Chapter 265: Red Envelopes

On the high-speed rail, Qin Huai and Qin Luo sat side by side, opening red envelopes together with the same demeanor, similar movements, and similar frequency. A stack of red envelopes, some thin and some thick, it was hard not to attract the strong onlookers of the returning passengers sitting next to them.

Of course, they were all watching secretly.

Everyone was just meeting by chance on the high-speed train; no normal person would do something like directly crowding up to Qin Huai and Qin Luo to stare at them while they opened their red envelopes.

The siblings opened the red envelopes with great tacit understanding, all starting from the first one they got.

Open the one given by Huang Shengli first.

A stack of red bills that dazzled people's eyes, Qin Luo wow-ed in surprise the moment she opened the red envelope, and then looked around alertly, observing if there were any lawless elements who might rob her on the high-speed rail, scaring the secretly watching passengers to withdraw their gazes one after another to avoid being treated as perverts.

Qin Luo counted quietly.

The siblings were very cautious when counting money, not pulling the money out, but like thieves, spreading the red envelope open, leaning their faces in and staring at the inside of the red envelope to count.

"Brother, there are 1,800 in the red envelope Uncle Huang gave me!" Qin Luo lowered her voice and said to Qin Huai, "I'm rich! How much is in your red envelope?"

"6,600," Qin Huai calmly said the number that would make Qin Luo's eyeballs pop out, and reached out to take Qin Luo's red envelope, "What's yours, this is my red envelope, it's for debt repayment."

After speaking, Qin Huai took out his phone and looked at the memo: "You still owe me 8,617 yuan and 20 cents. I didn't charge you for the dim sum you ate during the winter vacation, and the 20 cents were wiped out. Now you owe me 6,817 yuan."

Qin Luo: o(°△°|||)︴

Looking at Qin Luo's incredulous eyes, Qin Huai directly stuffed the red envelope into his pocket: "Just spend the 600 yuan from Sister Hong, what money do you have to spend in the countryside during the New Year, count the next one."

Qin Luo suddenly didn't want to count anymore; her intuition told her that the red envelopes received today didn't belong to her.

Those red envelopes only stayed in her arms for a short while, then grew wings and flew into her brother's purse, without a trace of nostalgia, leaving so decisively and resolutely.

Zheng Da's red envelope was much thicker than Huang Shengli's, and the red envelope itself was also much larger.

The red envelope Zheng Da gave looked a bit like a red envelope at first glance, and one could tell at a glance that it was specially customized.

The one given to Qin Huai was stuffed with a full 28,888 yuan, and Qin Luo's was less, 2,888.

This was enough to make Qin Luo pleasantly surprised.

"Still owe me 3,929," Qin Huai reported the number ruthlessly.

After opening these two red envelopes, only Gong Liang's stack of red envelopes remained.

In terms of quantity, Gong Liang was undoubtedly far ahead. But the red envelopes Gong Liang gave were of normal red envelope size, some thick and some thin. Qin Huai touched the thickness lightly and felt that Gong Liang's package should not be as big as Zheng Da's.

The first one, 88.

The second one, 188.

The third one, 666.

The fourth one, 888.

The fifth one, 1,888.

The sixth one, 6,666.

The seventh one, 8,888.

The eighth one, a piece of paper.

Qin Huai: Paper?

Qin Huai pulled the paper out and found it was a check.

A check for 18,888.

Qin Huai was not afraid of being laughed at; it was his first time seeing a real check since he grew up. His first reaction to seeing the check was to take out his phone and search for how to take a check to the bank to exchange for money after receiving it.

This is very important.

There were 4 red envelopes left behind.

Qin Huai had already begun to hesitate; the remaining 4 red envelopes were all very thin. According to the style of the eighth red envelope, wouldn't the remaining 4 red envelopes all be...

Qin Huai slowly opened the ninth red envelope and pulled it out.

A check for 28,888.

The tenth one, a check for 66,666.

The eleventh one, a check for 88,888.

The twelfth one, a check for 188,888.

Qin Huai:...

Boss Gong!

At this moment, Qin Huai only had one thought.

He was still too slack; he didn't practice A-grade Four-Joy Tangyuan before leaving Gusu to let Boss Gong suffer. Boss Gong, don't worry, after going back to the countryside for the New Year, Xiao Qin will definitely practice hard, practice diligently, and hand you a satisfactory answer, definitely letting you eat A-grade Four-Joy Tangyuan after the New Year!

Qin Huai glanced at his sister's red envelope next door and started checking directly.

The red envelopes Gong Liang gave to Qin Luo were relatively restrained, arranged in order: 6, 8, 66, 88, 188, 666, 888, 1,666, 1,888, 6,666, 8,888, and a check for 18,888.

Qin Luo was completely confused, the whole person was stunned, the phone in her hand seemed to have just won the lottery, falling into emptiness and sluggishness after ecstasy.

After a long time, Qin Luo reacted, found that her red envelopes had all gone to Qin Huai's hands, and whispered: "Brother, I don't owe you that much money!"

"I know, I'm just helping you count," Qin Huai returned the red envelope to Qin Luo, "Keep it well."

Qin Luo carefully stuffed the red envelope into the interlayer of her schoolbag, and after stuffing it in, she was still worried, stuffed it in again, held the schoolbag in her hand, and planned not to let go on this journey.

"Brother, I feel like I've become the heroine of a god-rich novel," Qin Luo's voice became illusory.

"Wake up, the heroine of a god-rich novel has much more money than you; they all swipe 200,000 a day with a card, and if they don't finish swiping, they will be punished," Qin Huai let his sister wake up a bit, "Do you know what to do next?"

"I know!" Qin Luo nodded heavily, "I've checked, these checks are true and have no problems, the format is correct, the signature has no problems, and there is a bank seal. The internet says we should bring our identity proof, and if it's a large amount, we should make an appointment with the bank in advance."

"If we arrive at Qu County Bank today, it must be off work, we will take the check to the bank to exchange for money tomorrow morning, and I will be rich!" Qin Luo's voice was full of irrepressible excitement and the ecstasy of sudden wealth.

"When the time comes, I will deposit 10,000 yuan with you first, Brother, and I can eat whatever I want for these ten days of the New Year."

Qin Huai:...

"I mean for you to keep the red envelope well so it doesn't get lost, now take out your phone and send a message to Uncle Gong to express your gratitude."

"Oh oh oh," Qin Luo hurriedly took out her phone and started editing a heartwarming greeting WeChat, but her Chinese grades were not good, and she scratched her head for a long time without thinking of any copy that could make people's eyes shine, feel like a spring breeze, but not too deliberate, so she could only click on the browser and search frantically.

At this moment, it was the moment Qin Luo regretted most in her life that her Chinese grades in the high school entrance examination didn't pass.

Seeing that Qin Luo had already started writing a small essay, Qin Huai gathered his red envelopes and stuffed them into Qin Luo's bag together. He took out his phone and sent messages to Huang Shengli and the others one by one, informing them that he had safely boarded the high-speed rail, thanking the teachers for the red envelopes, then reported safety in the family group, and called Qin Congwen alone to tell him that they couldn't return to Qin Family Village tonight and had to stay in Qu County for one night.

Immediately after, Qin Huai looked at the group chat of the loving family, paying attention to the interaction between Qu Jing and Teacher Chen, how many buckwheat mantou Chen Huihong ate after returning to her hometown, and whether the lonely New Year life of Luo Jun, this lonely old bird, was happy.

After caring about the group friends, Qin Huai started brushing Moments and liking them one by one. Finally, Qin Huai sent a message to President Qin, telling President Qin that the most outstanding graduate of the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy had returned to his hometown, and if there was anything in the welfare academy that needed to be added, list the inventory quickly, as the outstanding graduate was going to donate heavily this New Year.

President Qin didn't be polite and sent a long list, finally marking the amount: 58w.

Qin Huai:?

Was President Qin stunned by the amount of the previous two donations, deciding to make the welfare bigger and stronger, and open a chain of welfare academies?

Qin Huai indicated that he, this outstanding graduate, was not that outstanding.

Seeing Qin Huai return an ellipsis, President Qin immediately called, his voice full of uncontrollable laughter: "Huaihuai, our Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy is not short of money this year. The money donated by the two caring people you introduced is not finished this year, and our welfare academy is now rich enough to take in two more disabled children."

"If you have time when you come back today, come to the welfare academy at night to see. The children all miss you so much, asking everywhere since the Little New Year why Brother Bao Bao hasn't come yet? Is Brother Bao Bao not coming to make steamed buns this year? Has Brother Bao Bao forgotten them?"

Brother Bao Bao sat on the high-speed rail seat and instantly straightened his back.

"Mother Qin, don't worry, I will go to the welfare academy after I get off the high-speed rail and put things away. I can't guarantee I can eat steamed buns at night, but the meat steamed buns tomorrow morning will definitely be made by me!"

"Okay, you suddenly appeared with the inheritance of your biological parents to inherit in Shan City, and the whole family went and didn't return, everyone is curious. Grandpa Qin has been missing you these days, afraid that you were scammed and cheated abroad to have your kidney cut, and later the caring people you introduced came to the welfare academy to donate money, and Grandpa Qin was even more worried, worried that you went astray, joined a fraud organization and became a senior executive to use this method to launder money."

"Couldn't sleep for several nights, if it weren't for being reluctant to part with his 2,000 yuan salary, he would have bought a high-speed rail ticket to Shan City to see if you opened a community canteen there."

Grandpa Qin is the security guard of Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy, and also President Qin's cousin.

Qin Huai gave two dry laughs: "...... It really made Grandpa Qin worry. Mother President, tell Grandpa Qin, listen less to those messy novels, if it really doesn't work, watch some xianxia dramas."

"He is also once bitten, twice shy. Six or seven years ago, that Xiao Hui who went out from our welfare academy, didn't he also come back one year saying he made a lot of money doing business outside, and donated 100,000 to the welfare academy with a big wave of his hand? Everyone was very happy. As a result, the police came to the door before the New Year, saying it was stolen money and had to be recovered."

"Fortunately, I hadn't had time to spend the money, otherwise with our welfare academy's funds, even if we smashed the pots and sold the iron, eating wild vegetables and porridge every meal, we couldn't scrape together 100,000."

"Not to mention that wild vegetables are expensive these days."

"Xiao Hui is still squatting in prison now."

"With this kind of previous example, Grandpa Qin is also caring about you."

"The large sum of money donated by the first caring person you introduced, our welfare academy didn't dare to spend it for the first month."

Qin Huai:...

He didn't know that a small Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy was so full of talents, and six or seven years ago, it produced such a god-man like Xiao Hui, who didn't forget to repay the welfare academy even after committing a crime.

"I will take Did Luo Luo to the welfare academy at night, Mother Qin, prepare the ingredients, prepare more vegetables, meat, and flour, oh by the way, prepare more glutinous rice flour. Nuts and candied fruits should be available at this time, right? I will send you a list, you prepare the ingredients according to the list."

"I don't know how much I can make tonight, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I must go to the countryside tomorrow morning. If I don't make much, I will take some time on the first or second day of the first lunar month to make more dim sum, and let Did Luo Luo take the bus to the welfare academy."

President Qin said: "No need for Did Luo Luo to send it, I will go get it directly, it's too troublesome to send."

"Okay, Huaihuai, you send me the list, I will go buy it now. The welfare academy has flour, meat, etc., I still have to calculate the accounts, hang up first."

"You come over at night and just help me refer to which paintings to pick for the caring people. Our welfare academy bought a batch of watercolors, the colors are all complete, and the children draw very beautifully, the caring people will definitely like them."

President Qin said she was going to hang up the phone, but ended up chatting about paintings for a few more sentences before hanging up reluctantly.

After finishing all this, Qin Huai looked at the writing progress of Qin Luo's small essay next door.

Wrote 11 words: Uncle Gong, really thank you very much today.

Didn't even finish a sentence.

Qin Huai began to suspect that this child didn't pass the Chinese high school entrance examination, could it be because the essay wasn't finished.

A web novel author would have already churned out one or two thousand words in this amount of time, but his unlucky kid was busy looking up information, organizing language, and dawdling until he finally squeezed out these 11 words.

Until the high-speed rail arrived at the station, Qin Luo didn't finish the thank-you essay.

Looking at this posture, Qin Luo can't play with her phone when she gets home at night, she has to work hard to practice Chinese writing.

Qin Huai and Qin Luo dragged their suitcases, Qin Luo carried her backpack on her front, and went out of the station together.

"Brother, I want to eat the beef burger at the train station!" Just out of the station, Qin Luo made a sound of wanting to eat.

"On the high-speed rail, didn't you use Uncle Gong's New Year money to buy two lunch boxes and a bag of duck necks? A black pepper beef rice, a kung pao chicken rice, and you're still not full?" Qin Huai asked a soul-searching question.

Qin Luo stretched out a finger: "Still missing a beef burger, the double-layer beef kind."

Qin Huai was helpless: "Buy it, buy one for me too."

Qin Luo cheered, and ran to the beef burger shop at the entrance of the train station with her suitcase.

There is a beef burger shop at the entrance of Qu County train station that is the most delicious in the whole county, claiming to be handmade beef patties, but it is only a claim. Qin Huai knows the purchase channel of this shop's beef patties; it is considered high-priced in the same category, and ordinary small shops are reluctant to buy such expensive beef patties. Qin family members wouldn't stop Qin Luo if she wanted to eat a few when she was on holiday.

During the Spring Festival, the business of the beef burger shop was quite good, and the shop was overcrowded.

Qin Huai waited at the door with two suitcases, and by the way sent a WeChat to Huang Shengli and others to report safety.

Just typing, Qin Huai heard a familiar voice.

"Huaihuai, why are you here alone? Where is Did Luo Luo, did this girl go in to buy a double-layer beef burger again? I'll go call her out, her dad already bought it for her," Zhao Rong appeared behind Qin Huai wearing a thick down jacket, and without giving Qin Huai time to react, rushed into the beef burger shop in one stride.

Behind Zhao Rong was Qin Congwen carrying two paper bags.

"Dad, didn't you and Mom already go to the countryside? Why did you come back to the county again," Qin Huai said pleasantly surprised.

"It's not that you called and told your mother that you weren't going back to the countryside today and had to stay in the county for a day. Your mother was worried that the quilts on the beds in your and Did Luo Luo's rooms weren't thick enough, so she dragged me to take the bus back as soon as she finished the call."

"Originally cleaned it once, now cleaned it again. Didn't you send the high-speed rail itinerary to the group when you set off, so your mother and I came directly to the high-speed rail station to pick you up, and bought you beef burgers, both are double-layer."

"Yours has mashed potatoes inside, Did Luo Luo's has corn on the cob inside," Qin Congwen handed the burger to Qin Huai, "You must be starving on this journey back, I'm not worried about Did Luo Luo, you child never liked to eat anything on long-distance transportation since you were young."

"When you were a child, your mother and I took you to play in other provinces, and you didn't eat a single bite on the 11-hour train. Scared your mother and me, thought you were sick, and took you to the hospital to register as soon as we arrived at the hospital entrance, but as soon as we arrived at the hospital entrance, you pointed at the vendor selling boiled corn at the entrance and said you wanted to eat boiled corn."

Qin Huai didn't expect that he hadn't returned to Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy to appreciate the paintings he drew when he was a child, and just out of the train station, he had to start recalling the dark history of his childhood, so he could only awkwardly gnaw on the burger.

Took a bite.

Hot double-layer beef burger, juicy, delicious!

If it added a slice of pineapple and two slices of cheese, it would be even more delicious.

Before the first bite was swallowed, Qin Luo and Zhao Rong came out of the burger shop.

Qin Luo rushed towards Qin Congwen smiling like a happy Samoyed, and said happily and loudly: "Dad, I really love you! You actually specially bought me the double-layer beef burger I love to eat the most. I got a lot of red envelopes today, and I'll give you one-tenth when I go back."

Zhao Rong was a bit strange: "Who gave Did Luo Luo New Year money?"

"The chefs and diners in Gusu," Qin Huai explained simply, "Huang Ji's chefs can get New Year red envelopes every year, I got a few, and Did Luo Luo also got a few by the way."

Zhao Rong nodded, didn't care, thinking it was an ordinary New Year red envelope of a few hundred yuan, and said: "Did Luo Luo, then remember to thank others, they all gave it to you for your brother's sake."

"Don't spend money indiscriminately after taking the red envelope."

"I know, Mom," Qin Luo couldn't wait to open the burger paper, and took a big bite of the burger, saying vaguely.

"The New Year is really great, I like the New Year the most!"
