While they waited, their mouths were not idle. After the bowls and chopsticks were removed from the round table, a bunch of snacks and candies were placed on them.
Winter melon candies, orange candies, lard candies, mung bean cakes, bubble gum... There are also the kind of biscuits and chocolates that are only available in the county, plus all kinds of melon seeds and peanuts, homemade brown sugar cubes, too many to count.
The children were all overjoyed. In the past, they only envied other children. This year, others envied them.
Some of these candy snacks, I guess they have never seen them before.
Moreover, you can eat enough by yourself!
Because it is Chinese New Year, grandparents are not easy to scold, so of course they should take the opportunity to eat more. So, even though they were full just now, the four boys still stuffed snacks and candies into their stomachs, without stopping for a moment.
Even a junior high school student like Shen Zhishu and Shen Zhili is eating like a child at the moment, and soon the table is full of all kinds of wrapping paper and melon seeds and shells.
Fu Bao didn't keep his mouth idle, he ate with his brothers until his cheeks and stomach bulged, just like a greedy little squirrel.
Huo Jinxi was not as greedy as they were, so he watched Fu Bao eat and helped her peel the candy wrappers and melon seeds.
Several adults wrapped red envelopes in the back room, and when they came out, they saw a group of greedy cats, and they couldn't laugh or cry.
It's alright for Fu Bao to like these snacks and candies when he was young, but why are her four older brothers so greedy? It seems that it was caused by the hard life in the past and the fact that there was no good food to eat during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing the adults coming out, the children stopped immediately, turned their heads, looked at the adults with a smile, and yelled auspicious words together, "Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, I wish you a happy new year, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes!"
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't help laughing "puchi" when she saw them playing tricks.
She couldn't bear to criticize Fubao, so she scolded the four boys, "You really, how can you ask for New Year's money face to face, where did you learn it, are you ashamed? You can only shout at home, you can't do this when you go out, it's embarrassing!"
Shen Zhile stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Grandma, didn't the radio yell like that just now? We learned from it! Don't worry, we don't tell people outside, we only talk at home. Grandma, how much is the New Year's money this year, hehe~"
Mrs. Shen saw their expectant faces, and Fu Bao, whose anticipating appearance was so cute, she couldn't help laughing, and took out a few red envelopes from her pocket, each of which was bulging, and it felt like there was a lot of money in it.
The other four adults also took out the red envelopes they had made, and gave them to Fubao first, and then to other children.
Fu Bao was very happy when he got five red envelopes. He smiled so that the dimples on both sides of his cheeks were deeply sunken. He deftly opened the red envelope given by Mrs. Shen with his two little hands, and took out a thick stack of ten yuan bills from it. After counting, there were actually ten pieces.
Ten cards, that's one hundred yuan!
Seriously, how many rural children can receive so much money during the Chinese New Year
For them, one hundred yuan is already enough to buy whatever they want!
But Fubao, Mrs. Shen alone gave her one hundred yuan, plus the old man Shen Jianlin and Lin Xiujuan, a total of four hundred yuan!
The red envelopes for boys are much smaller than Fubao, and each red envelope is worth ten yuan. Four red envelopes are forty yuan, but they are still very happy.
The previous red envelope was only one yuan, but it has increased ten times this year. Can you be unhappy
