Zhulan had just come back to her senses when the children arrived to pay their New Year's respects. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren gestured to Zhou Laoda to get the basket with the red envelopes ready. The children entered the hall; the first group was quite sizable, twenty youngsters from the Clan Leader's and several other elders' families.
After each child paid their respects, Zhulan gave out a red envelope with a piece of candy. When the children's fingers touched the copper coin inside, they were overjoyed. They hopped and skipped away to continue paying visits.
