It is normal for adults to send New Year's money to each other during the New Year, and adults to give the baby New Year's money, but if there are multiple babies to be brought out to earn money, is it too explicit to be greedy?
I remember when I was a child, I went to my relatives during the Chinese New Year, brought two catties of candy, or two boxes of fruits, and went to my relatives' house for dinner, and my relatives would give me five cents or one piece of New Year's money.
I can't remember when it started, but the taste of the New Year has changed, and the customs have changed. The gifts that everyone brings are expensive, and they don't want to eat at their relatives' houses, so they often think about the route at home, the car is full of gifts, and several relatives are strung along the route a day. After walking to one house, after a few words of greeting, I went to the next one. One thing is different from usual in any case, that is, if you have children, you must remember to give them New Year's money!
On weekdays, most of the relatives with children will not give money. But for the New Year, you have to give New Year's money. Some families have a lot of children, and they all take them with them, and when they go to someone's house, it's scary to be honest! On the surface, this is a string of relatives to pay New Year's greetings, but in fact it is to make money, who can not give New Year's money? I raised a gift of 100 yuan and earned a few hundred yuan! Is there still kinship in such thoughts?
My son goes back to work every year just after the Chinese New Year, and my grandson stays at home with us. When the old man of my family visits his uncle during the Spring Festival every year, he asks his grandson to stay in the car and not come out, so that his uncle's family will not see it, so as not to give money. Why? Because his uncle was old and frail, his son was not married, and his economic conditions were not good, he never visited them to earn money, and sometimes he even gave him 200 yuan. After talking for a while, under the pretext that he was afraid that there would be guests at home, he came back with his grandson.
And some people have two or three or even three or four children in tandem, and the host family will give 50 yuan per person, as if there are too few to take it now, and each person will give 100 yuan, which is a few hundred yuan at a time! I mentioned a gift of 100 yuan and earned a few hundred yuan from others, are you satisfied, have you thought about the feelings of your relatives? For the rich, a few hundred yuan is nothing, but for the rural people who dig money in the soil, a few hundred yuan may be a month's living expenses for the family!
Isn't such a relative too greedy? If you leave without eating, why do you have to take all the children with you? Is this a string of relatives or a trick? People don't give money, and they don't seem to know how to be polite; Give money, people can't live after that?
The meaning of the Spring Festival is nothing more than the gathering of family, relatives and friends, reunion, and revisiting the warmth of family and friendship.
