Chapter 154 There is no free lunch in the world
After dinner.
Grandma Luo silently took out a handbag from under the coffee table and cleared her throat, "Ahem."
Everyone turned to look and saw her take out a stack of red envelopes from her bag, and they couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
Oh~ She is coming, she is coming with lucky money!!!
For a big family like theirs, what they care about is never the amount of money involved, but the sense of ceremony.
No matter how powerful your status is outside, when you return home there are still people who treat you as a child.
As long as parents are alive, life still has a place to go.
Grandma Luo looked at the group of gleaming-eyed 'hungry wolves' with amusement, "As usual, line up by age first. The food here is all the same anyway."
She has always treated everyone equally and given each child the same amount of New Year's money.
Even in the first year after Luo Yunjin was born, the amount of New Year's money he received was the same as that of Luo Chenfeng, who was already the father of four children.
Luo Yunyan and the other two were dragged to the end with confused looks on their faces. Looking at the formation, Grandma Luo frowned slightly.
Just when Jiang Ziang and Jiang Yining were at a loss and thought they should leave, Grandma Luo spoke.
"Ningning should stand behind Yunxi, and Ziang should stand behind Nannan."
Jiang Ziang and Jiang Yining were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and obediently stood in their respective positions.
Luo Yunjin wailed with a look of despair, "Why am I standing at the back again? Grandma, please don't be so serious."
Grandma Luo looked at him with a half-smile, "If you don't want to be last in line, then tell your brothers to hurry up and find someone to marry and give you a little niece."
Anyway, she didn't want to urge him anymore. He didn't listen when she told him, and he didn't do what she told him. If he didn't do what she told him, what was the point of coming? Maybe this great-grandson would come earlier than the great-grandson.
But she doesn't push, she can let others push, hehe. This way she doesn't have to waste her breath and get angry.
The three people standing behind the young aunt of the Luo family suddenly shook for no reason, and turned around to look at Luo Yunjin. "You better be careful with your words, kid."
"Tsk, wait for them to get married? Then I might have to at least stand here..." Suddenly noticing those murderous gazes, Luo Yunjin was stuck and laughed dryly a few times.
"Haha, it's okay. I think it's good to stand here, haha. I'm the youngest, I'm proud, it's good, it's good..."
Grandma Luo rolled her eyes at him and started handing out red envelopes.
Luo Chenfeng, who was in the lead, patted his sleeves and pretended to straighten the collar of his home clothes.
He stretched out his hands to take the red envelope, "Oh, thank you, Mom and Dad! I wish you a happy new year, good health and longevity, peace and happiness, and may you always be eighteen years old!"
Grandma Luo slapped him in annoyance and said, "That last sentence is unnecessary. You're almost fifty years old, but you're still acting like a child."
Others also took the red envelopes and said some auspicious words.
After Grandma Luo distributed the red envelopes, it was Su Wanru and Chu Manting's turn.
After one round, everyone had several red envelopes in their hands.
After they finished distributing the red envelopes, Grandma Luo reminded them, "Don't forget to take the red envelopes upstairs first..."
"Put it under the pillow and open it after tonight." Everyone interrupted her in unison.
Grandma Luo's face was embarrassed, and she tried to make excuses for herself, "Go away, I was talking to Nannan and the other two, what does it have to do with you naughty monkeys!"
By the time they collected their New Year's money and went downstairs, the elders' card table had already been set up.
But! Why is there the 'well-behaved' Gu Shilin sitting next to him?!
Can anyone tell them what is going on?!
Even Luo Yunyan didn't react. The old man didn't tell her that he was coming.
Hearing the footsteps, Su Wanru didn't even turn her head and said, "He's coming down. Let's go out and play. Take Xiaolin with you."
Luo Yunche glanced at Gu Bailian coldly, "Why are you here on New Year's Eve instead of staying at home to celebrate the New Year?"
Gu Shilin smiled at him softly, "Aunt Su allowed me to come over tonight because she felt the Gu family was quiet. Don't worry, big brother, my grandfather agreed, but our family won't officially come to visit until tomorrow morning. I also brought a lot of fireworks, we can play together later."
I also brought a lot of fireworks.
Let's play together later.
Luo Yunche: The name of a plant.
How shameless! How shameless! Trying to make friends!
Luo Yunjin muttered softly, "You're talking like no one else has bought any fireworks."
Grandma Luo turned around and gave them a sidelong glance. "What are you standing here for? Can't Xiaolin come? Go out and play quickly. Don't disturb my luck at playing cards here."
Su Wanru and Chu Manting looked at each other and smiled with glee.
If the old lady hadn't asked her to do so, Su Wanru wouldn't have dared to call anyone to the old house.
Didn’t you see that the three big men next to them looked indignant but didn’t dare to say anything?
Hearing this, everyone curled their lips and walked out with the fireworks.
Gu Shilin walked at the back and took Luo Yunyan's hand as he wished.
Luo Yunyan jokingly whispered, "Of course, Mr. Gu, even the head of our family has openly shown his favoritism towards you."
"It's all thanks to my girlfriend that I have the honor of having the elders love me as well as my family." Gu Shilin pinched the little hand wrapped in his palm.
"Oh." Luo Yunyan cleared her throat, looking distressed.
"This blessing is not so easy to come by. There is no free lunch in the world. Mr. Gu should understand this principle, right?"
Gu Shilin saw what she was thinking at a glance, fortunately he came prepared.
He pulled out a long velvet gift box from the inner pocket of his windbreaker and placed it in Luo Yunyan's hand. "Of course I understand the reasoning. Could you please, Miss Luo, be flexible and allow me to continue to cling to your thigh?"
Luo Yunyan was stunned for a moment. She was just joking to tease him, but this old man actually prepared something?!
He looked at the box in his hand, then looked up at Gu Shilin, "What is this?"
"This is bribe money for currying favor with the powerful. Open it and take a look." Gu Shilin raised his chin towards the box.
Luo Yunyan opened the box and found a purple jade Buddha pendant with excellent water content, paired with a platinum necklace.
Tsk, it seems like a coincidence again this time.
Gu Shilin's deep voice came from my ears, "People outside say that I am a Buddhist, but no one knows that before I was with you, although I worshipped Buddha, I didn't believe in Buddhism."
"Now, if Buddha still exists, may he bless you, may everything go well for you, and may you always be at peace."
Luo Yunyan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes and smiled at him, "Help me put it on quickly."
"Okay." Gu Shilin smiled, picked up the pendant and put it on her slender neck.
Against the backdrop of purple, her skin appears even whiter than snow.
Gu Shilin's eyes darkened, and he forced himself to look away. He took out a red envelope from his pocket.
"And this, this is your New Year's money. I hope my Yanyan will be safe forever."
Gu Shilin secretly added in his heart: Peace is my wish, leave happiness to me.
I felt the thickness and thought it should be a bank card?
"Mr. Gu is really generous. I'll give you this big thigh." Luo Yunyan raised her eyebrows.
Gu Shilin patted her head and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Luo."
Luo Yunyan put the red envelope and gift box into her pocket and said, "Wait for me, I'll go upstairs first and come down soon."
After saying that, she ran upstairs without waiting for his answer.
I got a little early today because I was going out for a meal.
