The thirtieth day of the lunar month was 1994.

When you open the corner of the curtain, it is already bright outside, and you can hear the sound of firecrackers coming from the neighbors' houses.

Why didn't anyone call me?

Yesterday, Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu went out to watch a movie, "Endless", and in laughter, the two spent a rare two-person world.

Since they have children and are busy with their respective jobs, they haven't gone out alone for a long time.

At the beginning, even Chen Xiaoxu didn't bother to mention it, and Gu Bei could only pretend to be confused in embarrassment.

I don't know what happened yesterday, I suddenly wanted to go to the movie with Chen Xiaoxu, and the two of them deliberately chose the one at 10 o'clock.

When I came back from watching the movie, it was already early in the morning.

"What time is it?"

Gu Bei's movement of getting up woke Chen Xiaoxu up, opened her eyes in a daze, and her body was still shrunk in the quilt, don't look at her as a Northeasterner, but she is extremely cold-tolerant, and it is the most difficult to endure in winter every year.

"It's half past seven!"

Chen Xiaoxu opened his eyes suddenly, then turned over and sat up, getting up violently, and his body was still a little shaking.

"All now? Why didn't anyone call us? ”

Gu Bei also wondered, got dressed, and when he arrived at the hall, he heard a noise outside.

Li Sufen and Wang Yuanxi, who came early, were already preparing breakfast.

"Let's go, my mother is busy cooking!"

Chen Xiaoxu agreed, quickly dressed, and then went to the kitchen, but before he could stay for half a minute, he was kicked out by the two mothers.

"Don't mess around!"

Looking at Chen Xiaoxu's aggrieved appearance, Gu Bei couldn't help but want to laugh.

Cooking skills will probably become a hard wound that will accompany her for the rest of her life.

"You're still laughing!"

Chen Xiaoxu walked over, kicked Gu Bei's leg, and then shook his head and went back to the house, when he came out, he had a towel around his neck, a basin in his hand, and a tooth jar.

Like Gu Bei, he took the water, squatted under the porch, and brushed his teeth with a grunt.

"Big brother, sister-in-law!"

Zhang Guorong helped Gu Nan to come over, and saw the two hurriedly greeting.

Gu Nan's condition doesn't look very good, the month is a little older, her pregnancy reaction is extraordinarily strong, the last two days have been a little better, some time ago it was almost what to eat and vomit, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight.

"Are you better?"

When he finished eating yesterday, Gu Nan smelled the smell of meat and began to feel nauseous again.

"Hmm!"

Gu Nan responded, his expression was still dazed, he walked to him, sat down against the pillar, and looked at Gu Bei and Chen Xiaoxu.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Nan squeezed out a smile, the little thing in her stomach was too tormenting, making her have no energy at all day long.

"Nothing, brother! We haven't fired a cannon yet! ”

Belch?

What happened to me, and I can still think about this?

What a kid who didn't grow up.

"Wait a minute."

As he spoke, he saw Gu Xiaowu and Chen Qiang coming over from the front yard with a large box of firecrackers.

Behind him were three smaller, chirping.

On the day of the New Year, the happiest people are children, and adults have long lost that interest.

"Guorong, help Nannan back to the house!"

Gu Xiaowu began to set up a formation in the courtyard with his in-laws, and the two probably wanted to put the word "fa", but they ended up making too many comparisons, so they became "shun" halfway.

That's good, and the new year will be smooth.

"Xiaoxue, do you know what this word is?"

Gu Xiaowu completed the masterpiece and began to show off with his granddaughter.

"Shun, I know."

Xiaoxue replied happily, although she had just entered kindergarten, Chen Xiaoxu had already begun to force her to read and write.

In his opinion, the most important task for children at this time is to play, in this life, the real carefree is only a few years, if even the right to play is deprived, the child is too pitiful.

But Chen Xiaoxu couldn't listen to it at all, and shouted something.

Don't let your child lose at the starting line.

Big sister!

Our children's starting line is already too far ahead of other children.

Not only is he far ahead, but he also has time to look back and see how far the other children have fallen, and show whether his running posture is good or not.

Alas......

Gu Bei couldn't convince Chen Xiaoxu, so he could only secretly take Xiaoxue out to spread a wild spot when he had time.

"Xiaoxue is awesome, she knows so many words."

As soon as Gu Xiaowu's words fell, he heard Xiaoxue say something.

"Grandpa! Why did you blow up Shun? If Shun is blown up, then our new year, won't it be smooth? ”

Belch......

For a while, everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

"Stinky girl, what are you talking about!"

Chen Xiaoxu was the first to react, and he burst out in an instant, and he was about to rush up to teach the bear child a lesson with toothpaste foam on his mouth.

"What for? What for? ”

Li Sufen ran out of the kitchen as soon as possible, and Wang Yuanxi also hurriedly stepped forward to pull his daughter.

"What do children know??"

"That's it, that's it!"

Xiaoxue hid behind her grandfather, and she was still provocative at Chen Xiaoxu.

"It's almost there! You are not allowed to hit children during the Chinese New Year, how old is Xiaoxue, what can you understand. ”

Li Sufen said, and picked up Xiaoxue, far away from Chen Xiaoxu.

Gu Bei subconsciously looked at Gu Nan, and it happened that Gu Nan also looked at him at this time, and the two brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and complained in their hearts about their mother's double standard.

When the two of them were young, they were beaten by the queen mother because they said the wrong thing during the Chinese New Year.

How did this come to her granddaughter, Comrade Li Sufen didn't even talk about the principles.

In the end, Gu Xiaowu and Chen Qiang took a long time to get the "Shun" firecracker array, but it was still destroyed, and several firecrackers were piled up horizontally.

Cracking sound......

A burst of gunpowder smoke cleared, filling the yard with the smell of sulfur.

"Let's eat!"

In the morning, it is still a classic eight-course dish, and the whole family sits together, lively and lively, which is the biggest expectation of adults for the Spring Festival - reunion.

After breakfast, Zhang Guorong helped Gu Nan to rest across the hospital, Chen Xiaoyang turned into the child king, took the three small ones, put down the chopsticks and ran away.

Chen Xiaoxu wants to go back to the house to make up for sleep, Gu Bei has an appointment today, and he made an appointment with Li Chengru and Ma San'er yesterday, and they will play cards together today.

The location was placed in Li Chengru's house, and after the divorce, he became completely alone, had two girlfriends, and broke up in a few days.

Li Chengru said that his personality was incompatible, and Gu Bei felt that it was completely because he had no money.

speculated on foreign exchange before, and lost all the money that Gu Bei had earned over the years, and in the end, this set of courtyards next to the Forbidden City was left.

He was also glad more than once that when he divorced, he gave his wife and children a lot of property, otherwise, he would not be able to find a grave if he really cried.

"Come, come, come, sit, sit!"

To Gu Bei's surprise, he also met Bai Lang in Li Cheng's Confucianism.

"Why didn't you go home for the New Year??"

If Gu Bei remembers correctly, Bai Lang is a southerner, and he was dug to the capital by Li Chengru and became the deputy general manager of Xiaoxue Food Co., Ltd.

"Home is right here!"

Bai Lang was talking awkwardly, and after listening to Li Chengru's explanation, Gu Bei knew that Bai Lang got married last year and married a local girl in the capital, and his daughter-in-law was now pregnant.

Belch......

He, as a boss, doesn't he care too much about his subordinates?

"Hurry up, let me tell you, I've been lucky since yesterday, and the money in my pocket is ready."

Ma San'er saw Gu Bei's embarrassment and hurriedly forked.

When the people arrived, the four of them sat down at the square table.

"Yo! Brother Li, your Eight Immortals table is good! ”

Gu Bei touched it carefully, and wanted to take a lighter to roast, Li Chengru saw it and quickly stopped it.

"Ancestor, your subordinates are merciful, the old objects in the Ming Chenghua period, the ones that flow out of the palace, it doesn't matter if you do it, if it is damaged, I have no place to cry."

Ooh!

Really?

I didn't pay attention just now, but hearing Li Chengru say this, Gu Bei was really a little bit attentive and looked at it carefully.

It is indeed different from the folk, the folk table of the Eight Immortals is not such a small size, look at the carvings on it, and indeed the master chef only accepts it.

But if you want to say that it is Ming Chenghua, it doesn't look like it!

"You are Kangqian at most, and you can't reach the middle of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Chengru was stunned when he heard this, this table was recently collected by him, and it cost more than 20,000 yuan, don't look at him speculating in foreign exchange, the bottom of the loss is lost, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, he always remembers Gu Bei's words.

Man has to leave a way out for himself.

So before being fooled, he left a sum for himself, even if he doesn't film now, that money is enough for him to be free for one or two decades.

"No, I've looked for several people, and they're all Chenghua, and there's lettering in the bottom corner of the table."

As he spoke, Li Chengru made a gesture to turn the table over.

Gu Bei hurriedly stopped: "Look, I can break it at a glance, but Kangqian's things are not bad, furniture is all craftsman's work, no matter how good it is, it doesn't matter, the age doesn't matter, I looked at this material, good wood, although it is not as good as red sandalwood and golden silk nan, but it is also a high-quality huanghuali, keep it, in another twenty years, this table can be worth seven figures." ”

it!!

Ma San'er on the side listened secretly, before Gu Bei took him to do business, he was doing drumming for a living, but unfortunately his eyesight was not at home, and he didn't have a few good things, so he could be blinded by foreigners and local bigwigs who didn't understand anything.

Listening to Gu Bei, a table can be worth seven figures, which is worth a lot!

"I'll have to touch two more today, good guy, such an expensive table, I can actually use it to play cards, and I can grow my face when I say it!!"

Hearing Ma San'er say this, several people laughed.

The tablecloth was laid, and the fierce battle officially began.

After eight laps in a row, the sky gradually got dark.

After playing the last hand, Gu Bei pushed the cards in front of him.

Break up!

Eight rounds of cards, lost more than 5,000, although compared to his net worth, this is nothing at all.

But the problem is that the pocket money Chen Xiaoxu gives every month is just a little.

Alas......

How can you explain when you go home!?

I lit a cigarette, got up and walked to the door, I don't know when, the snow fell again, and the yard was already covered with a thick layer.

At this time, the phone rang, and it was Chen Xiaoxu calling.

After connecting, the other side said four words: "Come back for dinner!" ”
