The first stop for a family of four was the grandparents' house, in this remote Lunan village, the family drove a car back for the New Year, and suddenly became the object of attention of the whole village.

After all, at the beginning of 2000, there were only a handful of people in the city who could drive a Buick sedan back to their hometown in the countryside for the New Year.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, after watching the Spring Festival Gala, Xu Yiyang lay on the earthen kang in his hometown, and his mobile phone rang non-stop.

The brothers who slept with each other sent text messages to greet the New Year, and Shen Lele, Gu Sijia, Tong Yuewei and Ning Ruolin also sent text messages to say hello one after another.

Xu Yiyang replied one by one, and took the initiative to call Hu Bingwen and Mr. Zhao Hansheng, who helped him a lot, to pay New Year's greetings.

Several brothers who slept with him told him that they had become the pride of their family when they went back this time.

After all, the money everyone has shared this semester has exceeded 200,000 yuan, and several people have suddenly become local tyrants, and they have also greatly improved the economic level of their families.

Like Li Yiming, the money he earned with Xu Yiyang in a semester was a great help to the family because his parents worked hard to plant for more than ten or twenty years.

Li Yiming called Xu Yiyang, and in addition to thanking him, he also told Xu Yiyang that he had just bought a house in his hometown this morning.

The house cost less than 50,000 yuan for a 100-square-meter house, and according to him, his parents cried several times in the house.

Coincidentally, Chen Meng also bought a house.

The old house in his hometown in the northeast is too small, it is the house that his parents divided before they were laid off, and the usable area of the two-bedroom house is only more than 40 square meters.

In order to improve the life of his parents, he spent nearly 80,000 yuan to buy a second-hand three-bedroom apartment in the city that is almost a quasi-new house.

After buying a house, he also specially took his elderly grandmother from the countryside and lived with their family.

This year's New Year, their family of three generations and four people spent the New Year in a new house.

Xu Yiyang was very relieved when he heard this.

Rebirth is the favor of fate, and these roommates can be regarded as getting a little light of fate from themselves.

After spending the first day of the Lunar New Year at my grandparents' house, early in the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, a family of four set off for my grandmother's house dozens of kilometers away.

Xu Yiyang's grandmother and grandfather gave birth to a total of four children, in addition to Xu's mother, there are also Xu Yiyang's two uncles and an aunt.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle both became families in the village, living next to the old man almost left and right, and the younger aunt married in another village.

Xu Yiyang's family of four came back, and the eldest and second uncles were not diligent, not only all kinds of greetings, but also took the initiative to help carry all kinds of gifts to grandma and grandpa's hall.

Xu Yiyang said hello to his grandmother and grandfather, chatted with them for a few words, and his grandfather urged his uncle to go out and set off firecrackers quickly.

As soon as Xu Yishan heard about the fire, she immediately became interested, and she had to take Xu Yiyang with her, so when her parents chatted with her elders and peers, Xu Yiyang was dragged by her and went out to fire the gun.

Xu Yiyang, who is an elder brother, doesn't know why Xu Yishan, a cute and watery little girl, has a soft spot for such things as firecrackers.

The firecrackers in the countryside of Lunan are not the same as the ordinary red-skinned firecrackers, the firecrackers in Lunan are wrapped in waste newspaper, the thumb is generally thick, and the loud sound is incomparable.

Xu Yiyang picked up the firecrackers with a long bamboo pole specially for firecrackers, Xu Yishan pinched the cannon twist with one hand, and wanted to use a lighter to light it with the other hand, Xu Yiyang hurriedly shouted: "Stand far away, stupid, why don't you change me to order it." ”

"I don't!"

At this time, the eldest cousin of the uncle's family wore a shiny black cotton jacket and crossed his hands in his sleeves, and walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, he hurriedly greeted Xu Yishan: "Shanshan, I'll give you a cigarette and hold it, this cannon is very powerful, don't collapse you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a pack of soft boxes directly from the sleeve and the front door, took out a lighter and a cigarette from the half-deflated cigarette case, lit it twice, and handed it to Xu Yishan.

Xu Yishan smiled and said, "Thank you, cousin." ”

After speaking, he ran back with a cigarette, held the cigarette from a distance, and asked Xu Yiyang: "That's okay, brother!"

Xu Yiyang nodded: "If you click, run, and look back when you run away." ”

"Got it. Xu Yishan said: "I am a little expert in setting off firecrackers, so I don't need to be so nervous about this little thing." ”

After speaking, he lit the cannon twist, threw the cigarette to the ground in fright, and ran away with his hands on his ears.

Firecrackers crackled and shook the sky.

As soon as the cannon was blown up, and the smoke had not yet dispersed, my cousin ran over and picked up the cigarette roll that Xu Yishan had thrown in a panic just now in the cannon skin all over the ground, and took two puffs, with a beautiful face.

Xu Yiyang looked at his cousin's posture, and suddenly had a sense of Mr. Wang Baoqiangshu's déjà vu.

Thinking about this cousin, it is indeed very strange, as long as there is a stutter, he will never work, and if he can't find a partner, he would rather be an idle second-rate child in the village than go out to work.

After the cannon was fired, the eldest cousin held a cigarette in his mouth, continued to put his hands in his sleeves, and circled around the Buick driven by Xu Yiyang several times, and then Nunu chin and asked him: "Yangyang, I heard that learning to drive is easy, is it true?"

Xu Yiyang nodded: "It's not difficult, you can get a driver's license in a month." ”

"Hey, so fast?" the eldest cousin smiled and said, "Oh, it's still a driver's job, the wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, and it's majestic......"

Xu Yiyang said: "The driver is not so easy to do, and the body is prone to occupational diseases after sitting in the car for a long time." ”

The eldest cousin grinned, squinted at the smoke coming out of the cigarette butts, and said, "What are you afraid of if you sit for a long time? Isn't it the same if I move a Mazha to the village for a day? ”

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Xu Yiyang and said with a smile: "Yangyang, why don't I apply for a famous school to learn to drive, and I will be a driver for you!"

Xu Yiyang couldn't help but grow his head and said, "Brother, I'm going to school now, how can I use a driver." ”

The eldest cousin said happily: "Then who usually drives your car?"

Xu Yiyang said: "This is the company's car, and the company has a full-time driver to drive. ”

The eldest cousin immediately said: "Isn't this just right? I'll go to your company as a full-time driver, and you can rest assured that your own family can use it, right?"

Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "Brother, everything has a first come, first come, if I drive the original employees away in order to arrange my own family, other people will be chilled when they see it, why don't you wait, when my company adds another car, I will let you be the driver." ”

In fact, Xu Yiyang knew the number of roads of his eldest cousin very well, and he didn't dare to let him be the driver when he was killed, it was nothing more than a delaying tactic first.

However, I didn't expect the eldest cousin to be unhappy, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said, "What's the matter? Isn't it true that the boss will fire whoever he wants? If they dare to talk nonsense, you will give them all the time, and when the time comes, you can hire these cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins, and you can do better than them, and they are all your own people, and you can rest assured, right?"

Xu Yiyang smiled slightly: "This is not good, my employees all need professional skills, and they can't just go and do it." ”

The eldest cousin took a sip of his cigarette, and in order not to take his hand out of the warm cuffs, he bared his teeth, shook the cigarette roll up and down with his teeth, and skillfully shook off the long cigarette ash on it, and then said: "Yangyang, do you look down on our poor relatives? The director of the Houshan Cement Factory has put all his relatives in the factory, and I am a benevolent brother, who has not graduated from elementary school, and he has been assigned a job with a monthly salary of seven or eight hundred, why can't you do it?"

"It's really not ......" Xu Yiyang said sincerely: "Big cousin, this is not something to look down on, look down on, I am doing a training class, I want to teach students to read, and most of the students are junior high school and high school students, can you teach before you graduate from primary school?"

The eldest cousin said: "Let's not talk about teaching, let's talk about the driver, I'll be a driver for you, you don't need any academic qualifications, right?"

Xu Yiyang was helpless: "Didn't you say it just now, there is already a full-time driver, if you add another new car, I will invite you again." ”

The eldest cousin asked: "Then when will you add it? I see that you also make a lot of money, or else, you buy a car for my aunt and uncle, and I will be a full-time driver for them in the future, and I can often drive them back to see our grandparents, oh no, it's my grandparents, your grandparents." ”

Xu Yiyang's head suddenly became as big as a fight, so he couldn't say it, no matter how he said it?

So he could only lie and say: "Brother, my business is not good now, I have to repay tens of thousands of bank loans a month, and if the market is a little worse, I have to lose money, how can I have spare money to buy a car." ”

The eldest cousin was immediately extremely disappointed: "Then when will my driver be able to take up his post?"

Xu Yiyang said: "You wait, wait. ”

The eldest cousin asked again: "Then what other positions in your training class are I capable of? ”

Xu Yiyang said seriously: "Cousin, this is really no ......."

Fortunately, at this time, grandma came out to Zhang Luo for dinner, which could be regarded as freeing Xu Yiyang from his eldest cousin's nonsense.

At the dinner table, the eldest cousin seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Xu Yiyang, and kept grasping the words at the dinner table, so he squeezed Xu Yiyang twice, saying that Xu Yiyang is now powerful, rich, and looks down on poor relatives.

The aunt couldn't look at it, so she said, "What are you talking about, didn't Yangyang lend you money to build your new house?"

The eldest cousin said angrily, "It was borrowed by my aunt." ”

The aunt said: "Your aunt borrowed it, that is also Yangyang's money, you hurry out to find a job after the year, and hurry up to make money to pay back your aunt." ”

The eldest cousin immediately came to his senses, and blurted out to Xu Yiyang's grandfather: "Grandpa, I just told Yangyang about this, you see, Yangyang's business is so big now, but I don't have a job yet, I think about getting a driver's license and being a driver for Yangyang, but he just doesn't want to live or die, you say, isn't this looking down on poor relatives?"

Xu Yiyang's grandfather hesitated for a moment, and said to Xu Yiyang: "Yangyang, it's not easy for your eldest cousin, and it's even more difficult for him to have the heart to do a job, or you can make arrangements? You see that your cousin is in his twenties, and he can't say that he is a partner, if he has a decent job, he will be able to talk about his daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Xu Yiyang's grandfather is an old feudal, and he is patriarchal, and he loves this eldest cousin the most.

The eldest uncle has two children, the cousin is the eldest, and a cousin who is two years younger than him is married;

The second uncle gave birth to a daughter and had no son, so the grandfather only had a grandson, the eldest cousin.

In addition, he is the eldest son and eldest grandson, so he is naturally spoiled.

As soon as he heard that his eldest cousin, who had always been reluctant to work, took the initiative to work as a driver for Xu Yiyang, the old man immediately felt relieved, and felt that his grandson had a drama in marrying his daughter-in-law, and even hugged his great-grandson in his mind.

When the uncle saw that the old man had opened his mouth, he hurriedly echoed with an expectant face: "Yangyang, you also know your cousin's situation, you have the ability to be a younger brother, you have to pull your cousin if you say anything!"
