Chapter 270

Although the dinner was very rich, everyone didn't eat much, especially the children. They put down their chopsticks within ten minutes of being on the table, and they all looked at the adults with eyes.

This is lucky money.

"Ha ha, my good great grandchildren, two for each."

As the elder with the highest seniority, the old village head took out a stack of Chinese coins and gave them to his great grandchildren 200 yuan each.

In the old village head's time, people got married earlier, including his sons. The grandchildren are basically adults. Now the children in the family are his great grandchildren and great grandchildren.

"Thank you, grandfather Zeng."

Several great grandchildren are happy to take the new year's money from grandfather. Seriously, the happiest time for children to eat new year's Eve dinner is for adults to give them lucky money.

"This is for you."

The old village head gave several great granddaughters one hundred. It can be seen from this that the old village head is very patriarchal. However, this is not only the case of the old village head, but also the case of other old people in the village. The preference for boys over girls is still very common in today's rural areas.

"Thank you, grandfather Zeng."

Several great granddaughters are happy to take the new year's money from grandfather. Seriously, the happiest time for children to eat new year's Eve dinner is for adults to give them lucky money.

When Chinese celebrate the new year, or pay New Year's greetings, the elder will give the younger generation (mainly the children) red envelopes, that is, lucky money.

It means that in the new year, children can grow up safely and healthily. There is a popular story about new year's money.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a small demon called "Sui". On the eve of new year's Eve, she came out and touched the head of a sleeping child with her hand. The child often cried in fright, then had a headache and became a fool. Therefore, every family lights up in this day, and adults sit up, which is called "Shou Sui".

There is a husband and wife who have a son when they are old and regard it as a treasure. On the eve of new year's Eve, they were afraid of "sneaking" to harm their children, so they took out eight copper coins to play with them.

When the child was tired of playing and fell asleep, they wrapped eight copper coins in red paper and put them under the child's pillow. The husband and wife did not dare to close their eyes.

In the middle of the night, a dark wind blows open the door and blows out the lights. As soon as she reaches out to touch the child's head, there is a flash of light beside her pillow. She is so scared that she runs away.

The next day, the husband and wife told everyone about using eight copper coins wrapped in red paper to scare away "sneaky". After that, everyone learned to do it, and the child was safe.

It turns out that the eight copper coins were changed from eight immortals to protect the children in secret. Because the homonym of "Sui" and "Sui" gradually evolved into "lucky money".

……

After the old village head gave out the lucky money, everyone also gave the children lucky money, basically 100 or 200. Even ye Shuting's sister-in-law gave her little niece and nephews 50 lucky money each.

Of course, it's impossible to give all the money to the children. Parents will ask for the money from the children. It's just to save the money in the mother's place first and sign up for you or buy clothes when you go to school.

Of course, they won't take all of them away. They will leave tens or hundreds of yuan for children's new year's allowance. Other money, except when they go to bed on New Year's Eve, will be saved by adults.

Looking at these children taking lucky money, ye Rongrong can't help thinking of himself. When he was a child, the happiest time was when his parents gave him lucky money for the Chinese New Year. With the money, he went to a small shop to buy toys.

At that time, the countryside was also poor. At the end of the year, it was very good to have 100 yuan of new year's money. One year, I bought all the new year's money for toys, and the 100 yuan was gone. As a result, I was beaten by my father because I spent money recklessly.

"Your name is Meng Meng, right."

Ye Rongrong said to the little girl in the room. This little girl is ye Rongfei's daughter. She seems to be three years old this year.

"Well."

The little girl looked at Ye Rongrong timidly and said. After all, ye Rongrong is tall and big, and he feels oppressive to both adults and children.

This is also now many girls like to find tall boys as boyfriends. One reason is that if they are tall, they will look more powerful and have a sense of security.

"Here, this is the lucky money from my uncle."

Ye Rongrong takes out a hundred yuan Chinese currency to the little girl. Before coming to the old village head's home for dinner, ye Rongrong prepared the money and gave the new year's money to the old village head's children.

"Give the money back to my uncle."

Ye Rongfei's daughter-in-law immediately said to her daughter.

"No, my lucky money is for children. If I give it out, there's no reason to take it back. It's a very festive thing to give it to children in the Spring Festival." Ye Rongrong said to ye Rongfei's daughter-in-law.

"But..."

"No, but come here. Uncle will give you a hundred lucky money each." Ye Rongrong said to the other children.

"Here you are. Thank you to my uncle."

See the children in the room are looking at themselves, ye Xianghai can only smile to the children said. New year's Day children all want lucky money. You can't be a villain.Seeing that their great grandfather agreed, the children happily took the lucky money YE Guangrong handed them. Of course, they didn't forget to say to Ye Guangrong, "thank you, uncle!"

When they got the lucky money, they couldn't stay in the house. They all ran outside, either to buy food or to play with their friends.

"Glory, I didn't expect that I'd invite you to the new year's Eve dinner, which cost you a lot." Ye Xianghai, the old village head, said with embarrassment.

You know, just now ye Rongrong gave each child 100 yuan, but he had to remove more than 1000 yuan. In rural areas, this is equal to half a month's income of farmers.

"Old village head, you said that. I'd like to give the children lucky money."

Ye Guangrong said with a smile. I don't know if it's time to have children. Ye Guangrong likes children very much. Looking at the kids, ye Guangrong always thinks when he will have a child.

It seems that after the new year, I really want to have a good talk with my wife.

"Brother glory, I also want lucky money." Ye Shuting suddenly thinks that ye Rongrong wants lucky money.

"Tingting, don't make a fool of yourself. How old are you? You need lucky money." Said the old village head. In rural areas, when children are 18 years old, they don't give lucky money.

Of course, it's not absolute. Some school children can't earn money by themselves. During the new year, their parents will still give them some lucky money. The older the children, the more money they need.

After all, the older children, communication also began to broaden up, what classmates, friends, and with a few students to go out to play, all need money.

However, the money is generally not given to them on New Year's Eve. It is given to them in advance. After all, the older the children are, the thinner their skin will be. At the new year's Eve dinner, they are all embarrassed to ask for lucky money in front of so many elders and such big children.

Of course, it will also give other elders a headache. If they are so big, do they want to give them new year's money or not? If they do, they have to give them too much money. We are still reluctant to give up.
