Chapter 168 New Year’s Money

Author: Yu Fan

In a blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve, and the streets of Beishi are covered in white snow. Red lanterns are hung at the door of every house, which makes the snow scene more popular in the deserted place.

When it first started snowing, Xiang Xiong moved the coal stove into Xiang Wan's house. He also kept a lot of coal at home, which kept the house warm in winter.

As soon as Xiang Wan went out in the morning, he saw the yard full of snow, and Xiang Xiong was cleaning it with a broom.

At this moment, Peng Qingliang and Yin Zhengjiang hadn't gotten up yet. Thinking that they had nothing to do today, Xiang Wan didn't wake them up.

After lunch, Xiang Xiong wanted to make side dishes at home and plan to send some to Qi Zhen's family in two days. Xiang Wan was dragged by Peng Qingliang to wander on the street, saying that he wanted to blend in with the crowd, and his bones were loose from staying at home all the time.

The two of them were walking in front, chatting and laughing. Yin Zhengjiang was a step behind the two of them, listening to their talking and laughing with a smile on his face.

Even though it is snowing all over the sky, there are still many pedestrians on the streets of Beishi, especially Central Street, which is much busier than before.

There were special offers everywhere in the department store, and Peng Qingliang and Xiang Wan managed to squeeze in.

"How can we not have new clothes during the Chinese New Year? Let's buy whatever you want today. Brother, I will buy you whatever you like," he said while pushing Xiang Wan into the clothing store. He waved his hand very grandly: "Hurry up and choose. I will go to buy it later."

Lao Yin bought two sets and asked Uncle Xiang to buy them too."

Xiang Wan was not polite now. He smiled and stepped forward to choose a coat and a sweater for himself.

After selling clothes to Xiang Wan, Peng Qingliang took the two of them to a men's clothing store and bought two sets each for Xiang Xiong and Yin Zhengjiang.

After that, he took the two of them to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a lot of snacks. They stuffed them all into Xiang Wan and walked forward while holding a bag of melon seeds and nibbling them.

"Sister, do you want to watch a movie?" Peng Qingliang asked casually as he passed by the cinema.

Xiang Wan shook his head directly: "I guess there are no tickets at this time. Everyone has bought them in advance, and there are too many people now. Maybe we should go home."

"Then go back and try to buy a TV after the Chinese New Year. I think the director has one at home. It's very magical. Have you seen it?"

"I saw it in a department store, but I just knew it was an iron box and it was quite expensive."

It seems that color TVs were already available at this time, but color TVs were very expensive, and better people bought black and white TVs.

Peng Qingliang knew that Xiang Wan had never watched TV, so he said with a proud face: "I will buy one after the new year and show it to you then. I'm sure you will like it."

If Xiang Wan hadn't traveled through time, he would probably really like it. After all, which minor would refuse TV.

"Okay, then I'll wait and watch TV."

The three of them returned home carrying a bunch of things. Xiang Xiong was still making his side dishes in the kitchen. When he learned that Peng Qingliang had bought him new clothes, he pulled him to talk about them for a long time, and finally accepted them happily.

Yin Zhengjiang really had nothing to say to the two of them, so he simply ran to the kitchen to help Xiang Xiong.

Xiang Wan and Peng Qingliang were unpacking new clothes in the living room. Peng Qingliang took the lead in unpacking the coat he bought for Xiang Wan and handed it to Xiang Wan while saying, "Put on your clothes. Today is the Chinese New Year and you have to wear new clothes."

Xiang Wan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Boss Peng. The boss is so generous. I hope you will be prosperous in the coming year."

Peng Qingliang immediately became happy when he heard this: "I love hearing what you say. After the Chinese New Year, you will start school soon."

"School will start after the fifteenth day. In two days, I will take time to go to Qi Jin to borrow books. I will preview the theoretical knowledge of the second year of high school, and then I will take the time to write down the things we agreed on before. Then you can follow what I wrote.

Just arrange the contents one by one, and when the house over there is built, I can take Grandpa Qi over and live there."

"No problem, don't worry while I do the work."

Peng Qingliang had long heard Xiang Wan mention the matter of taking over his old residence, and expressed his approval. As for writing down the plan and following it, Peng Qingliang was even more eager to implement it. He was not a person who liked to waste his brains.

It is much more convenient and the subsequent arrangements can be clearer at a glance.

Xiang Xiong cooked a lot of side dishes in the afternoon and put them away after cooling. In this weather, it is no problem to keep them for a few days.

In the evening, after dinner, the four of them sat in the living room and listened to the radio while watching the New Year.

Peng Qingliang took out the chessboard and asked Xiang Xiong to play chess. Yin Zhengjiang sat aside and read the newspaper. Xiang Wan took out the paper and pen and started writing a plan.

Just after twelve o'clock, several people fought back their sleepiness and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day was the first day of the new year. The Xiang family had a rule that they could not sleep in late on the first day of the new year. Xiang Wan was woken up by Xiang Xiong early, and Peng Qingliang and Yin Zhengjiang were not spared either.

The three of them yawned and ate breakfast. At this time, Xiang Xiong took out three red envelopes from his bag and handed them to several people.

"Ah, thank you Uncle Xiang, this is the first time I have received lucky money in so many years," Peng Qingliang kissed the red envelope excitedly.

Xiang Xiong looked amused: "I won't give it to you when you get married."

"Thank you, Dad, Dad is the best," Xiang Wan held up the New Year's money and raised it in his hand, with a bright face.

Yin Zhengjiang was stunned after receiving the red envelope. It took him a while to recover and said, "I have one too?"

Xiang Xiong smiled and nodded: "We have both, so we can't favor one over the other. But this is not lucky money for you. You have passed the New Year. This red envelope is to wish you good luck in the coming year."

Yin Zhengjiang's chest was filled with sourness at this moment, and his slightly red eyes revealed how moved he was, and then he thanked him in a hoarse voice.

Peng Qingliang suddenly took out three red envelopes from his bag and stuffed them one to each of them with a smile: "I have prepared them for everyone too. Xiao Wan, I wish you peace and prosperity. Old Yin and Uncle Xiang wish you good health and a smile."

open."

Xiang Xiong and Yin Zhengjiang both laughed and thanked them.

Yin Zhengjiang looked at Xiang Xiong very embarrassed, took out two red envelopes from his pocket, handed them to Peng Qingliang and Xiang Wan, and said: "I didn't prepare anything for you. I only thought about the two children. I will give them to you next year."

Make it up."

Xiang Xiong waved his hand nonchalantly: "I am such an old man, why do I need any red envelopes?"

"It's due."

Although Yin Zhengjiang didn't talk much at ordinary times, he always accepted the truth. As long as he was determined about something, even nine cows were not as stubborn as him. Xiang Xiong didn't refuse him, and just smiled and accepted it.

Xiang Wan smiled and kicked the three red envelopes into his pocket, and did not forget to say: "When I give out red envelopes to everyone next year, let's celebrate."

The three of them were naturally full of compliments, especially Xiang Xiong, who was waiting for his daughter to give him a red envelope.

After dinner, Peng Qingliang took out four movie tickets from his pocket like magic: "Uncle Xiang, let's go watch a movie in the afternoon. You said you have been so tired this year, so let's go watch a movie and just relax."

, and Lao Yin, you haven’t seen the movie yet, I bought four movie tickets yesterday, for the afternoon screening, we will go after lunch.”

Xiang Xiong and Yin Zhengjiang have never seen the movie, they have only heard others say how good it is and how magical it is.

Xiang Wan looked at Peng Qingliang in surprise: "When did you go out to buy it yesterday?"

Aren't you all at home all the time?
