After working hard for almost two weeks, I finally arrived on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.

Li Xian gathered all the employees together, gave a few simple blessings, and distributed the year-end bonus in the cheers of everyone.

The least of them were two or three hundred, and the more were like pillars, and there were more than a thousand.

Bonuses are linked to performance, and everyone agrees that there is nothing to complain about.

Chen Mingyong returned to his hometown in Shenzhen the day before, and before leaving, Li Xian gave him 2,000 yuan, along with his salary and bonus.

Zhang Shuhua's father and daughter also returned home, and Li Xian advanced a total of 600 yuan to them.

After purchasing some New Year's goods, Li Xian, Zhuzi and Li Ping took the car back to Li Village together.

Looking at the building that rose from the ground, if it weren't for the familiar earthen house courtyard next to it, Li Xian would almost not recognize it.

"Dad, the house was built so quickly?"

Li Xian saw Li Jinde's figure at a glance and shouted from afar.

"It's not that you set the salary so high, and you take care of the food, the village is full of idlers, who doesn't come to such a cheap thing? Even the people from the next village come to help move the bricks, can you not be happy?"

Li Jinde felt distressed when he thought of his salary, and when he saw Li Xian, he kept counting them.

"It's not much, it was built a day earlier, and everyone can have their own room. ”

Li Xian walked over and handed over the New Year's goods in his hand to Li Jinde.

Li Jinde briefly glanced at the New Year's goods, and his face was a little unhappy: "What are you doing to buy so many firecrackers? ”

"Have fun. ”

Li Xian threw down a sentence and entered the house.

In the house, Li Shuangzheng, who came back from the school exam, instructed his younger siblings to do their homework, patiently explaining the exercises for them without any impatience.

Li Xian nodded seriously, Li Shuang's younger brother is indeed engaged in research materials, not to mention his good grades, and his temper is surprisingly good.

"Xiaoshuang, Xiaoshan, Xiaoxin, Xiaozhen. ”

Li Xian called their names one by one.

"Brother!" shouted in unison.

"Don't be bored at home, take you to set off firecrackers. ”

Li Xian lit up the lighter in his hand and beckoned to them with a smile.

Several children followed behind Li Xian, the excitement in their hearts was self-evident, they usually always watched other children play, and everyone was very envious.

Li Xian grinned and snatched the firecracker from Li Jinde's hand, and ran away as soon as he slipped away, leaving Li Jinde to chase and scold behind: "How old are you, you are still frizzy, take care of your younger brothers and sisters, don't let them get hurt." ”

"Brother, how much does this watch cost? The teacher said that it was very valuable, so let me be careful not to lose it. Li Shuangmo held the watch on his wrist, which Li Xian brought back from Shenzhen last time to give him.

"Not much. Li Xian casually said perfunctorily, pressed the lighter, and lit a firecracker stuck in the ice.

"Bang!" the ice splashed, causing Li Zhen to giggle.

When it was time to eat, Peng Lanhua stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted to them to eat, patting off the soil on their bodies one by one, laughing and scolding a few times.

On the dining table, there are fried sweet potato atoms, meat atoms, vegetable buns and other unique foods of the farm.

It's rare to eat once a year, and this year with spare money, Peng Lanhua is not stingy and prepares a lot of food.

The cabinet was full of marinated chicken, duck, fish, and even beef.

The new house has not yet been built, Li Jinde has packed up a grain storage warehouse for Li Xian, although the night is a little cold, but the family's songs and laughter make his heart very warm.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the village custom is to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

A table full of meals, Li Jinde invited Li Li Xian's grandparents over.

Because of the incident between Li Xian and Wang Datou last time, he was still angry in his heart, and he didn't call a few brothers to eat together.

There are few uncles and uncles here, Li Xian is happy and comfortable, and his brain is a lot clearer.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xian took Li Shuang to his uncle's house five miles away early in the morning with gifts.

The uncle lived at the head of the village, standing at the door and looking, he saw Li Xian and the two from afar, calling loudly.

His grandparents died early, and Li Xian went door-to-door to pay respects to several uncles, and then returned to his uncle's house.

The uncle left them for lunch and personally slaughtered a large carp raised in the pond.

At the dinner table, my cousin laughed a few words from time to time, my aunt also took the initiative to pull the family cooking, and the uncle served Li Xian and the two of them with food, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After the meal, Li Xian took a sip of the tea sent by his cousin, watched his uncle fiddling with the tractor, and knew that he made a living by helping people pull goods, and he could only barely make ends meet all year round.

My uncle's current home is a blue brick house, with no extravagant furniture, let alone expensive electrical appliances.

"Uncle, that's the case, I now have a few clothing stores and an electrical appliance store, but I can't find anyone to help deliver the goods, my uncle has driven a car, so I wonder if I can help me. ”

Li Xian wanted to give his uncle a little more money, but he was afraid of hurting his uncle's self-esteem, so he knocked on the side for a long time, and finally let his uncle understand his mind.

"Daxian, I know your ability, so let's try it at the beginning of the year and help you run a long distance. You're right, if your nephew doesn't help, who else will you help?"

The uncle smiled with relief, this nephew still cares about people's face.

After explaining the matter on the uncle's side, the second uncle and the younger uncle's side are much simpler, firstly, they have no serious jobs, and secondly, the family is also a room full of people, and they all need to eat.

Therefore, the second uncle did not hesitate to agree to continue to expand the acquisition business of mountain delicacies and agricultural products, and even prepared to bring his son along.

My uncle had read some books, trained in an electrical factory in the early years, and would simply fix the TV.

It happens that he has his own electrical appliance store, and he needs a knowledgeable person to sit in charge, and the uncle in front of him is very suitable.

The little aunt was full of support for Li Xian's decision, turned around and smiled and took out some of the same hospitality things such as melon seeds and peanuts to entertain Li Xian, and simply regarded him as a nobleman.

The uncle was also unambiguous, saying that he could try it, but he was afraid that his ability was insufficient and delayed Li Xian's big event.

After getting Li Xian's assurance, the uncle was relieved.

arranged the work of several uncles, and Li Xian also relaxed, in fact, he was selfish in it, who let several uncles always be good to him.

For the rest of the Spring Festival, Li Xian stayed at home, playing with a few younger brothers and sisters, and feeling a long-lost innocence.

There are guests at home, and Li Jinde greets him, no matter what Li Jinde says that he doesn't know how to be polite, Li Xian doesn't bother to change it, and still responds casually, except for the pillar family.

Zhuzi's mother carried several expensive cigarettes and a few bottles of packaged wine, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

"Come on, what are you doing with so many things?" Peng Lanhua greeted the pillar family and deliberately blamed.

"My pillars and bolts are thanks to Daxian, and I don't know what Daxian likes, so I had to cheapen Lao Li. ”

Zhuzi's mother quipped.

On the seventh day of junior high school, it was time for Li Xian to return to school, say goodbye to his family, and get on the shuttle bus to the county.
