After the annual celebration, it was time for the Lantern Festival.
Er Piya, flush with pocket money, went to the construction site and made a big show of it.
She talks tough on the outside, but deep down she listens to reason.
With the millions of red envelope money she received during the New Year, she went to several major construction sites at Golden Mountain, handing out five packs of Red Double Happiness cigarettes and two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao to each worker.
The workers don't care for overly flashy things; cigarettes and alcohol, the hard currencies, are what they truly appreciate.
It's not that Er Piya has a penchant for good deeds; she just sees her elder sister doing it daily and decides to follow suit.
Spending a little money doesn't mean much to her; only big expenditures make her hesitate a bit.
