One year, on the second day of the Chinese New Year, at noon, the whole family ate at the second aunt's house. When I was handing out the pressure money, I had just given a little boy 100 yuan of pressure money, and my aunt said to me, "No, you gave the wrong person." "I was super embarrassed.
I am a distantly married girl, more than 1,000 miles away from home, and slowly have my own small family and children. Although the distance is constantly affectionate, the number of times to meet is definitely limited. Especially after having children, coupled with work and other reasons, this thousand kilometers of travel, more than eight hours of travel is definitely not as simple as walking.
I don't go home much, twice a year when I'm more, and once a year or two when I'm less. Therefore, the direct result is that I can't recognize the children of the younger generation in the family, and I can't tell which one is the child.
My grandmother had five children, my father, my second uncle, and my little uncle all started a family in our village, and both aunts were married to the same village.
My father has three of our siblings, my second uncle has two daughters, and my uncle has two sons. The eldest aunt has two daughters and a son, and the younger aunt has a son and a daughter. In our generation, there are 12 children in the cousin and cousin, of which 11 are within the age difference of ten years, and one is a little special, the younger son of the uncle, TongTong, is a little far from us, only one year older than my son. The uncle's youngest son is about the same age as our next generation.
Every New Year's Day, I am most worried about the pressure of the year. There are too many children, afraid to forget, send wrong. I don't want to take advantage of anyone, and I don't want to forget whose gifts I want to return. To put it simply, it is a bit difficult to implement, especially I, who can't recognize the next generation of children.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year that year, our family ate at the second aunt's house, and the second aunt prepared four tables of meals, and they were quite sumptuous. The second aunt would prepare ingredients years ago, which consumed a lot of energy, and on that day, the women followed the second aunt to help, and the men got together to brag and chat. Pressing old money is also a matter for women.
This is the case in our family, where our parents give our children 100 yuan per person. We give the next generation of children 50 yuan each. Between our cousins, we said that everyone would not give each other money, saving this trouble.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, my aunt gave 100 yuan to my two children, each child. I went to give my aunt's child Tong Tong money, but a dozen or so children played together in the yard and ran around. There are four or five children around the age of six, and I can't tell which one is Tongtong.
I watched it for half a day, and I thought that a little boy was Tongtong, so I brought him over and stuffed him with 100 yuan of pressure money. However, as soon as I stood up, my aunt stopped me, "Xiao Wei, you gave it wrong, that is your little aunt's grandson." As soon as I listened, I wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, so I quickly asked, "Which is Tongtong?" "The little aunt pointed it out to me. I had to give Tong Tong another 100 yuan of money. This experience made me cry and laugh.
For children, the taste of the year is to receive the old money, the number of years of money. How much money do you give your children?
