Chapter 74 Contemporary young people unanimously believe that it is better to sleep in than to visit relatives!
"Tomorrow and tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. If we wait until tomorrow to do everything, when will we ever get it done?"

Lin Yuan said with a tough look on his face, pressing Lin's mother onto the sofa.

No matter what, Weiwei will not be allowed to come out again.

Mother Lin said a few more words, but Lin Yuan still disagreed.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Mother Lin was so angry that she simply stopped talking.

——[I still can’t understand. We are all family. It’s not easy to sit together and talk during the Chinese New Year. Lin Yuan is making a fuss. How can the elders make things difficult for the children?]

——【It’s rare for these relatives to come during the Chinese New Year. Not many of them, but at least half of them are probably here to see Weiwei. Not only did Lin Yuan not let Weiwei out, but he also asked Weiwei to do her homework in front of these people. Isn’t this just a disguised way of driving these people away?】

——【Visiting relatives is just a show of courtesy between adults. Why do you always bring up children as a topic? Lin Yuan just wants Weiwei to have fewer worries. What's wrong with that?】

——【But Weiwei is already so old, she should take on the responsibilities that she should bear. She can't just not see her relatives for the rest of her life just because she doesn't like visiting them.】

——【But it’s obvious that I only see these relatives a few times in my life, so what qualifications do they have to scold me and teach me how to do things? 】

……

The barrage keeps scrolling.

The arguments among netizens have reached a fever pitch.

The older generation still felt that Lin Yuan’s approach was inappropriate.

I even felt that he was doting on Weiwei by doing this.

Children who will be going to primary school after the Chinese New Year can no longer do whatever they want.

Besides, these relatives didn’t say anything unpleasant, nor did they do anything to Weiwei.

However, young netizens feel that Weiwei does not need to bear these responsibilities at her age.

Moreover, comparison among relatives will only put unnecessary pressure on children.

If the child's psychological endurance is weak, these pressures will have a psychological impact on the child.

However, Lin Yuan's behavior seemed a bit extreme and even impolite to the older generation.

But in their opinion, this was just a way for him to protect Weiwei.

Lin Yuan just wanted Weiwei to grow up carefree in a happy environment.

The director looked at the netizens expressing their opinions in the live broadcast room and nodded silently.

In his opinion, what both young netizens and middle-aged audiences said actually makes sense.

It’s just that these two generations grew up in different environments and have different perspectives on issues.

……

Lin Yuan didn’t know what the netizens were saying.

Before he sent Weiwei back to her room, he gave her all the New Year's money he had collected.

No matter what time it is, Weiwei always keeps her New Year's money by herself.

Even a few years ago when Weiwei was still young, Lin Yuan opened a separate bank account to deposit Weiwei's New Year's money.

Seeing this, the relatives became unhappy again, as they all had relatively good lives and were very close sisters and brothers.

They visited each other quite frequently, so naturally, quite a few red envelopes were given to Weiwei.

They didn't expect that Lin Yuan would stuff all the money into Weiwei's pocket without even looking at it.

"Lin Yuan, Weiwei can't carry too much money on her at her age. You have to save it for her."

"Yes, so many red envelopes are not small amounts. Children have no concept of money, and they are gone in a flash!"

"It's normal for children to have some pocket money during the Chinese New Year, but after this period, they still have to take what they owe."

The eldest aunt, the third aunt, the second aunt and others each had one in their mouths.

It was as if if Lin Yuan took the red envelope, the money would go into their pockets. Mother Lin glanced at Lin Yuan and saw that he simply ignored it, so she laughed it off.

"Look at what you said. How could Lin Yuan, who is already so old, not know this?"

"Isn't this for the sake of celebration? Besides, it's also to make the children happy."

"If the red envelope we just received was taken away, not to mention the children, I'm afraid we wouldn't be happy about it!"

As she spoke, Mother Lin winked at Lin Yuan from time to time.

This guy just had a great time talking nonsense, but now everyone is about to leave, so he needs to be more restrained.

Otherwise, if she doesn’t come next year, where will she go to watch the fun?
Lin Yuan was speechless. They had known each other for almost thirty years. How could he not know his mother's personality?
But he doesn't intend to spoil her!

Lin Yuan looked at his aunt and the others calmly, and slowly said, "How do you know that I never accept Weiwei's New Year's money?"

"Children nowadays have their own lives. Which parent would have nothing better to do than to collect New Year's money from their children?"

"Could it be that you didn't get it when you were little, so you're so greedy now that you're grown up?"

——【Damn, Lin Yuan really dared to say that. These ladies' faces turned red with anger. It was like stabbing a knife into their hearts!】

——【In those days, being able to have enough food was considered good. Some people who were poor could not even eat a piece of meat during the Chinese New Year, so how could they get lucky money?】

——【Young people nowadays don’t understand good or bad words at all. These elders are just thinking about Lin Yuan. Wei Wei’s money will be wasted by then.】

——【What do you mean Weiwei's spending is a waste? You don't have to spend money to raise children. What's wrong with children having some pocket money? And have you seen Weiwei spend money recklessly?】

——【What a joke! Young people nowadays are calling for the cultivation of financial management concepts in their children, but in fact they themselves do not know how to cherish money! 】

……

Because of the red envelope issue, the two generations of netizens started arguing again.

No matter from which angle they look at it, middle-aged audiences cannot understand Lin Yuan's actions.

In their view, it is normal for parents to help their children manage their New Year’s money.

After all, life requires spending. If you really save your children’s New Year’s money, it will be a shame.

An average family may not even be able to afford the most basic interpersonal relationships!

A big part of the reason why young audiences support Lin Yuan’s actions is that they envy Weiwei.

When they were young, their parents always said that they would help look after their New Year’s money and give it to them when they asked for it.

As a result, now that I have grown up, every time I talk about this topic, my parents become very impatient.

"I've already told you that your New Year's money is used to pay for your tuition. Otherwise, where would you get the money to study?"

"Did you grow up on nothing? For so many years, you have spent money on food, drink and clothes, and now you ask me for New Year's money?"

"Is the New Year's money for you? If I hadn't given it to you, would they have given it to you? They just gave it for fun, but you took it seriously!"

These classic lines accompanied them throughout their childhood.

A young netizen posted it and it immediately received a lot of responses!
Many netizens also complained that it was because they heard their parents say this when they were young that they lost interest in New Year’s money.

Because the money just passed through their hands and was not really given to them.

Sometimes, when I accompany my parents to visit relatives, the red envelopes prepared by my parents are not enough, and they don’t even have the paper shells left for them!

That’s why people feel that the older they get, the less they want to celebrate the New Year, and that they feel there’s no point in celebrating the New Year.

I no longer have the kind of anticipation I had when I was a child. If possible, I would rather have a good sleep at home!
After all, I've been busy all year and rarely have time to sleep in. When I have a rare annual leave, I still have to deal with these relatives.

These are all unbearable sufferings for them.

But Lin Yuan actually held on by himself and kept Weiwei away from trouble!
In their eyes, Lin Yuan is a good father who stands in the children's perspective and considers their children!
