396: Sharing in some good fortune
On New Year's Eve, Grandpa Fu told Qingqing to get up early the next day because he wanted to give her a big red envelope.
Qingqing is a very obedient baby. Before going to sleep, she kept saying that she wanted to get up early.
He kept muttering to himself, and it was still late the next day.
She opened her eyes, snuggled in the blanket to regain her senses, and when she saw Xiao Qingdai come in, she called out in a childish voice, "Mommy."
Xiao Qingdai sat down on the edge of the bed, lifted a corner of the quilt, and prepared to help her get dressed.
The little dumpling climbed onto her lap and settled comfortably there.
Because I had just woken up, my body felt warm and cozy, like a little kitten.
A smile appeared on her soft, white face, and her gentle voice could melt anyone's heart.
"Mom, Qingqing loves you, and Qingqing wishes you a Happy New Year!"
Xiao Qingdai took out an exquisite red envelope from her pocket, and the little girl quickly took it and held it in her arms.
"Wow!" She climbed out of bed and leaned over to give Xiao Qingdai a sweet kiss on the cheek.
Thank you, Mom!
Xiao Qingdai smiled and hugged her, bending down to whisper softly in Qingqing's ear.
"Your mother has set up a trust and fund for you. All the money your uncle and grandfather gave you is in there. When you come of age, all this money will be returned to you."
The little girl tilted her head, her eyes looking somewhat confused. She blinked her bright, watery eyes, not understanding what she was hearing.
Xiao Qingdai rubbed her head, pressing down her tuft of hair, and smiled as she picked up the prepared clothes.
"Put your clothes on first, your grandfather has already come twice."
Grandpa Fu arrived early in the morning with a red envelope, full of excitement, but left disappointed when he learned that Qingqing was still asleep.
After getting dressed, the little girl happily ran out.
It snowed outside, and the servants had already cleaned the yard, but the eaves were still covered in white.
Qingqing was dressed very festively, all in red, with two red buns hanging in her hair.
The first person she met after leaving home was Shuangjiang (the day of frost). Before she could even say auspicious words, she received a thick red envelope.
Since she hadn't woken up, everyone waited in the main hall, saving her the trouble of running around looking for them one by one.
After receiving a lot of red envelopes, Qingqing ran back to her bedroom and took out all the red envelopes and put them on the table.
There were probably twenty or thirty of them, including my uncles, the housekeeper, and the older brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts who often came to our house.
The little girl has no concept of money these days, and doesn't know how much all of this adds up; she's just naively happy.
After putting everything on the table, she ran out again, this time to the Fu family across the street to find her grandfather and father.
As she ran towards the door, she saw a familiar uncle walking towards her with a blank expression.
Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she skipped and hopped towards him.
"Uncle Xiaoxiao, you're back! It's been so long since I've seen you."
Because Qingqing was terrified and cried during the last kidnapping, Xiao Qingdai felt that Cong Buxiao's methods were too bloody and decided to replace her with someone else, so she sent him back.
Cong Buxiao was quite happy to be able to go back to his island to play games.
As a result, he was only free for a few days before being called back.
When he returned to the Xiao family the day before yesterday, he asked his companions and they said that the young lady had mentioned him to the head of the family.
Now we've found the reason; it really was this child.
Qingqing looked up, so she couldn't see his expression, but her eyes crinkled, and a pair of dimples appeared on her soft, white cheeks as she spoke to Cong Buxiao as if seeking praise.
"Uncle Xiaoxiao, let me tell you~"
"Mom said she wanted to find a different uncle to protect me, but I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find a job later, so I begged Mom to let you come back. Are you happy?"
"........."
He was a little numb. Seeing the little girl's expectant look, he moved his lips and said, "Thank you."
"hey-hey."
Xiao Qingqing tilted her head up and smiled sweetly at him, saying cheerfully.
"You're welcome, Uncle Xiaoxiao. Happy New Year! May you be happy every day. I'm going to find Grandpa now."
Then she tried to run past him towards the door, but after only a few steps, she was stopped.
The little girl stopped, turned around, and looked at him curiously.
Cong Buxiao took out a red envelope and handed it to her.
Qingqing was a little stunned, staring at his face for a long time with her big eyes, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
After a long while, she finally ran over, took the red envelope with both hands, hugged it tightly, and smiled so broadly that her eyes crinkled. She was very emotionally supportive.
"Thank you, Uncle Xiaoxiao~"
Then she ran away, muttering to herself after a few steps.
"So Uncle Xiaoxiao doesn't even smile when he gives people red envelopes."
Cong Buxiao, whose hearing is excellent: "..."
I regret it. Is it possible to get it back?
It's probably impossible; Qingqing has already run far away.
She went to the Fu family's house across the street.
The two branches of the Fu family's old house, as well as the married second daughter, all came to wish the old man a Happy New Year.
Seeing Qingqing standing at the doorway, leaning against the door frame, they naturally took out the red envelopes they had prepared in advance and handed them to her with smiles.
These were prepared before we arrived.
Grandpa Fu handed Qingqing a red envelope behind them. He had prepared a share of the company, but he didn't say it because there were too many people in the room.
He knew very well that in the hearts of his two sons and daughters-in-law, even if Qingqing called him grandfather, she was still an outsider.
If they knew he had given the shares to Qingqing, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.
He wanted things to be peaceful today.
Apart from Fu Sihuai, no one knew what was in the red envelope the old man gave Qingqing.
Knowing that the old man liked Qingqing very much, the other members of the Fu family were very curious about the red envelope.
They had already asked their children, and the old man had given them all the same card, with the same amount of money on it.
I just don't know how much they gave to Qingqing, or how much they gave to their own grandson.
Sensing the curious looks from the others, Fu Sihuai called Qingqing to his side.
He slipped the red envelope he had prepared into her pocket, and after putting it in, he whispered something in her ear.
"Qingqing, go play with your brothers. They've prepared red envelopes for you too."
The little girl carefully put the red envelope in her hand and happily ran to the backyard.
After she left, the curiosity of the other members of the Fu family gradually faded.
In the living room in the backyard.
Fu Yueci coughed, drawing the attention of the other three.
He said in a very serious tone, "I have two things to announce."
“I overheard my grandfather and father talking the other day, saying they were going to give Qingqing a stock, put the annual returns into a trust, and give her a portion of it regularly after she comes of age.”
Fu Fengzhao glanced at him: "And then?"
"Then I plan to deposit all my pocket money into Qingqing's account, in case she lives longer than any of us, she can enjoy wealth and luxury for the rest of her life."
He had heard his father say before that Qingqing should be able to live a long time because of her superpowers.
To avoid being discovered, she will probably have to live in anonymity in another place a hundred years from now.
Therefore, they need to start managing her finances now so that Qingqing can be carefree when the time comes.
