The eldest sister's family is wealthy, her husband is the chairman of the company, and her grandson is studying in an aristocratic school, and all the luxuries in the family reflect wealth and status. Relatives and friends came to curry favor with the eldest sister and brother-in-law, which was shocking.
The eldest brother-in-law is extremely concerned about the gift brand, and for the high-endAlcohol and tobaccoThere is a unique need for a gift that is heavy and expensive, which is too much for the average family to bear. For example, the gift to the eldest brother-in-law must be 1916 cigarettes and MoutaiWuliangyeand other high-endAlcohol and tobaccoThis kind of request makes gift-giving quite difficult.
Her grandchildren, sons, and daughters-in-law bought the property in full and drove a luxury carlifeCarefree and extravagantlifeThe way is really out of reach for the average family. Although the eldest sister is not demanding about gifts, the eldest brother-in-law's requirements for gifts are unbearable.
My brother-in-law attaches great importance to high-end gifts, believing that the value of the gift represents respect for the recipient. However, I think it's important to be courteous and affectionate. Although the brother-in-law's return gift was expensive, it was not practical for us. We usuallylifeBe frugal and don't extravagantly consume these high-end items.
Faced with the brother-in-law's demanding demand for gift brands, the sisters were troubled, and gift-giving became a problem. Once, my brother-in-law took a boxFruitsAs a gift, he was reproached by his brother-in-law, which hurt his brother and daughter-in-law. Therefore, the sisters discussed one after another and decided not to give gifts, but to give a red envelope of 500 yuan to the grandson of their brother-in-law.
My brother and I are terrified every Chinese New Year, for fear that the gifts we give are not decent enough and offend my brother-in-law. We try our best to buy high-end thoughGifts, but still difficult to meet the demanding standards of the brother-in-law. As a result, I can only choose to give up the practice of giving gifts, and instead give red envelopes to my brother-in-law's grandson to avoid embarrassment and contradictions.
NowadaysSocialBecause of the atmosphere, dealing with rich relatives is also like sneaking*** We have to be cautious, for fear of offending each other and causing an embarrassing situation. Greeting a wealthy relative has become a matter of not only considering the identity and status of the other party, but also considering the value and meaning of each gift.
Perhaps, in such a substanceSocialGifts are not only a way to express emotions, but also a symbol of status and identity. However, the preciousness of the gift does not represent everything, what matters is the depth of affection. In the dealings with rich relatives, we might as well use a more intimate way to express our hearts, perhaps the sincerity beyond the red envelope is the most precious gift. Fate has made us born into different families and have different wealth, but the purity and kindness of our hearts do not distinguish between rich and poor. I hope that in the future gatherings, we can understand each other better and treat each other with gratitude and tolerance.
