Time flies by in a flash. A few months passed like this, and during this time, Li Cai spent 100 achievement points in school to buy a bronze-level good person card, and then used it on Guan Xiaotong, and then became good friends with Guan Xiaotong. And in the dojo, Li Cai also relied on the unforgettable talent given by the system, coupled with hard training, in addition to Tan Xiao and Li Cai can win or lose each other, it can be said that he is invincible in the rushing class, and sometimes Li Cai can even "cut the teacher to the ground".

It can be said that after Li Cai used his skills, he already had professional strength, but he didn't have a professional rank. Although the 04 fixed-stage competition is still in July, it is still early, but the teachers in the dojo think that Li Cai will improve according to this level, and the fixed-stage competition should be nine out of ten.

Shangjing is located in the north of our country, and the weather is cold early, unlike the cold weather in the south.

As soon as it was early November, it began to snow in Beijing, and Li was not used to it when he first came to Beijing. As a result, I fell ill with a cold all at once.

Fortunately, it was not a serious illness and he recovered after a few days.

After the winter vacation, Li Cai did not relax his training at home to play music and solve problems every day. After all, Go only has one fixed stage tournament a year, and if you miss it, you have to wait for the next year.

Li Cai's family is in a rented house, and Li's mother is packing up her things, preparing to take Li Cai back to her hometown first. After all, during the peak period of the Spring Festival, it is difficult to buy tickets, and Dad Li will not be able to go back for a while because of things in the company.

Back in his hometown Z County, the family's house has been rented out, so Li's mother and Li Cai temporarily relied on Li's mother's sister's house, that is, Li Cai's aunt's house. Li Cai's family celebrates the New Year here in Li's mother's hometown every year, and then goes to Li's father's hometown to pay New Year's greetings.

At his aunt's house, Li and his aunt were preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Li Cai was watching cartoons with his cousin, who was two years older than him.

Li Cai hasn't watched a cartoon for a long time, and at first glance, it's full of childhood memories!

Looking at the familiar plots and funny clips on TV, Li fell into memories.

Li Cai remembered his childhood playmates, the bits and pieces they spent together, although there is almost no chance to meet now, but Li Cai still misses the original frolic, playing games together, and going to the river to touch snails and drop crayfish together.

It's a pity that things are people, not everything. Li Cai is for the sake of family affection and the safety of the family. gave up the little friends who lived together in this county.

Mencius once said, "You can't have both fish and bear's paws." ”

When Li Cai was for the sake of family affection, friendship was inevitably abandoned. After all, between family and friendship, most people would choose the former.

Li Cai sighed, shook his head, and forgot these things in his mind.

After all, the loss of oneself is just the loss of a friend, and there is nothing missing. And there will always be different people in life, and the best friends when you were a child may become strangers when you grow up.

At the same time, Li's father, who was in Beijing, also embarked on the journey home.

During the return home, Boss Xiong also asked Dad Li to stay, and his salary was five times more than usual.

It's a pity that after Dad Li finished the work and arranged it properly, he politely declined Boss Xiong's request to work overtime during the New Year.

In the station, Dad Li was moving with the sea of people with difficulty carrying large bags and small bags.

In the station, there is also a song "Always Go Home to See" at the 99 Spring Festival Gala.

Dad Li was moving with difficulty, and he was still humming this song in his mouth: "Find some free time, find some time,

Take the child and go home often.

With a smile, with wishes,

Accompany your lover and often go home to see

Mom prepared some nagging,

Dad put together a table of good dishes.

Tell your mother about the troubles of life,

Talk to dad about work.

Always go home to see, go home to see,

Even if it is to help mom brush chopsticks and wash dishes.

The elderly do not want their children to contribute much to the family

It's not easy to be reunited in a lifetime.

Always go home to see, go home to see,

Even if you rub your father's back and shoulders,

The old man doesn't want his children to contribute much to the family,

I always worry about it all my life, and I hope for peace

……

"Crackling. ”

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and every household starts to set off fireworks at 12 o'clock.

Li Cai's family and aunt's family are also setting off firecrackers.

The adults were preparing to light the fuse, while the children were far away, covering their ears with their hands, and Li Cai was no different.

In his previous life, Li Cai was bleeding from his hands because of the firecracker, so he had a shadow, and basically didn't dare to approach the firecracker.

After setting off the firecrackers, the two families returned to the warm room and began to eat the dumplings that had been wrapped long ago.

Looking at the steaming, fragrant, and hot dumplings, Li Cai swallowed his saliva.

A large dumpling was dipped in a little chili pepper and aged vinegar, and Li took a bite into it.

"Whoosh. ”

The juice in the fragrant dumplings burst out in Li Cai's mouth, Li Cai's mouth was small, and all the juice leaked out to his mouth.

After eating dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, my aunt gave Li Cai a red envelope, and Li's mother also gave her cousin a red envelope, and then went to sleep one after another.

In bed, Li Cai fell asleep peacefully, this was the most solid night Li Cai slept after returning from rebirth.

The next day, after saying goodbye to his aunt's family, Li Cai's family went to Li's father's hometown to pay New Year's greetings.

Li's father's hometown is a county near Z County, called L County, which is famous for its firecrackers.

And Dad Li's father, Grandpa Li is a person with serious feudal thoughts, and he can't help but favor sons over daughters, and he agrees with having more sons and more blessings.

gave birth to five children, because two girls were born in the front, so, in order to give birth to boys, the family tightened their belts and gave birth to two.

As for Li Cai's uncle, the youngest son continued to give birth after Grandpa Li became rich as a contract foreman.

Therefore, Li's father's big family has a large population, and Li Cai ranks eighth among the younger generations of this family, and only one of the daughters of the little uncle and a son born a few years later are behind Li Cai.

Originally, according to family planning, Li Cai's generation was basically an only child, and only two children could be raised in rural areas.

But under the influence of Grandpa Li, the aunt is also a patriarchal person, in order to give birth to a son, four girls were born in the front, and the fifth was a boy.

And for this matter, Grandpa Li actually left a lot of relationships to help his aunt, and also fined a lot of money.

Fortunately, in the county town in the county, Grandpa Li has a wide range of connections, and the government is not strict in investigation, so this matter has passed.

And the second aunt was sick and couldn't have children, so she had to succeed a girl in the eldest aunt's family.

As for the uncle's family, the first child is a girl. Fortunately, the second child was a boy. There is no overbirth, and there is no fine.

As for the uncle, now working hard in Shenzhen, he is already a city hukou, but in 10 years, in order to give birth to a second child, he also got it

Ma Hong Kong went to give birth and raised, and got a Ma Hong Kong account for the birth of the little cousin, although he was fined more than 100,000 yuan later, he still gave birth to a second child and raised a boy.

Only Li's father's family gave birth to a boy in the first child, that is, after Li Cai was born, he did not give birth.

Thinking of this, Li Cai sighed and felt that after he arrived, he would really give birth to a daughter.

In the later life, if the man wants to marry a daughter-in-law, the bride price, the house and so on will cost tens of millions of dollars, and the woman basically does not want to pay anything.

It can be said that there are many single boys in later generations, it's not that they don't want to get married, they can't afford to get married!

Li Cai shook his head, not thinking about the future.

Anyway, the future has changed, and I won't be single until death like in my previous life.

Every year during the festival, I come to my uncle's house, because the house is big enough for dozens of people to live. A big family is together, so it's not lively.

When I came to the uncle's house, the door was open, and there was laughter inside.

When Li Cai's family walked in, they saw a man who looked similar to Li's father coming over, and greeted him from afar.

"Happy New Year!"

After greeting each other, the uncle gave Li Cai a red envelope, and after asking Li Cai's family to enter the house and sit, they went outside to set off firecrackers.

The custom of L County is that whenever a guest comes, a whip is put to welcome and signal that the guest is coming.

And in the hometown of firecrackers, the most important thing is firecrackers, and basically every household has many fireworks and firecrackers.

Entering the hall, there were a large number of people sitting in the living room, and I saw Dad Li coming over with his family.

The men were chatting about what had happened this year, while the women were talking about their home routines, what clothes were nice and so on, and the children were eating, drinking, and having fun.

As for Li Cai, he followed his aunt's cousin Zhou Siliang to play Xiaobawang.

In 04, the uncle did not have a computer at home, and the mobile phone could only make calls and send text messages, unlike the emergence of smart phones in later generations, which could be used to play games and watch videos, and it was enough to have a mobile phone.

Li Cai held the handle and played the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game with his cousin Zhou Siliang, although Li Cai has not played the handle for a long time, but he practices chess every day, and his reaction ability can be said to be superhuman.

At dinner, there is a table for adults and a table for children. Grandpa Li sat on the main seat, and waited for Grandpa Li to move the chopsticks first, and then everyone began to eat with chopsticks.

After dinner, the family was in the living room, and Dad Li, because he worked in a real estate company, was like Grandpa Li learning from experience, please ask some related things.

After listening to Li's father, he gave up his stable job in Z County and asked Li Cai to go to Beijing to learn chess.

The aunt felt very puzzled, thinking that Li's father gave up the opportunity to be the boss of others in Z County, just to let Li have a good environment for learning chess, so he went to work in Shangjing, but there was no house in Shangjing, and the consumption level in Shangjing was high, so he felt that it was not worth it.

And Grandpa Li is very happy about his second son's choice and agrees.

Because at the beginning, he just thought that his children were talented in any aspect, and he tried to help them have a good learning environment.

Of course, the most important point is that Lee is the boy.

If it's a girl, hehe, there won't be such a thing at all, just learn a little bit casually, and find a good family to marry in the future.

After Grandpa Li taught Dad Li some things about real estate, he went to ask Li Cai.

Because the uncle's son has not yet been born, Li is the youngest grandson.

And generally the most loved at home is the youngest child, and Grandpa Li's favorite ones are Uncle and Li Cai.

Therefore, I am very concerned about whether Li Cai is used to living in Beijing, whether he is full of food and warm clothes.

And Li's father, who was left aside, followed his younger brother, Li Cai's uncle Li Dongxing, to talk.

Li Cai's uncle, Li Dongxing, is an economically minded person.

After listening to the matter of Li's father's real estate company, he said that he could invest hundreds of thousands, and asked Li's father to open a company and start a business by himself to be the boss.

Li Dongxing understands that his second brother is a capable person, although he is silent and asks for comfort to live a life, not the material to be a boss, but he knows that Mama Li is a capable person, and with Mama Li's help, there must be no problem.

Dad Li just said that he wouldn't talk about it after thinking about it.

Li Dongxing could only sigh, not talking about work, just chatting about family life.

After the New Year's greetings, after all the relatives had gone, Li Cai's family of three was ready to go back to Beijing.

After all, Li Cai also has to go back to the dojo to play chess, and Li's father has to go back to the company to work.

In this way, Li Cai's family stepped on the train back to Beijing.
