Hard work after winning the lottery

Hua Yun specially taught her how to say New Year's greetings last night.

Nuannuan was wearing a brand-new brocade cotton-padded jacket, looking like a lucky baby who had stepped out of a New Year's painting.

She stood in the center of the living room.

A row of elders sat in front of me.

Great-grandfather Zhou Yinchuan, grandfather Zhou Ye, grandmother Lin Yi.

Nuannuan took a deep breath and focused her energy in her lower abdomen.

That was quite a ritual.

She first put her two little hands together in a very serious manner and shook them.

Then he shouted loudly at Zhou Yinchuan:

"Happy New Year, Madam!"

(Great-Grandpa, Happy Chinese New Year!)

"Hey! Good, good, good!" Zhou Yinchuan grinned from ear to ear.

Then, the main event began.

Nuannuan should have said "Wishing you prosperity".

However, these four words are really too advanced for a baby who is just over one year old.

Her face flushed red as she tried her best to recall all the words in her mind.

"Grandpa...Grandpa...West..."

Stuck.

Zhou Yinchuan looked at her encouragingly: "What's there to congratulate me on?"

Nuannuan's eyes darted around.

She decided to skip the fluff and get straight to the point.

She stretched out her two chubby little hands, palms up, in front of her great-grandfather.

Those big, bright eyes rang out, and she uttered two words with righteous indignation:

"Red envelope!"

The entire room fell silent for one second.

This was followed by a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha! This kid is so honest!"

"Yes, yes, yes! 'Wishing you prosperity' is a lie, the real thing is the red envelope!"

Zhou Yinchuan was overjoyed. He pulled out a thick red envelope, as thick as a brick, from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Nuannuan's hand: "Here you go! Great-Grandpa is giving you a big one!"

Nuannuan could barely hold that big red envelope in both hands.

She glanced down at it; although she didn't know how much money was inside, the thickness of the container made her feel safe.

"Thank you, Madam!"

Next comes the assembly line operation.

He walked up to his grandfather, Zhou Ye.

"Yay! Red envelopes!"

Zhou Ye obediently took out the money.

He walked up to his grandmother, Lin Yi.

"Milk! Red envelope!"

Lin Yi smiled and hung an exquisite embroidered red envelope around her neck.

When they arrived in front of their three older brothers.

Sudden change in painting style.

Si'an, Si'le, and Si'tao were already prepared.

However, they didn't have that much money, so the red envelopes were rather meager.

But these three kids actually put on a ceremony.

Si'an took out a certificate she had drawn herself and read it aloud in a serious tone: "In view of the fact that although Zhou Nianyun loved to cry, fuss, and eat in the past year, she successfully healed the mood of the whole family, she is hereby awarded the 'Most Adorable Little Sister in the Universe' award! Prize money—two hundred yuan!"

After saying that, he handed over a thin red envelope.

Nuan Nuan didn't understand what "healing" meant, but she understood the last gesture.

He took it and stuffed it directly into the small cloth pocket in his arms that held the money.

Their movements were so practiced it was heartbreaking.

At last.

When the warm little cloth bag is already bulging and can hardly hold any more.

She walked up to Zhou Yanjin.

Zhou Yanjin sat on the sofa, holding the thinnest red envelope in her hand.

It was so thin it looked like it wasn't filled with money.

Actually, it contains a black card supplementary card with no spending limit.

Nuannuan looked at the thin red envelope with a hint of disdain.

She frowned and pointed at the red envelope: "Thin!"

It means: That's too little!

Zhou Yanjin raised an eyebrow: "Not enough? Then don't want it?"

He made a gesture as if to retract his actions.

Nuannuan reacted quickly and grabbed her father's wrist.

Even though I'm disgusted by it, every little bit counts!

She snatched the red envelope, stuffed it into her pocket, and then gave Zhou Yanjin a perfunctory kiss on the cheek.

"Good dad! May you prosper!"

Zhou Yanjin touched the drool on her face and looked at her daughter's small cloth bag, which was full of things and jingled as she walked.

Can't help but laugh.

"Little money-grubber."

Of course, Hua Yun eventually confiscated all the money with the age-old lie that "Mom will keep it for you first."

Time is like dough with baking powder; in the blink of an eye, it expands so much that it catches you off guard.

Spring goes and autumn comes, the sycamore leaves in City A turn yellow and then green again, green and then yellow again.

That little glutinous rice ball who once cried in the snow for braised pork can now run around the house chasing cats and dogs with its short legs.

In the early summer of that year, the Zhou triplets also reached the first important milestone in their lives—graduating from primary school.

In June, the sunlight in City A already had a scorching feel to it.

Luxury cars were gathered outside the elementary school auditorium.

Although it was just a primary school graduation ceremony, for these parents, the sense of ceremony had to be maximized.

Zhou Yanjin specifically turned down a multinational conference worth over 100 million yuan today.

At this moment, President Zhou was half-squatting under the shade of a tree, holding an exquisite little folding fan in his hand, diligently fanning Zhou Nianyun.

"hot……"

Today, Nuannuan was dressed up by Huayun and looked like a little princess who stepped out of a fairy tale book.

She wore a pink tutu dress with layers of lace trim that resembled blooming peonies. Her hair was carefully braided into a fishtail braid and adorned with several sparkling crystal flower hair clips.

It's really beautiful.

It's really hot.

"Be good, just bear with it, your brothers will be out soon."

While fanning herself, Zhou Yanjin also had to keep a close watch on the little rascal as he tried to pick at the hair clip on his head.

Hua Yun stood to the side, holding a DSLR camera, gazing longingly towards the entrance of the auditorium.

"Why aren't they out yet? Didn't they say it would end at ten?"

Just then, the auditorium doors opened.

A large group of little radish-heads dressed in dark blue mini graduation gowns surged out.

Although they are primary school students, kids these days are well-nourished and grow as tall as saplings.

"There it is!" Hua Yun, with her sharp eyes, spotted her three conspicuous bags at a glance.

There's no way around it, these triplets are just too good-looking.

Although they have similar faces, their temperaments are completely different.

Si'an walked on the far left, her back ramrod straight, her expression calm, even displaying a maturity beyond her years, holding her graduation certificate in her hand.

Sile walked in the middle, waving goodbye to the female classmate next to her with a bright smile. Her peach blossom eyes were already beginning to take shape, and who knows how many young girls she would bewitch in the future.

As for Si Tao... this kid's hat is all crooked, and his graduation certificate is rolled up into a tube, which he's using as a telescope to look around aimlessly.

Although the three brothers moved differently, their eyes scanned the dense crowd.

They are looking for someone.

To be precise, they were looking for that little pink dumpling.

When Si'an's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on the little figure being held by her mother under the shade of a tree.

The corners of her mouth, which had been tightly pursed, lifted up almost imperceptibly.

At that moment, the ice and snow in the boy's eyes melted away, turning into a pool of spring water.

"Mom! Dad! Warm!"

Si Tao's loud voice was the first to break the silence.

The kid rushed over in a flash.
