In Guangdong, red envelopes are called "lai see". Guangdong's New Year's "Baoli is" is generally 5 yuan or 10 yuan, and 50 yuan can be regarded as a "huge amount".
During the Spring Festival, the discussion about the New Year's money continued to heat up, and many netizens were worried about how much money to pack, while Guangdong blew a new wind into the "red envelope world" that was gradually involuted:
"No matter how you fight and the stars change, no matter how much you earn, it won't affect the red envelopes in Guangdong."
But with the development of the times, people's requirements for red envelopes are getting higher and higher, and even dislike has appeared.
February 11, Huizhou, Guangdong.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the woman's two children returned to their parents' house for the New Year, the reaction of the two children to receiving the red envelopes was ridiculed by netizens on the hot search.
Behind this incident, the fig leaf of how many people's face and money are revealed.
At that time, my uncle saw that almost everyone in the family had returned home, so he began to take out the New Year's money and distribute it one by one.
Then, when he saw that there were so many children, he asked them to line up one by one, so that they could pay the New Year's money.
But as a result, one of the nieces saw that her uncle only sent one dollar, and she was instantly unhappy, and immediately shouted with disdain:
"When did you give a dollar, so slam the door? What age is it, only a dollar?"
The woman's son received a dollar and also came to complain to his mother:
"Mom, my uncle just gave me a dollar, one piece!"
Mom just stood by and gloated and watched, laughing non-stop.
After the other children received the New Year's money, in addition to saying "congratulations on making a fortune" to their uncle very politely, they also silently put the New Year's money in their pockets and did not say a word of complaint.
It is understood that my uncle is not married yet, and the family conditions are not very good, and the New Year's money of one dollar is just an auspicious one.
Therefore, many netizens ridiculed:
"What kind of thinking have today's children developed?"
"If you say it's good, it's childlike words, and if you don't hear it, it's uneducated"
"Even if you receive a dollar, you should say thank you instead of complaining there, since he was a child, he is like a resentful woman, he is not qualified to ask others for how much money he will give, this is the minimum truth"
"It's true that a dollar is small, but now although the child's ideas are becoming more and more mature, the minimum upbringing is gone. The red envelope is given, not owed!"
Yes, it is childish to say that it sounds good, and it is uneducated to say that it is not good!
"At the beginning of man, nature is good", an uneducated child must be inseparable from the family education he received. The lack of upbringing of children indicates that the education methods of adults are wrong, and most of them are caused by parents doting on their children.
When the child got the red envelope, he shouted in public and complained about his uncle's slamming of the door, but the mother not only did not educate him at the first time, but laughed louder and louder with the child's complaint.
How can children who grow up under this kind of family education be educated?
Giving out red envelopes and pressing the New Year's money is originally within your means, which is the best.
Slap a swollen face and become fat, and the bitter one is ultimately himself.
New Year's money, that is a blessing and expectation.
However, now the New Year's money is getting more and more, which has really become a big expense for each family during the New Year, and it has become a bit sour. It was a beautiful thing that made the adults lose the true meaning of the New Year's money.
This year, when a woman in Henan returned to her rural hometown for the Chinese New Year, she was directly frightened by the amount of red envelopes in her rural hometown.
Before going back, she deliberately asked her mother to go to the bank to exchange some 50 yuan bills for the New Year's money.
She thought that when she was a child, her family would give a few yuan and ten yuan, never more than fifty yuan, just to be auspicious.
So now, she plans to send fifty red envelopes to her relatives and children, thinking that it should be about the same.
But as a result, she hadn't started to give out red envelopes yet, and her brothers and sisters in her hometown were all giving each other 200, 300, and 500, so scared that she hurriedly went to the bank to get a large amount of money back.
What's more, there are many children visiting the house during the Chinese New Year, at least more than 20.
This is obviously the New Year, but the pressure of giving out red envelopes is no less than the pressure of work.
So she couldn't help but post a video complaining: "Can we learn from our friends in the south in the north, pay attention to a good intention, big or small?"
Some netizens said: "The year-end bonus is not enough to make the New Year's money"
Ms. Wang, 27, said that giving out red envelopes during the Chinese New Year is really a headache.
Before going home for the Chinese New Year, her company issued a year-end bonus of 8,000, thinking that this year-end bonus was enough to pay the New Year's money, but it turned out to be far from enough.
There are 7 children in her family, and each child has to pay 500 yuan and 600 yuan for the New Year, while her husband's family also has five children, each with 600 yuan.
Therefore, she has already sent 7,200 yuan just to her relatives' New Year's money, and basically the year-end bonus has been distributed.
Some Zhejiang women said that Zhejiang people give New Year's money to their children and relatives during the New Year, basically 500~1000 yuan, and even 2000~3000 yuan.
If you encounter a holiday with many children, you have to give red envelopes to more than a dozen children, and they all have to return the same gift, which is really a bit "unaffordable".
At the same time, some netizens said:
His family basically gives 300~500 yuan to his relatives and children, and a person is never less than 300.
If you meet a family with few children, it's fine, but during the Chinese New Year, more than a dozen children come to the door, and you can't hide.
Your family gives me five hundred, and my family gives you five hundred, and it really makes no sense to exchange it.
Therefore, he discussed with his relatives: in order to reduce the burden, they will not send each other big red envelopes during the Spring Festival, and will uniformly send 50 yuan to the New Year.
You see, the New Year's money may not have played the role of "pressing" the children, and it will first "crush" the elderly.
In the past, the New Year's money and red envelopes were given by the elders to the younger generations, which was a good omen and a good wish.
And now it is also relatives who give each other, but the taste has changed a little, and it has become a kind of exchange of interests.
People are always eager to be affirmed and envied by others, and they are afraid of being looked down upon, for the sake of vanity, for the sake of face, they do a lot of stupid acts, grit their teeth to support their face, and live a life of tears in their hearts
The bride price money should be compared, and the New Year's money should also be compared, what happened to this society?
In a certain area, the New Year's money has risen from 5, 10, and 20 yuan to 200 yuan today, which has directly brought great economic pressure to the elderly in the village.
For young people who work outside all the year round, have high incomes, good treatment, and good economic conditions, spending a few thousand yuan for the New Year may not be much pressure.
However, for the elderly in rural areas, they only rely on the income of a few acres of land a year, and they can't get by without paying New Year's money, and they put a burden on their own lives.
Even, the children of some families will dislike the two hundred New Year's money given by the elderly is too little, and they have to give five or six hundred to be satisfied.
In some families, the New Year's pressure for children is as high as 30,000~50,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the income of young people working outside the home for a year.
Of course, for adults from wealthy families, it is also within the scope of their ability to send tens of thousands of yuan a year to go out.
But for people from ordinary families, hard work can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, and how much money is returned according to how much money the child receives, so what's the point?
Some people may say, "It's good to let the child hand in the New Year's money." ”
However, it is good to say that the child pays the tuition or living expenses voluntarily with the child's New Year's money, but most children are involuntary.
If you tell your child that your parents will take you in first and return it to you when you grow up, how many parents can do it?
I think it's good to be like Guangdong, the amount of each red envelope is not large, it is all for an auspicious and colorful head, happy and lively with each other, in line with the traditional atmosphere of Chinese festive reunion.
No matter how big or small the red envelope is, it represents a good blessing, and the person who receives the red envelope accepts it with gratitude, and again: Wishing you prosperity and happy new year!
所以，守护好这份快乐，就要守住压岁钱传承文化、传递祝福的本义，不让年味变“钱味”，不让攀比添负担，让新春佳节更加温馨、和谐和美好。
