Chapter 1074 Hairpin
"Don't wrap copper coins, wrap gold ingots." Jiang Xiaozhu suggested: "Let's make dumplings with a different and bolder filling this year."
"Oh, if you are greedy for money, just say it directly, don't make excuses." Uncle Qin exposed her.
However, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin agreed: "Okay, then pack it with gold ingots... The gold is precious and strong, and it will surely protect us from peace and prosperity in the coming year."
Marquis Wenchang went to Tianmang Mansion for a long time and delivered the letter for a long time, but Dongmo did not give any response.
I wonder how Ying Zilin, Xiaobai, and their team are progressing in their quest to steal the private warehouses of wealthy and powerful families in the capital and Jiangnan. What kind of trouble will they cause?
As for Liu Ge'er who lives in the town and the defense line in the mountains, I wonder what changes will happen?
In short, judging from these things, the fourth year of Wuxing was not a good year. I am afraid that the copper coins could not be protected and had to be wrapped in gold to withstand the turbulent events of the coming year.
"Mom and Dad, just indulge them. They are already rebellious enough." Uncle Qin said angrily.
Qin Xiaomi retorted, "Uncle, you are the most rebellious person in the family. We have only been corrupted by your behavior."
"You..." Uncle Qin was so angry that he was speechless. Before he could think of any words to say, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin slapped him twice and said to him, "Xiaomi is right. It's because you, as an elder, don't follow the rules that they follow suit. You, please act like an elder!"
Uncle Qin: "..."
No, Qin Xiaomi, you're not being ethical. We agreed that we were worried about Dalang not being home, things changing in the mountains, and the two elders thinking about their deceased relatives and your missing brother, which would make them sad and unable to have a good New Year. So we decided to make a ruckus together to liven things up and entertain the two elders.
You're the one who keeps the two elders happy while I take all the beatings and scoldings?
Aunt Qin was so annoyed that she called out to him again, "Hurry back to our room and get a bag of gold ingots. Remember to wash them clean and bring them over to make dumplings."
If you don’t wash it clean, my eldest niece will definitely dislike it.
"I got it. I'll go right away." Uncle Qin had no choice but to go back to the house and bring out a bag of gold ingots as big as soybeans.
Qin Xiaomi said disdainfully: "No, Second Uncle's is too small. I'm afraid my family will swallow it directly... Use mine. Mine is bigger."
That damn girl has such a vicious tongue.
However, the dead girl's gold ingot was indeed big, as big as a thumb, and it made the whole family's eyes sparkle with gold.
"Okay, let's use this one from my niece." Aunt Qin smiled, stretched out her hand, took the nine gold ingots from her box, washed them three times with hot water, and then made nine dumplings with the gold ingots.
"This year, there are nine people in our family celebrating the Lunar New Year. Each person will receive one, and I hope everyone can have one and have good luck in the new year," Grandma Qin said with a smile.
Grandma's wish must be fulfilled.
The arrangement is quite appropriate.
Wait until midnight.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of New Year drums in each village is as urgent as heavy rain, heralding the arrival of New Year's Day.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin woke up their sleeping family members and took them to worship the sky and ancestors together to welcome the New Year!
After paying their respects to the Qin family, they went to the Jiang family's shop, offered sacrifices, lit New Year lanterns, struck instruments to send off the gods, and cooked dumplings to eat.
Aunt Qin was smart and capable. During the Chinese New Year, nine people from the Qin and Jiang families each ate a dumpling with a gold ingot inside.
"Good, good, good! Everyone in our family has had good luck this year, and everything will go smoothly next year." Grandma Qin was superstitious, so she was overjoyed.
The old man was happy, and Qin Xiaomi was happy too. She did not ask Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin to take back the gold ingots, but gave them to them.
"Grandpa and grandma, this is the New Year's money I prepared for Xiao Fubao and Xiao Yunping. If they come to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow morning, you can give it to them on my behalf. I want to sleep in, so don't wake me up and don't let them wait outside the door. It's cold." After Qin Xiaomi finished giving the instructions, she went back to her room to sleep.
But early the next morning, Qin Xiaomi was still awakened by the noisy sounds at home.
"Oh, Xiao Yunping is very happy too, right? This is the first New Year's money you have received in your life." Before eating the New Year's Eve dinner yesterday, Xiao Fubao went to Qin Eryong's house and agreed to pick up Xiao Yunping early in the morning to visit several families and earn New Year's money.
Seeing that he really liked Xiao Yunping, Qin Eryong and his wife were willing to cooperate. Before dawn, Qin Eryong got up and waited for him to come to the door.
This fat boy came really early. Just as the morning hour arrived, he came to knock on the door accompanied by Aunt Xu.
After paying their respects to Qin Eryong and his wife, they took Xiao Yunping and headed straight for the Qin family's residence. The Qin family then became lively.
After Jiang Xiaozhu and Qin Xiaomai got up and Qin Jingyi joined them, the place became even more lively, and everyone wanted to tease little Yunping. Little Yunping kept babbling, and the adults and children laughed non-stop.
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
It’s terrible. It’s so difficult for her to sleep in.
There was no choice, Qin Xiaomi had to get up, wash up, change into new clothes for the New Year, and come out carrying a red bag.
Xiao Fubao and Jiang Xiaozhu's eyes sparkled as if they had seen the God of Wealth.
Qin Xiaomi felt that for a moment, the two children wanted to kneel down to her.
Xiao Fubao: "Sister Xiaomi, may you have a prosperous new year, abundant wealth, good health and great luck!"
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
This must have taken quite a long time to practice.
Xiao Fubao went to pull Qin Eryong's wife and said, "Xiao Yunping also wished Sister Xiaomi a happy new year. Sister Xiaomi, happy new year..."
Hey, this is different from what he said before.
The adults all laughed, and Qin Xiaomi also praised him, "Our little Fubao is so thoughtful."
Then he teased him: "Where are your little Lubao's New Year greetings? As a good brother, shouldn't you help your little Lubao to wish him a happy new year and earn some lucky money?"
Little Fubao was very surprised: "Yes, yes, I have memorized a lot, but is it okay?"
Little Lubao is still in his aunt's belly and hasn't been born yet.
Can unborn babies also receive New Year’s money?
Qin Xiaomi: "Of course, it's New Year, so let's have some fun and excitement."
"Xiao Lubao wishes Sister Xiaomi a happy New Year..." Xiao Fubao started talking immediately. You know what, this kid really didn't lie. He really memorized a lot of New Year greetings just to earn lucky money.
Qin Xiaomi smiled and stopped teasing him. She began to distribute purses to the children: "Well, here, a New Year's gift for each of you... yours, your little Lubao's. Just give it to your aunt when you get home."
"Yeah, thank you, Sister Xiaomi." Xiao Fubao, Qin Jingyi and other children who received her New Year's money all expressed their gratitude.
After getting permission, he opened the purse and saw the New Year's money inside, his eyes widened.
"Grandma, it's gold, it's gold. Sister Xiaomi is so generous." Little Fubao handed his New Year's money purse to Aunt Xu and was very excited.
Aunt Xu felt very embarrassed and said to Qin Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, you are too indulgent towards them."
Qin Xiaomi waved her hand. "It's Chinese New Year, so we should just have fun. And if we make money, we should spend it. It won't give birth if it stays in the box."
She has lived her third life and only cares about her own wishes. As long as she wants, she can spend money everywhere, but if she doesn't want to, no one can take a penny from her.
Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin also gave New Year's money to the little ones who came to visit them.
But unlike wishing a happy new year to Qin Xiaomi, Qin Xiaogu, Qin Xiaomai, Jiang Erlang, Jiang Xiaozhu and Qin Jingyi all knelt down and gave a big happy new year to Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin.
Xiao Gu Xiaomai is their nephew, and since Uncle Qin has no children, they have to hold a grand New Year's celebration for their uncle and aunt.
Qin Jingyi received instructions from Qin Cunquan to pay great respects to his second uncle Qin.
The Qin and Jiang families had a special relationship, so Erlang and Xiaozhu naturally presented their gifts.
Little Fubao was confused for a moment, but he quickly joined the team, knelt down, and kowtowed to Uncle Qin and his wife to wish them a happy new year.
