471 Distribution of red envelopes

"Lu Li, Lu Li?" Just passed the kitchen, was about to walk towards the back door, to the warehouse to pick up the tableware, Lu Li heard the call of Chinese, his steps suddenly stopped, as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was his grandmother, he quickly trotted over, sure enough, he saw his grandmother who was wiping her hands on the apron, took off the apron, and handed over the rest to Song Lingyi and Liu Xiaoyan.

Yuan Qingzhu walked out, "Lu Li, you come to my room, there is a black cloth bag on the table, bring it over." ”

Lu Li didn't ask much, nodded in affirmation, turned his head to look casually, and grabbed Chen Taotao, who was passing by inadvertently, "Tao Tao, you greet a few big brothers, go to the warehouse with you, take out the tableware, and then put it on the table." ”

"Huh?" Chen Taotao couldn't help but exclaim, stunned in place, at a loss, which made Lu Li laugh, clenched his fists, said cheering, and then left the main house quickly. He believes that Chen Taotao will always find a way.

Pushing open the door of the main house, a bonfire was lit in the open space next to the garden, the wood was burning, and a crackling sound could be heard, Randy and Brandon were turning the handle of the lamb, the golden oil shone out little by little, and the charming aroma wafting in the air, which made people feel relished.

Lu Li nodded and said hello, trotted back to the villa, and successfully found the cloth bag that his grandmother said in the room, and then returned to the main house and handed the cloth bag to his grandmother. It was less than five minutes before and after, but before Lu Li could catch his breath, his grandmother grabbed Lu Li's hand, and it seemed that the matter was not over yet.

Yuan Qingzhu lifted the cloth bag in his hand, "Lu Li, you come with me, I'll give out red envelopes." ”

It turned out that there was a large bag of red envelopes, which is also a traditional part of the Chinese New Year. According to the rules of Lu Li's hometown, before he gets married, he can get red envelopes from his elders. Lu Li's grandmother will make a lot of red envelopes every year, the amount is not large, but everyone has a share, not only a heart, but also a New Year's atmosphere.

"If it's home, I'll go on my own. But these people, you can introduce them to me. Yuan Qingzhu smiled, and then added, "And English, I need a translator." ”

"Then can this translator get double the red envelope?" Lu Li blinked his eyes and made a joke, successfully making Yuan Qingzhu laugh again.

In the line of sight, you can see that Chen Taotao is taking Adam, Scarlett and Jessica, each holding a plate with different tableware in it, and is cautiously walking in through the back door, Lu Li gave Chen Taotao a thumbs up, but Chen Taotao was so absorbed in his work that he didn't see it at all, but Song Jiahui, who was at the back, saw it and showed a big smile to Lu Li - the leaky front teeth were exposed again, which made Lu Li laugh.

Retracting his attention, Lu Li prepares to follow his grandmother while shouldering the responsibilities of the golden boy and girl.

However, before he could take a step, he looked up and saw Fred and Tony walking over, "Guys, guys, come here." Lu Li hurriedly beckoned happily, the two of them were confused, Tony pointed in the direction outside the house, "We are about to go out outside to help roast the whole sheep, change shifts, and let Randy and Brandon come in to rest and rest." ”

Lu Li did not rush to explain, stretched out his hands, signaled to his grandmother, and then Yuan Qingzhu said in Chinese, "This is a red envelope, the new year, grow up, I hope you are still healthy, and then your career is successful." Saying that, Yuan Qingzhu raised his head and looked at Lu Li, and asked suspiciously, "Are they all working?"

Lu Li nodded with a smile in affirmation. It seems that my grandmother still hasn't been able to tell who is who, just like Asian faces are to Westerners, and Westerners are to Asians, and face blindness seems to be particularly obvious. Then, Lu Li turned his head to look at the two friends and translated the words just now in English.

Before Fred and Tony could finish listening to Lu Li's explanation, they saw the red envelope handed over by Yuan Qingzhu, a traditional Chinese red, palm-sized paper bag, slightly bulging, and it seemed to contain something. But both of them couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what was going on at all, and not sure if they should take over, just looking at Lu Li with a blank and confused face.

"Take it. Lu Li said with a smile, "This is a Chinese custom, and I also have red envelopes." Lu Li waved the red envelope in his hand, which his grandmother had just given him, two.

Fred and Tony exchanged an fulfillment, and when they finally came to their senses, their smiles rising. Tony suddenly realized, and asked, "Is it the one that is distributed every Chinese New Year...... Belch...... "With the process of globalization, Chinese people are all over the world, and this traditional Chinese culture has been spread to a greater or lesser extent.

Lu Li nodded at Tony in affirmation, Fred couldn't help jumping twice in place, "Are you sure?" He confirmed again, and after getting Lu Li's positive reply, he clenched his fists and cheered loudly, "Yo roar!" Then he stretched out his hands, took his red envelope, and smiled sweetly at Yuan Qingzhu, "Thank you, grandma." ”

Entering the countryside, Fred also used the title of Lu Li, a "grandmother", not English, but Chinese, awkward, extremely weird, but the name is very smooth, causing Yuan Qingzhu to laugh.

Seeing this, Tony immediately took the red envelope with both hands, and shouted in a similar manner, "Thank you!" After hesitating for a moment, Fred also shouted "Grandma", and after finishing speaking, he scratched his head and looked at Fred, "Is that how it is pronounced?

Fred nodded and shouted again, "Grandma!"

Yuan Qingzhu pinched Fred's cheek very face-savingly, and responded simply, "Eh!" Even Tony shouted again, which made Yuan Qingzhu laugh heartily and patted Tony's cheek, "Happy New Year, I have grown up a year older during the New Year, I hope you can be healthy and work smoothly, and then, everything will go smoothly." ”

This remark was all in Chinese, Lu Li was stunned, and after reacting, he translated it simultaneously, and then added, "When the elders give red envelopes to the juniors, they will say some blessings by the way." Or, in other words, exhortations and expectations. ”

Looking down at the red envelope in his hand, Tony's mood couldn't help but leap, that joy, that joy filled his chest, began to boil, and even his footsteps began to jump, "Fourteen fourteen, is it really okay?

The smile on Lu Li's face not only did not disappear, but became brighter and brighter, "When I went to Lily's house for Christmas before, she and Ronald also prepared a Christmas gift for me. It's the same thing. In China, we visit different relatives and friends during the New Year, and the elders will prepare red envelopes for the juniors. Now, you come to Yunding Ranch as a guest, I am the host, to be precise, my grandmother is the master, then, this red envelope is a matter of course. ”

Lu Li explained a lot, and the two of them suddenly realized, looking at the red envelope in their hands curiously, this was the first time they received a "red envelope" from their elders, which was somewhat similar to a Christmas gift, but the mood was more subtle, the language was really indescribable, driven by strong curiosity, both of them had an urge to open the red envelope directly, but fortunately, reason still existed, and both of them looked at Lu Li with longing.

Yuan Qingzhu stood next to her, watching them come and go in a large string of English, she couldn't help waving her hand, interrupting their conversation, "It's all big kids, take it next, it's not so polite." There are other people, we go to distribute red envelopes one by one, and there are many children today. ”

Fred and Tony didn't know why, they looked at Lu Li, Lu Li was helpless, and translated it directly, which made the two of them laugh, so the two exchanged a look, and a happy smile flashed at the bottom of their eyes and the corners of their mouths at the same time, and then shouted in unison, "Guys, guys, come here, grandmother is handing out red envelopes! Everyone, all unmarried young people can come!"

At the beginning, everyone didn't know why, but Chen Taotao and Song Jiahui rushed up as soon as possible, and even the others came over curiously, seeing Lu Li's gesture of greeting everyone over, they didn't hesitate anymore, and everyone rushed over in an instant, all of them surrounded the sofa in the hall, and it was so bustling.

Seeing such a battle, Yuan Qingzhu not only did not receive the fright, but also laughed, beckoned happily, and motioned for everyone to gather over, "It's still a young man, come on, come on, everyone has it, everyone has it." Yuan Qingzhu used the simplest English, "everyone", which Lu Li taught her before, and now she uses it, the pronunciation is not standard, but it is accurate enough.

Everyone didn't know why, Fred and Tony both explained, and then Chen Taotao and Song Jiahui, who had already received the red envelope, waved happily, and Scarlett and Adam next to them hurriedly leaned over and asked what was going on.

Yuan Qingzhu took out the red envelope from his pocket, and then looked left and right, "Come, who's next?"

"Uh, can I? What about me?" In the midst of the commotion, a voice came, and it was so clear and loud that everyone turned their heads to see that it was Brandon. Brandon, who is usually silent and sluggish, and Brandon, who just became a father not long ago, now actually came to ask for red envelopes.

Yuan Qingzhu squinted his eyes and looked at it, hesitated a little, and asked in a low voice, "Lu Li, he is the one who just gave birth to his daughter, right?"

"Yes, his daughter has the same birthday as me. Lu Li replied in the affirmative.

According to the law, Brandon naturally can't take red envelopes anymore, but, this is the United States, the situation is naturally different, Yuan Qingzhu smiled brightly, "Of course! No problem!" Then, Yuan Qingzhu handed the red envelope in his hand to Brandon.

Brandon took the red envelope and cheered, "Whew!

In an instant, everyone cheered along with Brandon.
