Chapter 120 Red envelopes and New Year greetings

After Qiao Ruixue got the red envelope, she couldn't wait to open it and took out a red old man's head. "Ah, this year's red envelope is actually 100 yuan. Mom and Dad, you are so kind to me."

Qiao Ruida held the red envelope, but her face was full of tangles, "Mom, I am an adult this year and can make money by myself, so I don't need to take the red envelope, right?"

Qiao Jingkang glared at Qiao Ruida and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you can make money, that's your business. It has nothing to do with whether you accept red envelopes or not. As long as you are not married, you are eligible to receive red envelopes. In the eyes of me and your mother, Li, no matter how old you are, you are still a child."

"Okay, okay, I'll take it, can't I take it?" Seeing this, Qiao Ruida gave up decisively and put the red envelope into her pocket.

"Brother, where is the red envelope you promised me? Are you not prepared?" At this time, Qiao Ruixue stretched out her fleshy little hand in front of Qiao Ruida and asked for the red envelope.

"How is that possible? I'm just spitting out my words, so there's no way I can break my promise. Just wait, I'll get it for you in the bedroom."

After that, Qiao Ruida returned to the bedroom and came out soon carrying a supermarket shopping bag. Inside the bag was a thick stack of red envelopes, at least dozens of them.He took out the thickest red envelope from the bag, handed it to Qiao Ruixue, and said, "Xiaoxue, this is the red envelope for you. The money you spent for the red envelope last night was also put in it."

Qiao Ruixue took the red envelope and squeezed it. She felt something was wrong, so she asked: "Brother, how much did you pay for it? It's too thick."

"It's not much, just 3000 yuan. Xiaoxue, you are admitted to the first grade of high school this year, and you can be considered a big girl. If you want to buy some clothes, bags, cosmetics, etc. in the future, you can use this money. If it is not enough, you can buy more. Ask me for it.”

"Thirteen thousand, that's too much. I can't spend that much money. Brother, why don't you take the 1 yuan back? I just want the 3000 yuan." Qiao Ruixue opened it. The red envelope, and sure enough, I found a thick pile of old people's heads inside.One hundred of them were brand-new serial-numbered banknotes, tied with a strip of white paper. At first glance, they looked like new banknotes that had just been taken out of the bank.

Qiao Ruida waved her hand and said very domineeringly: "No, you can spend it. If you really can't spend it, just deposit it into your bank card and make it your dowry in the future. To your brother and me, these more than 1 yuan are nothing but Drizzle, not worth mentioning.”

"Mom, please help me deposit this 1 yuan into my bank card. With the remaining 3000 yuan in cash, I will be able to pay my tuition after school starts." Qiao Ruixue took out the pile of brand-new old people's heads and placed them on Yao Miaozhi's head. In her hand, she carefully put the remaining banknotes into a pink wallet and put them back in the bedroom.

"Okay, I will save this money for you and use it for your college education in the future." Since they were very young, the large red envelopes Qiao Ruida and Qiao Ruixue received during the Chinese New Year have been kept solely by their mother.After the amount exceeded one thousand, Yao Miaozhi applied for a card for each of them and deposited the money into it.After more than ten years, the brother and sister probably have thousands of dollars in their bank cards.

At this time, Qiao Jingkang became interested in the other red envelopes in the shopping bag and asked: "Are you preparing these remaining red envelopes for your nieces and nephews? How much money is there? Isn't it hundreds or thousands?" Right?" "It is indeed prepared for them, but the money in it is not much, a red envelope is only 200." As she said that, Qiao Ruida took out a red envelope from the shopping bag and opened it, and there were indeed two old people's heads inside.

"Is it 200 yuan? That's fine. If you give too much, your eldest and second uncles may not let Xiao Yi and the others accept it."

After a short interlude, the family began to eat dumplings around the round table.As the old saying goes, dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings, and they are not as comfortable as upside down. Starting from the Ming Dynasty, the custom of eating dumplings during the New Year began to spread throughout China.At that time, the majority of the people were very poor, and their daily staple food was just sweet potatoes and rice bran. White flour was considered a very luxurious food.If you can have a meal of dumplings during the Chinese New Year, you are considered a well-off family.In modern times, white flour rice has become people's main food, and dumplings are no longer a rarity, and they are eaten countless times a year.However, the habit of eating dumplings during the New Year has still been retained and has become a part of the New Year customs. It seems that the New Year will be incomplete without eating dumplings.

After breakfast, Qiao Ruida and Qiao Ruixue drove out in their cars to visit their relatives' homes for New Year greetings.Qiao Ruida's grandparents have passed away. Her father Qiao Jingkang is the youngest, with two brothers and three sisters.These are the brother and sister Qiao Ruida who need to visit relatives for New Year's greetings this morning.Fortunately, these people all live within the limits of Decheng City and have cars to travel around. It takes one morning to walk around.

Ten minutes later, the Mercedes-Benz parked in a rather old community. Qiao Ruida and Qiao Ruixue got out of the car and came to the door of Room 203, Building [-], in a familiar way.

Qiao Ruixue raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Bang bang bang, uncle, aunt, we are here to celebrate the New Year!"

The rusty security door was quickly opened from the inside, and a woman in her 60s with white hair came up to her, "Xiaoda and Xiaoxue are here. Your family is the first to go out every year. We have just had dinner, you guys?" Here we come. The temperature outside is quite low today. You are wearing such thin clothes. Are you cold?"

"It's not cold. My brother and I drove here. The car has air conditioning. Why are we cold?"

While talking, Qiao Ruida and Qiao Ruixue had already walked into the security door and came to the living room.This residential building is a Soviet-style tube building built in the 80s and [-]s. The room area is relatively small and the structure is not very reasonable.The living room area is only about twenty square meters, and its shape is an irregular rectangle, which is very weird.At this time, a large round table was placed in the middle of the living room, with more than a dozen people, men, women, and children sitting around it.There were many plates and large bowls on the table, filled with steaming dumplings. It looked like they had been served not long ago.

"Uncle, eldest brother, third brother, second sister and two sisters-in-law, wish you a happy New Year!" Qiao Ruida said hello to the uncle and his family.

"Ruida and Xiaoxue are here. Happy New Year to you. You are here too early. We have just cooked the dumplings here and it is still early to finish the meal." The eldest brother Qiao Ruiming raised his head and chatted with brother and sister Qiao Ruida for a while. sentence, then lowered his head and continued to prepare vinegar dishes for the two children.

"Xiaoda, Xiaoxue, please sit down and wait. I estimate that your second brother and third sister will also come over to pay New Year greetings in a while. Then you can go together and take care of me. By the way, have you had enough breakfast? Don’t you want to eat more from my place? Your aunt made dumplings stuffed with mutton this year, and you won’t pay for two of them.”
