Sir, why is your painting style so normal?

At the New Year's Eve dinner, the smiles on the faces of the Chen family's adults and children never stopped.

Six dishes, Liuliu Dashun, soy pork head, pork stewed with vermicelli, stewed pork ribs, chicken stewed with dried potatoes, cold dishes, tofu and fish soup.

After a meal, only the fish that was deliberately not eaten was left. The New Year’s Eve dinner should not be eaten all, for the good meaning of having more than enough every year.

Mrs. Chen took out a small bundle of red strings, with two copper coins strung on each red string, and distributed lucky money to the children.

After receiving the New Year's money, the children all smiled with a row of white teeth. Although they will be sent away by their parents sooner or later, at their age, they can feel the taste of money every year. In these few days, all of them are... I feel very happy in my heart.

The three Heidan siblings held the coins in their hands and looked around.

It was getting dark, and the two red lanterns hanging at the door of every house in the village were lit.
The children couldn't stand it any longer and went back to rest early.

Zhao Miaomiao put the lucky money under her son's pillow.

As soon as midnight arrived, bursts of "cracking" firecrackers sounded in the village.

The little fat man on the kang slept like a little piggy, not affected at all. His little red mouth was slightly open and drooling.

Ruirui, who was sleeping next to him, was so noisy by the sound of firecrackers that he frowned.

Zhao Miaomiao stretched out her hand to cover his little ears, and his little brow relaxed slightly.

Chen Shouxing came in with a plate of dumplings, "Ruirui was disturbed?"

Zhao Miaomiao nodded and put a dumpling to her lips. She opened her mouth and took a bite. She blinked at the remaining half of the dumpling and smiled, "There are copper coins."

Chen Shouxing looked at the dumplings, and there was actually a copper coin in his pocket. A sly light flashed in his eyes. He turned his wrist and put half of the dumplings on the chopsticks into his mouth.

Zhao Miaomiao's eyes widened.

Chen Shouxing spit out the copper coins, picked up another dumpling, and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, eat a few more and see, the fourth sister-in-law ate three."

Zhao Miaomiao took the whole dumpling directly into her mouth.

Chen Shouxing looked at her bulging cheeks and smiled.

After eating a few more, Zhao Miaomiao paused and felt his teeth hit a hard object. He lowered his head and spit out a copper coin.

She looked at the copper coins in her hand and raised her eyebrows towards him with a smile.

Chen Shouxing also laughed.

……

On New Year's Day, every door is open.

Neighbors visit from house to house, and children in the village go everywhere to pay New Year greetings and beg for candies, peanuts and melon seeds.

Ruirui put on new clothes, had fun with people who had no shortage of snacks, and went with Jin Bao and others to pay New Year greetings.

Gradually, children came to the Chen family to pay New Year greetings.

Mrs. Chen saw that the children were related to each other, so she gave them a red envelope. If they were children of acquaintances, she would grab a handful of melon seeds and two candies. If she didn't know them well, she would grab a small handful of melon seeds.

Yujia Village,
Yu's eldest daughter-in-law took her son to visit, "Aunt Fusheng, happy New Year!" "New Year... Ouch! How did you do this during the Chinese New Year?"

Aunt Fusheng looked surprised. Looking at the slap marks on her face, she frowned and asked herself, "Did your mother-in-law hit her? How come Mrs. Yu, an old godly woman, beats someone again! How pitiful! How can you do this?" With such a mother-in-law, the eldest girl still has the support of her mother-in-law, you... ugh! As for the eldest daughter-in-law, just sit back and let Heiwa eat the melon seeds."

With that said, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds for her mother and son.

Yu's eldest daughter-in-law sat down and took the melon seeds. Thinking that this matter had been spread all over the world, she was not afraid to tell the outside world, so she nagged her, "My second uncle stole several bags of corn from home and gave them to the Chen family. I'm complaining." After saying this, my mother-in-law became... annoyed."

Aunt Fusheng picked up the teapot, gave her a bowl of tea and said, "How many more bags of corn have been stolen? It's not a problem if this continues, I'm afraid they will steal again!"

Yu's eldest daughter-in-law also thought the same, and she became worried and nodded, "No! I'm very upset now. My Hei baby is getting married at the age of fourteen. There is no empty house in the family, and the bride price is not available. Second uncle is still like this, how can Heiwa get a wife!"

Aunt Fusheng raised her head and said, "It's not okay for Yu Laoer to do this. Don't you plan to separate the family?"

Yu's eldest daughter-in-law shook her head and said, "The one in my family can't do the work, and Hei's baby is still young. How can we live in separate families?"

Aunt Fusheng said in surprise, "Yu Laoer and the Heidan siblings need to eat eighty-nine shi of grain a year, and it's corn, which is the harvest of four or five acres of land! The Yu family only has ten acres of land, so you won't lose even if you divide the family." ah!"

When Yu's eldest daughter-in-law heard her calculations, she suddenly felt bad. The second uncle had to get out. Otherwise, what would the family do with him if he stole food every day to raise a few black eggs?He was beaten but he didn’t dare to go to Chen’s house to ask for food back!
Aunt Fusheng continued, "Hei Wa is still young. We have agreed to let them farm the land for you for two or three years. If we separate the family and let them move out, won't Hei Dan have a house when they get married? There will even be a house for their children in the future." Got it!"

When the eldest daughter-in-law heard this again, she became even more determined to separate the second uncle.

Aunt Fusheng cracked melon seeds and said, "You can get four acres of land by dividing the family. Mrs. Yu must be with you. Doesn't all the money she earns from spinning belong to you? It's great to separate the family. Why don't you do it? ah?"

Yu's eldest daughter-in-law only wanted to separate the family before. The men in her family who couldn't farm had to wait for Hei's baby to grow up. Now she feels that Yu Laosan's family has been taking advantage of her family!
If the family is divided, Yu Laosan can only get three acres of land, and three acres of land cannot support five people!Whoever helped him get the food he needed in these years was naturally his family, them!
Her face instantly turned ugly. She thought that Yu Laosan was being treated like a bully by her, but it turned out that she and her second uncle's family were the biggest enemies!

The eldest daughter-in-law had no intention of visiting the house anymore, so she stood up and said, "Thank you, Aunt Fusheng, for reminding me, otherwise I would have continued to be confused and suffered a big loss!"

"I still have something to do at home, so I'm going home now. I'll come back another day to thank you!"

Aunt Fusheng sighed, waved her hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."

"Hei Wa, let's go home."

Yu's daughter-in-law took Heiwa and turned around to leave.

at night,

Chen Shouxing took out a stack of red envelopes from his arms, placed them on the dining table, and said with a smile, "Come, come, come and give New Year greetings to my uncle and aunt!"

Lao Wu actually wants to give out red envelopes!

Everyone in the Chen family had surprised expressions on their faces.

Old Mrs. Chen frowned. If it wasn't the first day of the new year that she couldn't curse, she would have looked into Lao Wu's ears and scolded him for spending money recklessly.

The children didn't have so many ideas. When they heard the red envelope, they were all happy like birds, and surrounded Chen Shouxing and his wife and said, "Uncle and auntie, happy New Year!"

Chen Shouxing took the red envelopes and gave them to each one. This year, he is not as tight as before, he has money in his pocket, and Ruirui has to go to school. He will send a New Year red envelope to the children at home to get some luck and have fun!
After giving out red envelopes to my nieces and nephews, I also gave out red envelopes to my two sons.

Ruirui twirled the red envelope and said familiarly, "Ruirui wishes my parents a happy New Year. I wish them peace, all the best, and plenty every year!"

Zhao Miaomiao touched his hair and said, "Well, mother, I wish Ruirui a safe and smooth life, always smiling, and a bright future!"
