Rebirth 90s: Sweetheart Cub

"Eggy, why does Uncle Tang return to the city at this time?"

The little baby was squatting under the eaves of the main room, eating the candy ring, while asking vaguely, with puzzled eyes.

Although she is young, she also knows that there is no work in the city on New Year's Day.

Why is Tang Shu leaving in such a hurry? Doesn't he feel lonely when he goes back to the city alone?

It's still lively at her house, anyway, she will definitely not leave home during the Chinese New Year.

Eggy said lazily, "My lord's affairs are very complicated. You are still young, so don't worry about those."

"I don't care, I just ask. When my uncle left, his back was a bit pitiful, as if he was being bullied."

Eggy rolled her eyes in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Pitiful? Being bullied? This adjective doesn't match Yanqin at all.

For a man like Yanqin, although he looks gentle on the surface, he is ruthless in his heart.

"Xiao'er, are you going to stay at home all day today?"

"Today is the first day of the new year, you can't drop by."

Qiqi was a little bit sad, of course she didn't want to stay at home all day and couldn't go anywhere.

But this is a custom, you have to abide by it.

While Wa'er was sighing, she suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums, boom, boom, boom, boom, rhythm.

The sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, accompanied by a burst of noise.

Zhang Xifeng quickly walked out from the main room and stretched his neck to look out, said happily, "Hey, it's the sound of gongs and drums, there are lion dancers coming to our village to pay New Year's greetings!"

Qiqi's eyes lit up, and she stood up abruptly, "Grandma, is there someone performing a lion dance outside?"

Zhang Xifeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, the lion dance! It has been many years since anyone in our village has come to the lion dance. In the past, every family in our village was poor, and the lion dance could not get much red envelopes for New Year greetings, so people were not willing to come. This year The situation in the village has really improved, and all kinds of happy events are coming!"

The old woman slapped her thigh as she spoke, and hurried back into the house.

"Oh, the lion dancers will come to our house later, I have to prepare the red envelope first, the lion is asking for a lottery, and you will have good luck if you give the red envelope!"

"Mother-in-law, Qiqi has a red envelope, Qiqi will give it to her!" Her red envelope is much older!

"You have to grab the red envelopes from your mother-in-law? That's not acceptable. Only the elders can give out red envelopes. This is a custom."

The lion dance team arrived as soon as they said they were beating gongs and drums.

Behind the "big lion" in colorful clothes, there was a large group of mighty teams, all adults and children from the village, following along to join in the fun.

Because of the custom of not visiting the house on the first day of the new year, adults and children did not come into the yard, but gathered around the door to watch, laughing and making noise.

Lion dancers step on the rhythm of gongs and drums, while dancing lion steps, while prostrating.

The big, big lion's head arched straight up to Qiqi, and behind the eyes with big fists, the face of the lion dancer hidden inside could still be seen.

Qiqi was both happy and surprised.

When the mother-in-law handed out the red envelopes to win the lottery, the big lion bowed and thanked and left to go to the next house. Qiqi couldn't hold back, and ran out of the yard to meet with her friends, chasing the lion.

Huazi and Goudan also put on red festive cotton padded clothes today.

A group of bright red children gathered together, looking festive.

Because of the arrival of the lion team, the children are very happy.

"It's the first time I've seen a lion dance come to our village since I was born. It's so fun!" Goudan said excitedly.

Hua Zi, "That's because our village is doing better this year. Many places outside know the name of our Taoxi Village. Our village has begun to become famous. I heard from my grandparents that when the village was poor, no lion dancers came. Happy New Year, they haven't seen this kind of battle in more than ten years."

Xi Ya also chirped and said, "Of course I won't go to the lion dance in poor places, because they want to ask for red envelopes to make money during New Year's greetings. It's useless to go to places where there is no money."

Qi Qi clenched her fists, full of confidence, "In the future, there will definitely be people in our village who will come to dance the lion every year! Let's—"

Dandan's exasperated roar suddenly came from the sea of ​​consciousness, Qiqi froze in fright, and immediately changed her words, "Xin Qiqi, that's right!"

Eggy has the heart to pump the baby's little ass.

It was only a little bit away, and the energy that was so easy to save was about to disappear again!

Fortunately, he roared in time!

Qiqizhi closed her ears, except for the roar, her ears became quiet again.

Qiqi didn't know what was going on, Qiqi didn't dare to ask.

In case of asking, it will make Eggs angry again... Wa'er shrugged her little shoulders and walked quickly with small steps.

Like a quail that sneaks away after making a mistake.

"Hey, let's go, little boy."

"..."

Do not drop by on the first day of the new year.

Visiting relatives on the second day of the new year.

On the second day of the new year, the village became lively as if the ban had been lifted.

The fenced courtyard is no exception.

Gift givers began to flock to the door early in the morning.

Wang Jianzhong was in the first place, when Qi Qi got up, she saw someone sitting in her main room warming up with a big smile on her face.

He also gave her a small red envelope.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Qiqi stayed in the stove and ate breakfast while adding fire to the stove to boil hot water, accompanied by her busy mother-in-law.

"Grandma, are we going to visit relatives today? Qiqi can accompany you!"

Zhang Xifeng was chopping firewood, he was taken aback when he heard this, and after a while, he forced a smile to cover up, "No, my mother-in-law's family doesn't have any relatives anymore."

"Where are mother-in-law's parents?" Wa'er asked curiously, tilting her head.

"It's gone."

"Doesn't the mother-in-law have any brothers or sisters?"

The old woman was stunned again, and it took a while before she came back to her senses, and answered the little baby, "Yes...but I haven't seen them for many years, so I won't bother them at home."

The doubts in Qiqi's eyes deepened. She had never heard her mother-in-law mention her family's affairs. It turned out that her mother-in-law had brothers and sisters, so why didn't she go to see her relatives today?

Seeing her mother-in-law's dazed expression, Qiqi pursed her lips, and didn't ask the bottom line.

I don't know if anyone will come to visit my mother-in-law today. If her relatives come, Qiqi will definitely entertain her mother-in-law.

When her mother came to fetch hot water to wash her face, Qiqi whispered to her about her mother-in-law and relatives.

Song Yueliang patted her daughter's head, "Turn around, mom will ask her mother-in-law. If there are any close relatives, mom will send you a gift. If not, then don't mention this matter again. Maybe this is a sad thing for mother-in-law. , If you mention it, she will be unhappy."

Qiqi nodded obediently, and said seriously, "Got it, mom, Qiqi can save it."

Back in the main room, Wang Jianzhong hadn't left yet, and there were more and more strangers sitting around the brazier warming up the fire, all of whom Qiqi didn't know.

Seeing her come in, Wang Jianzhong waved his hands and said with a smile, "Qiqi, when will your uncle wake up? Can you call him?"

"My uncle stays up in bed every day, and he will definitely stay up until nine o'clock today."

The corner of Wang Jianzhong's mouth twitched.

He didn't get up until nine o'clock in the daytime. If this was his child, he would have whipped him with a stick.
