When the Spring Festival arrives, the children of each family will give New Year's greetings to their elders to receive New Year's money.
New Year's money is generally distributed by the elders to the younger generations during the countdown to the New Year, indicating the pressure. Historically, there is another kind of given to the elderly by the younger generations, and the "year" of this New Year's money refers to the year, which is intended to look forward to the longevity of the elderly.
However, in recent years, the New Year's money has changed a little, 1,200 can't get it, and 1,200 old people can't bear it. The amount of New Year's money has become higher and has become a matter of course.
Whether the New Year's money is here to see people or money, such a question that many people don't want to face, was severely punctured by a 9-year-old child.
In Weifang, Shandong, a 9-year-old child followed his parents to his grandfather's house to visit the New Year, followed his parents to his grandfather's house, and the atmosphere of family reunion was warm and joyful. On such a joyful day, in order to make his grandson happy, Grandpa decided to play a small game, and at the same time gave the blessing of New Year's money.
Grandpa took out ten brand-new 100 yuan bills and one somewhat old 20 yuan note from his wallet. In other words, grandpa took out a total of 1020 yuan.
To everyone's surprise, the 9-year-old child did not hesitate to take away 20 yuan, but when his grandfather wanted to give him 100 yuan, he shook his head.
Seeing this scene, the father on the side joked that the child:"You're just a little fool, stunned."
Who knew that the child's next answer made him cry out in surprise, and the child said bluntly: "I'm here to see grandpa, not to see money".
This sentence made the child's father feel a lot of shock, he felt that what the child said was quite right, and he was also taught a lesson by the child.
In just one sentence, netizens in the comment area couldn't help but admire
We should all learn from this child. It is necessary not only to keep this sense of ceremony, but also to let this inheritance be passed on. We must not allow red envelopes to become a burden.
Let's learn, a 9-year-old child can say such a thing, we all have to learn hard.
I also think that really caring about a person is not about how much money is given, but from real love and sincerity, and some people are wrong to give money to balance a person's goodness.
This story is really heartwarming and interesting. Think about it, a 9-year-old child, when faced with a bunch of 100 yuan and a 20 yuan card, he chose 20 yuan. Isn't this what we often say "we don't understand the world of children"?
This thing is quite a slap in the face, the idea that "children only know how good money is". In today's society, everyone is desperately trying to make money, as if money can solve all problems. But this little guy's actions are simply telling everyone: "Hey, wake up, not everything can be measured by money!" He values the time with his family more than the extra change, and this emotion and the warmth of home are far more important than the extra change.
Let's talk about the child's sentence "I'm here to see grandpa, not to see money".
How simple it is, but it pierces the heart. Now when everyone gets together, a lot of the time they are swiping their mobile phones, chatting about work, chatting about gossip, and there are fewer and fewer people who really settle down to chat and enjoy the time of family togetherness.
This child's words are like a wake-up call for everyone, reminding us: don't forget, family is the most important thing.
Perhaps, parents and elders can consider redefining the meaning of New Year's money, emphasizing its meaning and wishes, and at the same time educating children to understand the traditional meaning of New Year's money, and learn to be grateful and cherish, rather than focusing only on the amount.
In this way, the tradition of New Year's money can be passed on in the new era, and at the same time, it can adapt to the development of society and maintain its positive cultural and educational values.
