While they were waiting, their mouths were not idle. After the dishes on the round table were cleared away, a pile of snacks and candies were placed on the table.
There are winter melon candy, orange candy, lard candy, mung bean cake, bubble gum... and the kind of biscuits and chocolates that are only available in the county town, plus all kinds of melon seeds and peanuts, and homemade brown sugar blocks, too many to count.
The children were all very happy. In the past, they could only envy other children, but this year, others envied them.
Some of these candies and snacks they probably haven’t even seen before.
Besides, you can eat as much as you want!
Because it was Chinese New Year, the grandparents couldn't scold them, so they took the opportunity to eat more. So, even though they were already very full, the four kids still stuffed snacks and candies into their stomachs without stopping for a moment.
Even junior high school students like Shen Zhishu and Shen Zhili were eating like children at this moment, and soon the table was piled with all kinds of wrapping papers and melon seed shells.
Fubao's mouth was not idle either. He ate with his brothers, and his cheeks and belly were bulging, just like a greedy little squirrel.
Huo Jinxi was not as greedy as them, so he just watched Fubao eat and helped her peel the candy wrappers and melon seeds.
Several adults wrapped red envelopes in the inner room. When they came out, they saw a group of greedy cats and were a little amused.
It's OK that Fubao likes to eat these snacks and candies when she's young, but why are her four brothers so greedy? It seems that they are tired of the hard times in the past and there is nothing good to eat during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing the adults coming out, the children immediately stopped, turned around, looked at the adults with a smile, and shouted auspicious words together, "Grandpa and grandma, dad and mom, I wish you a happy new year, and may you make a fortune. Give me the red envelopes!"
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw them acting funny.
She couldn't bear to scold Fu Bao, so she scolded the four boys, "How can you ask for New Year's money in person? Where did you learn this? Aren't you ashamed? You can only shout at home, don't do this outside, it's embarrassing!"
Shen Zhile stuck out his tongue mischievously, "Grandma, didn't the radio just say that? We learned it from it! Don't worry, we won't tell anyone outside, we'll only tell it at home. Grandma, how much is the New Year's money this year, hehe~"
Seeing their expectant faces, and Fubao's expectant look was so adorable, Mrs. Shen couldn't help laughing and took out a few red envelopes from her pocket. Each of them was bulging, and it felt like there was a lot of money in them.
The other four adults also took out the red envelopes they had wrapped and gave them to Fubao first and then to the other children.
Fubao was very happy when he got five red envelopes. The dimples on both sides of his cheeks were deeply sunken from smiling. His two little hands nimbly opened the red envelope given by Old Mrs. Shen and took out a thick stack of ten-yuan bills from it. He counted them and found that there were actually ten of them.
Ten of them, that’s a hundred bucks!
Seriously, how many rural kids can receive so much money during the Chinese New Year?
For them, one hundred yuan is enough to buy whatever they want!
But as for Fubao, Mrs. Shen alone gave her one hundred yuan, plus the ones given by old man Shen Jianlin and Lin Xiujuan, it was a total of four hundred yuan!
The red envelopes for the boys were much smaller than Fubao's, each containing ten one-yuan notes. Four red envelopes equaled forty yuan, but they were still very happy.
The red envelope was only one dollar before, but it has increased tenfold this year. How can I not be happy?
