Chapter 52: Remembering the Past and Leaving Nothing.
Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, each phase and gift are called "giving the year"; wine and food are invited, called "farewell year"; the elders and children gather to drink, and the blessings are complete, which is called "dividing the year"; everyone sleeps all night to wait for the dawn, which is called "keeping the year". The Gao family sent a letter early to ask Gao Li to go home for the New Year. However, Gao Li is not very interested, after all, there is a lot of friction, and it is easy to be embarrassed to meet, so it is better not to go back to his hometown.
Although Li Zhuang is small, it is also my own property. Although the Gao family is big, it is not my family, this year Gao Li decided to spend the New Year in Zhuangzi, this year, to be different!
On Chinese New Year's Eve, more than 100 people from Lizhuang gathered in the small square in the village. A huge bonfire was lit in the middle, and it was dead wood that the bull demons had brought from the forest. Anyone who has talent can perform for everyone.
The bull demons drank coolly, compared to wrestling. The spider demons will dance a thousand hands dance, and even Ling Long will dance a sword to add to the fun. When he arrived in Gaoli, he didn't know what to do. As an otaku, he has little to offer to play. But the people around him were coaxing, and Ling Long also looked at him. He thought about it and suddenly thought of a song.
'Nothing'
I used to ask a lot of questions
When are you going to come with me
But you always laugh at me
Nothing
I'm going to give you my quest
And my freedom
But you always laugh at me
Nothing
Oh...... When are you going to come with me
Oh...... When are you going to come with me
......
......
Gao Li found a drum and shouted the song at the same time as he beat it.
Cui Jian's song has accompanied Gao Li through countless days and nights of typing code, always reminding himself that he is a poor man and spurring him to start a business. It's a pity that the middle way collapsed before the business was started and came to this world. As a result, he started his business again, and at this time he sang the song 'Nothing', full of sentimentality and love, and Gao Li actually sang and cried.
Seeing Gao Li crying, the iron hoof slapped him on the shoulder: "Little brother, my brother doesn't know what bitterness you have in your heart, and I can't speak, come, my brother will drink with you!"
Ling Long looked at Gao Li's appearance, and she felt that she couldn't understand the person in front of her anymore. He looked as if he was from another world......
Gao Li was really drunk, he couldn't remember how many times he vomited, and finally he was slapped by the iron hoof and knocked out, so he stopped. Early in the morning, Gao Li woke up with a splitting headache. I didn't have much energy, so I decided to skip the training.
From the beginning of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day, the city was very lively, and Gao Li decisively stopped all the work in the workshop, gave everyone a holiday, and let them play. And Gao Li himself nested under the porch, wrapped in a blanket and basking in the sun, and lived the life of a retired veteran cadre in advance - walking birds and watching the sun.
Ling Long walked over, handed Gao Li a plate of snacks, and said, "Aren't you going to pay New Year's greetings?"
Gao Li said: "Don't go, it's a year from the first month, and it's okay to go tomorrow." ”
Ling Long said, "Why don't you go home and take a look?"
Gao Li said: "There are many Gao family members today, and I have to greet people when I look at them, and I will go to my father to pay New Year's greetings in two days." ”
"Then are you planning to be lazy here today?" Ling Long asked.
"No. Gao Li came out of the blanket, "I need to go see my mother." ”
In this world, Gao Li's mother died early, and Gao Li didn't get much maternal love, but in the depths of Gao Li's memory, his mother is still an amiable and respectable person.
Without snacks, without garlands, and empty-handed, Gao Li found the lonely grave at the foot of the mountain.
Although Gao Li was born, Gao Li's mother still could not be buried in the ancestral grave of the Gao family. The reason is very simple, just because the wives outside the senior staff are obstructing it.
However, Gao Li had no intention of retaliating, he didn't want to make his crossing into a house fight, because it would be too unchallenging. What's more, the deceased is gone. The best tribute to the deceased is to live well.
After staying here for a while, Gao Li was about to leave. From a distance, I saw a few people appearing, and the person at the head was the head of the Gao family.
Since Gao Li left the Gao family a few months ago, he has not seen Gao Yuanwai again.
Seeing Gao Li, it is not surprising that Gao Li is outside, because Gao Li will be here at this time every year. The senior officer ordered the people around him to wait in the distance, and he walked alone with a food box.
"Father. Gao Li saluted.
Gao Yuanwai pulled up Gao Li and asked softly, "I heard that you and Wu Youcai have walked together?"
Gao Li smiled: "I can't hide it from my father." ”
Gao Yuanwai sighed, opened the food box, and laid out the dim sum and fruit bowl inside.
"Then Wu Youcai is the human spirit, the human essence among the human spirits. When dealing with him, you have to be 10,000 careful, 10,000 pay attention. Don't take him seriously just because you have a jade-faced ghost to support you and make friends with the princess mentor. Gao Yuanwai whispered.
"Rest assured, father, I should be cautious. Gao Li said.
"Is the money enough?" asked the senior officer.
"Enough. Gao Li said.
"Those few houses, and your uncles watch closely, I don't have much money at my disposal, but if there is an emergency and the turnover cannot be opened, I will give it to you, don't go to loan sharks. Gao Yuanwai said.
"Yes, father. Gao Li said.
"And ...... I know you've changed a lot recently, but if you practice that kung fu, it's a hidden danger after all, if you really can't help it, go to the Qinglou, don't make trouble. Those few rooms are coveting Li Zhuang and your property, and some people even think that I have paved the way for you. Ay...... A bunch of fools, the Gao family, are really going to be defeated in their hands. ”
Outside of his ranks, he is not a strong father. The Gao family's business is becoming less and less good, and his wife family is huge and has a lot of financial support, so he can't raise his head when he comes and goes. But even so, Gao Yuanwai has always been very good to Gao Li. He may also be the only person in the Gao family who is good to Gao Li except for his dead mother.
"Father, don't worry, I'm not the same as before. It's not me boasting, maybe in the future, the Gao family may still need me to pull it. Gao Li said with a smile.
Gao Yuanwai smiled and said, "I don't expect you to save me in the future, the Gao family will be defeated if it is defeated." Those brothers and sisters of yours are taken care of by their mothers, and I just hope that you can live well. ”
The father and son stayed for a while, and Gao Yuanwai said to Gao Li: "If you have something to do, go first, and I'll talk to your mother again." ”
Gao Li understood, got up and saluted: "I'll go first, father." ”
"Go ahead. ”
Gao Li left, passing by the two servants, and the two of them bowed at the same time: "Childe." ”
Gao Li returned the salute, nodded, and left. I heard a voice in the wind: "It's just taking advantage of ......"
Then, there was suddenly no movement.
Then, a faint aroma followed from behind.
