Chapter 394: Trivia
Grandma is relatively old, it is impossible to stay up late, and after eating and watching the Spring Festival Gala for a while, she is ready to go back to her room to rest. Chang Huifang was going to accompany her old mother, and when her grandmother went back, she also went back.
Before taking a break, the most important part is definitely to be carried out, which is to give gifts to red envelopes.
Chinese New Year customs are strange and diverse, from eating and drinking to furniture placement to rest. And there is one thing that is the same all over the country, that is, giving red envelopes to younger generations, commonly known as New Year's money.
In some places, it is given until adulthood, and no longer after adulthood, and in some places, it is given until marriage, and it is not given after marriage. There are also many places that have been given, as long as they are in the elders' homes, they will give red envelopes regardless of whether they are married or not.
The custom of red envelopes in Yulan City is to give them until they get married, and they are given before they get married. This is a situation where the family conditions are quite good, and if the family conditions are average, they are basically only given to minor children, and they are not given after adulthood.
Although Wang Ning is considered to be an adult, because the number of times he comes back is relatively small, his aunt still prepared a red envelope for Wang Ning. The red envelope is not thick, only a hundred yuan.
One hundred yuan may have been happy in the past, but now of course he won't care.
Like some people on the Internet who describe Ma Ali, Wang Ning usually walks on the road and doesn't bring a hundred yuan when he sees it. In the few seconds he had crouched down and picked up a hundred dollars, he had already earned more than a hundred. When money reaches a certain level, they do become numbers.
But Wang Ning is still very happy, it doesn't matter how much money there is, the most important thing is the heart. He could feel his aunt's heart, which he cared about even more.
Compared with my aunt's shackles. Chen Huifang was a lot more generous. The red envelope given is bulging. At a glance, you can see that the amount is not small.
It is indeed not small, Chang Huifang gave Chang Wei, the only boy in her uncle's family, 5,000 yuan, and the two cousins 3,000 yuan each. He also gave each of them the latest iPhone, new clothes, necklaces and the like. The total value is about thirty or forty thousand, of which Chang Wei accounts for more than half.
It is said that the countryside is patriarchal, but in fact, this is really the case. Even now in 2016, boys in rural areas occupy a far more important place in the hearts of their elders than girls. It can be seen from the gift Chang Huifang chose.
The two cousins were used to being treated differently. They didn't see the value of their wallets, they couldn't see the value of their clothes, and they were already happy to get new phones, new clothes, necklaces, etc., and they didn't care about differential treatment at all. Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care, and in the countryside, they were used to this situation for a long time.
The two cousins were happily playing with their new mobile phones, and Wang Yun on the side was a little unhappy. The mobile phone she uses now is still a relatively cheap domestic mobile phone. It's not even half the price of an Apple phone.
Originally, she thought she had bought the new mobile phone for herself, but Chang Huifang gave it away without blinking. If I hadn't known that I couldn't talk nonsense, I would have yelled a long time ago.
Looking at Wang Yun who was pouting, Wang Ning shook her head funny, gently pulled her sleeve, and whispered: "I'll buy it for you when I go back!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Yun's face turned cloudy and clear, and she gave Wang Ning a sweet smile.
Seeing this situation, Wang Ning shook his head, in the past six months, he gave Wang Yun a lot of money, and he didn't know where her money was spent. I didn't even want to buy an Apple phone, but now I know that I'm angry.
Not only Chang Wei's juniors, but also uncles, aunts, and grandmothers also have their own gifts, studies, clothes, bracelets, and necklaces. Everyone has a share, and no one is left behind.
They don't know the value of the gift, just by looking at the exquisiteness, they know that the gift is expensive. Uncle still didn't want to accept it, and he reluctantly did it under Chang Huifang's persuasion.
Undoubtedly, after receiving the gift, the atmosphere of the family became more harmonious. And the uncle and they are finally sure that Chang Huifang's family is indeed not what it used to be, and the situation has improved significantly.
After giving gifts, the family went back to rest, there are a lot of things during the Spring Festival, in addition to the current things, the first day of the new year has to start busy, you need to nourish your spirit, and a good rest is unavoidable.
Before the break, my aunt assigned the rest.
There weren't too many rooms in my uncle's house, only six or seven rooms, and only three or four rooms could accommodate people, except for the kitchen and miscellaneous things. Originally, there was no problem living in my uncle's family, my grandmother had one room, my uncle and aunt had one room, and my two cousins had one room, and Chang Wei lived by himself.
Now that there is more Wang Ning's family, they can only add people on the basis of the original.
Chang Huifang and Wang Yun lived in the same room with their grandmother, Wang Ning lived with Chang Wei, and their aunt cleaned up a slightly worse room for Wang Xueqing to live in. Or Wang Xueqing lives with Wang Ning, as for Wang Tian, who has been following, there is no place for him for the time being.
Faced with this situation, Wang Tian said that he could sleep in the car and did not need to clean up his room. This is the solution to the problem, there are no hotels in the countryside, and if you don't have your own home, you can only work a little harder. And it's still the Spring Festival, and even if there are hotels, most of them are not open.
Living in the car by myself may seem bleak, but it's not hard. The Audi driven by Wang Tian is not cheap, and if it is not cheap, it means that all kinds of equipment are relatively complete and comfortable. If you live in a car, put down the chair and turn on the air conditioner, except for a little less space, it is much more comfortable than living in a house.
Don't look at Wang Tian as desolate, in fact, he is the most comfortable sleeping environment among several people.
In her opinion, Wang Tian living alone in the car made her a little unhappy, so she reported two quilts so as not to freeze at night. With a quilt cover, Wang Tian is undoubtedly a little more comfortable.
After solving the matter of Wang Tian's residence, the aunt and uncle went back to the house to sleep with peace of mind, and reminded Wang Ning before going to bed that they should not rest too late, go to bed early, someone may come tomorrow, and if they sleep too late, they will not have time to rest if they are woken up.
Wang Ning nodded and agreed, and after his aunt left, he began to take out his mobile phone and began to reply to various text messages, all of which were New Year's messages sent to him.
There are many benefits to holidays, and numbers that are not usually contacted can be easily contacted on holidays. Because you can send text messages through the interface of New Year's greetings, even if the other party doesn't answer him, he won't have any disgusting thoughts.
With Wang Ning's current situation, it is natural that all kinds of New Year's text messages are indispensable, and these text messages come from different people. There are former classmates, peers, people I know now, people I come into contact with, as well as Mr. Shen Chongfeng, some seniors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences! They all sent text messages.
