Everyone has been getting along for more than half a year, and the people in Hong Tao's family are at least familiar with each other, although it is still a little unnatural, but there are many companions, and they are accompanied by Aunt Xiao and Sister Da Ling, and they are not so life in Hong Tao's grandmother's house. If you don't want to stay in the big house, you can squeeze into the aunt's room to talk about those girls, and you can hear the chatter behind closed doors.

Mother and aunt, grandmother, and aunt cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen together, and this year's grandmother's Chinese New Year's Eve meal has been upgraded to a new level, not only pork, but also with fish, ham, foreign sausages and a large steak. In addition to these ingredients, he also bought 2 bottles of Moutai, 2 bottles of red wine, half a dozen colas, a lot of various candies and chocolates, and finally several boxes of foreign pastries.

The things in front are for the New Year at home, those boxes of pastries are specially prepared by Hong Tao for his parents and uncles, they also have to go to the leaders, colleagues or something to greet the New Year, with these high-end pastries there is no need to buy gifts, this thing is easy to bring and face, with a water of foreign letters, the packaging is also exquisite.

In addition, Hong Tao also bought 8 chickens in suits (slaughtered chickens packaged in plastic bags), which have been given to each of the neighbors in the yard through his grandmother's hands, which is a gift for the New Year. For these 8 chickens, the old lady can be regarded as chatting with her grandfather for several days, she is distressed, she has just eaten some meat in the past two years, and she has sent things out so lavishly, this is not a loser.

As for where these things came from, only the grandmother, the uncle, the aunt's family and Hong Tao's parents really thought that the grandfather got them. The rest of the people knew in their hearts that this was brought by Hong Tao under the banner of his grandfather, but everyone had a tacit understanding. I know in my heart, but I don't say it, anyway, as long as the old man doesn't say anything, no one will pretend not to know.

Different from the people in later generations, the older generation of Beijing people like to have children and grandchildren full of children and grandchildren during the New Year, the more people the better, not afraid of chaos, afraid of chaos. They think that more people means that life at home is prosperous. It's a good sign, so for the sudden addition of 4 girls who are not from their own family to celebrate the New Year together, the old man and the old lady have no objection at all. According to the old man, a few more people are nothing, isn't it just a matter of a few more pairs of chopsticks.

When there are many people and there is a lot of activity, it is easy to have accidents, this is Hong Tao's experience. But he didn't stop him. also encouraged these 4 girls to recognize their grandpa and grandma as godparents. Not only do you have to kneel on the ground and kowtow, but you also have to toast your grandfather, and it has to be liquor, a small glass per person, and whoever doesn't drink it looks down on your grandfather and grandma.

At this time, there were so many words in Hong Tao's stomach to persuade him to drink, and the four big girls made him have to drink his words one by one, so he grinned and closed his eyes and dried all the wine in the wine glass like an execution ground, and then covered his mouth and coughed. Here, Hong Tao and his uncle are patting their thighs. It can be regarded as letting Hong Tao avenge the confession of being tortured and interrogated in the afternoon.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was not finished until more than 9 o'clock, and my father's amount of wine had long been poured down by Hong Tao. As soon as I finished eating, I asked my mother to send her home to sleep. A few girls dragged the two girls of the aunt's family to the aunt's house to play cards, the uncle took the two boys of the aunt's family out to set off firecrackers, and the grandmother, aunt and uncle made dumplings in the kitchen, ready to eat boiled dumplings after 12 o'clock at night, and Hong Tao, the aunt and the grandfather were left in the house.

"Grandpa, aunt, today is the end of the year, according to what we said in advance, it is time to settle the account, this is the profit of the past few months of this year, all according to the shares, I asked my aunt to take the account book for you to open an account, the money is deposited in the passbook, you can see for yourself, if there is any problem, when the aunt is fine in two days, let her take the account book, and you will understand at a glance. Hong Tao saw that there was no one else in the house, and took out three passbooks from his arms, two of which were handed to his grandfather, and one to his aunt.

“…… Guangxing ...... Help me see, how much is this?" Grandpa turned on the light and opened a passbook, looked left and right to see that he didn't understand, and handed it to the aunt next to him.

"Seven thousand seven hundred and eight dollars! "My aunt was smoking, and I didn't have time to look at my passbook.

"So much? This should be written in Yumei's name, it is the money earned by the child, and my mother and I don't want any of it, all of it will be given to her as a dowry. Grandpa thought that Hong Tao had written it wrong, and patted the passbook and said to Hong Tao.

"Dad, let's take a look at another fold, Xiao Tao, this amount of money can't be mistaken, right?" The eldest aunt also opened the passbook in his hand at this time, and then lowered his voice several points, but his tone was stern.

"Well, these are all calculated, do you think it's too much or too little?" Hong Tao watched his aunt smoke cigarettes, and his mouth was itching, but unfortunately he couldn't smoke at a young age.

"What's the matter? How much is this! More than 10,000! This is Yumei's?" Grandpa also opened another passbook at this time, so frightened that the old man almost threw away the teapot.

"That's how my aunt calculates, you are 2 percent, and my aunt and I are 4 percent, so the money on my aunt's book is twice as much as yours; Grandpa, I have to help me hide this passbook, if my dad knows, he will have a heart attack, it is estimated that he can't sleep every day, his courage is too small, you are tired. Hong Tao probably calculated the account, and then took out a passbook with his grandfather's name written on it from his arms, which was the one he used to save his bicycle before.

"Hey, you deserve to be your father's son, just afraid that your father will have a heart attack, aren't you afraid of making grandpa's heart sick? Your dad can't sleep, grandpa and I can sleep? This money is too much, it's a little hot, Guangxing, what do you say?" Grandpa finally didn't calm down, now the three passbooks in his hand, together there are more than 70,000 yuan, even if the old man's heart is wide, he is a little unsure.

"Hehehe...... I thought that it would not be less for me to make some money by reversing my bicycle in a year, and my feelings were not as much as a fraction of that of Daling, and the way of the world has really changed! Dad, if you are afraid, give me all the money, I am not afraid, tomorrow I will go home and eat meat and drink Moutai every day! I don't believe it, if you don't steal or rob to make money, you can still arrest me?"

"Pull you down, it's not your turn to catch you, I'm not dead yet! Oh, you said that I lived in this life, and when I was old, I still got my grandson's plan, this can be regarded as my last life's accumulation of virtue, right?" The old man also stimulated the money, and became chattering.

"Dad, we're all accumulating virtues, let's put it away quickly, let my mother see it in a while, and don't scare her old man directly to the hospital...... Bah, bah, my mouth is also a little scoopy, and I said this during the New Year. The aunt trembled and put the passbook into his pocket, and then he was not at ease, so he patted the outside of his clothes with his hand, and after feeling the deposit of the passbook, he took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

"Hey...... All right...... I'll enjoy a few days of happiness, hahahaha, in two years, as soon as Shiming graduates, I will apply for retirement and let him take over my class, and stop working! I'm tired of it! I'm raising crickets at home with my little grandson, right!" Grandpa gradually eased from his consternation, and began to think about his future arrangements, according to his understanding, with this money, even if the whole family doesn't work, they can eat and drink.

"Auntie, grandpa, don't be busy with the money just yet, I still have something to discuss with you. In fact, the past few months of this year are not really making money, don't forget, we are two stores, and it is really not much to earn tens of thousands of dollars a year. And now we are the only one, no one competes with us, it is naturally easy to make money, and when everyone sees that we are doing this to make money, I guess it will not be so easy to make money. So I plan to make these two stores bigger before others can react, so that even if other people learn from us, they won't be able to fight us when the time comes, what do you say?" Hong Tao didn't have anything to be particularly happy about, this money or this beginning is still far from his goal, in order to keep himself and his family safe and secure in the future, he must grasp the first few steps.

"How big can it be?" Grandpa couldn't imagine what kind of head his grandson had, tens of thousands of yuan in hand, and he didn't seem to be satisfied with what he meant.

"Dad, I think what Xiao Tao said is reasonable, those who sell eggs know how to occupy a good place and then build a shed or something, it is better than those who carry baskets around the street to sell and buy, but how to make it big, your uncle-in-law and I are also laymen, or you just say it directly, what you say, how do your uncle-in-law do it, ask for people, ask for money!" The eldest aunt is now more confident, if the money he saved for the bicycle in the past gave him a little sweetness, then this time the money in Sister Daling's passbook is a sugar jar, and he is already addicted.

"After the fifth day of the new year, you bring something to see the director of the street, ask him if he can rent the yard behind the store to us again, and we will build the house at our own expense, so that the area of the store can be expanded a lot, I see, if you can give us more space, you can also double the business area." Hong Tao began to give ideas to his aunt.

"Oh, it's easy to do, even if you don't say it, I'll have to go on a run in a few days, he promised me the contract you said a few years ago, and he just told him all about it. "The eldest aunt didn't think it was difficult. (To be continued!)
