The Local Lazy Man System

Although the New Year’s Eve dinner was very rich, everyone did not eat much, especially the children, who put down their chopsticks within ten minutes of serving, and everyone looked at the adults with eyes wide open. "Le" Wen "Novel" www.lw

This is for New Year's Eve.

"Hehe, several of my great great-grandchildren, two for each."

As the oldest elder, the old village chief took out a stack of Hua Xia coins and distributed them to his great-grandchildren two hundred per person.

People in the old village chief's era were married relatively early, including his sons who were married early, and their grandchildren were basically grown-ups. Now the children in the family are all his great-grandsons and great-granddaughters.

"Thank you Grandpa Zeng."

Several great-grandchildren happily accepted Grandpa's New Year's Eve money. To be honest, the happiest time when children eat New Year's Eve dinner is when adults give New Year's Eve money.

"This is for you."

The old village chief gave several great granddaughters one hundred per person. It can be seen from this that the old village chief is very patriarchal. However, this is not only the case of the old village chief, but also the other old people in the village, and patriarchy is still very common in the rural areas.

"Thank you Grandpa Zeng."

Several great-granddaughters happily took over Grandpa’s New Year's Eve. To be honest, the happiest time when children eat New Year's Eve dinner is when adults give New Year's Eve money.

During the Chinese New Year or New Year's greetings, the elders will give the younger generation (mainly children) red envelopes, which is the new year's money.

It means that in the new year, children can grow up in peace and health. There is a widely circulated story about New Year's money.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a kind of little demon called "Xiao", who came out on the night of New Year's Eve to touch the head of a sleeping child with his hand. The child often cried with fright and then got a headache. Become a fool. Therefore, every family has lights on this day, and the adults are sitting and not sleeping. It is called "Shouzheng".

There is a couple who have gotten a child in old age and regarded them as dear ones. It’s New Year’s Eve. They were afraid of "sordid" to harm the children, so they took out eight coins to play with the children.

When the child fell asleep when he was tired from playing, they wrapped eight copper coins in red paper and placed them under the child’s pillow. The couple dared not close their eyes.

In the middle of the night, a gloomy wind blew open the door and blew out the lights. As soon as "Xiao" reached out to touch the child's head, there was a flash of light on the pillow, and "Xiao" ran away in fright.

the next day. The couple told everyone about wrapping eight copper coins in red paper to scare away the "sickness". After everyone learns to do it, the children will be fine.

It turned out that the eight copper coins were changed by the Eight Immortals to protect the children in secret. Because "祟" and "year" are homophonic, it gradually evolved into "new year money".

...

After the old village head paid the new year's money, everyone also gave the children the new year's money, basically one hundred or two hundred. Even Ye Shuting, the sister-in-law, also gave the new year's money to her little niece and nephews.

Of course, it is impossible to give all of this money to the children. Parents will ask for the money from the children, nothing more than deposit the money with the mother first. When you go to school, I will sign up or buy clothes for you.

Of course, they won't be taken away all, and dozens or hundreds of pieces will be reserved for children to spend during the New Year. Other money, except when sleeping on the New Year's Eve, is placed under the pillows where the children sleep, and will be saved by the adults.

Seeing these children taking the New Year's money, Ye Yaorong couldn't help but think of himself. When he was a child, the happiest time was when his parents gave him New Year's money and took money. I went to the small shop to buy toys.

At that time, the countryside was also poor, and it was pretty good to have 100 yuan for the new year's money at the end of the year. One year I bought all my New Year's money for toys, and a hundred dollars was gone. In the end, he was beaten up by his father because of misuse of money.

"Your name is Mengmeng, right."

Ye Yaorong said to the little girl in the room. This little girl is Ye Rongfei's daughter, she seems to be three years old this year.

"Ok."

The little girl looked at Ye Yaorong and said timidly. After all, Ye Yaorong is a tall man, and he feels a little oppressive to both adults and children.

This is also why many girls now like to find tall boys as boyfriends. One reason is that if they are tall, the whole person looks more powerful and feels safe.

"Yes, this is the lucky money that my uncle gave you."

Ye Yaorong took out a Hundred Yuan Huaxia Coin to the little girl. Before coming to the old village chief’s house for the New Year’s Eve dinner, Ye Yaorong prepared money and gave the children of the old village chief’s family money.

"Return the money to uncle."

Ye Rongfei's wife immediately said to her daughter.

"Don't, my new year's money is for children. I gave it. There is no reason to take it back. It is a very festive thing to give the children the new year's money." Ye Yaorong said to Ye Rongfei's wife.

"but……"

"No, but come here. Uncle will give you 100 lucky money." Ye Yaorong said to the other children.

"Take it, thank you uncle."

Seeing all the children in the room looking at him, Ye Xianghai could only smile to the children. The children who are celebrating the New Year all want New Year's money, so Grandpa Jong cannot be a villain for the New Year.

Seeing his grandfather Zeng agreed, these children happily accepted the New Year's Eve money handed by Ye Yaorong, and certainly did not forget to say to Ye Yaorong: "Thank you, Uncle!"

After getting the new year's money, these children couldn't stay in the house anymore, they all ran outside the house, either to buy food or to find friends to play.

"Glory, I didn't expect that I would invite you over to have a New Year's Eve dinner, but it cost you a lot." The old village chief Ye Xianghai said with some embarrassment.

You should know that Ye Yaorong just gave each child 100 yuan, so it would cost more than one thousand yuan. In the countryside, this is worth half a month's income of farmers.

"Old village chief, what you said, I am happy to give the children New Year money."

Ye Yaorong said with a smile. I don't know if it's the age to have children. Ye Yaorong especially likes children. Looking at the little children, Ye Yaorong always thinks about when he can have a child.

It seems that after the New Year~www.ltnovel.com~, I really need to have a good talk with my wife.

"Brother Honor, I also want New Year's money." Ye Shuting suddenly thought that Ye Yaorong wanted New Year's money.

"Tingting, don't make a fool of yourself, how old are you, and you still need money for the new year," the old village chief said. In rural areas, children generally won't be given New Year money after they are eighteen.

Of course, it is not absolute. Some children who study cannot make money on their own. During the New Year, their parents will still give him some lucky money. The bigger the children, the more money they need around them during the New Year.

After all, older children have also started to communicate more broadly. Any class reunion, a friend reunion, and those who hang out with a few classmates all need money.

However, this money is generally not given on the New Year’s Eve. It is given to them in advance. After all, the older the child, the thinner the skin. During the New Year’s Eve dinner, in front of so many elders, such a big baby, I am embarrassed to ask for New Year's money.

Of course, it will also cause headaches for other elders who eat this year. For such a big baby, whether or not to give the new year's money, if you do, the new year's money will be too much, and everyone is still a little bit reluctant. (To be continued.)
