It's a hard time.

The hardest thing is missing family.

Every festive season, when it comes to the Chinese New Year's Eve, if there is no family company, even the strongest person will be inexplicably sad.

It's okay during the day, with Lei Luo accompanying him to patrol the streets, at least he won't be lonely, and when he returns home from work, Zhou Wenqiang can't help but think of his parents, wife and daughter in another world.

Are you all right now?

Pushing open the window, looking at the busy people in Dongtou Village, bursts of firecrackers and bright fireworks, but the more lively it was outside, the more empty and lonely Zhou Wenqiang felt.

Lei Luo, you have no conscience, and you didn't come to see me during the New Year, what kind of friend are you!

After complaining about Lei Luo, Zhou Wenqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was really out of shape, how to oppose and blame Ah Luo, this era is not a Chinese New Year's Eve 'string year', that is a very unlucky thing.

Even Lei Luo, who is in love with adultery, is not going to see Ah Xia tonight, and if he wants to meet, it will be on the morning of the first day of the new year.

Chinese New Year's Eve without relatives and the Spring Festival Gala is really difficult, Zhou Wenqiang is drunk for the first time since he came to this world, when he realized that he was drunk, he hurriedly poured a bowl of herbal tea, he felt better, and then fell asleep in a daze.

It wasn't until the sound of firecrackers sounded again on the first day of the new year that Zhou Wenqiang seemed to come back to his senses and thought that he should go out to pay New Year's greetings to the neighbors in Dongtou Village.

Respect for the New Year, even if there is not much friendship on weekdays, you should go to pay New Year's greetings, this is the rule of this era, but also the human feelings of this era, compared to the indifferent 21st century, this habit is like gold in Zhou Wenqiang's eyes.

Lei Luo still has a conscience, and when Zhou Wenqiang was about to go out, this kid knocked on the door with Ah Xia.

"Cuong, Happy New Year."

"Brother Qiang, happy New Year......"

Lei Luo changed into new clothes today, and he looked like a groom official happily.

Ah Xia looked like she had escaped from home, the wrinkles on her clothes hadn't had time to be ironed, and her hair was a little messy.

Her face was flushed, but the familiar little face refused to lift up, either staring at her own feet or Lei Luo's feet, like a little white rabbit who had done something wrong.

This is the second time Zhou Wenqiang has seen Ah Xia, and every time he sees her face that resembles Goddess Qiu, he can't help but sigh at Lei Luo's good fortune.

"Ah Luo, Ah Xia, Happy New Year."

"Ah Qiang, Happy New Year."

"Brother Qiang, Happy New Year."

The three peers celebrated each other's New Year's greetings and went to a nearby neighbor's house to pay New Year's greetings.

There are nearly 20,000 residents in Dongtou Village, so it is naturally impossible to visit them one by one, mainly choosing neighbors who live close to each other and have elderly people at home to visit, and the rest of the villagers at most say good New Year to each other when they meet.

Visited dozens of neighbors along the way, and there were many Chang Ji Shi not far in front, Ah Xia suddenly stopped, lowered her head and grabbed the corner of her clothes desperately: "Brother Luo, or ...... Why don't you forget it?

Lao Dou only recognizes money in his eyes, and says that even if you become a sir, you are still a poor ghost.

He...... He doesn't like me being with you. ”

Lei Luo also stopped, frowning and not speaking, obviously a little hesitant.

Zhou Wenqiang understood that Lei Luo and Ah Xia should have said that they would pay New Year's greetings to Chang Ji together today, and for this reason, Ah Xia also escaped from home first, just to ease the relationship with Chang Ji on the first day of the new year through this arrangement.

It's just that when it came to the end, both of them were a little withdrawn.

"Arlo, manly man, what do you frown at when it's time for you to make up your mind?

This level will be passed sooner or later, and you can still learn from the ostrich to dodge for a lifetime?

If Chang Ji can accept that you are with Ah Xia, it would be the best, if he refuses to accept it, you have to work harder, have strength, and are you afraid that he will not agree to your marriage with Ah Xia?

You are now a sir, raise your head, let's go to Chang Kee together!

No matter how twisted and twisted, even I will look down on you! ”

"Ah Qiang, you are right, if you don't go today, I will look down on myself!

Axia, let's go! ”

Lei Luo and Ah Xia did a lot of calculations, but they still missed a little.

On the first day of the new year, others may be in a good mood, but Chang Kee is the opposite.

This day is a day of mutual New Year's greetings and family reunions, and the several mahjong tables placed in front of the store in Changji are not patronized at all, and the fat customers who loved to find Beimei through him in the past have also disappeared.

The money is gone, and Chang Ji is now angry to see everyone.

Seeing Ah Xia and Lei Luo walking together, before Lei Luo could speak, Chang Ji glared at the pair of goldfish eyes: "Ah Xia, you are a ruined girl, you are not at home early in the morning, I know that you are going to meet this poor ghost."

If you want to give me New Year's greetings and let your sir province be saved, I can't stand it! ”

A basin of cold water was poured hard in front of Lei Luo's feet, and Chang Ji sneered again and again: "Lei Luo, don't think that you are qualified to soak my daughter if you become a sir!"

I'm going to kill you!

Others will make money as sir and take rickshaws when they live in western-style buildings and go out.

You are also a sir, but you can't even make money, you are a wreck!

Just rely on you, and you are also worthy of being my son-in-law, save you, I'm bah! ”

Lei Luo's face turned red: "Chang Ji, I am sincere to Ah Xia, I will be good to her!" ”

"Sir, you really can't figure out the situation?

You poor ghost who earns 110 yuan a month, what do you want to do for Ah Xia?

I raised my daughter, and I need money to eat and drink, okay, if you want to be good to her, bring the bride price first!

I'm not greedy, if I want to marry Ah Xia, I will take 50,000 yuan as a bride price, otherwise I don't have to talk about it! ”

"You ......"

Lei Luo's face changed miserably, the 50,000 yuan bride price is simply astronomical, let him grab it?

"What, can't you take it out?

If you don't have any money, get out!

Ah Xia, get out of here for me, mess with this poor boy again, beware of me breaking your legs! ”

"Chang Ji, it's too much, right?

50,000 Hong Kong dollars you know what it means, you can buy a western-style building in Hong Kong Island Region!

How can you make Arlo afford it? ”

Originally, Lei Luo and Ah Xia came forward to pay New Year's greetings to Changji and ease the relationship, Zhou Wenqiang stood behind the willow tree dozens of meters away and waited, he didn't want to give people like Changji New Year's greetings and say anything nice.

Now I couldn't listen to it anymore, so I turned out from behind the willow tree.

"Ha, it's Sir Zhou, how do you have time to come to me?

Happy New Year, Happy New Year, do you want to buy some New Year's goods, I have everything here.

Ah Xia, you dead girl, didn't you see Sir Zhou coming?

Don't hurry up and pour tea for Sir Zhou! ”

Seeing Zhou Wenqiang, Chang Ji suddenly smiled all over his face.

Now who doesn't know that Zhou Wenqiang is the richest man in Dongtou Village, and I heard that when he was in Huangzhukeng Poor School, Zhou Wenqiang once invited Inspector Liu Fu to dinner.

Young, handsome, rich and powerful, who doesn't think about Zhou Wenqiang, the fifth diamond king, who has a daughter in Dongtou Village now?

Zhou Wenqiang waved his hand and said: "Tea is free, Chang Ji, Ah Luo is my brother, and his business is my business."

And I know that he is sincere to Ah Xia, I'm afraid it's not good for you to make things difficult for him like this?

This upsets me. ”
