Chapter 194 A Red Envelope



What she said makes a lot of sense.

"Amazing, amazing, you're right!"

If that's the case, then you don't really need to go to university, right?

After all, the purpose of going to university is to earn more money.

"You're already making a lot of money, why waste your time going to university?"

Lin Shih-Han found her older brother's thought process a bit unbelievable.

"What did you study in college, brother?"

Zhu Yuanqing: "Civil engineering!"

Lin Shih-Han: ...

"oh!"

Zhu Yuanqing: "Oh, that's it?"

Shouldn't you express some feelings or thoughts?

Lin Shih-Han shook her head.

"I never went to university, so what do I have to be sentimental about?"

Zhu Yuanqing: "What you said makes sense, but something feels off."

His words made the whole family laugh.

The room was instantly filled with the festive spirit of the Lunar New Year.

The Lunar New Year is a time for family reunion, what a wonderful day! After finally getting through midnight, it's already six or seven in the morning.

Lin Shih-han sat up straight with a start and blinked twice.

I opened my eyes and found that everyone else had fallen asleep.

Fortunately, she wasn't the only one asleep.

Seeing that she was awake, everyone else opened their eyes as well, and the first thing they said was...

Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Chinese New Year!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people greet each other with "Happy New Year".

Lin Shihhan's first year after transmigrating was truly memorable, spent in the Zhu family.

After they finished paying their own New Year's visits, other people came to their house to offer their New Year's greetings.

Zhu's mother specially gave Lin Shih-han several red envelopes.

"Take these red envelopes. Give them to any children who come to wish you a Happy New Year."

Anyway, there wasn't much money in it, just two cents, that's the gist of it.

Lin Shih-han was speechless. At this time, two cents could buy two pieces of candy, which was not a small amount.

No, that's not right. The key point is...

"A lot of children will be coming later?"

Zhu Yuanqing shrugged and carefully put the handful of red envelopes away.

"Just wait, your little kids will be here soon."

Since they're all neighbors, that's all there is to it.

It's the Lunar New Year, after all, we just want to have a festive atmosphere!

Hearing him say that, Lin Shih-han became serious.

Sure enough, a group of child soldiers rushed over with loud cries a short while later.

They offered New Year's greetings to them.

"Brother Zhu, Second Brother Zhu, Sister Zhu, Happy New Year!"

"Why is it the older sister this year?"

I think it was my brother last year?

"But my sister is prettier than my brother!"

She liked hearing Lin Shih-han say that, just for that one sentence.

"A small red envelope for each person!"

"oh oh--!

"It's great to get a red envelope!"

When the children saw that they could receive red envelopes, they danced with joy, saying thank you and wishing each other good fortune.

This is the first time in Lin Shih-han's life that she has found Chinese New Year to be so much fun.

She thought it was over after one child left, but a little while later another group of children came running over.

In this way, she had given out most of the red envelopes in her hand, leaving only four or five, which she gave to the two brothers, Zhu Yuanqing and Zhu Yuanhe.

Zhu Yuanqing and Zhu Yuanhe, holding the two-cent red envelopes in their hands, were both amused and exasperated.

"Little sister, this red envelope you gave is too big!"

Lin Shih-Han is happy.

"It's good enough that you're giving it to us, why are you being picky about the size?"

Zhu Yuanhe immediately said:

"Yes, yes, even a penny from my little sister is a token of love."

Lin Shih-Han discovered that her second brother was better at talking than her eldest brother.

It was always the second brother who smoothed things over for the eldest brother.

Good heavens, could it be that even in the womb, the second brother deliberately let the eldest brother come out first?

Lin Shihhan couldn't help but have this suspicion, mainly because her second brother and eldest brother had somewhat different levels of intelligence.

After Zhu Yuanhe said that, Zhu Yuanqing realized what was going on.

"Yes, I'll be happy no matter how much my little sister gives me."

Lin Shih-Han didn't care whether he was happy or not; on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Shih-Han had a pretty good time anyway.

It was truly a novel experience.

Fortunately, we weren't at the Li family's house at this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been so happy.

Li suggested that the Li family spend the first day of the Lunar New Year at his maternal grandparents' house.

Because the Li family's house had been razed to make way for a toilet, he had nowhere to go back to.

As for Granny Li, she was on the island with her daughter.

Her son-in-law was away on a mission and wouldn't be back for more than half a year, so she stayed with her daughter.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Shih-Han watched TV with the Zhu family, then played cards and set off firecrackers.

It can be summed up in two words: not even being happy.

Until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Shih-han stared blankly at a plate of steamed and fried meatballs that Zhu's mother had brought out.

I don't know whether I should put down the chopsticks in my hand.

She was actually a little conflicted. The fried meatballs were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

After being steamed, the crispy outer skin becomes like...

Feeling completely paralyzed, she picked up one and tasted it. Sure enough, it wasn't very tasty, not as good as freshly fried ones.

Then, why are there still dumplings? It's already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she remembers that the dumplings should have been eaten by now.

"And dumplings?"

Zhu Mule.

"I had some leftover filling, so I kneaded some more dough. I kneaded too much dough, so I chopped up some more filling."

"That way, I've already made enough dumplings for tomorrow."

Lin Shih-han was speechless.

Give your mother a thumbs up.

I'm impressed!

Mom, why didn't you call me when you were making dumplings?
