Chen Man put clean clothes on her grandmother, pushed her to the leisure area, and helped her sit on the sofa.
I sat down with peace of mind.
There was a TV series playing in the room, but neither Chen Man nor her grandmother watched it, they just watched it for fun.
"Grandma, how did you spend your evenings in the past?"
Grandma was reminiscing quietly, and Chen Man didn't rush her. She slowly savored the snacks that she hadn't had time to eat before.
"The New Year celebrations used to be much more lively than they are now. Back then, your mother was still young, and your great-grandmother and great-grandfather were still alive. Our family would sit around the fire pit and stay up until dawn."
"Did people just sit there to stay up all night long?" Chen Man was very curious. How could they sit there for the whole night?
Grandma looked at Chen Man with a look that didn't make you understand. "Back then, we'd pick up a flashlight at night and walk around, chatting with people from different houses. It was the most fun."
Chen Man asked again: "Were there any snacks at that time?"
"Back then, there were no snacks like we have now. They were all rock sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, and we would fry some peanuts grown at home. Your mother loved them the most back then, and she would jump up and down to eat them."
Grandma's eyes are full of memories, those memories are happy and nostalgic.
Chen Man tried to imagine those scenes in her mind, but she always replaced her mother's image with her own. She couldn't imagine her mother as a lively and happy little girl.
Night gradually darkened.
Chen Man took out two big red envelopes from her pocket.
"Grandma, I wish you good health and a long life. Ding ding ding ding, this is the New Year's money I prepared for you, and the other one is for you on behalf of mom."
Chen Man waved the red envelope towards her grandmother as if she was presenting a treasure and spoke sweetly.
Grandma exclaimed, "Ouch!" and said in surprise, "I still have a red envelope! Haha, it's so thick! Is there a lot in it?"
Chen Man found that as long as the elderly were happy, she felt happy.
Looking at the satisfied and relieved smile on her grandmother's face, Chen Man felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
"Just count them."
Grandma smiled and replied, "Of course."
Grandma counted the money with shaking hands, "one hundred, two hundred, three hundred..."
Chen Man watched for a long time before taking out her cell phone to record it.
Grandma counted the money very slowly, and Chen Man sat on the sofa playing with her cell phone.
Maybe it’s because it’s Chinese New Year, I saw a lot of fireworks tonight.
I have to say, with the development of the times, even fireworks can be made into thousands of different shapes, which are shocking even through the screen.
Chen Man instinctively clicked on the comments, thinking everyone was amazed at how beautiful the fireworks were.
As a result, netizens never disappoint every year. Yun Chuanghua said: I saved another 1,200 yuan, left, and went to the next one.
Chen Man laughed to death, how could this be possible?
It seems to be okay, huh?
She swiped through the items one by one, acting as the sixth one, and felt like she was saving a lot of money, hehe.
Chen Man took a screenshot.
I turned on the beauty camera and started taking a selfie. I turned my back and took a photo with my grandmother who was counting money.
I opened WeChat and posted a circle of friends.

Chen Man has finished posting to her Moments, but grandma is still counting...
"Seven thousand three hundred, seven thousand four hundred, seven thousand five hundred..."
......
Xu Junyang's family sat neatly in the living room with the TV on, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.
Everyone was wearing thin clothes, but the whole house was heated and it was very warm inside.
Xu Zhengxi was playing chess with his grandfather, while Xu Junyang and Xu Helian were watching.
The three women were discussing what to eat for midnight snack. As they were talking, Grandma Junyang brought up fortune-telling.
"Before, I even went to roast a few eggs for Junyang, trying to figure out when he would get married. He's already grown up, and there's no need to rush. I have to wait until the right time. I'm afraid I'll be buried in the ground and still not see it."
Xu Junyang, who was passing by, silently quickened his pace.
Hua Chunya and her mother secretly exchanged glances and smiled secretly.
Hua Chunya: "Grandma, what did the result say?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything. As soon as she did, her grandmother got angry again. "She said that he was destined to be a successful person and could make plans on his own. I scolded Jun Yang at the time. If he could make plans, even a sow could climb a tree."
Hua Chunya and Xia Meng looked at each other again and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.
Hua Chunya didn't reply to her grandmother, but took out her cell phone and searched for it for a long time.
"Grandma, look, pigs can climb trees."
Hua Chunya opened the video of the pig climbing a tree on her mobile phone and showed it to her grandmother.
Grandma read it and said: ...
"Is this pig a female?"
Hua Chunya: “…Not sure.”
Grandma: "Well, that's it. It must be a boar."
Xia Meng: "Pfft~ Mom, what are you doing?"
Xu Junyang was leaning on another sofa, listening speechlessly.
He opened WeChat, scrolled down the chat history, and came across Chen Man. Their chat still stopped at the one where he asked her to set off yesterday.
I wanted to send her a New Year's greeting, but when I clicked on it, I found it was still early, so I exited.
When I opened the Moments, Chen Man’s profile picture appeared.
Xu Junyang couldn't wait to click it.

I clicked on her photos one by one and admired them quietly, and finally gave them a like.
He stood up suddenly and climbed the stairs back to his building.
When I came down again, I put on a thick coat and changed my shoes at the entrance of the living room.
