Chapter 1240 The So-Called Black Heart

This red paper bag printed with hot gold fonts may be unfamiliar to some foreigners, but it is almost a household name for Chinese people.

In every festive day, everyone likes to receive this thing very much.

Whether it's entrance exams, birthday celebrations, weddings, births, festivals, etc. If there is anything that is most pleasing, it must be the moment when someone else puts this red bag in their pocket.

Of course, what is the most unhappy thing in these times? That is probably to take out such a red paper bag from one's own pocket and stuff it into someone else's pocket. Especially when you find that the red paper bag you stuffed into someone else's pocket is thicker than the red paper bag someone else stuffed into your own pocket.

All nationalities in the world have the habit of giving gifts during large-scale celebrations such as festivals and festivals. For example, Christmas is now spreading from the West to China and becoming more and more popular.

One of the most traditional items is giving gifts to children and friends at Christmas time. It looks like a very beautiful look. But there is a small problem here.

For example, a child's New Year's wish is to want a trivial PS5.

However, the New Year’s presents that parents give their children are 20-pound Huanggang secret scrolls, five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulations + Wang Houxiong’s exercise sets, etc.

Excuse me, will the children shed tears because of receiving this gift? Of course, tears are inevitable, but it's hard to say why.

So, things like giving gifts during the holidays are particularly prone to deviations. In particular, many Europeans and Americans are extraordinarily stingy when it comes to giving Christmas gifts.

For example, send a greeting card, send a bag of candy, send two rolls of woolen socks or send a dirty sweater or something.

Don't be fooled by the fancy Hollywood movies. In fact, these are the longest Christmas gifts from Europeans and Americans. If you have expectations for Christmas season gifts, such as expecting your parents to give you a few happy plus ones for your STEAM, then basically you don’t need to think about it.

Even if you add all the games you want to the wish list, you can only look at them. Santa Claus will not satisfy your wishes, and Fatty G will only steal your money.

In comparison, Chinese red envelopes are probably the most affordable thing in the world. Maybe it's tacky, maybe it's not that tall. But this thing is the most practical!

During the actual interview on the streets of Europe and the United States, 3,000 people were randomly interviewed and asked: Do they want to receive gifts or cash at Christmas.

Ninety percent of Europeans and Americans answered: cash.

The remaining 10% said euphemistically: "Oh, the gift is of course great. This is our tradition, and it is an etiquette that needs to be carried forward. Of course, sometimes some friends give gifts that are not so suitable for me. Xinyi, in fact, I want to tell those friends that if they don’t know how to buy gifts, then please give me the money for buying gifts, even if it’s only ten euros.”

Although Yang Shu is a three-generation immigrant, his family still maintains some fine traditions in China, that is, during festivals and festivals, their family never gives gifts, but red envelopes.

There are colorful cash in the red envelope. Yang Shu is the happiest when receiving red envelopes.

There is no trouble in this world that cannot be solved by red envelopes. If there are, then a few more red envelopes will be given—by Yang Tianming (Yang Shu's father).

"So, haven't you guys given any red envelopes to the coach?" Yang Shu looked at his friends in disbelief: "You never gave any red envelopes?!" He emphasized repeatedly.

Lin Changjie and the others lowered their heads in shame.

"Oh my God! Although we are from the Eagle Country, we are also born in a Chinese family! You have lived in a Chinese family for so long, and you don't know the importance of red envelopes?!" Yang Shu looked at his face in disbelief. companions.

Lin Changjie said weakly: "This... this... I don't really like Chinese festivals."

"It's really stupid!" Yang Shu sighed, "Let me tell you, doing things in China is different from Eagle Country. You may encounter many problems here."

"Do you know about the driver's license test?" Yang Shu looked at the crowd, who shook their heads and nodded.

Lin Changjie said hesitantly: "Of course we all know about the driver's license test. We are all people who have passed the driver's license test." That's right, almost 50% of people in Eagle Country will pass the first test in their lives when they are sixteen years old. a driver's license. Because there is no such thing as an ID card in the Eagle Country, apart from the passport, the most important thing they can prove their identity is the driver's license. In Eagle Country, you can even use your driver's license to open a bank account.

"Let me tell you this. Many people in this country also take driver's license tests. But because of the different national conditions in this country. This is the country with the fastest growing auto industry in the world. Millions of new cars are put on the road every year, and hundreds of thousands of people are on the road every year. Millions of new drivers hit the road."

"But because this country does not have a car culture that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Many novice drivers buy a car that may be the first car of their entire family. So these novice drivers have not actually had outstanding cars since they were young. Unlike us , when we were fourteen or five years old, we would secretly drive the family car for a ride.”

"So that's why the drivers here have poor grades in the driving school. Many people can't even pass the second subject, let alone the road test. But they still get the driver's license. Guess why?"

Lin Changjie and the others shook their heads like a rattle.

Yang Shu said meaningfully: "That's because of the red envelopes and cigarettes." It seems that he is a China hand.

"You can treat Coach Xiaohei as a driving school instructor, understand." Yang Shu said: "The fact that the Genesis Group is rich doesn't mean that Coach Xiaohei is rich."

"One month of training, if you don't want to suffer, I advise you to do it yourself."

After talking about these poplars, he shook his head and went downstairs to eat roast pork rice. Only a group of tired companions were left there to discuss.

"Oh, I forgot to ask Yang Shu how much red envelopes he gave Coach Xiao Hei?"

"How much do you say?"

"one hundred?"

"It's too little. Now I can't order anything for a hundred yuan in a small restaurant outside."

"The two hundred? Two hundred is less than thirty eagle dollars, is it still very little?"

"That……"

"If you want me to say, just give each person five hundred. What do you think?" Lin Changjie set the amount. After everyone's discussion, this number is good and that's it.

After another day, Lin Changjie and the other nine people secretly stuffed a red envelope into Coach Xiao Hei.

Sure enough, they felt a lot easier during the training that day. The little black coach who used to have a Sima face also looked a lot more amiable.

And there was only one guy who was trained miserably that day, and that was Yang Shu.

During the 10,000-meter weight-bearing run, Yang Shu was so tired that he was out of breath: "Wait, Coach Xiao Hei, I, I gave you that yesterday!"

"Which one?" Xiao Hei, who was riding a battery car and urging Yang Shu to run, didn't know why.

"That's the one!" Yang Shu rubbed his index finger with his thumb, performing movements that people all over the world know.

Xiao Hei sneered: "You ate dinner yesterday, don't you want to eat today? Don't talk nonsense, just run!"

"Ah?!" Yang Shu was shocked, is there such a black-hearted guy in this world? !
