At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

It wasn't until New Year's Eve that the charcoal selling business stopped. Each family divided the charcoal for burning, and each of the three people received almost 50 taels of silver. This was only a short period of one month.

Mrs. An smiled so hard as she took the money she received. In Xiushan Village, three people in her family studied. How could they save so much money? It would be nice to help the three nephews pay their bills and save some money to buy stationery. The rest of the money can feed the whole family.

Old man An didn't care about the accounts, but looking at the old woman's smile, he knew that this year would be the best.

An Laoer hasn't come back yet, and the account for the brick-burning has been settled long ago. Today is New Year's Eve, so the money should be divided out.

Mr. An waved his hand and divided it!

The money had been placed with Mrs. An before, and she hid it at home, not even daring to come out.

Not all the money from selling bricks can be recovered. This is also because it has been delayed for a long time. Many families in the village are in debt. This is the first year of registration, and they all have difficulties. Old An stopped Old An who wanted to pay. .

"Let's divide it as much as we can! It's really difficult for the village this year!"

Okay, Mrs. An gave Old Man An a sideways glance and muttered, "You are the only one who knows how to be a good person."

In exchange for Old Man An's awkward and flattering smile.

Each person can get more than 100 taels for the less transferred money, and the fraction will be kept and shared together later. "Boss, go ahead and give each family a hundred taels. The rest will probably have to wait until the village's debt is paid off."

Boss An smiled cheerfully. Their family was worked by two people, "Then, mother, don't give it to me for my one hundred taels and the second brother's one hundred taels. If you keep it, we will give it to you as a dozen." of."

Mrs. An looked at her with disgust, "Silly's eldest son, their family is not divided, and the income has to be handed over to the public school. Do you still need to talk about this money?"

He took out ten taels from the basket and said, "Xiuying, come here, these are given to you by your mother. You have worked hard this year."

Even though Mrs. An is a picky person, she is a good manager. Although only the eldest son in the family is married, she can theoretically not give them pocket money, but after having several children, she, a daughter-in-law, is usually quiet, and she should be quiet. Respect must still be given.

The five little ones were sitting on the edge, watching eagerly. Mrs. An frowned slightly, "You are still little, and whatever you have to eat is bought at home. Ningbao really did his best in burning bricks and charcoal. You little ones have done a great job." Before I left, my uncle told me that I must give you some points.

But you are still young. I will give you 1 tael of silver and leave the remaining nine taels with your mother. If you want to use it, just go to your mother! "

An Ningning stared, a little unconvinced. She had the idea of ​​burning charcoal, burning wheat, and weaving bamboo products, so she divided them into ten taels! Nine taels were returned to her mother. How difficult it is to get back the money in her mother’s hands!

"Milk, give it all to me, I can keep it. I have put in a lot of effort to bake bricks and sell charcoal. But others are giving 50 taels or 100 taels, but here I only have taels! I own the house. I thought about it with my uncle! It's not fair, I protest." An Ningning said unconvinced.

The other four little ones were dumbfounded. Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao were envious and surprised. They never had more than 5 cents on them, and my sister felt that ten taels of silver were too little!

Ye Bao has no idea about money. He doesn't need to spend money on food and clothing. He also has a lot of money and can't spend it all.

Thinking of the New Year's money, he was a little sad. After his mother left, she never sent anyone to look for her. He secretly cried several times.

"Ning Bao! You are still young. You don't understand. It's hard to earn money. You spend it first, and when it's all gone, ask for it. Don't be impatient. It was just pocket money, and there is also new year's money, which has not been distributed yet. ?

Come, Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Yebao, Ningbao, ten copper coins each. Don’t think it’s a small amount of money! Two copper coins can buy one bunch of candied haws, and you can buy five of them. "

Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, along with Ning Bao's one tael of silver ingots and ten copper coins, looking at my own ten copper coins, I feel that the gap between the rich and the poor is too big. An Ningning narrowed her teeth and smiled happily.

Come on, don’t try to make money with her grandma. Wait for your uncle to come back and get more money. Money is a good thing. She loves to buy things, so how could she not have it?

She said it was strange. Every time she and her uncle went out, they would buy whatever they wanted. As long as it was not too expensive, he would not stop her. Now my uncle is not at home, and his father is poorer than him. His money has been robbed of his milk and his mother, and his pocket is cleaner than his face.

"Old man, what day did the second son say he would come back? It's New Year's Eve today, and he hasn't come back yet! Are you planning to celebrate the New Year outside?" After Mrs. An distributed the money, she remembered that there was still a son who had not returned home.

"How can this be possible? When he was studying in the past, if something happened, he would be ready to go home. He must have been delayed on the way! There are so many people, what are you worried about?" Old man An was not worried. Such a few young men must have been delayed. It's time.

"Hey, look at it, the second child is getting older, it's time to get a wife!" Mrs. An started to worry again. If she hadn't fled, she would have thought about it too! You can't drag him into an older man.

"Why are you worried again? Didn't you say before that there was no suitable partner for the second child in the village and that you had to go to the city to find one?"

"Hey, we are new here, how can any city girl like us refugees?"

"Didn't we settle down?"

"That's just when you settled down."

The five little ones sat nearby and stared at the old couple quarreling again.

It’s so difficult. If his grandma and his father sit together for more than one stick of incense, they will definitely start.

The family finished the New Year's Eve dinner laughing and noisy, and the elder An took the five children to set off firecrackers.

This new Xiushan Village has just moved here, and they set off firecrackers and fireworks in such a remote place, which is far away from other places. What they could see was the excitement of the people in the village.

During the Chinese New Year, only the children in the village are happy.

Early in the New Year morning, Anjia's five little ones, along with other dolls in the village, went door to door to pay New Year greetings.

This is a custom in the village. The generous ones will give each person one or two copper coins, and the more generous ones will each grab some peanuts and melon seeds. The little ones won't mind having less.

Each person carries a small bag and goes from the first house to the last house.

Unfortunately, Lao An's family was the first one, and each person was given a coin. Old An took the coin from Mrs. An with a smile and gave it to everyone. Originally, he wanted to grab some peanuts to send these children away, but Old Man An felt that last year, everyone in the village knew that Old An's family had made money by burning charcoal and bricks, so he couldn't be stingy and be gossiped about later.

All morning, An Ningning and others had their pockets filled with food.

Ye Bao felt that he really liked this way of greeting the New Year. A group of people were happily saying auspicious words, and they were not picky about anything they asked for. The key was that no matter how evil they were today, the adults in the family would not beat anyone up. The big kids in the village who were traveling with him specially gave Ye Baopu the idea of ​​celebrating the New Year in the village.

Lao An's house is very lively today. There are many people in the village paying New Year's greetings to Mr. and Mrs. An. Almost half of the village has been here.
