. Generally, they would give one cent, and the better ones would give two cents. Some people would not give one cent. No matter how they shouted, they would not open the door. There was no way, so they could only transfer to the next house.
But there are not many who give five points at once.
Xiao Douding saw that everyone else had allocated the money, but he didn't. He suddenly became anxious and tried his best to stuff the red paper with the word "God of Wealth" in his hand to Xu Zhou.
"Mine, this is mine, you go ahead!"
"What do you want?" Xu Zhou blinked at Xiao Douding and asked innocently.
"God of Wealth! The God of Wealth is here, accept the God of Wealth! If you accept the God of Wealth, you will..." Xiao Douding wrinkled a pink and tender smile, tried hard to think about what his grandfather said, and was silent for a while, finally remembered, looked at Xu Zhou, and shouted: "You will get rich!"
Xu Zhou looked at his suddenly stretched face, and his shiny eyes couldn't help but reach out and pinched it. Then he took the God of Wealth in his hand, took out five cent coins from his pocket and stuffed them into Xiao Douding's pocket.
"Put it away, don't lose it!" After stuffing it, Xu Zhou patted Xiao Douding's pocket and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Fourth!" Xiao Douding saw that he only got one, but he got five coins. He immediately smiled and bent his eyes, bowed to Xuzhou cutely and thanked him, and then ran out happily.
Lin Baoxiu kept watching from the side, watching Xu Zhou teasing the little doll patiently, thinking, he is like him, he really likes the little doll, right?
But age is a flaw! Why is she not a little older!
Thinking of this, Lin Baoxiu couldn't help but feel a little worried. She wanted to ignore it. After all, people in the village who were about the same age as her had already gotten married and had children, but... Didn't Xu Zhou disagree with this!
Lin Baoxiu envied those people a little, but also felt that Xu Zhou was not wrong. Her Xu Zhou was not an ordinary person, so naturally she could not be like those people.
Thinking of this, Lin Baoxiu felt proud, and the matter of giving birth could only be delayed.
Fortunately, she has something to do now, so it is easy to divert her attention.
This is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the village is very lively. In addition to the children scattering the God of Wealth, after dawn, adults began to greet the New Year from house to house.
After breakfast, Xu Zhou led Lin Baoxiu to get New Year's money from the old lady, and then took her to her uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.
On the way, Lin Baoxiu was still a little uneasy.
"We are so old and we still have to pay New Year's money, right?" The key is that there are still a lot, she and Xu Zhou each cost five yuan!
"Please keep it safe!" Xu Zhou said with a smile, "If you are embarrassed, make more delicious food for grandma in the future!"
"But I don't know even!" Lin Baoxiu lowered her head and said in a low voice. The dishes she cooked were not as delicious as those made by Xu Zhou!
"I will teach you in the future." Xu Zhou said.
"Really?" Lin Baoxiu's eyes shiny, with a look of surprise on his face.
"When did I lied to you?" Xu Zhou glanced at her and asked with a raised eyebrows.
After hearing this, Lin Baoxiu nodded seriously. He had never cheated on serious things.
"Don't worry about this, there are many opportunities in the future!" Xu Zhou led the man to continue to walk towards his uncle's house.
Lin Baoxiu followed him and nodded, at least he had to wait until Xuzhou took the college entrance examination before talking.
However, Lin Baoxiu looked a little bad when she thought about the college entrance examination. Xu Zhou would feel uncomfortable if she didn’t get well in the exam. Naturally, she was not happy. If Xu Zhou did well in the exam, she would definitely have to go to college. Not to mention coming back once every half a month, it would be great if she could come back once every two months! She might as well come back once every half a year!
When Lin Baoxiu thought about how long he could see him once, she was really in trouble.
"What's wrong? This is?" Xu Zhou naturally noticed such an obvious emotional change and asked worriedly.
"Nothing!" Lin Baoxiu said in a low voice. After saying that, he saw Xu Zhou looking disbelief. He was stunned for a moment, but he still said honestly, "I just feel a little reluctant!"
"Hmm?" Xu Zhou was a little confused. He couldn't bear to buy delicious food for his grandma?
It’s not like it! Xu Zhou remembered that when he went to the market before, his young wife would take the initiative to buy food for her grandma!
"I can't bear to leave you going to college!" Lin Baoxiu looked at him and said seriously, "It will take a long time to come back!"
After hearing this, Xu Zhou couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"The college entrance examination is still half a year! I don't know what I can do! Are you worried about my college entrance examination? Is it too early to worry?"
"It's not too early!" Lin Baoxiu shook his head and whispered, "You will definitely pass the exam!"
"Okay!" Xu Zhou heard this, smiled softly, and then said, "Because it's still early, I didn't think about it. Of course, I didn't have any ideas at all."
"Hmm?" Lin Baoxiu looked up, looking forward to his thoughts.
"At the beginning, I planned to open a tailor shop for you and Linlin in the county town!" Xu Zhou said.
Lin Baoxiu was so shocked that she widened her eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Zhou smiled and continued, "Is it strange? You have the brain and craftsmanship, Linlin has craftsmanship, and when you open a tailor shop, your business should be good!"
"Then...then..." Lin Baoxiu stuttered and could not ask out the doubts in her heart.
"Why didn't it open?" Xu Zhou asked, and without waiting for Lin Baoxiu to answer, he continued: "The first one is that the funds are a little tight. Although you can take it out with your hands tightly, the pressure is still a bit too high for you two girls! Of course, this is not the main reason. The main reason is that I will take the college entrance examination in half a year, and I will definitely go to another place to study in the future. At that time, will your two tailor shops continue to open or not? Even if you can hold on, I can't see it, and I don't feel at ease!"
Lin Baoxiu was stunned. It turned out...it turned out that he had thought so much when she didn't know it!
"So, I thought, why don't you open it for the time being? When I booked to go to college, I will find you a store and let you open a tailor shop! This way..."
"Okay!" Before Xu Zhou could finish his words, Lin Baoxiu interrupted excitedly, fearing that if he spoke slowly, the person's thoughts would change.
Xu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed again.
"At first, I was worried that you would not leave Taoyuan Village!" Xu Zhou said.
"I'm willing!" Lin Baoxiu nodded and said softly: "As long as I'm with you, I'm willing to go anywhere!"
Although she would panic and uneasy when she went to a strange place, she would be able to overcome anything as long as she had him.
"Okay! Then let's arrange it like this!" Xu Zhou was moved when he heard this. He held her hand and couldn't help but use force.
"What are you going to arrange? Are there any arrangements for the New Year?"
The two people who were talking only realized when they heard this sound. It turned out that before they knew it, they had already walked to the door of their uncle's house!
The young couple was warmly welcomed into the house by their uncle and aunt. After that, they were the second uncle and fourth uncle's house. After a while, they were already ten o'clock when they got home.
And their family is also busy. After all, the old lady lives here, and the descendants of the Xu family are coming to greet the old lady!
Xu Zhou talked to them, but within a while, several cousins pulled them to play cards together.
Zhou Hongmei grabbed a plate of fried melon seeds and peanuts and put them on the table, letting them eat and play.
Lin Baoxiu looked at it for a while but couldn't understand it at all. So he didn't force himself. He said it to everyone and went back to his house. He was about to continue reading the book he read yesterday, but he saw two red envelopes under the book. He remembered that Zhou Hongmei and Xu Zhou both gave him a red paper bag yesterday. He was busy helping Zhou Hongmei make dumplings in the morning, but they forgot to open it. He was afraid that he would lose it after going out to pay New Year's greetings a while, so he took it out and put it under the book.
At this moment, Lin Baoxiu was not in a hurry to read a book. She took two red paper bags and carefully tore the red paper layer by layer. Then, she saw several new ten yuan in it.
It turns out that they have the custom of giving New Year’s money to their new wife for the first year, but only their parents-in-law and father-in-law, and no man gives it to their daughter-in-law!
Lin Baoxiu was collecting the money and couldn't help but smile sweetly. When she remembered the plan Xu Zhou mentioned, she couldn't bear to spend money. If she really wanted to open a shop, she would definitely have a lot of capital!
Lin Baoxiu is not a big deal to spend money. In the past six months, no matter what Xu Zhou gave her, Zhou Hongmei gave her, or what she kept secretly, it was useless. The expenses at home didn't cost her. She could only buy fabrics occasionally and spend some money.
So, there should be a lot left.
Lin Baoxiu took out the pocket money he saved in the box, plus the New Year's money he received yesterday and today, and there were a total of 268 yuan.
Lin Baoxiu took eighteen dollars for extra money, keeping it for occasional needs. The remaining 250 dollars was wrapped in a handkerchief and pressed it at the bottom of the box.
These must be collected and given to Xu Zhou when he is looking for money.
Everything was sorted out, and scholar Lin Bao took out the book and started reading it.
It was still lively outside, and from time to time you could hear one or two firecrackers. They were picked up by the children where they set off firecrackers. When a firecracker was rushing, there were always one or two fish that had missed the net. The children would pick it up, remove the gunpowder from the fuse, and light the firecrackers with matches to play with them.
In addition to the children's play, there are other things, such as opera, dancers, and dancers, and those who go from house to house, without leaving any family.
The master will give some things according to the situation. The more you give, the less you give, and the less you give. Some people are playing around at home, so the master will ask you to sing for a while and finally give more.
For example, because the Xu family was crowded and lively, Xuzhou asked the opera singers to sing a few more lines, and when they left, they gave them two dollars.
But it made people very happy! Of course, he was slapped by Zhou Hongmei a lot.
"Didn't I think you listen to it so that you can sing for a while?" Xu Zhouwen said aggrievedly. Fortunately, his cousins have all returned, otherwise, will he have any more faces?
"Ha..." Zhou Hongmei only sneered at this, "I'm so interested in watching it. Why don't you buy people and sing for me every day?"
"Mom, your idea is wrong. It's illegal to buy and sell people!"
