Maybe it was Xi Yidi's words that played a role last time, or maybe Xi Yizheng's T-shirt revolution brought a positive effect on Yinglai Junior High School, in short, after the summer vacation, no one commented on Xi Yizheng at will, whether it was her grades, or her clothes, of course, she didn't care about the whispers behind her. So, she lived a very comfortable life in the next junior high school. The monthly exam has always been in the top 10 of the grade level, and if you are interested in taking the first place, you will not fall below the top 10 if you are not interested. She still practices her handicraft on weekdays, goes to training classes on weekends to learn new dishes, and comes back to practice a Xi's meal for her family.

Winter in Beijing comes early. Snowflakes begin to rise in early November. This is a disaster for Xi Yizheng, who has not experienced such a low temperature winter in the previous two lives, and the Xuan bracelet is like spring all year round. There is heating at home and at school, but you have to go to and from school. So, all winter, she wrapped herself tightly every time she went out. Seeing that she had become so afraid of the cold, Xi's mother thought it was the sequelae caused by the accident, and she was distressed. I bought her the most expensive and warm down jacket, and she also added a homemade silk cotton jacket and silk cotton pants to it. On such a cold day, she gave up her cooking training on the weekend, and stayed at home until the beginning of the winter vacation, where her family was reading books and cooking food; When the family is not there, they go to the Xuan Bang to soak in the hot springs and tailor clothes. Life was also very pleasant.

Xi Yizheng had a very warm time in the first Spring Festival in this world. On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Xi family drove to the old house where Old Man Xi lived. The Xi family's old house is not in Beijing, but in the ancient city of Baoding, which is more than an hour's drive from Beijing. Xi Jiazu has been engaged in the silk industry since the Ming Dynasty, including the weaving and sales of silk. When he went to Xi's parents and grandparents, he registered the "Xitai" silk line. However, due to family policies and personnel problems, Xitai Silk Company has always been entrenched in Baoding, and has not gone to the country or even the world. The silk industry in Baoding is not very famous in China, so the development of Xitai is very limited. However, although Xitai Silk has never been among the top 50 silk enterprises in the country, it has no competitors in Baoding.

Xi Yaozhi (Xi's father) was admitted to Peking University that year, and then went to graduate school, studied for a doctorate, stayed in Beijing to engage in archaeological work and became a family, which made Mr. Xi feel embarrassed. Later, Xi Yidi was poached and inherited by his mother's family when he first entered his freshman year, Xi Yidi not only had no interest in business, but was also seen by the National Special Operations Group in his first year of junior high school and signed a contract for training, which can be regarded as embarking on the road of military and politics. These made Old Man Xi grit his teeth with hatred. As early as a few years ago, he wanted to give up the position of president of Xitai to his eldest son Xi Guangzhi to inherit, and he would be better off living a better life after retirement. However, Xi Guangzhi's personality is cowardly, and it is okay to do some office work, but it is definitely not suitable for decision-making. Therefore, when it comes to major events, it is still up to Mr. Xi to take the idea. Fortunately, the eldest grandson, Xi Yizheng's cousin, Xi Yichen, is still outstanding, so after graduating from university, he entered Xitai and was personally trained by Mr. Xi. Today, Xi Tai is in power by Xi Yichen, who is only 27 years old.

However, Xi Yizheng was not very impressed by his uncle's family. After all, they only came to visit once during the hospitalization, and it was only a one-sided relationship and a few words for Xi Yizheng. So she doesn't have any right to her uncle's family. Later, I learned from Xi's mother that my father also had 20% of Xitai's shares. Dividends are distributed every year. However, Xitai's annual net profit is not very high, and I heard that last year was the best in the past, and it was only 2 million. Xi Yizheng pouted when he heard it, the net profit or something, it's all for outsiders to see. However, since his father didn't have the slightest thought about the Xi family's ancestral property, the eldest brother and the younger brother also had their own futures, and they would not have anything to do with Xi Tai at all. Therefore, Xi Yizheng has no interest in whether Xitai's sales are good or not, and whether the profits are high. Just like my mother said, what I get every year is even a year's extra money for the Xi family.

In the midst of all his thoughts, the Xi family's old house soon arrived. The old house of the Xi family, which originally belonged to the suburbs, actually occupied a corner of the center of Baoding New District after the replanning of Baoding, and covered an area of 5 acres, with two houses, the old and the new. The old one was built by Mr. Xi when he was young, and he lived with his wife and son at that time. Now that his wife has passed away, the younger son has gone to the capital to develop, and the eldest son's family has moved out with a large population, and now he lives there alone. Although it has been 50 years old, it is still very well preserved, and it is repaired and renovated every year, and it does not look as old as the actual age.

The original Xi family's old house was actually only more than 1 acre of land, which is now the two-entry house where the old man lives and a little green belt around it. Later, Xi Guangzhi got married and had children, and the population increased, Xi Guangzhi's wife improvised Xi Yizheng's aunt Wang Wan was too crowded, and took advantage of Xi Tai's good development and the land price was not high, so Xi Guangzhi was forced to expand 4 acres and build a villa, and the family moved to a new villa to live. Old Man Xi didn't object in his mouth, but he was still very unhappy in his heart. When he was old, he was afraid of being lonely, but the son listened to his wife and didn't listen to his old man, so he gave up. And Xi Guangzhi's original intention was to demolish the old mansion and build a large villa separately and live with Mr. Xi, but Mr. Xi refused. This is the house where he and his wife have lived together for more than 30 years, and now that his wife is gone, the house is still there, at least there is a thought, if the house is gone, he will not be more lonely in his heart. What's more, they are all in a big house, and the straight-line distance from the old house to the new house is more than 100 meters, so it can be used as exercise. As a result, it became the way of life it is today.

On this trip, the Xi family of five sat in Xi Yixiao's SUV, which was spacious and comfortable. The rear carriage was full of New Year's gifts prepared by the Xi family, including fruit baskets prepared by Xi Yizheng. She bought a few bamboo fruit baskets, assembled the fruit in the bracelet, and then took them out and told her family that they had bought them from a fruit store. The family is used to her always spontaneously purchasing all kinds of fruits, not to mention, the fruits she bought are really not ordinary fresh and delicious, so now the Xi family's fruit purchases are under the management of Xi Yizheng. She was happy to comply.

The car drove directly to the old house where Mr. Xi lived. After parking, the group entered the hall.

"Grandpa!" Xi Yizheng and several people shouted at Old Man Xi at the same time.

"Here we go! Quick, drink some hot ginger tea to warm up first. When Old Man Xi saw that his youngest son's family had arrived, he couldn't close his mouth happily. beckoned the maid to bring them freshly boiled ginger tea. Then, Xi Yixiao and Xi Yidi began to play against each other, and Xi's parents and the old man talked about homely things. Xi Yizheng bored visiting the room furnishings of the old mansion. But I didn't dare to go out, it was too cold outside. Soon, Xi Guangyi's family also arrived. The uncle and wife of the Xi family and Xi Yichen and Xi Yiqing. Because Xi Yizheng was still shocked by his rebirth when he was hospitalized, he didn't have much impression at all. This is the first time I've really talked to them. The attitude of the eldest uncle and aunt is okay, at least they are polite to Xi Yizheng's family on the surface. However, between the lines, Xi Yizheng heard the eldest aunt's disdain for him. It is estimated that the old man Xi praised the silk summer dress he gave him, plus he often showed off in front of Xi Yiqing, and the eldest aunt emphasized a few words in the chat: Silk, Xi Tai himself does this, if you want to wear it, just go to the factory to order it. I still need Xi Yizheng to give favors.

The atmosphere in the room instantly froze, as if the temperature had dropped by several degrees. Xi's mother was so angry that she wanted to refute, but was stopped by Xi Yizheng. She didn't know that Old Man Xi's ancestral product was silk. If she knew, she wouldn't have chosen silk materials, although she firmly believed that the silk fabric that she had stored in the bracelet in her previous life was the best, and even the whole Xitai couldn't find a single one. But she didn't bother to fight with the other party. Lose it! However, she ignored it and did not represent Old Man Xi.

"Daughter-in-law of Light! What do you mean by that? Could it be that Zheng Zheng gave me a dress made by himself and wiped Xi Tai's face? Old Man Xi was furious. He has not been very satisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law. Back then, it was she who insisted on moving out of the old house and setting up a new house, and later the eldest son became the general manager of Xitai, and she wanted to give her younger son 20% of the shares, and she instigated the eldest son to make trouble, saying that Xi Yaozhi had no contribution to Xitai, how could he occupy 20% of the shares for nothing? What's wrong with no contribution! The ancestral business of the Xi family can be enjoyed as long as it is the descendants of the Xi family. Even if Xi Yaozhi is not in Xitai, who would dare to say that he is not given 20% of the shares? He didn't talk to his youngest son about this, otherwise according to his youngest son's behavior, he would definitely not accept dividends if he knew about it. Now, even her little granddaughter made a dress to show her filial piety, and she still had to be scolded by her. Silk! What's wrong with silk? Could it be that Xi Tai makes silk by himself, and you don't wear other clothes you bought? He glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law, I see that you are wearing all the goods you bought outside! The more Old Man Xi thinks about it, the more angry he becomes! After drinking the tea in the cup in one go, he put the cup on the table, which frightened everyone a lot.

"Dad! Chinese New Year, what are you doing! I think my sister-in-law is just talking casually. Dad Xi couldn't sit still, and took the lead in speaking to appease the old man. Don't be angry about the New Year. After all, they are almost 80 years old.

"Yes, Dad, I'll talk about Wanru when I go back, don't be angry." Xi Guangzhi also stepped forward to comfort him, and glanced at his wife by the way, Wang Wanru pursed his lips, but still said a few good words to the old man.

"I'm not partial to anyone, they are all grandchildren of the Xi family, and there is nothing to help. But then again, the girl is three years older than the Zheng, has she ever shown filial piety to me as a grandfather? Old Man Xi sighed and said something that made Xi Yiqing jealous of Xi Yizheng from now on. Xi Yizheng thought bad when he heard it, and when the old man said this, he was determined to make a complete bond with this cousin who didn't treat him very well.

Sure enough, Xi Yiqing secretly gave Xi Yizheng a white eye, but he was still well-behaved in front of people. Xi Yizheng couldn't cry or laugh. As for it! Now it's a contradiction to send clothes by yourself. It seems that I am still not low-key enough.

As a result, after such a fuss, a reunion dinner was not interesting. Of course, polite words on the surface are still indispensable. The red envelopes prepared by the elders for the juniors have not been canceled because of this. After lunch, taking advantage of Old Man Xi's lunch break, Xi Yao's family and everyone said goodbye and rushed back to Beijing, and they had to go to Old Man Fang's house for a reunion in the evening. This is one of the requirements that Old Man Fang promised his daughter Fang Chunxi to marry Xi Yaozhi, and the second is that one of their children must inherit the Fang family's property. In this regard, it is okay for Old Man Xi not to agree, he still has his eldest son by his side, so he has to agree. Therefore, every year after that, in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Xi family would first go back to the Xi family's old house early in the morning to reunite with Old Man Xi, have a reunion dinner together at noon, and rush back to the Fang house in the afternoon to have an evening reunion dinner with Old Man Fang and his wife. This habit has been maintained for 19 years.

On the way back to Beijing, Xi Yixiao still drove, Xi's father and Xi's mother dozed off on the back of the chair, Xi Yidi and Xi Yizheng were twins, and they tacitly took out red envelopes to count the money. Xi Yizheng was curious, and it was the first time she took such a thick red envelope to the touch. In my memory, the red envelopes I got in my last life were only a few hundred yuan at most. And it has to be taken back by the parents afterwards.

"Wow, this uncle is very generous! I actually wrapped 1,000 yuan! Xi Yidi raised the red envelope in one of his hands and said to Xi Yixiao, who was driving.

"That's because your eldest brother and my share are gone!" Xi Yixiao glanced at his little brother. He turned 18 last year. This year's Chinese New Year, sure enough, the eldest aunt said that 18 years old is considered an adult, and the red envelope will not be given. Only grandpa still wrapped one for himself, saying that he didn't work yet, no matter how big or small.

"Zheng, how many are you?" Xi Yidi turned around with interest and asked Xi Yizheng.

"Well, the eldest aunt gave the same as you. I haven't counted what my grandfather gave. Xi Yizheng said with a smile. It's always good to have money to take. Although he is not short of money. Who spends a lot of money? What's more, she is going to learn to make wine next. Look at the introduction on the Internet, good brewing tools and everything are very expensive.

"Grandpa wrapped this number for me!" Xi Yidi stretched out a palm and compared the brother and sister, Xi Yizheng smiled, and his own should be the same. It seems that the old man still has a lot of money in his private house, and he has to give out a lot of red envelopes every year, which can be a year for ordinary families.

Since their daughter got married, Fang Lipei and his wife have moved to a courtyard house not far from Tiananmen Square. The yard is not very big, but big enough for two people. The family hired a cook and a maid to clean and do the laundry. Mrs. Fang doesn't know how to cook, she is a typical daughter of the old society, and her fingers didn't touch the spring water when she was a child. After marrying Fang Lipei, he began to involve housework, and after giving birth to his daughter Fang Chunxi, he cultivated his daughter wholeheartedly. Part-time workers are hired for housework.

The location of the square house is very good, close to Tiananmen Square, and it is a corner when you go out. The people who live around are all old Beijing, and it is quite comfortable to go out to drink tea together, play chess, and run around each other.

When the Xi family arrived at the Fang Mansion, it was almost 4 o'clock, and in the Chinese New Year's Eve, there were almost no pedestrians on the road except for the occasional whizzing car rushing home. The sky began to snow like goose feathers. Xi Yizheng looked at the snowy posture and knew that he would have to nest at home again tomorrow. However, there was not much shopping on the streets at the beginning of the Spring Festival. I have to wait until the Lantern Festival to get lively.

When Mr. and Mrs. Fang saw that their daughter's family had arrived, they were busy asking the maid to prepare hot water and let them wash their faces.

Xi Yizheng is much more relaxed at his grandparents' house than at his grandfather's. Maybe the Fang family is because of Xi's mother's daughter. There is no war without competition for favor. Xi Yizheng said secretly.

The family gathered in the living room to chat. Xi Yizheng finally found that he had become a topic of conversation. From the frightening accident, to their increasingly refined cooking skills, to their own rapid achievements, and the clothes they made for the two old men, they can talk for a long time. When she arrived at Fang's house, Xi's mother's chatterbox also opened, and she kept making her parents laugh, and by the way, she didn't forget to be proud of Xi Yizheng's achievements. Xi Yizheng held his forehead, he was almost 100 years old in his last two lives, and he was reborn on the head of a 13-year-old girl.

After a sumptuous dinner, everyone watched Xi Yidi excitedly set off fireworks in the yard, and the Xi family said goodbye to the two elders of the Fang family and went back to their own house. In the car, Xi Yidi happily counted the red envelopes given to him by his grandmother despite the white eyes of Xi's mother, and after counting the palms of Xi Yizheng, Xi Yizheng pursed his lips and smiled. My own brother is so much fun.

Back downstairs at home, Xi Yixiao put them down and went back to his apartment. There's no room for him here. Xi Yizheng glanced at his eldest brother pitifully, Xi Yixiao rubbed her hair funny, "I'll come over tomorrow for lunch, wait for Xiaozheng to cook a big meal." The corners of Xi Yizheng's raised lips instantly collapsed. The crowd laughed.
