…… After signing the lease contract with Xiao Yirui, Xu Linyuan never saw her again.
The pace of the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, all the employees of the factory and the company went home for the New Year on vacation, and Xu Linyuan did not return to his new home in the garden villa area of Jinxiu Tianhua today, but drove his mother and Gangzi back to Guanyang Town early in the morning.
During the Spring Festival this year, Xu Linyuan's family will spend it in Guanyang Town without exception.
The traditional Spring Festival, since the twenties of the lunar month, the families have been busy non-stop, and Xu Linyuan's family came back late, so they are not prepared for some years.
When they got home, the mother and son tidied up the house, prepared the many ready-made New Year's events that had been brought back from the city, and began to cut window flowers and paste Spring Festival couplets, and were very busy.
Just pasted the Spring Festival couplets, Gangzi took Lu Yue to send Xu Linyuan a special sacrifice for the year that their family had specially prepared, and after helping for a while, he went back to prepare for the sacrifice.
Xu Linyuan's grandfather and grandfather died early, and his grandfather was an only daughter of his mother, although his grandmother also gave birth to two children, but since his grandfather died, his grandmother took the two children back to her hometown, and she has not had any contact for so many years.
And Xu Linyuan's grandfather has three children in the family, which can be regarded as two generations of single inheritance, Xu Linyuan's aunt married Fujian Province back then, and only comes back once every few years, his father Xu Zhengqing is the only son in the family, and he still has a few brothers and sisters, but because the medical and health conditions in the old era were too poor, their family was very poor, most of them died prematurely, and only the youngest sister-in-law remained.
Therefore, Xu Linyuan's family has very few relatives, there are two aunts on his father's side, and there are people on his mother's side who don't interact with them, so there are no relatives, plus his grandfather and grandfather died early, and the blood relationship of his ancestors has been separated by three generations, and he has long faded and does not interact much, and every year during the New Year, his sister-in-law returns home to celebrate the New Year together.
This year's Chinese New Year is no exception, Xu Linyuan posted the Spring Festival couplets at home, and after Gangzi helped for a while, the little uncle drove a Mitsubishi pickup truck and took the sister-in-law to pull the New Year's goods into the yard.
The sister-in-law is called Xu Yuehong, Xu Linyuan's father and mother brought up, only Xu Linyuan is four years old, after graduating from college, he came back to work in the Luo County Rural Credit Cooperative, when Xu Linyuan went to college, the sister-in-law provided him with three years of tuition, although he only married his uncle the year before last, but he has always been in the heart of his mother's family, and his uncle has no right to speak by his sister-in-law at home, and he does not spend the New Year at his in-laws' house every year, and he has to come back.
"Xiaolin, why hasn't your dad come back yet?"
As soon as the sister-in-law entered the courtyard and got out of the car, she saw Xu Lin preparing sacrifices in the courtyard, so she came over and said hello to Xu Linyuan.
Xu Linyuan saw that his sister-in-law was back, so he smiled and said, "My dad estimates that it will take a while to come back, and there are many things on his side, so he shouldn't delay the sacrifice!" ”
There is not much difference in age between sister-in-law and Xu Linyuan, when she was a child, Xu Linyuan almost always regarded her as a sister, every time Xu Yuehong came back, the two had many endless topics, which was very cordial.
But there are a lot of things to be busy today, Xu Yuehong and Xu Linyuan joked a few words, and then said: "Let's talk again when we have time, I'll go and help my sister-in-law first......"
After speaking, the sister-in-law sent the sister-in-law to help Xu Linyuan and entered the house.
My uncle Qiao Xueliang's business has been doing well recently, and he has cooperated very well with He Dongyang, and he has begun to make the agricultural trading company profitable, so he has been full of enthusiasm recently and is very active in everything.
When he was helping Xu Linyuan work, he was still chatting with Xu Linyuan about some things in the company's business, and it seemed that he had already entered the role.
It was busy until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and my father Xu Zhengqing drove the unit's Passat back home.
As soon as he entered the door, he didn't delay, and saw that his mother and sister-in-law had already prepared all the things for the sacrifice, so he took Xu Linyuan and his sister-in-law to burn paper money to worship their ancestors.
After burning paper money and sacrificing ancestors, the family began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, until half past seven in the evening, the family gathered around a table, ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and began to watch the Spring Festival Gala, which was also quite lively.
During this period, my father received a call from my aunt from Fujian Province, saying that he would take Xu Linyuan's cousin and cousin's family back to Ningzhou on the third day of the Lunar New Year, which made my sister-in-law and my father happy for a while.
My uncle was born as a fisherman in the coastal area at first, and then went to the north to do seafood business and got acquainted with my aunt, and after getting married, my uncle's business went bankrupt and had to go back to my hometown to work hard again.
However, the eldest uncle is a courageous person, suffered for a few years, spent all the savings that the family had finally accumulated to buy a boat, began to run freight for people, and later had his own way, and also made money, so he opened a shipping company by himself, engaged in marine transportation trade, although it has not been bigger, but over the years it has a net worth of tens of millions.
After Xu Linyuan graduated and came back from the capital, his aunt originally wanted him to come to her side to help her eldest uncle, but his mother was reluctant to let her son go so far to the south, and Xu Zhengqing did not agree, so Xu Linyuan went to the coal mine to do machine inspection and maintenance after returning to his hometown.
This year's Spring Festival Gala program is a bit boring, Xu Linyuan is not too interested in watching, after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, he went to bed early, and he also had a class reunion on the first day of junior high school.
According to the tradition of the northern calendar, the family does not go out on the first day of the new year, and the second day of the new year begins to visit relatives and friends to visit the New Year, so for young people, this day is a more boring day, except for a few people to get together to drink, is to play mahjong, or to find some other fun.
Because of this, Gangzi found contact information with his old classmates who went home for the New Year a few days in advance, and everyone had time to get together for a reunion on the first day of junior high school.
…… Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Xu Linyuan and Gangzi drove back to the city and went straight to Mingyue Tower.
Mingyue Building is open as usual during the Spring Festival, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, which is the most popular time of the year, and Gangzi also booked a conference hall on the sixth floor many days in advance, so that the hotel was rearranged and it was a good meeting place.
Yu Jun and they also have a class reunion, and they are in time with Xu Linyuan, but the little overlord wants to hold a party, and it has something to do with it, so the boss of Mingyue Building is very attentive to arrange a whole floor, and the space is twice as large as Xu Linyuan's side.
However, although they are in a big place, there are not many students who are invited to come, and in terms of numbers, Xu Linyuan compares them to them.
Like today's class reunion, Liu Haiyang, Huang Zheng, Yu Xue, Gangzi, these small circles of people who are relatively close to each other are here, and even Lu Yue and a few others who are not in the same class, but they all know each other to join in the fun, nineteen boys came, and eleven girls came, which can be regarded as the largest number of people at the class reunion every year.
Although Xu Linyuan was very low-key at class reunions in previous years, he would be picked up every time to talk about the deeds of the iron-legged trio back then.
Especially at this year's party, Liu Haiyang and Huang Zheng, the two guys, boasted in front of all the classmates about how much career Boss Xu is currently doing, and even squeezed into the top five of the top ten richest people in Ningzhou, and the deeds of cooperating with Zhou Zhengxiang, a bull fork figure, said that the group of classmates were all kinds of envy and jealousy, and everyone had to run to toast him, especially a few single girls, who were too enthusiastic, and almost poured Xu over on the spot.
Xu Linyuan really couldn't resist the offensive of his classmates, so he escaped to the toilet by urine, but unexpectedly ran into Yu Jun, the little bully, at the door.
Depressed, he lured the wolf.
Yu Jun took a group of classmates and younger brothers who followed him back then, and all of them came here, and almost left Liu Haiyang and Gangzi as the leaders of the classmates who could drink.
In the end, it was Boss Xu who was cunning and cunning, and invited a few girls who drank a lot of beer to support the field and use beer to spell liquor, which put Yu Jun's little brothers and classmates to the ground, and Xu Linyuan and Gang They specially dealt with Xiaobawang.
As a result, Xiaobawang was unable to support himself, and he shouted that he wanted to fight with classmate Xu, but he was dragged away by Yu Xueqiang and went back to sober up.
After Xiaobawang's gang was defeated, Xu Linyuan's classmates didn't drink anymore, chatted together, and some of them went to sing KTV for a while, and played crazy for an afternoon, and everyone broke up happily.
After the meeting ended, Xu Linyuan and Gangzi did not return to Guanyang Town, but just called home, went back to their new home in the villa, and slept lazily until the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Xu Zhengqing and his wife spent the New Year in Guanyang Town, and after accepting some familiar people in the town to pay New Year's greetings, the sister-in-law and the uncle wanted to go back to the in-laws' house, so in the afternoon, the couple rushed back to the city, ready to welcome the aunt's family on the third day of the new year.
"Stinky boy, when is it, I'm still sleeping!"
As soon as my mother returned to her new home, she saw that Xu was still sleeping on the sofa, so she immediately pulled Xu's ears up, pulled Xu up from the bed, and shouted for him to go shopping, and prepare to pick up his eldest uncle's family at the airport early tomorrow morning.
In fact, Xu slept until the morning and got up, but he had nothing to do, and he fell asleep again after watching TV in a daze.
After being shouted by his mother, Boss Xu drove out to buy something.
…… After Xu Linyuan went to the city, the atmosphere in the city was very lively, with the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and theatrical performances were also in full swing.
After parking the car in front of a super department store that was still open, Xu Linyuan got out of the car and walked a few steps, ready to get a cart to go in, but saw that at the cart frame near the mall, an old man with a cane and a hunched back led a little girl who was shivering from the cold, and this old and young attracted Xu Linyuan's attention.
