Mother Ge took out the red envelopes and stuffed one into each of their hands. She smiled softly and said: "This is our custom here. We have to give a red envelope as a greeting gift to new customers who come to our house for the first time. There are not many, so just try it."
auspicious."
"Thank you, auntie."
Chi Zao and others all thanked him.
Ge Jiaxi: "Mom, I'll send them out!"
Mother Ge: "Okay, let's go."
The roads in the village are not easy to walk at night.
The street lights are not very bright.
Ge Jiaxi told everyone: "As soon as my car is ready, Senior Zhai will drive it back to the villa. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I will meet you at the villa and we will go skiing together."
Everyone said it was OK.
Chi Zao and Ge Jiaxi walked side by side and asked her in a low voice: "If you don't live in the villa with us, why don't you spend more time with grandma at home?"
Ge Jiaxi nodded and said with some sadness: "Although my parents took me to grow up in Kyoto, when I was a child, only my grandma looked forward to my coming back every year. My grandpa didn't like me because I was a girl, and he always treated me coldly.
When it's right, grandma will call me good girl, come to grandma, grandma loves you...and then secretly stuff me with all kinds of delicious food..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but choke up and have a sore nose.
In fact, she and her father have not returned to their hometown in the past few years, and more often than not they dare not come back. Seeing grandma like this makes her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
When I think that there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, and that I can do nothing but watch my grandma's condition gradually worsen, I feel very bad.
Mother Ge knew that father and daughter had the same temperament, so she decided to be a bad person and insisted not to return to her hometown!
"But... Xiaozao, I regret it when I see grandma like this. My father and I are too selfish. We should stay with grandma more while she is still conscious..."
"Grandpa refused to let grandma go to Kyoto with us. We should have been tougher at that time. Even if we separated, we should have let grandma go with us..."
There is no regret medicine in the world.
Chi Zao comforted her softly: "While your grandma is still conscious, please spend more time with her."
"Um."
Ge Jiaxi wiped her tears and said, "I know. A few days ago, my dad took grandma to see the doctor. The doctor said grandma didn't have much time left. I want to spend this time with her, so I will go skiing with you tomorrow.
I have to rush back. I won’t be able to play with you for the next few days.”
Chi Zao nodded to express his understanding.
Several people got in the car and left.
Ge Jiaxi stood at the entrance of the village and waved to them: "Be careful on the road and call me when you get there!"
Qian Mingxuan gestured OK.
The car lights came on, and the two cars backed up, turned around, and gradually left the straight path of Getai Village.
The surroundings gradually darkened.
A cold breeze blows.
Dim street lights.
The shadow of Ge Jiaxi grew so long.
Until the two cars were out of sight.
Then she turned around and walked towards home.
When I walked to the door, I suddenly noticed a touch of red in front of the threshold.
Ge Jiaxi stepped forward to take a look and realized it was a red envelope.
"Huh? Who dropped it?"
When Chi Zao and the others left just now, her mother stuffed each of them a red envelope at the door.
Ge Jiaxi picked up the red envelope.
Only then did I realize that the mouth was open, revealing a corner of something yellow.
"What?"
Ge Jiaxi was puzzled and thought to herself that her mother would wrap talisman seals for everyone, wouldn't she?
Thinking about it, she poured out the contents of the red envelope.
The result was a strange talisman, a red paper figurine, and a bunch of black hair tied with a red rope...
Ge Jiaxi was completely stunned.
Does her mother make this kind of stuff for everyone?
What is this?
It looks... weird!
Ge Jiaxi felt a chill for no reason, so she quickly stuffed everything back into the red envelope and threw it into the trash can at the door.
He walked eagerly into the house, shouting: "Mom!"
Little did I know.
In the trash can, the mouth of the red envelope slowly popped open.
The red paper man poked his head out strangely...
Squeak.
At the uncle's house next door, the door slowly closed.
Aunt Ge lowered her head, turned around and walked back into the house.
…
In the car.
Xiao Yu didn't open the red envelope and handed it to Chi Zao.
Chi Zao looked at him doubtfully: "It's a meeting gift from aunt. It's a very lucky thing."
Xiao Yu said calmly: "If you keep it for me, it will be double auspicious."
Chi Zao: "..."
You are very reasonable!
Yan Fei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened the red envelope and took out a two-hundred-yuan red banknote. He smiled and said, "This is the first time I have received a red envelope since I graduated from college. It feels strange yet familiar."
Xiao Yu glanced at him coolly, "If you want to experience this feeling, I can change the year-end bonus into a cash red envelope and give it to you."
Yan Fei: "!!!"
Wouldn’t that mean a significant reduction?!
Yan Fei immediately begged for mercy with a mask of pain: "No, I don't want to experience it anymore. I think it's better to pay the year-end bonus directly to the bank card. If I want to experience the feeling of receiving red envelopes, I can experience it when I get married."
"marry?"
Chi Zao was surprised: "Does Assistant Yan have a girlfriend?"
Yan Fei: "...No."
But does this hinder his dream of getting married?
Chi Zao understood and said quietly: "Assistant Yan can consider finding a girlfriend. Then I will give Assistant Yan a big red envelope for you to experience."
Yan Fei: "..."
Why do these words make me more and more distressed?
He was silent for a moment, looked at the two people in the back row, and replied with a smile: "Actually, I would rather give you two red envelopes first."
Xiao Yu: "..."
Chi Zao: “!!!”
Long Er, who was driving, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard it.
Assistant Yan is really brave.
How dare you urge your master to get married!
Long Er quietly looked in the rearview mirror, trying to see if Mr. Xiao was going to get angry.
The result - not only did the person not get angry, but his ears and temples started to rub together...
Miss Chi looked away, her ears seemed a little red.
It really almost blinded him.
Long Er looked away with tears in his eyes.
Forget it, forget it.
Single dogs only deserve to eat dog food!
…
Ge family.
Ge Jiaxi asked Mama Ge what was in the red envelope.
Mother Ge: "Two hundred yuan in red envelopes, what's wrong? Do you think it's a bit short?"
Mother Ge knew that her daughter’s friends were all rich, and the two hundred yuan was really just for good luck.
"Ah... it's not that little. They are not short of money. You said it was for good luck, so you don't care how much is in the red envelope."
Ge Jiaxi was just wondering what happened to the weird red envelope he picked up at the door just now.
Is someone playing a prank?
Ge Jiaxi was too lazy to think too much.
Anyway, her mother just didn't pack some weird red envelope for Chi Zao and the others.
"By the way, why hasn't dad come back yet?"
"I'll be back soon. I told you to put your grandma to bed first."
Mother Ge said and urged her: "Don't wait for your dad to come back. Go take a shower first. Aren't you going to get up early tomorrow to go skiing with your friends?"
Ge Jiaxi nodded, "Yes. I'll go right away."
When she came out from the shower, she received news from Qian Mingxuan about the villa.
