San Tiao was holding a pile of red envelopes, his face flushed and his eyes sparkling with praise. He felt that these were enough, so he didn't bother looking for more. He simply climbed onto the table and opened the red envelopes.

The other children gathered around to watch, filled with envy. Liu Tiao was practically envious. He'd originally found seven, the most he'd ever found. Now, it looked like his three brothers had more than seven in their hands...

Under the gazes of many, San Tiao began to open the red envelopes. He had grabbed seven red envelopes, each worth ten cents, which made seventy cents. Add to that the four twenty-cent red envelopes he had found earlier, and he had one and a half yuan.

San Tiao was quite satisfied with this number, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. He tilted his round head back, spun around, and finally looked at his mother and laughed, "Hehe."

"Ahhh~" Jiu Tiao, who was held in Cheng Zhenzhu's arms, thought she was smiling at him, and her smile suddenly melted away. Her eyes narrowed, and her feet swung happily. When she saw her brother San Tiao coming over, her little hands clapped happily.

"Mom, I'll keep it for you." San Tiao pulled Jiu Tiao's little hand and, as usual, handed the money to his mother. Although he had started school in the second half of last year, he didn't have much to spend money on. He had snacks at home, and no toys he was particularly interested in. It was better to let his mother take care of it. She even said she would pay interest...

"Okay, Mom is keeping track of the numbers for you. Including this time, the three of us have saved a lot of money... Mom will do the math, adding ten cents in interest, the three of us have a total of three dollars and forty cents." Cheng Zhenzhu touched the three soft round heads and put the money away.

Speaking of which, San Tiao is really good at saving money. He was quite lucky in finding red envelopes this time. Compared with the deposits of the other Tiaos, his current amount is far ahead.

The seventh one with the second largest deposit had more than two yuan, and the eighth one with the smallest deposit had three yuan, thirty-eight cents.

Seventh Tiao was actually quite good at saving, but since he'd just arrived and had only been saving for a year, the difference was quite significant. Eighth Tiao, who was at the bottom of the list, had only a measly two cents left in his account because his brothers had coaxed him into withdrawing money from her several times over the past year...

As for the accounts of other items, they are even more tight.

Ever since Liu Tiao was able to play with firecrackers, the New Year's money that he had previously kept so tightly was spent like water. After paying for the firecrackers and then for his second brother's escape expenses, the account balance was often zero.

At this moment, I have three cents left in my account, which is considered a relatively optimistic situation...

"That's amazing!" Little Tiger couldn't help but give two thumbs up when he heard three yuan and forty cents. He always spent his New Year's money as soon as he got it, but his three younger brothers actually saved so much!

When Er Tiao heard that San Tiao had 3.4 yuan, he suddenly remembered the "huge sum of 1 cent" he had saved with great effort. Adding it to the three 1 cent red envelopes he had just found, it was just enough to cover the change for San Tiao.

Compared to that, it's pretty miserable. But playing with firecrackers is really fun...

"Ke ke ke, cha cha~" While some Tiao and Ni were marveling at the huge sum of three dollars and forty cents, the short little deer was already having a blast looking for red envelopes. He stretched his short legs to take a look everywhere and even pushed a chair to go to a higher place.

Last year at this time, Xiaolu was still being held in his arms, crying and whimpering, not knowing how to do anything. This year, he's already playing behind his brothers, and he's really into it. But, he still hasn't received a single red envelope...

Little Tiger, rejoining the red envelope hunt, felt sorry for his sister and gave her one. Of course, it was the smallest, a dime. He found three red envelopes: two containing two dime coins and one containing a dime. He kept the two dime for himself.

When Xiaolu received the red envelope from her brother, she naturally held it in her hands, said "Xia Xie Xie" happily, and bowed, saying that her mother had just taught her the New Year's greeting. "Wash your face, good~"

"Okay, okay." Xiaohu held his sister's soft little hand and replied to her with something a little strange.

Sanni, who is also a younger sister, immediately looked over and stared at the red envelope in Xiaohuzi's hand. The meaning was self-evident.

Little Tiger pretended not to see it, but couldn't pretend any longer, so he said, "Sanni, go find it yourself! Aren't you amazing? You found one in no time..."

Isn’t it that she can’t find it? If she doesn’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me! Sanni was very angry and went to sulk alone again.

......

Finally, after a fierce competition, the 1973 Red Envelope Hunting Game came to an end. Low-key Seven Strips, who received 1.6 yuan, took first place, followed by Three Strips, who received 1.5 yuan, and Eight Strips, who came in third.

Yi Tiao and the others were very happy for Ba Tiao, clapping their hands and celebrating with the few dimes they held. Liu Tiao, who came in fourth, was both happy and sad. He was happy that Ba Tiao had one and a half yuan, but sad that he wasn't first...

"One dollar is also a lot of money!" Yatiao comforted his brother Liutiao who seemed a little depressed.

"Yeah! What's there to be unhappy about? One dollar is a huge sum of money! You can buy a lot of firecrackers with it!" Er Tiao echoed.

"You don't understand..." Liu Tiao shook his head, very worried. Before starting, he had vowed to find the most!

"Why don't you understand? Give me the money and I'll buy the firecrackers. I guarantee you'll be happy." Er Tiao smiled.

Liu Tiao looked at his second brother, then gave the money to his first brother and said, "Big brother, I found this money with great difficulty. Can you not charge me for the trip?"

"Okay." Yitiao nodded. Since the money was high this time, I wouldn't charge a travel fee.

Liu Tiao saw that his big brother agreed, and turned to wave to Ba Tiao, "Bai Tiao, hurry up, take the money and give it to big brother!"

Ba Tiao lowered his head and pulled out a banknote from the red envelope. "One big coin, how about exchanging it for two cannons?" He thought for a moment and decided that one cannon was too little, not enough to play with.

"No, you're still young and can only play with one." Nijo refused righteously.

"That's fine," Yajo sighed softly. Considering how he'd always eaten small portions last year, giving him a firecracker to play with seemed like a nice touch...

"Ba Tiao, although you are still young and can only play with one now, when you grow up and become a man, you can play with many..." Liu Tiao did not forget to give Ba Tiao a red date, so as not to make his little brother suffer.

"Yeah! Wait until I grow up to be a man!" Bajo nodded happily, indicating that he felt comforted.

Cheng Fugui and his friends were playing cards and looking at the kids, they were so happy.

This is the food chain! Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and the shrimp are happy...
