Chapter 024: I'll Pay You Back Tomorrow
Chinese New Year's Eve.
Xia Lu and his parents came to his grandparents' house, and today is the reunion day of the Xia family.
Nowadays in the city, many families choose to eat their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner outside restaurants.
Xia Lu's grandparents insisted on eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, and the two old people felt that this would give them a little bit of New Year's flavor.
"Grandpa, grandma, happy new year and good health!" Xia Lu carried a large bag of gifts and gave his grandparents a New Year's greeting.
"It's good that Lulu has grown taller again. Grandma smiled from ear to ear, so she gave Xia Lu a red envelope.
"I heard that Lu Lu's academic performance has gone up and he has been in the top few in the school, which is very rare, and I want to praise it. Old Man Xia stuffed Xia Lu with a red envelope.
"Grandpa, who are you listening to? Not the top few, but more than 100 in the whole school. Xia Lu explained, you can't deceive the elderly.
"Yes, more than a hundred, more than a hundred, and that's pretty good. Old Man Xia took out a piece of jade, and handed it to Xia Lu in a serious voice, saying that this was the ancestral treasure of the old Xia family.
The jade is carved in the shape of a horse, implying that the horse has been successful. Mr. Xia looked forward to Xia Lu's academic success and forged ahead bravely in the examination room.
Xia Lu accepted the beautiful jade, and said in his heart that our old Xia family still has ancestral treasures? I'm afraid it wasn't bought in the scenic store when my grandparents participated in the sunset red tour group.
Xia Lu has a deep relationship with his grandparents, he loves his grandparents, and his grandparents also love their only eldest grandson.
Daughter-in-law Cui Minhong was preparing Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen, and Xia Guohua and Xia Lu chatted with the old man and the old lady.
Xia Lu's uncle, aunt, uncle and other families arrived one after another, and the flavor of the year became stronger, and the whole family was reunited.
Xia Lu has a cousin, a cousin, and a cousin, and the Xia family is in Xia Lu's generation, and he is the only man.
The grandparents love Xia Lu very much, and the uncle and aunt also love Xia Lu.
Only the uncle is lukewarm to Xia Lu, and the relationship between Xia Lu and his uncle is only valued at 1 point, which is slightly better than a stranger.
Why the uncle and nephew are so stiff is a long story, and it is not suitable for detailed discussion on the joyful and festive Chinese New Year's Eve.
"How many points? 597 points? Xia Lu, good. The aunt gave Xia Lu a heavy red envelope, and said to her daughter, who is Xia Lu's cousin, "Wenwen, you want to learn from Xia Lu's brother, do you hear?"
Wenwen, who is in the sixth grade of primary school, smiled, silent is better than sound.
Xia Lu, whose academic performance has improved by leaps and bounds, has become the focus of the Xia family, and the uncle then stuffed red envelopes: "Xia Lu keeps his good condition and has no problem being admitted to a key university." ”
The uncle's daughter, who is Xia Lu's cousin, has already joined the work, and she is also full of expectations for this cousin, and her cousin gave Xia Lu a new mobile phone...... Cover.
Relatives' children have come and gone to receive red envelopes, Xia Lu received red envelopes from his uncle and aunt, and Xia Guohua also gave Wenwen a red envelope.
Xia Lu's cousin has a job and financial income, and she loses the right to receive red envelopes.
The uncle also gave Xia Lu a red envelope, in exchange for the same value, Xia Guohua returned a red envelope to Xia Lu's cousin.
The rituals have been exhausted, and the Xia family reunion dinner was held in a happy and harmonious atmosphere.
The activities after the meal are more traditional, those who play mahjong play mahjong, those who play poker play poker, and those who watch the Spring Festival Gala watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The form is not important, what matters is the spirit of reunion.
There are more than a dozen people in the three generations of the Xia family, that is, every year during the Chinese New Year, the whole family members are reunited together.
"Brother Xia Lu, play games. Wenwen held the mobile phone in her hand and entered the game interface, she showed a longing look, wanting Xia Lu to take her in a double row.
Xia Lu: "Game?
Wenwen took her mobile phone and shook it in front of Xia Lu's eyes: "It's this game, you taught me to play, you are the king!"
Xia Lu had no interest in the game interface that he was familiar with, and he said, "What game do elementary school students play?
"You don't have to do your homework during the New Year, you can play games during the New Year...... Brother, you weren't like this before. Wenwen stared at Xia Lu in surprise, her brother has changed, and her brother is no longer the brother who took me to fly and take me to my supergod.
"If you don't bring it, you won't bring it, I'll play it myself!" Wenwen entered the game alone, her operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the score was 0-15 at a glance.
As soon as her nose was sore, Wenwen's heart was even more sore, and Wenwen, who knelt five times in a row, even began to doubt her life.
After all, Wenwen, who is in the sixth grade, was taken home by her father at ten o'clock in the evening.
Xia Lu's family spent 0 o'clock at his grandfather's house, and there were also activities on the first day of the first lunar month, going to Xia Lu's grandparents' house to pay New Year's greetings.
A round of relatives, time came to the fifth day of the new year in a blink of an eye.
Cui Minhong took stock of the income and expenditure of red envelopes in the past few days, and her son was quite popular and brought back a bunch of red envelopes.
The amount of red envelopes received by Xia Lu - the amount of red envelopes spent by Xia Guohua/Cui Minhong = 4,600 yuan.
Xia Guohua and Cui Minhong are quite benevolent and righteous, and the net income of 4,600 yuan is at the discretion of Xia Lu.
"It's nice to finally have money, and it feels good to have money. Xia Lu's tears were about to fall, he couldn't control such a huge fortune in the past because of his poor academic performance.
It's different now, and you can really do whatever you want with good grades.
On the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Cui Minhong sighed and sighed: "I played mahjong with my sister and my younger siblings today, and I lost all the money, Xia Lu, lend your red envelope money to my mother for a thousand, and pay you back tomorrow." ”
"Mom, take it to win money!" Xia Lu did not hesitate to lend his mother a thousand yuan.
On the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Cui Minhong looked sad: "Hey, my luck is too bad, I don't have a handful of cards, Xia Lu, borrow another 1,000 yuan from my mother, and I will definitely pay you back tomorrow." ”
Xia Lu took out another thousand yuan: "Playing cards is such a thing, there is no winning general, and there is no light loss to the emperor, this is a thousand yuan, my mother will take it and play casually!"
On the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Cui Minhong was in no mood to eat: "Can you believe Xia Lu, I can't win money with Laizi in one hand......?"
"It's a thousand yuan, Mom took it and turned it over, you don't have to give it back to me, I'll go to school tomorrow." Xia Lu's hand to take out the money trembled slightly, the three thousand yuan was gone, and there were still one thousand and six left.
Before the festival, my mother played a few games, and the winning rate was as high as 80%.
During the Spring Festival, my mother did not win a game, and the winning rate was an incredible 0%.
The contrast is so great, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy!
With 1,600 yuan in his hand, at five o'clock in the morning on the seventh day of the new year, Xia Lu ran to school as if fleeing for his life.
The third grade of Jiangcheng No. 2 Middle School and High School starts on the seventh day of the first lunar month.
On the first day of school, the senior three (5) class adjusted the seat layout according to the rule of "bi-monthly seat change".
Xia Lu packed his belongings, he was ranked 11th in his class in the monthly exam in January, and he will be moved to the penultimate row.
"I'm leaving. Xia Lu said to Hao Tian, who was at the same table, that the relationship between the two at the same table only lasted for two months.
