"Yiyi, the clothes on you and Xiaofeng are so beautiful!" Yao Huihui, the eldest daughter of the second uncle's family, touched the clothes on Yao Yi and her brother and praised them.

"Yes, Sister Yiyi, our county does not have clothes that are so tight around the waist. Your clothes in Nancheng are so beautiful!" Yao Yanyan, the second child, agreed with envy in her eyes.

"That's right! Then you guys should also try the delicious food I brought back from Nancheng!" Yao Yi smiled and stood up gently, found the New Year snacks Li Mei had prepared, and grabbed a handful of colorful candies from inside.

Divide it between two sisters.

"This is peanut candy, this is corn candy, this is...sister, show me what you have!" Yao Yanyan, who was a teenage girl after all, said in surprise about the appearance and taste of the candy in her hand,

Finally, he asked worriedly.

"Shh... keep your voice down, my brother is sleeping!" Yao Huihui couldn't help but pointed at Yao Feng, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Yiyi, let's wait until Xiaofeng wakes up before coming over!" Yao Huihui put the candy in her pocket and dragged her sister away who wanted to say something else.

"Sister, what are you doing? I want to be with Yiyi again..." Listening to the sound getting further and further away, Yao Yi casually tied the opened candy bag tightly again, then took off his coat and got into the bed to hug Yao Feng.

Fall into a deep sleep.

"How has Li Mei been suffering in Nancheng this year?" Zheng Huajuan carried two benches, brought half a bag of melon seeds fried at home, sat in the corner under the sun, and asked curiously.

"Today was okay. I made more money than in previous years, but I was really tired. I never slept past 5:30!" Li Mei said truthfully.

"Oh, this is how making money is. If the adults are not suffering now, then the children will be suffering!" Zheng Huajuan said with emotion.

"Who says it's not the case? This child is the motivation for all our efforts as parents!" Li Mei agreed.

"Stop talking about this, how are Yiyi's grades now?" Zheng Huajuan asked, changing the subject.

"Yiyi, she is more sensible now than before. She ranked first in grade in this exam and received a scholarship of 100 yuan!" Li Mei smiled from ear to ear when mentioning Yao Yi.

"Does this school give you money to study?" Zheng Huajuan asked in surprise.

"Oh...that is to say, Yiyi, this child, has been smart and sensible since she was a child, unlike the two in my family who only know how to eat and play every day!" Zheng Huajuan sighed with envy.

"Look at what you're talking about. Hui Hui is a good girl who is famous for her hard work in our village!" Li Mei rolled her eyes at her.

"Alas, no matter how well-raised a girl is, she is not raised by others. It would be better to have a son!" Zheng Huajuan always wanted to raise a son so that he and his wife could provide for them in their old age, but she hurt her body while raising Yao Yanyan.

"Actually, I have always envied you. The key to having children is that your children are sensible!" Zheng Huajuan said sincerely.

"Second sister-in-law, you don't go out much. Women outside can already hold up half the sky. I saw many people marrying into the woman's family in Nancheng. When the time comes, the children will not have the woman's surname. In this way, the son and daughter will

What's the difference?" Li Mei persuaded with disapproval.

"How many of those who are willing to marry into a wife are capable? It's not like they can't find a wife." Zheng Huajuan shook her head. She didn't believe that a capable and capable man would be willing to marry into someone else's family, and he would not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.

"Oh, think for the best in everything, just in case..." Li Mei also knew that what she said made sense, but she could only comfort herself.

"You guys are happy to be back today. Let's not talk about this. Tell me what delicious and fun places there are in Nancheng!" Zheng Huajuan also knew that this topic was unanswerable, so she changed her mood and said.

"This is Nancheng. Let me tell you about a new shopping mall that opened this year. This mall..." Li Mei had actually not been to many places in Nancheng. She could only try her best to describe what she heard and saw vividly.

When Yao Yi and his brother woke up, the sky had already darkened, and the things they had brought back were packed by Yao Jianguo and his wife.

"Wake up, let's go and give your grandparents a good look!" The couple were muttering something in a low voice, but Yao Jianguo heard the sound and laughed.

The family of four packed up again, carrying the things suitable for the elderly they bought from Nancheng, and walked to the room of the second elder in the east house.

"Yiyi and Xiaofeng are here, come to grandma quickly!" Guan Cuilan saw the two siblings and waved with a kind smile on her face.

"Grandma!" Although she had already met once at noon, she was still like a stranger to Yao Yi. She just shouted politely.

"Grandma, I miss you so much! Look at me, I want to lose weight!" Yao Feng threw himself into Guan Cuilan's arms, raised his little pink face, and said coquettishly and cutely.

"Really? Let grandma take a good look. It turns out there's nothing meat on this little face!" Guan Cuilan laughed and pinched Yao Feng's chubby face.

"Humph!" Yao Feng protested with his little mouth pouted.

Being teased by Yao Feng, the old man who was still angry with Yao Jianguo unconsciously smiled, but he was thinking that maybe Yao Jianguo was right. Children living in big cities are indeed better than themselves.

The local people are a bit smarter and smarter.

"Xiao Feng only wants grandma and not grandpa?" Yao Guinian pretended to be jealous.

"I think so. Grandpa and grandma have the same position in my heart!" Yao Feng left Guan Cuilan's arms, trotted up to him, and kissed her face that was deeply carved by time.

.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, you are preparing to wash Grandpa's face!" Yao Guinian took Yao Feng into his arms, wiped the saliva from his face, and said with a cheerful smile.

"Mom bought these clothes for you and dad. I'll try them on later to see if they fit!"

"These are Nancheng's local specialties. These are..." Seeing that Yao Guinian's attitude had softened, Yao Jianguo quickly used every opportunity to take out the things he bought for his elders.

"Although you said you made some money this year, you didn't spend it frivolously like this. Your father and I are both dead, so we just have those old clothes to wear. You..." Although Guan Cuilan said it,

Ever since I put on my new cotton-padded clothes, the smile on my lips has never gone away.

"Grandma, what you wear looks so good!" Yao Feng exaggerated, giving a thumbs up.

"This... grandma is already old, so what's so good about her?" Guan Cuilan smiled and bent down, kissing Yao Feng's little face hard.

Knowing that the elderly couple Yao Gui and their two sons had something to talk about, Li Mei and her mother-in-law took the children out to make room. After telling the children not to run around, they prepared dinner together.

"What did dad and second brother say?" Li Mei knew that Yao Jianguo came back this time to have a showdown with the old man about settling in Nancheng. She waited for the two children to fall asleep before asking in a low voice.

"Dad and second brother didn't say anything, but it is our duty to support our parents after all. Since we can't take care of them in daily life, I just want to give them more money every year!" Yao Jianguo said in a depressed mood.

"That's the reason. Actually, we can take the old man over. After all, the living conditions in Nancheng are much better than here!" Li Mei considered that as the old man gets older, his physical discomfort will also become worse.

If there is an emergency, it would be difficult to get medical treatment in time.

"The old couple refused and couldn't bear to part with the land, chickens and ducks at home!" They didn't have the ability before, but now they have the ability. Yao Jianguo also tried to persuade the two elders, but they were rejected by them.

"Then let's try to persuade them later!" Li Mei also knew that for the elderly, letting them throw the ground away when they could run and move was tantamount to fantasy, so she thought of waiting until the elderly were older.

Please take a look.

On New Year's Eve, the adults were busy making dumplings and glutinous rice balls. Yao Yi handed two washed coins to Guan Cuilan. She saw her wrapping the coins and stuffing in them, and then said with a smile: "Let's see tomorrow.

Let’s see who gets this good sign!”

"Then I will eat more tomorrow!" Zheng Huajuan answered with a smile.

"Okay, let's see..." A few people chatted and laughed, but the movements of their hands did not slow down at all. In a short while, they made three dustpans of dumplings and a dustpan of glutinous rice balls.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yao Yi was awakened by a knock on the door before dawn. She sat up from the bed and saw three or four children coming to pay New Year greetings.

The congratulations on getting rich continued from morning to night. Yao Yi silently lamented in his heart that the taste of this year is still the same as before. It is not like the later generations who work until 26 or 27 and cannot burn the glutinous rice dumplings bought in the supermarket.

The New Year's fireworks are as light as ordinary holidays.

"Sister, I want this candied haws, can you buy it for me?" Yao Feng gently tugged on Yao Yi's red cotton jacket to disrupt her thoughts.

"Where is your New Year's money?" Yao Yi remembered that Yao Feng had received a lot of New Year's money and she asked curiously.

"That money should be saved for great use!" Yao Feng whispered mysteriously.

"What's the big deal?" A candied haws of water only cost a dime. Yao Yi was not reluctant to buy it for him, but was more curious about what big deal he was talking about.

"I can't tell you now anyway!" In order not to reveal the secret in his heart, and not to let go of the candied haws, Yao Feng left Yao Yi and chased his new friends back to the village.

The elderly, who rarely have some free time during the Chinese New Year, also gathered in small groups to talk about their daily routines.

"Cuilan, these clothes are newly bought, right?" Someone familiar with Guan Cuilan said after taking a look at her brand new dark floral cotton clothes.

"Thank you for your sharp eyes, my third daughter-in-law brought this back from Nancheng!" Guan Cuilan said with a smile and touched her clothes.

"These clothes are not cheap. Last time I went to the county town, I saw something similar to this one that cost thirty or forty dollars!" Another person said after looking at the patterns on the clothes.

"This is what the children want. If they buy it, we will wear it!" Guan Cuilan once asked about the price of two pieces of clothing, but Yao Jianguo and his wife cleverly put them off. Later, she decided not to ask anyway.

The clothes have been bought and paid for, and they cannot be returned, so I might as well wear them with peace of mind.

"So it seems that the third child in your family will get rich this year?"

"Then what's the point of getting rich? It's just that we can't see each other a few times throughout the year. I want to be filial to us two old men and old ladies. By the way, I heard that your eldest son is in the county..." Guan Cuilan knows well that wealth should not be revealed.
