　　上个世纪五六十年代整个国家都很贫困。在我们家附近住有一对夫妻，都是县里的领导，他们的小孩也只有五毛钱的压岁钱，不过在我们眼里那已经是很了不起的财富了，大多数普通家庭里的孩子会更少，两毛、三毛……

The '50 s and' 60 s last century the country was very poor.There are a pair of husband and wife living near our home,Is the leadership of the county,Their children also only fifty cents money,But in our eyes it is the great wealth,Most children in ordinary families will be less,Two hairs/Three hairs……

　　记得小时候我只有两毛钱的压岁钱，而我两个弟弟只有一毛钱，粗糙的红纸里包着钱，那时对我来说，就是莫大的欢喜了。我之所以可以比弟弟多一些压岁钱是因为我是家里的长女，一年到头会帮父母做很多家务，煮饭、洗衣服、找猪菜都要做。我小时候比较懂事吧，我两毛钱的压岁钱都是拿六分钱给家里买半斤酱油，剩下的四分钱则买两个饼一家人一起吃，倒是两个弟弟会为了压岁钱的多少而不高兴，我父亲脾气比较急，眼睛一瞪他俩就不敢吱声了，可是过一会儿，他俩又会因为买东西吃分不均匀而争吵起来。

Remember when I was a child I only two cents of lucky money,And my two younger brother only a dime,Rough money wrapped in red paper,At that time for me,Is the great joy.I can be more than brother some money because I am the eldest daughter in my family,All the year round will help my parents do much housework,How to cook/Wash the clothes/Looking for pig food has to be done.When I was a child more sensible,My two cents in the New Year's money all is take six cents to buy home half jins of soy sauce,The remaining four cents to buy two bread eat together as a family,It is two younger brother not happy how much will be for the sake of money,My father temper is urgent,Eyes a stare them into silence,But after a while,They would quarrel because of the uneven to buy thing to eat.

　　还剩一毛钱，可以买很多东西啊，像黑而硬的水果糖、用红色绿色点了喜庆出来的米花糖，都是几分钱一块；还可以买回一把五颜六色的糖豆；女孩子爱臭美，扎辫子用的蝴蝶结是必不可少的，有鲜绿鲜绿的，有粉红粉红的，非常亮气张扬。那时，小朋友们大多会有一个自己的存钱罐子，那叮当作响的硬币声承载着许许多多的愿望与孩童时代的梦想……捻着压岁钱，看一看，想一想，还真有些拿不定主意呢，最终还是把它小心翼翼地投进了存钱罐。

Any money left,Can buy a lot of things,Like black, hard fruit drop/In red green point meters flower sugar festival,Is a few cents a piece;Also can buy back a colorful jelly beans;Girls love to boast,Braid with bowknot is indispensable,Has a bright green fresh green,Have pink,Very light gas.At that time,Most of the children will have a own saving pot,The COINS tinkling sound is carrying lots of desire and dream in his childhood……Twist the lucky money,Take a look at,Think about it,Still some really make up our minds yet,Eventually put it carefully into the piggy bank.

“70”、“80”后：上升到“元” "70"/"80"after:Rise to the"yuan"

　　到了我们那个年代，已经上升到以“元”为单位了，先是二三十，然后是五十，记得最后一次收压岁钱，那时是上世纪80年代末了吧，已经能收到百元“大钞了”。

In the us that s,Has risen to"yuan"Units of the,First generation,And then is fifty,Remember the last time receive lucky money,It was in the 1980 s to the end,Have to receive one hundred yuan"The bills".

　　不过为了得到压岁钱也要努力的，小时只要亲戚来家里拜年，我心里就一直想着磕头要压岁钱的事。当时还很小，只要爸爸妈妈一暗示，可以磕头了，就立刻跑到亲戚面前，在众多的小孩中，我的头磕得最响，惹得大人们哈哈大笑。

But in order to get lucky money to also want to the effort,Hours as long as the relative to home New Year,My in the mind have been thinking of kowtowing to New Year's money.Was still very small,As long as mom and dad a hint,To kowtow,Immediately ran in front of the relatives,In many of the children,My head knocked the loudest,Provoked the adults laughed.

　　其实小时候拿钱是没有用的，只是对于拿压岁钱有种莫名的兴奋而已，每次拿到压岁钱，我还是会跑出去，与同伴比谁拿的

Actually it is no use money as a child,Just to get lucky money, strangely excited,Every time to get lucky money,I will run out,Than who take with your partner

　　压岁钱多。小时得到的压岁钱都是“新票”，大人们常说新钱是长“脚”的，所以放在口袋里一会儿就摸一下，生怕一不小心飞掉了，记得有一年把钱藏起来，结果过完年竟然忘了藏哪了。努力磕头换来的压岁钱无论捂得多么严实，第二天还是要乖乖上缴，说是交新学期的学费，放在我身边不安全。等稍微大了些，爸爸会留几块钱放我身上，由我自由支配，这样我可以买一些鞭炮，和小伙伴们一起玩耍，那时候已经很满足了。

More than money.Hours to get lucky money"New ticket",The adults always said the new money is long"The foot"the,So soon to touch in my pocket,Afraid of accidentally flew away,Remember to hide money in one year,Even forgot to hide where the results over the years.Efforts to kowtow for New Year's money no matter how much covered sealed,The next day or want darling turned over,Make new semester tuition fees,On my side is not safe.A few big, etc,Dad will leave a few dollars let me,By my free,So that I can buy some firecrackers,And friends to play together,At that time already very satisfied.

　　随着改革开放的开始，老百姓的经济条件慢慢好了起来。小孩得到压岁钱，也可以稍微花一些，例如买点价格低的鞭炮等，但不敢多花，要不然会被家长责骂。

As the beginning of reform and opening up,Common people's economic conditions good up slowly.Children get lucky money,Can also take some slightly,Such as buy some low price of firecrackers,But did not dare to spend,Otherwise will be scolded by the parents.

　　就这两年，我存的压岁钱加起来已经有上万元了，不过，我很少花压岁钱，大部分交由妈妈保管，因为平时我想要什么东西，爸妈都会给我买。有时，我也会瞒着他们，到小店悄悄买张游戏卡什么的。我记得前几年，爷爷奶奶给我的压岁钱是100元到200元不等，不知怎地，从前几年开始，压岁钱一下子“涨”到800元，尤其是去年和今年，外公给我的压岁钱有1000元，加上爸妈和亲戚给的，红包是一年比一年给力了。

Just this two years,I have save money up for tens of thousands of yuan,but,I seldom spend New Year's money,Most under the custody of my mother,Because I want to what things,My parents will buy me.sometimes,I will also hide from them,Quietly to the store to buy the game card.I remember a few years ago,Grandma and grandpa for my New Year's money is 100 yuan to 200 yuan,somehow,Once upon a time a few years to,New Year's money all at once"rose"To 800 yuan,Especially the last year and this year,Grandpa gave me lucky money 1000 yuan,With my parents and relatives,A red envelope is to force the year after year.

　　记得小时拿到压岁钱正想着该买些什么东西时，妈妈对我说：“明天妈妈陪你去银行把钱存起来，以后就留着你上学用！”我一开始有点不太情愿，可是妈妈又说：“就存你的名字，以后再有钱就接着存，说不定以后你也是个小富翁呢！”我听妈妈这么一说，顿时又高兴起来了。到了第二天，妈妈带我来到了银行，可银行的阿姨告诉我，我还是小孩子，不能用我自己的名字存钱，我顿时泄了气。妈妈告诉我，这没有关系，虽然存在妈妈的卡里，但这笔钱还是我的。虽然妈妈这么说，但我总感觉压岁钱似乎已经不属于我了！（沈阳晚报 记者 陈馥）
