After breakfast the next day, Huang Haonan took his younger brothers and sisters to pay New Year's greetings. Some of the old comrades in arms of the old man lived nearby. They went family by family. Huang Haonan, as the boss, introduced Ye Ziqing to others every time he arrived. Soon, people in their circle knew that ye Ziqing was the granddaughter of the Huang family.
"Grandpa Jiang, grandma Jiang and uncle Jiang... Happy new year." In addition to the younger generation who went out to pay New Year's greetings, Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang and their two sons and daughters-in-law are all at home.
"Ziqing, this is the grandparents, uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts of the Jiang family. This is our little cousin Ye Ziqing." Huang Haonan introduced them.
"Grandpa Jiang, grandma Jiang... Hello, ye Ziqing. I wish you all a happy new year." Ye Ziqing bowed down to salute them.
"What a beautiful girl. Your grandmother is happy this time. She has wanted a beautiful granddaughter for a long time. Now she has achieved what she wants." Mrs. Jiang took her hand affectionately.
"Grandma Jiang is right. With this cousin, our four brothers have fallen in price." Huang Haoning said with a smile.
"Of course, girls should be more expensive, and boys should stand the beating."
"That's what my grandmother said. We grew up wrestling. Our skin is rough and our meat is rough. My sister can't. My grandmother said that even if she rubs a little skin, she will settle with us. Grandma Jiang, do you think there will be a way for us to live in the future?" Huang Haoning said wrongfully.
"Why is there no way to live? Do you brothers still protect a sister?" Mrs. Jiang glared at him.
"Grandma Jiang, don't listen to his nonsense. Of course we can protect our sister."
"Ziqing is still the sworn sister of the smelly boy in our family? Now we are closer. We'll come home more in the future." Zhang Han is also happy to see ye Ziqing: not only beautiful, but also generous. She doesn't look like a countryman at all. No wonder she can look at those smelly boys differently.
"Hello, aunt Jiang. You are my third brother's mother and my elder. You must come and see you when you have time."
"OK, OK, we're always welcome."
They sat down at Jiang's house, chatted with several elders for a while, left and continued to pay New Year's greetings at the next house.
At the end of the day, ye Ziqing felt her face stiff with laughter. The first thing she did after she left her gloves at home was to rub her face hard.
"Ziqing, you're tired. Come on, warm your stomach with a bowl of soup first." The old lady saw her sitting on the sofa, went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of Chicken Soup for her to drink.
"Thank you, grandma. The soup is so delicious." Ye Ziqing took the bowl and drank all the soup in one breath. She still didn't adapt to the weather in the north. When she walked outside, she felt that her stomach was full of cold air. After drinking a bowl of hot soup, she was much more comfortable.
"It's colder here than Xingcheng. The wind is like a knife. Don't go out tomorrow. Have a good rest at home." The old lady was distressed to see her like that.
"Listen to grandma, take a day off tomorrow, and I'll go back to Xingcheng the day after tomorrow. I'll see grandma and grandpa again after the holiday."
"Going back the day after tomorrow? No, go back before school, or just go to Kyoto to study and live at home. Grandma can see you every day." It was said that ye Ziqing was going back to Xingcheng. The old lady's head shook like a rattle.
"Grandma, if you don't go back, you can't. There are more than ten orchids at home, which are worth a lot of money. If you go back late, I'm afraid they'll all die. The money will fly and I'll cry." Ye Ziqing looked at the old lady pitifully. "As for the transfer, it's too troublesome. Next year, I'll come to Kyoto to study at university. At that time, I can see my grandparents every week. A year and a half will soon pass."
"The orchids raised by my little sister are all top-grade. One plant is worth thousands at least and tens of thousands at most. It's a pity to die." Huang Haohai has seen those orchids before. He's not sure if Chen Yu and his wife can take care of them. If they die, ye Ziqing will cry, and he will be distressed.
"Let Ziqing go back. It's a pity if she dies. Ziqing, you have to come back to see your grandfather and grandmother on May Day." The old man paid attention to diligence and thrift all his life. When he heard his grandson say that those orchids are so valuable, how can they be raised to death? Isn't his granddaughter's hard work in vain?
"On May Day, I will come back to see Grandpa and grandma." Seeing that the old man promised her to go back, ye Ziqing nodded and promised, "I'll bring your favorite dried bamboo shoots back to Grandpa at that time."
"Oh, only bring dried bamboo shoots for your grandfather?" The old lady is jealous.
"I will also bring your favorite preserved fish to grandma. Grandma, you know, I live by the Danshui River. After school, I can fish by the river. When the water rises in spring, I can also use board fish. At that time, I will make a lot of preserved fish so that grandma can eat if she wants." Ye Ziqing leaned her head against the old lady's shoulder.
"Don't, don't go to the river to fish when the water is rising. It's too dangerous. Grandma doesn't need that food." The old lady was nervous when she thought of Ye Ziqing's shadow of a cricket by the river.
"Grandma, don't worry. I'm not going alone. I'm accompanied by my second, third and fourth brothers. They are all big men. How can I be in danger with them?" Ye Ziqing pulled the three brothers out.
"Don't bully the mountain, don't bully the water. Don't go to the river to play alone."
"I listen to grandma. If I want to go, I must find a partner." Ye Ziqing raised her fist to promise.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was the third day of junior high school. On that day, ye Ziqing took several bags of luggage to fight with Jiangbei and set foot on the southbound train.
"Ziqing, what do you have in it?" After the train started, Jiang Beizhan asked, pointing to the big bags of luggage under the berth.
"Uncle, aunt and cousins' meeting gifts and New Year gifts. Fortunately, grandparents give money, otherwise, it will be more." The leaf youth took the big bags and said that there was everything to eat, wear, drink and play.
"You have a lot of bulging in your pocket this time?" Jiang Beizhan said with a smile.
"Fortunately, who wants me to be the youngest? They can't refuse the lucky money they give, otherwise they think I earn less." Ye Ziqing said in distress. In fact, she was really happy. This is the first time she has received lucky money since her mother left. Although the amount is not many, it indicates that she has relatives.
"The third brother hasn't given you lucky money yet. Go back and give it to you." Jiang Beizhan was also happy when he saw the joy in his heart when talking about lucky money.
"When I go back, I also have a red envelope for my third brother." Gambling stone she gave Huang Haoning 100000, Jiangbei war also wanted to give 100000, and 20000 dividends per person. She didn't have a chance in Kyoto. She would give it again when they returned to Xingcheng.
"How are you these days? How are your aunts and cousins treating you?" Jiang Beizhan didn't say whether he wanted her red envelope, but asked about her at Huang's house.
