Chapter 272 Suddenly I don’t want to struggle anymore!
"Mother Meng, these are for you and Yun Yi, as well as Zhizhi and Ruirui." Old Madam Pei handed four red envelopes to Xu Qingmeng.
"Me too?" Xu Qingmeng stared at Old Madam Pei in a daze.
"What I mean is that even if you have a child, it is still a child in the eyes of your grandmother. Let alone you, your mother is still a child in my eyes!"
"Thank you very much, grandma." Xu Qingmeng took the red envelope handed over by Madam Pei.
"Xinting, come here. This is yours."
Xinting first looked at Xu Qingmeng, then at He, and when they both nodded, she accepted the red envelope from the old lady.
"Thank you, old lady, and I wish you good health!"
“Okay, okay!”
Yun Sheng and Yun Mo got red envelopes. Although they didn’t get the biggest one, it’s better than nothing.
Yun Sheng excitedly opened the red envelopes given by He and counted them one by one. As he was counting, he heard his second brother say.
"Mom, did you give the wrong red envelope? Didn't you say a big red envelope?"
Although I know that it is definitely not as much as what his grandmother gave, it is still a big difference from the big red envelope that his mother talked about!
"What's the matter? Isn't this big enough? Those kids just now only had one penny, and the most they had was two pennies. I gave you ten of them, and you're still not satisfied. Your grandmother's money will be saved by your mother."
Yun Mo: “…”
Mom is really something. She confiscated everything that her grandmother gave her and only gave them these few things. She is really fooling the children.
Yun Sheng felt quite satisfied, and even happily advised: "Second brother, it's not a small amount. There are also some given by sister-in-law. I just shook it and it's more than mother's. Add it up, it's a lot. You can buy... you can buy a lot of candies, and even candied haws!"
Yun Sheng counted on his fingers, "One, two, three... sixteen."
Yun Mo glanced at her with disdain. If it weren't for the fact that his sister-in-law gave them thirty copper coins each, they could only buy four strings of candied haws with what his mother gave them.
It’s really satisfying! Besides, who wants to join forces with her?
But Yun Mo was smart. He knew there was no hope here, so he pulled Yun Sheng to the front hall.
"Grandfather, uncle, and all the uncles, Happy New Year! Happy New Year, big brother!"
In the front hall, Mr. Pei was chatting enthusiastically with everyone. Seeing Yun Mo's shrewd look, how could Gu Yunyi not know what he was thinking?
Grandpa Pei laughed, took out what he had prepared from his arms, and handed it to the two little guys, "My dear grandchildren, Happy New Year!"
Yun Sheng happily took it, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Yun Mo also bowed respectfully and took the red envelope.
Pei Cheng was not willing to be outdone, but He had just told him that it was only a few dozen copper coins, so he didn't pack too much.
"Come here, Yun Sheng, Yun Mo, this is given by your uncle."
The two children's eyes lit up, but they still thanked him politely. Yun Sheng even shook the red envelope in his hand, then leaned close to Yun Mo's ear and whispered, "Second brother, look, we are rich again."
Zhang Hanzhe, Prefect Kang and Mr. Shen also prepared red envelopes. Of course, there were no red envelopes for Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi, but there were some for Zhizhi and Ruirui.
Yun Mo looked at his childish sister, but couldn't help but smile slightly.
Just when the two were immersed in the fact that they had made a lot of money, He came over and quickly took the red envelopes from their hands.
"Mom!" Yun Sheng shouted excitedly.
"You are still young, it is not safe to hold so much money in your hands. It is New Year's Day, and you go out every day. If you lose it, it will not be worth it. Leave it with me, together with the money given by your grandmother. If you want to spend it later, ask me for it. I will not take your money."
He spoke confidently, not paying any attention to the two people's resentful looks, and put the red envelope she got from behind into her arms.
Xu Qingmeng listened to the familiar lines and realized that it was true that no matter what era, mothers are always the same.
No matter how Yun Sheng and Yun Mo acted coquettishly this time, He Shi did not give in at all. She really thought that the two were ignorant children. How could the money that had entered their mother's pocket ever come out? She was just trying to coax them.
Alas, I was still immersed in the fact that I would receive a lot more New Year’s money this year and could buy many things with it. Unfortunately, this excitement did not last long.
In the sadness of Yun Sheng and Yun Mo, after they sent Mr. Shen and others away, the excitement slowly dissipated.
The ancients all had the habit of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year, but the Gu family, old and young, are extremely sleepy at this time and obviously no longer have the energy to do so.
After everything in the main room was tidied up, only Gu Yunyi and Pei Cheng were left to celebrate the New Year.
When Xu Qingmeng returned to the house, Zhizhi and Ruirui were sleeping soundly. She was tired after a busy day, but she opened the red envelope she received before going to bed.
Not only did Mrs. Pei give it, but Mrs. He also gave it.
He's four red envelopes, two of which contained silver notes worth 1,000 taels, and the other two contained silver notes worth 100 taels.
Xu Qing dreamed that He Shi probably didn't have much in her hands. This much should have been given privately by her grandmother. But this was too much, so she thought about talking to Gu Yunyi about it tomorrow.
What her grandmother gave her was even more than what she earned in a year of hard work. Suddenly, she felt like she didn't want to struggle anymore.
But then he thought of something, and then he got out of bed and found two small wooden boxes, and put the separate portions for the two children in them.
As He said, it belonged to the two children. She kept it temporarily and would return it to them when they grew up. As for whether it would still be there in the future, then...
But looking at the New Year’s money they received, I suddenly felt a little envious. Why am I not a child?
The red envelope given by my grandmother contained not only silver bills, but also two gold locks. It was very exquisite!
Mr. Shen also gave me gold melon seeds, which made me quite curious. Mr. Shen was extraordinary every time he gave me money, and he had never been troubled by money!
Forget it, this is not something she should worry about!
After the New Year has arrived in the middle of the night, every household will set off firecrackers.
Gu Yunyi and Pei Cheng live together in the Gu family. He burns incense, kowtows and cooks dumplings, while Pei Cheng sets off firecrackers outside.
Firecrackers are festive and last for a long time. Once they go off, they last for a long time. Gu Yunyi is still worried that his wife and children in the house will wake up!
When he went into the room, he saw his wife frowning slightly, then she covered her head with the quilt. She showed no sign of waking up. Even the two little ones in the cradle were sleeping soundly.
He smiled gently, a happy smile on his face, and after closing the doors and windows of the house tightly, he walked out again.
Gu Yunyi burned incense, cooked dumplings, heated up some steamed buns and placed them in front of the statue. He knelt down three times before going out and lighting firecrackers with Pei Cheng.
The crackling sound was deafening, and Gu Yunyi and Pei Cheng smiled at each other.
"Uncle, Happy New Year!"
