The following days were filled with visiting friends and relatives. They took turns eating at their second and third uncle's houses and also visited distant relatives who lived in G City. It was typical during Spring Festival for everyone to visit each other back and forth.
Carolline, now earning a little money, naturally had to give red envelopes to her younger siblings and to the children of married relatives. In the end, her already modest year-end bonus was entirely spent on giving money.
On the third day of the festival, Grandma Hawkins called and invited Carolline over for dinner, but Emily Hill flatly rejected it. Grandma Hawkins didn't say much and surprisingly sent Carolline a big red envelope through a bank transfer instead of complaining.
