Chapter 301 - 302: It’s Really a Big Loss

Chapter 301: Chapter 302: It’s Really a Big Loss

When it was time for her to leave in the afternoon, Grandma Zhou stuffed several osmanthus buns into her basket and made a point of telling her, "These two largest ones are for Guibao, and this red envelope, you quietly give to Guibao when you get home."

"Alright!" Zhou Zhaodi agreed cheerfully, hooking the basket in her hand and heading out.

She’s so smart. She’s definitely just like her mum!

The twins rarely got to visit their grandmother’s house, and wanting to play with Sister Guibao longer, they insisted on staying.

Chen Honghong had the same idea, to stay a few extra days at her mother’s house. After all, with three extra rooms, it would be more spacious to sleep.

So Lin Xiuwen went back alone, without dinner, since it does get dark early now.

By dark, several daughters-in-law had rushed back to the old Chen household.

Going back to their mother’s house on the second day of the lunar new year, most of them set out early in the morning to make lunch, staying a while after eating before starting to head back, arriving home before dinner.

After all, most families were not wealthy and did not have many rooms to house their daughters and their families who had returned.

The moment Zhou Zhaodi walked in, she called out, "Mom, these are the osmanthus buns my mom asked me to bring back for Guibao to eat."

Not bringing anyone back was okay, but letting her mother-in-law know how much her mum valued and adored her niece was important.

Being good to Guibao, there was definitely no mistake!

Zhao Mei also brought back some peanuts from her mother’s house. Although it was a humble gift, it was the sentiment that mattered.

Li Chunhua, on the other hand, came back empty-handed as usual.

Not only that, but she also gave out a large red envelope. Despite this, she couldn’t avoid a scolding from her mum behind the scenes.

Fortunately, she was wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, so the scolding didn’t hurt too much.

However, it’s the several red envelopes that she gave out and didn’t get back that really hurt her heart.

Liu Lanzhi was even more radiant, looking joyful with a handful of bags from her mother’s house - more than what she had brought from her mother-in-law’s house.

Chen Honghong greeted them with a smile, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, you’re back."

"Little Auntie!"

Chen Erbao’s eyes lit up. He swiftly approached Chen Honghong, humorously wishing her a Happy New Year, "Happy New Year! May everything be prosperous, and hand over the red envelope!"

Hearing this, the other children also crowded around, rushing to wish her a Happy New Year.

"Little Auntie, Happy New Year!"

The chatter and bustling voices made for a lively scene.

Chen Honghong was surrounded by the children and couldn’t have been happier. She took out the red envelopes that had been prepared in advance from her pocket and gave one to each child.

The children opened their envelopes to find a two-cent red envelope, immediately bursting with joy.

This year they received the most New Year’s money!

Chen Jianguo and his brothers also took out red envelopes from their pockets and gave them to the twins, the same amount as for the children at home.

Seeing the children receive so many red envelopes, Zhou Zhaodi couldn’t help but feel a little envious.

This year, the children received so many red envelopes, adding up to more than three dollars. The money she had saved over the years was only about sixty dollars.

But on second thought, the two-dollar envelope from the Gu Family was the major portion, and was being kept by the adults, she felt satisfied again.

Li Chunhua was truly envious. She didn’t have a single large red envelope!

As soon as Xiaobao received his red envelope, he spent it all on food and toys, not leaving her a single cent, but at least she did get two candies.

And Sanni, that ungrateful one, she couldn’t even get a single piece of candy from her!

Jinbao didn’t even get the large red envelope from the Gu Family to begin with!

By this count, only their family was on the losing end, not gaining anything!

As for Chen Jianmin and Liu Lanzhi, who didn’t have any children and were only giving and not receiving, she didn’t feel at all that they were at a loss!
