Chapter 72: Calling
The sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve barely stopped, and it wasn't until one or two o'clock in the morning that it became quieter outside.
In addition, because the lights at home were not turned off this night, Li Zhengyi did not fall asleep until more than two o'clock in the night with new expectations for the New Year.
"Chop chop..."
After a dreamless night, Li Zhengyi was woken up by the sound of a knock on a wooden plank the next day. When I opened my eyes, I found that it was only five o'clock in the morning.
Look out the window at the night sky, which is still as dark as water, except for the lights that have been on all night.
The sound of the wooden planks coming from the kitchen, and he didn't go back to sleep when he thought of something, but got dressed and washed up and went to help.
"Why are you up? Toilet? ”
……
When I arrived at the kitchen, I saw my parents chopping the stuffing and preparing dumplings.
But what his father said with one mouth hit Li Zhengyi's enthusiasm.
In order to prove his innocence, even though he had already washed, he went to the pool next to him and washed his hands again.
It's hard to say anything else, but Li Zhengyi is still very confident that he can do it
"Mom, I'll come."
Although Li Zhengyi had guessed a little when he was washing his hands on the side just now, when he really got started, it still made Tie Yulian feel a little surprised.
"No, you can sleep a little longer."
Li Zhengyi forcibly stepped forward to help, but Tie Yulian handed over the knife for safety.
Looking at Li Zhengyi's more and more upright body, I couldn't help but sigh that my son had finally grown up.
When making dumplings later, Li Zhengyi suffered a small blow.
Not to mention the ugly dumplings he made, he also saw the parents next to him rolling out the skin and bunning one by one, and the cooperation was extremely tacit, which made him feel like he was forcibly fed a wave of dog food.
Fortunately, Li Zhengyi has grown into a strong man, and in this wave of critical hits, he persevered to the end.
"Crackling... Bang Bang Bang..."
After the fresh dumplings were baked, he ran outside and set off a string of firecrackers.
Even though their family gets up around five o'clock to make dumplings, there are still some families where firecrackers go off earlier. But it doesn't hurt, it's just to follow the old customs, as long as the heart is there.
As the younger sister of Xueba, it is rare to be the first to the last, but when she gets up, she is greeted by fragrant dumplings, which makes her smile.
After eating, they began to congratulate the New Year, which was not like a mobile phone in the future, and the family would stay in front of the phone and take turns to greet the New Year.
First of all, grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents, they are all alive and well, but they live far away, so they can only call to pay New Year's greetings.
When he heard Li Zhengyi's voice, the old man's tone became a little more joyful, and he said that the red envelope was kept, waiting for the good grandson to go back and get it.
Speaking of the New Year's red envelope, yesterday Li Zhengyi and his sister received a New Year's money of 100 yuan.
This is actually a lot, you must know that the average salary of a person is less than 1,000 yuan now, and there are many children who can get 10 yuan of New Year's money, and they are already very happy.
This 100 yuan can also be of great help to Li Zhengyi.
It was time to call his parents' siblings, and he didn't join in the fun.
Li Zhengyi thinks that he is not very good at words, and because of the distance, he can't see each other a few times a year, and he is an elder, so he doesn't know what to say.
In addition, there are indeed a lot of people, five brothers and sisters on my father's side, and four sisters and brothers on my mother's side, if this circle comes down, it is really a little powerless.
And then it's not over, my parents' colleagues and friends have to call, and then there are my sister's classmates and friends, and I don't know how much phone bills will cost this day.
Li Zhengyi stayed at the end because he had to make no fewer calls than his parents, and even more.
"Hey, Happy New Year, Mr. Wu! I'm sorry for you two days ago, well, I studied hard. Okay, goodbye Mr. Wu. ”
"Hey, Happy New Year, Xiaoguang! Ahem, it's nothing, I just slept at a friend's house. Well, that's it, let's talk about the start of school..."
"Hey, is it the squad leader? Happy New Year......"
"Hey, Happy New Year..."
Call~
After this lap, even if Li Zhengyi's physique and endurance are far beyond ordinary people, he still feels physically and mentally exhausted, but fortunately, the task is finally completed and he can take a good rest.
"Coco!"
"Don't run around."
The parents took his sister to go shopping, Li Zhengyi guarded the house, he released 10,000 yuan, and let him move in the house for a while, so as not to hide it all the time and have problems.
Sure enough, the little guy was very excited when he came out, looking east and west, and swimming around.
Li Zhengyi just glanced at it and didn't care anymore, the little guy has at least the IQ of an eight- or nine-year-old child, and he knows what not to touch, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
After a long sigh of relief, he lay on the bed, and Li Zhengyi decided to give himself a day off and have a good rest.
"Knock knock~"
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Who?"
Parents they just went out and couldn't have come back so soon. He was a little curious about who was knocking on the door, could it be that someone had come to pay New Year's greetings? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it should be unlikely.
When I opened the door, I saw a big brother in his thirties wearing a dark green uniform standing outside the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Does Li Zhengyi live here?"
"Uh, who I am, ...... you?"
I didn't expect it to be looking for myself, he didn't know it, and he didn't know what it was, so he became more and more curious.
Hearing him say that he was, the eldest brother glanced at the house number, asked him for other information, and then said: "That's the case, there is your courier, because it is marked as an important item and needs to be delivered to the door, and it is now locked in the car, please come and pick it up." ”
Who will send them something? Or at this time, doesn't the courier brother take a break?
With a bunch of questions, Li Zhengyi went out with the eldest brother, because his family lived on the first floor, so he went out of the doorway.
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."
The courier brother went to unlock the lock, but Li Zhengyi looked at the vehicle in front of him with some curiosity.
The car is earthy yellow and has only two wheels, the small one in the front and the large one in the rear.
Above the wheel there is a single-seater with handlebars, no carport, only a transparent windshield. There is an enclosed cargo compartment on the rear wheel, which is a bit large for the driver's seat.
Li Zhengyi felt that the shape of this car was peculiar, the load distribution was extremely unreasonable, and there were only two wheels in front and rear, which could still be parked there steadily, and for a while, his curiosity about this car was better than that of the unknown express.
"Big brother, where did you buy this car? It feels pretty good. ”
He took the initiative to ask, and the eldest brother's hand kept moving, and he glanced at him a little strangely, and laughed: "Bought it?" I didn't buy this car, it's my awakening. ”
"My car is fast, heavy-loaded, and safe. See? This hopper is all steel. ”
"Generally, I only need to transport important items, although I don't run much on weekdays, but the advanced individuals in the unit can't leave me behind every year."
The eldest brother's expression was extremely proud, but Li Zhengyi was a little confused.
This strange two-wheeled bicycle was already very good in his opinion, and it felt at least much stronger than his father's teacup, but he didn't expect this big brother to just deliver couriers.
Even if there is a unit, Li Zhengyi still has a lot of contrast in his heart.
I can't help but wonder if everything else is like this except for the mainstream awakened people like guns?
It's too close to life, right?
