The new year's Eve, children see others have, they do not, go home to be scolded, of course, can not stand, cry more and more.

Not long after, there was a deafening sound of abuse from the old Zhang family.

The neighbors did not dare to persuade them. They just shook their heads and sighed.

"Alas! "Do evil."

"It's a sin for the grown-up to make the children cry so miserably."

Someone snorted, "isn't it the adult's crime? Look at the two old ones and the two big ones. What do they usually do? They are not satisfied with such good children and grandchildren over there. They make trouble every once in a while. Now they have nothing to do with each other, and they don't regret whether they are the same or not. "

"Yes. How filial they used to be, and now they are Alas... "

People outside are talking, but people in the courtyard don't know.

Xiao saw the child was happy, quickly went up to protect the child, "mother, don't fight, don't fight. This big new year's day, hurt the child, we still have to take money to cure, this omen is not good. Mother, if you have fire in your heart, you can beat me. I'm an adult. I'm thick skinned, and I'm tough. "

On hearing this, old lady Zhang was even more furious, "hit you, right?"

“……” Xiao touched old lady Zhang's cannibal eyes and couldn't help shrinking her neck, "I Well, hit me. " Hit in the body, pain in the heart. It's better to hit her than to listen to the children cry.

"Good!" Old lady Zhang copied the broom and hit Xiao's body hard. "You're a bereaved star. My son married you. It's not a few days before I'm happy. I'll kill you today... "

"Don't hit my mother."

"Milk, don't hit my mother."

"Don't fight!"

Lao Zhang's house was more noisy and chaotic. The old man in the room couldn't listen any more. He came out and yelled, "can you stop for a while? Chinese New Year is coming. What do you eat, drink and wear today? Are you all set? Is this a deliberate joke when the quarrel is like this? "

Xiao put his arms around the child to wipe his tears.

Old lady Zhang threw the broom to the ground and sat down dejectedly. "This is what happened at home. What year will it be?"

Zhang Laosan has cheated them out of their savings. They have spent a lot in recent months. Now they have only one or two silver left.

Mrs. Zhang is in charge of her family and knows how tight she is.

Suddenly, she suddenly looked up at old man Zhang with a light of hope in her eyes, "old man, do you think Dacheng will come to invite us to the new year's Eve dinner? If he comes to invite us, we can refuse twice this time, and follow him the third time, OK? "

Old man Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect that she had such an idea.

In the past, when Zhang Dacheng had something good to eat, he would come to invite them, but they didn't give face and made it worse.

Later, after Zhang Laosan's trouble, Zhang Dacheng never asked them to have dinner in the past. Even the last pig killing banquet, also did not invite, let Zhang Liding sent a big pot of vegetables.

This time

Old man Zhang has no bottom in his heart.

He sighed and thought, I'm afraid I won't come to invite you!

However, today is the new year's Eve dinner, and it is possible that it will come.

Old man Zhang moved his eyes and looked at Xiao and the children with tears and snot on their faces, "old three, you go to cook. If you don't buy meat at home, just steam an egg soup, scramble an egg or something, and we'll add vegetables to the children. "

Xiao nodded, wiped his tears and hurried to work.

Old lady Zhang was not happy. "Old man, it's not easy for me to save some eggs. How can you do that?"

"Stop it! No matter how hard it is to celebrate the Chinese new year, you have to pass it, don't you? " Old man Zhang pulled her up and looked up and down. "You go back to the house and clean yourself up. Boss, if you really come here, we can't dress like this, can we?"

"Well, I'm going."

As a result, they stayed at home until Shaw cooked the meal, but no one came to invite them. Xiao's little son went there and ran around and came back, "yenai, the eldest uncle is already eating. I smell delicious. It's full of meat. Later, the loser Zhang Qian came out. When she saw me, she said that her family ate roast chicken, six kinds of dumplings, eight treasure duck, boiled fish fillets, drunk shrimp, mutton soup, and... "

As the kids read on one dish after another, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang's face became more and more heavy, and they kept swallowing.

……

Zhangjia is very busy. There were five members in the family, four of Gu Qian's servants and just ten of Yuan Fu Zi.

New year's Eve dinner, people who are familiar with each other, do not divide the banquet between men and women. Ten people sat around the big round table and ate the new year's Eve dinner.

Gu Qian has always been very easygoing in Zhangjia, without any airs. For the first time, Shi Song and his wife shared a table. At first, they couldn't let go. After a few drinks, they relaxed.

Here's to me, guys. Here's to you.

The atmosphere was excellent.

After dinner, put away the food on the table, make tea, serve dried fruits, preserves, melon seeds and fruits. At dinner, Gu Qian said that he would watch the new year's Eve together. After midnight, their master and servants would look back at the mansion.Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Dacheng are real people. When the guests mention this, they can't rush people away, so it's settled.

"Shi Song, share what you have prepared."

“……” What's ready? We all look at Shi Song.

"Yes, sir." Shi Song took out the small bag he was carrying, opened it, took out nine red bags from inside and distributed them to everyone one by one.

Of course, including himself.

Gu Qian didn't!

The purse is very heavy, with ten taels of silver in it.

Zhang Dacheng and his wife were surprised and helpless with their purse in hand. "Mr. Gu, this This How can that be good? "

"Uncle, aunt, this is the custom of our hometown. This red lotus package is called lucky money. If you accept the lucky money, the next year will be smooth and peaceful. Take it with you. Don't be surprised. "

Gu Qian explains the origin of the red purse.

It's a gift given to the family all the year round.

Gu Qian didn't prepare a gift. Everyone gave him a red purse. In fact, he also considered the mood of Zhang Jia people. He was worried about Liu's thinking. If he really wanted to prepare a gift, Liu would not accept it.

Now everyone has a share, and they are all the same, so it's better to be round.

"Take it, mom and dad."

Zhang Dacheng and his wife looked at each other and said, "well, let's take it."

Zhang Qiao also put the red purse in her arms. When she went back to the house, she also took a box and said, "Ninth master, this is the Dragon orchid incense I specially made for you."

Gu Qian reached for it and said, "you have a heart."

Zhang Qiao smiles and goes to one side to sit down.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Dacheng and his wife have different feelings. Zhang Dacheng thinks that sooner or later, Liu will see Gu Qian's sincerity, and she will agree. Liu Shi feels very uncomfortable. Gu Qian is nice. She knows that, but she can't help keeping that promise.
