Abstract:
Recently, a newspaper where a college classmate works carried out a news planning. They distributed questionnaires to investigate the previous red envelope money situation among the third to sixth grade primary school students in the whole city. There were many classic quotes in the returned questionnaires. After reading them, we can't help but exclaim: children, you are really talented! Below is an excerpt of some answers without any changes.
