Chapter 147 New Year's Red Envelope Interlude

Even though her father had broken her heart, Le Bao, who loves her mother, didn't forget that today is International Women's Day and that her teacher had told her to give her mother a gift.

Because the little one has no concept of money, she didn't know that in addition to those incredibly expensive jewelry and diamonds, her safe also contained countless large red envelopes that she had earned by kowtowing during the Lunar New Year, and the red bills inside could be used to buy anything.

Speaking of the red envelopes received during the Chinese New Year, we can't help but mention the amusing stories of the two little ones visiting relatives and friends during the holiday.

Given how much the chubby boy was pampered, she wouldn't have needed to do anything; a large red envelope would have already fallen into her lap.

But she had a playful uncle.

Shen Shilan stumbled upon a video online of people in mainland China kowtowing and offering basins during Chinese New Year greetings. It happened to be during the Lunar New Year, and he had never given any money to his children for the New Year except when he was a child, when he used his pocket money to buy things for his younger sister. So he found it particularly strange.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone got up very early.

Le Bao was still staying at the Shen family home with Shen Wanning. After breakfast, she went to dig the sleeping little pig out of bed.

Last night there were fireworks and firecrackers, and the little guy was so excited that he didn't fall asleep until almost midnight.

Le Bao, still half asleep, was tidied up by her mother, who held her and fed her breakfast before she was fully awake.

Shen Shilan, who had been waiting on the side, could no longer contain himself.

After watching his niece finish breakfast, he took out a stainless steel basin that he had prepared at some point and placed it in front of him.

"Baby, come here, Uncle has something good to show you."

Upon hearing that there was something good, Le Bao ran over excitedly and hugged his leg, her face full of anticipation.

"Baby, look at this. If the children in this picture do this, they can get a red envelope with money in it. They can buy lots of things with it."

Knowing the little guy didn't understand money, he specifically emphasized that he could buy things. For a foodie like him, wasn't that an incredibly tempting offer?

"Will your uncle give it to the baby?"

After watching the child's actions in the video, Le Bao looked up and asked.

"Of course, your uncle has already prepared a big red envelope for you."

Shen Shilan took out a large red envelope that she had prepared in advance; it was quite thick.

"What are you doing now?"

Xiang Jiahui looked at her youngest son acting mysteriously and thought to herself that he must be up to no good.

Sure enough, as soon as he took out the red envelope, Le Bao, who was standing, suddenly knelt down, his forehead hitting the basin with a thud, immediately creating a small dent in the bottom of the basin.

Shen Shilan didn't expect her niece to be so honest, without any restraint, and directly bumped her head against her.

He quickly bent down and helped the little guy up.

Le Bao didn't expect it to hurt when she bumped her head. Just as she was about to cry, Shen Shilan stuffed the huge red envelope into her hand, rubbed her forehead, and then ran away quickly.

Because if he were even a fraction of a second slower, that damn feather duster would be falling on him.

His mother doesn't believe in the saying "don't hit your child during the New Year."

Holding a large red envelope in her hand, Le Bao watched her uncle run away like a monkey and held back the tears that were about to spill out.

Hehehe, I've got money now, I can buy candy!

"Baby, does it hurt?"

Xiang Jiahui tenderly stroked her granddaughter's head, then glared at the culprit standing in the distance.

"Ouch, money, baby's."

Le Bao touched his forehead and then looked at the red envelope and grinned foolishly.

Shen Wanning and Shen An didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It's Chinese New Year, after all, and it's all about having fun.

Then she also followed Shen Shilan's example:

"Baby, come here and kowtow to Mommy. Mommy has also prepared a red envelope for you."

Upon hearing this, the little one quickly picked up the basin from the ground, ran to her mother, and knelt down with a thud, banging her head on the stainless steel basin again.

Xiang Jiahui tried to stop him but couldn't.

She gave her daughter a reproachful look:

"Why are you going along with your brother's nonsense?"

"It's Chinese New Year, all we want is to be happy, Mom. Don't worry about it, we know what we're doing."

When the chubby boy bumped into something, she used her hand to cushion his fall, so he wasn't hurt.

"Mommy, money."

After finishing her kowtow, Le Bao reached out to take the red envelope from Shen Wanning's hand.

"Baby, you have to say 'Wishing you prosperity' before Mommy will give you a red envelope."

"Congratulations, Flower Chai, bring me the bag."

After receiving the red envelope from her mother, her little hands were full. She wanted to put it in her pocket, but the red envelope was too big to fit.

At this moment, her uncle, who was standing in the distance, came online again.

He found a shoulder bag, hung it around Le Bao's neck, and put the two large red envelopes into the bag for her.

"Alright, remember, these two items are your equipment today. When you see someone bigger than you, say 'Congratulations on your fortune,' 'Give me a red envelope,' and then kowtow to them. Got it?"

My uncle was still coming up with bad ideas, and my grandmother's nagging gaze was already getting impatient.

"Two things are still missing."

Shen An, who had been standing by the side the whole time, made his move.

He found a thick woolen hat, attached a thick square piece of cloth to the bottom of the brim, and put the hat on. The cloth just covered Le Bao's forehead, so that even if she bumped her head, it wouldn't hurt.

Then he found a pair of knee pads and tied them to the little girl's knees, firmly protecting her little knees.

After doing all this, the three of them circled around Le Bao with satisfaction.

Shen Huaqiang and Xiang Jiahui watched speechlessly as their granddaughter was being manipulated by their children and grandchildren. Did their beloved granddaughter really need to kowtow to get a red envelope?

"Alright, now everything is complete. Come on, let's finish the prayers at home first."

As Shen Shilan spoke, he turned Le Bao toward his older brother, Shen Xizhou, who was standing to the side.

"Go and wish your eldest uncle a Happy New Year."

"I don't need to..."

Just as Shen Xizhou was about to say that he didn't need to kneel, Le Bao had already knelt down on both knees and performed the usual ceremony for his uncle, successfully receiving the big red envelope from his uncle.

Then came my older brother, Shen An, and finally my maternal grandparents.

Looking at the bag full of red envelopes, Le Bao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, now that Le Bao has finished his prayers, it's your turn. Here, the basins are here, come one by one."

Xiang Jiahui and Shen Huaqiang sat on the sofa, looking at their three children and grandchildren who were standing.

You made my grandson go through the same thing you just did, and you all do it to me again.

"Mom, we don't need to. Just give it to Xiao'an. We're all grown up now."

Shen Shilan looked at his parents, who were sitting upright, with embarrassment. He didn't really want the red envelope.

"Hurry up, what's wrong? You've grown up and you don't recognize me as your mother anymore?"

You think you can escape? No way.

Shen Xizhou: Why should I be implicated in their misfortunes?

Shen Wanning and Shen An didn't feel embarrassed at all and knelt down readily. Shen Xizhou and Shen Shilan, however, hesitated for a while before finally kneeling down as well.

The three older men knelt in front, while Shen An, being the younger generation, knelt behind them.

After the first three people kowtowed on the basin in turn, Shen Huaqiang and Xiang Jiahui also took out the red envelopes they had prepared in advance, but the thickness of these red envelopes was different.

"Why is it only 20 yuan?"

Shen Shilan opened the red envelope given to her by her parents with expectant eyes, rummaged inside, and found that there was indeed only 20 yuan.

"Give it back if you think it's too little."

He dodged the red envelope that Xiang Jia Hui reached out to grab.

Give it back? Impossible. Even the smallest amount was earned by kneeling and kowtowing.

Shen Wanning sensed something was wrong as soon as she received the red envelope; it was too thick. She suspiciously poured out the money, and good heavens, she couldn't even hold it all in one hand.

"Why are there so many younger sisters? Mom and Dad are being unfair. You favor girls over boys."

Seeing the red bills that her younger sister had dropped on the ground due to their excessive thickness, Shen Shilan felt a deep sense of 'malice'.

"You dare compare yourself to your sister?"

Well, his mother's one sentence left him speechless. He chose to shut up.

"Brother, how much is it?"

"They should be the same," he thought to himself.

As a result, Shen Xizhou also produced many red ones. Undeterred, he went to look at his nephew Shen An's, and was even more heartbroken after seeing them.

Why is he the only one who's 20?

"Why? Your older brother works hard at the company and has children to support. Xiao'an is still a child. What do you, a lifelong bachelor, need so much money for?"

Well, it's his fault; it's all because he's single.

When Xiang Jia Hui couldn't see him, Shen Huaqiang secretly gave him another thick red envelope.

"Here, this is for you. Your mom has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, don't you know that?"

Shen Shilan hugged his father, moved to tears.

Le Bao eventually made a fortune with her outfit, storing it all in her safe, though she herself forgot about it.
