The lotus leaf is full of boredom, and it has reached the point where she can't swallow it.

At this time, when I heard this, I was even more annoyed, so I said, "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I won't go." Mom, can you call someone later...... Forget it, I'll call and say it myself. ”

Not to mention that she is worried about offending people, let's just say that she is not in the mood to go on this day tomorrow. Tomorrow night is the premiere of the movie, and she is full of thoughts about the box office of the movie, how can she be in the mood to participate in the celebration?

"Why not?" Lotus Ye's mother looked at her daughter in surprise, such a powerful family took the initiative to come to the door, why didn't they go?

Now the deputy mayor is newly appointed, and he has no friendship in the past, and if his daughter doesn't go, I don't know if she will offend anyone.

"I have a movie to go on, and I'm not in the mood for any celebrations." Lotus said irritably.

Lotus Ye's mother disagrees with her approach, "Even if there is a movie to be on, you should participate in more celebrations." You are a big star, and you have won so many actress awards, many people must watch this movie. ”

"Enough, I said I didn't want to go!" The lotus leaf itself was irritable, and at this time, she couldn't stop being nagged by her mother, and she couldn't help it anymore and came out.

When her mother saw her like this, she was a little worried, "Did something happen that made you feel uncomfortable?" "She raised her daughter very well, rarely lost her temper in front of people, and always smiled. Now, she suddenly expressed such irritability, something must have happened.

Lotus Ye looked at her mother and saw that her mother's once beautiful face had grown old. I could only vaguely see the shadow of my youth, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad and said. "It's okay, I'm just worried about the box office of this low-budget commercial film."

When she was young, her mother was still very beautiful, and every time she went to pick her up and drop her off at school, her mother would always be stared at by many people. But now, she has become an ordinary woman, and she no longer has the charm of her youth.

"That's what happened. What are you afraid of? You're a big star, and everyone will definitely sell your account. Mother Lotus said with a smile.

Lotus nodded. "I know, but it hasn't come out yet, and I'm still a little apprehensive. This is my first attempt at a small-budget comedy...... Mom, you can eat dumplings with them, and leave me alone. ”

I finally coaxed people out. Lotus Ye called the deputy mayor's wife and sincerely stated that she remembered the box office of the new film and was not in the mood to participate in the celebration, so she asked her to forgive me.

After that, she opened the dog's eye network to look at the pre-sale, and saw that the pre-sale was 30 million, so she pursed her lips.

The pre-sale of 30 million is nothing for a real blockbuster, but for a small-budget commercial film. That's not bad already.

It's just that her heart sinks straight down, and she is a gambler. There are people who buy less than 30 million at the box office. I guess I've already seen the pre-sale at this time, right? I don't know what they think when they look at the pre-sale of 30 million?

I'm afraid that no matter what I think, I think that she gave the wrong information to mislead them. I haven't called yet, probably because today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and people don't plan to settle accounts at this time.

The lotus leaf covered her eyes. I hesitated for a long time, but I still couldn't think of a good way.

At this time, Fengzhen Taohualiao. Wen Luzhu and Xie Bicheng brought beans and vegetables to the center of Fengzhen Town to set off fireworks. Dundun, Xie Junxin and Chen Junjie also followed their parents at this time and took their own cars to set off fireworks.

In previous years, each family set off fireworks in their own homes, and they liked to set off as much as they wanted. But this year, it is different, if you want to set off fireworks, you have to set aside a special place to set off fireworks, and everyone has a certain amount of fireworks, which cannot be exceeded.

However, there is also the advantage of having more people, that is, it is lively. Especially among the children, they are very happy to laugh and laugh while putting it on.

The thin strips of small fireworks, Wen Luzhu and Bean Bean Vegetable Vegetables each person take a few, light it and turn in circles, so that the fireworks splash around, like stars twinkling in the sky.

These fireworks are so popular that most children have a pack in their hands.

Xie Bicheng smiled and watched Wen Luzhu and Doudou Caicai play, but he didn't move, Wen Luzhu and Doudou Caicai dragged him in and asked him to set off this kind of small fireworks together.

The originally boring thing became interesting when he heard the hearty laughter of his wife and children, and Xie Bicheng also joined in, dancing around with a small firework stick like a fool.

There are also crackers, wiping guns, etc., which were originally forbidden for children to play, but many people still sell them in the town, and one person got a box of bean and vegetable dishes. Wen Luzhu sternly told him that he could only play in front of her and Xie Bicheng, and he was not allowed to play privately.

After putting the gadgets and starting to set off the fireworks, Wen Luzhu stood not far away with Doudou Caicai and watched, and asked the people nearby to leave, and Xie Bicheng went to order the lead.

Xie Bicheng took the lighter and lit the lead, then returned to Wen Luzhu's side, holding his wife and children to watch the fireworks.

Bang-bang-bang-bang-

Fireworks are constantly rising into the sky, blooming beautiful flowers in the night sky.

"It's so beautiful—" Nana clapped her palms and laughed.

Doudou was also happy, and then hugged Wen Luzhu and Xie Bicheng with Caicai.

In the past, when fireworks were set off, they all wished that their father was also around. Last year, there were no fireworks in Beijing, but this year we can finally set off fireworks together.

Xie Bicheng realized the meaning of Doudou Caicai, so he hugged the three people in his arms tightly and watched the brilliant fireworks bloom in the air together.

At this time, other people also started to set off such fireworks, and soon there were rings everywhere, and then brilliant fireworks lit up the night sky.

After watching the fireworks, Wen Luzhu and Xie Bicheng also took Doudou Cai Cai to the Cultural Square to watch the performances, these performances were full of very down-to-earth atmosphere, and Dou Dou Cai Cai said that he was going home after watching it for a while.

The next morning, Wen Luzhu was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, she got up and put on new clothes, and put a large stack of red packages that had been sealed long ago into the pocket of her windbreaker.

Xie Bicheng put on a suit, and after listening to Wen Luzhu say "Happy New Year" and "Wishing you prosperity" to him, he also received a large package of red envelopes handed by Wen Luzhu, "Our customs here, when we see familiar children, we have to send them." ”

Xie Bicheng handed Wen Luzhu the gift he had bought a long time ago, and then hugged her and kissed her face, "Happy New Year, happiness and health." ”

"Have fun! …… When did you buy a gift? Wen Luzhu smiled and kissed Xie Bicheng back, and then lowered his head to open the gift.

Inside is a piece of mutton fat white jade pendant, which looks like an antiquity.

"Seen before. It's an antiquity, from the Tang Dynasty, this thing is not easy to wear on your body, you take it and collect it. Xie Bicheng said, reaching out to help Wen Luzhu cut his hair.

Wen Luzhu opened his drawer and took out a box, "I also have a gift for you." "This is a string of beads made by Qi Nan, and each bead is carved in the shape of a Buddha. She originally planned to learn how to make zuò by herself, but she hurt her eyes, so she found a relationship with Old Man Li and sent it to the old craftsman to help make it.

She originally planned to give it to Xie Bicheng as a birthday gift, but now that she received Xie Bicheng's gift on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she could only take out the beads as a thank you gift first.

Xie Bicheng took the gift, opened it and looked at it, took it to his nose and sniffed it, then put it on his hand, "This is made of your piece of Qi Nan incense?" ”

"Well, I've had someone open it. I was going to give it to you as a birthday present, but I didn't expect you to give me a gift today, so I took it out first. Wen Luzhu said with a smile.

"Then you'll have to get me a birthday present again." Xie Bicheng said with a smile.

Wen Luzhu smiled, "No problem, you wait." As he spoke, he took out a few particularly large red envelopes and handed them to Xie Bicheng, "This is a red envelope for the children in our own family, and you will send it when you see it." ”

Xie Bicheng took it, put it in the pocket on the other side, and then took Wen Luzhu out of the bedroom.

As he walked, he remembered that Wen Luzhu, Mrs. Xie and a few sisters-in-law were in the room last night, and at this time he touched the red envelope in the pocket of his suit, so he asked, "You were in the room yesterday just to make red envelopes?" ”

"That's right. Let me tell you, fortunately, I went to the bank early and came back with more than 100,000 new banknotes, otherwise we would have to use the old banknotes to wrap red envelopes. Wen Luzhu said happily.

"The more than 100,000 red envelopes, are you using them alone, or do you include my mother, a few sisters-in-law and my sister?" Xie Bicheng asked.

Wen Luzhu replied, "Including everyone's." ”

"How big is that red envelope?" Xie Bicheng touched the thickest stack of red envelopes, don't tell him that he is so thick, and the sum is less than 10,000 yuan.

"For your own children, it's 888, and for the children in the village, it's 20 yuan each." Wen Luzhu said with a smile, "This is our habit here, it's all about meaning, just to celebrate." Originally, I wanted to give 88 yuan to our children and 10 yuan to the children in the village, but my mother, several sisters-in-law and sister all said that it was too cold. ”

Xie Bicheng nodded calmly, "It's really too cold." "I didn't even get a hundred, and I was extremely cold. If you want him to give a red envelope to your own child, the minimum is more than five 8s.

"Have you forgotten, this is the custom in our province G. Let me tell you, they go out once a year and most of the red envelopes they get back are 2 or 5 yuan. We're not here for money, we're here for ideas. Do you understand? Wen Luzhu explained in detail.

In such a small village, 20 is too much.

Xie Bicheng bowed slightly, and didn't say much, he still knew that he would follow the customs of the locals.

The two of them went downstairs, and they saw Doudou, Caicai, Dundun, Xie Junxin and Chen Junjie running over in new clothes, "Father and mother/uncle and aunt/fourth uncle and fourth uncle/uncle and aunt Wishing you prosperity, Li is to bring it-"

Wen Luzhu smiled, took out the big red envelope from his pocket, and divided one by one, "Wishing you prosperity." ”

Xie Bicheng is also the same as Wen Luzhu, one person sent a big red envelope.

Several children have a small satchel, and after taking the red envelope, they put it in the bag and run out happily.

Except for last year, I have been here every year at other times, and I am already handy for going around to report the New Year and receive red envelopes.
