Chapter 358 Lantern Festival
Then he drank up the few remaining green plums in the cup in one gulp.
There is quite a sense of freedom and ease of a hero.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, grandma will live to be a thousand years old and watch our Fubao and An'an get married, have children, and then have grandchildren. Here, take the red envelope." Zhang Jinlan took out a stack of red envelopes from somewhere and handed one to her granddaughter.
Jiang Shoujia followed closely behind.
Afterwards, the other children also followed Jiang Fubao's example.
Speaking of blessings.
Except An An.
He is still young.
"We are of the same origin as fire and earth. Don't lose your New Year's money when you play later. I will keep it for you."
After a while, Sun Pingmei quietly reached out her hand to her two sons.
"I won't give it to you. You definitely won't return it to me, mom." Jiang Tongtu immediately stuffed the red envelope into his clothes and looked at his mother warily.
"Mom, my brother won't give it to you, so I'll give it to you. They say that New Year's money should be compressed. Mom won't take our New Year's money. Mom must want to put it under our pillow, right, mom?"
Jiang Tonghuo is a very clever ghost.
Although he gave it readily.
But just one sentence was enough to stop Sun Pingmei.
"Uh, yes, yes, yes, I want to put it under your pillow for you. I won't take your New Year's money. Since you don't want me to put it under your pillow, then you can put it under your pillow after dinner. Just don't lose it."
Sun Pingmei sighed and took the red envelope.
The conversation between the mother and her two children was heard by Jiang Eryong, who was drinking with his eldest brother.
He said nothing.
The New Year’s Eve dinner lasted until the early hours of the afternoon.
Even the soup was heated up three times.
Jiang Fubao and his brothers and sisters had already left the table and went to the door to pick up the unfired firecrackers.
The maids and servants were clearing the table.
The adults sat together, eating melon seeds and talking about the past and future plans.
Some families eat New Year’s Eve dinner later.
The sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time in the afternoon.
After waiting until midnight, the whole town set off firecrackers together at midnight.
The sound was loud.
There were puffs of smoke.
Jiang Fubao’s sleepiness was scared away.
"Mom, I'm a little hungry." She shook her mother's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some leftover chicken soup to make you a bowl of noodles." Zhang Yanzi stood up and was about to leave. When she reached the door, she remembered her two sons. She turned around and asked, "Where are Tongji and Tongxiang? Are you hungry? I'll make you a bowl of noodles, too."
"Hungry!" the two brothers shouted in unison.
"Wait for me, I'm hungry too. How about you?" Sun Pingmei stopped Zhang Yanzi and asked her two sons.
“We’re all hungry!”
My goodness, everyone in the room is hungry.
So, in the middle of the night, the Jiang family had another meal.
Just finished up the leftovers.
I just don’t know if this is considered dinner or midnight snack.
After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
"Wife, take it." In the right room on the first floor of the main house in the third courtyard.
Jiang Eryong handed a red paper bag to Sun Pingmei who was lying on the bed.
It's bulging and hard inside.
It should be small change.
"Husband, is this the New Year's money you gave me?" Sun Pingmei's eyes suddenly lit up.
She was about to open it to see how many were inside when she was stopped.
"Don't look at it. Put it under your pillow and look at it tomorrow."
Jiang Eryong knew that his daughter-in-law was always childish and she deliberately snatched the red envelope from his son just for fun.
So he simply gave his wife a red envelope.
Wow, Sun Pingmei was so moved that she almost hugged Jiang Eryong and cried.
"Husband, master of the family, father of my child~" a few tender calls.
It made Jiang Eryong's scalp tingle.
"What are you doing?" He stopped and was about to climb onto the bed, looking at Sun Pingmei with a wary look.
"I want to serve you well~" Sun Pingmei pinched her fingers like an orchid and imitated the famous prostitutes in the brothel.
"Cough, cough, cough, don't repay kindness with evil. Let's go to sleep! I'm so sleepy." Jiang Eryong coughed violently a few times in fright.
I wanted to sleep with my wife in my arms.
He simply slept opposite her, with his stinky feet facing Sun Pingmei.
"You!" Sun Pingmei was about to lift the quilt.
Jiang Eryong started snoring.
But no matter how you listen to it, it seems fake.
At this moment, Jiang Fubao had already fallen asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was New Year's Day.
She followed her family to her grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then went to Zhangjia Village and Jiangjia Village. After running around for a whole day, she finally visited all the relatives and friends. Of course, she had lunch and dinner at other people's homes.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Jiang Fubao, his grandmother and three sisters boarded a horse-drawn carriage to visit the Lantern Festival in Baishui Town.
The ones driving the carriage were Adong and Axi.
My uncle took his family to my aunt's parents' home.
Second uncle said he wanted to take second aunt to see a play.
Her parents are probably in the house trying to create a younger brother or sister for her.
As for my brothers, they all went to my grandfather’s house.
It was rare for godfather to come back, so godgrandfather asked them to go and listen to godfather's lectures.
Jiang Fubao finished the chestnut cake in his mouth.
He picked up another sticky sesame ball and started eating it.
A bite of pastry and a sip of hot tea.
So comfortable.
The food was a balance of sweetness and bitterness, and she didn't take a nap until her stomach was full, then she leaned back in the carriage.
At the age of five, she rarely sat on her grandmother's lap.
The carriage is windproof.
It's much more comfortable than riding in a bullock cart.
I staggered all the way, ate and slept, slept and ate, and also urinated twice.
Finally arrived at Baishui Town.
The carriage stopped at the city gate. Jiang Fubao got off the carriage and saw her Aunt Yunlan at a glance.
Without waiting for her to say hello.
The officers began to check.
The two carriages entered the city gate together and arrived at the door of a house.
"Aunt, sister Wanru, brother Changyi and brother Changmin, do you miss me~"
Jiang Fubao ran to another carriage.
Holding Yunlan's legs and acting coquettishly.
"Yes, auntie misses Fubao the most. Oh, Fubao has grown a lot taller. Auntie can hardly hold him anymore." Yun Lan felt a little tired while holding Jiang Fubao.
"Hehe, maybe I ate too much yesterday and gained weight." Jiang Fubao smiled foolishly.
Hug Yunlan's neck.
"Aunt Yun, she's like a sister~" Ruyi and Huanyu also came forward to greet her.
Then Zhang Jinlan came with her eldest granddaughter Jiang Wangyou.
"This is your Aunt Yun, that is Wanru, you are about the same age, and these two are her brothers. Madam Yun, this is my eldest granddaughter."
Zhang Jinlan introduced Jiang Wangyou.
"Hello, Aunt Yun. You are like a younger sister. I heard from Fubao that you were born in summer and I was born in spring, so I am older than you. Hello, two brothers."
"Okay, you should forget your worries. I often hear your grandmother mention you. Now that you have come to your grandparents' house, forget about the past. From now on, your surname will be Jiang. You are no longer the same as before. You will have a long and good life ahead~"
Yun Lan put Jiang Fubao down and touched Jiang Wangyou's head.
Move gently.
Ever since Zhang Jinlan learned to read.
She often wrote letters to Yunlan.
Back and forth.
Yun Lan also knew the situation of these three sisters.
"Thank you Aunt Yun for the reminder. Aunt Yun is right, I understand." Jiang Wangyou didn't say much. After she thanked him, she retreated behind her grandmother.
"Let's go in and have a rest first. The lantern festival won't be until evening. This is my house. I'll ask the servants to prepare dinner. We'll eat before going out to play." The door opened and Yun Lan invited them in.
