Since both of them have said that, it¡¯s hard for others to say anything. As for when the time comes, it¡¯s up to them. Anyway, they will definitely participate when the time comes.
This matter did not last long, and everyone just started chatting again.
After eating the dumplings and tidying up, the next step is to greet the New Year.
Everyone is dressed neatly and neatly, with a smile on their face and full of happiness.
There are a lot of people in Jiang Tian¡¯s house, and most of them don¡¯t know other villagers. Old men like them stay at home while others come to visit them to pay New Year greetings.
But these old men don¡¯t want to stay at home and want to participate in the rural New Year greetings.
Before going out, grandpa came out of the house with a thick stack of red envelopes in his hand.
"Give you lucky money!"
Dong Shihao shook his head repeatedly, "We don't want it. These are adults, not children. How can we ask for red envelopes?"
Song Guoqiang also hid behind him, "I haven't asked for red envelopes since I went to school. Now that I have started working, I shouldn't ask for them."
Xu Ze and Agui are the youngest people here, and they are also hiding behind the others.
Grandpa said with a smile: "What are you adults and not adults? In front of us, you are all children."
As he said that, he just walked over, took the red envelope and stuffed it into their pockets. It felt like you would be angry if you didn't accept the red envelope.
¡°The red envelope is for celebration and good luck, and it¡¯s not about the amount of money, so there¡¯s no way to push the good luck out, right?¡±
"Those of us who are elderly, I will give you the New Year's money. Otherwise, we would need to prepare hundreds of red envelopes just to prepare them."
Grandpa's words also fully considered the face of other old men. After all, giving out red envelopes during the New Year has been a tradition since ancient times. When the New Year comes, the elders will give red envelopes to the younger ones, just to make things smooth. But, he didn't expect these old people. The buddies actually came together in a group.
He gives red envelopes, and if they don¡¯t give them, it won¡¯t look good. But if they give them, then grandpa himself won¡¯t feel good about it. After all, they are also here as guests, so there is no reason to let the guests take money.
It simply means that everyone is represented directly. He also told a few old buddies in advance about this last night.
Grandpa¡¯s actions and words also made Dong Shihao and the others a little embarrassed.
They didn¡¯t want any red envelopes at first, but soon they all had one in their hands.
"That's right!" Grandpa smiled.
Mr. Feng said: "From now on, please remember that no matter how old you are, in front of us, you are just a child. Just accept the red envelope and don't be so nagging."
"Okay, let's go for a walk. I have never returned to the countryside since I lived in the city. New Year's greetings in the city are quite monotonous. I sit at home and wait for my children to come over to pay New Year's greetings. In fact, I also want to I want to go out for a walk, but as soon as I go out, I can't see many people on the road." Mr. Dong said, his tone full of nostalgia.
Not only him, but also several other old men have this idea. People like them who came from that era attach more importance to some traditions. When they were young, people of twenty or thirty would go out during the Chinese New Year, which was very lively. .
Especially when people with this surname come out to pay New Year greetings and walk on the road, it can be clearly seen how prosperous your family is. If there are more people, it means that there are more descendants. If there are fewer people, it means that your family is mixed. Not too good.
Of course, this kind of comparison is just talked about in secret, and will not be said openly. If someone who is celebrating the New Year says why there are so few people in your family, to the other party, it is cursing them to cut off their descendants. Then It's not as simple as fighting anymore.
A group of them came out in great force, and happened to encounter Xue Chengdong's family walking towards them.
"Happy New Year!"
"happy New Year!"
Xue Chengdong and his parents greeted him warmly.
"happy New Year!"
Father Xue took out a bunch of red envelopes and walked towards Jiang Tian and the others.
¡°If you¡¯re celebrating the Chinese New Year, of course you have to give out red envelopes.¡±
Jiang Tian quickly said: "Uncle, we can't accept your red envelope. We are past the age of receiving red envelopes and are no longer children. No, no, no."
They all stepped back one after another. Father Xue ran over and caught Xu Ze and Agui who were running slowly., forcibly stuffing red envelopes into their pockets.
"Hurry up and come here!" Dad Xue pretended to be angry, "You are all children. In my place, as long as you are not married, you are a child, and you can receive red envelopes. Unless you find me a partner now, then I won¡¯t give it to you, otherwise I have to take it.¡±
Jiang Tian: ""
Fengling: ""
Dong Shihao, Song Guoqiang, Le Zhengyuan Yue: ""
Both Agui and Xu Ze didn¡¯t know what to say.
Jiang Tian was helpless, "Uncle, you"
"This is the truth." Dad Xue stuffed the red envelopes into their pockets. Only after everyone had a red envelope did he feel satisfied.
¡°I don¡¯t want it, I really don¡¯t want it!¡±
Father Xue had just finished handing out red envelopes when he saw Xue Chengdong struggling over there. He was being dragged by his grandfather, who was still holding a red envelope in his hand to give to him.
"Uncle, don't give him red envelopes, he's already so old." Dad Xue said.
Xue¡¯s mother also said, ¡°He is not suitable for asking for red envelopes at this age!¡±
Grandpa said: "You just said that you are still a child before you get married. Why don't I give you a red envelope? Hurry up and accept it."
After saying that, he forcibly gave the red envelope to Xue Chengdong.
Father Xue glared at Xue Chengdong, "Look, if you don't find a partner quickly, we are still waiting to have a grandson."
Xue Chengdong felt aggrieved. He looked at Jiang Tian, ??who shrugged his shoulders and said that he had nothing to do.
"Then let's continue to pay New Year greetings!" Xue's father and Xue's mother said.
The group of them walked forward again. At this time, the villagers in the village also came out to pay New Year's greetings after breakfast.
??Everyone is wearing new clothes, with smiles on their faces, and they can¡¯t close their mouths from ear to ear. The entire Taoshan Village is overflowing with a sea of ??happiness.
The voice of wishing you a happy New Year has never stopped, it keeps saying it.
However, since Taoshan Village has indeed become increasingly poor over the years, most people have left the village and gone to other places. This has resulted in people with one surname unable to gather dozens of people like before. There are two or three households, three or four households, and the few are just one household.
However, it can be expected that as Taoshan Village develops better and better, more people who have left their hometowns will return home. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
