And given the Zhou family's financial situation, the gifts Qian could give were really limited.

The next day, Qian asked Xiao Qian to make tofu and send two portions to the Bai family.

Xiao Qian and her two sisters-in-law became very skilled at making tofu. Since she learned how to make tofu, she has been making it every now and then. Not only can her family eat it, but people in the village will also trade beans with her.

I met Zhou Zhoulang selling bamboo weavings at the market, and he would take some with him to the market.

After all, there are few vegetables in winter, so tofu is really a good dish.

Of course, it is impossible to make money. Basically, you exchange beans for tofu, one pound of beans for two pounds of tofu.

As for what to do if there are too many beans at home, it is natural to take them to the county grain store to sell them.

However, because I am too lazy to walk up the mountain, I have not taken away the beans from home so far. They are all piled in the room untouched.

So if you want to say what the Qian family lacks most at this time, it is beans.

After delivering tofu for one day, Qian picked out some pretty good yams for Bai Shanbao to take back the next day. On the third day, she made a lot of sesame candies and sent them to the Bai family.

The Bai family received gifts for three days in a row. Mrs. Liu paid them back, but Mrs. Bai couldn't help but ask, "Does the eldest lady of the Zhou family have anything to ask of us this week?"

Mrs. Bai thinks so too.

Ms. Liu smiled and said, "She probably saw the New Year's money we gave to Man Bao. Madam Zhou is good at everything else, but it's just too many gifts."

Only then did Mrs. Bai remember this and couldn't help but laugh: "The second son of our family also received their family's New Year's money, which is quite a lot."

Mrs. Bai also laughed, "Yes, there are eight in total."

Those who get married must give their children lucky money, and the Zhou family must give new year's money to their children, no more, no less, exactly eight.

When Zhou Lang gets married, there will be ten next year.

Although each red envelope is not much, only six cents, the eight in total are quite a lot.

In particular, the Bai family knows that the villagers in the village give red envelopes during the New Year, no matter how close they are, they only have one penny each. The red envelopes given by the Zhou family to Bai Erlang each contain six pence. They are obviously specially packed, which is a lot.

Of course, the Bai family would not expect the Zhou family to give out the same red envelopes as theirs, after all, their family background is there.

but……

Mrs. Bai was curious, "It's the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, how come the eldest lady of the Zhou family knows about it? Doesn't she accept the red envelopes from their children?"

Although Bai Erlang was favored, the Bai family was rich, and his red envelope was received by Mrs. Bai. Bai Erlang didn't have much money.

So Mrs. Bai knew exactly how many red envelopes he had received.

Ms. Liu smiled and said, "The little daughter they raised is different. I heard that she received her own red envelope when she was very young."

It is also because of this that Bai Shanbao was unwilling to give the large red envelope to Zheng last year and insisted on taking it himself.

Including the money he sold to his family this year for ginger cubes, Liu estimated that he had saved a lot of money. After all, he didn't want to buy meat like Man Bao.

But Mr. Liu was happy to let him manage it by himself.

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai came with great interest. She quietly mentioned it to Mr. Bai in the evening, and also wanted Bai Erlang to try to manage his new year's money by himself, "Don't you always say that Shanbao and the little girls from the Zhou family are very smart?

, how about letting Erlang manage the new year's money himself?"

Mr. Bai said: "Give it to him? Believe it or not, he can buy all the candies and eat them?"

Mrs. Bai said: "There is no place to sell candy in the village. I think you are worrying too much. Let him learn from Shanbao, save the money, and go to the county town to buy books, paper and pens in the future."

My aunt said that Shanbao is very considerate now, and basically all the money he saves is spent on buying books.

Of course Mrs. Bai also wanted her youngest son to be so considerate.

Mr. Bai was obedient and nodded perfunctorily: "It's up to you."

So the next day, Bai Erlang ushered in the first spring in his life, and his mother actually returned to him all the New Year's money he received this year.

Bai Erlang hugged the box and couldn't help but hugged his mother excitedly. Then he ran away with the box, leaving Mrs. Bai who had many things in her heart to say to him unable to stop her.

Forget it, let's wait until he comes back from playing.

Does Bai Erlang have a lot of new year's money?

That must be a lot, at least more than Bai Shanbao.

Because there are not only his maternal grandfather's family in Luojiang County, but also many of his father's friends. If they go out for a walk during the New Year, they will be able to receive lucky money.

Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai will also give him New Year's money. Although they have to take it back and keep it for safekeeping, now, all the money is in his hands.

Although there was no place to spend money in the village, Bai Erlang excitedly grabbed a handful of money and took it with him.

He wanted to show off to his friends, especially the two paupers Bai Shanbao and Manbao.

Yes, in his opinion, Bai Shanbao and Manbao were paupers. After all, they were the ones who had to pull centella asiatica in the summer and sell ginger cubes in the autumn.

So, at the intersection not far from the school, Bai Erlang poured out all the money from his wallet and showed it to Bai Shanbao and Manbao, showing off: "How about it, do you have money?"

Man Bao was not envious at all and said, "I have it too."

She kept all her New Year's money by herself. Except for the five beautiful golden girls, the rest were all copper coins. In fact, there were quite a few.

Everyone in the village who is already married and who is above or of the same generation as her will give her a New Year's money, including money from her family and money from visiting her uncle's house for New Year greetings...

Man Bao also took out the money bag from his satchel, which he always hung, without pouring it out. After shaking it, he knew it was more than what Bai Erlang had brought.

Only Bai Shanbao, who didn't have any money on him, looked at the two of them silently:...

Bai Erlang was not convinced and said: "I still have some money. Just wait, I will bring my money box."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

When Bai Shanbao heard this, he also said: "I have money too."

He wanted to drag Man Bao back to his home and said to Bai Erlang: "Bring the money box to my house to compare."

When Man Bao heard this, he said, "I also have a money box."

Keke immediately stopped her, "Host, you can't take the money box out like this, your bag can't hold your money box."

So you can't pretend to take out the money box from your satchel. Bai Erlang may be a fool, but Bai Shanbao is not.

Man Bao shook off Bai Shanbao's hand, turned around and ran to her house: "Just wait, I'll go back and get the money box."

In the end, Lao Zhoutou didn't cheat Man Baode's five golden nudity away, because she really liked these five beautiful golden nudity, and even her mother was not willing to give them to her, let alone her father.

Manbao ran back to his room, took out the money box from Keke, turned around and was about to run out, when he saw five beautiful gold nuggets hanging on the bedside, he immediately climbed up and took them off, and then ran out.
