"This year is a very monumental year, and as the head of the family, I would like to say a few words." After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began, Zhao Mu picked up the cup.

"This year...... First of all...... Then ......"

……

After nagging for two minutes, Zhao Qi, the first one who couldn't stand it, interrupted his father's words.

"Well said, everyone applauded, quack...... Let's eat. As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and aimed them at the table.

"Stinky boy, I'm not done yet." Seeing that everyone at the table began to eat, Zhao Mu put down his wine glass in a daze.

"Xiaohu, don't be restrained, these are also members of our family, and we will slowly get used to it in the future." Song Xia looked at Hu Bing, who was still a little restrained and looked at the two sand monks who were snatching from time to time, and said.

Looking at this full table, Zhao Qi showed a gratifying smile, whether it was his parents, relatives or basketball, they were the most important people in him. Being able to celebrate the New Year with your most important person and eat a reunion dinner, isn't this what you have been pursuing?

It's a pity that there is a lone tiger in the Spirit Animal Garden today, although he has practiced the exercises found by Zhao Qi, and the tiger can also change its body shape at will, but after all, it is a marine animal, and there is really nothing for it to eat. In addition, basketball, even if there are a few more dishes on the table, it is not enough for one of them to eat, but since it is the New Year, what everyone is trying to figure is a reunion.

After dinner, Zhao Qi ran to his father in a hurry, looking at his father with blank eyes.

And Zhao Mu naturally knew what Zhao Qi meant, without saying a word, he slowly made himself a cup of tea and sat on the sofa.

"Dad, have you forgotten something?" Zhao Qi saw Zhao Mu pretending to be stupid on the side, and immediately became unhappy, so he leaned over to Zhao Mu and said. At the same time, he gestured with his hand.

"What's the matter? Oh, I almost forgot, Xiaohu, come here. Zhao Mu looked suddenly enlightened, and called Hu Bing, who was cleaning up the table, over.

"Uncle." As soon as Hu Bing heard the call, he immediately walked over and stood in front of Zhao Mu.

"This is the first time you have come here for the New Year, and this is the New Year's money for you." Zhao Mu stood up as he spoke, took out a bulging red envelope from his body and handed it to Hu Bing.

This red envelope contains a total of 100 banknotes with a face value of 100, plus a one-yuan coin, which together is 10,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan, symbolizing one in a million. It's a custom in King County. And the meaning of Zhao Mu and Song Xia is also quite clear, and they are still quite satisfied with this future prospective son-in-law.

Seeing that his future father-in-law and parents recognized him, Hu Bing was also very happy, and bowed heavily to Zhao Mu and Song Xia and happily accepted it.

"Dad, how can you say that you are also a billionaire, why do you give such a point?" Zhao Qi joked on the side.

"What do you know, stinky boy! This is a local custom and has little to do with worth. ”

"That's right, but you seem to have forgotten who, right?" Zhao Qi said with a smile on the side.

"Oh. Yes, yes, I almost forgot. Zhao Mu's eyes lit up, and he took out another red envelope from his pocket and shook it in front of Zhao Qi.

"Ranran. Dad sent you a red envelope. As he spoke, he put the red envelope in his hand on Zhao Ranran's hand.

Zhao Ranran looked at Zhao Qi and Zhao Mu who were playing with a smile, opened it with a red envelope, and saw that there were ten hundred-yuan bills inside, and immediately accepted it with a smile.

"Comrade Lao Zhao. What about mine? Zhao Qi finally didn't calm down and asked.

"Do you want it too? How old are you? Zhao Mu didn't look at Zhao Qi at Ye Bu, and slowly drank the tea in his hand.

"Why can't I ask for it?" Zhao Qi was immediately anxious when he heard this.

"You're nineteen years old. After the age of eighteen, you still have to press the New Year's money, are you embarrassed? ”

Zhao Qi was suddenly choked by his father's words.

"But my sister is older than me, why don't I have her?"

"Girls should be rich and boys should be poor, haven't you heard?" Zhao Mu said seriously.

"It's just a strong word, it's so unfair." Zhao Qi turned his head angrily and stopped looking at the smug Zhao Mu.

"I really can't take you, I'll give it to you." After a while, Zhao Mu took out another red envelope from his clothes.

As soon as Zhao Qi saw the red envelope in Zhao Mu's hand, he immediately grabbed it, but when he opened it, his face suddenly turned green.

"Dad, you're too much, what do you mean by this nineteen yuan?" Looking at the scattered nineteen yuan in the red envelope, Zhao Qi simply wanted to cry without tears.

"You're nineteen years old, and one dollar a year, that's just the right amount."

"It's too much." Looking at Hu Bing and Zhao Ranran, who were snickering next to him, Zhao Qi gritted his teeth and said.

"It's not easy to ask for red envelopes, as long as you don't go out next year, I will give you a company." Zhao Mu said with a smile.

"Cut, I already knew what you wanted to say, how much is your company worth, it's like buying me, and there is no door." Although this joke was made between father and son, from his father's eager gaze, Zhao Qi still felt a strong father's love.

"Dad, I'm sorry, within five years at most, I will definitely come back to you, and I won't go anywhere." Feeling Zhao Mu's roundabout request, Zhao Qi said secretly in his heart.

"Haha, the red envelope is not negotiable." Zhao Mu, who was smiling, sighed faintly in his heart, and there was a trace of imperceptible loneliness on his face.

……

Zhao Mu's words were not fulfilled, in Zhao Qi's stalking, he finally took out a red envelope that was the same as Zhao Ranran and handed it to Zhao Qi's hand, as soon as the red envelope arrived, Zhao Qi immediately rushed to the big table happily, shouting at his sister and Hu Bing to play mahjong together.

Zhao Qi, Zhao Ranran, Zhao Mu and Hu Bing suddenly sat down at the table and played mahjong for ten yuan.

And Zhao Qi, who has the help of Tianyan, is naturally invincible, focusing on Zhao Mu, although it is only ten yuan a game, but after one night, Zhao Mu also lost nearly three hundred yuan, and his depressed face is in stark contrast to the triumphant Zhao Qi.

"Tell you to trick me!" Zhao Qi held a large handful of banknotes in his hand and smiled, and his mouth couldn't close.

Whether it was asking for red envelopes before, or winning money by playing mahjong later, it was not the reason why Zhao Qi was happy, and being able to spend a good night happily with his family was what he really needed.

When the night's hustle and bustle was over, it was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a habit of keeping the year, but it was also impossible to resist sleepiness, so the family washed and slept, leaving only Zhao Qi, who had no intention of sleeping, sitting alone in the living room.

Feeling the sound of faint and slow breathing in several places in the room, Zhao Qi, who was sitting quietly, showed a faint smile. (To be continued......)
