After everyone had eaten their fill and enjoyed the wine, Ye Shoulin brought out the red envelopes he had prepared in advance, "This is for my good apprentice."
He had been frequently visiting businesses just for these red envelope gifts, all in anticipation of this day.
Song Yitang quickly got up and walked over, taking the red envelope with both hands, she thanked him, "Thank you, Master. I hope you have everything go your way in the New Year, live as long as the heavens, and stay healthy!"
With Ye Shoulin setting the precedent, the other elders also took out the red envelopes they had prepared.
Song Yitang happily collected more than a dozen red envelopes, so overjoyed she couldn't keep her mouth closed.
Looks like I'm going to bed even later tonight.
