Chapter 250 Huge New Year's Money
Chapter 250 Huge New Year's Money
Lu Yuanqiu called everyone to the yard and moved two benches to the front.
Bai Qingxia walked out of the kitchen and stood at the door, wiping her hands with her apron. She looked at the crowd stiffly and did not move forward until Lu Yuanqiu came over and pulled her to the side of the crowd. Then the girl shyly clasped her hands in front of her and tried to stand in a row with everyone else.
"Why are you being so polite to us?" Lu Yuanqiu scolded her.
"I……"
Bai Qingxia tilted her head and scratched it. She didn't want to be polite, but she was too shy to take the initiative to step forward.
Lu Yuanqiu pulled Bai Songzhe over again and pointed at the apron on Bai Qingxia. The girl reacted and quickly took off the apron, then ran to the side and put it on the table.
She quickly pulled her father to stand beside her. Seeing that her father was not wearing his newly bought coat, she quickly ran into the inner hall to get the coat for her father to put on, and then carefully helped him tidy up his clothes.
Lu Xingzhou was watching from the side. He saw his sister-in-law sitting on one of the two benches in front. The old man suddenly became hypocritical: "Is the remaining bench reserved for me?"
The whole family stared at him blankly, their expressions seemed to be saying: What do you think?
Uncle Lu Cheng said: "Of course it's yours."
The old man continued to be hypocritical: "I'm not your biological father... It's not appropriate for me to sit there, how about I stand."
Lu Yuanqiu was speechless. Isn't the old man usually very arrogant? Why is he still being so pretentious at this time?
Mrs. Lu Cao said simply: "If you don't want to sit down, get out."
Lu Xingzhou: “…”
Lu Yuanqiu quickly ran over and helped the Second Master sit down on the bench, saying loudly, "Just sit here! You are my real grandfather!"
Hearing this, Lu Xingzhou raised his head and looked deeply at his nephew, then nodded with satisfaction... He now liked Lu Yuanqiu the most.
Lu Xingzhou then turned his head to look at his sister-in-law, not daring to speak. He sat upright facing the square, carefully straightening his clothes.
"Ahem." Lu Xingzhou coughed twice to ease the awkwardness, but Lu Cao next to him still ignored him.
Lu Yuanqiu was like an outsider at this time. He ran to the front and looked at everyone's position, and adjusted everyone's posture, clothing, and even expression.
"Ouch." Lu Yuanqiu turned around and found that he had knocked the cameraman to the side.
He smiled sheepishly, and the cameraman responded with a blank smile, then awkwardly stood aside and watched Lu Yuanqiu's performance.
After Lu Yuanqiu carefully adjusted himself, he said, "Stand still, everyone. Where's the photographer?"
He turned his head and found that the person he had just accidentally bumped into was the photographer. He quickly pulled the photographer over and said, "Why are you standing so far away? Are you taking the photo or am I taking the photo?"
Photographer(゜-゜)
Yes, brother, I want to ask you this question too...
He stood in front of his camera with an unhappy expression.
Lu Yuanqiu returned to his seat and stood between Bai Qingxia and Lu Tian. Lu Yidong was too short, so he obediently ran to squat in front of his grandmother.
"Three, two, one!"
"eggplant!"
"Crack!"
At the moment the shutter was pressed, Bai Qingxia shouted "Eggplant" with the corners of her mouth raised. She was particularly happy at this moment.
……
After the New Year’s Eve dinner.
It’s almost eight o’clock.
The two old people didn't like to make a fuss, so they went back to their rooms early to rest.
Lu Yido watched the uncles and aunts coming over with their small bags. She understood something in an instant and jumped for joy, her eyes lighting up.
Lucky money! ! !
The little girl quickly pulled her brother, and Lu Yuanqiu followed and looked at her, without any mood swings. He didn't know what Lu Yidong was happy about. The girl took the money tonight and had to hand it over tomorrow. Su Xiaoya would not let her keep the money because Lu Yidong was young.
"Old rules, kowtow and give money, hahaha!" Uncle laughed heartily.
He walked first to the seat at the front of the hall and sat down.
The eldest sister said weakly: "Dad, I haven't started working yet, can I still have it?"
The uncle was stunned for a moment, then compromised and said, "Give it to me, give it to me if you kowtow."
"Long live daddy!"
The eldest sister was instantly delighted. She walked over, knelt down on a cushion on the ground and kowtowed.
Bai Qingxia stood in the corner and was shocked for a moment. She saw her uncle handing over a thick stack of money, the thickness of which... seemed to be ten thousand.
The children came forward one after another and kowtowed according to their age. After Lu Yuanqiu finished kowtowing, he turned his head to look at Bai Qingxia who was standing in the corner. The uncle also looked over, and seeing that the girl deliberately didn't look over here, the uncle called Lu Yidong first.
After Lu Yidong finished his kowtow, Lu Cheng waved and called out, "Xiao Xia, come here and wish your uncle a happy new year, too."
Bai Qingxia grabbed her father's hand, not daring to look over. She looked very embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, but she did not walk over obediently. In fact, she could have been more resolute, but she was afraid that she would ruin the happy atmosphere of the night, so she was very conflicted and had no idea what to do.
"Don't you want New Year's money?" asked the uncle with a smile.
Bai Qingxia blushed and responded honestly: "Too many..."
She said and shook her head silently.
Lu Yuanqiu walked up to her and said, "If you're not used to it, then give me less, okay?"
Bai Qingxia looked up at him, feeling embarrassed to say anything to refuse. She was really afraid of affecting everyone's mood tonight. She was also afraid that her behavior would cause them to misunderstand, and that they would think that she did not treat them as family.
Although the girl thought that she and everyone were already a family, she felt that she was far from being able to receive so much New Year's money.
"Go ahead. The uncles and aunts will give you less." Lu Yuanqiu persuaded.
Bai Qingxia nodded slightly and walked over.
She knelt down on the cushion and kowtowed to her uncle quite loudly, which made Lu Yuanqiu frown and he quickly walked over to her and squatted down.
The boy felt distressed and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you so honest? Just a light knock will do."
"I..." The girl scratched her head, her eyes reddened, not sure if it was because of the pain or anxiety. She said, "I'm really embarrassed to accept the New Year's money. Since I have to accept it... I'd better kowtow seriously, right?"
After she finished speaking, she gave Lu Yuanqiu a dry laugh, as if asking Lu Yuanqiu for instructions, asking if what she was doing was right?
The uncles and aunts were amused by the girl's sincerity, but Lu Yuanqiu couldn't laugh. He looked at Bai Qingxia, his nose felt a little sore and his eyes felt a little dry.
Perhaps for her, this was a sign that happiness and warmth came too suddenly, and she was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Lu Yuanqiu rubbed her red forehead and said seriously, "You are right. You should be serious when you kowtow to your elders, but don't kowtow so hard... I feel bad." He smiled when he said the last sentence and deliberately added a joking tone, but his words were extremely serious.
Lu Yuanqiu paused for a moment, then added with a smile: "Uncles and aunts will also feel distressed."
The uncle quickly said, "Yes, Xiao Xia, if you kowtow so hard, I have to give you two stacks of money, otherwise I will feel bad."
Bai Qingxia hesitated for a few seconds, and said in a slightly lighter tone: "Okay."
She could see that Lu Yuanqiu was sad, and she didn't want to make him worry.
The uncle looked at the stack of money in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then split it in half and handed it to Bai Qingxia.
This is... five thousand.
The girl swallowed and stretched out her hands to take it. She stood up and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, then bowed deeply to her uncle and stood aside.
The money in my hand is so hot.
Tomorrow's plot is about the start of the next semester. There is not much content during the winter vacation, and the New Year plot is not a climax, so I just want to write something plain and warm.
