"Let's eat first before we go."
The old lady tried to persuade him to stay.
Wan Qingliu waved her hand: "I have things to do at home, I'm leaving first!"
"Wait!" The old lady came over and stuffed a few red envelopes into Wan Qingliu's hands.
"There are two little ones from your eldest family, the second oldest family's daughter, and the two from Qingping's family. Here are the red envelopes for these little brats. Take them."
Wan Qingliu was stunned for a moment, then put the red envelope in his pocket.
"I thank Mom for them."
The old lady said: "Grandma, what's the point of thanking me?"
…
When Hua Xianghong returned to her parents' home, Hua Wanchi gave her a pearl bracelet.
She was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, thank you Chi Bao!"
She didn't take it too seriously. After all, Hua Wanchi was just a child and she didn't know where he got these fake pearls from.
But it did look pretty, so she put it on her hand.
Hua Xianghong took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Hua Wanchi's pocket: "You gave your aunt a gift, so I'll give you a red envelope too. It's a matter of reciprocity!"
Hua Wanchi smiled as he took the red envelope: "Thank you, auntie!"
Hua Xianghong turned around and didn't see Xiaoyouzi and Xiangxiang: "Hey, your two sisters?"
Hua Wanchi: "They followed my aunt to grandma's house!"
Now there are three adults in the family: Hua Xuguo, Hua Jingmin, and Old Hua Tou, and one child, Hua Wanchi.
Zhou Yujiao and Zhou Baozhen went to Old Zhou's house together, but the two houses were close, so they returned in less than an hour.
Hua Xuguo and Hua Jingmin each took out two red envelopes and gave them to the two brothers of the Chen family.
The two of them said with a bitter taste, "It was better when we didn't split up. We didn't have to give out red envelopes, so we saved a lot of money!"
Hua Xianghong smiled and said, "You guys are unhappy, but the kids are happy. It would be great if they could get more New Year's money! Don't you agree, Chi Chi?"
Hua Wanchi nodded: "I think what my aunt said makes sense!"
Hua Xianghong laughed out loud.
Wan Qingliu took Hua Qingping home. As soon as they got home, Hua Qingping saw the Chen brothers and smiled.
"Xiaozhi, Xiaoyi, how are your studies?"
Chen Zhengzhi and Chen Zhengyi were very happy to receive the red envelopes, but their faces immediately fell when they heard this.
Isn't this just bringing up something that has nothing to do with the topic?
Seeing their expressions, Hua Qingping knew what kind of bears they were, and took the opportunity to show off:
"Oh my, Youyou got second place in the final exam. She always ranks first or second in the class. She's worthy of being my daughter!"
After saying that, he took out two red envelopes and said, "Here, I'll give you two red envelopes to show your talent. Hope you can get good grades next year!"
The two brothers took the red envelope. They were reluctant to give up the money inside, but they felt extremely heartbroken.
Wan Qingliu couldn't help laughing. "Chi Chi is still number one, and she's not proud of herself. What are you proud of? What's that saying? Humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind. Don't you agree?"
The two brothers immediately agreed: "That's right! Uncle, don't be too proud!"
After saying that, the two of them didn't want to hear what hurtful words Hua Qingping would say next, so they ran to the table and started eating snacks.
There was still a lot of food on the table.
Oranges, apples, raisins, melon seeds and peanut candy.
Take whatever you want to eat, and if it’s gone, just add more, it will never be too little.
In the evening, Wang Jingxia also took her children home.
On the fourth day of the New Year, Wan Qingliu called the eldest brother and his family back.
After lunch, Wan Qingliu took out a camera.
"It's a rare opportunity for us to get together, so this is a good opportunity to take a family photo."
Hua Qingping was shocked: "Mom, where did you get the camera?"
Wan Qingliu: "I bought it. The photos taken with this thing are in color. Aren't they better than black and white photos?"
A color photo camera, how expensive is that!
Hua Qingping couldn't help but say, "Mom, please save some money. Don't spend all your pension!"
Hua Xuguo said with a playful smile: "That's right, Mom, since you've used up your retirement money, shouldn't we return your share of the money to you?"
Wan Qingliu's face darkened: "Why should I worry about you?"
This camera is not newly purchased, and it is not even a model of this era.
Anyway, my family is full of country bumpkins who have never seen a camera before, so they won’t be able to recognize it if I take it out.
The cameras of later generations have clear colors, which are much better than the photos of this era.
Our ancestors could just develop the photos and put them in an album. What precious 79 years of real images!
Wan Qingliu arranged the family's standing positions, and then when everything was settled, he ran back to his own position.
Everyone immediately smiled.
After waiting for a while, Wan Qingliu looked at the camera.
"Alright! Do you guys want to take a photo alone?"
“Yes!”
"Of course!"
As long as there is enough storage space in the camera, you can keep taking pictures without having to worry about running out of film like in this day and age.
Anyway, Wan Qingliu took a lot of photos and became more and more interested as he took more.
"Mom, when can the photos be developed?"
"Just wait seven days."
Photos can be developed at any time, but they cannot be exposed.
Before the Lantern Festival was over, Hua Qingping and his wife took Xiangxiang to Beijing.
"Mom, when the holidays come, why don't you bring Youyou to Beijing to play?"
The courtyard in Beijing is so big, it can’t be just the two of them looking at it, they have to call their family members to show off!
Wan Qingliu: "I understand!"
Hua Jingmin and Zhou Baozhen were about to leave.
When Wan Qingliu saw Hua Jingmin, he suddenly had an idea.
"Old Four, now we can do business, what are your ideas?"
Hua Jingmin was full of questions: "Mom, what do you want to say?"
"Don't you want to earn some money for your child's milk powder?"
"Mom, do you have any ideas?"
Hua Jingmin knew that many people had gone into business, and the first batch of people who tried had made a lot of money.
He also tried to tinker with it, but it didn't work.
The more Wan Qingliu looked at Hua Jingmin, the more satisfied he became.
The fourth brother is skilled in martial arts and very strong. He can go out to protect her safety and do hard labor.
It’s not safe to go out these days. I heard there are a lot of thieves and robbers outside. Some time ago, I heard that someone was so brazen that he even robbed the police!
"Baozhen is pregnant, you take care of her first."
Wan Qingliu thought about Zhou Baozhen, who was pregnant and had to live alone and go to school, which might be inconvenient.
Let Hua Jingmin take care of Zhou Baozhen first, and wait until the baby is born.
Wan Qingliu's own fighting ability is not low either. After all, he has been baptized by the spiritual spring water and has learned martial arts with his daughter-in-law.
Hua Jingmin thought about it and felt that Baozhen was indeed more important.
"Well, let's wait until Baozhen gives birth to the baby."
After a while, he couldn't help but be curious: "Mom, do you really want to do business?"
Wan Qingliu glanced at him and said, "What a great opportunity to make a fortune now! If you don't grab it, you're a bastard!"
After a while, she decided to make a trip to Guangdong Province.
During the Lantern Festival, Hua Jingmin and Zhou Baozhen also left.
There are still only the old couple left at home, Hua Xuguo and his wife, Hua Wanchi, and little Youzi.
After eating the dumplings, Hua Wanchi’s hard study life was about to begin again.
