BXBX NOVEL Chapter 129 I Went to the City for the Lantern Festival!
Lei Dabao and Lei Er Bao also kneeled down, their mouths were very sweet, "We offer our New Year greetings to Grandfather, Grandmother and Young Grandmother. "Congratulations on getting rich, bring me a red packet!"
"Alright, alright. Quickly get up." Lei Daqiang really doted on his two grandsons. He yelled again and again and took out two red packets each, giving one to each of them, "Here, take the red packets. I hope our Big Treasure and Er Bao will grow taller and smarter in this new year."
Lei Dabao opened the red packet on the spot and counted it one by one.
"Yo, has our Treasure Convention started counting?" The Madam Du looked at Big Treasure lovingly.
"Yeah, Mom, Big Treasure is smart! In just a few days, the academy will be counting from one to twenty. " Madam Du had a face full of pride.
The Madam Du nodded in satisfaction, "Good, you\'re promising!"
After Great Treasure finished counting, he ran over to Madam Du and said in a loud voice, "Mother, didn\'t you say that Grandpa and Grandmother had a lot of money and would give us silver to make new year\'s money? "I want silver taels!"
The entire room was silent.
Qin Mian almost choked on her tea and quickly put it down. Lei Tia patted his back, and pulled him up.
Qin Mian took out three red packets, and gave two to Lei Xiangren while the other one was given to Lei Xiangzhi, "This is for Xin Xin. We still need to go to the homes of the other villagers to pay our New Year respects. "
The Madam Du regained her senses and immediately erupted, roaring loudly, "Zhao! Is this how you teach my grandson? "Huh?"
Qin Mian hurriedly quickened his pace as he pulled Lei Tia and walked out of the courtyard. He couldn\'t help but shake his head as he said, "Big Treasure and Er Bao are in danger." It was impossible for a six-year-old to make up that kind of gossip. He could only learn it from his parents. With parents like Mrs Zhao and Lei Xiangren, it was extremely likely that Lei Dabao and Lei Er Bao would be lopsided.
"It\'s not that we don\'t belong to the same family." Lei Tia said indifferently.
"Too smart!" Qin Mian gave him a thumbs up.
On the snowy ground, exploding firecrackers and red scraps of paper were everywhere. They happened to bump into a few villagers who were out on New Year\'s Day. The two of them clasped their hands and said, "Happy New Year."
Lei Xiangyi carried Lei Xinxin and hurriedly walked over with Madam Qian.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, happy new year!" You\'re going back just like that? "
Madam Qian kneeled down and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law, happy new year."
"Happy New Year." Qin Mian cupped his fists and shook them, then patted Lei Xinxin\'s head: "Why are you so late?"
Lei Xiangyi said: "The child\'s mother was a bit uncomfortable early in the morning, so she took a while."
"Is Third Sister-in-Law alright?" Qin Mian asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I\'m fine." Madam Qian laughed as she shook her head.
"I gave Xin Xin\'s red packet to his fifth uncle. You can go. Be careful when you enter, it\'s not very peaceful in here. " Qin Mian hinted.
Lei Xiangyi understood and instructed Madam Qian worriedly, "You\'ll be by my side in a while."
Qin Mian and Lei Tia continued to pay New Year respects at Lei Dagang\'s place. They had just came out from Lei Dagang\'s house and sent out a few red packets, and when they saw Lei Xianglee and Lei Chuntao rushing over, they became anxious.
Qin Mian asked curiously: "Fifth Brother, little sister, why are you guys ru
ing?"
"Eldest Sister-in-Law, my little sister has gotten pregnant and is about to give birth to a child!" Lei Chuntao replied, she did not stop, "I\'ll go ask for the midwife!"
"Brother, sister-in-law, I\'ll go get a doctor!" Lei Xianglee also ran far away quickly.
and Lei Tia continued to pay New Year respects. After they had paid their respects and returned home, the two of them discussed how they would deliver the gifts when the time came.
"What should a woman give birth to?" Qin Mian had no idea.
Lei Tia shook his head, "Ask Aunt Fu?"
Qin Mian called Aunt Fu over.
Aunt Fu replied: "When returning to Young Master, we usually send some red sugar and eggs back."
Qin Mian thought for a while, then said: "Prepare 2 Jin of brown sugar, 2 Jin of eggs, and 6 Jin of red dates."
"Yes."
It was almost noon when Xiao Xi came to a
ounce the news. Madam Wei had given birth to a daughter, and Xi Sans was scheduled to be on the third day. Xiao Xi conveyed Lei Daqiang\'s meaning, asking Lei Tia, Lei Xiangren, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee to send messages to their relatives, with each of them being in charge of taking care of a few.
Lei Tia only gave Xiao Xi two words: No.
Xiao Xi did not dare to say another word and quickly left.
On the second day of the first month, Qin Mian and Lei Tia went to the Deng Family Village to greet the new year.
Ever since last spring when Deng Family came to the house to admire flowers, Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not invite anyone from Deng Family to their house to play.
Uncle Deng and Second Uncle Deng were both smart people, and were able to guess that there were some people in the family who left behind bad impressions for Qin Mian and Lei Tia. They didn\'t blame Lei Tia and Qin Mian for this. It was already difficult for Lei Tia and Qin Mian to send them fresh fruits from time to time. The two sides would be more at ease with each other the way they usually were.
Old Master Deng and Old Lady Deng enjoyed special treatment. Qin Mian and Lei Tia would always give them generous gifts during festivals. Lei Tia respected the old man and old lady from the bottom of his heart, while Qin Mian respected them because of Lei Tia.
On the third day of the first month, Lei Family Three.
Early in the morning, Qin Mian asked Aunt Fu to send two kilograms of red sugar, two kilograms of eggs and six kilograms of red dates over. It was almost noon when he and Lei Tia went to eat lunch. They found out that Lei Family Xiao Ya was called Lei Ya Qing, was named by the Madam Wei, and her nickname was Qing Qing.
Three washing ceremony is to add basin, can add copper, gold and silver, can also add gold and silver banknotes, but also can add round, red jujube, peanut chestnuts and other fruit. Even Lei Xiangren and Mrs Zhao had added a handful of copper coins, causing Lei Daqiang to be extremely dissatisfied with Qin Mian and Lei Tia\'s Three Cleansing Ceremony, and sweeping them with his piercing gaze from time to time. Madam Du was even more sarcastic.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia were secretly estranging themselves from the old residence, so naturally they wouldn\'t take their attitude to heart. They sat at the banquet and ate a few mouthfuls before finding an excuse to leave.
A few days later, rumors started to spread around the village that Lei Tia had forgotten about his parents when he became rich. Without even needing to ask around, one could tell that these rumors were spread by one of the four people, Lei Daqiang, Madam Du, Lei Xiangren and the Zhao Clan. The Madam Wei was a smart person, so the probability of it happening was not high. The ones with the highest possibility were the Madam Du and Lei Daqiang.
Lei Tia was taciturn. He was too lazy to even talk normally, so he naturally wouldn\'t argue with the villagers that were gossiping. However, his wife was not someone to be easily bullied ?? ?? Immediately gather all the servants and let them spread the news of Madam Du\'s and Lei Daqiang\'s actions back then, and also spread the news of what Madam Du had done to Madam Wei.
They were all from the same village, who didn\'t know who they were? Furthermore, there were a lot of villagers who worked at Processing Factory. Public opinion quickly leaned towards Lei Tia. In the Qingshan Village, Madam Du and Lei Daqiang, the stepmother and stepfather, once again became famous figures.
The Sun family was unluckily slightly affected. Elder Sun is the father of Sun Yu. If she did not know that Lei Xianglee and Lei Daqiang were indeed from a separate family, she would not have betrothed her own daughter to Lei Daqiang. Aunt Xiu Lan met with Lei Xianglee in secret and told him to settle the matter of the house as soon as possible. This way, he wouldn\'t need to live in the old mansion after Sun Yu marries him.
With Qin Mian\'s help, the disturbance this time was especially fierce. Madam Du and Lei Daqiang did not dare to wander around the village for a few days in succession, and even went to their relatives\' home to pay their respects to the new year\'s relative.
Seventh day of the first month. Qin Mian and Lei Tia began their journey towards the Qingtian Mansion. They will pass the Lantern Festival in Qingtian Mansion. I heard that the Spring Lantern Festival in the city was especially lively. There was nothing to eat, nothing to use, and nothing to play around without being able to think of. Lei Qinle, Lei Qinshun, Lei Qinzhong, Lei Qin Li and Lei Qinxin followed along.
Because they had to leave early, there was plenty of time. The carriage travelled at a leisurely pace. Lei Qinle and the others could only comfortably sit inside the horse carriage.
In the first month of January, there were many cars and pedestrians on the public road. The pedestrians were all wearing festive new clothes, while the cars were also hung with red cloth stripes symbolizing auspicious luck. Occasionally, there would be some exploding bamboo crumbs on the roadside. The smell was rich.
The carriage traveled for four days before arriving at Qingtian Mansion. The streets were crowded with people. It would not be easy to stay in an i
. Qin Mian gave up looking for an i
to stay and asked Lei Qinle and Lei Qin Li to find a house to rent.
On the night of the Spring Lantern Festival, the look of his Qingtian Mansion changed greatly. Under the eaves of the houses, there were colorful flags fluttering in the wind. Large red lanterns were hung high up in the sky, reaching all the way to the end of the street. From afar, they looked like two long, fiery red dragons. On both sides of the street were people selling candies, people selling noodles, people selling barbecues, people selling hot and spicy food, people selling lanterns, people guessing puzzles, people with hoops, people playing acrobatics, people selling books on the side of the street, people selling divinatory characters ?? How lively. A young master from a wealthy family, a warm and harmonious family ?? All of them had a smile on their faces as they walked.
This was the first time Qin Mian had seen an ancient night market, and he was very excited, but at the same time, he was also very excited. In his own words, "Money is earned and spent!"
He stuffed all the items he bought into Lei Tia\'s hands.
Lei Tia passed the things to the five followers, and followed closely behind to prevent them from getting separated. The crowd that came into contact with him from time to time made him feel disgusted, but when he saw Qin Mian\'s bright and excited eyes, all his discomfort disappeared like smoke into thin air. All he could see in his eyes was his smile, and in his heart, he could only feel\'s joy.
