Chapter 264: The so-called black heart

This red paper bag printed with hot gold font may be strange to some foreigners, but it is almost a household name to Chinese.

On every festive day, everyone loves to receive this thing.

Whether it is a college entrance exam, a birthday celebration, a wedding, a child's birth, a New Year's holiday, etc. If there's one thing that's the most pleasing, it's the moment someone else puts the red bag in their pocket.

Of course, what's the most unhappy thing about these times? It's probably taking out a red paper bag like this from your own pocket and stuffing it into someone else's pocket. Especially if you find that the red paper bag you stuff into someone else's pocket is thicker than the red paper bag that someone else stuffs into your own pocket.

All peoples in the world have the habit of giving gifts during large celebrations such as New Year's holidays. For example, Christmas is becoming more and more popular in China from the West.

One of the most traditional activities is giving gifts to children and friends at Christmas. It looks like it's beautiful. But here's a small question.

For example, a child's New Year's wish is to have a paltry PS5.

However, the New Year's gifts given by parents to children are 20 pounds of Huanggang secret papers, five-year college entrance examination three-year mock + Wang Houxiong exercise problem set, etc.

Please, will the children cry happily because they receive this gift? Of course, tears are certain, but it's hard to say why they were.

Therefore, it is especially easy to deviate from the fact that things like giving gifts during the holidays. In particular, many Europeans and Americans give Christmas gifts, which are actually unusually slammed.

For example, send a greeting card, send a bag of candy, send two rolls of wool socks or a sweater with dirt and slag.

Don't be fooled by the bells and whistles of Hollywood movies, in fact, these are the most important things that Europeans and Americans give away at Christmas. If you're looking forward to Christmas gifts, such as expecting your parents to give you a few happy additions to your STEAM, it's basically a no-brainer.

Even if you wishlist all the games you want, it's just a matter of looking, Santa Claus won't fulfill your wishes, and G Fat will only steal your money.

In comparison, Chinese red envelopes are probably the most affordable thing in the world. Maybe it's cheesy, maybe it's not so lofty. But this thing is the most practical!

During the actual interviews on the streets of Europe and the United States, 3,000 people were randomly interviewed, but whether they wanted to receive gifts or cash at Christmas.

Ninety percent of Europeans and Americans answered: cash.

The remaining 10 percent said euphemistically, "Oh, of course the gift is great." This is our tradition, and it is a ritual that needs to be carried forward. Of course, sometimes some friends give gifts that are not so in my heart, in fact, I would like to say to those friends that if they don't know how to buy gifts, then please give me the money you paid for the gifts, even if it is only 10 euros. ”

Although Yang Shu is a third-generation immigrant, his family still maintains some of China's fine traditions, that is, during the New Year's holidays and festive days, their family never gives gifts, but gives red envelopes.

The red envelope is filled with colorful cash. Every time you receive a red envelope, it is when Poplar is the happiest.

There is no trouble in this world that cannot be solved by red envelopes, if there is, then there are a few more red envelopes - BY Yang Tianming (Poplar's father).

"So, haven't you even stuffed red envelopes into the coach?" Yang Shu looked at his friends incredulously: "You never give red envelopes?!" he emphasized repeatedly.

Lin Changjie and the others lowered their heads in shame.

"Oh my God! Although we are from the Eagle Country, we were also born in a Chinese family! You have lived in a Chinese family for so long, and you don't know the importance of red envelopes?!" Yang Shu looked at his companions in disbelief.

Lin Changjie said weakly: "This ...... This...... I'm not a big fan of Chinese festivals. ”

"It's stupid!" Yang Shu sighed, "Let me tell you, doing things in China is different from the Eagle Country." There may be a lot of problems to be encountered here. ”

"Do you know about the driver's license test?" Poplar looked at the crowd, who shook their heads and nodded.

Lin Changjie said hesitantly: "We naturally all know about the driver's license test. We're all driver's license people. "That's right, almost 50 percent of people in Eagle Nation will get their first driver's license at the age of sixteen. Because there is no such thing as an ID card in the Eagle Country, the most important thing they can prove their identity is a driver's license in addition to a passport. In the Eagle Country, you can even open a bank account with a driver's license.

"Let me tell you this. There are also a lot of people in this country who get their driver's licenses. But because the national conditions of this country are different. It is the fastest-growing country in the global automotive industry. Millions of new cars hit the road every year, and hundreds of thousands of new drivers hit the road every year. ”

"But because this country doesn't have a century-old car culture. Many novice drivers buy a car that may be the first car for their entire family. So these novice drivers don't actually have outstanding cars since they were young. Unlike us, when we were fourteen or fifteen years old, we would secretly drive the family car for a ride. ”

"So this results in poor grades in driving schools, and many of them can't even pass subject two, let alone road tests. But they can still get their driver's licenses, guess why?"

Lin Changjie and the others shook their heads like rattles.

Yang Shu said with a little meaning: "That's because of red envelopes and cigarettes." "It looks like he's a China expert.

"You can treat Coach Xiao Hei as a driving school instructor, you know. Yang Shu said: "The fact that the Genesis Group is rich does not mean that Coach Xiaohei is rich. ”

"After a month of training, if you don't want to suffer these hardships, I advise you to do it yourself. ”

After saying this, the poplar shook his head and easily went downstairs to eat roast rice. Only a group of tired companions were left there to discuss.

"Oops, forget how much red envelopes did this kid Yang Shu stuff into Coach Xiaohei?"

"How much do you say you will give?"

"A hundred?"

"It's too little, and now I can't order anything for a hundred yuan when I go to a small restaurant outside. ”

"That's two hundred, two hundred, it's less than thirty eagle dollars, it's still very little, right?"

"That ......"

"If you want me to say, just give five hundred for one person. What do you say?" Lin Changjie set the amount. As soon as everyone discussed, this number is good, and that's it.

In the next day, Lin Changjie and the other nine people each quietly stuffed a red envelope into Coach Xiaohei.

Sure enough, they were much more relaxed during the day's training. The original little black coach with Sima face also looked much more amiable.

And there was only one guy who was trained badly that day, and that was Poplar.

In the 10,000-meter weight-bearing run, Yang Shu was tired and out of breath: "Wait, Coach Xiaohei, I gave you that yesterday, I gave you that yesterday!"

"Which one?" Xiao Hei, who was riding a battery car and urging the poplars to run quickly, didn't know why.

"That's it!" Poplar rubbed his thumb and index finger, showing that people all over the world know how to move.

Xiao Hei sneered: "You ate yesterday, don't you eat today? Don't talk nonsense, run for me!"

"Ah?!" Yang Shu was shocked, is there such a black-hearted guy in this world?!
