532: Better than farming
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household was very lively. The Xu family was even more lively because of an old lady. The descendants of the Xu family came to kowtow to the old lady to wish him a New Year.
The old lady's grandchildren have started their own families and have no New Year's money, so the great-grandchildren have a share.
I didn’t have much spare money before, so I didn’t want to give it too much. This year I’m different. My grandchildren and daughter-in-law all secretly gave her money. Now she is a rich little old lady.
Therefore, the New Year's money given is much richer than in previous years. I used to give two or five yuan, but this year each great-grandson gave ten yuan, mainly because there are too many great-grandsons. The four sons, except for Xu Jianguo, only Xuzhou has one son, and the other three sons, and every family has three or four sons, one family, and there are more than ten. By this calculation, it can be said that it is a very big deal.
Of course, there are no other grandchildren, but Xu Zhou, Xu Lin and Du Baoxiu still have them.
After all, there are only three people who secretly put money to her. Of course, other grandchildren cannot be said to be unfilial. They know that she likes to eat and have bought things to honor her before the Chinese New Year.
So, they only have their children, and they themselves have nothing.
Xu Zhou, Xu Lin and Du Baoxiu were quite happy when they received the New Year's money. They all smiled brightly, and the old lady couldn't help laughing. She was just a dollar, which was much less than what they secretly gave her. People who didn't know thought they had taken advantage of!
Du Baoxiu followed Xu Zhou and went to many people to pay New Year's greetings. Du Baoxiu naturally knew these people before. Now, looking at them, it was like she was a newly married young wife. Everyone was polite to her, no longer like before.
Du Baoxiu is not a person who loves to hold grudges. The past has passed, and she will not bring up old debts with these people.
Moreover, Du Baoxiu is willing to accept such a new life.
In the past, Du Baoxiu was reluctant to meet these people. Even if she was calm on the face, she would feel uncomfortable because of the gossip they said. But now, this kind of repulsion seems to have disappeared with her surname Lin.
However, even so, Du Baoxiu still prefers to stay at home.
So, in the afternoon, Du Baoxiu stopped going out.
Seeing this, Xu Zhou did not take her out, but went to Aunt Si’s house, bought two decks of playing cards, and taught her to play poker at home.
After a while, Xu Bo and his cousins came to play and soon gathered together.
Du Baoxiu and Xu Lin quickly made way out of their position and played for these cousins.
Xu Bo also wanted to play, but unfortunately, there was a big hole on his back, which restricted his performance and no one was willing to take him.
So he could only be a onlooker.
Fortunately, as a onlooker, I couldn't help but feel very glad when I saw the other brothers losing money so smoothly. Otherwise, he would definitely be one of the people who lost money.
"Switch people! I'm almost out of money!" Xu Hai took out another dollar from his pocket. Well, it's the Chinese New Year, his wife specially gave him ten dollars to use for him to press his pocket. At this moment, half of it is almost out.
"If you can't do it, you'll end up and don't take up space!" Xu Zhou took the dollar fluently, and then found Qimao. While busy, he said without forgetting.
"We are asking you to leave and change someone else's place!" Xu Ze also handed over two cents and said to Xu Zhou with a dark face.
Like Xu Hai, he was almost lost.
Replace people quickly so that he can get some back.
"I'm going to happen? Do you ask others whether they agree or not? Do they still want to make money from me?" Xu Zhou said while lit the money.
The others nodded decisively, "Yes, yes, he won the money, he ended up, who can we get it with?"
"Are you stupid?" Xu Hai turned around and rolled his eyes and said, "I'm lucky today. Can you get money back from him? It's better to kill each other!"
“…”
"Kill a ghost, the money is in the hands of others. Can we kill each other and kill each other and kill each other?"
Xu Hai: "..." It seems that this is the reason!
So, what should I do now? Continue to fight with him to the end? Or should I fight with him to the end?
Xu Hai looked at the 70 cents in his hand, gritted his teeth and shouted to continue, but he didn't believe it anymore. Can he keep memorizing it today?
Afterwards, Xu Zhou killed all sides and offended his ten cousins.
"Xuzhou, you can't do this!"
"That's right, it's the New Year, at least put some water for us! How can you explain to your sister-in-law when you ask us to go back like this?"
"That's right, kneeling down on the laundry board on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Is this the intention that I can't turn over this year? I will always be pressed by my wife?"
"The New Year is full of Chinese New Year, we can't repay you. Let's beat him together!"
My cousins say everything, and I say it’s very lively.
Xu Zhou won the money and was run by a group of them. He was not angry at all and listened to them with a smile.
It was not until the old lady came that Xu Zhou handed over all the money she had won to her.
"Grandma, this money is what my cousins are filial to you!" When Xu Zhou stuffed the money to the old lady, he looked around his cousins and said to the old lady.
"Ouch!" The old lady didn't expect that there would be such a good thing to come out to bask in the sun, and she laughed in surprise, "Is the sun coming out from the west today?"
"Oh, grandma, what you said! If the sun comes out from the east, we can't respect you?"
"That's right, isn't it worth paying for grandma?"
"Grandma, we will make money for you next year!"
The other cousins beat the snake and followed the stick and immediately said with a smile, as if they had forgotten that the money was exported.
Xu Zhou stood aside and smiled, with no intention of exposing it.
The old lady smiled and collected the money, one or two yuan, and the thick ones were added up, which had to be a few dozen yuan.
"You guys do your best this year and strive to contribute more next year!" The old lady put the money in her pocket and then said to her grandchildren.
"Yes!" several people shouted loudly, "I will do my best this year!"
A group of people were talking and laughing, and it was so lively that it made people envious.
Or no one dares to bully this Xu family in Taoyuan Village. Not only do they have many brothers, but the key is to be united.
Brothers work together to cut off gold.
Otherwise, no matter how many people you have, they will be like a pile of loose sand, and they will not be afraid of it.
Because they were all cousins, Du Baoxiu and Xu Lin did not join in the fun, but sat with Zhou Hongmei and the others while watching the sun at the wall outside.
In addition to them, there is Ma Yuzhen. With Ma Yuzhen here, you won’t be bored.
Du Baoxiu casually listened to Ma Yuzhen's rumor that he had heard from somewhere, while paying attention to his own yard and listening to the laughing and making noise inside, he couldn't help but feel happy.
She likes such a bustle, and the family is very happy. Although I have small conflicts, it does not affect my feelings, and will not make a fuss to the death for a little profit.
"Sister-in-law, why are you laughing at?" Xu Lin, who was sitting next to her, looked at her sister-in-law holding her cheek while smiling, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hehe... the new year is not allowed to be greeted with a smile?" Du Baoxiu said with a smile.
Xu Lin nodded, but that's not the case, so she laughed.
A new year, a new beginning, Xu Lin thought about how much money can she earn in this complete year?
"Sister-in-law, let's be happy this year!" Xu Lin said with a smile at her sister-in-law. She wanted to try whether she could earn 10,000 yuan by the end of the year.
Xu Lin didn't think about making money like his brother. She didn't have that great ability or ambition.
She was satisfied with earning 10,000 yuan.
Du Baoxiu nodded, "I will definitely work hard!"
"Hey, how much money can you two earn in a year?" Ma Yuzhen, who was originally talking to Zhou Hongmei, couldn't help but strode across her head and asked curiously.
"It's normal!" Xu Lin said.
"Can you earn 3,000 yuan?" Ma Yuzhen continued to ask.
"...It's time to settle!" Xu Lin thought for a while and said solemnly.
"That's not bad!" Ma Yuzhen nodded, "It's better than farming at home!"
Xu Lin: "Yeah!"
Du Baoxiu smiled aside and didn't say anything.
"However, it's already very good for you two little girls!" Ma Yuzhen said seriously: "You are also good at abilities. Even if you go to big cities, you won't be able to make money!"
"What big city are you going to!" Zhou Hongmei glanced at her and said, "Your two sons don't want your care?"
When Ma Yuzhen heard this, she couldn't help but laugh, "How can that happen? If I really go to a big city, Xu Weigong can find a stepmother for them in less than two days!"
"If Mr. Xu Wei heard what you said, his skin would probably itch again!" Zhou Hongmei said.
When Ma Yuzhen heard this, she chuckled. She had no idea of going to a big city. How dare people like her who have only been to her parents' home at the farthest distance? She was afraid that she would not find a toilet when she went to a big city!
Her only idea was that her two children would study hard, and she would not expect them to be as good as Xuzhou. She would only hope that they could study hard. Even if they just took an ordinary university in the future, she would be very satisfied.
