Wei An and Wei Ping also ran to their aunt's place.

Song Yan prepared a lot of small pendants, such as peace buckles and lucky charms, which were not very big, but the quality of the jade was excellent.

Wei An happily put it on.

Wei Ping hesitated for a moment. "Can I wear it too, even though I'm a boy?" But the longing in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"Then let's find one that a boy can wear!" Song Yan picked out a small jade Pixiu for Wei Ping.

Youfu and Xiaohu prepared a gift for Song Yan. They knew Song Yan liked antiques, so it was a pair of porcelain vases.

They bought it together.

The colors are quite pretty.

Yueyue picked it up and looked at it repeatedly, even tapping it gently to listen to the sound.

Several adults were watching Yueyue intently.

“Mom, this is a famille rose porcelain from the Qianlong era. It’s definitely genuine,” Yueyue said earnestly.

Xiao Hu: "It seems that your lucky uncle and I have good taste; we didn't buy fakes!"

They had Gu San check it out before buying it, so how could it be fake?

Whether the items are real or fake, what matters most is their intention.

Song Yan: "You should all start saving money to get married. You're not allowed to spend money recklessly from now on!"

Besides buying a gift for each member of their family, Wei An and Wei Ping had also bought a separate gift for their aunt, a lotus-shaped brush washer, which Yueyue had helped them choose. They had already given it to Song Yan in advance.

Old Zeng said it was from Ru ware.

Yueyue said that she had her third uncle look at such an expensive item, and he said it was a good thing.

The two children spent all the money they had earned.

Song Yan felt moved, and also proud that her children were growing up.

Time flies when everyone is together, chatting and laughing.

Yueyue said she would stay up all night to welcome the New Year, but she couldn't stay awake for long and fell fast asleep.

Aunt Wei prepared many red envelopes, one for each of the younger generation.

The sleeping child was also tucked under the pillow.

Wei An and Wei Ping quietly opened the red envelope to take a look. Inside was 10 yuan. They smiled with pursed lips.

Song Yan distributed red envelopes to everyone in the family for the New Year.

Aunt Wei and Old Zeng received the largest red envelopes, thick stacks of them.

Everyone else received a 20 yuan red envelope.

In this day and age, Song Yan giving out red envelopes like this is definitely considered extravagant.

As firecrackers went off all around, Song Yan couldn't help but look at the stars. He wondered where Wei Aiguo was, and if he was also looking at the starry sky.

Wei Aiguo is looking at the starry sky right now.

Today is his shift for the first half of the night.

Having grown up in the north, the cold wind chilled him to the bone.

Today is the most important festival for the people of the whole country, and the whole country is in a state of peace and harmony. Only these soldiers know that it's not like that at all.

Many troops have already completed their mobilization.

These trainees are primarily trained in practical combat, and they are currently stationed on the country's northern border.

They have all their weapons and supplies ready. They are ready at any moment.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Aunt Wei visited her neighbors to exchange New Year's greetings.

Now, Aunt Wei gets along very well with her neighbors.

Everyone knew this family was not to be trifled with, but they didn't bully anyone. Gradually, everyone started to get along with Aunt Wei.

We agreed on this in the second year of junior high: today we'd go to Lao Han's house. On the third day, we'd go to Lao Liao's house.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, they all gathered at Song Yan's house.

When Song Yan visited Lao Han's house, he could tell that Lao Han was extremely happy.

His children all came back for the Chinese New Year, bringing their families along, making it a very lively occasion.

Of his own children, only his youngest son was not transferred back; the other children didn't have to leave after the New Year.

Old Han said he never expected he could live such a good life.

Old Han insisted that Song Yan bring all the children along.

Old Han's children all call Song Yan "Junior Sister," and they all prepared large red envelopes for Yueyue and her brothers. They were also sincerely grateful to Song Yan.

When they arrived at Lao Liao's house, Yueyue and her siblings had already received plenty of red envelopes...

It wasn't until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year that visits between relatives and friends stopped.

Yueyue placed all the red envelopes containing her and her younger brother's money in front of her mother.

"Mom, you've given out so many red envelopes, do you still have money left?"

"Should I give you all the red envelopes my brother and I gave you?" Yueyue said, frowning as she spoke, clearly feeling the pinch.

Song Yan thought Yueyue was already very sensible. "I'll keep your brothers' red envelopes for them, but you can keep yours for yourself!"

"Really? Mom! You're so great! I can buy lots of things!" Yueyue spun around in circles several times.

This kid has never lacked money, so why is he so happy? Song Yan had a gut feeling that something was wrong.
