Chapter 208 New Year’s Day 2
When they arrived at Wangjia Village, before everyone started to greet each other, Zhao Shiying was immediately hugged by Min Wenying.
"Our daughter is here." Min Wenying happily picked up Zhao Shiying.
"Happy New Year, grandma. I wish you good health, a healthy and strong life, and a happy life every year." Zhao Shiying said with a smile.
"Oh my, my daughter is amazing. Who taught you this?" Min Wenying looked at her grandchildren and daughter, guessing that they must have taught her.
"Grandma, no one taught me, I just wanted to say this to you," said Zhao Shiying.
"Oh, that's great, grandma likes it." Min Wenying smiled.
"I wish grandma and grandpa smooth sailing, a long life, three good fortunes, four seasons of peace, five blessings, six good lucks, seven stars shining, eight directions of wealth, nine hearts in harmony, and ten perfect things!" Zhao Shisheng, Zhao Shimin and Zhao Shihui said in unison.
Zhao Shiying stared in surprise. Well, her sisters and brothers didn’t tell her.
"Ah~~hahaha, good, great, you are worthy of being educated, the words you say are different." Min Wenying praised happily.
"That's good. Come in and don't stand at the door." Wang Haiming said with a smile.
"Happy New Year, uncle! We are here to wish you a happy new year." Several children saw Wang Yueshan and greeted him with a smile.
Wang Yueshan naturally agreed, and all the children were very good.
After sitting in the inner room, Zhao Shiying didn't expect that Wang Mian would also come.
"Wang Mian is here, come in quickly." Wang Haiming saw Wang Mian and waved with a smile.
Wang Mian came in with a smile and naturally wanted to offer some congratulations. After all, he came here specifically to wish everyone a happy new year. He also brought two boxes of cakes, a jar of wine, and a piece of beef weighing four or five pounds.
"Hey, where did you get this beef?" Zhao Guocheng had sharp eyes and recognized it as beef at once.
"I bought it this morning when I went to the market. I happened to see it on sale, so I bought a few pounds. I brought these to honor my teacher and his family." After Wang Mian finished speaking, he handed the beef and pastries to Min Wenying.
"You are such a waste of money, why would I ask you to bring beef here? I'm very happy that you can come here." Min Wenying had no choice but to accept the money. If she didn't accept it, she would be driven away. It would be a lot of money. The child couldn't earn much in a year, so she had to spend all of it on her.
'It's just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it.'
Finally, Wang Haiming spoke and Min Wenying put it away.
This child is very thoughtful, but it must be put away.
"Let's go out and play." Zhao Shihui pulled Wang Mian and walked out with a smile.
Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shiying naturally went along, while Zhao Shimin went to the kitchen to help.
Wang Haiming, Wang Yueshan and Zhao Guocheng sat and chatted.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, many girls who married far away would return to their parents' home, or daughters-in-law would return to their parents' home, and there would be a lot more people walking around in the village.
It felt like the whole village suddenly came alive and was very lively.
In the village, one can often hear the laughter of children, as well as the sounds of adults congratulating each other and greeting each other.
As soon as Zhao Shisheng and his friends left the yard, they ran into a group of children running towards them.
'Brother Wang Mian, let's play together.'
Wang Mian looked at Zhao Shisheng and the others. After they nodded, Wang Mian smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Then several people started to play role-playing games, which was suggested by Zhao Shiying.
Everyone was very curious about this game. Zhao Shiying explained the rules of the game on the spot, and then everyone agreed.
It turned out to be a story about a bailiff catching a thief.
There are two thieves, four yamen runners, and the rest are all civilians. The civilians will play their part when the time comes.
In this way, a group of children began to perform a story play.
Everyone not only finds it novel, but also fun. The key is that no matter how many people there are, they can all play together and participate.
It’s really inclusive.
After playing a few games like this, the yard was filled with the sounds of people laughing and shouting to run away.
Fortunately, the bailiff was quite capable and caught the two thieves very quickly, and the game was over.
The next step is to change people and roles.
This time, Zhao Shihui and Zhao Shisheng were thieves, while Zhao Shiying, Zhao Shimin, Wang Mian and another child king in the village were yamen runners.
Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui pretended to steal something and then ran away, with four yamen runners chasing after them.
The civilians created obstacles for the thieves.
But even so, the four yamen runners were unable to catch the thief.
Zhao Shihui and Zhao Shisheng’s recent martial arts training was not in vain.
He climbed up the tree in no time and hid very secretly.
"What should I do? I've lost him and can't find him now." Wang Mian was panting with exhaustion. He must have run too fast.
It was the first time he saw Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui's ability to escape, it was truly amazing.
"Yes, I can't run anymore, what should I do?" Zhao Shimin held onto a tree and almost squatted down.
too tired.
"I clearly saw my brothers running over here. It's hard to hide people here. Why don't we split up and look for them?" Zhao Shiying said.
"My younger sister and I will look for it together. You two can go over there and look for it. You must look for the place where you think there is the most possibility of hiding people." Zhao Shimin said.
"Yes, you guys go and have a look quickly." Zhao Shiying nodded. She couldn't run anymore anyway.
Zhao Shiying came and sat down under the tree, not afraid of getting her clothes dirty at all, because she was really tired.
However, it was this movement of raising her head that allowed her to see a piece of clothing among the leaves.
Zhao Shiying did not shout loudly, but carefully observed a tree next to her to see whether her brothers were on the same tree or separated. The result was obvious: they each climbed two adjacent trees.
Now Zhao Shiying no longer had to worry. She was so smart that she discovered her brothers in one go.
"No, we've looked everywhere over there, and we don't know where they might have gone." Wang Mian came back first.
"Don't worry, we can always find it." Zhao Shiying said with a smile.
Several people immediately looked at Zhao Shiying.
"Brother, come down, I know you are on these two trees." Zhao Shiying smiled and looked up at the two trees beside her.
Now the others were all surprised.
Is this even possible?
They all looked up at the tree.
"Brother, you see, I said it would be no problem for my little sister, she is the smartest." Zhao Shihui's words revealed pride and regret.
"My little sister is really awesome. Okay, let's admit defeat." Zhao Shisheng said with a smile, and then went down with Zhao Shihui.
They originally wanted to pretend to be caught, and then run in different directions immediately after getting down from the tree. However, before their feet even touched the ground, Wang Mian and another child controlled Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui. After all, they were afraid that the two would cheat and escape.
One person grabbed the clothes of the other, fearing that the two would run away. After all, they really couldn't run away.
"Just admit defeat. Now let's reallocate the roles. This time I'll be the thief." Zhao Shiying smiled and raised her hand high.
For her, the most popular role is not that of a yamen runner, but that of a thief.
