Chapter 365 New Year’s greetings

Chapter 365 New Year’s greetings

After enjoying the fireworks, Tong Huaqiong and others went into the house.

There was a charcoal fire burning on the ground, making the room warm. A few branches of wintersweets in two porcelain vases on the table gave off a refreshing fragrance.

There was a sumptuous meal on the table in the middle.

Gu Dashu took out the good wine sent by the Lu family and opened it, and the aroma of the wine wafted out.

Tong Huaqiong sat at the main seat and asked everyone to sit down together.

Everyone sat down around the table.

Gu Dashu filled the glasses of wine for the adults present, while the children drank the juice that Tong Huaqiong took out from the space.

"It's the New Year, it's the New Year." Yaozu shouted.

Tong Huaqiong was filled with emotion, raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink together to celebrate the New Year."

Everyone raised their glasses.

When the wine was half drunk, Su Chengmin raised his glass and said to Tong Huaqiong: "Aunt Tong, thank you for saving my life and Xiaolong's life."

Then he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass.

Tong Huaqiong said nothing and rubbed Xiaolong's head.

Poor baby, originally a golden phoenix, but now it has fallen into Qinghe Bay.

I just don’t know if the male protagonist in Tong Dajiao’s world can ever reach the throne of the emperor.

After Su Chengmin finished toasting, He Chao pulled Hong to raise the glass and said, "Boss, we and your wife toast to you."

Tong Huaqiong finished drinking, and then Tong Pandi raised his glass.

Tong Huaqiong joked, "Let me have a bite of the food."

After drinking and eating, Tong Pandi and Liu Yue'e went to make dumplings.

As plates of hot dumplings are served on the table, the New Year’s Eve dinner is coming to an end.

Tong Huaqiong drank a lot of wine and felt dizzy. She had almost no memory of when the New Year's Eve dinner ended or when she went into the house to sleep.

She only knew that she fell asleep after keeping watch all night in a daze.

Waking up is a new year.

Tong Huaqiong was awakened by the children's shouting and laughter.

"Grandma, are you up? It's time to give you your New Year's money." Yaozu shouted while standing outside.

As the curtain was lifted, Tong Pandi brought water for washing face, followed by Liu Yue'e with a face towel, and Chen Sufen and Gu Taohua followed behind with new clothes.

This is to help Tong Huaqiong get up.

"Auntie, happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Mom."

Her niece, daughter and daughter-in-law all wished her a happy new year.

Tong Huaqiong put on brand new clothes, washed her face and applied perfume.

The deft Tong Panddy gave Tong Huaqiong a unique hairstyle, and Gu Taohua helped Tong Huaqiong draw her eyebrows and apply powder.

Facing the mirror, Tong Huaqiong smiled with satisfaction and said, "I am like an old tree sprouting new buds."

God bless her, she is still, in her early twenties, a young and beautiful female graduate student in her prime.

"What's the point of an old tree sprouting new buds? Mom is not old to begin with. She is the prettiest girl in the village."

Liu Yue'e was sweet-mouthed and flattered Tong Huaqiong with a smile.

But what she said was true.

Tong Huaqiong has become fairer and prettier in the past six months, and she can even become sworn sisters with her two daughters-in-law.

Not only Tong Huaqiong dressed beautifully, but the other women in the family also dressed beautifully.

Even the pregnant Chen Sufen put on a light makeup, not to mention Gu Taohua and Liu Yue'e.

Tong Pandi left the Wu family, feeling good and started dressing up.

She was wearing the new clothes bought by Tong Huaqiong, and a hairpin given by Gu Taohua on her head. She had a layer of light powder on her face, and she looked elegant and graceful.

Tong Huaqiong took a look and nodded approvingly.

This niece is so pretty.

In the past, Tong Pandidi didn't dare to dress up whether she was in the Tong family or the Wu family. Not only did she not dress up, she also tried her best to hide her beautiful face.

Otherwise, Wang would scold her for being immoral and thinking about men, and Wu's mother-in-law, Qiao, would scold her for being a seductress.

Originally, after her divorce, she went to Qinghewan. She wanted to avoid suspicion because she had cousins ​​at her aunt's house, so she still dressed in gray. After being scolded by Tong Huaqiong several times, she started to dress up again.

After Tong Huaqiong had washed and dressed, she was surrounded by Gu Taohua and others and went to the upper room.

"Come quickly and wish grandma a happy new year."

Chen Sufen placed a cushion on the seat of honor. After Tong Huaqiong sat down, Chen Sufen called the children to wish Tong Huaqiong a happy new year.

Tong Huaqiong: “…”

Who would have thought that she was the one receiving the New Year's money last Spring Festival, but this year she will sit in the upper seat to accept New Year's greetings and give out New Year's money.

The children couldn't hold back any longer and jumped up to Tong Huaqiong.

"Grandma, happy New Year!"

"Grandma, congratulations on your prosperity. Give me the red envelope."

Maner and Yaozu surrounded Tong Huaqiong to wish her a happy new year and asked for lucky money.

"You have to kowtow to grandma before you can get the New Year's money." Gu Taohua said from the side.

Xiaolong stood aside, his eyes full of envy.

It was the first time he felt such excitement.

The New Year celebrations in the former palace were also lively, but not as lively as those in Qinghe Bay.

It was others who wished him a happy new year.

He would also pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather and father, but the etiquette was complicated and he had to pay his respects over and over again. He was not the only grandchild in the royal family, so his grandfather would not show affection to any of his grandchildren in particular, and would just give a few polite compliments and then leave.

As the son of the Eastern Palace, his cousins ​​would not be as affectionate to him as Manyer Yaozu.

"Xiaolong, come and wish grandma a happy new year." Maner pulled Xiaolong, knelt down in front of Tong Huaqiong and kowtowed twice.

Xiaolong was stunned.

He has never kowtowed to anyone except his grandfather and father.

After Xiaolong and Maner kowtowed, Yaozu pulled Duoer to kowtow to Tong Huaqiong as well.

"Okay, okay, Happy New Year." Tong Huaqiong said with a smile.

"Everyone, get up."

To be honest, Tong Huaqiong is still a little uncomfortable with kowtow as a New Year greeting.

"Here, lucky money, everyone gets one."

Tong Huaqiong took out the red envelopes she had prepared long ago and handed them to the children one by one.

The children held the red envelopes with smiles on their faces.

"Yaozu, let me give you this red envelope." Liu Yue'e stretched out her hand and asked Yaozu for the red envelope.

Tong Huaqiong waved her hand and said, "This New Year's money is for the children. The children can spend it freely. You can buy whatever you want with the money."

"Mom, did you hear that? Grandma said that we don't have to hand in the New Year's money."

Gu Yaozu stuffed the red envelope into his arms as he spoke.

During the first month of the year, the village invited a troupe to perform, and there were many small vendors setting up stalls around the stage.

There are candied haws, sugar cakes, sticky candies, as well as gyro windmills and other small items.

For children, what is important is not listening to the opera, but the food and gadgets.

Since they don’t have to hand in the New Year’s money, they can just browse and buy things at the stalls. Thinking of the envious eyes of the children in the village, Yaozu and Maner can’t wait for the opera to start on the stage.

"There is also Hua'er's New Year's money, you as her mother can give it to her."

Tong Huaqiong saw Tong Pandidi holding Huaer and wishing her a happy new year, and stuffed a red envelope into Huaer's arms.

After the children paid their New Year's greetings, Gu Dahan, Gu Dashu and other bad bamboos came to pay their New Year's greetings to Tong Huaqiong.

Except for Chen Sufen before she became pregnant, everyone kowtowed to Tong Huaqiong.

Tong Huaqiong naturally gave them New Year's money as well.

Gu Jingzhe said: "Mom, from today on, there will be many people wishing you a happy new year."

Tong Huaqiong was naturally aware of this. After all, she was a local lady. Not only from Yanguan Town, but even people from Pingchuan County would come to wish her a happy new year.

She had already thought about who she wanted to meet and who she didn't want to meet.

There's nothing difficult to deal with.
