Early the next morning, Jiang Wan was pulled up by San Lang: "Come on, let's go celebrate the New Year. You can get some lucky money!"

As soon as Jiang Wan heard about the new year's money, she got up immediately.

She doesn't like money, but she quite likes things like New Year's money.

Chen Yuezhi brought her a new red dress with white rabbit fur trim for her to put on. The fabric was given by Mrs. Cheng, and it was very valuable at first glance.

Jiang Wan put on a red skirt, combed her hair with two small hairpins, and tied two red hair ribbons, making her look like a lucky doll in a New Year painting.

Chen Yuezhi liked her so much that she hugged her and kissed her.

Jiang Wan broke free from her mother's "devil's claws", went out, called Cheng Sinian, and ran out with Sanlang.

Outside the door, a group of children were waiting for her. When they saw her coming out, they exclaimed loudly: "Wow! Your clothes look really nice tonight!"

Jiang Wan also felt that her clothes were very beautiful. She had never worn such bright colors before. She felt like a small flame walking in a white world.

She likes this publicity.

The other children were envious. Even if the children of farmers' families managed to get new clothes, most of them were dark and stain-resistant, and the materials were all rough and wear-resistant. How could they afford silk materials?

So several little girls came over and touched her clothes carefully, "Wow, it's so slippery!"

Jiang Wan wasn't stingy either, and she allowed them to touch her as she pleased.

However, Saburo was a little unhappy and stepped forward to push the little girls aside: "Okay, let's go and say New Year greetings."

When everyone moved forward, Sanlang struggled to pick up Jiang Wan and whispered: "Don't let them touch your clothes, or they will touch your clothes again."

His little sister's clothes are so beautiful, so she can't be touched by others.

Thinking about clothes that should not be touched by others, he worriedly explained: "If a boy touches you, beat him directly until he cries for father and mother. Remember?"

Jiang Wan looked at his serious look and nodded in agreement while holding back a smile.

A group of children lined up, first went to the old village chief's house, surrounded him and said auspicious words, which made the old village chief laugh from ear to ear. He quickly took out the copper coins he had prepared and gave two to each person.

.

The child took the lucky money, thanked him happily, and went to the next house.

Not every family can be as generous as the old village chief. Nowadays, every family is having a hard time, and even a penny may be used as life-saving money. Therefore, most families do not give their children any new year's money, and they just try to find some small snacks.

Sent them away.

Instead, Mrs. Liu gave everyone a penny.

Jiang Wan and Erlang each received one tael of silver.

The two of them looked at the money and were a little afraid to accept it, but Mrs. Liu just stuffed the money into their pockets and said, "Third Aunt is buying you some candies, please keep them and don't drop them."

After leaving the courtyard where Mrs. Liu lives, Sanlang happily made arrangements: "When we get to Jiangnan, I will take you to buy delicious food."

Jiang Wan poured cold water on him: "Why do you think she gave us so much money?"

Sanlang Houerjing: "Of course I want to please our father and mother. That family offended our father and mother so much that the third aunt sneaked away with her two children to follow us. Without the help of my father and mother, the road behind

It’s not easy to leave.”

Jiang Wan spread her hands and said, "So, do you think we can spend this money as we please?"

Sanlang was immediately discouraged and handed the money to Jiang Wan: "You can give it to mother."

After returning home, Jiang Wan handed the money to Chen Yuezhi.

Chen Yuezhi collected the money and planned to return it later with the help of Liu's two children.

"Your third aunt is not a bad person at all. From now on, she just needs to be a normal neighbor."

A very important reason why Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi were willing to keep the Liu family was that the Liu family had not done anything bad to them.

Mrs. Liu married into the Jiang family for six or seven years and has been living in the town. Jiang Laosan is equivalent to a semi-married-in-law status. Throughout the year, Mrs. Liu only returns to the small mountain village during the Chinese New Year to visit Mr. Jiang and his wife, as well as Jiang Pan’s family.

There is no contact, let alone good or bad.

When Jiang Laosan was injured before, Mrs. Liu's attitude was not very good at first, but to be honest, she didn't say anything harsh or do anything excessive, so Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi didn't make things difficult for her.

What's more, it's not easy for a woman to bring two children with her in this troubled world, and they can't do anything to add insult to injury.

Jiang Wan had no feelings for Mrs. Liu. She didn't listen to what the adults said, so she quickly forgot about it.

After the Chinese New Year, the temperature began to warm up, and the snow that had been frozen for two months began to show signs of melting.

The small mountain villages also began to prepare for starting again.

However, it would take some time for such a thick snow to melt, so the villagers thought of ways to go hunting in the mountains before setting off.

Jiang Pan also took Dalang and Erlang into the mountain.

Jiang Wan also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Pan, "Just stay at home, the snow is melting in the mountains, and your clothes will get soaked after a while after entering the mountains. Besides, you always ask the old gods for help, your brother and the others

I can’t learn any skills.”

Jiang Pan knew quite well that his family had received a lot of care from the old god along the way, and their life was indeed very nourishing. But there was no way to continue like this. After all, no one knew when the old god would leave, and their family would not learn how to do it.

The ability to settle down and live a life, what should I do in the future?

Jiang Wan had never considered this issue before. After all, she could always protect her family, but since Jiang Pan wanted to train his two brothers, she had no reason to stop him.

So he cooperated and did not follow.

Unexpectedly, at noon, instead of bringing back the prey, her father and two brothers brought back a girl covered in blood.

Erlang rushed into the yard with the girl on his back and shouted into the room: "Mother, mother, come out quickly!"

The people in the house ran out when they heard the noise and were shocked when they saw the situation clearly: "God, who is this? Why is there so much blood?"

"Mom, help her take a look. She was scratched by a blind bear."

"What?!"

Chen Yuezhi was frightened and rushed forward to help, "Quickly, get the person to the bed in the room!"

People in the village heard the commotion and rushed over to watch the fun.

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly stopped everyone outside the door, "The injured is a girl. Everyone, please stop. I will see the situation later and come out to tell you."

Everyone knew that Mrs. Cheng was an official's wife, so they didn't dare to question her words at all, and they all waited outside.

"Have you seen clearly who the injured girl is?"

"I see clearly, Qiaoxiu, the daughter of the Zhang Gui family. After breakfast, I saw her going to the mountain. She said she wanted to visit the mountains. Why is she so injured?"

"I just heard that the blind bear was scratched."

"Is there a blind bear in this mountain?"

While everyone was talking, Erlang asked Mrs. Cheng to push him out.

Erlang was covered in blood and looked helpless.

"Erlang, what's going on? Why did Qiaoxiu let the blind bear scratch him?"

Erlang sat down under the eaves without saying a word, his mind constantly replaying the dangerous scene before.
