Chapter 1,288 The Best Gift
The kang in Northeast China has a little bit of smoke smell. If it is too hot, you can't lie down. If it is not good enough, the kang may cool down just after midnight, and the room will also cool down. Not to mention Xiaodi, Chen Hao, who has lived outside for many years, is a little uncomfortable. Therefore, the room is equipped with air conditioning and an air purifier, so that the two can fully enjoy the benefits of the kang. The tired body lies on the kang, closes the eyes and lets the pure heat invade the body, which has a massage and therapeutic effect, and is very comfortable.
The night before New Year's Eve, the two took a bath, the bed was laid slightly away from the head of the kang, put on comfortable pajamas, and lay side by side at the head of the kang, letting themselves be burned by the kang comfortably, and lying flat to warm their waists. After feeling drowsy, they got into the quilt and slept a lot, and rested enough to welcome the arrival of the new year.
This New Year, the two set a small goal for themselves, to find their childhood, or to enjoy the things that they didn't play enough in their childhood in the new year.
Lianquan Village is also very lively this year. In addition to the residents who originally lived here, every household celebrated the New Year together as a big family this year. In the countryside, each family celebrated the New Year separately. This year, brothers and sisters gathered together and celebrated together around the elderly. The Chen family was the same. Chen Yuanping's brothers and sisters and Qiao Xinmei's brothers and sisters, both families gathered in Lianquan Village, and everyone celebrated the New Year together. You can see batches of relatives and friends arriving early in the morning.
It is a convention that from Chen's family to every family in the village, there is no car parked on the entire village road. No matter whose relatives, cars are not allowed to occupy the road. If you can park in the path or yard in front of your own house, you can park in it. Otherwise, the village committee and the small sports square in the village are also OK.
The children in the village received the task early in the morning. The children of the village brought the children of their relatives. Two or three hundred children, each holding tools, ran to a flat land more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the village. The agricultural land will be requisitioned. The heavy snow in the previous period will cover the entire land. The task of the children is to clear this land.
Make snowmen, have snowball fights, pull sleds, in short, no matter how you play, clear most of the snow on this land. At night, the fireworks party of Lianquan Village will be held here. The warehouse of the village committee is already full of fireworks, and each household has a lot of fireworks. At night, this place will be the focus of the surrounding villages.
Every household starts to make fire and cook, and starts to heat up the kang in the room. All kinds of ingredients prepared for the New Year are also taken out. The arrival of relatives and friends instantly makes every family full of the New Year atmosphere.
During the New Year, it is a lively scene of reunion. The more people, the better. It is rare for everyone to get together to relax throughout the year. When there is no money, there will be some troubles and quarrels. Now every household has good conditions, and there is endless New Year food. All kinds of non-seasonal ingredients and fruits are served on the dining table of every household.
In rural areas, few families will eat the New Year's Eve dinner after 2 pm. After eating early, they will start to enter the crazy stage of playing, and all kinds of card games will start. Having money makes the New Year's Eve of the whole village particularly lively and interesting. Everyone can play, and the overall feeling is different. In the rural areas of Northeast China, it seems that if you don't get together to play cards and gamble for fun on such a day, it seems that the atmosphere of the New Year is not complete.
There is no worry about food and drink. There are not many old dishes on the table of every household. Seafood is on the table tonight. The doors of every household are open, and the warehouses of every household are piled with a large number of melon seeds, peanuts and candies. In order to make it convenient for all children, there are more than these. Every family will pile up some yogurt, drinks and juice. If the children are tired of running and playing with other children, they can get some food anytime and anywhere by entering any house. If adults see it, they will quickly bring out the fruit plate at home for everyone to eat.
With the Chen family as the center, even if some families are stingy, they don't want this reputation to spread to the Chen family. Besides, even if you want to send these things to the Chen family, you can't send them. It's better to create an atmosphere of collective life. Everyone regards each other as family members. The whole village is a family. Many relatives and friends come to the family during the New Year. Are you still afraid that the New Year's goods prepared by the family will be eaten by relatives?
In the past, many relatives would still hope to get red envelopes from Chen Hao, the richest in the family, during the New Year. This year is completely different. Every family gives red envelopes to the elderly, eliminating the process of giving red envelopes to each other's children. Every household has children. You give me and I give you. There is no need for this. Besides, now they have made a lot of money with the Chen family. This is because Chen Hao has no children. If he has children, no matter how much assets he has, others will want to give the biggest red envelope they can to his children.
Big stars are also human beings. In the afternoon, Xiaodi played mahjong with Chen Xue, Chen Yu and another cousin at home. In order to play, the entire Lianquan Village bought dozens of mahjong machines at once before the New Year. Those who directly engaged in mahjong machine wholesale were dumbfounded. Meicheng, which is known as the richest village in the province, may actually cover the entire province. It is not a false reputation. It fully confirms the saying that if one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper. With the support of Chen Hao, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is definitely not difficult to earn at least hundreds of thousands a year.
Most of the young people of Chen Hao's generation gathered in his original fitness and entertainment room. The poker game was also established. Everyone also played Texas Hold'em and Niu Niu in a very trendy way. They all had some competitive elements in them. Chen Hao's ability was automatically exerted. All he could do was not think too much, have fun with everyone, and control everyone's "gambling" emotions a little. If you lose these two things, it would be scary.
The pool table became the most suitable Texas Hold'em table. The young people sat in a circle, and Wang Dapeng and several young people from the village came to join in the fun.
Young people in the age group of fifteen or sixteen to twenty-one or twenty-two have a good job waiting for them tonight. These young people who have not yet made money on their own have directly become dealers on the card table. Texas Hold'em and Niu Niu are responsible for dealing cards, giving them the right to "reap water". They change people every hour, and you can earn hundreds of yuan in an hour. Similar young people in this village have begun to gather in this room.
It was even more interesting at night. Children from every household started the "special entertainment project" of visiting and eating at random, including neighbors. In the past, they would politely call out "Come and sit down for a drink", but they would refuse before, but not now. They would sincerely invite and sit down openly. Every family was having a great time, from one family to another village, and finally the whole village was like one family.
"Next year, each family will not prepare at all. We will directly build a warm shed in the courtyard of the village office and open a buffet to save trouble."
At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, people from other villages began to visit Lianquan Village. Seeing the way this village celebrates the New Year, those who came to visit could only secretly envy in their hearts, thinking that such a life seemed to have returned to the era of universal resource sharing. No matter who you go to, whether you are familiar with them or not, if you say you want to smoke a cigarette, they will throw you a box.
When the children set off fireworks, they attracted the attention of the nearby villages. Many young people and children came to Lianquan Village to watch. The big fireworks lasted for 20 to 30 minutes, and there were many small ones left. The children went up to enjoy the fun of setting off fireworks.
From New Year's Eve to the morning of the first day of the new year, most of the people in the village did not sleep all night. Regardless of winning or losing, they all closed their stalls at around 3 o'clock. They would play for a while and then continue to play. What needs to be done now is to continue the tradition that everyone is used to every year.
Before dawn, the chimney at home will smoke to prove that your family has woken up. People who start to pay New Year's greetings will appear in the village, and they all compete to pay New Year's greetings early. In the past, everyone would first pay New Year's greetings to their direct relatives or the elderly in the village. This year, everyone's direction early in the morning is the Chen family.
…………………………
Early in the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, Chen Hao and Xiao Di drove to Fengtian Airport and flew to Xiao Di's home. For two consecutive days and nights, they had been playing all kinds of things. In addition to playing cards, everyone got together to play games or chat. Fortunately, no one dared to disturb her and Chen Hao. Last night, they felt tired and went back to the room to sleep early, so they didn't drive to the airport with dark circles under their eyes. He was very proud and proud. No matter how much money he could give his parents, it would be better to give them a happy living environment with a smile all day long. That is the best gift a son can give to be filial. Seeing the living conditions of my parents and relatives, I can feel at ease to continue to work hard for my dreams.
Chen Gang and Kang Yan were left at home by Chen Hao, so that they could meet at Yanjing Airport on the morning of the fifth day of the Chinese New Year and fly directly to the United States.
The airport was still relatively quiet on the second day of the Chinese New Year, but the appearance of Chen Hao and Xiao Di still made the airport lively all of a sudden.
Arriving at Xiaodi's home, it was as lively as in the Northeast. Knowing that the new son-in-law was coming this year, Xiaodi's relatives had already gathered on the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year. He used to come as a boyfriend, but now he is a husband. Before the snowstorm, Chen Yuanping and his wife and Xiaodi's parents finalized an important event during their trip. Chen Hao came here to finalize the approximate date.
This wedding will be held this year. Chen Hao and Xiaodi have discussed which month and location to hold it. It has not been finalized yet. Although this makes everyone a little disappointed, seeing the eyes of the two people looking at each other together, the sweet happiness cannot be faked no matter what, and everyone no longer thinks that the time of the wedding is a very important thing.
Xiaodi: "I hope it can be after the release of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes."
A film that everyone really dares not think can be a big hit, and this is because Chen Hao is leading it, that is, his resume is full of victories, so many people do not speak badly of this movie. The investment is so large. If this movie is regarded as an investment product, the current investment risk is enough to deter all investors.
She hopes that this film will be a success and that success will be the best gift for her wedding.
