Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Li Jianbo had to make up classes in the third year of high school, and Li Jianbo went back to school again.

Because of Li Xia's affairs, there was a rift with Li Mingguo's family, and Li Minghua decided that he didn't want to go back so early this year.

"Are you going to set up a stall to sell Spring Festival couplets this year?"

Li Wei said: "I think, but my second brother is busy with his studies this year. I'm afraid I can't pull this stall by myself. My second brother also said he wouldn't let me go and let me study homework at home."

When Li Jianping heard that, he nodded and said, "That's true. You can help the house. It has been a bit cold in the past few days, and I don't know if it will snow.

They live in the south, and it becomes gloomy and cold every winter. After the rain, it becomes gloomy and damp, but snow rarely falls. Fortunately, Li Wei's housework has not been interrupted in the past two years, and there is no frostbite on his hands and feet.

It wasn't until Li Jianbo's third grade vacation that the whole family packed up and prepared to return to Yongning.

The new year goods have been bought in the city, and the brothers Li Jianping and Li Jianbo went to the town to buy some firecrackers and fireworks, and they planned to wait until the New Year’s day.

Liu Chunzhi and Li Wei's mother and daughter were busy preparing New Year's Eve dinner. In the past few years, the two brothers always had to get together to have a reunion dinner. This year, even when they went to worship their ancestors, they acted separately.

Li Wei helped take care of the fire in the stove, and Liu Chunzhi was busy preparing seasonings and preparing chicken nuggets.

"Come here, I will teach you two tricks, you can use them after you learn them."

"Oh, just come." Li Wei washed his hands with hot water.

Liu Chunzhi gave a big pot to Li Wei and said, “First prepare the seasonings, mix the seasoning soup thoroughly, and then pour the dishes. After the dishes are in, they must be stirred repeatedly to make the taste even. There is no need to add MSG after the sugar and vinegar are put It can also taste delicious..." Liu Chunzhi planned to teach Li Wei two tricks. Li Wei also studied earnestly. Under Liu Chunzhi's guidance, the chicken nuggets came from her hands.

Here is busy preparing New Year's Eve dinner. The father and son over there are discussing whether to expand the business in the coming year, and who will hire the crops in the field. Li Minghua and Li Jianping talked with great interest, but Li Jianbo had been very quiet and didn't interrupt.

Jianping pushed his younger brother, and said, "Jianbo, what are you doing today, you don't speak too much. In the past, you didn't have a lot of opinions. Why are you so quiet today?"

Li Jianbo smiled: "I'm listening to you, and I think you make a lot of sense, and it's not easy to interrupt."

After talking about family affairs, Li Minghua turned to care about Jianbo's studies. Perhaps it was the first time he cared about his younger son's future.

"You will have the college entrance examination in a few months, right? Your grades have never worried us. Take the exam well, whether our family can turn over is waiting for you."

Listening to his father's words, Li Jianbo's heart was heavy. He nodded and said, "I won't let you down."

When the food was on the table, everyone was sitting around and Li Minghua brought the wine. Pour the wine in the glass in front of everyone, even Li Wei is not surprised.

Li Minghua picked up the wine glasses, and everyone clinked them to bid farewell to the old year and imagined the coming year. Regarding the coming year, Li Wei has only one wish, hoping that her second brother will be named on the gold list, and everything will come true.

Li Wei just took a few symbolic sips and felt choked.

Li Jianbo was uncommonly bold. After drinking this glass of wine, he immediately filled the glass in front of his father and respected his father: "Dad, I will accompany you for a drink. May your wishes come true, but that smoke can You should drink less, and the wine should be in moderation. After this amount, it will hurt your body. You will gradually get older. Take care. We still need your care."

Li Minghua said cheerfully: "Jianbo rarely drank with me, I drank this glass." Li Minghua drank it very happily.

Then Li Jianbo respected Liu Chunzhi again, and also talked about it. Then he had another drink with Jianping. Li Wei looked at it and felt strange in his heart. Her second brother's behavior seemed to say goodbye to his family, but it was still a few months before the college entrance examination. Finally it was Li Wei’s turn. Li Jianbo knew that his sister was not good at drinking, so he held the glass and touched the half glass of wine in front of Li Wei, and sincerely said to her: "Wei Wei, watch you grow up a little bit. ,I am very happy."

After a lap, Li Jianbo also drank a lot of wine, but he didn't change his face and his mind was very clear, and he didn't look drunk at all. Li Minghua was overjoyed and patted Li Jianbo and said, "My son is good, come, Today, my father and I had a good drink."

Li Jianbo did not postpone it, and followed Li Minghua to drink one cup after another.

The other three people were left looking at each other. Are these father and son getting drunk?

The night was like ink, and warm lights came out from the Li's room, and a few laughter and laughter floated out from time to time, making people feel warm and warm.

I bought two kilograms of white wine, and both of them had finished drinking. The food on the table was not known to have been heated several times, until Li Minghua was already lying on the table, Liu Chunzhi went to persuade Li Jianbo.

"Okay, don't take your dad to drink. You have also drunk a lot. Go back to your room and sleep earlier."

Li Jianbo felt a little groggy in his brain, but his consciousness was extremely clear.

Listening to the rumbling of firecrackers outside, Li Jianping said: "By the way, the firecrackers and fireworks that I bought have not had time to set off." So he opened the door to set off. Li Wei rarely followed up and said, "I also want to set off fireworks."

Li Jianping lit a piece of incense for Li Wei and told her: "Light the core and step back and be careful to blow you up."

Li smiled and said, "I don't need my eldest brother to tell me, I'm not a kid."

Li Jianping inserted the fireworks diagonally into the yard. Li Wei approached one of the incense sticks and tried to light it several times before lighting the core. Watching the sparks come out, she ran back quickly, bumping it inadvertently. A person, if it wasn't for that person to pull her in time, Li Wei would definitely fall.

"Thank you brother." Li slightly raised his head, the night was dim, and the expression on Li Jianbo's face was also trapped in the gloom.

The fireworks lit by her swish high into the sky, and quickly bloomed above them, a yellow firework. Li Wei glanced sideways at her second brother by the light of the fireworks, just as Li Jianbo turned his head, the two eyes met.

His eyes were also obscure, as if there was still a trace of loneliness. Over the years, the second brother has been leading herself, but she has never walked into the inner world of her second brother. The second brother's joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, but she is like a bystander.

Li Jianping also lit the other fireworks. When he was about to run, he turned his head and saw that his younger brother and sister were looking at each other. He was startled, and a weird thought came into his heart. This thought made him stand another place. , Did not join the younger siblings.
