The fun of grabbing red envelopes

The author is Brother Xin, a fourth grader

In the New Year that just passed, I received many red envelopes. Some were New Year's money from family members, some were from parents and friends, and some were from my father while traveling. Gifts for colleagues and partners.

One of the things that impressed me most was the time of grabbing red envelopes during the Lantern Festival that night. That day, we gathered at my uncle’s house for dinner. Although there was a Lantern Festival party after dinner, no one was watching, so my cousins ??started to seduce my uncle to hand out red envelopes. My uncle had nothing to do so he decided to give We give out red envelopes, but in order to increase the fun of grabbing them, he only gives out a few at a time!

At the beginning, I could grab all the red envelopes given by my uncle, and I was very lucky. I got about ?100 in a row. I was very happy. Later, my uncle planned to go upstairs to hand out red envelopes. He didn’t want us to know when he would hand out red envelopes, which would make grabbing the red envelopes more challenging. When we were all waiting for the red envelope from our uncle, other people also participated in handing out red envelopes. As a result, there would always be two people's red envelopes appearing at the same time, so you would definitely be able to grab only one, and at this time, the cousin's hands were As the speed increased, I couldn't grab them all, and my luck started to get worse.

Finally, the uncle came down again, and he was about to start handing out the last and biggest red envelopes. Everyone was concentrating on grabbing the red envelopes, but I didn’t grab any of them because my mobile phone The Internet speed was not good at all. Even if my hand speed was a little faster than that of my cousins, I would definitely not be able to grab it because of the Internet speed problem. I was very unhappy, depressed, and a little angry at that time, because I had already used my best If I grab it at a fast speed, it can’t be a problem with my hand speed, it’s just because my phone’s internet speed is not good.

After I got home, I thought about it again. I shouldn’t be angry because I couldn’t get the red envelope. I found that the fun of grabbing red envelopes is not in the money itself, but in the joy and pleasure that you will feel when you grab the red envelope, no matter how much money it is.
