Zhao Hui said to Feng Xiaomei, "Remember not to leave in a hurry after dinner. You can hold the child and ask Feng Mian and his wife and Feng Xiaojing for New Year's money. They make extra money every year, so it must be a lot. With the money they make in a year, each of them can give Chan'er at least ten yuan, and three people can give thirty yuan."
Feng Mian: "..." Am I crazy? Give me ten dollars?
"My two uncles and aunts are poorer, so you should give them three or five dollars, right?"
"And Feng Xinliang, he's my grandpa, if not ten dollars, you should at least give him five dollars."
"Your grandparents also have money. They live in a house with a fan in summer and make soles in winter. They save all their money. They are old and have nowhere to live. Who else should they give it to if not the younger generation? They can even take it with them into the coffin."
“How much can they give?”
"I think the old couple should give at least five dollars each, so for two people it's ten dollars."
Feng Xiaomei was delighted, "That would add up to dozens of dollars."
"yes."
Feng Mian exclaimed after hearing this, wow! These two people have already arranged everything for their entire family.
It seems that everyone else is a fool, only they are smart.
Feng Mian had already made up his mind. He would go back and tell them that the New Year's money for Chan'er should not be given to Zhao Huilinnu, but to Feng Xinliang to save for Chan'er.
As for ten dollars? You must be overthinking. Ten dollars is a lot of money at this time.
Listening to the conversation between the two made her feel sick and she couldn't listen any more.
Feng Mian knocked on the door.
The two people's voices also stopped abruptly.
Zhao Hui came to open the door. After opening the door, she saw Feng Mian standing outside the door. She was very embarrassed.
I don't know if she heard what I said just now.
"Hey, Mianmian is here. You guys are busy today, so why did you come here alone? Don't worry, we will come over early in the evening."
Haha, she thought I was here to invite her to have New Year's Eve dinner at her home.
Feng Mian sneered and said calmly, "You misunderstood. I heard that you were planning to have New Year's Eve dinner at my house, so I came to tell you something. You and my uncle are divorced, and Sister Xiaomei is married again. It's not appropriate to go back to your parents' home for the New Year. Our family is having New Year's Eve dinner tonight, so don't come."
The two of them changed their expressions on the spot.
Feng Mian smiled faintly, "What's with that expression? Am I wrong? Aunt Zhao has already divorced my uncle, so how can she have New Year's Eve dinner with her ex-husband's family? Right?"
Zhao Hui gritted her teeth and said sternly, "What about you? You are just a granddaughter, why should you have New Year's Eve dinner with our family?"
"Pay attention to your words. It's my grandpa's family, not yours. You're right. I have my own family now, so I shouldn't have New Year's Eve dinner with my grandpa's family. But who told me to take care of my grandparents? They live with me, and not only do they have to eat New Year's Eve dinner with me, but even my uncle has to bring his son and daughter-in-law to eat with them. What should I do? There's no other way. This is tradition. As a son, I have to celebrate the New Year with my whole family and my parents."
In this era, it is normal for a family to have several children, both sons and daughters, and the tradition is that the son and daughter-in-law live with their parents.
Zhao Hui had nothing to say and just stared at Feng Mian.
At this time Feng Xiaomei said again: "Since Xiaojing wants to do it, why can't I do it? I am also a daughter."
Feng Mian smiled and said, "You're married, have you forgotten? When Sister Xiaojing gets married in the future, she will definitely not come back to celebrate the New Year with us."
“But I’m divorced.”
"Even if you're divorced, it doesn't matter. If you go back to your parents' home for the New Year, your husband's family will be in big trouble next year." Feng Mian smiled faintly and looked at Zhao Hui and said, "That's what my aunt said, right?"
When Feng Mian's mother got divorced and lived with Feng Mian, her grandparents wanted them to go home and celebrate the New Year together.
Zhao Hui didn't say anything to Feng Mian's face, but went to find Feng Mian's mother in private and said that she was a married woman and it was unlucky for her to go home for the New Year. If she went back to her parents' home for the New Year, her parents' home would be unlucky in the coming year.
Feng Mian's mother finally declined and spent the New Year alone with Feng Mian.
