During the Spring Festival, Li wanted to take turns off for four days.

The company took care of her from other places, and her parents were not in good health, so they arranged to be on duty on the fourth day of junior high school.

Li Xiang bought a pair of leather shoes and an orange down jacket for his mother a month in advance, thinking that this color was young and foreign to wear, so he bought a pair of leather knee pads and two bottles of liquor for his father.

She also bought a lot of New Year's goods.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Xiang carried a large bag and a small bag to the station for the first train in town.

The station is overcrowded.

There was a long queue to buy tickets and wait for the bus, and everyone was like an arrow.

When she got home, it was nearly noon.

After lunch, I helped my parents clean up and hang lanterns in couplets.

"Your third cousin Li Yan is getting married, and I pulled the certificate last month, and I will have a wedding wine after the New Year," Li Xiang's mother said.

"She's only 22 years old, why are you getting married so early?"

"The other party's parents are urging them to get married and hold their grandchildren."

"Oh"

"What about you? If you have a boyfriend, bring it back to us and show it. ”

"Mom, where do I have the time to fall in love now, I'm very busy with work."

"No matter how busy you are, you always have to get married."

"Okay, good, I'll try to find it, I'll try to find it, and I'll bring it back for you to walk if I find it."

.......

In the afternoon, the family went to grandma's house.

My father has 6 brothers and sisters, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, I have to meet at my grandmother's house.

The eldest aunt's daughter Du Xi and her husband drove a BMW sedan back and parked outside the yard, and several people looked strange and chattered around the car.

"This car is so luxurious, I haven't sat in such a high-end car, Duxi, you are so capable, this car costs a lot of money?" The fifth aunt said.

"Let's take you for a ride tomorrow, and after completing the formalities, it will cost more than 800,000."

"So expensive? I can't make so much money in my life, tomorrow I will take your car to Linxian to see the lanterns, Li thought, you will drive one back to pick us up for a long time. ”

"It's so expensive, I can't afford it." Li Xiang replied astringently.

"You've been in the provincial capital for a few years, where the salary is so high, and there are many rich people, and you haven't found one yet?"

"People are taking the university entrance examination now, and they don't have the heart to think about that." Li Xiang's father said a little unhappily.

"What kind of university are you going to, and what's the use of studying? It's not that your sister Du Xi hasn't read any books, if you don't find such a good husband, I look at you, you don't have that blessed life, you have been since you were a child. ”

"You... You, shut up, don't look down on flat people, you just wait for your Liu Wei to give you happiness. ”

The fifth aunt completely angered Li Xiang's father.

"What's wrong with my Liu Wei? What's wrong? He will definitely be stronger than Li Xiang when he grows up. ”

......

If Grandma hadn't come out to stop it, it is estimated that the fifth aunt and the ideal father would have to fight.

Li Xiang would hear similar cynicism every time he celebrated the New Year, which did not affect her mood at all.

It's just that in order to maintain her, my father often works against the fifth aunt.

Sister Du Xi went to work outside before graduating from high school, met her current husband, divorced, and has a son who is only a few years younger than Sister Du Xi.

Now Sister Du Xi is at home every day, and she eats at night either for her cousin-in-law or to add food.

When I got home, the family of three cleaned up and watched the Spring Festival Gala in the living room.

The sound of firecrackers outside was deafening.

"Don't take your fifth aunt's words to heart, she just has a mouth like that," Dad said as he peeled an apple for Li Xiang.

"I didn't pay attention to it, I'm used to it."

"Her Liu Wei, if she doesn't discipline her well, what will she do in the future? It's hard for us to take care of it. ”

"What's wrong with him?"

"Now in junior high school, I started smoking and fighting in groups."

"Oh, cousin is so unpleasant."

"Your mother and I just hope that you don't suffer and be bullied outside, and you want to be happy yourself."

"Hmm."

"Finding a boyfriend is not measured by money, you have to get along, otherwise you will have a hard time in the future."

"I know, I'm going to find someone like you did to my mom, hehe."

"Come, eat apples."

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Xiang received dozens of New Year's messages on his mobile phone.

She was struggling with whether to send a message to Manager Chen, and it was normal for her subordinates to send a congratulatory text message to their superiors.

But because of the rumors of my colleagues, I was at a loss.

I don't know if Manager Chen has heard those ugly rumors.

"Ding" mobile phone text again.

"Say goodbye to the remarkable achievements of yesterday, ushered in a hopeful tomorrow, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, the administrative personnel department Chen Mo to give you a New Year's greetings, I wish you and your family good health, family health."

Li Xiang was lying on the sofa, smiling and staring at the text message he had just received from Manager Chen on his mobile phone, thinking: "What about returning returnees, sending a New Year's text message is not the same soil, there is no novelty, and it is still sent in groups." ”

But she was still mentally happy, and replied with a "received".

For a few days off, Li Xiang read books at home.

She didn't go to visit relatives, nor did she ask classmates to play, and when she was tired of watching, she chatted with her parents.

My mother prepared a table of meals for every meal, and Li Xiang ate the braised pork that he had in mind.
