Spring festival

During the banquet, in addition to Xiaobao and Erniu, everyone also drank a little red wine.

Erniu and Xiaobao gave them a little soda drink.

Grandpa Zhao had a sense of ceremony, and said something with a wine glass, just like the leader spoke at dinner, summarizing everyone's progress in work and life in the past year, and the outlook for the coming year.

He also asked everyone to talk about their work and study plans for the new year and what they expect to achieve.

Everyone in the Zhao family may have been accustomed to such a year-end summary speech, and everyone made a summary and planning and outlook for the future.

Erniu and Xiaobao were infected by this special atmosphere, and they also said that in the new year, they would study hard to maintain their grades of double hundred, and at the same time come back from school to help the family work and make money.

Grandpa Zhao said with a smile: "Everyone is good, we all have good results this year, and we will continue to maintain good results in the coming year and strive for greater progress." Here, cheers, everybody. ”

After eating and cleaning up, Zhang Yu took his younger brothers and sisters home, Xia Yunbo said that he would send them back and went out with them.

It was still early, Xia Yunbo proposed to go to the street, walking on the street, the lively crowd, the continuous sound of firecrackers from far and near, and the smell of sulfur powder in the air made the New Year's flavor even stronger.

The second girl took out all the red envelopes in her pocket.

"Eldest sister, these are all red envelopes received at Grandpa Zhao's house, in addition to the five yuan given by Grandpa Zhao, there are also aunts and uncles, and then Brother Chunhua gave them, a total of twenty yuan."

"This is the New Year's money they gave you, keep it for you to spend! It's the same with Xiaobao's, when I go home later, I'll wrap two more red envelopes for the two of you. It's the New Year, and the eldest sister will also give you New Year's money. ”

Xiaobao said excitedly: "Sister, really? All this money belongs to me? I can buy whatever I want? ”

"Yes! With your own money, you can buy whatever you want. ”

Erniu: "Eldest sister, there is food and clothing at home, there is no shortage of anything, we don't need money."

"Then you will save it."

Erniu: "I don't want it, what do I need, my eldest sister will buy it for me."

"Erniu, learn to manage money by yourself, this is also a science, and it is also a financial ability that must be learned."

"Financial management ability, you still have to learn?"

"Yes! For example, if I give you five dollars, you can spend it and buy some food, clothing, and fun, or you can save this money and use it when you need it when you need it, or you can spend a part of it and keep a part, and then you can turn five dollars into ten dollars or more. These four ways are to learn the ability to manage money. ”

"How do you turn five dollars into ten dollars or more?"

"Let's buy the flour back, make it into steamed buns, and sell it, which is to turn five yuan into ten yuan or more! Of course, this is just one example, there are many other ways and means to put little money more and more. ”

The second girl didn't give up: "What else is the way, give some more examples."

"For example, buy a chicken to grow up at home, and the eggs laid can be exchanged for money, for example, the potatoes in the east are cheap, a penny a catty, and the west costs two cents a catty, we can buy it from the east and sell it in the west, isn't it possible to make a penny a catty! You look at these shops on the street, they're all doing things like how to turn five dollars into ten dollars. ”

The second girl's eyes are bright and thoughtful.

Xiaobao cares about the fact that he can have twenty yuan alone, plus the five yuan given by the eldest sister, which is twenty-five yuan.

Such a large sum of money, completely belongs to his own money, he is very happy, he used to help the family sell steamed buns, those money is just his own hands, he never thought that one day, he can independently dispose of the idea of a sum of money.

He said in disbelief: "Eldest sister, are you saying that I can buy whatever I want with this money?"

"Yes! What do you want to buy? ”

"Candy, balloons, and delicious ......, of course"

Erniu interrupted him: "Xiaobao, you can't spend all the money, you better take the money to the eldest sister and let her keep it for you!"

"I don't, the eldest sister said to use it for me, I can keep it myself."

Zhang Yu: "I believe Xiaobao can manage his own money well, don't you want to buy balloons?" There are people selling balloons in front of them, let's go buy them! ”

Xiaobao was so excited that he jumped up and ran to the stall selling balloons.

The balloons are colorful and attract many children to buy them.

Zhang Yu and the others stood from afar and watched. Xia Yunbo said that a penny is a balloon, and the money in Xiaobao's hand is too big, so he should be given some money for a small amount.

Zhang Yu said that it didn't matter, Xiaobao was spending money on things for the first time in his life, he was already a primary school student, and I believe he could calculate this money clearly.

Xiaobao took out a five-dollar denomination to buy five balloons.

The second girl said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you buy so much?" Just buy one and play around. ”

Zhang Yu: "With his own money, he can buy as much as he wants, no matter what he plays, he won't be so thirsty when he plays enough at one time, not to mention that there are not many five, I'm afraid I have to finish today."

Sure enough, Xiaobao carefully counted the money he had made up, counted it again to confirm, and then put it in his trouser pocket.

Xiaobao ran over with five balloons and gave one of the pink balloons to the second girl.

"Second sister, this pink balloon is suitable for girls to play with, for you."

Erniu is a child after all, she can't help but be driven by curiosity and takes the balloon.

Xiaobao couldn't wait to pick up a green balloon and blew it up, seeing that the balloon was blown bigger and bigger by him, Xiaobao laughed so much that his eyes were crooked, but the force was too strong and the balloon burst.

Xiaobao regretted to catch it, but only caught a little fragment.

Zhang Yu: "It's okay, just set off a firecracker, don't you still have three balloons?" Keep blowing! ”

Xiaobao took out a yellow balloon again and began to blow it, this time, he learned a lesson, blew very carefully, blow a little, see, blow again, and wait until it is to the right extent, tie a knot and plan to tie the balloon mouth, but accidentally let the gas go, and the balloon also soared out.

Xiaobao chased to the ground to get the balloon, got up with a smile and said, "It turns out that you can still run!"

Zhang Yu: "Xiaobao, give me the balloon, and I'll blow it for you."

Xiaobao handed the yellow balloon in his hand to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu took it and blew up the balloon skillfully, blew the balloon just right, tied the mouth up quickly, and then played with the balloon while walking.
