Chapter 240 New Years Bell (1+1)(2/2)
Wei Hao loved his little granddaughter very much. He put his pocket watch into his arms with a smile, and then took out a copper coin.
"Here, this is Qing'er's lucky money." Wei Hao smiled kindly.
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, looked at the wooden box in Wei Jue's arms, and suddenly opened his mouth.
Wei Hao thought she thought it was too little, so he took out another one with a smile, "I'll give you two. When you get married next year, there won't be any more!"
Wei Qing still knelt on the ground without moving, his little mouth pouted so much that he could hang an oil lamp.
Now everyone realized something was wrong. As a father, Wei Ji immediately scolded her.
But before he could speak, Wei Jue spoke.
"Brother, actually, we just went to the second brother's place first..."
Wei Ju's expression changed, he glanced at the wooden box in Wei Jue's arms, and then looked at Wei Jue. Wei Jue chuckled and nodded towards him.
When Wei Jian saw this, he took a deep breath, walked to Wei Hao, and whispered something.
Wei Hao's old face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he laughed awkwardly.
In the end, all the juniors who came to pay New Year greetings received a pocket watch.
However, it was not given in the name of Wei Cheng, but in the name of the head of the family, Wei Hao, although it was a bit superfluous.
As for the New Year's money given by Wei Cheng, it was really New Year's money... Wei Cheng gave them a bunch of tickets.

Located in the center of Anyi County.
It is the intersection of Xuanwu Avenue, Zhuque Avenue, Qinglong Avenue and Baihu Avenue.
This was originally a tower, and its main function was to dispatch city defense. Soldiers waved signals with flags upstairs. The message conveyed by the flags could be clearly seen on the city gate in the distance.
However, as early as half a month ago, the tower was sealed with straw mats. Standing outside, you could not see what the people inside were doing.
But this fortification that had been blocked for half a month actually started to move today. Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of the New Year, the straw mat outside the tower was filled with red silk.
All the passers-by stopped and watched.
Some people speculated what kind of store had opened. Of course, if a store is opened in such a good location, the business must be booming. The ability to convert the wartime tower into a store must be Wei's work, but I don't know what good items are being sold this time. .
Some people think it is the patrol fortifications of the city guard. Everyone has seen the fortifications outside the city, and many people have even witnessed the power of those fortifications. In comparison, the fortifications in the city are simply incomparable. Sooner or later, they will have to be upgraded. of.
Just when everyone was talking about it.
Wei Min took Tian Feng, Xun Yu, and several people from the Wei Family Goodwill Hall and walked out of the straw mat wall talking and laughing.
Tian Feng said with regret: "Second Master, is it true that the young master won't come?"
Wei Min smiled, shook his head, and replied jokingly: "He said just remove all the mats. This kid, since Yan'er became pregnant, has become more and more cunning."
Tian Feng and Xun You smiled at each other, and then looked at the luxurious carriages driving not far away.
After the carriage stopped, heads and talkers from aristocratic families appeared one after another.
Behind the carriage, there were also a group of young men riding bicycles, the first generation of car owners in Hedong.
"Hahaha, I'm not late, am I?" Mr. Xie was in good spirits and walked slowly with Xie Yu's support.
Wei Min and others hurried forward to greet him.
Wei Min showed a rare smile and said politely: "It's not too late, it's not too late. The old lady came just in time. I'm grateful that the old lady can come here during the Chinese New Year."
On the other side, three old men came together.
Those who are well-informed will find that the four longest-lived elders in Anyi County, including Mr. Xie, are gathered here.
All four of them came from a wealthy family, because ordinary people would not live to their age.
Under Tian Feng's guidance, the four of them, Mr. Xie, stood in the four directions of the tower.
Mrs. Xie faced Xuanwu Avenue, and the other three faced the other three streets.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and many businesses on the street lit oil lamps and torches.
As Tian Feng shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived!"
Old Madam Xie and the four others followed the procedure and pulled a piece of red silk.
With a crash, the mats covering the tower fell from the sky, revealing the fortifications that had been hidden for half a month.
Winter, winter, winter...
At this time, the time happened to be six o'clock in the evening.
A huge bell rang at the top of the tower, and the loud ringing reached all corners of Anyi County.
Below the big clock, four big clocks that look like pocket watch dials come into view, one for the southeast, one for the northwest, and one for each.
