Chapter 402, a few joys and a few sorrows
When Jin Zhu was pondering how to answer Jin Yu's question, Jin Yang stretched out his index finger and poked Jin Yu, "You little conscienceless, your sisters and brothers treat you badly, and you still want to live a hard life with your bad mother?" ”
"Jin Yang." Jin Zhu shouted, the voice was not loud, just two words, but the majesty that should be there was no less at all.
"Got it, didn't she say that she missed her mother and I was angry?" Jin Yang muttered.
After Jin Yu entered the door, Jin Zhu set a rule for everyone, not to say bad things about Sun Xiaoyan in front of Jin Yu, saying that this would cause Jin Yu's disgust and even hatred, and it was also not good for Jin Yu's character growth.
Although Jin Zhu didn't plan to let Jin Yu stay with them for a long time, nor did she plan to ask Jin Yu to repay them, Jin Yu was their sister after all, and Jin Zhu still hoped that she could grow up healthy and happy, otherwise she wouldn't go to great lengths to get her from Zhou Shuixian's side.
This is not repaying grievances with virtue, this is human nature.
"Okay, it's almost time, Zhuzhu, let's send a red envelope, let's make a statement first, Zhuzhu and I have already obtained a marriage certificate, so this year the two of us can wrap a red envelope for you." Li Xiang saw that Jin Zhu was angry, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed her shoulder and changed the subject.
"What? No, you and Jinzhu have earned so much money this year, we are waiting for the red envelopes of you two local tyrants to improve our lives, but the two of you only give us a red envelope, like words? Liu Sheng shouted exaggeratedly.
Because he also has a share of this red envelope.
"What do you shout, you can save one when you get married in the future." Li Xiang gave him a defiant look.
Liu Sheng quickly shut up when he heard this.
"Brother-in-law, can I ask you what the thickness of the red envelope is this year?" Taurus asked with a smile.
"Well, see for yourself, it's ready." After Li Xiang finished speaking, he took out a stack of red envelopes from Jinzhu's handbag, all of which were thick and not light.
"Come, old rules, from big to small, Ah Sheng, this is yours, Jin Yang, your ......" Li Xiang read the name of the person while looking at the words on the red envelope.
"Brother-in-law, your red envelope is with someone's name?" Taurus looked at his movements and asked.
"Yes, this red envelope was made by me, and the words on it were also written by me, but the painting was painted by Ah Xiang, so ah, you should keep this red envelope and treasure it, maybe it will appreciate in the future." Jin Zhu laughed and made a joke.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly took the red envelope in their hands and looked at it, the painting was a zodiac painting of the Year of the Monkey, a bit similar to a cartoon painting, but not exactly, it was painted with watercolor pens, which was very realistic; The word is a blessing word, written with a brush, like calligraphy calligraphy, everyone is not the same, below the words are the signatures and seals of Li Xiang and Jin Zhu.
"No wonder you only wrapped one red envelope, it's too much trouble, for the sake of the sincerity of the two of you, I don't care what the thickness of the red envelope is." Liu Sheng smiled and raised the red envelope in his hand.
He had already discovered that it contained a stack of brand-new pink tickets, 10,000 yuan if he guessed correctly, much more than the previous two red envelopes.
"Virtue, if you get cheap, you can sell it well, this red envelope can be sold for a thousand yuan, not to mention the thickness of the red envelope." Li Xiang glanced at Liu Sheng.
"Really, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, can I make another red envelope like this next year, I will sell it after collecting all the twelve zodiac signs, can I sell more?" The golden bull climbed over Li Xiang from the end of the sofa to Jinzhu and sat between Jinzhu and Li Xiang.
As soon as Jin Zhu stretched out his hand to touch the golden bull, the golden bull was pulled away by Li Xiang in disgust, "How old are you, don't pounce on your sister without moving, do you think you are still young?" ”
"Isn't it, you even ate the vinegar of the golden calf?" Liu Sheng quipped.
"But Taurus's idea is serious, if a red envelope can be sold for 1,000 yuan, how can it be sold for 20,000 yuan if you collect 12." Jin Yang said calculatedly.
"Eldest sister, I still want a purse made by you, I like that." Jin Liu also squeezed to Jin Zhu's side.
"Okay, when you celebrate your birthday next year, the eldest sister will make one for you." Jin Zhu agreed.
In the past few years, Jin Zhu has been either busy with her studies or writing, and she has never made a purse, and even the half-embroidered embroidery was moved out because she had to demonstrate it to those embroiderers.
"Eldest sister, I want one too." Jin Yang also squeezed between Jin Zhu and Jin Niu.
"Eldest sister, my red envelope is for you." Jin Yu also held the red envelope in his hand and squeezed it over.
She had just seen it, and there was so much money in the red envelope that she couldn't count it, and she was a little frightened and didn't dare to ask for it.
"This is the New Year's money given to you by the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law, you can keep it for yourself to study or learn to paint." Jin Liu said to her.
She knew that Jin Yu had signed up for a painting class, because it was a beginner, it was learned by many people together, and the price was not expensive, and this 10,000 yuan a year was enough.
"Then I'll also enlarge my sister."
"Okay, eldest sister will take it for you first, and when you get home, put it in the drawer in your room, and pick it up yourself when you need it." Jin Zhu also wants to cultivate Jin Yu's self-reliance ability as soon as possible.
"Ah Sheng, why haven't you sent your red envelopes yet?" Li Xiang saw that there was no place for him beside Jin Zhu, so he nodded to Liu Sheng.
Because he has been busy taking on dramas to make money for most of the year, he usually doesn't have much time at home, so as soon as he goes home, he especially likes to stick to the gold beads, plus he drank a lot of wine tonight, and he wants to talk to the gold beads.
"It's not time yet, you're too anxious." Liu Sheng misinterpreted Li Xiang's meaning and smiled evilly.
Li Xiang didn't defend after hearing this, there are so many underage children, this topic must not continue.
"Brother Sheng, where's your red envelope? Don't mess around. Jin Yang also understood the meaning of Liu Sheng's words, knowing that Jin Zhu was thin-skinned and there were a few Jin Liu, so it was difficult to tell him, so he had to open his mouth to change the topic.
"My red envelope is not as elegant as people's, it is very cheesy, and there is not much money in it, which is what it means." Liu Sheng naturally understood that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly took out the red envelope he had prepared.
The little in his mouth is relative to Li Xiang, but it is also a lot for Jin Yang, and he wrapped two thousand yuan.
In fact, Liu Sheng is not rich now, most of his money was invested in the inn, and there were only more than 50,000 yuan left in the stock market at that time, this money not only had to pay tuition, but also the usual living expenses came from here, fortunately, he ate most of the time on Jinzhu's side, Jinzhu not only did not let him pay for food, but even brought his share when he bought clothes for Li Xiang and Jin Yang, so he didn't have much money now, so he wrapped a red envelope of 2,000 yuan for everyone.
"Brother Asheng, have you made money from your stocks?" Jin Liu asked, she knew Liu Sheng's financial situation better.
"I earned a little, rest assured, it's enough, I think I should be able to get dividends by the end of this year." Liu Sheng said.
With enough funds, he can start the renovation after the Lantern Festival, and he can start the civil works on the land in Pinggu in March, so he is confident that he can get dividends at the end of the year.
When Jinzhu was jubilantly saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the Li family was gloomy.
Originally, Yuan Yuan had already persuaded herself to accept Li Fangfang, no matter how you say it, they have been a husband and wife for so many years, they also have a common son Li Ruizhao, not for others, just for Li Ruizhao's future Yuan Yuan can't do things desperately.
Besides, the most important thing is that Li Xiang's birth happened before Yuan Yuan married Li Fangfang, and she has no position to accuse Li Fang of infidelity, not to mention, Li Fang himself does not know Li Xiang's existence, which shows that he does not have much affection for Li Xiang's biological mother, otherwise he will definitely pay attention to the other party's living situation for so many years.
But just when Yuan Yuan made up his mind to get along with Li Fangfang, Li Yifang took Li Ruizhong to Hangzhou to relax, which hurt Yuan Yuan again, making Yuan Yuan feel very disappointed and feeling that he was still excluded from Li Fangfang's heart.
But then Yuan Yuan, who had not yet come out of the loss, learned the news of Li Fangfang's disappearance again, and Yuan Yuan couldn't care about anything at this time, even if he flew to Hangzhou, it turned out that Li Fang was not here to relax at all, but to see Li Xiang's uncle!
Knowing that Ma Chunsheng kidnapped Li Yifang, the angry Yuan Yuan instantly calmed down, first transferred Ma Chunsheng's materials, and learned that Ma Chunsheng had not returned home for so many years, dragging a stump to find a painter surnamed Li all over the country, and the astute Yuan Yuan guessed that Ma Chunsheng's purpose of kidnapping Li Fang was by no means a simple reminiscence.
In order to save Li Fangfang and teach Ma Chunsheng a lesson, she used the armed police of Qiandong City.
It's no wonder that she was in this matter, the situation was so urgent at that time, she was not familiar with the government and public security in Qiandong, so she had to find the local armed police.
But who knew that Li Fang was kidnapped by Li Xiang and Jin Zhu, they rushed to the scene first to persuade Ma Chunsheng, but Li Fang insisted that this was not a kidnapping, so she became a joke instead, and was accused by the boss of abusing her power without investigating clearly.
For this reason, Yuan Yuan memorized an intra-party punishment with a major demerit, and Li Xiang's breath has not yet come out, and there is another Ma Chunsheng, is it strange that Yuan Yuan's heart can be smooth?
In fact, Yuan Yuan is not unclear about why Li Fang did this, if he admits to the kidnapping, he will definitely sue Ma Chunsheng, and at that time, Ma Chunsheng will definitely tell the reason for kidnapping Li Fangfang, in this way, Li Xiang's identity will be exposed, and Li Fang will inevitably be implicated.
can understand that it is just that this breath in her heart can't come out, and Yuan Yuan feels aggrieved and panicked.
A few years ago, she was fed up with Li Ruizhong's anger, but she didn't expect that just two years after Ansheng, another Li Xiang appeared, and seeing that Li Xiang's momentum was so strong, there was no doubt that it was another Li Ruizhong, and she had to guard against it.
According to her meaning, I really want to take this opportunity to clean up Ma Chunsheng and Li Xiang, one is guilty of kidnapping and one is an accomplice to perjury, what future can I have in the future?
But Li Fang didn't cooperate!
However, this is more than her back, and Li Fang took the initiative to make several assurances to her, first, he did not recognize Li Xiang's identity and no longer interacted with him in private; second, it was up to Li to restrain the old man and Li Ruizhong to stop associating with Li Xiang; Third, after Li Ruizhao graduated from graduate school, he devoted himself to supporting Li Ruizhao's career.
It can be guaranteed to be guaranteed, and the guarantee can only be to let Yuan Yuan no longer mention the divorce, but it is difficult for them to return to the past, so this Chinese New Year's Eve is the loldest Chinese New Year's Eve in the Li family in the past two decades.
First of all, as the only hostess of this family, Yuan Yuan is not in a good mood, and Li Fang naturally can't be relaxed, and Old Man Li was so angry because of Yuan Yuan's divorce that he went to Beidaihe to live for more than two months.
As soon as the old man fell ill, there was no laughter in this family, and even the guards and nannies were trembling.
In this case, what else does the Li family have to think about the New Year?
Old man Li barely sat and ate a few mouthfuls of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and went back to the house to lie down, Li Ruizhong saw that as soon as the old man's front foot left the back foot, he came out to have fun by himself, Li Ruizhao looked at his insincere mother for a while, and then looked at his father who was insincere, sighed, and also went back to his room, leaving a space for his parents to be alone.
When only Li Yifang and Yuan Yuan were left in the restaurant, Yuan Yuan's face immediately turned cold, and he didn't even look at Li Fangfang, and directly pulled out his chair and went back to the guest room.
Li Yifang looked at a large table full of dishes, an empty restaurant and a lonely self, and then listened to the sound of firecrackers outside, at this time, he suddenly remembered Li Xiang's mother, and remembered the woman who was as gentle as water and as warm as the sun.
If he had brought her back back then, what would his life have been? Maybe not as powerful as it is now, but it's certainly more comfortable than it is now.
It's just that I'm afraid that he will regret it at that time, and he will feel that Ma Chunyu is dragging him down.
What is important in this life?
Future, career, love, marriage, family, what does he want? What did he give up and what did he get?
Li Fangfang, who is approaching the age of sixties, formally examines his heart for the first time and looks back on his life.
When he was a child, Li Yiyi began to show his talent for painting, at the age of four or five, he could sit in the room and paint for hours without moving, so the old man became his enlightenment teacher, he studied Chinese painting for more than ten years, in order to expand his horizons, he went to France to study after graduating from high school, and in France he met the love of his life, a young and beautiful violinist, Ouyang Qingwan, that is, Li Ruizhong's mother.
After graduating from graduate school, the two returned to China to get married and have children, each developing their own careers, what an enviable couple they were at that time, one was a rookie in the art world, the other was a rising star in the music industry, talented and beautiful, and a lively and lovely son.
