The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 261 Red Envelope
Qin Huai and Qin Luo sat side by side on the high-speed train, opening red envelopes together with the same expression, similar movements and similar frequency. The stack of red envelopes, some thin and some thick, could hardly fail to attract the attention of the returning passengers sitting next to them.

Of course, they were all watching secretly.

Everyone met by chance on the high-speed train. No normal person would go up to Qin Huai and Qin Luo and stare at them opening their red envelopes.

The brother and sister opened the red envelopes in perfect harmony, both starting with the one they received first.

First open the one given by Huang Shengli.

Qin Luo was so surprised when he opened the red envelope that he cried out in surprise. He then looked around vigilantly to see if there were any criminals who might rob him on the high-speed train. The passengers who were secretly watching were so scared that they looked away to avoid being mistaken for a pervert.

Qin Luo counted quietly.

The brother and sister were very cautious when counting the money. They did not take the money out, but opened the red envelopes like thieves, put their faces close to the money and stared at the contents.

"Brother, there is 1800 in the red envelope that Uncle Huang gave me!" Qin Luo lowered his voice and said to Qin Huai, "I'm rich! How much is in your red envelope?"

"6600." Qin Huai calmly said the number that made Qin Luo's eyes pop out, and reached out to take Qin Luo's red envelope. "What do you mean your red envelope? This is my red envelope. It's used to pay off the debt."

After saying that, Qin Huai took out his phone and looked at the memo: "You still owe me 8617 yuan. I didn't charge you for the snacks I ate during the winter vacation, so I just wiped out the 2 cents. Now you owe me 6817 yuan."

Qin Luo: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Seeing Qin Luo's incredulous eyes, Qin Huai directly put the red envelope in his pocket: "Just spend the 600 yuan from Sister Hong. If you have any money to spend in the countryside during the New Year, count the next one."

Qin Luo suddenly didn't want to count anymore. Her intuition told her that none of the red envelopes she received today belonged to her.

Those red envelopes only stayed in her arms for a short while, and then spread their wings and flew into her brother's pocket. There was no trace of nostalgia, and they left so resolutely and decisively.

Zheng Da’s red envelope is much thicker than Huang Shengli’s, and the red envelope itself is also much larger.

At first glance, the red envelope given by Zheng Da looked a bit like a red envelope, and you could tell it was specially customized.

The bag for Qin Huai contained 28888 yuan, and the one for Qin Luo was a little less, 2888.

This was enough to surprise Qin Luo.

"You still owe me 3929." Qin Huai counted mercilessly.

After opening these two red envelopes, only Gong Liang's stack of red envelopes was left.

In terms of quantity, Gong Liang was undoubtedly far ahead. But the red envelopes Gong Liang gave were all of normal size, some thick and some thin. Qin Huai felt the thickness and felt that Gong Liang's envelope should not be as big as Zheng Da's.

The first one, 88.

The second one, 188.

The third one, 666.

The fourth one, 888.

The fifth one, 1888.

The sixth one, 6666.

The seventh one, 8888.

Eighth, a piece of paper.

Qin Huai: Paper?

Qin Huai pulled out the paper and found it was a check.

A check for 18888.

Qin Huai was not afraid of being laughed at. It was the first time he had seen a real check in his life. His first reaction was to take out his phone and search how to take the check to the bank to exchange it for money after receiving it.

This is very important.

There are 4 more red envelopes behind.

Qin Huai began to hesitate. The last four red envelopes were very thin. According to the style of the eighth red envelope, the remaining four red envelopes would not be filled with...

Qin Huai slowly opened the 9th red envelope and took it out.

A check for 28888.

The tenth one, a check for 66666.

Eleventh, a check for 88888.

The twelfth one is a check for 188888.

Qin Huai:......

Boss Gong!

At this moment, Qin Huai had only one thought.

He was too lazy and didn't make A-grade Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls before leaving Suzhou, which made Mr. Gong suffer. Mr. Gong, don't worry, Xiao Qin will practice hard after returning home for the New Year, and give you a satisfactory answer, so that you can eat A-grade Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls after the New Year!

Qin Huai glanced at the red envelope from the girl next door and started checking it directly.

龚良给秦落的红包相对来说要收敛很多，排列顺序依次为：6、8、66、88、188、666、888、1666、1888、6666、8888和一张18888的支票。

Qin Luo was completely stunned. He was completely frozen, with his phone still in his hand, as if he had just won the lottery. He was in a state of emptiness and stagnation after being ecstatic.

After a long time, Qin Luo finally reacted and found that all his red envelopes had been in Qin Huai's hands. He whispered, "Brother, I don't owe you that much money!"

"I know, I'm just helping you count." Qin Huai returned the red envelope to Qin Luo, "Keep it."

Qin Luo carefully stuffed the red envelope into the interlayer of the schoolbag. After putting it in, he was still not at ease, so he stuffed it in again and held the schoolbag in his hand, intending not to let go all the way.

"Brother, I feel like I've become the heroine of a super-rich novel." Qin Luo's voice became unreal.

"Wake up, the heroine of the super-rich novel is much richer than you. She uses one card to spend 200,000 yuan a day. If she can't spend it all, she will be punished." Qin Huai asked his sister to wake up. "Do you know what to do next?"

"I know!" Qin Luo nodded heavily. "I've checked. There is really no problem with these checks. The format is correct, the signatures are correct, and there is also the bank seal. The Internet said that we should bring proof of identity. If it is a large amount, we need to make an appointment with the bank in advance."

"When we get to Qiu County Bank today, it will definitely be closed. Tomorrow morning we will take our checks to the bank to exchange for money. Then I will be rich!" Qin Luo's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy after becoming rich.

"I will deposit 1 yuan with you first, and I can eat whatever I want during the New Year."

Qin Huai:......

"I mean to tell you to keep the red envelope safe and don't lose it. Now take out your phone and send a message to Uncle Gong to express your gratitude."

"Oh oh oh." Qin Luo quickly took out his mobile phone and began to edit a heartwarming greeting on WeChat. However, his Chinese grades were not good, and he scratched his head for a long time but couldn't think of anything that would make people's eyes light up, feel like a spring breeze but not too deliberate. He could only open the browser and search frantically.

This moment was the moment when Qin Luo regretted most that he did not pass the Chinese language test in the senior high school entrance examination.

Seeing that Qin Luo had already started writing his essay, Qin Huai collected his red envelope and stuffed it into Qin Luo's bag. He took out his phone and sent messages to Huang Shengli and others one by one, informing them that he had boarded the high-speed train safely and thanked all the teachers for the red envelopes. Then he reported his safety in the family group and called Qin Congwen separately to tell him that they could not return to Qinjia Village tonight and had to stay in Qiu County for one night.

Qin Huai then took a look at the group chat of the loving family, paid attention to how Qu Jing and Teacher Chen were getting along, how many buckwheat buns made by her mother Chen Huihong had eaten after returning home, and whether Luo Jun, the lonely old bird, was happy during the New Year.

After caring about his friends in the group, Qin Huai started to scroll through his Moments and liked each one. Finally, Qin Huai sent a message to Director Qin, telling him that the best graduate in the history of the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Home had returned home, and that the welfare home should make a list of what it needed, and that the outstanding graduates should make a big donation during the Spring Festival this year.

Dean Qin unceremoniously sent a long list, and marked the amount at the end: 58 yuan.

Qin Huai:?
Director Qin was so overwhelmed by the amount of the first two donations that he decided to expand and strengthen the welfare program and open a chain of welfare homes?
Qin Huai said that he, an outstanding graduate, was not that outstanding.

Seeing Qin Huai replied with an ellipsis, Dean Qin immediately called, with an unstoppable smile in his voice: "Huai Huai, our Sanmalu Children's Welfare Home is not short of money this year. The money donated by the two caring people you introduced will not be used up this year. Our welfare home is now well-off if we take in two more disabled people."

"If you are back today and have time, please come to the welfare home in the evening. The children miss you so much. They have been asking why Brother Bao Bao hasn't come since the New Year. Is Brother Bao Bao not coming to make dumplings this year? Did Brother Bao Bao forget about them?"

Brother Bao Bao sat on the high-speed rail seat and straightened his back instantly.

"Don't worry, Mom Qin. I'll go to the welfare home after I get off the high-speed train today to put my things away. I may not be able to eat buns tonight, but tomorrow morning's breakfast will definitely be the meat buns I made!"

"Okay, you suddenly showed up to inherit your biological parents' inheritance in Shan City, and everyone was very curious about your family members who never came back. Uncle Qin missed you these days, fearing that you were deceived and taken abroad to make a living. Later, the kind-hearted people you introduced came to the welfare home to donate money, and Uncle Qin became even more worried. He was afraid that you had gone astray and joined a fraud organization to become a high-ranking official and use this method to launder money."

"I couldn't sleep for several nights. If he hadn't been reluctant to part with his 2,000 yuan salary, he would have bought a high-speed rail ticket to Shan City to see if you had opened a community canteen there."

Uncle Qin is the security guard of the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Institute and also the cousin of Director Qin.

Qin Huai laughed dryly: "...I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Qin. Dean Mama, tell Uncle Qin to stop listening to those messy novels and watch some fairy tale dramas if necessary."

"He is afraid of ropes after being bitten once. Didn't Xiao Hui, who left our welfare home six or seven years ago, come back one year and say he made a lot of money doing business outside? He donated 10 yuan to the welfare home, and everyone was very happy. But before the New Year was over, the police came to our house and said that the stolen money had to be recovered."

"I have lost money but I haven't had time to spend it. Otherwise, with the funds of our welfare home, we can't raise 10 yuan even if we sell everything we have and eat wild vegetable porridge every day."

"Not to mention that wild vegetables are expensive these days."

"Xiaohui is still in jail now."

"With this precedent, Uncle Qin is also concerned about you."

"Our welfare home didn't dare spend the large sum of money donated by the first kind-hearted person you introduced last month."

Qin Huai:......

He didn't know that such a small Sanmalu Children's Welfare Home could produce so many talented people. Six or seven years ago, a genius like Xiaohui came out of it. Even after committing a crime, he still did not forget to give back to the welfare home.

"I'll take Luo Luo to the welfare home in the evening. Mother Qin, please prepare the ingredients. Prepare more vegetables, meat, and flour. Oh, and also prepare more glutinous rice flour. Nuts and candied fruits should be available by now. I'll send you a list and you can prepare the ingredients according to the list."

"I don't know how much I can make tonight. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I have to go to the countryside tomorrow morning. If I can't make much, I will take some time on the first and second days of the New Year to make more snacks and let Luoluo take the bus to the welfare home."

Dean Qin said, "No need to send it, I'll go get it directly. It's too much trouble to send it."

"Okay, Huai Huai, send me the list and I'll go buy it now. The welfare home has flour, meat and other things. I still have some bills to settle, so I'll hang up now."

"You can come over tonight and give me some reference on which paintings to choose for the kind-hearted people. Our welfare home has just bought a batch of watercolor pens with all kinds of colors. The children's paintings are very beautiful, and the kind-hearted people will definitely like them."

Dean Qin said he was going to hang up, but he ended up chatting about painting for a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

After finishing all this, Qin Huai looked at the writing progress of Qin Luo's essay next door.

Wrote 11 words: Uncle Gong, thank you so much today.

I haven't finished a sentence yet.

Qin Huai began to suspect that the child had failed the Chinese language test in the high school entrance examination, perhaps because he had not finished writing the composition.

The author of the online article has already written one or two thousand words in this time, and his poor child has been looking up information and organizing the language, and he has only come up with these 11 words after a lot of hesitation.

Until the high-speed train arrived at the station, Qin Luo had not finished writing his thank-you essay.

Judging from the situation, Qin Luo won’t be able to play with his mobile phone when he gets home at night. He has to work hard to practice Chinese writing.

Qin Huai and Qin Luo dragged their suitcases, with Qin Luo carrying a backpack on his front, and left the station together.

"Brother, I want to eat the beef burger at the train station!" Qin Luo made a sound that he wanted to eat as soon as he got out of the station.

"Didn't you use Gong Bo's New Year's money to buy two boxed lunches and a bag of duck necks on the high-speed train? One black pepper beef rice and one Kung Pao chicken rice, and you're still not full?" Qin Huai asked a soul-searching question.

Qin Luo held up a finger: "One more beef burger is missing, the kind with double beef."

Qin Huai had no choice but to say, "Buy one, buy one for me too."

Qin Luo cheered and ran to the beef burger shop at the entrance of the train station with his suitcase.

There is a beef burger shop at the entrance of Qiu County Railway Station that serves the best beef in the county. It claims to make beef patties by hand, but it is just a claim. Qin Huai knows the beef patties source of this shop. The price is high in the same category. Most small shops are reluctant to buy such expensive beef patties. Usually, Qin Luo wants to eat a few during holidays, and the Qin family will not stop him.

During the Spring Festival, the beef burger shop's business was quite good and the store was packed with people.

Qin Huai was waiting at the door with two suitcases, and sent a WeChat message to Huang Shengli and others to report his safety.

While typing, Qin Huai heard a familiar voice.

"Huaihuai, why are you here alone? Where's Luoluo? Did this girl go in to buy a double beef burger again? I'll go call her out, her dad has already bought it for her." Zhao Rong appeared behind Qin Huai wearing a thick down jacket. Without giving Qin Huai time to react, she rushed into the beef burger shop.

Behind Zhao Rong was Qin Congwen, who was carrying two paper bags.

"Dad, didn't you and Mom go to the countryside? Why are you back to the county again?" Qin Huai said in surprise.

"You called your mom and told her that you would not be going back to the countryside today but would stay in the county for a day. Your mom was worried that the quilt on your and Luo Luo's bed was not thick enough, so she took me back on the bus after she answered the phone."

"I've already cleaned it once, and now I'm cleaning it again. When you left, you sent the high-speed rail schedule to the group, so your mom and I came directly to the high-speed rail station to pick you up. We also bought you beef burgers, both double-deckers."

"Your bag contains mashed potatoes, and Luoluo's bag contains corn cobs." Qin Congwen handed the burger to Qin Huai. "You must be starving on the way back. Luoluo, I'm not worried. You have never liked eating when you are on long-distance transportation since you were a child."

"When you were a kid, your mom and I took you to another province to play. We didn't eat a single bite during the 11-hour train ride. Your mom and I were scared. We thought you were sick, so we took you to the hospital to register as soon as we got off the train. But when we got to the hospital gate, you pointed at the vendor selling boiled corn at the gate and said you wanted to eat boiled corn."

Qin Huai didn't expect that he hadn't returned to the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Institute to appreciate the paintings he drew when he was a child this year. As soon as he got out of the train station, he started to recall the dark history of his childhood and could only eat a hamburger awkwardly.

Take one bite.

Hot double beef burger, juicy and delicious!
It would be even more delicious if you add a slice of pineapple and two slices of cheese.

Before he could finish the first bite, Qin Luo and Zhao Rong came out of the hamburger shop.

Qin Luo jumped towards Qin Congwen with a smile like a happy Samoyed, and shouted happily: "Dad, I love you so much! You even bought me my favorite double beef burger. I got a lot of red envelopes today. I will give you one tenth of it when I go back."

Zhao Rong was a little puzzled: "Who gave Luo Luo the New Year's money?"

"The chefs and diners from Gusu." Qin Huai explained simply, "The chefs at Huang's get red envelopes every year. I got a few, and Luo Luo got a few as well."

Zhao Rong nodded, not paying attention, thinking it was just an ordinary New Year red envelope of a few hundred yuan, and said, "Luoluo, then remember to thank them. They gave it to you just for your brother's sake."

"Don't spend the red envelope recklessly."

"I know, mom." Qin Luo couldn't wait to open the hamburger wrapper, took a big bite of the burger, and said vaguely.

"It's so great to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I love it the most!"
