Chapter 97: Chinese New Year's Eve
The Spring Festival of 2005 was similar to previous years for Li Changjian, but it was a little different, he went to college, met some new friends, and greatly expanded his social circle, so this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Changjian was also relatively busy, and after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his mother, he began to call friends he knew one by one to pay New Year's greetings.
Those who can call to pay New Year's greetings are also more familiar, and as for those who are limited to general friends, Li Changjian always sends text messages, which can be regarded as expressing New Year's greetings.
Zhao Zhengqian and Lin Xiuzhong, Li Changjian called separately, as well as Jiang Mengqian, Wang Nongfu including Liang Xiaopeng, He Jie, Zhang Xiuqi and others, Li Changjian called one by one, and after calling these friends or business partners in the society, Li Changjian began to bombard his classmates in turn, whether it was college or high school, as long as the relationship was okay, Li Changjian would not fall over to pay New Year's greetings.
Li Changjian, who has lived a lifetime, undoubtedly seems more confident and calm.
When I finished making all the calls, it was already past eight o'clock, and seeing my mother sitting alone watching the Spring Festival Gala, Li Changjian walked over, "Mom, why don't you go out to the neighborhood to hang out, how boring it is to stay at home alone." ”
"It's clean at home, Mom doesn't like this noisy atmosphere." Zhang Xinlan said with a smile.
"New Year's Day, if it's not lively, then how can it be called New Year." Li Changjian looked at the empty home, "Our house is too deserted." ”
"You're in college now, and your mother won't stop you from falling in love, so if you can bring a girlfriend back for the New Year next year, then the family will be lively." Zhang Xinlan laughed, although she was still a little depressed during the New Year this year, the smile on her face was a lot more than in previous years, and her son was sensible and competitive, which made Zhang Xinlan feel for the first time that this family was finally developing in a better direction, and she was relieved.
"Mom, why are you talking about this like my dad." Li Changjian smiled bitterly.
"Didn't you say that our house is too deserted, and Mom also wants to be lively, so if you really have the ability to bring a girlfriend back for the New Year, Mom must be happy." Zhang Xinlan was full of smiles.
"Mom, you better spare me, this matter of finding a girlfriend has to be fate, and it doesn't mean that you can have it." Li Changjian shook his head and smiled.
The mother and son were talking, and someone walked in outside the door, and Li Changjian saw that it was the fourth uncle's family, so he couldn't help but stand up, "Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, you are here." ”
"Brother, and me, I'm such a big person, didn't you see it?"
"See, our family Lingling is really getting more and more beautiful." Li Changjian looked at the eccentric cousin who came out from behind the fourth uncle, and couldn't help but laugh.
Cousin Li Lingling is the only daughter of the fourth uncle, because the fourth uncle and his wife are both in a relationship of eating public jobs, and they can only have such a child.
"Changjian, I heard your mother say that you stayed in Xiazhou for many days after the winter vacation before coming back, is it that there are too many fun things in the big city, and you are reluctant to come back." Li Hongwen said with a smile.
"No, I think big cities are actually more crowded and lively, otherwise it's better than our small county."
"You are wrong to say that, the city is big, at worst, it reflects the cultural heritage of the city, the cultural environment, and even the inclusiveness of the city...... To put it mildly, it is the optimal allocation of educational resources, medical resources and other social resources, let's just say that you study, do you say that a small county like Fumen can run a higher education institution like Xiazhou University? Can a nationally renowned middle school like Double Ten Middle School be established? ”
"Fourth uncle, you are still powerful, as soon as you say it, it is a big truth." Li Changjian grinned, the Double Ten Middle School in the mouth of the fourth uncle is the most famous high school in Xiazhou, and it is quite famous in the country.
"Poor mouth." Li Hongwen scolded with a smile.
When Li Changjian saw that it was the eldest uncle and the second uncle coming at the same time, he guessed in his heart that it was estimated that several families had made an appointment to come to their own house together tonight, because of the situation in their own family, in the past few years, during the New Year, most of the elders will come to their homes to sit on the New Year's Day.
Li Changjian was busy greeting a few uncles, but his eccentric cousin Li Lingling also circled around him, constantly asking him what was fun about studying in college, and asked him if he was secretly looking for a girlfriend outside, which made Li Changjian cry and laugh.
"Brother, I'm going to learn from you, and I'm going to be admitted to Xiazhou University in the future." Li Lingling said with a grin.
"That's good, when you come, your brother is still in his senior year, and I will cover you then." Li Changjian looked at this cousin who had just entered the first year of high school, his face was full of smiles, in his previous life, because he felt that he was closer to the fourth uncle's family, and even had a better relationship with this cousin.
"Brother, that's what you said, hum, you can wait for me then." Li Lingling shook her hair very arrogantly, and didn't forget to add at the end, "Don't forget to introduce me to a few more handsome guys and seniors." ”
"You little girl, if you don't study hard now, you'll start thinking about handsome guys."
"My dad has spoken, I studied hard in high school, and the university allowed me to fall in love, hum, I'm looking for a handsome guy."
Li Changjian listened to the other party's words, looked at this lovely cousin with amusement, and didn't know who would be able to lower this ghost elf in the future, the cousin who completely inherited the excellent genes of the fourth aunt, this will be like a beauty embryo, in the previous life, in 2015, when he was reborn, the cousin was still single, not that he couldn't find a boyfriend, but that he chased too many men, and the cousin seemed to always adhere to the idea of preferring lack to indiscriminate, even if it was single, she was not willing to find a random make-do, so that the family was so anxious for her, I don't know what kind of one she wants to find, because the family introduced her to all kinds of things, some are teachers, some are civil servants, and some are doctors, all of which are high-quality stocks with stable jobs, and my cousin can't look down on them, and in the end, no one introduced her to them again.
While talking to his cousin, Li Changjian boiled water and prepared to make tea, several elders came over, the atmosphere at home was finally no longer deserted, looking at such a big family of lively people, Li Changjian felt very comfortable, he liked this kind of happy atmosphere of the family, if it weren't for the early death of grandparents, their entire Li family is such a big family, maybe the cohesion will be stronger now, when my father had an accident, only the fourth uncle really helped hard, but Li Changjian didn't blame the uncle and the second uncle in his heart.
Because of the bad relationship between the family, the eldest uncle and the second uncle have been doing small jobs for most of their lives, that is, the kind of small workers who need to build a house to go to the master who lays bricks for others, and they can't earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan after a year of hard work, and they can't take care of their own families, so what can they ask for? Even if they wanted to help, they were powerless.
The Li family in the previous life, the more they went to the back, the more scattered they became, each family took care of their own family, not like a big family, and in the countryside, where the local clan power is very complicated, only the rich or the big family with a large number of people can speak loudly, the Li family is actually a lot of people, and there is a fourth uncle Li Hongwen who is an official in the town, but in the village, there is still not much status, in the final analysis, it is because the Li family is not united, there is no foundation, of course, On the one hand, it is also because the fourth uncle Li Hongwen has been unable to speak in the town.
In this life, although Li Changjian does not expect to change the fate of many people, but for his own family, for his uncles and uncles, cousins, cousins, cousins, etc., Li Changjian also hopes to change their fate more or less by his own efforts, at least to live a comfortable and stable life.
