My grandchildren flew in on the third day of the New Year and here they are receiving their angpows (red packets). Their Ah Yee (aunt)who is single is also entitled to her angpow. We get ours too from our married daughter!
Children who are married give angpows to their parents when they come to visit. They usually have their reunion dinner at their in-laws' place, according to the Chinese custom and then only come to visit their parents.
Our son left the same morning as our grandchildren arrived as he had to visit his in-laws who live in Singapore. So he didn't get to see his niece and nephew and to hand them their angpows. However, Ah Yee was delegated to hand over their angpows to them.
