Monday, February 15, 1999, December 30 of the lunar calendar, Jiyin Month, Bingyin Month, Bo Xi Day, Year of the Tiger, Chinese New Year's Eve.

Today is the traditional Chinese New Year's Eve, and after 12 o'clock tonight, it is the beginning of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning, they went to the store and set off firecrackers, lit a fire, sent all the year-end bonuses, and accepted a bunch of blessings from the employees below, Zhou Fangyuan's family of three waited for the fire made of wood to burn out little by little, and then drove in the direction of Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather's house.

This should be regarded as the tradition of all Chinese people, as long as there is that condition, they will go to their grandfather's house for the New Year on the day of the New Year, and the Zhou family is no exception.

Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather's house is in the family courtyard of the Light Industry Bureau, next to the Earthquake Bureau, across the street from the north gate of the Beitong Children's Park, and only a few hundred meters away from Duanqing IKEA. However, Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather's house is an old building, and the history of this building can be traced back to more than 20 years ago, which is older than Zhou Fangyuan's age.

This can be regarded as the first few batches of buildings in Beitong City, this house can definitely be regarded as everyone's dream in those years, in fact, until now, some families are also working hard to live in the upper floors, and Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather lived in the building more than ten years ago, and the old man was indeed the leading figure in Beitong City.

The top students of Nanlong University of Technology, the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, after the old man graduated from college and returned to Beitong, he can be regarded as the top few people in the entire Beitong City.

However, the old man has a lot of connections in Beitong City, and there are a lot of protégés, even if he has retired, there will be many people who come to visit the New Year, and if he wants to do something, he can find some relationships, but it is only limited to some simple things, and the difficulty is too high, and the old man will not be able to catch it.

The gossip is far away.

In short, the whole family has to come here for dinner during the Chinese New Year.

At this time of the year, it could be regarded as a difficult time for Zhou Fangyuan, especially in the years before he was reborn, this day could even be called a disaster for him, and the mood of anticipation and fear was constantly entangled in his heart.

Looking forward to the reunion of the family, there is good food, fun, there is the Spring Festival Gala to watch, and you can play games with your younger brothers and sisters. Of course, this expectation only lasts until the end of high school, and after high school, the expectation is gone, and the rest is all fear.

I am afraid of the contemptuous eyes of my family, I am afraid of all kinds of inquiries from my family, and I am afraid of seeing the picture that my parents are not confident enough to talk to anyone because they are not angry. Although it is the closest family, there will always be comparisons. Zhou Fangyuan's second uncle is a primary school teacher, although this job feels quite ordinary, and there is no oil and water, but after all, it is a model for others and a profession worthy of respect. Needless to say, the third uncle, the police uncle, is already the deputy director at a young age, and the future is limitless.

Before Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, the second uncle was already the leader of the school, the third uncle became the deputy director, and the aunt worked in the street office. Of course, none of this matters, the important thing is that their children are very promising.

Although the eldest sister of the second uncle's family, Zhou Fanghui, has average academic performance, she has married a good husband, and her brother-in-law's family all work in the railway, and their lives are quite good. Yu Jiamin, the second sister of my aunt's family, had just graduated from college at that time and was working in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and it was said that she was in a relationship with the host of a local TV station. Zhou Fangyu, the third sister of the third uncle's family, was in high school and was admitted to Beitong No. 2 Middle School, which was still one of the best middle schools in Beitong at that time. The second uncle's little sister Zhou Fangyue has just entered junior high school, but because she has been dancing since elementary school and has deep dance skills, she was sent by the second uncle to a very good closed dance school in Liao Province early.

A few younger sisters, either have a good life, or have a good fate, in short, no one has to worry about it.

On the contrary, it is his eldest brother, who is not literate, he is in his thirties, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend. Every time he went to a family gathering, although his family didn't say anything, he always felt that other people looked at him with a hint of disdain. Of course, this is also normal, after all, he lived a life that was simply inhuman, he almost lost a family, and he still achieved nothing, and it was enough to give him face if people didn't write their disdain directly on their faces, what qualifications did he have to ask for too much?

But this life is different.

Today, not to mention his academic performance, he can also get the ranking of the sixth and twenty-second in the class. Family conditions have undergone earth-shaking changes, and today's Beitong people can not know the names of the city's senior officials and mayors, but they will definitely not know the name of Jin Polo. Jin Polo has now almost become the signboard of Beitong City, and ordinary people in several cities close to Beitong will inevitably mention Jin Polo as long as they mention Beitong City.

Such a change can be described as earth-shaking compared to the previous life.

So Zhou Fangyuan no longer has to worry about his family showing disdain, because his family has completely turned over. So he has no fear of the New Year now, on the contrary, he is full of expectations for the New Year, and even a little impatient.

The white BMW car turned into the short street in front of the family courtyard, the street is very narrow, and can only accommodate two cars in parallel, fortunately, there are not many private cars in Beitong in this year, and there are not many on the street, so there are even fewer in such a short street.

All the way to the family home of the Light Industry Bureau, many people paid attention to the car along the way. No way, the pure white car is eye-catching, BMW is a well-known brand, the people living here are the families of the Light Industry Bureau, 99% of them are ordinary workers, when have they seen such a car in this short street?

After the car drove into the family courtyard of the Light Industry Bureau, it was even more amazing, the children who were setting off guns in the yard were fine, but the parents who accompanied the children could not be calm. Everyone watched with amazement as the car entered the compound, then passed through the compound little by little, and finally stopped in front of the first unit of Building 2.

When the three members of the Zhou family got out of the car, opened the trunk and took out all kinds of New Year's goods, everyone was completely silent.

It took a long time before the sound of discussion sounded.

"That's Zhou Jianguo......, right? What did you get rich?"

"You don't know?"

"I don't know. ”

"You don't watch TV, Zhou Jianguo is developed now. Do you know the most famous Jinpolo fast food in Beitong now?"

"I know, it's under the East Star Building, wait, you mean, he works for Kim Polo?"

"What, he's the boss of Kim Polo!"

"No, he's the owner of the Kinbolo? I've heard that the shop can make money to death. ”

"That's not it, he's the big boss now. ”

"Good guy, it's terrible, it's terrible, which grave of this old Zhou family has green smoke, and there is such a character. ”

"That's not easy to say, this person, when the time comes, it's really everything, do you see that car? Guess how much that car costs?"

"Uh...... No matter what, I need more than 200,000 yuan......"

"Rub it back, more than 200,000 yuan? Let me tell you, that's BMW, a world famous brand, just this car, you don't even think about it if it's not 800,000 or 900,000, and you can't even buy a third of more than 200,000 yuan." ”

"Eight or nine hundred thousand, is it so expensive?"

"Of course, this is a high-end car, my daughter-in-law and their factory director can't afford to drive a luxury car, now I know that people are developed. ”

"Got it, good guy, it's amazing. ”

This conversation took place less than ten meters away from Zhou Fang.

The two of them didn't specifically lower their voices, so Zhou Fangyuan vaguely heard what they were talking about. Father Zhou also heard it, and the father and son glanced at each other, and a happy smile appeared on their faces. What is the purpose of making money? In addition to making life better, isn't it just to have face? Zhou Fangyuan admits that he is very vulgar, but he is such a vulgar person, he wants to make money just to live a good life and have face, otherwise for this, what is the meaning of this life?

If you have money, people can't be too stingy, this year's New Year is too busy, Dad Zhou and Mom Zhou didn't have time to come over years ago, so they can't help grandparents buy New Year's goods, today the Chinese New Year's Eve finally has time, Dad Zhou bought a lot of things early this morning before opening the store, and the trunk is almost unloadable.

I bought more than a dozen bottles of various high-end liquors alone, and the lowest price of each bottle was more than two or three hundred yuan, which was equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary worker, and it was two or three thousand bottles in later generations, which was already quite a good wine.

Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather likes to have some liquor, he didn't have money before, but now that he has money, he should pay tribute to the old man. In fact, Zhou's father still wants to buy more expensive wine, but it's a pity that the general liquor store doesn't have too much inventory of expensive wine, and the Chinese New Year is a good season to sell wine, even if there is, I'm afraid it will be bought out early. Dad Zhou got up early today to buy it, and he only has a ghost if he can buy it.

In addition to wine, there are also various skin care products, etc., anyway, Dad Zhou really invested money today, and the trunk is full of things, and it has to be 10,000 smaller.

Take out all the New Year's goods, lock the trunk, and prepare for the family of three to go upstairs. There were already a bunch of neighbors standing there at the entrance of the corridor, seeing Zhou Fangyuan's family of three coming over, everyone greeted each other, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother also responded with a smile, but Zhou Fangyuan didn't bother to pay attention to these people, ran up to the second floor in three steps and two steps with things, put down the things and knocked on the door hard.

"Here we go!"

Grandma's voice rang out, and the door opened.

"Happy New Year, grandma!"

As soon as Zhou Fangyuan saw his grandmother, he immediately shouted loudly, and his shout was equivalent to kicking off the first Chinese New Year's Eve after his rebirth.
