The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and gongs and drums welcome the new year.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Xiaohu's family sat in the courtyard with Gu Qinxin, eating pastries, tasting tea, watching the next people keep lighting firecrackers in the middle of the courtyard, and the sky kept exploding gorgeous patterns.

Looking at the fireworks and firecrackers in front of him and eating the snacks on the table, Wang Xiaohu was in a trance, as if he had returned to the time of the New Year in his previous life, when the family was reunited, happily setting off fireworks and firecrackers, and time seemed to be constantly overlapping.

"Brother, why are you crying!" Wang Xiaohua suddenly said loudly, at this time, everyone noticed Wang Xiaohu's demeanor, and found that his face was already full of tears, and they all looked a little worried.

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohu came back from his distant thoughts, found that his face was already full of tears, and explained casually:

"I'm a little happy, the family can have a happy reunion together, and finally realize a previous dream, the family no longer worries about food and clothing, and can do what they want to do!"

After listening to his son's explanation, Wang Daniu and his wife were also embarrassed, Wang Daniu said with emotion: "Yes, half a life has been wasted and nothing has been accomplished, but fortunately, with Xiaohu you, our family can live a life without worrying about food and clothing, which is something that I only dared to think about in my dreams before!" ”

Tian Xia touched the head of her daughter in her arms, and also said with some sighs: "Yes, I finally have a good life!" Sometimes it always feels like it's all fake, it's just a dream we don't want to wake up from! ”

Hearing his mother's words, Wang Xiaohu's eyes looked through the fireworks exploding in the sky in the distance, looking at the boundless night sky beyond, his expression was cold, and he said silently in his heart: "Unfortunately, this is not a dream, but it really happened, and you may never go back to the past, you can only struggle forward step by step!" ”

Gu Qinxin looked at Wang Xiaohu's family's mood a little sluggish, and couldn't help but say: "Life is impermanent, we should cherish the present!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohu laughed and said: "Haha, what Mr. Gu said makes sense, as long as we can live, it doesn't matter what else, and now we are living well!" At least I have some foundation in this Qinghe County, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking! ”

Wang Daniu also said with a smile: "Hehe, that's of course, living here is much more nourishing, much stronger than in the past in that broken mountain village, only in this way can life not be in vain."

Tian Xia listened to her husband's words, rolled her eyes and said: "Hmph, you live a very moist life, don't think I don't know, you go out to fool around with some so-called fox friends every day, and you come back very late with the smell of wine and fat powder!" ”

Wang Daniu, who was said to be the most important, immediately began to explain:

"Well, isn't that all social? People are all well-known figures in the county, but they are not fooling around, most of us are talking about some business dealings, otherwise how to take care of so many industries at home! I'm busy every day."

Since Wang Xiaohu has purchased many industries, Wang Daniu has used the excuse of checking and managing shops, facades and the like, and goes out every day to find some so-called big people to go to the place of fireworks to drink, and everyone is respectful and respectful in Wang Xiaohu's face.

After Wang Xiaohu heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, and asked in his heart: "Is this still his somewhat wooden father Wang Daniu?" I couldn't help but look up and take a closer look, and found that Wang Daniu was indeed a little oily, and at first he thought it was the food in the county! It turned out to be stealing.

I felt a little upset for my mother Tian Xia, so I said: "Dad, since you are so busy, don't worry about it, you are blessed to come to the city, but you are not burdened!" Then he turned to the butler not far away and said:

"Lao Bai, in the future, all the shops will be taken care of by you, and it will be good to report to my mother once a month, understand?"

When the housekeeper heard this, he said with a serious face: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely manage all the properties well and report to my wife regularly every month!" In fact, he is also managing, and Wang Daniu only goes once in a while, after all, Wang Daniu is illiterate, let alone can settle accounts.

Looking at the eye-catching housekeeper, Wang Xiaohu nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Tian Xia: "Mother, in the future, let the housekeeper report the accounts to you every month, so that Dad can be free, so that he can accompany you every day, you see how it is"!

Tian Xia, who knew that her son was good for herself, also nodded and said, "That's okay!" Can't be too tired of your dad! ”

Wang Da Niu looked at his wife and son who played double reeds, and he couldn't say anything with bitterness! It's a pity that his daughter Wang Xiaohua also hit him and said:

"Hee-hee! I want my dad to take me to play every day! I used to say that I was busy every time and didn't take me to play, and I knew to let me read all day long, otherwise I would just write, and I didn't care about it at all! ”

Wang Daniu wanted to refute a few words and find some excuses for himself, but when he thought that the economic power was in the hands of his son and wife, he died down, and he could only slowly figure it out in the future, after all, his son's reputation is also very useful.

After helping his mother, Wang Xiaohu, who was a little proud in his heart, didn't know that Wang Daniu, who was sitting next to him, already had the idea of pit his son. At this time, a lot of fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky outside, and the people in the courtyard also began to light firecrackers non-stop.

"Spring has arrived! Spring is here! "There was a lively sound outside, announcing the arrival of spring.

"Haha, a new year and a new atmosphere, everyone in the house, a red envelope of twenty taels of silver per person! Steward, take the red envelope! Wang Xiaohu laughed and announced everyone's New Year's benefits, and then asked the steward who had already prepared the red envelope to bring the red envelope.

When everyone heard this, they all smiled on their faces, and then bowed to Wang Xiaohu in unison: "Thank you young master, I wish the young master a bright future and a safe future."

"Well, get up! Happy New Year to everyone! Wang Xiaohu shouted, and then together with his parents, he took the red envelopes handed over by the steward and began to distribute them to everyone one by one.

After everyone received the red envelope, they all sincerely wished: "I wish the young master, Mrs., and master a happy New Year", and then took the red envelope and happily busted themselves with their own affairs.

After everyone received the red envelope, they continued to be lively for half an hour, and then slowly dispersed, some returned to their own residences in the house, and some left the house and returned to their homes outside, leaving only Wang Xiaohu's family and Gu Qinxin, as well as a few subordinates.

Wang Xiaohu and everyone returned to the lobby from the courtyard, around the stove, preparing to keep the New Year, when he heard his sister suddenly say:

"Brother, I'm so sleepy! I want to go back to sleep! ”

Seeing my sister's sleepy eyes, she was really a little sleepy, after all, she was only a seven-year-old child, so she said to her mother: "Mother, why don't you go to sleep first!" It's good for me to keep the New Year alone, and Xiaohua is also sleepy! ”

When Tian Xia heard this, she glanced at her daughter, thought about it for a while, and then said, "Okay!" Let's go to bed first, Xiaohu and Qin Xin will keep the New Year together! After speaking, he didn't give Wang Xiaohu time to speak, so he hugged his daughter and pulled her husband away.

Wang Xiaohu, who was a little dumbfounded, watched his mother leave in a hurry, and then said to Gu Qinxin next to him with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Miss Gu, why don't you go back and rest!" I'm a martial arts practitioner, and I'm fine if I don't sleep for a few days! ”

Looking at Wang Xiaohu, who looked a little unnatural, Gu Qinxin said: "It's okay, although I was a little squeamish when I was a child, I have also experienced a lot when I grow up, and I also do things like vigil every year."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "That, okay!" Trouble Miss Gu! After speaking, he said to the man at the door:

"You two go and get all the futon from my room, and then you all go down and rest!"

When the subordinate heard this, his face was full of joy, and then he promised: "Yes, young master", and then the two of them went to Wang Xiaohu's room to get the futon together.
