Chapter Twenty-Three: A Child Has Grown Up in the Family
After taking care of the façade and computer of the Internet café, Gu Bei completely relaxed.
As the year approaches, he made a year-end summary in a special cliché, looking back on the rebirth to the present for more than half a year, the proudest thing is to change the family situation so that the parents can reappear on their faces; the happiest thing is to find one-half of his heart, Nono; the happiest thing is to save Cai Wei from the hands of death, watching this girl continue to ride the dust, amazing herself, amazing time, all in all, he did not become the master of the gods every day, but he has also made a little achievement. Well, strive to work harder in the coming year, and I won't thank ChinaTV and CCAV here.
After struggling for more than half a year, you should always treat yourself.
On the day of the New Year, Gu Bei accompanied his mother to the street to buy New Year's goods, all kinds of food, drink, and wear, not to mention the most expensive, at least the best in the shopping mall, in addition, the household appliances and furniture at home are all antiques in the early 90s, so they should all be replaced with new ones, air conditioners, color TVs, sofas, refrigerators, stereos, desktop computers, all the same.
I have to say that as soon as there are more than one person, there will be a commotion.
Gu Bei spent money like running water, and Gu's mother was shocked when she saw it, saying that don't buy this, it's too expensive! Don't buy that, it's too wasteful! There are old ones at home that can still be used.
Gu Bei put his arm around Gu's mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, look at this Skyworth color TV with more than 3,000 yuan, if I don't give you a penny, are you happy?"
"Of course it's happy. ”
"That's enough, for me, as long as you're happy, three thousand dollars is 0. ”
Gu's mother was speechless, she once again strongly felt Gu Bei's growth, her son has grown up and is sensible, and he is no longer the bastard who needs his parents to worry about, and he no longer needs the protection of his parents. Thinking like this, Li Yuling was happy and relieved, and there was a faint sense of loss.
There were too many New Year's goods, and when the merchant drove to carry the New Year's goods, the neighbors of the nearby cigarette factory were surprised: "Yuling, have you bought so many New Year's goods this year?"
"It was bought by Gu Bei, this kid loves decency, I can't persuade him. ”
"Yuling, you have raised a good son, you can make a lot of money in college, the key is to be so filial and sensible, I heard that your family is going to open a large Internet café, two hundred machines, good guy, this has to be hundreds of thousands, it's all Gu Bei's money, right?"
"Can it be, his father and I can't come up with so much money, Gu Bei, this kid has a big heart, and said that if he wants to do it, he will build the largest Internet café in Shilin City, more than 200 computers, and nearly one million start-up funds, all of which are taken by Gu Bei. When she said this, the pride and joy on Gu's mother's face couldn't be hidden, but the neighbors were stunned, they were a little envious in their hearts, but they were not jealous, over the years, although the Gu family was in a very poor situation, Gu's father and Gu's parents treated the neighbors well, and they started to help the Gu family move the New Year's goods upstairs.
Gu's mother put dozens of candy snacks for dozens of yuan a catty, burned tea and treated them warmly, and by the way, she publicized her son's glorious deeds of running a magazine and a company in the university "low-key and modest", and even refused to let go of Gu Bei's deeds of giving her 500,000 pocket money, and then in the next few days, Gu Bei became famous in the cigarette factory.
This is not the hypocrisy of Gu's mother, every mother in this world is like this, hoping that her son has the ability, and also wants everyone to know that their son has the ability. Gu Bei understands his mother, who has suffered too much over the years, and now, it is time for her to be proud of herself and enjoy the joy of life.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
Gu's mother knew that she knew that her second uncle Li Guohua's family had not prepared any New Year's goods, or that there was no money to prepare, and such a year would definitely not be good, so on Chinese New Year's Eve, she called her second uncle Li Guohua's family of three to their home to celebrate the New Year together.
At the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve every year, my father can't shake the spoon.
Gu Bei gave his father a hand, Gu's mother and second aunt Yu Feng and Li Jin made dumplings, and the second uncle Li Guohua sat by the fire to watch the warm-up program before the Spring Festival Gala.
When the reunion dinner was about to be ready, Gu Chengming asked Gu Bei to go downstairs and set off firecrackers. Other provinces don't know, but this is the tradition of Shilin City for the New Year, before eating Chinese New Year's Eve, a firecracker should be released, called farewell; and a firecracker will come again if it is not lit on the day of the new year, which is called welcoming the new. Combining it is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, hoping that the new year will have a good omen.
In the past, this kind of grand firecracker ceremony was not Gu Bei's turn, but now it is different, the family has grown up, and this task is glorious in the hands of Gu Bei, Gu Bei carried a firecracker of 5,000 rings downstairs, lit it at the entrance of the stairwell, crackled, it was a resignation, and the new year was about to be ushered in.
Unlike other people's children, what Gu Bei was most afraid of in the past was the New Year, red envelopes were not to be considered, new clothes were rarely bought, and what hit his self-esteem even more was that every time on Chinese New Year's Eve, when it was time for thousands of families to reunite around the fire to watch the Spring Festival Gala, his father and mother would be worried and wait for countless creditors to come to collect debts.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve no longer has to be frightened, on the contrary, it is happy, when eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the head of the family, Gu Chengming, took the wine glass and said with a smile: "I have experienced a lot of things over the years, but now the bitterness is coming, and I will not seek any wealth and nobility in the future, that is, in the new year, the whole family will be safe." ”
Everyone picked up the wine glass and drank it all, the wine was the home-brewed plum wine of the hometown, the taste was rich and sweet, but it did not choke the throat, Gu Bei and his father drank together, and the second uncle Li Guohua couldn't drink, so he took a glass of warm boiled water and said to Gu Bei: "Nephew, uncle toasts you." ”
"Yes, I respect you. Gu Bei hurriedly stood up with a wine glass.
"Eh, I respect you for this cup, my uncle is not in good health, he can't drink, he can only drink this thing, and when his health is better, let's have a few more drinks, in short, I won't say more, I am happy to see you so promising, uncle! What is even happier is that you are so sensible, not only helping the family but also pulling my waste back from the ghost gate." ”
If it weren't for Gu Bei, Li Guohua would not have been able to have a kidney transplant, it can be said that Gu Bei has changed the fate of the family, and even from a certain point of view, Gu Bei, who is only 18 years old, has become the backbone of the family.
When the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was almost finished, Dad Gu took out two big red envelopes from his pocket and handed one of them to Li Jin: "Xiao Jin, you are a good boy, you will take the college entrance examination in half a year, now your father has undergone surgery and his body will get better, put his mind on studying, and strive to get a good university." ”
Li Jin took the red envelope, and she filled a glass of wine without dripping wine: "Uncle, I wish you good health in the new year." ”
"Good. Gu's father smiled and drank the wine, and handed another red envelope to Gu Bei: "The money in this red envelope is earned by you, Dad is cheeky to give you a red envelope, ask for a lottery, you are already sensible, I just hope that you don't care about running a magazine or starting a company, you can't waste your studies, your parents in Qingchuan can't take care of you, pay attention to your body." ”
