Siheyuan: Retirement is a moment of pleasure, but it is heartbroken to regret

It may sound unreasonable to rejoice and celebrate the new year, but people still do it.

The sound of gongs, drums and fireworks outside resounded through the night.

After Li Chuan came back, he fell asleep quickly.

In this night's dream, there are fireworks and human beings.

……

New Year's Day.

Yesterday the children had already asked for a round of lucky money one by one, and today they called because they were embarrassed to ask for the lucky money.

But after all, they are children, so many children waited and ran to the backyard to ask Li Chuan for some candies.

Li Chuan bought a few catties by himself, and got a few more catties when he signed in. Now the most important thing in the house is this thing, melon seeds. Fortunately, he can take it to the three uncles to eat in their spare time.

But the three elders didn't like this candy, so they simply distributed it to the children, but he also kept a few.

On the first day of the new year, everyone who has relatives at home has to go out to visit relatives.

As soon as I went out, I found that the courtyard next to their courtyard was being decorated with lights.

After careful questioning, it turned out that this family chose the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to marry their daughter.

People rejoiced, and Li Chuan was riding a bicycle with a smile on his face.

Was it the children who knocked on the door early this morning to wake him up? Before he had time to sign in, he thought about going to pay New Year's greetings before coming back.

"Uncle Wang!"

Li Chuan stopped the car and called Wang Guohua, the workshop director, at the door of his house.

"Hey! Here we come!" It was Aunt Wang who answered, and she could tell from the voice that she was very happy now.

"Oh, it's Chuanzi, why are you here so early?"

Aunt Wang was delighted when she saw him, and hurriedly called people in: "Your uncle is playing chess with your brother at home!"

Wang Guohua's son is Wang Jianguo. He is rarely at home because of work. It is rare to see his father and son so happy.

Li Chuan entered the door carrying his things, and Wang Jianguo stood up quickly.

"Dad! Hurry up, there are guests at home."

There was also a sense of rejoicing in this expression, as if he had narrowly escaped death.

It seems that what Aunt Wang said, the two are playing chess, one of them is not taking the initiative!

Li Chuan greeted with a smile: "Uncle Wang, and Brother Wang, happy new year!"

Wang Jianguo said, "You are the Li Chuan that my parents often mention, right?"

He rubbed his hands together, with a grateful expression on his face: "When I'm not at home, it's fortunate that you often come to see them! This is really... It's too alien to say thank you. In short, we will be brothers from now on! There is something wrong say something!"

Li Chuan handed him the things in his hands: "Little Brother Wang is out of touch. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are very kind to me. This is called reciprocating!"

Wang Jianguo took the things he brought and took a look, ho!
"How did you bring so many things here?"

Forget about melon seeds and peanut candies, there are still five bottles of Coke, and a bottle of wine in the bottom!

Hearing this, Uncle Wang took off his glasses, took a look, and said in disapproval, "You kid just came here, what are you doing with so many things? This coke and wine are not cheap!"

A bottle of Coke now costs [-] cents. Although it looks cheap, the bottle must be returned to others. If you don't return it, it costs [-] yuan a bottle!
There are patterns printed on the Coke bottle. The shape of the bottle itself is very unique. The neck is extremely slender, which is different from ordinary sauce bottles. Many children like to collect such bottles.

Moreover, there are old people and children who will pick up some bottles outside and sell them for money. Collecting waste products is considered a versatile occupation nowadays, which is different from Li Chuan’s previous life. The prices are quite reasonable.

It's not allowed in this day and age, so if people want to dispose of their second-hand stuff, they usually find these collectors.

They have their own way of selling second-hand items at high prices.

Exactly how it will work is unclear.

I only know that they do have a way, and this way seems to be officially allowed.

Among other things, just these five bottles of Coke, after they finished drinking, if they sold the bottles to waste collectors, they could get at least three or four dollars.

It's normal that Uncle Wang doesn't want to accept it, after all, it's something that can be exchanged for money.

Li Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't buy it with money. Didn't I do someone a favor last time? They bought it to thank me."

It can't be regarded as a complete lie, after all, it is not bought.

When Uncle Wang heard this, he was relieved, but he still wanted him to take the bottle back.

Uncle Wang's grandson was only a little over five years old, and now he couldn't take his eyes off the shiny Coke bottle.

Li Chuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Why take it back? I don't like this kind of bottle, and you know my monthly salary. How can you be polite to me with this little thing?"

Hearing this, Wang Jianguo said in admiration: "I have heard from my dad that Chuanzi is a bright person, and now I see that it is indeed the case. It's alright, Dad, we don't have to push it out because Chuanzi specially brought it. It's so ugly for the New Year. .”

Only when he spoke, Uncle Wang gave up.

Uncle Wang has three children in total, Wang Jian, Wang Jianjun and Wang Cuicui. Two of them have children. Wang Cuicui has just been married for a year, and he said he won't be here until this afternoon, so Li Chuan only met the first two.

Wang Jianjun was not at home, and Yuemo was sent out to buy things by Aunt Wang. Li Chuan appreciated Wang Jianguo's enthusiasm and his ability to advance and retreat.

Of course, when Li Chuan came, the most popular ones were the children of the Wang family.

Jianguo Jianjun had three children in total, except for the one who was still in his arms, the other two surrounded Li Chuan and refused to let go!

Because Li Chuan brought over three catties of candy!
Now the two children each grabbed a few in their hands, and they were very happy. Uncle Xiaochuan called him very affectionate.

Li Chuan specially came to pay New Year's greetings, and Uncle Wang wanted to keep him for a meal no matter what.

The Wang family invited them warmly, but they couldn't refuse, so Li Chuan simply stayed.

The host and guests had a good meal, and when they left, Aunt Wang even packed a basket of biscuits she made herself.

"It's not worth any money. I made it myself, but it can be eaten for breakfast every morning when it's warmed up." Aunt Wang sent it sincerely, and Li Chuan simply accepted it.

Silly Zhu came back late yesterday, Li Chuan was still riding Lou Xiao'e's bicycle at the moment, and was thinking of going back to return the bike after putting the cakes, but he ran into Sha Zhu who was just about to go out at the gate.

"Hey! Kawako, you are here!"

Silly Zhu smiled: "I knocked on the door of your house in the morning. If I didn't hear any reply, I guess you've already gone out. The car key was stuffed in through the window for you. You probably have to pick it up yourself when you go back."

Li Chuan nodded: "Okay, it's okay."

"Where did this car come from?" Silly Zhu looked around the bicycle and asked curiously.

I didn't hear that Li Chuan had two cars, and the traces didn't look like they were newly bought.

Much older than Li Chuan's car.
