The red envelopes were never too large, often given with the sole intention of spreading joy and happiness, rather than for show. Children had money to buy snacks, adults heard auspicious words, and received positive psychological suggestions. It was a win-win situation, and such a New Year never lacked flavor.
As time passed, Gu Zi grew up and left her hometown. Other places did not have such customs, and with the passage of time, the flavor of the New Year became increasingly diluted. Like many of her peers, Gu Zi gradually stopped paying much attention to the New Year. If it weren't for the book that brought her here, she felt that she would have almost forgotten the feeling of the New Year. This year was truly wonderful.
