Chapter 35: The Family Reunion Dinner
The decoration of the Internet café is very smooth, it is winter and it is approaching the New Year, there is no contractor team at this point in time, but under the offensive of Li Yue's money, 24 hours of drying, the second and third floors have been completed in just a few days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe first floor is still under intense construction due to higher requirements.
Stone found a total of 5 network administrators and 2 female cashiers. Counting himself, he was divided into two shifts, with 3 people in each class. With only three days to celebrate the New Year, Li Yue and everyone installed 150 computers in place.
There are not many restaurants in the small county town during the Chinese New Year, so Li Yue is not in a hurry to urge the decoration of the first floor. In the past few days of the renovation of the Internet café on the second and third floors, Li Yue has already obtained the most difficult business license in the future. After connecting to a 2M broadband, the Internet café was officially opened.
On the opening day, the number of members has reached more than 300. A one-time impulse of 40 yuan, 10 yuan free. The price for members is 2 yuan, and the price for non-members is 3 yuan. Other Internet cafes in the county are still at a high level of 5 yuan an hour at this time.
The largest of other Internet cafes in the county has only 30 computers, and the smallest is only about 10. Faced with Li Yue's 150 computers, all Internet cafes felt frightened. After all, in this era, Internet café CS is still a very popular game. A large Internet café with 150 computers, there are several CS battles going on at any time. Internet cafes are like this, the more people there are, the more people there are.
Li Yue not only brought the price to the era of 2 yuan, but also zoned the Internet café for the first time in the county. The third floor is divided into two areas, the Legend World Zone and the Girls' Zone. The middle is separated by a huge tempered glass.
Spend 100 yuan or more in the Legend World area and get a 15 yuan point card.
Spend more than 100 yuan in the girls' area and get a dining coupon worth 15 yuan. However, this will not be until the restaurant on the first floor officially opens.
In just two days, this was the hottest time for Internet cafes, and the students were on vacation. But the other Internet cafes in the county are all scattered with a few people. Li Yue's Momo Internet café is full of people, and it is all brand new machines. There is also a beauty area on the third floor, although you can't go in, it's cool enough to look outside.
On the day of the new year, Li Yue gave the two security guards a red envelope of 2,000 yuan, and let the two of them drive back to BJ in a box truck.
Chinese New Year's Eve was originally a time for the whole family to watch the Spring Festival Gala and have a reunion dinner. But the uncle's family suddenly proposed that the whole family go to their house for a reunion dinner. If the uncle didn't mention it in the afternoon, Li Yue would have forgotten about it.
There are five brothers and two sisters in my father's family. Grandma gave birth to a total of 7 children, which is very common in Li Yue's parents' generation. In that generation in China, almost every family in the countryside had three or four brothers and sisters.
Li Yue's two aunts are married, and they do not attend today's family gathering. It is a big gathering of Li Yue's uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and fifth uncle, and Li Yue's father's family.
Li Yue vaguely recalled that this was the eldest daughter of the uncle's family, who seemed to be going to study abroad, and this time not only went abroad to study, but also brought back her fiancé this time. It is also strange to say that in the years from 94 to 96, there were not a few college students in Li Yue's small county. But the children of the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle's family, all of them were admitted to the university, and they were all admitted to BJ's university, although it was not Tsinghua University and Peking University, but in this era, people said that they were admitted to BJ's university, not to mention in the village, in the whole county.
It was precisely because of this incident that Li Yue was entrusted by his father to his uncle to bring him to BJ to school. I hope to get into a good university in the future. However, compared with these uncles' families, Li Yue's family conditions are much worse. When Li Yue's grandfather died, several brothers divided the family property. Since the eldest and second and third were already married at that time, they had more points.
Speaking of Li Yue's ancestors, he was still a small landowner in the Republic of China. Although it was suppressed after the founding of the state. But before the Red Guards broke down, they did have a lot of good things hidden in the house. After that turmoil passed, the family dug up all the things they had hidden before.
After that, Li Yue heard that the uncle's family had several gold bars. Although the uncle didn't admit it, they said it when Li Yue was a child and the children of the uncle's family. Children generally don't have so much scheming, and they lie to others about their own gold bars. Li Yue really hadn't seen the gold bars of the uncle's family, but the second and third uncles had bought a house in the county seat a long time ago, and they both bought cars. In 95, when the county was still shouting 10,000 households, the three uncles all drove their own cars.
Li Yue's father and Li Yue's fifth uncle, they didn't get any property. Just a little more with a dozen sheep.
The gap between the rich and the poor has widened over the years. Several uncles also looked at Li Yue's family more and more unpleasantly. Few rich people can afford to look down on their poor relatives. They all feel that their poor relatives only have their own money in their eyes.
Li Yue remembered that in his last life, he directly lost his chopsticks at the dinner table and left. There were so many people in one family, the adults sat at one table, and the children sat at one table. When we were children, we could get into a fight if we didn't agree with each other. But when he grew up, he never fought again, only verbally ridiculed. At that time, Li Yue had been counted down by the children of several uncles. In the end, Li Yue threw away the chopsticks and left directly. At that time, Li Yue didn't understand how faceless his parents were when he left his chopsticks and left.
Those who were lost in the previous life, should they get it all back at once today? After thinking of this, Li Yue told his parents that he would go to the county seat first. When it's time to eat, go to the restaurant that the uncle has ordered. The restaurant that Uncle ordered today is currently the most expensive and best one in the county.
Li Yue came to the backyard parking lot of the hotel and drove his BMW out. Although he drove the car out, Li Yue did not go back to pick up his parents. Instead, I drove the car to the Internet café first!
At half past seven o'clock in the evening, everyone had already sat down at the Uncle Dinghao Restaurant.
"Where's Xiao Yue, why haven't you come yet?" asked after sitting down to order food, after looking at the people at the two tables.
"That's right, didn't your Xiaoyue come back from BJ this year?" the second aunt also interjected at this time, and she bit the word BJ very hard. Obviously meant something.
"I'll give him a call!" Li Yue's father took out his mobile phone in desperation and was about to dial.
"Ouch, the fourth child also bought a mobile phone at home? Didn't you just let the family be fired, don't you farm well at home, what kind of mobile phone to buy? The eldest aunt rolled her triangular eyes and said coldly.
Hearing the words of the eldest aunt, Li Yue's mother was a little displeased.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here. As soon as Li Yue's mobile phone rang twice, Li Yue pushed the door and came in.
"Let so many adults wait for you, you are uneducated!" said the third aunt while pouring tea for the eldest aunt while giving Li Yue a white look.
"You've all ordered, it's called waiting for me. Li Yue glanced at the waiter beside the uncle and shot back unceremoniously.
"Don't be embarrassed, don't you have to wait for you at the door?" Li Yue's cousin, Li Fu, the child of the second family, scolded loudly.
"Xiao Yue.. Sit down and have a good meal. Seeing what Li Yue wanted to say, Li Yue's father said loudly.
"Stay away from me, a rancid taste!" Li Yue's cousin, seeing that Li Yue wanted to be by her side, turned her face directly.
It is true that Li Yue did not wear any good clothes today, because this is in line with Li Yue's impression in everyone's hearts, poor relatives! If you don't wear poor, how can you call yourself a poor relative? But to say that there is a bad smell on your body is a bit of an exaggeration.
"No matter how bad the smell is, it's much better than the smell. Li Yue knows a lot about this cousin's black history. How many boyfriends she had, she had an abortion in her sophomore year. Relatives and friends know about it, but her parents think that no one else knows.
"Brother Yue, come and sit with me. The youngest daughter of Uncle Li Yue's family spoke out to give Li Yue a round.
"I'm getting more and more uneducated, and I don't know what you've learned in BJ?" said several cousins and cousins one by one.
Li Yue didn't bother to pay attention to them, glanced at the cousin next to him and said, "It's getting more and more beautiful!" Looking at the beautiful cousin next to her, Li Yue was full of emotion. My cousin got married when she was just 22 years old. At that time, it was the eldest aunt who was the matchmaker. And the man she introduced was the son of a section chief of the county local taxation bureau. For this marriage, several aunts ran to their cousin's house every day. In the end, for some reason, the uncle's family agreed, and the cousin dropped out of school and married the man.
However, within a few years, her husband was violent against her. On one occasion, he was even admitted to a critical care unit. hurt again and again, breaking her and her parents' hearts. When I got married, my cousin was 10,000 unwilling. It was my uncle who didn't know what kind of ideological work he had done to get married. However, watching her daughter almost die at the hands of that man. The uncle felt guilty and stabbed her husband several times with a knife. Although he was finally rescued, his uncle was sentenced to 20 years.
In this life, we must not allow such a tragedy to happen again.
The cousin is only a few months younger than Li Yue, and now she is slim and slim, and from a distance, she looks a bit like Zhang Ziyi when she first debuted. Pure, delicate, and beautiful.
"This is my mobile phone number! When you come to BJ, come to play with me!" Li Yue wrote down her mobile phone number on a piece of paper and handed it to her.
"Then you're going to treat me to something good. The cousin smiled and took the piece of paper with the phone number written on it and stuffed it into her pocket.
"He can treat you to good food, and lie to the devil! Who doesn't know that he is poor and sings on the streets. It takes so many cents to make so many cents by being embarrassed. Someone in my cousin said in a mocking voice.
"That's it, I've seen it with my own eyes. It's really a shame for our Li family. The cousin also spoke up.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, have a reunion dinner and quarrel like this, and I'm not afraid of people's jokes. "Today, the protagonist really spoke, and I wanted to bring my boyfriend to show my parents. But the parents insisted on inviting these relatives to dinner. Please just please, you have to bring Li Yue and her cousin to their house. Seeing that her boyfriend had peeked at her cousin several times, she was already very annoyed at this time. But she couldn't have a seizure, because she knew that if she had a seizure at this time, it would be her who would be embarrassed, and without this boyfriend, I'm afraid she wouldn't even think about her dream of going abroad.
