The first day of the new year came when the first rays of sunlight pierced the sky and dispelled the darkness.

The door of the living room opened, and Ye Tian walked out of it, walked straight down the steps, and came to the middle of the courtyard.

"Hiss——!"

Ye Tian raised his arms and stretched his waist, and at the same time took a deep breath greedily, letting the cold and fresh air of the early morning cleanse his body and mind.

He didn't sleep all night because of the New Year, and he couldn't see a trace of tiredness on his face, but he was still energetic and energetic.

And Betty, Linlin, and the three little ones who followed him out of the living room, were all tired and couldn't open their eyes.

When they came to the yard and were blown by the cold wind, these guys were in a better state and their minds were a little clearer.

Keeping the New Year is a tradition of Beijingers during the New Year, and it is also a tradition of many Chinese, and the Lao Ye family is naturally no exception.

The observance of the New Year by the elderly is to 'get rid of the old year', which means to cherish the time, and the observance of the New Year by the young people is to prolong the life of their parents.

My grandparents were too old to sit and stay up all night, so I went back to my bedroom to rest after the clock rang at midnight last night.

The rest of the people, the old father and mother, the second uncle and the second aunt, the two sisters-in-law, as well as Ye Tian and the other juniors, did not leave this courtyard, and all of them were here to keep the New Year.

After Ye Tian's explanation, Betty also followed the local customs and stayed up all night with everyone.

After stretching his arms a few times and moving his legs and feet, Ye Tian turned his head and said to a few little guys:

"Okay! It's already dawn, the New Year's Eve is over, if you are tired, go to the East House to rest, wait for grandparents to get up later, I'll call you!"

However, the three little ones shook their heads in unison and rejected the suggestion.

"We don't have to rest now, we are not sleepy, wait for the grandparents (grandparents) to get up and give them a New Year's greeting, and then we will go to rest!"

As for what the three little guys were thinking, Ye Tian naturally knew it.

When he was still in school, he did the same thing.

"You guys, I'm afraid you're not waiting for your grandparents to get up, but waiting for your grandparents and other elders to get red envelopes, right?

The three little guys who were exposed couldn't help but blush, and they felt a little embarrassed.

However, they soon returned to normal.

The little girl in Chenxi was even more excited and asked with anticipation:

"Brother, how many red envelopes are you going to give us? It's too little, I won't agree! You're a billionaire now, and you can't take it if you have too little!"

"That's it, brother, tell us about it! Or give it to us now, I can't wait!"

Dongzi leaned in and said, with a flattering smile on his face.

Linlin's performance was the same, looking at Ye Tian with anticipation, wanting to hear the most beautiful answer.

"Everyone has a red envelope, but the specific amount is kept secret for the time being, and you will know later, as for giving it to you in advance, don't even think about it!

Later, after grandparents and other elders have sent out red envelopes, you three little money fans can get the red envelopes from me and Betty, so stay up for now!"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, continuing to hang the appetite of the three little guys.

"I knew it was like this, sure enough! Brother, you're too bad!"

Lin Lin said disappointedly, and the other two little guys were also full of disappointment.

After a while, Betty and the three little ones returned to the living room, the early morning temperature was too low to stay outside for a long time.

Ye Tian stayed in the courtyard, continued to move his body, and did some simple strength training, such as push-ups and other exercises.

Soon, more than an hour had passed.

My grandparents had already gotten up, washed up and went to the living room.

It's time for the younger generations to pay New Year's greetings! This is what must be done on the first day of the Lunar New Year every year.

Although it is not popular to bow down and kowtow now, and ancestral tablets are no longer placed at home, the old ritual of New Year greeting cannot be omitted, which is a tradition of the Chinese.

The first to come forward to greet the New Year were Ye Tian's father, who was the eldest son, and Ye Tian's mother, the eldest daughter-in-law.

"Dad, Mom, my son (daughter-in-law) has given your second elder a New Year's greeting, Happy New Year, I wish you two elders good health and a long life!"

Ye Tian's parents greeted the New Year in unison and bowed to the second elder together.

The greetings they say are simple and unpretentious, very ordinary! But the feelings contained in them are very sincere, and the best wishes are from the bottom of their hearts!

What could be more important to an elderly person of grandparents' age than health, and what could be more beautiful than a long life?

"Okay! I also give you New Year's greetings, a good New Year, I wish you a harmonious beauty, happiness and health!"

Grandpa and Grandma nodded in satisfaction and smiled brightly.

Of course, parents don't have New Year's money.

This is the tradition of the old Ye family, who have already participated in work and married and started a family, and there is no New Year's money, including Ye Tian.

On the contrary, at this time, it is time for the juniors who join the work and get married and start a family to give money to the elders.

But this is not called New Year's money, but filial piety to the elders, and it is okay to say that it is a red envelope!

After bowing and bowing, my mother took out two thick red envelopes from her pocket and handed them to my grandmother.

Grandma naturally didn't shirk and accepted it with great relief.

Next is the second uncle and two aunts, and then the sister-in-law and the little uncle, the same procedure has been done twice, only the greetings are different, and the feelings are the same.

Soon, it was Ye Tian's eldest grandson's turn, and Betty's eldest grandson's daughter-in-law who didn't enter the door.

Ye Tian took Betty's hand and came to her grandparents, and said emotionally:

"Grandpa, grandma, grandson has given your second elder New Year's greetings, Happy New Year! I wish you two elders all the best, happiness and good health!"

When he said this, Betty was also saying it with him, and it was in Chinese, which sounded a little awkward, but extremely sincere.

After saying that, the two of them bowed deeply to their grandparents.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian took out the red envelope that had been prepared and handed it to his grandmother.

This red envelope is very thin, and it is not filled with cash, but with a bank card with a large amount of money stored in it.

"Okay! I wish you a happy New Year! You two must be well, if the time is right, the sooner you get married, the better, your grandmother and I are still looking forward to the fourth generation of the same house!

Xiaotian, it's still the same sentence before, although Betty is an American, she is a good girl, you kid dare to be sorry for others, I will discount your legs!"

Grandpa nodded with satisfaction, and did not forget a few words of warning Ye Tian.

Grandma didn't say anything, just took Ye Tian and Betty's hands, looked at them lovingly, and smiled without seeing her eyebrows!

"Don't worry, your second elder! Let's discuss it carefully, it shouldn't be this year, Betty and I will pull off the certificate, let your second elder hold your great-grandson as soon as possible!"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his tone was categorical.

"Hahaha, that's great! I'm waiting for your good news."

Grandpa said with a big laugh, smiling very brightly.

Grandma, Mom and Dad, and several other elders all laughed, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.

"It's so thick-skinned!

The little girl Chenxi was complaining in a low voice, and her face was full of smiles, and the same was true for Linlin and Dongzi.

In the laughter, Ye Tian took Betty to the side, and Linlin immediately filled their place and stood in front of her grandparents excitedly.

After a crisp and pleasant 'Happy New Year', a sincere wish, and a respectful bow, the little guy received two thick red envelopes as he wished, one for each grandparents!

The moment she received the red envelope, Linlin cheered excitedly.

"Ahh

Seeing the two thick red envelopes, Chenxi, who had already been envious of her eyes, pushed Dongzi away, took the first step to make up for Linlin's position, and began to greet her grandparents and send blessings.

Of course, this little girl got her wish, and Dongzi in the back did the same, each received two thick red envelopes, and the beauty was straight to the snot bubbles!

After greeting grandparents, it's time to pay New Year's greetings to my parents, followed by my second uncle and aunt, and finally my sister-in-law and uncle.

At the same time as greeting the New Year, Ye Tian gave each elder a red envelope, this time it was not a bank card, but a check.

The numbers on the check were also very tempting, which made the second uncle and them secretly stunned and excited!

The three little guys then followed up, reaping the New Year's money again and again, and the happy mouth forks were cracked to the back of their heads, and they didn't know where North was for a long time!

Soon, the three little guys came to Ye Tian and Betty.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I wish you a happy New Year, and I wish you a happy and early birth of a precious son!"

After greeting the New Year and quickly saying the greetings, the three little guys immediately stretched out their hands and said in unison with anticipation and excitement:

"Bring the red envelope!

Seeing the three little guys straighten out, everyone laughed.

"Hahaha"

In the midst of laughter, Ye Tian took out three thin red envelopes, handed them to them, and said with a smile:

"This time there are only red envelopes, no gifts, one for each person, take it"

"Thank you, brother, thank you, sister-in-law Betty, you guys are so nice, I love you!"

The three little guys moved very fast, and at the same time, they quickly put down the red envelope.

Without a moment's hesitation, the three little guys immediately opened the red envelope and began to check the contents inside.

Immediately after, Dongzi's excited exclamation sounded in the living room.

"Ah, I'm not mistaken, right? 200,000 dollars! Brother, you are so generous! Dude is so rich and so rich! It's so cool!"

Obviously, this kid was a little too happy too soon.

Before the exclamation fell, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and the red envelope and check in his hand disappeared in an instant.

In the next second, my sister-in-law's voice began to ring in everyone's ears.

"You are still young now, Dongzi, it is not appropriate or safe to take so much money, Mom will help you keep it, you need money in the future, you can apply, I will issue it at my discretion, and take out the rest of the red envelopes!"

Dongzi was completely stupid and froze in place.

After a few moments, the boy came to his senses and immediately wailed in pain.

"Ah! Here is this trick again! How many red envelopes have you taken from me since I was a child? And you have given them out as appropriate, when have you ever issued them? Are you still unreasonable? Is there any royal law? Why is my life so bitter!"

"Be reasonable? Wang Fa? I'm your mother, that's the reason! Hand over the rest of the red envelopes! Don't rub in, it's useless to rub in."

The sister-in-law said with her eyes pricked up, and her tone was not at all unquestionable.

While saying this, she also looked at the red envelopes and checks in Chenxi's hands, as well as the bulging pockets, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Ahh

Dawn screamed, and immediately rushed to her grandmother's side, ready to seek protection.

rushed to her grandmother's side with her, as well as Linlin's girl.

The second aunt's eyes have already locked on her, locked the red envelope and check in her hand, and the delicate little bag, if you don't run away at this time, then don't think about escaping!

"Hahaha"

The living room erupted in laughter again, mixed with a few pleas and weak protests!
