Chapter 168: Happy New Year’s Day on New Year’s Day

After finishing the roasted lamb leg, Zhou Haoran and Tan Zhengping went back.

After all, they are not a family yet, and it is not convenient to stay here to watch the New Year's Eve. Zhang Chunnuan carried two small bundles in his hands when seeing the two of them off.

After leaving the courtyard gate, they were given to two people respectively.

Tan Zhengping held the baggage in one hand and touched the fur with the other hand, asking, "What's inside?"

"New clothes." Zhang Chunnuan didn't show off, took the lamp from Xiao Sanzi's hand and handed it to Zhou Haoran, saying: "Look again when you get back, be careful on the road."

Zhou Haoran took the light and wanted to say something, but due to the presence of Tan Zhengping and Xiao Sanzi, he hesitated for a while and finally did not say anything.

After sending the two of them away, Zhang Chunnuan led his mistress to fasten the courtyard door and return to the main room.

For the sake of the children at home, she prepared enough firecrackers in advance. She looked at her mistress and asked, "Why don't you take the firecrackers down the mountain to the ancestral hall to play with?"

The mistress shook her head: "I'm not going."

"Why?"

"I just don't find it interesting."

Hearing what the mistress said, Zhang Chunnuan didn't force herself.

She has also been a child, so she naturally understands how they think at this age.

Games that you find interesting when you are a kid but can’t get enough of playing them will seem childish when you get a little older.

If you don’t want to go, then just don’t go.

In an era without Spring Festival Gala and mobile phones, staying up late on New Year's Eve was really a boring thing.

Zhang Chunnuan was stunned for a moment while looking at the burning red charcoal. After coming back to his senses, he started sending the four children at home to take a bath.

It is a custom in Shanjiao Village that on New Year's Day, people do not use knives, sweep the floor or take baths.

Although there are many people in the village who don't take a shower for ten days and a half in winter, this is not the case for the Shen family.

Except for Father Shen, she requires everyone in the family to wash every day.

Since last year, the mistress and Wang Xinyu have taken over the bathing of twins.

Therefore, Zhang Chunnuan did not increase her work as a mother because of her own regulations.

The four children went to take a bath respectively, put on their latest clothes, and returned to the main room to start watching the new year.

Until 12 o'clock, sporadic sound of firecrackers came from the bottom of the mountain. Zhang Chunnuan looked at the twins who had already started pecking at the rice, and urged Father Shen to lead the third son out of the hospital to set off firecrackers.

After setting off the firecrackers, she sent the whole family to bed.



On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family slept until they woke up naturally.

The untouched food that had been set aside in advance was heated up. After breakfast, the mistress took the twins out to pay New Year greetings.

Wang Xinyu has a cold temperament. He has spent three New Year's Days in the Shen family since he came here. He didn't go out to pay New Year's greetings. He stayed at home to help Zhang Chunnuan entertain the little children from the village who came to pay New Year's greetings.

As expected, half an hour after the mistresses had left, the chirping sounds of children could be heard outside the door of the Shen Family Courtyard.

Zhang Chunnuan listened carefully and then asked Wang Xinyu to go out and bring the person back.

There is a pond in the Shen family's courtyard, but we don't dare to let these little kids run around.

Wang Xinyu's cold face was still very intimidating to a child of several years old, and soon he brought back a group of quail-like children.

After entering the main room, the little quails greeted Father Shen in unison and wished him a happy new year. Each of them got a handful of candy cubes and peanuts, and then they all came to wish Zhang Chunnuan happy new year.

Zhang Chunnuan didn't give anyone anything to eat, and only gave one person a two-cent coin.

Her generosity shocked all the little kids. Look at me, look at you, they all can't believe it.

Two cents is really not much, but who said they are all little kids who are not qualified to take money!

What's more, many of the people who come are sisters from the same family, and each person pays two cents, which adds up to almost ten cents.

There were eight or nine-year-old children present who were already in school. Unlike the brothers and sisters Shen Shiqi, they had settled their accounts well in their minds!

The boys were stunned for a moment, but then they came to their senses and thanked Zhang Chunnuan with bright eyes.

"Okay, do you want to stay and play with Sister Xiaoyu?"

Zhang Chunnuan was almost stunned by the noise of these children who turned into sparrows, and asked loudly.

The crowd looked at Wang Xinyu, who raised his lips with a cool smile, and all shook their heads.

Just as this group of little babies were sent away, another group of little ones arrived.

When Zhang Chunnuan could no longer count how many coins he had given away, Wang Dongxue came to the door with her little girl in hand.

Seeing her, Zhang Chunnuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing the sound of her exhaling, Wang Dongxue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Sigh? Sister Chunnuan, don't you welcome us?"

Zhang Chunnuan patted her arm lightly, "What nonsense are you talking about! I was scared by the little doll in the village."

"Oh~~ Just don't welcome us." Wang Dongxue led her little girl and Zhang Chunnuan to the main room side by side.

"I heard from the little kids in the village that the Shen family's Chunnuan Nuan is so generous. Every little kid who paid New Year greetings to her got a two-cent red envelope!"

Zhang Chunnuan looked at her helplessly, should she learn to speak like a little kid?

She took out the red envelope she had prepared long ago. The red paper was taken from Father Shen, and Wang Xinyu helped paste it into a red envelope with one dollar in it.

"Hey, little girl, this is the New Year's money given to you by your aunt. You should grow up quickly!"

The little girl took the red envelope and bowed in a naive manner. She was wearing too many clothes, and her round three-headed body seemed unable to maintain balance, and she was about to fall down while bowing.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chunnuan quickly stretched out his hand to fish it out and held the little man in his arms.

Wang Dongxue on the side was also frightened. Just as he was about to go over to ask, he heard the silver bell-like laughter of his little girl.

The little baby didn't know the danger at all and thought it was some fun game.

Wang Dongxue gave her an angry look, and couldn't help but smile when she looked at Zhang Chunnuan.

This episode did not affect Wang Dongxue's stay at Shen's house until sunset in the afternoon.

Zhang Chunnuan sent mother and daughter out and said, "I still want you to have dinner at home."

"I should have gone back to eat my lunch at noon. There is no reason to eat and take it at someone else's house on New Year's Day."

Wang Dongxue looked at the oil paper bag in her arms, which contained a two-pound package of beef jerky that Zhang Chunnuan took out and the new fruit gummies produced by the processing workshop.

Zhang Chunnuan treated little Nannan differently from other children in the village.

When the little kids from the village came, they were given ordinary candies. When the little girls came, they were given milk candies, peanut candies, sesame candies, fruit soft and hard candies...

Finally, she saw that her little girl liked fruit gummies and that Wang Dongxue liked beef jerky, so she packed two kilograms of each for the mother and daughter to take home for them to eat.

"Our two families will still deal with that kind of thing!"

Zhang Chunnuan glared at her, and then said: "Okay, since you don't want to stay for dinner, then go back early, it will get dark soon.

There’s no need to come too early tomorrow. It’s the beginning of the New Year, so take as many days off as you can...

Forget it, I'll ask the mistress to take you back, otherwise I won't worry!"

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Dongxue's answer, she turned around and called the mistress who was having fun with Shen Shiqi in the yard to come out and send him back.

"What are you worried about? I'm such a big man and I'm in my own village. What else can happen?"

Wang Dongxue's unconcerned look made it clear that Zhang Chun was heating up, who was she doing this for?

"Let's go! Let's go quickly!"
