Chapter 351 Red Envelope Rain, the First Sound of the New Year
Chen Yuan left the table. Everyone else was playing and seemed to have no interest in the red envelope rain at 11 o’clock.

Anyway, Chen Yuan has given the order, so it’s up to them whether to snatch it or not.

“Clap.”

Taking out a lighter and lighting a cigarette, Chen Yuan took a deep breath, then opened his phone and clicked on WeChat, first clicking on some relatively unimportant groups.

For example, the Sichuan Province Fishing Association presidents group, the CAA board of directors group, etc., first edit a New Year’s greeting message, and then give out a few big red envelopes.

“Boss Chen is awesome.”

“Thank you, Boss Chen.”

“Happy New Year, Boss Chen, may you make a fortune every year.”

The board of directors group is very lively, and the president’s group is even more lively. Everyone is grateful for getting a red envelope.

Chen Yuan chatted for a few words and then left.

Then he opened the employee group of Yucheng Film and Television, tagged everyone in the group, and edited a blessing message. Red envelopes rained down.

It was a real red envelope rain, each of which was worth 200 yuan. Dozens of them were sent out continuously, with the amount exceeding 10,000 yuan at least. The employees who were trying to grab the red envelopes were all very excited.

Everyone is sighing.

“This is the real red envelope rain.”

“Yes, when I worked in other companies before, I never saw any red envelopes during festivals, let alone the boss personally handing them out.”

“Even if there is a red envelope, it’s just a token of my appreciation. It’s just windy, not rainy.”

In addition to expressing their feelings, everyone in the group thanked the boss, and their inner recognition of this job increased a little.

Chen Yuan chatted for a few words in the group, and Qin Fen and Xie Di followed suit and also sent out red envelopes.

As for the leaders, since Chen Yuan has already given it, it’s not easy for them not to give it.

Moreover, “The Taoist” has achieved very good box office results. Although we haven’t received our share of the profits yet and have only made the investment but haven’t gotten the results yet, we will definitely make a lot of money and naturally won’t be stingy.

“A few minutes.”

Chen Yuan left the Yucheng Film and Television employee group. Seeing that it was not yet eleven o’clock, he opened the fishing ground member group and directly sent a red envelope.

Chen Yuan was not stingy and gave out red envelopes to the founding members of the fishing ground and the most valuable customers, at least dozens of them, all at once until eleven o’clock.

“Are you all ready? The red envelope rain in this group is about to start.”

After the members’ group ended, Chen Yuan exited the group chat and opened the fishing ground group, directly tagging everyone.

“Haha, I’m ready.”

“I set the alarm in advance so I’m always ready.”

“I haven’t even watched the Spring Festival Gala yet. I’m just waiting for the red envelope from Boss Chen.”

“I was playing cards right now and just pressed the pause button. Boss Chen’s red envelope rain is worth it.”

The group was instantly in an uproar.

Chen Yuan didn’t say anything more. He sent a red envelope to the three groups, namely the fishing ground group and the Yucheng Village group, reminding each group of the time to send the red envelopes and to let it rain in order.

Then came the non-stop rain of red envelopes.

One, two, three…

There was no gap, with one red envelope coming every five seconds on average. The amount of each red envelope was two hundred yuan, and the number was set to one hundred. They were all snatched up almost instantly.

“One hundred, capped.”

Chen Yuan continued to send messages until WeChat prompted him to limit the number of messages, and then he stopped.

There were one hundred red envelopes, each worth two hundred yuan, a total of twenty thousand yuan. It was like a storm in the group. The fishing ground group was also very quiet, with only rows of red envelopes to be seen.

Everyone is scrambling for it.

As Chen Yuan announced the end, the group became excited.

“It’s so dazzling. I didn’t get many red envelopes.”

“Yeah, I don’t dare to look back at what I’ve missed. If I go back to look for the one above, it’s gone when I click on it. If I go back to look for the one below, it’s gone too, so whatever I click on is the one I get.”

“I want to cheat, but I’m afraid of being kicked out.”

“Haha, cheaters are not allowed to exist. It’s more interesting to compete with hand speed. With my thirty years of being single, I have successfully grabbed more than forty pieces, which is nearly a hundred dollars.”

“Fuck, that’s awesome.”

Chen Yuan did not chat in the group. After the red envelope rain stopped, he sent two messages in the group. After saying hello, he came to the third group of Yucheng.

“Everyone get ready, it’s time for the red envelope rain.”

Chen Yuan tagged everyone in the group.

Followed by a series of 666, indicating that it is ready.

Perhaps at this moment they don’t know how powerful Chen Yuan’s red envelope rain is, they just want to enjoy the festive and lively atmosphere of grabbing red envelopes.

The result was surprising: the first red envelope.

“Oh my god, I stole more than six dollars. Boss Chen’s red envelope is quite big.”

There were quite a few people in the three groups, close to four hundred, but compared with the huge base of the corporate fishing grounds, they seemed small. Chen Yuan divided the two hundred yuan into fifty, so the amount robbed was naturally not small.

“Don’t talk, there’s more to come.”

The red envelopes were just the beginning, far from the end. The others followed one after another, with the same amount and the same number, which made the villagers very excited.

The three groups are not headed by the household, and are basically composed of the younger generation. At this moment, looking at the dense rain of red envelopes in the group, they all said “wow” and their fingers were flying.

“Fuck, Boss Chen, you really are making it rain.”

At the scene, some card players took advantage of the intervals between winning to light up a cigarette, check the time, pick up their phones and open the WeChat group, wondering if they could pick up two red envelopes.

As a result, as soon as I clicked on the group page, I saw red envelopes one after another, and the whole screen was full of red envelopes.

If you click on the red envelope frantically, the amount of money that pops up is not small, which is even more surprising.

“Oh shit, oh shit, pause for a moment, go to group three and grab the red envelopes, Boss Chen is calling for heavy rain.”

After hearing this, the young people at the scene stopped playing cards, took out their mobile phones, and opened the WeChat group at a very fast speed to grab red envelopes.

“Wrong one hundred million, wrong one hundred million. I just grabbed the last ten or so, which cost about fifty yuan.”

“Haha, who told you to look down on Boss Chen? I thought it was just a drizzle from those ordinary groups, but Boss Chen turned out to be a violent storm.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I was playing cards. I wasn’t paying attention and was a few minutes late in grabbing the red envelopes. As a result, you guys with fast hands almost snatched them all.”

“Playing cards? Is playing cards more exciting than grabbing red envelopes? I firmly followed Boss Chen’s footsteps and followed him all the way to the end. After grabbing all the red envelopes, I got more than 400 yuan. How can I win so much by playing cards?”

A friend took a screenshot of the details and roughly estimated that it was at least over 400 yuan. He had to post it on WeChat Moments to show off and see what red envelope rain is.

“Wow, I don’t know if I can win more than 400 yuan in one hand. I only know that when Boss Chen gave out red envelopes, I lost dozens of yuan. In total, I lost nearly 500 yuan.”

Some people were miserable at the scene.

Especially those partners who lost.

Not only did I lose after playing for a whole night, I also didn’t get many red envelopes. Those who stayed at home watching the Spring Festival Gala received hundreds of red envelopes each round. Isn’t this more fun than playing cards?
“Pay attention to the second group, don’t make the mistake.”

“Hehe, I’m smart enough to have taken my mom’s phone a long time ago and waited for the red envelopes from Group 2.”

After the red envelopes rained down on the third group, it’s time for the second group.

The second group is not the head of the household. They are basically the older women in the family, who are considered the elders of Yucheng Village. Their number is larger than that of the third group, with more than 400 people.

But the difference is not much, the probability and amount of grabbing the red envelope are almost the same. Finally, it is the turn of the main group.

“I don’t want to play anymore. Boss Chen sent a message in the group, ready to grab the red envelope.”

Chen Dequan was paying attention to the WeChat group all the time. Seeing Chen Yuan talking in the main group, he stopped playing cards and made a tapping gesture on the screen with his fingers, ready to fight with all his strength at any time.

They were all listening to the exclamations of the younger generation at the scene just now. Boss Chen’s red envelope rain was absolutely like a torrential rain. Even if they couldn’t grab all of them, at least they could grab most of them, which should be worth a few hundred.

If you lose at the poker table, you can get some money back from the red envelope.

“Wow, this red envelope is really not small.”

Many older generations joined in the rush to buy at the scene, and when they saw the amount of money, they all sighed, saying, “Isn’t this more fun than playing cards?”
There are also some that I didn’t get, but this is not the time to lament. If I miss the first one, I will quickly open the next one.

“Haha, I’ve grabbed 50 or 60 of them. The least they’re worth is over 2 yuan, and the most is 6 or 7 yuan. I think I’ve got 200 yuan.”

“Isn’t this more fun than playing cards?”

“Thank you, Boss Chen. I’m back to health tonight.”

After the last round of red envelopes were grabbed, the elders at the scene all smiled and thanked Chen Yuan. After a round of red envelopes, there were at least hundreds of yuan in them. Those who lost money playing cards got their money back, and those who won earned more. How could they not be happy?

“It’s the New Year, so we want to create a lively atmosphere and have everyone happy.” Chen Yuan stood up with a smile, shook his arms, and pinched a few fingers on his right hand.

After sending out red envelopes for almost an hour, my fingers are starting to feel sore.

But it’s lively and fun and that’s all that matters.

Besides, this red envelope is nothing. Compared with the big platforms in later generations, which often offer benefits worth hundreds of millions, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

“It’s almost time. Let’s stop playing here for today. New Year is coming soon. Let’s go back and prepare to set off firecrackers. We can continue playing tomorrow?” Chen Yuan said while looking at everyone.

“It’s almost twelve o’clock before I know it. I’ll go back and set off the firecrackers and go to bed. We’ll continue tomorrow.”

It’s already eleven forty, it’s just the right time to go back and set off firecrackers.

Setting off firecrackers at midnight on New Year’s Eve is a traditional custom in many places. It is said that this is to drive away the Nian monster, and Yucheng Village is no exception.

Every New Year’s Eve at midnight, firecrackers are set off, ringing the New Year’s bell to welcome the new year and bring good fortune.

The group went downstairs and went home. Chen Yuan and his family also rode their tricycles home. Chen Guo and his family did not stay and went home to prepare firecrackers.

“The firecrackers are in the main room, put them out.”

Chen Jun parked the tricycle and greeted Chen Yuan as he walked into the yard.

“Good.”

Chen Yuan went straight to the main room, turned on the light, then came out with a large circle of firecrackers. He came to the edge of the yard, unpacked them, and placed them in a large circle along the edge of the yard.

As the time approached midnight, the men, young and old in the village came out of their houses and set off firecrackers in or outside the yard.

“Master, I ordered it.”

A younger generation was interested in it and was about to move forward with a cigarette in his mouth, but was stopped by the older generation.

“You can, but wait a moment.”

“I know. I’m watching the time. I’ll order as soon as it’s midnight.”

“It’s not about waiting.”

“Then what are you waiting for?”

“Wait for the sound at the entrance of the village. The first sound of the New Year must be from Boss Chen’s house. It will drive away the Nian monster, welcome the New Year, and bring good luck to our Yucheng Village.”

This is the custom in the village. Whenever there is such a traditional custom or any ceremony, the person of high moral character or the leader of the village should go first.

When the old village chief was here, he would definitely take the lead.

Times have changed in recent years and these customs no longer exist. Chen Wenbin cannot accept this banner. Although Chen Wenbin is the secretary, he has not been able to change Yucheng Village.

But things are different now.

Although Chen Yuan is young and not of high seniority, he has the ability to lead the development of Yucheng Village. He dares and is willing to take over the banner of Yucheng Village. He is the leader of Yucheng Village.

This scene can be seen in all the villagers’ homes. The firecrackers are set out and they are all facing the village entrance, waiting for the first sound of the New Year.

“10, 9, 8…”

As it approaches twelve o’clock, some people start counting down, and those who are watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV can hear the countdown on the spot, preparing to welcome the New Year.

Chen Yuan also looked at the time, holding the cigarette butt in his hand, and waited for midnight to arrive, then lit the fuse on time.

“Crackling~”

The sound of firecrackers instantly broke the silence of the night, echoing over Yucheng Village, and could be heard throughout the village.

“That’s the noise coming from the village entrance. Boss Chen is setting off a cannon.”

“ignition.”

After hearing the sound, the villagers lit the fuse one after another. In an instant, the whole Yucheng Village was filled with firecrackers, celebrating the arrival of the new year.

The crackling sound lasted for more than ten minutes, but the New Year atmosphere did not dissipate, and the sound of firecrackers could still be heard from the surrounding areas.

After setting off firecrackers, Chen Yuan and his friends returned to the house.

“My second sister will come over to pay New Year’s greetings on the second day of the New Year. Would you like to have dinner with us then?” Without rushing to bed, the family of three sat in the main room and discussed matters concerning the second day of the New Year.

“It’s what it is.”

Chen Yuan thought it was nothing.

The custom here is not to visit relatives and friends on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so every year my second aunt’s family comes over on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the three brothers and sisters take advantage of the New Year to get together.

Just a normal rhythm.

“Will Xiao Yang feel that there are too many people and that this is putting pressure on them?” Chen Jun expressed his concerns.

After all, it’s two families discussing marriage, and one side has too many relatives and friends. Don’t feel like you’re watching the other side’s attitude or something, which would cause unnecessary pressure.

“It’s not that complicated. Second aunt comes here every year, and my elder sister knows about it. Since she discussed coming on the second day of the Chinese New Year, she must understand.” Chen Yuan said with a smile.

“I think what Xiao Yuan said makes sense. Xiao Li is thoughtful and must have taken this into consideration when discussing with Xiao Yang. Besides, when your sister comes over, why don’t you call her to eat?”

Tang Ying took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and nodded while cracking them.

“Let’s ask Xiaoli tomorrow.”

Chen Jun still thought it would be better to ask.

“Just prepare some wine and good food.”

Chen Yuan found a candy in the fruit plate and ate it. In his opinion, this was totally unnecessary and not a big deal at all. He just had to prepare as he needed to.

“Of course, the most important thing is the matter between my elder sister and my brother-in-law. I think we can finalize it this time. Have you thought about the details such as the betrothal gift and the date?”

That’s the point.

“We definitely don’t have any requirements for the betrothal gift. As long as Xiaoli thinks it’s okay, we won’t say anything more.”

Chen Jun waved his hands. Not to mention that their family conditions have improved now, even before, they had never thought of asking for a high price for the bride price. As long as Xiaoli had no objection and it was suitable, it would be fine.

“As for the date, this year is Xiaoli’s zodiac year. I think we can get engaged and get married next year. What do you think?” Chen Jun looked at Chen Yuan and asked.

Well, it’s still the same, no change.

But it’s not bad if we follow the rhythm of the previous life.

“You guys discuss it, I think it’s fine.” Chen Yuan shook his head, and after chatting for a while, he went upstairs to sleep.
