Chapter 79: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve
"What is Uncle going to do? Will it help you directly? Li Yang asked.
"He said that he was going to find some former co-workers, form a construction team, and come to work with me, which can be regarded as helping me," said the cousin.
Li Yang nodded and said, "That's not bad."
The cousin was lying on the chair and suddenly sighed: "It feels like a dream, I was still struggling in the construction site a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, I became a partner with the richest man in Fengshui Town, this is a dream."
Li Yang looked at him, just smiled, this process needs to be consumed by himself, Li Yang said that he has done enough.
When I got home, everyone had already prepared the ingredients for lunch, meat and vegetarian dishes were placed on a large table, and everyone sat up around.
In this weather, the best thing for the New Year's dinner is to eat hot pot.
The two pots are hot together, and everyone sits up and chats while eating, which is the atmosphere of the New Year.
At half past eleven, firecrackers had already begun to be set off.
In the upper, middle and lower parts of Lijia Village, more than 100 households, the sound of firecrackers comes and goes, and it lasts for a long time.
When the time came to twelve o'clock, Li Yang and his cousin began to prepare for the release of firecrackers.
In the past, this work was done by Li's father and uncle, but from this year onwards, it will be Li Yang and Li Kun.
This is like a inheritance, and the hope of this family has since been handed over to the two of them.
This year, the changes in the family are getting better and better, and there is no major problem with the health of the grandparents, everyone is safe, and this is the happiest thing in the year.
Crackling, artillery exploded everywhere, making a deafening sound, heralding the end of the year's life.
The family began to sit down for the New Year's dinner.
Li Yang took out the medicinal wine he brought down for his grandfather.
For the remaining eighty catties of medicinal wine, Li Yang took down thirty catties for his grandfather, mainly Tian Qi and ginseng medicinal wine.
As for the wine I drank at noon today, it was taken from the remaining fifty catties, and it was specially used to drink in the past two days, and it looked like ten catties.
It's been three months since November.
In three months, Li Yang added a total of two spiritual waters.
As soon as the lid was opened, a strong medicinal aroma wafted along with the aroma of wine.
"What kind of wine is this, it smells so good?" Uncle asked curiously.
Father Li smiled: "The medicinal wine he brewed himself was brewed with yams."
Li Yang first poured a cup for his grandfather, then Li's father, uncle, uncle, mother, sister-in-law, aunt, several elders all poured a small cup, and the others drank drinks.
The first thing to say before drinking is that of the elders in the family.
Grandpa held the cup and said happily: "This year, our two old people are in good health, Yang Yang is back, making money, we are very happy, every family is safe, have made money, live a good life, this year is over, I hope that next year, we will all be safe, make more money, and live a better life."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank their wines or beverages.
Many people made a sound of satisfaction almost at the same time, because of Li Yang's wine.
"It's a good wine", the uncle let out a sigh of admiration, his eyes lit up, "This wine is delicious, not too strong, with a mellow aroma, and a hint of medicinal taste, but the taste is very good, it's really good wine."
Li Yang handed over the bottle of wine and said, "If it's good, drink more, but don't get drunk."
"Okay, drink less", the uncle took it with a smile, filled it for himself, and filled it for Father Li.
At a New Year's dinner, the family ate very happily and was very lively.
Wang Kang and Wang Zitong finished eating early, and took Li Chenyu out to play.
When everyone has eaten almost enough, it is time for the most critical moment of the year, which is to give out red envelopes.
The tradition of the Li family is that no matter whether you are married or not, the elders will give red envelopes to the younger ones.
At this time, everyone stood together, first the grandparents handed out red envelopes, and a red envelope wrapped fifty yuan, which was the usual money saved by the two old people, and everyone present had it.
Each of them took it and said a word of blessing.
Then there is the uncle's family, Li's father, sister-in-law, and several elders next to each other.
Maybe everyone has made money this year, and the red envelopes have doubled compared to previous years, although it is only two hundred yuan, but in the countryside, this is already a lot.
In order to be festive, everyone will exchange some new money, either in a 20 yuan denomination or a 50 yuan denomination, and then wrap it in red.
Even the youngest Li Chenyu was holding a thick stack of red envelopes.
The only difference in the family this year is Lin Xue.
With one more Lin Xue, there are a lot more topics in the house.
Lin Xue seemed to have received a red envelope for the first time, opened it excitedly, looked at it, and then put it in her pocket with a smile.
"You haven't confiscated the red envelope," Li Yang said with a disdainful expression.
"How about confiscation?" Lin Xue held Li Yang's hand and raised her tsundere's little chin.
Lin Xue didn't confiscate the red envelope, but felt that the meaning of this red envelope was different.
After all the elders finished handing them out, Li Yang took out a few red envelopes and waved them in the air, coughing, "Who wants these red envelopes."
This year he made some money and deserved to send a red envelope.
However, a red envelope only contains two hundred, and even if he makes more money, he can't send more than his elders.
"I want it, cousin", Wang Kang jumped up and hugged Li Yang, howling.
Li Yang smiled and handed him one.
"Thank you, cousin, Wishing you prosperity, send a little more next year," Wang Kang yelled excitedly.
"Thank you, cousin, my brother's words are my words", Wang Zitong also took the red envelope excitedly, which was a windfall for them this year.
In the last red envelope, Li Yang squatted in front of Li Chenyu, looked at him and said, "Li Chenyu."
Li Chenyu actually made a gesture with his hands folded, bowed to Li Yang, and said weakly: "Wishing you prosperity."
This action immediately caused the whole family to burst into laughter, and the sister-in-law reminded with a smile on the side, "Who Wishing you prosperity?" ”
Li Chenyu suddenly laughed, "Uncle Wishing you prosperity", and then stretched out his little hand to grab the red envelope.
Li Chenyu became the pistachio of the whole family, and the New Year's dinner was also spent in such a happy atmosphere.
In the afternoon, it is the most lively time in Lijia Village.
After the New Year's dinner, the families walked out of the house one after another, came to the dam in the middle, and began to gather in groups of three or five, either playing cards or mahjong, adults doing adult things, and children playing children's things.
Li Yang and the others were going to go shopping, he seemed to have forgotten to buy clothes for his parents, and it happened that his cousin was going to buy them too, so everyone was just together, and there were many people and lively.
So Li Yang and Lin Xue, with their mother, cousin and cleaning with their eldest mother, plus Wang Kang, Wang Zitong, and the little guy Li Chenyu, the group walked to the town with a smile.
