Siheyuan: I just want to live

Not long after, Chen Feng and his family arrived at the door of Old Man Li's house. The orderly, Brother Zhang, walked up to him swiftly and slowly pushed open the heavy door.

Seeing this, Chen Feng raised his leg without hesitation and walked into the house with big strides, as if this was his home.

Jin Ling and Lou Xiao'e, who followed closely behind Chen Feng, seemed much more polite than Chen Feng.

When they passed by Brother Zhang, they not only smiled but also thanked him softly. This humility and upbringing made people feel good about him.

Look at the children following behind Jin Ling and Lou Xiao'e, observing their parents' actions.

After seeing their mothers expressing their gratitude to Brother Zhang, these clever little ones immediately imitated the adults, lined up, and thanked Brother Zhang sweetly one after another.

Brother Zhang looked at this group of lovely and sensible children and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

He responded to the children's thanks enthusiastically and said gently, "You're welcome. Come in quickly!"

Everyone filed into the house. At this time, the sharp-eyed nanny Wang noticed the various New Year gifts in the children's hands.

She hurried forward, took the heavy gifts from the children's hands with great attentiveness, and placed them aside carefully.

After Chen Feng stepped into the door of Old Man Li’s house, his attention was immediately attracted by the scene in the living room.

I saw the vigorous and kind-faced old man Li sitting upright on the armchair in the middle of the living room. He was holding an old purple clay teapot in his hand and sipping tea leisurely.

However, what surprised Chen Feng was that Old Man Li was not the only one sitting in the living room today.

Next to old man Li sat his son and nephew, Li Guoyuan and Li Guotao. The two brothers were chatting and laughing with old man Li, and the atmosphere of joy filled the whole living room.

When Chen Feng saw this scene, a bright smile instantly broke out on his face. He quickened his pace towards the living room, shouting loudly with enthusiasm and a little joy.

"Grandpa Li, I have specially brought my wife and our children to wish you a happy new year! I wish you good health, delicious food, and happiness every day in the new year!"

After hearing Chen Feng's sincere words, Old Man Li slowly raised his head, looked at Chen Feng lovingly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an amiable smile.

Then, he put down the purple clay teapot in his hand and responded in a gentle voice: "Hey, Xiaofeng, you are finally here! Come over here and sit down to rest your feet. You must be exhausted from the journey, right?"

After hearing what Old Man Li said, Chen Feng did not move forward to sit down immediately. He turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on the children who had just stepped into the room behind him, and said slowly: "Children, come quickly to wish Grandpa Li a happy new year!"

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, Chen Xi, like a nimble little deer, led her group of brothers and sisters, and walked quickly to the center of the living room with quick and brisk steps.

Everyone looked closely and saw Chen Xi take the lead and walk up to Old Man Li. He slightly bent his slender waist and bowed respectfully to Old Man Li.

At the same time, her clear and melodious voice, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, also rang out: "Grandpa Li, I have come specially to wish you a happy new year!"

"Grandpa, please sit still. I will lead my brothers and sisters to kowtow to you. I sincerely wish you good health and a long life!"

After saying that, Chen Xi pretended to kneel down and kowtow to Old Man Li solemnly.

However, at this moment, old man Li was quick to speak out and said, "Hey, little girl, I appreciate your kindness. You can kowtow, but don't make it so troublesome!"

As Old Man Li spoke, he cast a friendly look at Li Guoyuan who was standing nearby, and urged him with a smile.

"Guoyuan, why don't you quickly give the red envelopes to these children? It's Chinese New Year, it's not good for them to make this trip in vain, right?"

When Li Guoyuan heard what Old Man Li said, he stood up quickly without any hesitation and walked to Chen Xi with big strides.

He was quick to support Chen Xi, who was about to kneel down to salute. His movements were so agile and his strength was just right, as if he had practiced it countless times.

Then, Li Guoyuan's face lit up with an amiable smile, and he said cheerfully to Chen Xi: "Oh, Xiaoxi, your kindness is felt by Grandpa!"

"So, forget about the kowtow! Come on, here, Grandpa has a big red envelope for you!"

As he spoke, Li Guoyuan reached into his pocket and began to search.

After a while, he took out a thick stack of red envelopes from his pocket. The red envelopes were bright red, like a burning flame.

He narrowed his eyes, carefully picked out two red envelopes, then handed them to Chen Xi and whispered instructions.

"My dear little Xi, there are two red envelopes here. One is specially prepared for you by your great grandfather, and the other is a little gift from me! You must keep it well and don't let your cunning father cheat it away!"

After saying this, Li Guoyuan did not forget to wink at Chen Xi, his eyes full of love and doting.

Chen Xi nodded obediently, holding the two red envelopes tightly in both hands, and replied with a smile: "Grandpa, you can rest assured!"

"I've grown up now. I'm no longer the gullible kid I used to be! My dad can never cheat me out of a penny of New Year's money again!"

Her eyes, bright as stars, sparkle with confidence and intelligence.

As soon as Chen Xi's innocent and slightly playful words came out of his mouth, the whole living room suddenly erupted into cheerful and hearty laughter.

Everyone was either laughing forward and backward or clapping their thighs with laughter. For a moment, laughter filled every corner and the atmosphere became particularly lively and warm.

Li Guoyuan laughed heartily a few times, and his laughter echoed in the room, as if even the air was infected and filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Then, he excitedly picked up a thick stack of red envelopes and began to distribute them to Chen Feng's other children one by one.

"Xiaoxing, come and get your red envelope. There are two here!" Li Guoyuan handed the red envelope to Xiaoxing with a smile on his face.

Xiaoxing ran over excitedly, took the red envelope with both hands, and said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Guoyuan!"

Then, Li Guoyuan turned to another child, Xiaoxu, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxu, it's your turn to receive the red envelope!" Then he handed the red envelope to Xiaoxu.

Xiaoxu thanked him politely: "Thank you, Grandpa Guoyuan!" Xiaoxu was already in junior high school at this time. Compared with his younger brothers and sisters, he already had some ideas about how to spend his New Year's money.

Then, Li Guoyuan continued to give red envelopes to Xiao Shuo, and kindly told him: "Xiao Shuo, you must be obedient!"

Xiao Shuo nodded happily and responded sweetly: "Thank you, Grandpa Guoyuan!"

After giving out New Year's money to Chen Feng and Jin Ling's children, Li Guoyuan walked briskly to Chen Yue and Chen Xiao.

With a kind smile on his face, he looked at the two lovely children in front of him gently and asked softly, "You two are Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao, right?"

Hearing Li Guoyuan's question, Chen Yue and Chen Xiao quickly responded in unison: "Hello, Grandpa, I'm Chen Yue!" "I'm Chen Xiao!"

Their voices are clear and pleasant, revealing the unique clarity of teenagers, which is very comfortable to listen to.

Li Guoyuan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of love. He reached into his pocket and took out four red envelopes, stuffed them into the hands of Chen Yue and Chen Xiao respectively, and said earnestly.

"Well, you are all good kids. I am so happy to see you here!"

Chen Yue and his sister accepted the red envelopes with great joy, their faces filled with happiness and gratitude.

The two men moved in unison. They first bent down slightly, then bowed deeply, and thanked Li Guoyuan in unison: "Thank you, Grandpa Guoyuan!" The clear and loud voice was full of sincere emotions.

Then, they turned around and faced Old Man Li who was sitting over there, and bowed respectfully again to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Old man Li looked at the two cute and well-behaved children in front of him, and his heart was filled with satisfaction. He raised the corners of his mouth, showing a friendly smile, nodded frequently and said: "Good, good, good! You are all sensible and good children!"

At this moment, Li Guotao, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up. With a cheerful smile on his face, he said loudly: "Since the red envelopes of uncle and brother have been distributed, it's my turn next!"

Before he finished speaking, several children who were originally playing in various places immediately ran to Li Guotao with smiles on their faces, as if they were cast under a spell, and consciously lined up in a column.

Li Guotao felt particularly happy when he saw these innocent children. He reached out and touched his pocket to make sure the red envelope inside was safe.

Then, he slowly took out a number of carefully prepared red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to the children in the front line one by one.

Every child who received a red envelope would cheer excitedly, "Thank you, Grandpa!", and Li Guotao would respond with a "Good boy!"

The whole scene was lively and full of laughter and laughter.

After all the children happily received their red envelopes, Chen Feng smiled and took Jin Ling's soft little hand.

Lou Xiao'e on the side lowered her head slightly with a shy blush on her face. The three of them slowly walked towards the luxurious sofa in the middle of the living room and sat down gently.

At this time, the children who had just received the red envelopes could no longer contain their joy and curiosity, and ran to the spacious courtyard outside the villa, laughing and shouting, like wild horses.

They can't wait to open the bulging red envelope in their hands to see how many surprises and joys are hidden inside.
