Guangzhou people are not called red envelopes. It's called Profit! Good things, big luck!
Regardless of age, as long as you are not married, even if you are sixty years old, you will have a good income.
The interests of Cantonese people do not care about much, only care about the heart.
I remember when I was a child, my father's big brother with the same surname, we all called him "Grand Duke". Generations are very high in the village.
Every New Year's Day, the first day of the New Year, I sit in the alley, and the earliest thing to give me every year is him. He also took the initiative to give to each child. The money is not much. Each time is one dollar per year. But this friendship made many children in the village love him very much.
Now he had already driven the crane to the west. But in the hearts of this generation in our village, we will always remember him. Although there was not much money for profits, when he was alive, he did not lack every year, and he was the first to give me benefits. This friendship, how much money can not be exchanged back!
On the other hand, my aunts in the north only gave red envelopes to children under the age of eighteen, and after adulthood, even if I was not married, I would not receive their red envelopes again. This is completely different from our Guangdong. They give their grandchildren three thousand red envelopes, and some even tens of thousands. The Spring Festival without a New Year's flavor, or receiving red envelopes, became the only fun for children.
If I'm like them, I'm under a lot of pressure. On the third day of the new year, I went to my wife's hometown, and the children added up to more than twenty, and the pro seal was 20 to 50 yuan. The others have two benefits per person, one for 10 yuan. Give the whole part less than a thousand dollars. And they are very happy, in the rural areas of Guangdong, 10 yuan a they are already very satisfied.
If I followed the practice of my uncle in the north, there were not tens of thousands of people who would not dare to visit their relatives.
Cantonese people only care about their hearts and intentions when they give profits. Don't care how much!
Instead, I give to the elders, my father, my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, my wife's grandmother, ranging from one thousand to two thousand. Every year is to give a good idea, like Grandma 999 (long and long) parents on 1888. There is more money to the elders than to give the children the benefits.
In short, I still like our Cantonese customs. In fact, it doesn't cost much money to celebrate the Spring Festival, and more than 10,000 is enough. Too young and relaxed, no pressure!
In Guangdong, as long as you are not married. Meet acquaintances in the New Year, a sentence: Wishing you prosperity! People who know how to do it will take the initiative to give you benefits!
