339 18 Red Packets
It was late at night, and everyone fell asleep one after another.
Little Ah Yu also entered the spatial pocket and fiddled with the flowers and plants inside.
The ceiling of the spatial pocket could not be seen. Dozens of meters above her head, clusters of fireworks were exploding.
That was because Little Ah Yu had yet to forget the fireworks she had seen just now.
They were all formed by Ah Yu’s consciousness.
Little Ah Yu pointed at the fireworks and said, “Elf, I can also treat you to watch the fireworks. Are they nice?”
[Yes.]
Initially, Meatball wanted to say that it hoped that she could grow up as soon as possible so that it could tell her things that only adults should know.
But now that it looked at Ah Yu who was smiling with such an innocent expression, it hoped that time would pass slower so that Ah Yu could enjoy her childhood for longer.
This was because people were the purest when they were young. Once one became an adult, they could never go back.
“Elf, good night.” Little Ah Yu could not hold back her sleepiness and quickly fell asleep with her eyes narrowed.
Meatball put away all the energy and gently covered Little Ah Yu’s body.
[Goodnight, kid.]
As for the other matters, it would leave them to the adults.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, everyone opened the door. The villagers greeted each other with joy on their faces.
There was only one new year’s day every year. There was no need to do anything or go anywhere. The children could even bring their pocket money to buy food in town.
Wang Liulang and Wang Qilang pestered Wang Silang and Wang Wulang early in the morning to go to town to take a look.
Old Madam Wang gave 20 copper coins to each child. The adults were given 100 copper coins and they were allowed to spend it as they liked.
Tang Yuan also received 20 copper coins. She held the copper coins in her hand and her eyes were red.
This was the first time she had obtained so much money in her life.
Now that the family was rich, Old Madam Wang even gave the children red packets.
Other than Little Ah Yu, Wang Aibao received the most red packets.
Old Madam Wang had prepared 18 for her.
Every one of them contained a different amount.
How could Wang Aibao accept it? “Mother, I’m eating and living at home. I’m already very embarrassed. You can keep these red packets. I don’t have any use for them.”
“It’s not for you alone. No matter how difficult it has been for the family all these years, we still had enough to give out red packets. I’m only compensating you with the New Year’s money from the past years. I can’t make up for the rest. Don’t say that I’m biased.” Old Madam Wang stuffed the red packets into Wang Aibao’s arms. “Your brothers and sisters-in-law have nothing to say about this.”
Wang Chuanfu said from the side, “That’s right, Little Sister. Mother prepares these red packets every year. It’s not like she only prepared them for you now.”
Only then did Wang Aibao take a closer look and realize that the quality of the red packets was indeed a little different. Some of them looked relatively old, and she could tell at a glance that they were very old.
Old Madam Wang must have reserved Wang Aibao’s red packet every New Year.
Even though, at that time, she was very uncertain about whether she could find Wang Aibao.
Wang Aibao’s eyes gradually turned red, and her voice choked. “Mother...”
“Stop crying. It’s the first day of the new year. What’s with crying? Hurry up and put away your things. I still have things to do, so I don’t have time to comfort you.” Old Madam Wang looked like she was avoiding a ferocious beast. Her expression was especially disdainful as she left.
Old Madam Wang only took out a handkerchief and pressed it against the corner of her eye when she was out of sight of her family.
In the end, when she looked up, she saw Third Aunt Hu holding a basket of fruits.
Both of them froze for a moment.
Third Aunt Hu stuffed the fruit basket in her hand into Old Madam Wang’s arms. “That little daughter of mine is troublesome. She came all the way here and sent me so much food on the first day of the new year. Our family doesn’t have that many people, so how can we finish it? Your family has many children. Take it.”
In the past, Third Aunt Hu would never mention her youngest daughter.
It was as if she had never given birth to a daughter.
