Chapter 1932 Lunar New Year 1
“God Grade Farm ()”
On the first day of the first lunar month, Xia Ruofei woke up to the faint sound of firecrackers in the distance, and the genius was bright at this time.
He didn't continue to try to portray the spirit puppet to control the core formation last night, because he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Even if he wanted to train his proficiency in portraying, he had to wait until he returned to Taoyuan Island. Next, the effect will definitely be better.
Xia Ruofei got dressed and walked out of the room.
Huzi's mother has already woken up and is preparing breakfast in the kitchen, while Lin Qiao is still sleeping in the upstairs room. She is at the time when she is sleeping too much at this age, let alone the sound of firecrackers is far away, even if the next door is beating the gong Playing drums, maybe she might not wake up either.
"Godmother, happy new year!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!" Huzi's mother said with a smile.
Then she dried her hands on the apron, took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Xia Ruofei, saying: "Ruofei, take it! This is your lucky money!"
Naturally, Xia Ruofei has already passed the age of receiving the New Year's money. In fact, he has never received the New Year's money since he joined the army. After his grandfather passed away, he has no elders alive, and naturally no one gave him the New Year's money.
Although in her twenties, she shouldn't have received the New Year's money, but Xia Ruofei didn't refuse, but took it directly, and said with a smile: "Thank you godmother!"
This is the wish of the old man, Xia Ruofei knew that no matter how much money he had, he should accept it, otherwise the old man would be unhappy.
It would be unfilial to make the old man angry on the first day of the first lunar month.
Seeing that Xia Ruofei accepted it so readily, Huzi's mother was even more happy. She smiled and said, "You're welcome! My family doesn't need to be so ignorant! Qiaoer also has a share!"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile.
Huzi's mother continued: "Ruofei, go wash up first! Breakfast will be ready soon! I'll go wake Qiaoer up!"
"Let her sleep more!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Anyway, it's okay to have a holiday now."
"It's a bad omen to sleep late on the first day of the first lunar month!" Huzi's mother said with a smile as she walked up the stairs.
Xia Ruofei smiled, turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Huzi's mother prepared a whole set of brand new toiletries for him yesterday.
After Xia Ruofei finished washing, she saw the sleepy Lin Qiao wearing that cute cow flannel pajamas, walking down the stairs listlessly.
"Brother Ruofei, Happy New Year!" Lin Qiao greeted Xia Ruofei lazily when she saw Xia Ruofei.
"Happy New Year!" Xia Ruofei replied with a smile.
Lin Qiao stretched out her hand towards Xia Ruofei, Xia Ruofei was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"New Year's money!" Lin Qiao said, "I'm still a child! Don't you want to give me New Year's money?"
A hand stretched out and beat Lin Qiao's hand down—Huzi's mother turned around from behind her, and scolded with a smile: "You girl, it's not enough for me to give you the New Year's money, how dare you ask Brother Ruofei for it?"
"I'm the youngest!" Lin Qiao said with a smile, "Isn't it right for my brother to give my sister New Year's money?"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "Qiaoer is right, it should be!"
Huzi's mother said: "Ruofei, don't spoil her! This girl is almost spoiled by you!"
"Godmother, those who celebrate the Chinese New Year just want to get a good start, so you don't have to go online like this!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Lin Qiao said with a smile: "Brother Ruofei, what I want is a kindness. If you take out the money temporarily, I won't accept it! By the way, the lucky money and red envelopes that my mother gave you are not counted. You can't take them out to borrow flowers to offer Buddha !"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Don't worry! I've already prepared, how could I forget your lucky money?"
Xia Ruofei really didn't think about the new year's money, but how could such a trivial matter be so difficult for him?
He stored a lot of cash in the spiritual map space, even a lot of US dollars. Although there are no ready-made red envelopes, there are red papers!
Therefore, Xia Ruofei used his thoughts to communicate with Xia Qing in the space,
Let him wrap a 1,000 yuan red envelope with red paper, and write a few words on the handmade red envelope with a brush in a standard thin gold font: New Year's money - exclusive to Lin Qiao.
Of course, all of this was done in the Yuan Dynasty.
Because there is thirty times the speed of time between Yuanchu Realm and the outside world, Xia Qing has plenty of time to prepare the lucky money red envelopes, and Xia Ruofei can even wait for the ink to dry completely before taking it out.
After they talked for a while, half an hour had passed in Yuanchu territory, and the cover of the red envelope that was written temporarily was completely dry.
So, after Xia Ruofei finished speaking, he put his hand into the inner pocket of his jacket.
Of course, he actually took out the red envelope from the Lingtu space.
Xia Ruofei took out the red envelope, handed it to Lin Qiao with a smile, and said, "Look, is this a temporary preparation?"
Lin Qiao looked at this unique "red envelope" and there were handwritten words on it, how could she have thought that it was actually prepared by Xia Ruofei on the spur of the moment?
Lin Qiao exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Ruofei! You really prepared lucky money for me!"
Xia Ruofei pouted angrily, and said with a smile: "Look for yourself! This is Qiaoer's exclusive red envelope, and I don't know magic. If I didn't prepare it in advance, where did I get it?"
Lin Qiao nodded again and again, and said, "Yeah! I knew that brother Ruofei treated me the best!"
Today is the first day of the first lunar month, so Huzi's mother didn't stop Lin Qiao from collecting the New Year's money, but said, "Okay, okay! Hurry up and have breakfast! I've been pestering you all day long, Brother Ruofei!"
"He's my brother!" Lin Qiao said angrily.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Yes, yes! Qiaoer is so cute, I wish you could pester me all day long!"
"Brother Ruofei, you haven't thought of going to Ludao to see me for so long..." Lin Qiao pouted.
"What are you talking about, girl? Do you think everyone is as leisurely as you? If Brother Fei is so busy every day, how can you have time to go to Ludao to see you!" Huzi's mother scolded.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "It's my fault. I'm really busy during this time. I don't come to godmother's side. I will correct it in the future!"
"Ruofei, don't listen to Qiaoer's nonsense!" Huzi's mother said quickly, "I am in good health now, and I can take care of myself. Young people still have to focus on their careers. Come and see me when you are free." All right!"
"And me!" Lin Qiao said, "Brother Ruofei, you don't have to make a special trip to Ludao, but if you are on a business trip to Ludao or nearby cities, you must remember to visit me!"
"Well! Definitely!" Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Let's go have breakfast!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Eat breakfast! Eat breakfast!" Huzi's mother said.
The breakfast on the first day of the first lunar month is the first meal of the year, and Sanshan is a vegetarian as usual.
Because apart from vegetarians, very few people can not eat meat for a long time, and the first vegetarian meal of the year symbolizes that they have been vegetarian for a year, and it is also a sign of piety. It is a custom that has been passed down here for many years.
Therefore, today's breakfast is not meaty.
Meat oil can't be used, and meat and eggs can't be eaten, of course.
However, Huzi's mother's cooking skills are very good, and the vegetarian breakfast is also very delicious, and the variety is quite rich.
Vegetable-fried rice cakes, fried tofu, stir-fried bean sprouts, boiled cabbage...every dish tastes quite good.
Xia Ruofei was full of praise while eating, while Lin Qiao, who was not a vegetarian, also ate with relish.
After breakfast, Xia Ruofei helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then asked, "Godmother, how do you plan to arrange for the Spring Festival?"
"There are a few relatives from Changping's natal family, some of whom are elders. I have to go to pay New Year's greetings, so I may go back to my hometown for a few days." Huzi's mother said.
Lin Qiao pouted and said, "Mom, I don't want to go to Changping, nor do I want to visit New Year!"
Lin Qiao's reaction was not that she hates the poor and loves the rich, but that she felt a little resentful—after Lin Hu's death, during the period when Huzi's mother was seriously ill, Lin Qiao felt the cruelty of the world. In order to treat her mother's illness, she found She asked many relatives to borrow money, but these relatives who usually walk around frequently avoid her like snakes and scorpions, and no one lends a helping hand at all.
In their view, Huzi's mother was hopeless, and Lin Qiao was alone, and she hadn't graduated from high school at that time, so how could she be able to repay the debt? So once the money is borrowed, it will probably be in vain.
Now Lin Qiao and her mother are living a good life with Xia Ruofei's help, but she still has a heart for what happened back then.
It is absolutely impossible for her to pay New Year's greetings to those relatives.
Huzi's mother sighed, and said, "Qiao'er, no matter what, they are all your elders. Isn't it right to drop by and pay New Year's greetings on New Year's Eve?"
"I don't have such a heartless elder." Lin Qiao pouted and said, "Mom, stop talking, I don't want to go anywhere, I just stay at home. Also, you are not allowed to go! You forgot how they To you?"
Huzi's mother said: "Rural people, everyone is not very well-off. At the beginning, they refused to borrow money, which is considered human nature. I didn't blame them..."
"Qiaoer..." Xia Ruofei said upon seeing this, "There is a saying that if you are rich, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone. It is estimated that your relatives are not very well-off, so they chose to be alone, which is understandable."
"I don't blame them either. The money belongs to them. It's up to them whether to borrow it or not, and I don't want morality to kidnap them." Lin Qiao said, "However, let me pay them New Year's greetings. I'm sorry, I can't do that. Come on, I'm not the Virgin..."
Xia Ruofei and Huzi's mother looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
In fact, Lin Qiao has always been very sensible, and it is very rare for her to go against her mother's wishes this time.
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "Qiaoer, since you don't want to go, then don't go."
Then, he said to Huzi's mother: "Godmother, since Qiaoer said so, let him stay at home! I just want to go to Changping County, so I will take you back on the way!"
"Brother Ruofei..." Seeing that Xia Ruofei did not fully support her opinion, but instead asked Huzi's mother to return to Changping, Lin Qiao felt very uncomfortable.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Qiaoer, since the godmother has such a heart, you have to support it. If you don't go by yourself, you won't go, but if the godmother is going, don't stop her. Everyone has their own. Your own freedom!"
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "Okay! Then I don't care, Mom, you can go if you want! I'll stay and watch the house!"
Seeing that Lin Qiao had made up her mind, Hu Zi's mother could only nod helplessly.
Xia Ruofei stood up and said, "Godmother, let's go! Just take my car!"
Xia Ruofei came yesterday in a Cavalier XV off-road vehicle, and the car was parked in the public parking space of the community.
He went downstairs with Huzi's mother and got into the Cavalier XV off-road vehicle.
The car drove towards Changping County.
In fact, Xia Ruofei didn't plan to go to Changping at first, but for the sake of Huzi's mother, he made up a temporary reason.
The farm of Taoyuan Company is in Changping, and the pharmaceutical factory has also opened a branch factory in Changping. As the chairman, Xia Ruofei went to Changping to inspect and guide, which is also normal, so Huzi's mother did not doubt Xia Ruofei's words.
The car drove smoothly on the expressway around the city, and then turned to the airport expressway - Sanshan's airport was built by the sea in Changping County.
Xia Ruofei sent Huzi's mother to the village entrance of her natal family.
After the car was parked, Xia Ruofei jumped out of the car first, trotted to the other side to open the car door, and helped Huzi's mother down - the chassis of the Cavalier XV was very high, and it was not particularly convenient for older people to get on and off.
