Chapter 166 New Year’s Money
When Zhou Haoran and his mistress came back, everyone continued the New Year's Eve dinner lively.
Shen Shiqi and Shen August were wearing newly bought lantern-covered coats, sitting in child seats, carrying chicken drumsticks bigger than their faces in their hands, and their faces were shiny from chewing them.
Although we often eat meat at home, it is not like today where everything is filled with meat.
And no matter how much meat the little kid eats, his mouth is always hungry for meat.
Zhang Chunnuan didn't tolerate them, so she let Father Shen and Zhou Haoran drink, and put two more shrimps, three pieces of meat and more than half a bowl of vegetables into the wooden bowls in front of the two boys.
Shen August looked at the carrots in the bowl and pursed his lips, wanting to say something but not daring to say it.
Brother Sanzi said that during the Chinese New Year, you must listen to adults and be a good child.
If you are disobedient and are scolded by adults, you will be scolded throughout the year. The bad boy will also be eaten by a monster called Nian Beast.
She and her brother don't know why they were scolded during the Chinese New Year and will be scolded in the future.
Because her brother and she didn't seem to be scolded at the last New Year's Eve dinner, but they were still scolded by their mother.
Oh, what a worry!
Zhang Chunnuan noticed that her little daughter looked very troubled while holding a big chicken drumstick, and found it a bit funny.
Even a small person can have troubles!
She moved her eyes slightly and saw the carrots she was scooping out with a spoon in the wooden bowl, and she understood.
It’s time to clean up again!
"Ahem -" Zhang Chunnuan cleared his throat, attracted the attention of everyone at the table, and announced in a loud voice: "Every good kid who obeys tonight will get lucky money."
Shen August tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Mom, what is the New Year's money?"
Forehead……
Zhang Chunnuan choked, how could she forget that these two little ones have no idea about money yet!
Fortunately, the mistress spoke up at the right time to help the two misunderstandings: "New Year's money is also money. With money, you can buy a lot of delicious food!"
Shen Qiqi raised his little hand and asked anxiously: "Brother, can you also buy your schoolbag with money?"
He envied his brother and sister's schoolbags the most. They looked so majestic when they were carried on their backs!
People in the village are very, very envious of his brother and sister!
The mistress nodded affirmatively: "As long as you have money, you can buy anything!"
As soon as these words came out, the two little kids, who had no concept of money before, looked at Zhang Chunnuan, their big eyes blinked, and they started to act cute.
Zhang Chunnuan looked at the two small bowls and said: "You finish the food in the bowl first. Also, money is not everything. Money cannot buy many things..."
Seeing the confused expressions of the two little ones, she stopped talking.
Anyway, they don’t understand it now.
Because they had the New Year's money hanging in front of them, Shen Qiyi and Shen August enjoyed eating vegetables they didn't like...at least that's what it looked like.
Just after the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Haoran was taking the roasted leg of lamb off the charcoal basin and cutting the meat with a knife, while Zhang Chunnuan looked on.
Brother and sister Shen Shiqi came to her hand in hand, blinking their big watery eyes and looking at her expectantly.
Zhang Chunnuan deliberately ignored the two of them and continued to watch Zhou Haoran pick the mutton neatly and neatly.
"Mom~"
"Mom~"
Two childish coquettish sounds sounded, followed by a sudden weight falling on Zhang Chunnuan's thigh.
"What do you two look like? Didn't I tell you that no older child would hug his mother's thigh like this? Are you disobedient?"
The two children did not let go of their hands immediately like before, but hugged her thighs and said:
"Mom, you said that obedient children will get lucky money!"
"Money money~"
When they heard about the New Year's money, the mistress and Wang Xinyu, who were clearing away the dishes over there, also looked over.
Father Shen was laughing from the side.
Well, it seems that the New Year's money issue is unsolvable.
Zhang Chunnuan looked down at the two children and raised his legs: "If you don't let go, how can I get the lucky money for you two?"
The two ghosts immediately let go of their hands and stood obediently, with their little hands behind their backs. They looked so round and cute.
Zhang Chunnuan smiled and touched the heads of the two children and walked towards the main room.
Watching her leave, Shen Shiqi and Shen August came together and began to discuss in a murmur.
"Brother, how much New Year's money do you think our mother will give us?"
"One hundred dollars!"
Four-year-old Shen Shiqi can only count up to 100. In his small world, one hundred yuan is the most money.
"Brother, more than a hundred, or more than eighty?"
Shen August can count to 80. Usually when they quarrel, they always argue about whether it is a hundred or eighty, and this time is no exception.
Zhou Haoran, who was shaving his mutton, burst out laughing when he heard this. These two little guys didn't have a clear concept of money, but they just thought about getting a huge sum of money. They are really small money fans!
After a while, Zhang Chunnuan came over with four small red bags in her hand.
I bought these small pouches when I saw them in the countryside. I couldn't find the red envelopes just now, so I had to use them.
There were four small red cloth bags in his hand, two were light and seemed to contain nothing, and the other two were heavy.
She walked up to the two children, and with a thought in mind, she spread her hands and said, "One for each of you. You two are younger, pick first, and give the rest to your older brothers and sisters."
Shen Qiqi and Shen August got together again to discuss.
After hearing the content of their discussion, Zhang Chunnuan's smile deepened and deepened.
"Okay? If you don't want to choose first, I will let my brothers and sisters choose first."
"Okay, okay!"
The two brothers Shen Shiqi separated, pointed at the bulging little cloth bag and said, "Mom, I want this!"
"Okay!" Zhang Chunnuan handed the small cloth bag to the two children. As she moved, a jingling sound came from the cloth bag.
Later, Zhang Chunnuan gave the remaining two to the mistress and Wang Xinyu, and received auspicious words from the two and a half-year-old children.
Seeing that she had given her the New Year's money, Father Shen also took out four red envelopes folded from red paper from his cotton-padded coat pocket. The top two were given to Shen Qi's brother and sister respectively, and the remaining two were given to his mistress and Wang Xinyu.
Just when the mistress and Wang Xinyu collected the red envelopes and were about to continue washing the dishes, Zhou Haoran's voice suddenly sounded——
