Chapter 98: Chinese New Year's Eve
Today is Chinese New Year's Eve.
After Ji Bei and Chang Yuan left, Li Bochuan, Zhou Shanjiang and Li Ruiwen began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
The group of children had already finished taking a shower and put on the new clothes that Li Miaozhuang had bought for them, and they didn't know how happy they were, but they were having fun at this time!
Li Bochuan looked at the smiles on their faces, and Li Bochuan also smiled. It's so simple in a child's world, you have new clothes to wear, you're happy, you can go out to play, you're happy, you're happy to have candy to eat, you're happy! It's not like the world of adults, even your smile is full of hypocrisy.
Li Bochuan thought to himself: It's so good! Let him sweep away the depression in his heart all day.
Li Bochuan likes the innocence of children, which is the purest smile directly. Li Bochuan has always felt that when people grow up, they always have to retain some innocence, which is like a diamond in the gravel, dazzling and dazzling.
The streets are quiet now, and there are basically no people, except for the occasional child or two chasing through the street in new clothes.
Every family is preparing a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
And Chang Yuan came to Yang Zhenzhi's house with the decoction given by Li Bochuan.
Yang Zhenzhi left after Li Bochuan Jibei and them left, he still has official business, and he has not returned home yet, and it is estimated that he can not go home until the time of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Chang Yuan came here, and it was Yang Zhenzhi's wife who opened the door for Chang Yuan.
"Hello sister-in-law, I'm here to bring medicine to the old man!" Chang Yuan said.
"Hurry up and come in!"
Subsequently, Yang Zhenzhi's wife took Chang Yuan to the old man's room.
"Auntie, this is the medicinal soup that Mr. asked me to bring you. Chang Yuan put the small porcelain vase in his hand on the old man's bedside table.
"Thank you!" the old man said, looking at Chang Yuan and then at his daughter-in-law.
Yang Zhenzhi's wife shook her head at her and motioned for her not to drink!
"Auntie, I think you're still drinking well. Let's tell you like this, when Ji Bei's wife asked Mr. to see a doctor, she also doubted Mr., but Ji Bei chose to believe Mr., so Ji Bei's wife only drank a bottle of medicine, and then it was fine, you see how energetic Ji Bei's wife is now, and it is not the same as before at all!" Chang Yuan was still very patient and said calmly: "Also, it is because Mr. asked me to persuade you to drink, otherwise I would not have said this." That's all there is to it, and gone. ”
After Chang Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left, not wanting to stay in this place for a second longer, obviously disappointed with Yang Zhenzhi's behavior in the morning.
"Oh yes, the gentleman also said that if he takes this bottle of medicine, he will not owe you, and it is good that the two do not owe each other. As soon as he walked to the door of the room, Chang Yuan remembered something again and said.
Chang Yuan left, and Yang Zhenzhi sent him out.
However, when Yang Zhenzhi's wife returned to her mother-in-law's room, she just wanted to tell her mother-in-law that she couldn't drink the bottle of medicine first, and she would wait for Yang Zhenzhi to come back before making a decision. Unexpectedly, Yang Zhenzhi's wife saw that the old man had already picked up the medicine bottle on the cabinet and drank all the medicinal soup inside.
"Mom, what are you doing! This can't be drunk! What if you have nothing but something!" Yang Zhenzhi's wife panicked instantly, and said nervously: "Quick, hurry up and spit it out!"
"What are you afraid of! Haven't you heard everything? Ji Bei's wife was cured by that young man. The old man said slowly.
"Mom, it's different!"
"Why is it different? People can drink it, but I can't drink it? People drink it and get cured, and I drink it and die? Besides, I see that young man is very kind-faced, and he is not a bad person at first glance, where will he come to harm me, an old woman, I see, you think too much, and you are always suspicious. ”
"How do you tell me to explain to Lao Yang?"
"You just said that I took the initiative to drink, and it has nothing to do with you!" the old man said with a wide face.
......
When night falls, thousands of homes are lit up.
You can always feel the kindness of fireworks in the world in the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, feel the warmth of family reunion and the joy of children's laughter.
Before eating Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Bochuan gave red envelopes to the children, one hundred yuan per person.
"Uncle, aunt, Happy Chinese New Year's Eve! This is your red envelope!" Li Bochuan handed the two big red envelopes in his hand to Zhou Shanjiang and Li Miaozhuang respectively, one red envelope 10,000.
Li Bochuan felt that only this kind of money with a good reason would be taken by Zhou Shanjiang and his wife, and if Li Bochuan simply gave the money to Zhou Shanjiang and his wife, Li Bochuan knew that they would never take it. Just like the 50,000 yuan that Li Bochuan took when he first came back, Li Bochuan finally broke his mouth and they reluctantly accepted it.
"This..." Li Miaozhuang looked at the thick red envelope in his hand, and then looked at Zhou Shanjiang, not knowing whether to accept it or not.
"Uncle and aunt, I don't have as much as Bo Chuan, only a thousand yuan, but I also earned it myself. Li Ruiwen also came over at this time to joke, and said with a smile: "Come! Give your uncle and aunt your red envelope!"
"Bo Chuan, Raven, put it away, I and your aunt have understood your intentions, and we can feel your filial piety. You are still developing, you also need money, we don't need it, hurry up and put it away. Zhou Shanjiang said and asked Li Miaozhuang to return the red envelope to Li Bochuan and Li Ruiwen.
"Your uncle is right, take it back, spend a lot of money outside, you can spend what you want, your uncle and I can't use it!" Li Miaozhuang said, and stuffed the red envelope in his hand into the hands of Li Bochuan and Li Ruiwen.
"Uncle, I'm not short of money now, on the contrary, I used to be incapable of changing anything, and now I'm just afraid that when I'm outside, you can save money with your children, how can this work! Hurry up and take it!" Li Bochuan began to say bitterly again, Li Bochuan felt that he was about to become a mouthy village woman.
"That's right, uncle and aunt, all year round, there is no time to honor you, finally there is a chance to honor you all year round, you can say it!" Li Ruiwen also joined the persuasion team.
"Accept! Accept!" Xiao Li Yu leaned next to Li Bochuan and said in a milky voice.
"You little clever ghost!" Li Bochuan was amused by Xiao Li Yu, and stretched out his hand to scratch Xiao Li Yu's little nose.
Xiao Li Yu wrinkled his nose and grimaced at Li Bochuan.
"Okay, we'll take it!" In the end, Zhou Shanjiang and Li Miaozhuang put away their red envelopes under the persuasion of Li Bochuan and Li Ruiwen.
Li Bochuan knows, and Li Ruiwen also knows, that Zhou Shanjiang and his wife are always pulling the children in the welfare home all year round, and they were and still are. For them, Zhou Shanjiang and his wife are their parents, and now that they have finally grown up, whether they have the ability or not, they should be filial to them, not a question of more money and less money, but a question of whether they have filial piety.
"Alright, let's eat!" Li Miaozhuang said.
"Eat!" Xiao Li Yu jumped up and down to tell the other children.
In this way, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten in the noise of a group of children.
During this period, Li Bochuan, Zhou Shanjiang and Li Ruiwen drank a little wine, which was brought by Ji Bei, and it was very fragrant wine. Let Zhou Shanjiang drink two more glasses, because Zhou Shanjiang has never drunk such fragrant and good wine.
I don't know why, Li Bochuan felt that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was particularly warm and feeling.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Bochuan and Li Ruiwen took a group of children to the small square in the village to watch people set off fireworks. And Zhou Shanjiang and his wife were watching the Spring Festival Gala at home.
The young people who finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner also changed places, followed three or two friends, found a place in the milk tea shop, and chatted until they forgot the time, and the milk tea shop at this time can be said to be difficult to find.
The streets are full of people, and the horns of motorcycles are blaring one after another. Two big red lanterns are hung at the door of each house, which looks lively and festive.
"Wow! it's beautiful!"
"This one is prettier!"
"This one is rounder!"
The children's exclamations rang in Li Bochuan's ears. Li Bochuan looked at their faces that were red with curiosity and amazement, and looked at their charming smiling faces, Li Bochuan would be unconsciously happy.
The beauty of the world is made up of the smiling faces of children, Li Bochuan feels.
The world is cruel, but a child's smile can heal the wounds, Li Bochuan thinks.
"Hey, New Year, Bo Chuan, I want to be able to make more money in the new year!" Li Ruiwen next to him looked at the fireworks and suddenly thought about it.
"What about you?" said Li Ruiwen.
Li Bochuan didn't say anything, just looked at Li Ruiwen with a smile, and then turned his face to look at the fireworks.
Seeing that Li Bochuan didn't speak, Li Ruiwen stopped talking and watched the fireworks intently.
In fact, Li Bochuan didn't think about what goals he wanted for the new year at all, because Li Bochuan knew what he wanted and what he did, and Li Bochuan felt that as long as he planted medicine seriously and treated his illness seriously, everything would be fine, and everything would go naturally.
"Come on, if you need help, just say it, we two brothers, there's nothing to be embarrassed to say. Li Bochuan said suddenly. Although Li Ruiwen didn't say it, Li Bochuan knew that in fact, Li Ruiwen was very difficult, a person was crawling in the big dye vat of society, and in the end he just mixed up with food and clothing, so Li Bochuan said this to Li Ruiwen.
Li Ruiwen and Li Bochuan bumped their fists and expressed gratitude, brother, I have received your heart!
Li Bochuan looked at the fireworks in the sky, and his heart was full of thoughts, but he returned to calm.
For Li Bochuan, this lively and warm but calm Chinese New Year's Eve has passed like this!
