Because they had to detour through the southern province and then return to Beijing from there, Zhou Huiyu and her family had to leave in just a couple of days. Gu Shaoyong said that he and his wife couldn't spend the New Year with their daughter, and since he had never spent time with her before, he gave Yun Duo a 'big' red envelope.
How big is the red envelope?
A full twelve hundred yuan!
Gu Shaoyong gave her a smaller amount because he considered that Yun Duo was a young child living in the countryside, and it wouldn't be good or safe for her to have too much money on her.
Even so, Zhou Huiyu still felt the red envelope was too small. In her words, in the capital, Gu Shaoyong's expenses for just one meal would be more than that. It was only after Gu Shaoyong explained that they only had one daughter, Yunduo, and that all their things would belong to Yunduo in the future, and that giving her a New Year's gift was just a way to express their joy, that Zhou Huiyu stopped complaining.
Of course, these words were spoken privately by the couple before Yunduo arrived, and Yunduo was unaware of them.
So, when Yunduo received the red envelope, she was quite startled.
"This...this is too much...I don't need this much New Year's money." Yun Duo held the red envelope, feeling unusually hot in her hand.
After all, this world is different from her original world. Farmers here don't earn much money all year round, and the average worker in the city earns around twenty yuan. Her 1,200 yuan... has to be considered as hundreds of thousands in the previous world?
Do you parents give your children New Year's money like this?
Okay... forgive Yun Duo. Really, she was just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. During Chinese New Year, a few hundred or a thousand yuan in a red envelope was already considered very good, so...
"It's not much, not much. It's only because you're in the village now that you have money but nowhere to spend it that it seems like a lot. If you go to a big city, it'll just be a few clothes, two meals, or maybe two watches. It's really not much. It's just for you to have some pocket money. If you really need anything, just ask Gu Wu. He doesn't have any money."
"To be honest, I originally wanted to buy your grandparents a watch or something to thank them for their love and care for you, but I thought about it and realized that if I bought it now, I wouldn't have a reason to give it to them... So, I was thinking, why don't you go and buy them something?"
"Here's what we'll do: find a chance to go to the city sometime. Let Gu Wu take you. Buy whatever you like, for yourself and for your grandparents. Buy whatever you want. I may not be good at much else, but I've made some money these past two years. You can spend it however you like."
Well……
Yun Duo was speechless for a moment before saying, "No need, the New Year's money you gave me is already enough..." The problem is, she doesn't know where to put so much money. If she were to buy something that is obviously valuable... she really doesn't know how to explain the origin of these things to her grandparents.
Could she say that it fell from the sky?
Thinking about it, Yun Duo subconsciously shook her head.
Zhou Huiyu smiled and offered Yun Duo a suggestion: "You can buy the things. When the time comes, you can tell your grandfather that this is from the town... ah, no, this is from a lady who came to the town from the city to recuperate. She got better after eating your royal jelly, so you bought it to thank her. What do you think of saying it like that?"
"Moreover, it's not exactly a lie. Ever since I ate the royal jelly you brought me, I can feel myself getting healthier and healthier."
