Chapter 200 New Year’s Money

Same-city delivery?
He Pu asked, "Do you know who sent it?"

The property management staff glanced at the slip and said, "It was sent by a Mr. Sun Huanyu."

The He family members' lips twitched. Sun Huanyu?
Why send them a same-city courier service on New Year's Eve?

He Pu looked at He Nanzhou, "Did you receive some important documents?"

He Nanzhou was unaware of this. He asked the property management to bring the package in, then checked his phone and found no prior message from Sun Huanyu.

The package arrived, but it wasn't a big box.

He Nanzhou opened it and found a... big red envelope inside?
Just then, Sun Huanyu received a call, but he wasn't calling He Nanzhou; he was calling Chaochao.

Chaochao and Yuanyuan had just set off two fireworks in the yard and were about to go inside for a drink of water when their watch phone rang.

As soon as the call connected, a lively commotion came from the other end. With the noisy background noise, Sun Huanyu's somewhat smug tone became somewhat indistinct.

"Chaochao, did you receive the package?"

Chaochao glanced at the delivery box not far away and asked curiously, "Is that for me?"

"Yes, it's for you."

He Nanzhou walked over, frowned, and asked, "Why did you send this to Chaochao?"

“This is my New Year’s money, the money I gave to Chaochao.” Sun Huanyu said proudly. “I originally wanted to transfer the money directly, but I guessed you wouldn’t accept it. Besides, it’s New Year’s, so it wouldn’t be proper without a red envelope. I just had it delivered by same-city courier. Young Master He, this is a New Year’s red envelope, you can’t refuse it.”

He Nanzhou sighed and asked Jian Yunsang, who was standing beside him, "How much did they give?"

Jian Yunsang had just finished counting when she said, "Twenty-eight thousand eight."

"Okay, I got it." He Nanzhou didn't refuse; he would return it later.

Sun Huanyu chuckled and said to Chaochao, "Happy New Year, have fun!"

After speaking, I hung up.

But He Pu was very unhappy. "I was originally thinking of being the first to give out New Year's money, but he beat me to it."

Chaochao ran over and said, "It's okay, Grandpa. I haven't touched Uncle Sun's red envelope yet. I'll take yours first."

He Pu was immediately appeased. "Our Chaochao is so sensible. Come on, everyone, Grandpa is giving you red envelopes."

The old man rubbed his hands together, eager to make a profit, and took out the red envelopes he had prepared beforehand.

Chaochao was the first to line up. She had barely said "Happy New Year" before He Pu eagerly handed her the red envelope, before she could even finish saying the many auspicious words she had prepared.

"Happy New Year, sweetie, here you go."

The red envelope was heavy. Chao Chao touched it and it felt hard. It didn't feel like a bill or a coin.

Before she could figure it out, she heard Yuanyuan's surprised voice, "Grandpa, this year's New Year's money is gold bars?"

"From what you're saying, you're not very satisfied?"

Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, I'd like it even if Grandpa gave me a leaf. But I hope Grandpa can give me something else next year."

Hey, this kid's making demands now? He used to take whatever he was given and hand it over to his parents right away, but now that he's grown up, he's even starting to look down on gold bars, huh? "What is it? Tell me."

Yuan Yuan chuckled, "I hope next year I can get a vending machine, the kind with a key that I can open myself, and it'll be filled with all sorts of snacks."

Everyone was speechless. The New Year's money you asked for was really unusual. Why didn't you just say you'd give me snacks?

He Pu ignored him and continued to send red envelopes to He Zheyan.

He then gave one to Jian Yunsang and one to Tang Muhan, and then turned to give one to his wife, and that was it, he had given out all the red envelopes.

Chaochao held the gold bars, looked at everyone, and then at He Nanzhou.

Then, when no one else was paying attention, she carefully moved to his side and handed him the red envelope in her hand, saying, "Dad, don't be sad, you can have my red envelope."

He Nanzhou was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "Dad doesn't need to. Chaochao can keep it herself. From now on, you can keep all the New Year's money you receive and use it however you want, or save it if you want."

"But..." Chaochao wanted to say something, but Yuanyuan had already run over and pulled her, "Let's go, let's go play."

Chaochao could only run out after them, and soon the courtyard was lit up again.

The grand opening ceremony under the celestial canopy also coincided with the Spring Festival.

Their New Year's Eve dinner may not be as grand as Chao Chao's, but they always have two more dishes on the table.

Eating while gazing at the sky – isn't that a kind of enjoyment?
"Chaochao's New Year's money is actually gold! Their family is really rich."

"I only received two copper coins as New Year's money this year, and I can't even keep them for myself. Sigh, what's the difference between this and not receiving any New Year's money at all?"

Even the Chaoyang Orphanage was bustling with activity. He Hua brought her youngest daughter, Aunt Yu's mother-in-law brought over two dishes, and there were also Da Ya's parents with her younger sister, Da Shan's son, Liang Ping's parents, and so on. These families, whose relatives were not around, all gathered at the orphanage.

The orphanage now has more than 30 children, and for them, such a lively and sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner is something they never dared to dream of.

Last year during the Spring Festival, they were still living a life of hardship, sleeping outdoors and could only watch with envy as others reunited with their families in warm houses.

Now, they finally have a place to belong.

Not only them, but also several other children who did not meet the criteria for admission to the orphanage but were indeed without relatives or friends were brought together to celebrate the festival and stay there at night.

Liang Wei was also there, and Gao Hongfei invited him to have dinner together in the county town, but he declined.

He sat alone in the corner, watching the people come and go, and suddenly felt a sense of peace. He had never experienced such a life before.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Ye Huai and his sister. Ye Zhi had fully recovered and was in good spirits. At this moment, she was following behind Ye Huai like a little tail.

Ye Huai was the oldest among the children. Although he had lost an arm, the children in the orphanage still regarded him as their leader.

Otherwise, they are not special.

until……

Ye Zhi's crisp voice rang out, "I know, it's one hundred and twenty-two."

Liang Wei straightened up slightly and noticed that the children were counting. Ye Zhi was only three years old, but she was the first to figure out the answer.

Not only that, isn't this counting numbers over one hundred? She hasn't had any systematic training, and didn't she see that the other children in the orphanage couldn't even recognize all the numbers from one to ten? How could she be so fast?

Liang Wei narrowed his eyes, finally understanding what those hundreds of energy values ​​meant.
