When it comes to the concept of "money", the Pei family's children should understand it better than other children.
After all, other families don’t have parents who would be willing to let their children go out and sell things.
Pei Jianhui drank the sweet juice in the can of Coke and slowly opened the small red envelope. There were five one-dollar bills inside, which was really... a lot.
He took out five yuan and stuffed it into the inner pocket that Zhang Xiangyun had specially sewed for him on his jacket, then handed the empty red envelope to Ruan Niannian, "Aunt, I'm returning the empty red envelope to you."
The others also wisely took out their money and returned the empty red envelopes.
Ruan Niannian was impartial and gave five dollars to each child.
Red paper is expensive these days, and adults seldom use red paper when giving out New Year’s money.
During this short commotion, Ruan Niannian always felt that Pei Jianhui seemed to be hesitant to speak. Although he was only called a ten-year-old child after the New Year, he seemed more mature than the other children.
(To explain this question, it was said at first that Pei Jianhui was 8 years old, and then he was said to be 7 years old. In fact, this is the age in many rural areas, which is called the virtual age. The virtual age is one year older than the actual age. In some places, because people are born in winter, they are also two years older.)
The other children were all about to go out and play in the yard, so Pei Jianhui quickly said, "I'll be out in a minute. It's a bit cold. Can you lend me a scarf, auntie?"
Ruan Niannian had a lot of rabbit fur scarves and gloves that Zhang Xiangyun had made for her before. She nodded and went to take them.
Pei Jianhui followed and whispered behind her: "Aunt, when you go to school, will you take my mother with you?"
Zhang Xiangyun earned a lot during this period, and it was no problem for her to support him in school for many years. However, Pei Jianhui had a vague sense of crisis. If Ruan Niannian no longer wanted his mother, then his mother would have a very hard time in the future.
But Pei Jianhui also deeply understood one thing, that his mother was not necessary to Ruan Niannian, and whether to take her along depended entirely on whether Ruan Niannian was willing to promote her. He just didn't want to see his family getting further and further away from Ruan Niannian.
He wanted to be closer to his own light.
"This is not something you should consider." Ruan Niannian took the scarf and put it on him carefully. "Just study hard and work hard to become a college student in the future."
Pei Jianhui touched the warm scarf around his neck and nodded, "Yes, I will!"
Getting into university was his goal.
The young aunt still has expectations for him. Does she also hope that he will get better and better as he grows up?
Pei Jianhui didn't know, but he knew that only if he was good enough could Ruan Niannian notice him.
In the future, he will continue to score 100 and get first place!
After sending away the group of Pei family children, Xingxing and Diandian finally woke up. Diandian was woken up by Xingxing's kick. After waking up, she didn't cry, but pursed her lips, and then acted as if she didn't care about Xingxing.
Ruan Niannian, who was watching from the side, was almost melted by the cuteness.
"Wife, I heard that the one born later is the older one, so Diandian is the older brother, right?"
Ruan Niannian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just pamper Xingxing."
How could she not know what he was thinking? Favoring girls over boys, bah!
Poor little Dot, so well-behaved yet no one loves him. Ruan Niannian felt even softer on her heart and skillfully changed the child's diaper and put on new clothes for him.
The two children are wearing the same clothes, which look particularly festive in red.
"Let's go out and wait for our brothers and sisters to come and wish us a happy new year."
The whole family wore new clothes and sat in the hall waiting for the children who brought good fortune to come.
Diandian sat in Ruan Niannian's arms, grabbing half of a raw sweet potato and biting it hard, while the other half was in Xingxing's hand.
They now have four baby teeth. Originally, Ruan Niannian didn't plan to let them eat these hard things, but Pei Yuanzheng said that it is good for baby teeth to exercise, and even if they break, they can grow again.
She didn't quite agree with it, but she thought it made sense and didn't object.
Xingxing is particularly fond of food. He can eat a big bowl of rice porridge and grows plump and white. Diandian is the opposite. He seems to have little interest in anything. He will vomit if he eats a little bit of porridge. Now he is chewing on a sweet potato, but after a few bites he becomes too lazy to chew it anymore and hands the sweet potato to Ruan Niannian for her to eat.
It was particularly warm sitting in the hall with the whole family.
In the middle of the morning, the children who came to step on the lucky fruits walked around the village and finally arrived. They first went to Pei Jianhui's house next door and did not take much food. After all, the second house was Pei Yuanzheng's house. They deliberately walked slowly and ate all the fruits they had taken from other people's homes in the village before coming here.
As soon as the children arrived, the yard became lively. While they were eating, they kept asking Pei Yuanzheng and Ruan Niannian questions, and the whole yard was filled with a hundred thousand questions.
Very naive, and very cheerful.
After filling each child's bag with fruits, snacks and candies, Ruan Niannian handed the things to Pei Yuanzheng, stood at the door to say goodbye to the children and gave them red envelopes.
Wu Lanhua had prepared ten cents for each person, and she didn't plan to give more, so she put ten cents in a red envelope, just like Wu Lanhua.
A dime is a lot of money. If those parents expect to get anything from the New Year's money she gives to their children, they are really making a wrong calculation.
After the children left, Ruan Niannian couldn't wait to grab a handful of snow to play with, "It's real snow. This is the first time I see real snow. It never snows in Suicheng."
Even during the coldest days of winter, the temperature in Guangzhou is only below 10 degrees Celsius, which is not enough to snow.
Pei Yuanzheng looked around and said, "The snow this year is not that heavy. In previous years, it was always about ten centimeters thick, enough to build a snowman. Let's see if it snows again tonight. Maybe it will be thicker."
