The moonlight was cold, sprinkled like frost on a field of pavilions.

A gust of night wind blows, the bamboo bushes between the pavilions and pavilions sway, and the yellow leaves fly, which looks a little weird against the background of the snow-white light. If it weren't for the loud crowds in the hall and the laughter of naughty children in the courtyard, this pavilion would be more like the scene in a ghost movie than the ancestral hall of a family.

It's the New Year, and eating a reunion dinner with the ancestors and Bodhisattvas is the rule in the mountains. In the past, everyone had no conditions, and every family gave incense to their ancestors, and then had a New Year's dinner in the hall. Now that the economic conditions are good, the ancient customs have been inherited, and the Yinzitan Youjia has set up dozens of tables in recent years, from outside the ancestral hall to the open space outside, and the picture is a lively one.

The same is true of the Li family in Huangniping, since this ancestral hall was repaired, the Chinese New Year's Eve must have a reunion dinner in the ancestral hall. The weather was a little colder, but the door was closed, a few more braziers were built, and the ancestral hall was as warm as spring.

It's just that Deng Hao's family, who used to have New Year's dinner here, was not there, and they returned to eastern Guangdong after the New Year; Huang Guoqing's family was not there, and they also left after the New Year. The two families probably won't come to the New Year's dinner again in the future, which makes the second aunt a little difficult to let go.

In fact, this is also a good thing, men should support the door, what does it look like to shrink in Yue's house for the New Year?

As in previous years, the chief of the long house led everyone to offer incense, toast, and rice to the ancestors, and then sat down to eat according to the respect of the eldest and youngest. The ancestors are on top, and no matter how big the elders are, they are also descendants of later generations, and they are not qualified to let the juniors toast, so the uncles who like to drink a few glasses pour themselves drinks.

After eating, the sisters-in-law took the children to clean up, and the men went to the wing room to drink tea, reconcile accounts, and keep the New Year's Eve by the way. The ancestral hall of the Li family is large, and the upstairs is used as a cram school for the children in the village, and the wings downstairs are decorated with antique colors, which is convenient for entertaining guests when there are red and white ceremonies.

The last time my uncle went to the United States to attend the graduation ceremony of his fourth brother, I saw a fireplace in his house, and I thought it was beautiful and comfortable. After returning, after the uncle's comparison, several uncles who were born as masons also made fireplaces in the wing room of the ancestral hall. The effect is very good, not only warm and magnificent, it is estimated that after the New Year, the seven small western-style buildings will also be installed.

The men were talking about business, and the women were cleaning up and sitting in the opposite room chatting, letting the children run around.

The family is big, the culture and background of this group of women are different, and the aunts can still talk together, how can Qiao Qiao and her concubines talk together? And she also thinks that the concubines are cheesy, and they are all showing off their husbands in and out of words, or hating their husbands, such as Yang Lili, who wears gold and silver, always complains that the big dog can't read and has no culture, but she doesn't want to marry her and have a daughter if he can read? and the servility in their bones, which also makes it difficult for Qiao Qiao to get along with them, which leader values and appreciates their husbands when they open and close their mouths, as if any leader is their husband's master.

didn't talk much, You Xiaohong, who was sitting on the side knitting a sweater, admired Qiao Qiao very much. The deputy county magistrate of the Standing Committee is also a great official in this mountain, but he can return home without a trace of officialdom, and he speaks softly. But Qiao Qiao couldn't figure it out, such a restrained and leading woman, knowing that the old man and the young man had different ideas, why did she still spread that kind of gossip?

Can't figure it out.

After drinking a cup of tea, there was a sound of an engine on the road, and Qiao Qiao, who loved cars, knew that it was an off-road vehicle when he heard it, and it should be the kind of pickup truck produced in Jiangxi Province. Within two minutes, I heard footsteps outside, and I didn't have to guess that Li Xiaolan was coming. Yang Lili, who was complaining that the big dog was not, immediately closed her mouth as soon as she heard the familiar footsteps. This sister-in-law is not easy to mess with, even the most promising hairy person in the big room is afraid of her, if she hears herself talking about the big dog, she has to be scolded.

Speaking of which, she is not dissatisfied with the big dog, it is true that she is rude and likes to fight, but the money she earns is taken home, and she does not gamble or prostitute. She said those words just to stammer the two sisters-in-law, and the two cousins who were big officials would take care of the big dog more in the future.

Li Xiaolan, who had just finished eating the New Year's dinner at her house, did not come in, and went straight to the room where her uncles were discussing. There is definitely no right to speak, but there must be the right to know, seeing that Jiaming's hundreds of millions of dollars are going to be invested in the factory, how can she not care about it?

Of course, the two brothers, Mao Ling and Mao Ling, who sent her, also went straight to the aunts to pat themselves.

The rough Li Xiaolan entered the warm wing, lifted up the thin dog sitting by the fireplace, and sat down next to Mao Yan who was drinking tea. The thin dog who was picked up had to find another stool, and he didn't dare to provoke any of the two eldest sisters in this house.

"Xiaolan, I will open a new factory next year, and I will not pay dividends this year, do you know?"

"Oh"

"As Jia Ming said just now, they are all outside, and they can't be taken care of in the house. The money he lent this time is lent to everyone without discounting the shares, and you and the military and the big dog have three other shares, do you have any opinions?"

Li Xiaolan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay, is there anything to talk about?"

After Li Chuanjian, who was in charge of the accounts, finished the report, he put the account books away, and the routine accounting was over. As for how the factory and the company are operated, it is Li Chuanlin's business, as long as Li Chuanjian, who manages the accounts for everyone, a financial statement is given every month.

Seeing that the uncles had finished speaking, Li Jiaming, who had drunk two glasses of wine in the evening, also wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the family foundation.

There are no three generations, and the family has 10,000 years, this is an ancient precept.

Originally, last year, Li Jiaming wanted to set up a family foundation, but the eldest brother and second brother who worked outside did not come back, and his father was not very happy, so he had to give up. Now that the men are here, and his father has turned the corner, then discuss the matter in front of his ancestors.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Jiaming turned his head, Uncle Chuanmeng, who was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, waved his hand and interrupted.

"Jiaming, we all know your kindness, but we can't do it. If you lend money to everyone to build a company, everyone will miss your love, which is really not good. The children are divided into families, the trees are bifurcated, and each person's offspring is his own, how can there be any reason for you to support him?"

"Uncle Chuanmeng, not support, I mean".

Halfway through the words, Li Jiaming suddenly understood that no matter how he explained, the essence of the family fund was to support his brothers and grandchildren. Uncles can borrow their own money to do business, but it is absolutely impossible for them to help them support their descendants, because it is a matter of men's face.

Li Jiayi, who was sitting behind Li Chuanjian, hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Uncle Chuanmeng, if this is not the case, we will contribute a sum of money from each household to jointly set up a foundation? No one can see what will happen in a few decades or hundreds of years, and having such a foundation will always give future generations more protection." ”

It seems to make sense, but Li Xiaolan, who had just sat down for less than two minutes, stabbed the big dog, and the stunned person immediately threw a sentence over.

"yes, uncles, if you want to agree, you agree, my cub girl doesn't. I have the light of my family, because I am a brother to him, and my children and grandchildren are not so close to him. ”

Idiot!

Brother Li Jiaren was very dissatisfied, in the past 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, who can see clearly how things have changed?

"Mao Yan, do you think what I said is reasonable?"

Reasonable, Mao Tong also thinks it is reasonable, but he still stands on the side of the big dog.

"Brother Jiaren, I think what the big dog said is also reasonable, it's okay to touch the light of the brothers, but you can't let the children and grandchildren also touch the light. I also told Sister Gui two days ago that when our two siblings pass away in the future, the property will not be left to our children, and a family fund will be established to take care of our siblings' children and grandchildren.

If they are angry, the Foundation will help them start a business, and if they are not angry, they will not starve to death. If you leave too much money for your children, it is purely harmful to them. ”

What this brother wanted, the big dog slapped his brother on the shoulder, and said to his own brother: "Thin dog, why don't we two brothers also have one? ”

"If you don't come, you can suffer, and your sister-in-law can suffer?"

"If you don't come, big sister, our money is about the same, why don't we get one?"

"Idiot, Mao Cub's surname is Wang!"

The four sisters and brothers made a fuss, and the unwilling Li Jiaren brothers looked at Li Jiaming, but he was embarrassed. What everyone thinks in their hearts, he knows very well in his heart that the uncles can't afford to lose that face, and the three brothers of the big dog and the brother of the army who don't squeak are really unwilling.

Mao Tong's business is very big, especially the game website he co-founded with Xigou and Long Yan, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a daily gold fight. This guy is also a benevolent person, pulling their brothers and sisters in that room, and his economic strength is definitely not as good as his own, but it is much stronger than his uncle's room. The eldest brother said that he would give a sum of money to each household, but it was impossible for that money to lie in the bank, and it was not for him to be invested? Who should he invest? It was not him, and he had no problem helping the third and fourth brothers; but it was impossible for him to help the eldest brother and the second brother who had been at odds since childhood.

Moreover, even if he took the initiative to take the investment, Mao Tong and the thin dog would still not agree. If he was willing to touch his own light, he would not have opened an Internet café in the first place and made money, and immediately came to him to divide the equity. It's the same with the fine dog, the shares he gave him will be taken first, but as soon as the game site he participated in is successful, he will give the shares he gave him to his sisters as a dowry, and he doesn't want to rely on himself instead of his brother?

His ten years of devotion to them have made these two guys learn to be self-reliant and self-reliant. Unless they are forced to do so, these two brothers will never want to become vassals of others, even if this 'other' is their own brother.

Then forget it, the brothers in the big house don't participate, and it's not interesting for the foundation to do it, Li Jiaming had to say helplessly: "Forget it, I haven't talked about it." ”

The Li Jiaren brothers had no choice but to give up, seeing that an opportunity to benefit their children was gone.

Seeing that the two brothers were upset, Li Xiaolan, who had beaten them before, felt happy, got up and said, "It's okay, Jiaming, I have something to do with you." ”

"Speak"

"Go out and speak".

What good can she do if she finds herself? Li Jiaming hurriedly gagged her mouth and said: "Let's talk about it first, you can't do anything about me, and it will be unfair to others to let you invest."

"Fart! I have a lot of money, so I won't go to Zhonghua and Mao Tong? Didn't I talk about you, you don't bring your own people to get rich, but take outsiders to get rich all day long?"

It seemed that it should be something else, Li Jiaming got up with a smile, and stabbed himself a few words by this cousin. Dare to say that among her brothers and sisters, now only she and her eldest sister are left, and even Aunt Hongying is a little in awe of herself.
