After the fire, adults began to give lucky money to their children, and red envelopes were also exquisite. If a married person gives a red envelope to an unmarried person, he has to give two packages, that is, if the person who gives a red envelope is unmarried, he can only give one package. Among brothers and sisters, the oldest gives the youngest, the oldest gives the youngest, and the married gives the unmarried, so it is the most cost-effective.
After the fire is over, open the gate and set off firecrackers, and then you can go out to play, but most people don't go out. They usually make tea at home and chat with their parents. Even after New Year's Eve, on the first day of New Year's Day, no matter adults or children, they should get up early, put on new clothes and go out to pay New Year greetings to relatives and elders. Breakfast on New Year's Day is also special than usual. It is sweet porridge cooked with glutinous rice, brown sugar, red dates, longan and so on. This sweet porridge is called "rice cake porridge" in Minnan dialect. At the same time, if guests visit, they will also be given a cup of brown sugar and jujube tea.
