"And Lu Chen's too." Jiang Mingjing handed five red envelopes to Lu Chen.
"Thank you, Dad." Shen Qiaoyue accepted the red envelope, beaming from ear to ear. "Happy New Year, Dad, and wishing you good health."
Lu Chen took the red envelope and simply thanked him, saying, "Thank you."
Liu Xinlan and Xu Qianli each had five.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."
There was nothing Jiang Mingjing could do; he couldn't very well say that his older brother and sister-in-law hadn't given Xu Qianli and Liu Xinlan anything.
"And Lu He's too, give her the red envelopes when she gets back." Jiang Mingjing had prepared all these red envelopes when he came.
Shen Qiaoyue took Lu He's red envelope and said, "I thank Dad on Lu He's behalf."
"I've also prepared some small red envelopes for the children in the family compound." Jiang Mingjing prepared several red envelopes containing 50 cents each.
The point of celebrating the Lunar New Year is to have fun and get good luck.
“The families in this compound have taken good care of you, so as an elder, I should reciprocate,” Jiang Mingjing explained.
“The children are all in the yard. Let me take you out to see them. There are so many children in this residential compound. We can’t afford to be short of red envelopes!” Xu Qianli couldn’t help but tease.
He hadn't even had a chance to warm the red envelopes before handing all five to Liu Xinlan.
"Thirty red envelopes should be enough, right?" This wasn't Jiang Mingjing's first time visiting the family compound, and there weren't many children in the compound.
"You've prepared so much!" Xu Qianli was quite surprised when he heard this. Jiang Mingjing went back to his room, took out a bag, and went out with Xu Qianli.
Looking at Xu Qianli like this, Liu Xinlan shook her head helplessly!
"Happy New Year!" Liu Xinlan took out the red envelopes she had prepared for the children from her pocket. "I only prepared three, one for the first and second New Years, and one for Lu He. Since you're all married now, I won't prepare any more."
Shen Qiaoyue took the red envelope, raised an eyebrow and smiled, and asked, "Can I open it?"
"You wish!" Liu Xinlan refused to let Shen Qiaoyue open it.
While the two were chatting, Lu Chen handed his red envelope to Shen Qiaoyue, and then took the bowls to the kitchen to wash them.
Shen Qiaoyue said, "I'm managing the red envelopes you gave for the Lunar New Year and the Lunar New Year on your behalf. I just want to take a look!"
"Don't open it!" Liu Xinlan said to Shen Qiaoyue again.
"I want to open it!" Shen Qiaoyue exclaimed curiously!
Liu Xinlan sighed helplessly and said, "I can't tell anyone, after all, I still have to give money to Jiansheng and Xiaosi, Shulan's family, and Tuantuan's family."
After receiving permission, Shen Qiaoyue immediately opened it to read.
"Xinlan, so much?" Shen Qiaoyue opened it and saw that it was a 100-yuan note, and the three red envelopes contained 30 yuan!
“I am the child’s aunt, so I should definitely give this much. This is something that Xu Qianli and I discussed together. The amount of money I give to the family members and children is not large, only 50 cents each. This is already a lot, enough to buy several kilograms of rice.”
Liu Xinlan raised an eyebrow and said to Shen Qiaoyue.
Looking at the red envelope, Shen Qiaoyue excitedly hugged Liu Xinlan and said, "Xinlan, my dear sister-in-law, I love you so much!"
"Hey! Now you know how good I am, right? I told you, next time you make dumplings, you have to save some for me. I prepared such a big red envelope for Lu He, and every time she makes dumplings, she never saves any for me!" Liu Xinlan missed Lu He's dumplings and couldn't help but tease her. "Lu He has left home so many times this year, I haven't seen her in so long!"
"Lu He has already passed her nursing license exam and is now a nurse at a major hospital. In addition, she needs to study hard to pass the medical license exam. Every time she has surgery, Aunt Wen lets her watch and learn from the sidelines."
Thinking about how much Lu He had changed in just one year, Shen Qiaoyue couldn't help but tease him.
While talking, she couldn't help but open the children's red envelopes to take a look.
"My God, fifty yuan?" Shen Qiaoyue stared in shock at the bulging red envelope.
He looked up and met Liu Xinlan's gaze. This red envelope was absolutely huge, unprecedented!
"It must be Uncle Jiang giving it to the New Year's Eve and the Lunar New Year's Eve!" Liu Xinlan glanced at the red envelope again.
Five "Great Unity" bills—what does that even mean?!
"Let me see!" Shen Qiaoyue continued to open one of the red envelopes, a thinner one containing twenty yuan.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Liu Xinlan in disbelief.
"We've struck it rich!" That was Shen Qiaoyue's first reaction.
"Giving so much, could they be bankrupt?" Liu Xinlan anxiously opened her own red envelope, which was exactly the same as Shen Qiaoyue's.
The minimum is twenty, and the maximum is fifty.
"Big cities are just different!" Liu Xinlan exclaimed, barely suppressing her admiration.
Fifty per person, how much money must that have cost?
“That’s fifty yuan per person, and there are seven of us, so that’s three hundred and fifty yuan!” Liu Xinlan calculated that three hundred and fifty yuan was more than two months’ salary.
I can't even imagine it!
Two of them were fifty, and Shen Qiaoyue happily curled up the corners of her mouth.
These two red envelopes for Chinese New Year are enough for her to earn a month's salary!
I didn't dare open any more of them; the red envelopes were indeed a bit too big.
Shen Yuanyi and Jiang Mingjing's monthly salary seems to be over four hundred, so they probably give more.
"Thank you, Grandpa Jiang!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Jiang!"
Jiang Mingjing handed out red envelopes to the children in the family compound, and the children happily thanked him.
After the fireworks ended, everyone went home to sleep.
The eldest child slept soundly, while the youngest child was startled awake by the fireworks and began to cry incessantly.
Shen Qiaoyue then carried Xiao Nian out of the room and into the yard to comfort him.
Upon waking up, Xiao Nian wanted to drink formula. Lu Chen prepared the formula, and after drinking it, Xiao Nian stared wide-eyed at his mother.
