362 Only those who are sweet-mouthed can get more red envelopes
Su Taotao couldn't help laughing when she saw it. Mr. Fu had gone to great lengths to increase the difficulty of reading for his son, even using traditional Chinese characters.
The same character "乐" (Happy New Year) he changed into the traditional character "乐" (乐), and the character "征" (征) in the signature of Fu Zhengtu he wrote as "征".
The child scratched his head vigorously.
"This is also the traditional Chinese character for 乐. The 征 in my father's name is also the traditional Chinese character for 征. What I want to say is that knowledge is extensible and learning is endless. Don't be arrogant or complacent."
The child tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Interesting, I know~~"
Then he turned his head and said to Fu Yuanhang: "Uncle, tell me the traditional Chinese characters in the future, and I will remember them~~"
Su Taotao laughed loudly, picked up the child and kissed him: "Chenchen is great. Okay, let's have breakfast."
"Okay~~"
Chenchen opened the red envelope from his father and saw that it was actually a big reunion note.
"Wow, Dad is the most generous~~"
Zhou Linglan couldn't help but say, "Chenchen is still young. You gave him such a large sum of money. What if he loses it?"
Of course Zhou Linglan was not reluctant to give her little grandson a big red envelope, but such a young child had no place to spend money and could easily lose things.
Fu Zhengtu said, "After the Chinese New Year, he will be three years old. He is not young anymore. He can learn to manage money. Besides, Chen Chen never loses anything."
Chenchen is different from other children. How should I put it? He is a child with a strong sense of order, even a little obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Not to mention the equipment and procedures he takes with him every time he goes out, he has even trained the little black dog and the big white duck to go to the toilet at designated locations.
For example, he would always put back what he took from where it was, and the things in his room and schoolbag were all in order.
He never throws his things around. He can tell exactly where a toy is and always arranges them neatly.
While other children may be at the age of tearing up books, Chenchen already knows how to use bookmarks. Whenever he sees a page, even if he has memorized the book, he will put the bookmark in the book, and he will take it from and put it back to the same page.
The same goes for his little beach. He knows exactly which corner to dig today and which corner to dig tomorrow. The dug sand is piled neatly on the other side, waiting for Fu Zhengtu to bury new "gifts" in it.
After this side was dug clean, they started digging from the other side where Fu Zhengtu had buried the "gift" again.
Repeat.
How could a kid like this lose money?
So Fu Zhengtu began to train his ability to manage money.
Su Taotao also understood Fu Zhengtu's intention and pinched the child's face:
"Starting this year, Chenchen and little uncle will be given one yuan of pocket money every month by your mother. You can spend the pocket money on your own. School supplies, snacks, and small gifts can all be purchased from your own pocket money.
But you can’t spend money recklessly, you have to plan it yourself. For example, if you spend all your money on snacks and have no money to buy stationery, your mother won’t care. ”
Chenchen looked excited and blinked his big eyes at his mother: "Mom, Chenchen Zundu has grown up. Can I send him money now~~"
Su Taotao nodded: "Yes."
Chen Chen clapped his hands: "Okay, then I can go to visit Grandma Zhong and Grandpa Mo to ask for red envelopes and make more money~~"
Su Taotao: “…” You little clever ghost.
…
The breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year is not rich, it can only be considered special. Everyone here just has morning tea.
It’s still some coarse grains and side dishes. Put the fried oil cakes in the pan and steam them until soft. Pair it with tea and it becomes a simple morning tea.
There are two kinds of Youci Su Taotao, salty and sweet.
The sweet version is made by deep-frying a mixture of glutinous rice flour and white sugar, while the salty version is filled with salted mung beans, which is also a specialty of Qinglian Village. Maybe most places like to put crushed peanuts in the dumplings, but here they also put salted mung beans in the dumplings.
Su Taotao also lived in this area all her life. Her favorite dish is this salty green bean fried bun. With a cat-sized appetite, she ate two today.
It is a little bit greasy, so if you drink some black tea to neutralize it and eat some vegetables, it will be acceptable.
Not to mention children, there is probably no child who doesn’t like fried food.
In fact, kids here who are older than Chenchen will visit their acquaintances’ houses to wish them a happy new year and ask for red envelopes. The amount they give is not much anyway, just a few cents for good luck, and everyone is happy.
But Chenchen is still too young, and I am definitely worried about him going out alone.
Fu Yuanhang is a little embarrassed at this age, and he is past the age of asking for red envelopes at other people's homes. Otherwise, he could have brought Chenchen with him when he went out.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
"Happy New Year, my godmother, sister-in-law Taozi, brother Zhengtu, Ah Hang, Chen Chen, Mumu is here to wish you all a happy new year..."
Uh, Su Taotao took back her previous thought.
A shy and introverted senior elementary school student like Fu Yuanhang is embarrassed to visit other people's homes to wish them a happy new year, but a sunny and outgoing child like Mumu probably feels that he is no different from Chen Chen and is very comfortable doing so.
Zhou Linglan smiled and went to open the door: "Happy New Year, Mumu, come here, I'll give you a red envelope."
Mumu generously put the oranges in his pocket and handed them to Zhou Linglan: "Thank you, godmother. I wish you a happy new year, good luck, good health, and all the best!"
Here, "桔" and "吉" have the same pronunciation, so giving oranges means good luck.
Zhou Linglan particularly liked Mumu. She took the orange and smiled widely, "Okay, okay, Mumu too."
Fu Zhengtu and Su Taotao also gave him red envelopes. This guy gave out auspicious words as if they were free, one after another, and never the same again.
After asking for the red envelopes, Mumu said to Fu Yuanhang and Chen Chen: "I have learned that only those who are sweet-mouthed can get more red envelopes."
Chen Chen stared at Mu Mu without blinking, and then began to applaud: "Wow, Uncle Mu Mu, you are so boring~~"
Fu Yuanhang had an expression that was hard to describe.
Mumu shook his head and said, "No big deal, Chenchen. When I was your age, I went to visit relatives and friends by myself to wish them a happy new year.
You are cuter than Uncle Mumu when he was a child, so you will definitely get more red envelopes. Can I take you to pay New Year's greetings?"
Chenchen shook his head like a rattle: "No need, Uncle Mumu, my dad gave me a big red envelope, so I don't have to go out to pay New Year's greetings, and the money is enough for me~~"
Mumu: “???”
Mumu looked at Chenchen in disbelief: "Who would complain about having too many red envelopes? Haven't you heard? The more the better, small is fine. The size of the red envelope is not important, but the quantity is important!"
Chen Chen puffed up his cheeks and said, "I don't want it~~"
Mumu widened his eyes, and glared at Chenchen. Are there really children in this world who think that the red envelopes are too many?
Su Taotao was already laughing so hard that she couldn't stop. Before Mumu came, Chenchen still thought that he could go out to celebrate the New Year.
After Mumu did this, he gave up immediately.
Neither of the two children in the family has the same personality as Mumu. It’s okay for them to say congratulations to familiar adults when they meet them, but if they were asked to visit relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year like Mumu did, they would probably become self-contained.
"Okay, Mumu, if Ah Hang and Chen Chen don't want to go, then don't go. You should go by yourself."
Mumu sighed, "It's boring. I haven't visited anyone to wish them a happy new year for many years. After I was eight years old, Miss Zhong wouldn't let me go out to wish them a happy new year. I said I was here to wish my godmother a happy new year, and then she let me out.
Alas, I was still thinking about Chenchen going out to celebrate the New Year."
Dust is so cute, more auspicious than a mascot. You will get lots of red envelopes when you take it out.
Zhou Linglan took out all the snacks: "Mumu, come here and eat something."
Mumu sat over and smiled: "Thank you, motherfucker. If you guys don't go, I won't go either."
"Can we go to Pangpang's house? There are only two people at Pangpang's house, so it's quite quiet." Mumu said.
Su Taotao asked Chenchen: "Do you want to go to Pangpang's house? If you do, let grandma pack some snacks for you to take back."
Chen Chen thought about it, looked at Mu Mu and said, "Just go to Pang Pang's house~~"
When Mumu heard that Chenchen was willing to go out, his eyes sparkled: "Yeah, yeah, we're only going to Pangpang's house!"
"Grandma, the dumplings are delicious, please give more to Pangpang~~" Chenchen also thought that Pangpang didn't have many family members, so it wasn't that scary. Pangpang's father was also very good to him. He hadn't been to Pangpang's house yet, so he decided to go and pay New Year's greetings.
Fu Yuanhang was not opposed to going to Pangpang's house, so the two children, one big and one small, wearing new clothes and new shoes, full of energy, started on their journey to pay New Year's greetings.
