"I have a way that can help us suffer less loss." Zhao Jianguo leaned close to Zeng Wenjuan's ear and said meaningfully.
"Oh, you thought of a solution so quickly. What is it?" Zeng Wenjuan really couldn't think of any way to give less red envelopes.
"Of course we should have more children. As long as we have more children, we can get two more red envelopes. This way we can suffer less losses." Zhao Jianguo said proudly.
"What are you talking about!" Zeng Wenjuan patted Zhao Jianguo in annoyance, and then glanced at Goudan coquettishly and said, "The child is still here, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Mom and Dad, there are ten great unity red envelopes here!" Goudan didn't care what Zeng Wenjuan and Zhao Jianguo said, and just focused on opening the red envelopes.
Zeng Wenjuan was shocked when she heard what Goudan said. She took the red envelope from Goudan and saw that there were indeed ten red envelopes. She handed the red envelope to Zhao Jianguo.
Zhao Jianguo took the red envelope and thought carefully: "This... this seems to be given by grandma. I don't think all the elderly people would give so much!"
Then they opened a few more red envelopes, and it was true that several elderly people gave ten big unity notes. The couple looked at each other in surprise.
"Why don't we go back now? This is a bit too much." Zeng Wenjuan looked at Zhao Jianguo worriedly and said.
Zhao Jianguo nodded: "Let's take the red envelope and go discuss it with our parents! We just came back and don't know the situation yet."
After thinking about it, the couple took the red envelope and went to the next room and knocked on the door.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Chen Yintang, wearing a military coat, opened the door a crack and asked the two of them.
"Let's go inside and talk! It's not convenient to talk outside." Zeng Wenjuan said quietly.
After entering the room, Zeng Wenjuan took out the red envelopes and said, "Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma each gave a red envelope of ten big unity. What do you think we should do now?"
"Just keep it if it's given to you. Don't feel burdened. They are also happy that you were found. Go back and have a good rest! You will be busy tomorrow." Zeng Yike patted Zeng Wenjuan's shoulder comfortingly.
But Zeng Wenjuan still felt guilty about taking the red envelope. As a young person with her own hands and feet, she couldn't bear to take the red envelope from an old man. She said in a tangled way: "Why don't I return the red envelope?"
"No need, just keep the flowers. Mom and Dad are here if you want to return the favor. We, the elders, will need your help tomorrow. You should have a good rest this afternoon." Chen Yintang said after hearing what happened.
After hearing what Zeng Yike and Chen Yitang said, the couple left the room and returned to their room. Goudan had already opened the red envelopes.
Seeing Zhao Jianguo and Zeng Wenjuan coming back, he smiled and held a handful of money and asked: "Mom and Dad, guess how much money is here."
"How much is it? Mommy really can't guess. Can Goudan tell mommy and daddy?" Zeng Wenjuan squatted down and asked.
"There is a total of one thousand five hundred and eighty yuan." Fortunately, Goudan knew money and could count, but before that he could only do addition and subtraction within one hundred.
"How did you know that? You're so smart. Then give the money to mom first and I'll help you check if the calculation is correct." Zeng Wenjuan stretched out her hand towards Goudan.
"Mom, please count it quickly!" Goudan put all the money in Zeng Wenjuan's hand and said proudly: "You thought I knew the units of money, ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... Just add them up and it's yours! Am I smart?"
Zeng Wenjuan touched Goudan's head, smiled and said with satisfaction: "Great, our Goudan is really smart, but he can't be proud and complacent, he must learn with an open mind."
"I know. Mom and Dad, please count quickly to see if I have calculated wrongly!" Goudan has been very well-behaved and sensible since he can remember. Of course, he also knows that he needs to study more in order to protect his mother.
Zeng Wenjuan and Zhao Jianguo quickly counted the money, and together with the red envelopes given by the four elderly people, the total amount was 1,980 yuan.
"We have made a fortune by coming to our hometown, so we should put all this money into our passbook when we return!" Zeng Wenjuan said, holding a stack of money.
"Okay, let's keep a separate one for Goudan! We'll return it to him when he turns 18. It's up to him whether he wants to get married or do anything else." Zhao Jianguo agreed.
"Does Goudan have money too? Can you give one to Goudan? Goudan wants to buy something." When Goudan heard that there was still money for him, he immediately came out and said with a smile.
"What do you want to buy? You are still young, you can't always spend money indiscriminately!" Zeng Wenjuan knew that Goudan would spend money, so she would give him a few cents pocket money every day. However, this week's pocket money was given to him three days ago, and it was all spent already. Zeng Wenjuan was a little angry.
"Goudan didn't spend money indiscriminately. I just wanted to buy something, but I didn't have that much money, so I thought of saving more." Goudan poked his finger aggrievedly, but still didn't say what he wanted to buy.
Zhao Jianguo gently nudged Zeng Wenjuan, fearing that she would lose her temper in front of Goudan. By then, the child would be afraid of his parents and would not dare to tell the truth to them.
"Then tell your dad that you wanted so much money, what did you do with it?" Zhao Jianguo picked up Goudan and asked him directly, looking him in the face.
"I can't tell you now. You'll know when I save enough money." Although Goudan was afraid of Zhao Jianguo, he did not succumb to his pressure and reveal his little secret.
"Go and rest first. You still have to help tomorrow. Tonight we will discuss the rules of tomorrow's wedding together. If you don't rest early, you won't be a drag tomorrow." Zeng Wenjuan saw this, but didn't say anything or ask too many questions. Instead, she pulled Zhao Jianguo's hand and asked him to go to bed together.
When he was lying on the bed, Goudan touched the Dali University entrance examination card and smiled happily. He was one step closer to his goal. He held the Dali University entrance examination card in his pocket with an unusually bright smile on his face.
Zeng Wenjuan lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. He looked at Goudan's sleeping profile with a worried look on his face, fearing that the child would learn bad things like other children when he joined the army.
"It's okay. I know the kids who play with Goudan. Their families are all good people. They will definitely not bully him or spend money recklessly with Goudan." Zhao Jianguo hadn't slept yet. He knew clearly about Zeng Wenjuan's worries. He patted Zeng Wenjuan's shoulder and said comfortingly.
"I was afraid that Goudan would get to know other people and learn bad things from them. This child has been smart since he was young and more sensible than other children. But he has been living with me at home for these years, and I feel sorry for him no matter how I look at him." Zeng Wenjuan choked up when she talked about the past.
