On New Year's Eve, Bertha Haines was invited back to the Norris Residence.
Knowing that no one wanted to see her, she perceptively kept to herself, spending her time in her bedroom except for coming down to eat.
Reading books, chatting a little.
As soon as midnight passed, she picked up her phone and first sent New Year's wishes to Amos Smith.
[Uncle, Happy New Year.]
A few minutes later, a message came back.
"Happy New Year."
Then he sent a few red envelopes, totaling 888 yuan, symbolizing prosperity.
Bertha happily accepted them, then sent a New Year's blessing to her grandpa and asked him to tell Nellie that before she left last time, she had slipped a red envelope under her bed.
It was New Year's money she left for her.
For a child, the New Year is essentially about two things: enjoying good food, clothes, and fun, and receiving New Year's money.
In the future, whatever other kids have, her Nellie should have too.
