Chapter 20: The First Day of the Lunar New Year

The lotus woke up in a daze, and it was already the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Zhang Shi and Wang Cheng were also asleep next to him, and the crisp sound of mahjong came from the living room. Sure enough, the elders played mahjong all night. And according to the previous practice, they will play until the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year.

Lotus couldn't stand still, got up and got dressed and walked out. In the living room, uncle, aunt, second aunt, and Zhang Li were all playing with a haggard face but a focused expression.

Seeing him come out, the aunt smiled and said, "You kid, you slept so early yesterday, and you haven't paid New Year's greetings yet, hurry, I'll give you a red envelope for the New Year."

Hearing this, Lotus hurriedly stepped forward to greet the elders in turn, although the second aunt was a little calculating, but to be honest, it would not be bad in this regard. Lotus smiled and accepted 4 red envelopes, and said to Zhang Li: "Mom, I'll go home and come back for dinner in the afternoon." Zhang Li nodded and agreed.

Lotus put on her shoes and was just about to leave, when she heard Zhang Shi's voice behind her, "Lotus, where are you going?" ”

Lotus turned around and smiled: "I'll go home, why don't you call Wang Cheng up and go to my house to play." ”

"Okay, don't go, wait."

Zhang Shi's eyes lit up when he heard this, the sleepiness of getting up disappeared in an instant, and the whole person was refreshed. Hurriedly went back to wake up Wang Cheng, it was really boring to stay here, adults played mahjong, and children had nothing to do.

After about 5 or 6 minutes, the two of them got dressed and went out with the lotus.

"It's cold." Wang Cheng rubbed his arms and complained.

Winters in the north, especially in the early mornings, are particularly cold. As soon as the lotus flower came out, she was blown by a gust of cold wind.

The three of them walked for about 20 minutes to arrive at Lotus's house, which was also the first time Zhang Shi and Wang Cheng came, and when they saw the exquisite villa, they both showed envy.

"Lotus, your house is so big." Zhang Shi looked envious, and Wang Cheng on the side also nodded.

Lotus smiled, opened the door and led the two in. Birthday in the house heard the sound of the door opening his ears immediately pricked up, hurriedly ran to the door and squatted, barking a few times, last night it was a dog frightened.

"What's the sound? Is it a dog? Zhang Shi asked the lotus in surprise, and Wang Cheng also looked around.

"Well, yes, it's not been long since I raised it, and the little milk dog is it."

When the lotus heard the sound of her birthday, her mood also improved, and she felt that the weather was not so cold.

opened the door, and the birthday really came out at the first time, and he didn't pay attention to the owner, and ran directly to the convenient place these days.

Zhang Shi and Wang Cheng only felt a black shadow flashing in front of them, and when they looked closely, they found that it was a puppy that was not too small and ran out, and the two of them were stopped by Lotus just when they wanted to chase it.

"It's convenient, what are you doing with it? Hurry up and get inside, it's cold. As she spoke, Lotus took the lead in the house.

When the two of them heard this, they also suppressed their curiosity about their birthdays, and hurriedly followed in, they were tired after walking for so long. After the two entered the house, they looked around, full of envy. I only saw the house on TV before, but I didn't expect my cousin (brother) to live in it.

At this time, the birthday was also settled, and he ran straight to the lotus with joy screaming, and Zhang Shi and Wang Cheng were ignored by it. Birthday twisted his ass, smashing his little short legs hard and howling all the way to the lotus feet, turning around. Seeing this, the lotus hurriedly hugged it in his arms to comfort him, and got it dog food, don't look at him usually very strict with birthdays, but he likes birthdays from the bottom of his heart. This medium-sized dog must be taught well from an early age, otherwise it will be easy to have problems when it is big, and it will also affect others.

Zhang Shi and Wang Cheng saw that the lotus flower was holding her birthday, and the two of them hurriedly looked around, and the interest in visiting the house was gone.

"What kind of dog is this, it's so cool, like a wolf, this look." Wang Cheng looked excited, and his chubby face was huddled together.

"It's called a husky, and it's not too small. It's only been 3 months now, and I can have 80 pounds in the future. The lotus is also happy to show off her pets.

The two of them were shocked when they heard that this dog could weigh more than 80 pounds, how big is that?

The lotus put down the birthday, Wang Cheng wanted to play with it, who knew that the birthday would not be shaken, and he twisted his ass and went straight to its bowl. The two of them had to go up to the second floor with the lotus, and when they saw the cinema-like screening hall on the second floor, Wang Cheng was even more envious, this would let him live here, how comfortable it would be!

took the two to the bedroom, and after seeing the computer, the two of them were completely not calm, and they huddled together and started playing. The lotus flower also fell clean, lay on the bed and took out her mobile phone to see that it was more than 9 o'clock, and then sent a text message to Li Jiani.

"I'm home, and I'm feeding for my birthday."

Two minutes later, Lotus's phone rang.

"Well, feed it well, tell it I miss it, and I miss you more :D"

Lotus saw the information and her heart warmed, really, it is a very happy thing to have someone who thinks about herself. But when I saw the expression at the end, Lotus couldn't cry or laugh, I really don't know how many expressions this little girl will study.

"I miss you too, you take care of yourself, I'll sleep for a while, I didn't sleep enough yesterday."

"Well, you know, you have a good rest, I'm going to go to a relative's house with my parents."

After Lotus and Li Jiani finished sending the message, they didn't care about the two people in front of the computer, and soon he fell asleep

"Lotus, wake up, don't sleep." "Woohoo"

The noise woke up the lotus, and she heard Zhang Shi calling herself in a daze, squinting her eyes, and her birthday was also howling at herself on the carpet. Lotus rubbed her eyes, took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

"Lotus, you're awake, we're all going to starve to death."

Zhang Shi said a little embarrassed, Wang Cheng Enen, who was still fighting in front of the computer over there, echoed it, and his birthday was also anxious.

Lotus scratched her face and said helplessly: "Refrigerator, go downstairs and turn left, take whatever you want." ”

"Okay," Zhang Shi heard the words and went downstairs with great interest to find something to eat.

"Dog food, go downstairs and turn right, eat whatever you want."

"Huh?" Birthday tilted his head to look at the lotus, as if questioning his intelligence.

"Ugh"

The lotus slapped her face, reflecting that she had said something stupid, and she didn't look at the sarcastic expression on her birthday, so she quickly got out of bed and prepared something for it.

When Birthday saw the owner get up, he knew that he could eat, and hurriedly twisted his ass to keep up.

After serving her birthday, Lotus sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Zhang Shi and Wang Cheng were still playing upstairs. Seeing how obsessed the two of them were with computers, Lotus decided to talk to Zhang Li about the Internet café. Now there are already a few Internet cafes here, and the environment is very scummy. But I heard that business is quite good. The lotus flowers are not ready to do it like they do. First of all, the environment should be good, the place should be big, and secondly, it should be formal, and children should never be allowed to enter. His idea is to make a chain model, and the most important thing is that he knows that Alibaba is about to set sail, and when the time comes, Taobao e-commerce will enter all kinds of disorders, and the era of the Internet will be completely attacked. He doesn't have the ability to lead the way, but he must keep up with it.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, under the reluctant look of the two, the three returned to their grandmother's house. The mahjong game has stopped, and my aunt is preparing a meal for the first day of the new year. But the lotus knows that they still have to play after eating, Zhang Li usually doesn't play these at all, but every time the New Year and the festival are celebrated, the lotus will see Zhang Li's enthusiastic participation, thinking about it, it should be the mother's self-control is relatively strong.

After dinner, Zhang Li really decided to stay there and continue to play mahjong. The lotus flower was helpless, but she was also happy to relax. In the evening, he went home alone, and there was a small birthday at home. It's really inconvenient to bring it here, after all, not everyone has a good opinion of dogs

Li Chen has had doubts since he saw Li Jiani's mobile phone and his brother's reaction, he didn't have to get to the bottom of it, but he really loved Li Jiani's niece. Yesterday, there were many people who couldn't ask, but today while his younger brothers and sisters were at home, he pulled his wife and children to visit the door, and by the way, he figured out what was going on.

"Brother, come in. Why do you bring so many things? ”

Dad Li saw that his eldest brother came early in the morning, and he had a guess in his heart. sighed, this is a good thing, but it's hard to say, my own girl is still young, and the conditions of the other party's family are too good.

"It's all here, Jiani, come here, it's all for you, you"

Before Li Chen finished speaking, his gaze fell on the necklace around Li Jiani's neck. Li Jiani didn't wear it yesterday, so everyone didn't see it. Li Chen is still very discerning, although this necklace is not particularly valuable, it is a little strange to bring it to a 14-year-old girl.

"Thank you, uncle." Li Jiani didn't notice Li Chen's abnormality, politely took the things and stood aside quietly.

Li's father and Li's mother noticed Li Chen's gaze, and glanced at each other, showing a helpless look. There's no way, it's not easy to hide it, I'm saying that people also care.

"Brother, come and sit down, let's talk here." Dad Li hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to speak.

Li Chen nodded, then walked over with his daughter-in-law, and sent his son to watch TV with Li Jiani honestly

"What? Is Jiani talking about someone? ”

Li Chen looked shocked, and Li Liqiang's mother next to him was also full of surprise.

"yes, that kid is fine, and we've all met." Dad Li told him what he knew, and Mama Li occasionally added on the side.

After the two finished speaking, Li Chen's face changed from angry to tangled, and finally calmed down.

"Are you telling the truth?" Li Liqiang's mother asked.

"Of course, how can we be sloppy about the child's business." Li's mother replied dissatisfied.

"I didn't mean that, the point is that you can't hear it anymore." She quickly waved her hand and explained.

"So what the hell do you guys think? I know about the shopping center, I heard that the boss is a strong woman, and now she is worth hundreds of millions, this kind of family" Li Chen hesitated for a moment and didn't finish his words.

The two glanced at each other, and Dad Li said, "Brother, let's take this matter, I think it's better to let it be." We have met Zhang Li a few times, a very particular person. The most important thing is that the kid, Lotus, he is really good. It's hard to believe that there will be such a good child before you meet him, not to mention that Jiani is also fascinated by that kid. As long as it doesn't affect the grades, everything is measured. We don't have a problem with that. To be honest, we also discussed, you say let's Jiani, it's pretty good, but it's really not comparable to a child like Lotus. Why do you think the two of them got along? And looking at the things that lotus does, it is not generally good for Jiani. ”

After Dad Li said these words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the room fell into a short silence.

After a while, Li Chen opened his mouth and sighed: "I hope Jiani's child is blessed, hearing you say this, I also want to see the lotus flower in your mouth that is better than ordinary people." ”
