This year's Chinese New Year's Eve meal is extremely rich, there is no shortage of chickens, ducks and fish, pigs, cattle and sheep, and even a rabbit, other dishes are all over the table, and there is almost no room for a cup on a round table.

There were seven people in the family, and the grandparents were picked up by the uncle when they came back, and the mother wanted to keep the two of them for the New Year, but the uncle was resolute, so he didn't stay.

Chen Shi poured drinks and wine for the whole family, except for his father and him, everyone else did not drink, the younger brother Chen Dong and the younger sister Chen Ying were still young, Li Yalian and her sister did not drink either, and the mother had always been very disgusted with wine, so they had either coke or orange juice in their cups.

When everything is done and the dishes are ready, then my father lights up the firecrackers and then respects the ancestors, burns incense and paper, and then plucks out a little and splashes the rice.

When all these things are done, the whole family is seated and you can start eating.

Chen Shi raised his glass, and the whole family moved the chopsticks after clinking glasses together. The first thing to eat is greens, and there are rules. Although the dishes are very rich, of course, so many things cannot be eaten, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal is to be inexhaustible, to be kept for tomorrow and next year, meaning that there is more than every year. Chen Shi only drank a few beers, ate half a bowl of rice and was full, and then the remaining half bowl of rice had to be kept.

Of course, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Shi has grown up, he is not qualified to receive crushed money, only his sister and brother are still young at home, so the pressure money is also for the two of them, the father gives one, Chen Shi wants to give one, and the sister is embarrassed to ask for it, but her mother still gave her a copy of the old age money.

After that, there was a vigil, and when it was twelve o'clock, the fireworks were to be set off, and Chen Shi had already bought two boxes of fireworks before he came back, so before it was twelve o'clock, his brother and sister couldn't hold their breath, and they had already moved the fireworks out to wait, until the Spring Festival Gala ended, and the two ran out to set off the fireworks without waiting.

As soon as this firework went off, it instantly resounded throughout the village, flying high, and the colorful colors that shone out when it exploded were very bright, compared to the small fireworks that the villagers bought in the market town, Chen Shi's can be described as a giant, just like the difference between a cannon and a rifle.

Therefore, as soon as their fireworks were released, everyone went out to watch, and occasionally there was a lot of discussion, saying that rich people should set off such large fireworks.

After the fireworks, Chen Shi wanted to sleep, although he had to keep vigil, but he didn't need to keep watch until dawn, just after twelve o'clock. When he woke up the next morning, his family had already prepared breakfast, and after he had eaten, someone came to play cards with him.

They are all cousins and cousins, and when it is the New Year, of course they have to get together and have a good time, so at the door of Chen Shi's house, they spread out the table and took out the playing cards to start playing.

Chen Shi asked, "Play with money?"

Everyone said yes, Chen Shi said, "How big is the play?"

Cousin Chen Lei said: "Smaller, we are not richer than you, just play for a dollar." ”

Everyone agreed with what the cousin said, so they began to play the landlord. Chen Shi accompanied his cousins to play cards, Li Yalian and her sister were pulled away by other relatives, and they didn't know what they were going to play, but there was nothing fun in the countryside, at most it was to swim to the market town, maybe in the school to see someone playing basketball, the real fun should be in a larger city, there are dragon dances in the streets, temple fairs, etc., there are not so many games in the countryside, everyone gets together to chat and play cards, or go to the market town to play a circle.

The younger brother Chen Dong and the younger sister Chen Ying did not play with the children of their age, and the two had already become the focus of the crowd unconsciously.

It's not about showing off, it's just about opening everyone's eyes and seeing things.

The most important thing is that the younger brother Chen Dong actually invited his friends to read his extracurricular books, read his homework, etc., which Chen Shi did not expect.

Parents are the same, they have long been pulled by uncles and aunts to talk about family life, some of them are asking about Chen Shi's situation, and some want to ask if they can let their children make a fortune with Chen Shi, in this regard, parents do not refuse, but Chen Shi has already explained before, saying that after coming, it is not to enjoy happiness, but to do the right thing, so that they can learn a craft, but if anyone thinks that after coming is to enjoy Qingfu, it is to point fingers, then there is no need to go.

It can be said that during the Chinese New Year, the whole village is the most lively, usually not at home, the young people who have been working outside have all returned, therefore, the popularity is much higher than usual, usually dressed ordinary, tattered peasant children are already new at this time, even the most unclean, playing in the mud children are also put on new clothes, at this time it seems to be a cute little angel.

Chen Shi thought about going to visit the New Year, but he had to wait until after the third day of junior high school, but what he didn't expect was that before the third day of junior high school, someone would come to his house to pay New Year's greetings, which was unexpected.

The first to come was a few aunts' house, aunts and uncles came together, I don't know if they made an appointment, and cousins and cousins actually came, Chen Shi hurriedly received everyone, and gave a red envelope after seeing the child, as for the adults, no one would be cheeky to ask for a red envelope.

Therefore, when a child still has a lot of privileges, not only do they have New Year's money, but they also have red envelopes to go to relatives' houses. However, Chen Shi sent red envelopes to the softest.

The cousin of the eldest aunt's family has a child and wants to give red envelopes, and the cousin and cousin of the second aunt's family want to give red envelopes, and the cousin and cousin are of course greeted by the younger brother and sister, they are of the same age and have the same topic, so they played together soon after they came.

The eldest cousin Liu Hui smoked the cigarette that Chen Shi handed him, Chen Shi was beside him, greeted him, and asked, "Cousin is still doing construction?" Last year, Chen Shi invited his cousin to work with him, but he didn't agree, and I don't know if he has any ideas this year.

The eldest cousin said: "Yes, although the construction work is a little hard and tiring, the salary is still okay, and my boss takes good care of me." ”

Chen Shi asked: "Do you want to do it yourself?" I have a lot of work here, if you are willing, you can come, although I can't guarantee that you will be rich, but at least it is safer than your construction work, at least you don't have to risk your life to work, but I know that it is easy to have accidents on the building." ”

Of course, construction accidents are very easy to happen, especially now, the real estate market has just opened, large and small construction companies have sprung up, all kinds of construction teams, some qualifications are not enough, of course, no one cares about safety matters, if there is a slight mistake in the operation, then it is a matter of human life.

This is an unavoidable thing in the era of barbaric development, if you want to wait for the construction site specifications, it will take at least ten years later, and now there are many contractors who run away, if there is an accident, the contractor will definitely run away with the money.

Of course, there is a higher level than the contractor, and if the developer is insolvent, of course, he will not hesitate to abandon the construction workers, therefore, the construction workers are just the lowest level of labor, when it is useful, people can call you with a little minimum wage, and when it is useless, they will kick you aside mercilessly.

It's a job that doesn't need to be secured, but most people in the countryside don't have a choice, and they don't think about finding a stable job to stay in the city, of course, it's temporary, so it's also very mobile.

My cousin said, "What are you doing with you? I think it's very good for you and your uncle to build a farm, and if you were looking for me, I'll do one, but unfortunately, I didn't hear that you were going to build a farm." ”

Chen Shidao: "The farm is a small fight, if it were you, what do you want to do? Do you just want to be a farm?"

My cousin said, "I can't do the farm, if I can, I'll continue to build next." "It's already smooth sailing for him to do construction work, and it's hard to get him to change careers, because he doesn't know anything else, and secondly, he doesn't fit in, so if he continues to work in construction, my cousin will feel smooth.

Chen Shi said: "If you want to do construction, you can do it, my cousins also want to do it, I will let them follow me, if you are interested, you can come with them, you can bring a construction team best." ”

My cousin said: "It's not difficult to pull a construction team, the difficulty is the design, if you don't understand architectural design, it's useless for you to have a construction team, and you have to have a way to live, no one gives you a job, and the construction team will be in vain." ”

Chen Shidao: "You don't have to worry about these, you only need to be in charge of a construction team, responsible for being a contractor, I will give you the job, you just need to take people to do the work well, and there are no problems in quality, so it is better than you being a worker on a construction site, you say, right?"

Although the contractor is not a high-level profession, but compared with the construction workers, the contractor is already a person of another class, what Chen Shi wants to do is to let relatives and friends get rid of the identity of peasants, so that everyone has a chance to cross the class, so that everyone can enter the middle class.

It's a big goal, but he believes he can succeed, and now that many relatives are ready to follow him, he is confident that he can make a good life for them.

After listening to Chen Shi, my cousin said: "As long as you have a job, I can take someone to do it, and there will be absolutely no quality problems." ”

Chen Shi was overjoyed and said: "Then it's decided, after the New Year, you will bring someone to me, and I will arrange a job for you at that time, you are the contractor, you can negotiate with others about the salary, and then how much you can earn after taking the money depends on yourself." ”
