DCBS: Chapter 73

The countdown to midnight sounded on the TV. In the midst of the increasingly noisy fireworks and firecrackers, the bell rang melodiously, indicating that the new year had officially arrived.

On the balcony, a family of five exchanged new year’s greetings repeatedly.

Ji Tong seized first place and said excitedly, “Happy New Year!”

Fang Hao wasn’t any slower than him and just said the last word after he completed it. “—Year!!”

Pei Qingyuan’s tone was calm but revealed a bit of emotion. “Happy New Year.”

“Meow meow meow meow!”

Fu Yinyin took out four red envelopes from her pocket and handed them to the four children with a smile. “Happy New Year.”

Fang Hao took it in surprise. He smiled like an ordinary elementary school student and the air of a Long Aotian was completely gone. “There is actually lucky money. Thank you, Sister Yinyin.”

“This is the first time I’ve received a New Year’s red envelope.” Ji Tong pinched the delicate red envelope with a sense of curiosity before poking Hua Hua beside her. “This is also the first time that Hua Hua has received it.”

Hua Hua meowed happily and fiddled with the small red envelope placed in front of him with his paws.

Pei Qingyuan was very surprised. He hadn’t expected to receive money from his elders today. He also followed the two systems to thank Sister Yinyin.

Fang Hao looked curious. “How can Hua Hua use the red envelope?”

Fu Yinyin said, “He can hold it for a while and then use it to buy toys tomorrow.”

Ji Tong originally wanted to use the money in the red envelope to buy clothes tomorrow. Then after thinking about it, he couldn’t bear it. He turned his head and asked the host. “Host, what are you going to use the red envelope for?”

“Nothing yet,” Pei Qingyuan replied. “The New Year’s money should be put away.”

Ji Tong nodded in understanding. “Where are you keeping it?”

“Press the whole red envelope under the pillow, at least until the end of the first month,” Pei Qingyuan patiently explained. “The meaning is to suppress evil and bless peace. It is just like my grandfather told me when I was a child.”

Hearing this, Ji Tong immediately rushed to the bedroom. “I’ll go press it underneath now.”

That night, the little robot who fell asleep with the New Year’s money had a fantastic dream of driving a mecha to fight against the New Year’s beast.

It was because before he went to bed, he read a bunch of folklore about lucky money.

It was so much so that Ji Tong still couldn’t react when he woke up the next day and put a dinosaur sweatshirt on himself.

Today, they were going to the amusement park during the day. According to the previous agreement, Pei Qingyuan also had to wear the same dinosaur sweatshirt.

There was no need to wear a coat at home. Once he came out of the room a bit cautiously while wearing the dinosaur sweatshirt, he saw the subtle eyes of Fu Yinyin and Fang Hao, who wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh.

Ji Tong’s gaze was even more complicated. Pei Qingyuan always felt like he was going to beat him up.

“Is it strange?” He couldn’t help asking.
