Chapter 70 Trophies
"Mom! There are also candies here. It's Chinese New Year and it's a good thing that so many people come to bless us! Don't feel bad about the candies, there are plenty of them here!" Bai Ruxue smiled and gave her mother two more kilograms of old-fashioned fruit candies!
There are a lot of candies in her supermarket, all kinds of hard and soft, fruity, milky, toffee, and even this old-fashioned paper-wrapped candy weighing dozens of kilograms.<
/p>
"Okay! Mom doesn't feel bad!" As he spoke, another wave of children came, eight in total. When they came in, they knelt down and kowtowed and said Happy New Year.
Wang Cuihua gave out all the peanuts and gave out melon seeds instead, giving out two candies to each person as usual.
The children went out laughing happily.
Soon, three members of the third uncle's family came over. When they entered, Bai Ruyu and her two younger brothers kowtowed to Bai Daliang and his wife, "Happy New Year, uncle and uncle!"
After saying that, he stood up and stood aside to wait.
Wang Cuihua gave everyone a handful of melon seeds and a handful of candies, each of whom looked like six or seven.
But Bai Ruyu frowned and put all the candies in his pocket and stretched out his hand, "Auntie, we are a family. Can we be like those children in the village? Give me some more!"
"Yes, uncle! I want it too!"
"And me!" Bai Ruying and Bai Rusheng imitated their elder sister by putting the candy in their pockets and extending their hands, as if you didn't give them to them.
Wang Cuihua had no choice but to go back to get the cloth bag placed on the kang. At this time, Bai Ruying stepped forward with quick eyes and hands and pulled the cloth bag away, saying proudly, "Bring it to you!"<
/p>
Bai Ruxue was so angry that she stepped forward and snatched it away, "Who taught you the rules? Are you going to grab something from your elders?"
"Give back my candy, you give me back my candy! I'm going to tell grandma that you grabbed my candy!" Bai Ruying jumped twice and couldn't grab the bag, and she was about to cry and ran away!
"Okay! You go and tell Nai! But before that, take out all the candies you just gave me! Otherwise, how can you say that I robbed you of your candies?" Bai Ruxue stepped forward and was about to take out Bai Ruying's pocket.
p>
At this time, Bai Ruyu, who also wanted to follow his brother and run away, immediately said, "Sister, if I don't tell grandma, don't take away the candy you just gave me! I don't want anything else!"
"Okay! Be obedient and don't rob! What is given is yours!" Bai Ruxue agreed.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Bai Ruying struggled.
"Xiaoxue! Let Xiaoying go! He is still a child!" Bai Daliang persuaded weakly.
In fact, no one can refute the words of the eldest daughter. Even he, the father, will not give face to the eldest daughter if he makes a mistake.
"Is it okay to learn how to rob at a young age? What will it be like when you grow up? Why should you complain if you can't rob? Who taught you?" Bai Ruxue didn't listen to Bai Daliang and continued to dig in.
Bai Ruying took out all the candies in her pocket and then let her go.
"Okay, now go tell the girl that I stole your candy! Let me see what she can do to me? But before that, you have no more candy to eat!"
Bai Ruying looked at the bulging pockets of her sister and brother, and then saw all her candies snatched away by Bai Ruxue, and immediately her mouth dropped and she began to cry.
"Sister, I won't rob you anymore, I won't tell you anymore, please give me my candy back! Give it back to me!"
Bai Ruxue is funny, that’s it? You’re going to get scared right away?
"Sister, I really don't want to fight anymore... wu wu wu..."
"Xiaoxue, give it to him! It's not good to cry during the Chinese New Year!" Wang Cuihua stood on the ground at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"Remember! Each of the other children in the village only has two candies! People must learn to be content! Being greedy will only make you lose more!" Bai Ruxue waved Bai Ruying's handful of candies in front of his eyes, which made him think.
He stepped forward to grab it, but he was afraid that the eldest sister would not give it to him in a fit of anger, so he swallowed his saliva and looked at her helplessly.
"Do you remember everything?" Bai Ruxue asked sharply.
"Remember, eldest sister! I don't want the candy in my uncle's hand, and I won't tell her!" Bai Ruyu said immediately.
Six-year-old Bai Rusheng also nodded seriously.
"What about you? Do you remember?" Bai Ruxue pointed at Bai Ruying and asked again.
"Remember!" Bai Ruying nodded obediently.
"Here! Take it! Remember! If you dare to come to Huohuo's house in the future, I won't be polite to you!" Bai Ruxue said harshly again.
Bai Ruying got the candy and immediately turned around and ran away, followed by the two following her.
"Xiaoxue, this..." Wang Cuihua looked at the three children disappearing at the door and hesitated.
"It's okay, Mom! Here!" Bai Ruxue handed the bag to Wang Cuihua. There was more than a pound of candy in it.
Next, the whole morning, the child did not stop until about ten o'clock, when Bai Daliang went to the old house to pay New Year's greetings to Old Baitou and Old Mrs. Bai.
Bai Ruxue also went out and visited Third Grandma's house and Grandma Zhao's house in the east courtyard.
When I came back, the little ones also came back after paying New Year greetings.
"Xiaoshan, go to the educated youth center and call your eldest brother-in-law! Let's have dinner!" Bai Ruxue arranged for lunch, because she didn't eat in the morning after the midnight meal.
"Sister, please find me a bag first. I want to hide all my trophies. Xiaochuan insists on robbing me!" Bai Rushan said and pointed to the North Kang.
Bai Ruxue looked over and saw a pile of popcorn in front of Bai Ruxia and Bai Ruyun, with melon seeds mixed in and a few candies on top.
Bai Ruchuan was the one in front of him the most, and next to Bai Ruyun was Bai Rushan's trophy, which was similar to the two sisters', and they were trying to protect it.
Bai Ruxue shook her head and smiled and brought out a cloth bag for everyone.
"Hurry up and put it on!"
A few little ones happily took it and carefully packed up all the things they had received during the morning's New Year greetings.
Every household cooks fried popcorn, but don’t get me wrong. It’s not the flowery popcorn that smells like milk and chocolate in later generations. The popcorn fried in this era is made of corn kernels mixed with clean soil.
When you fry it in a big iron pot, a few flowers will pop out, and you will eat it crispy and fragrant. People with good conditions will also sprinkle some saccharin on it, which makes it taste sweet and quite delicious.
For those who cannot afford melon seed candies, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, their children will be given a handful of popcorn when they come to visit them for New Year greetings.
Just two years ago, the relief food was distributed, which was corn kernels, so every household was frying popcorn.
"Sister, help me keep an eye on it! I'm going to call the eldest brother-in-law!" Bai Rushan put his bag in Bai Ruxue's hand and ran out in a hurry.
Bai Ruxue sighed, no matter how mature and steady she is, she is still a child! This reveals the nature of a child.
She put the things away, went out to heat dumplings, and heated up the dishes that were left unfinished at midnight, and served them to the table one by one. Zhang Yuan and Bai Rushan happened to come over.
While everyone was eating, Bai Dajiang and Wu Zhaodi came over.
"Second uncle and second aunt, hurry up, hurry up, come to the table and have something to eat together!" Bai Ruxue hurriedly greeted people.
"Stop being busy, Xiaoxue, hurry up and eat! We came here after dinner!" Wu Zhaodi waved his hand.
"That's right, my second uncle is coming over to say New Year's greetings to your parents! Stop greeting us and hurry up and eat!" Bai Dajiang also hurriedly spoke up to stop Bai Ruxue.
"Come on, come on! Since you're here, come to the table and have a drink with me!" Bai Daliang waved.
