Chapter 223: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve
Huang Sizhen scolded and scolded, of course she was reluctant to scold her son, first scolded Uncle Yang's family over and over again, turned her head and scolded Yang Wangxiang again, complaining that she was not married, and stayed at home to suck blood on the old couple.
"Don't scold, it's a big New Year, don't you bother, my eldest brother won't come this year, won't there be no reunion for the New Year after the separation?" Yang Wangcai sat in the courtyard and knocked melon seeds, and plucked his ears impatiently.
I don't know if it's because he's hunched over and very thin, Yang Wangcai, who is only in his twenties, looks a little rickety, he doesn't have to do any physical work, and he usually doesn't have much time to go out to see the light, and the whole person is thin and pale.
Huang Sizhen was choked by him and couldn't speak for a long time.
Did Yang Wangtian not want to come back before? That's what she won't let you do! Now that there is a few stinky money in her pocket, Huang Sizhen thought angrily, she knew that she would have such a day, and she would drive Yang Wangtian out when she got married.
"Wangcai, ...... you" Huang Sizhen looked at Yang Wangcai and slowed down his voice, but when Yang Wangcai's lifeless eyes looked over, Huang Sizhen had nothing to say.
She wanted Yang Wangcai to follow Yang Wangtian out to work, looking at Yang Wangtian's appearance, it was obvious that he was working outside to earn money, so he gave two hundred yuan, just like an uncle.
But these two hundred yuan, Yang Wangcai can't get it back for a few years, and he occasionally wins when he plays cards, but more often he loses.
But as soon as Yang Wangcai's eyes met, Huang Sizhen didn't dare to mention this, for fear that he would think too much.
I don't know what's going on, obviously the youngest son used to be lively and cheerful, but in recent years, he has become more and more sensitive and cautious, and he is still very irritable and irritable, but whenever she says something to the old man that he doesn't like to hear, he can roll on the ground angrily.
Huang Sizhen is sad and uncomfortable, but he has spoiled his youngest son all his life, and now there is no reason to let go, Yang Laohan also thinks so, the old couple are now cautious in their words and deeds, Huang Sizhen is serving good people at home, and Yang Laohan is working hard to save money for his son.
The old couple has always wanted Yang Wangcai to get married, and they always feel that Yang Wangcai will become sensible when they get married, but in the past few years, I don't know how many times they have talked about family affairs, from the girl who is the right age at the beginning, to the widowed, divorced, with children, and older......
has said it all over again, and no one has ever taken a fancy to Yang Wangcai at all.
Huang Sizhen persistently believes that these people are blind, of course, she also hates the bad woman who deceived her son at the beginning, Huang Sizhen has always felt that as long as Yang Wangcai wants to, it is easy to coax her daughter-in-law home.
"When Wangcai was born, I found someone to calculate, Wangcai is a rich and noble life, and we can enjoy happiness by relying on him." Huang Sizhen always said this to Yang Laohan.
Although Yang Laohan didn't answer much, he believed it.
Believe it like that, or what else can you do?
Before the Chinese New Year, Wei also called Li Xia and asked her if it was inconvenient to come over to see their sisters and siblings after the New Year, and Li Xia asked her to call again before coming over to inform her of the train schedule, and she would pick him up.
This year is the most reassuring and looking forward to Wei Ye in all these years.
He is not looking forward to the New Year, he is looking forward to the New Year passing soon.
Li Xia this year is the most quiet year, the courtyard is their family, no one makes a fuss, a few years ago accompanied Chen Xinchun to visit a few old comrades-in-arms, went to the Huimin Guest House to visit Huang Fucheng, Li Xia just waited for the New Year.
The New Year's goods and cleaning at home were all taken care of by Li Nan, and Li Xia only needed to supervise the work.
"Aunt, I was in the top fifteen in my class in the final exam." After Tao Ran worked hard, he was finally able to report his achievements to his cousin openly.
Tao Ran is not not smart, looking at his young age, he can figure out so many small businesses, but he used this little cleverness in other places before, and now he uses it in learning, and the natural effect is remarkable.
He was proud in his heart, and inexplicably felt that he was quite a genius, but in a blink of an eye, his cousin asked about Tao Tao's study again.
"Peach, Peach's grades are pretty good...... Let's just be in the top three...... Alas, tied for first place, there is still room for improvement. ”
My sister has good grades, and I am naturally proud to be my brother, but my sister's grades are so good that I want to skip a grade, and my brother's mood is a little complicated.
"You want to like the dried mushrooms I sent you, and I'll send you some more in spring...... We produce this here, and the price is not expensive...... Happy New Year, Auntie, I would like to give you and my uncle a good morning greeting. ”
Tao Tao next to him also took the phone and obediently greeted her cousin's family.
My cousin saw that his wife was wiping his eyes when he hung up the phone, and he also felt a little emotional, who would have thought that the old lady could have such an opportunity and pick up her grandchildren after many years, now Tao Ran is really sensible, and I am afraid that Chen Fengying will regret it in the future.
I won't know until later, anyway, Chen Fengying has no regrets now, without the burden of the children born to her ex-husband, their family of three is very happy now.
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is Li Xia's cooking, in the third year of high school, she is almost spoiled by her younger siblings, usually eat in the school cafeteria, at home during the holidays, she basically never touched the spatula.
Now it's not just Li Nan and Li Yang, Tao Ran has already learned to cook, and even Tao Tao can use a small coal stove to heat up a meal and cook porridge by himself.
Chen Xinchun and his wife wore the new clothes prepared by Li Xia early, and happily sat in the house with a fire watching TV and listening to the play.
Li Nan went to the thrift market to buy a second-hand black-and-white TV, the quality is very good, usually the old couple listen to the opera, watch the news is completely enough.
The old couple is old and older, and many young and middle-aged people on the street will take the initiative to visit them.
At the entrance of the courtyard there are handwritten couplets written by Li Xia, and when you enter the courtyard, you will see some green potted plants in the courtyard that you can't shout your name, and the red couplets posted at the door of each room are written by Li Nan and Tao Tao, and the paper cuts bought are pasted on the windows.
Glance at the eye, the window is clear, clean and neat to make people feel comfortable, into the room of the old couple, the eyes are attracted by a wall of awards, not Tao Ran, the other four in the family are award experts, the first place, three good students, excellent class cadres...... It's Tao Ran, who also won a progress award this year.
The room is warm, the TV is on, there are a few plums in the vase next to it, and the quilts in the house are neatly folded.
The old couple sat together in new clothes and watched TV, Tao Tao sat with her grandmother, and there were melon seeds, peanuts and candy on the coffee table.
After taking the tea, Li Xia held the longan sweet wine eggs that had just been brewed out and warmly entertained everyone.
Although there are no adults at home, a few children have done everything meticulously, and everyone nodded in their hearts.
Study well, have a sweet mouth, treat people and be generous, all the uncles and aunts who come to the door can't help but feel a little sour in their hearts, and they can't wait to get one and go home.
In these years, it would be good for a family to have a sensible child, and there were five in this family!
On the thirtieth day, the guests are basically coming to the door in waves, everyone will not stay for a long time, visit the elderly, and those who are close to the relationship will stuff some money for the elderly, say a few words, and go to the next house.
Li Xia was busy cooking, Li Nan and Tao Ran, as representatives of the family, also went to the door, they were all students, and they would not ask for money, they all brought a bag of apples and oranges to the door.
Chen Xingui is Chen Xinchun's cousin, and he is a relatively close relative, although he doesn't like their family, Li Nan and they must go to see it, and they also took an extra bag of fruits.
As a result, he ran to Chen Xingui's house, didn't even drink a bowl of hot tea, and caught up with Chen Linxiu and his new wife to quarrel with his brother and sister-in-law at home, Li Nan and Tao Ran didn't go in, and drove away after putting down their things.
In the afternoon, Chen Jun took his younger brother to see Chen Xinchun.
Although his parents are divorced, Chen Jun still has a pair of heart-eating eyes, and he still looks heartless, "Grandpa, my brother can't go back until the sixth year of junior high school, and there is something trivial on the way to my mother's car, and I won't get home until tomorrow, so they asked me to come and say hello to you first." ”
Mei Fen is now very hard, and at the age of twenty-seven, she also went to the field to get the goods, but the car broke down on the road, and the road was closed, and she couldn't come back for the New Year.
The two brothers played at Chen's house until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when their uncle came over and went back to their grandmother's house.
"What a sin." Chen Xinchun watched the two children bouncing and following his uncle, and he didn't mention that he wanted to go over there to see his grandparents and his father's words, and couldn't help sighing.
Chen Xinchun is an old thought, the parents of all in the world, Mei Fen and Chen Linxiu are separated, it is their adult business, and children still have to be filial to their parents.
But he can't blame the two children, Chen Linxiu's father doesn't take the child to heart, what can the child do, the father is not kind and can't blame the son for being unfilial.
"In the future, my cousin will know that the bitter fruit he planted will have to be swallowed with tears." Li Xia Ke doesn't sympathize with Chen Linxiu at all, and Chen Linxiu doesn't need her sympathy, the other party is now with his wife by his side, and he doesn't know how beautiful his life is.
The New Year's Day is lively all day, in addition to chicken, duck and fish for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Xia directly made a big hot pot, washed a few baskets of greens, except for the two old people at home, they are all children with long bodies, one can eat more than the other, and they are not afraid of not eating at all.
The family watched the gala on the TV, and during the countdown, from old to young, Li Xia gave big red envelopes one by one.
A lot of money was invested in the early stage of Rinxia, although there are sales channels of Zhou's leather goods, but the marketing and publicity in the early stage are costs, and now the book is still a loss, but with the sales of Rinxia in the past two months, it will not take long to turn losses into profits.
The money in Li Xia's hand is the factory's dividend this year, and her design fee, the factory has left a part of the liquid funds in the books, and Li Xia has distributed more than 60,000 yuan this year.
After the college entrance examination, Li Xia is ready to withdraw part of the factory, and after going to college, she only has so much energy, in addition to studying and Rin Xia and management, most of it has to be put on investigating the truth of her father's death, and she can't share it with the factory.
Now that the factory is developing rapidly, her role is infinitely smaller, and then she occupies so much share, sooner or later someone will be impatient, Li Xia is very grateful for the help she received from Guo Shunshun and Aunt Guo when her career started, and she didn't want to affect the feelings of several people because of such disputes.
After the year, she will talk to Guo Shunshun and ask Guo Shunshun to keep more money in his hand, ready to take over the part she transferred, presumably he will be very happy.
Guo Shunshun has the least shares, and some things are not so justifiable, Li Xia hopes that he can have more say in the matter, and can completely control the factory in his hands, and not be constrained by the Du family.
"Thank you, sister!" Li Nan received a big red envelope, and his eyes were shining.
Although Tao Ran thought about receiving most of it to study, he was still ready to move when he received the red envelope, wanting to see how much money was in it, and he also wanted to take away the red envelope in Tao Tao's hand.
When the money arrives in his hands, he can make money, he can go to buy the goods and sell them in the commissary next door, and in Tao Tao's hands, he must have contributed all to the commissary next door in vain.
"Second brother, you can spend your own money however you want, you can't beat Taotao's idea!" Li Yang saw through Tao Ran's plan at a glance and immediately protected Tao Tao.
Tao Tao was originally beautiful, but when she was reminded, she immediately became vigilant, she pondered for a few seconds, and handed the red envelope to Li Nan, "Big brother, you keep it for me, don't give it to the second brother." ”
“……??” Tao Ran.
Li Nan burst out laughing, and directly reached out to take Tao Tao's red envelope, "Okay, the eldest brother will keep an account for you, and if you want to spend money, you can apply with the eldest brother." ”
"Okay." Tao Tao nodded heavily, then wrinkled his nose, and snorted softly at Tao Ran, "Second brother took my money away, and he won't be able to come back for a long, long time!" ”
Tao Ran glared angrily, and reached out to scratch Tao Tao's armpit, "You little white-eyed wolf!" Does the second brother usually spend less money on you? ”
Tao Tao was very afraid of itching, even if she was wearing thick cotton clothes, she was itching all over the place, laughing, and finally ran behind her grandmother, only to escape, she made a grimace at Tao Ran, "That's half of the second brother." ”
She's still very generous.
"Don't do it!" Tao Ran snorted and twisted his face away.
Seeing that he was "angry", Tao Tao took it a little seriously, and immediately became anxious, and asked for the red envelope from Li Nan, and ran over to coax him, "It's all for you, it's all for you." ”
Tao Ran took the red envelope in his hand and was immediately happy, "This is good!" ”
Tao Tao realized that she had been deceived, and immediately puffed up her little face, chasing Tao Ran and wanting to come back, where would Tao Ran give it to her now, and tease her to run all over the house.
"Big brother!" Tao Tao was aggrieved and found Li Nan.
Li Nan stood up and looked at Tao Ran, Tao Ran glared at Tao Tao, and returned the red envelope to Li Nan, but unexpectedly Li Nan accepted the red envelope, but what he said was something else, "Actually, I got up and called you to set off firecrackers, go, Yangyang, Taotao, let's set off firecrackers." ”
“……!” Tao Ran, so angry.
Li Xia watched them make trouble, and her heart was extremely satisfied and peaceful, and she looked out the window at the night illuminated by the festival lights.
I just don't know how long this peace will last.
