"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"My sister-in-law is so nice, beautiful and kind-hearted. She is the best sister-in-law in the world." She flattered Lu Xiangxiang.
"Okay, hurry up and follow your uncle and the others to go out and pay New Year's greetings." She patted Zhou Minmin in annoyance.
On the first day of the new year, when she visits other people's homes to wish them a happy new year and receive red envelopes, their red envelopes may not be very big, a few cents is also a small amount, but a little bit adds up to a lot, so she doesn't mind it at all, because she won't be able to receive red envelopes soon anyway.
Red envelopes were given to the younger generations in the family, and the three little ones received quite a few. What's more, she and Zhou Ziheng also received red envelopes from the elders.
"Although you are already married, you are still our grandchildren, so you can't miss the red envelope." This was Zhou Tieshan's domineering voice. Each child received a red envelope of one hundred yuan, which could be said to be very generous of him.
As for the three little ones, they were given red envelopes of ten yuan. Ahem, this was only a small amount out of consideration because they are still children and don’t need to be given so much.
The few red envelopes Lu Xiangxiang sent out were paid back thanks to the favor of the elders.
"Oh, I'm rich." She smiled while holding the red envelope.
"Yes, congratulations on your prosperity. You will definitely make a fortune this year."
"By the way, I remember that my neighbor Jiaming seems to have a camera. Why don't I go to his house and borrow one? Then we can come back and take a family photo, how about that?" Zhou Minmin suddenly suggested.
Her suggestion was quite good and everyone agreed. So they agreed to gather at noon to take a group photo.
The whole family was laughing and everyone went out.
As for the three little ones, they received the red envelopes and put them in the bag they carried with them. This was a small bag for them to hide their money. It was made by Miao Cuihua and the workmanship was quite unique and exquisite.
It’s bright red, and it feels especially festive to hold it during the Chinese New Year.
Along the way, everyone saw how good-looking the three little ones were and couldn't help but stuff a lot of melon seeds, fruits, etc. into them. Their pockets were already stuffed full. Some were even generous enough to give them red envelopes directly. The red envelopes were not big, only about one cent, but for the children, this was already a huge sum of money.
Zhou Ziheng also took her to visit his childhood friends. She didn't know many of his friends, and there were too many people on the wedding day, so who could remember them all?
After getting married, they have been busy all the time. Either he is busy or his friends are busy, so there is no good opportunity to introduce them again.
It's not impossible to introduce them to each other again now that there are few people around. They also feel quite guilty about the Zhou Ziheng incident and say frankly that they were unable to help.
Zhou Ziheng said that the most important thing was to protect himself without any help, and he understood it all.
In fact, their family also helped a lot, and he was very grateful to those who helped their family. Otherwise, their family would have been sent to a more cruel place, which would have been the most difficult.
At that time, people had little influence and many people chose to protect themselves. If something happened to their family, he would have to consider whether it would implicate his own family so that he could help without leaving any trace.
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is the hardest to provide timely assistance.
"Okay, let's not talk about these unlucky things during the New Year. Everything has passed. We should look forward and look back." She interrupted the two of them.
If I continue talking like this, this guy will probably start crying. Crying is not allowed on New Year's Day.
Yes, they changed the topic and talked about something else, and then gave each of the three little ones a big red envelope, which made the three little ones say sweetly "Congratulations on your wealth and success", and wished them a lot of money and a steady rise in career.
These words made the brother feel both amused and helpless, and he kept exclaiming how these three little ones could talk so much, their little mouths chattering all the time.
He is not shy when meeting adults, and he can say congratulations fluently and with many words.
The three little ones puffed out their chests proudly after receiving the praise, "This is what mom taught me."
Lu Xiangxiang smiled awkwardly. Tian Ke Lian said that she didn't teach it on purpose. The three little ones asked her just now on the road.
"Hahaha, mom taught you well, brother, this is what your sister-in-law is like." He gave Lu Xiangxiang a thumbs up.
Everyone in the circle knew that the Zhou family's return so quickly was definitely due to her contribution, otherwise it would be hard to say whether they could be among the first group to come back.
Zhou Ziheng smiled slightly, "I also think your sister-in-law is like this."
"Okay, stop bragging. We're leaving first. We have to go back later to take a group photo." She said goodbye with a smile.
She felt a little embarrassed after hearing so much praise this morning.
"Yeah." He was pulled out obediently.
After walking and stopping for a while, the two finally arrived at the Lu family's house. At this time, the door of the Lu family was open, waiting for others to come and pay New Year's greetings.
When they went in, there were two people inside, and they were surprised to see Lu Xiangxiang.
"Is this your husband's previous daughter? The one who married into the Zhou family?"
"Yes." Even though she didn't want to admit it, she really couldn't refuse since Miao Cuihua was right next to her.
She felt a little angry when she thought about the old witch who came here yesterday and asked her husband to help her make the bed and bring her water for washing feet. She was really angry.
Now she has to admit in front of so many people that Lu Xiangxiang is the one in front. Her title of model couple is gone because of Lu Xiangxiang's existence.
She wondered why she was asked to come to the capital in the first place. If she hadn't come to the capital, no one would know that her husband was a second-married man, and she would still be the envied wife of a teacher.
"Grandma, Dad, Aunt Liang, Happy New Year." She greeted her father with a smile.
"Happy New Year." She replied reluctantly.
"Happy New Year, Grandma. Happy New Year, Grandpa. Happy New Year, Auntie." The three little ones also came forward to greet them, and then Zhou Ziheng greeted them.
Well, the first two were called intimately, and the rest were all called auntie. It was okay to call her auntie, because she didn’t want Lu Xiangxiang to call her mom anyway.
But what the hell is that "Auntie Po" that the three kids are calling? Where did that name come from?
Lu Xiangxiang ignored her glaring eyes and extended her hand to Miao Cuihua with a smile, "Grandma, congratulations on your prosperity~"
Miao Cuihua nodded at her with a smile, then gave her a red envelope.
She looked at Lu Yuantao again, "Dad, Happy New Year and may you be prosperous."
Lu Yuantao looked at Liang Huifen who was standing beside him. She was the one who was in charge of the family's money.
Liang Huifen was a little angry, so she gave her a red envelope, and then there were red envelopes for the three little ones and Zhou Ziheng, ten yuan each, and fifty yuan was gone. The old lady gave her a red envelope of one hundred yuan, and the same was true for Lu Duoduo.
So she gave out so many red envelopes without even receiving any coins. How could she not be heartbroken? A month's salary was gone.
Lu Yuantao didn't know what she was thinking. In his eyes, this was just a small amount of money, not just one month's salary.
Besides, it only happens once a year. What he didn't know was that Liang Huifen would rather spend the money herself than give it to them.
Lu Xiangxiang didn't give any filial gifts during the Chinese New Year. Lu Yuantao also said that she was already supporting her own elderly mother, so there was no need for her to show filial piety.
So she is a big victim.
