[superapbp]

What does the kid say?

[jdfan23]

@superapbp It means grandfather (or more specifically, it means your mother's dad)

[hsbcuk]

Hello @superapbp, @jdfan23 is correct the little boy does say "Wishing you have a wealthy year, Grandad." Hope that helps

[MrLeonkhoo]

@hsbcuk The boy says Gong Gong which means Grandad, because he saw the Ang Pao (red packet) in his pocket.

[MrLeonkhoo]
