When Zhao Danshi and Li Ping came back from delivering the food, they found two unexpected guests in the yard.

"Boss Yang, Boss Huang, why are you two here?"

"Isn't it the Chinese New Year coming soon? The two of us came over to see how your yard is doing. Is everything okay?" Yang Duoshun and Huang Dafan took out the presents they brought, but Zhao Dan refused to accept them. He forced it into his hand, "It's just some small things, don't be polite to us."

Zhao Shanshi had no choice but to accept the gifts they brought, and said with a smile: "It's very good, come in and sit down."

The old man made tea for them with a smile, and entertained them with melon seeds, biscuits, candies and other New Year's goods, "Driving all the way here, isn't it cold?"

"It's okay, it's not too cold, it's good to go out for a walk." Yang Duoshun looked at their yard, but after not coming for a few months, they felt that the yard was much more lively than before.

Zhao Danshi came out from the next room with Doudou in his arms, tilted his head and looked at the two strangers in front of him, his eyes kept rolling, Zhao Danshi kissed his little head, and taught him: "Say hello, Uncle. "

Doudou said childishly, "Hello, Uncle."

"So good." Yang Duoshun kindly touched Doudou's chubby cheeks, found a big red envelope from his pocket, and put it in Doudou's arms, "You're so young, so you can talk like that?"

Before Zhao Danshi had time to refuse, he hugged the big red envelope, his eyes were shining like little stars, he showed a big smile, and said crisply: "Thank you uncle, happy new year, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

"Hahaha." Yang Duoshun touched Doudou's head with a smile, "Thank you Doudou."

This was taught by the people in the courtyard. After teaching it a few times, Doudou learned it thoroughly.

"This kid is smart." Huang Dafan also gave a red envelope to Dou Dou, "Dou Dou is in good health and will grow up quickly."

"Thank you, Uncle." Doudou turned his face to him, repeated his blessings without any shyness, and kept blinking his big eyes, not to mention being pleasing.

"Yo." Huang Dafan smiled, "Aside from knowing this, what else can you do around?"

Doudou said in a milky voice, "Everything is going well."

"Hahaha."

Yang Duoshun turned his head and saw dried radishes like snowflakes in their yard, "Is this the radish you took in the video? This row of bamboo plaques looks really nice when dried."

Zhao Danshi glanced at the radishes in the yard, nodded with a smile, "That's the radish, there are a lot of radishes this year, let's dry some radishes. Boss Yang, how is the sale of our eggs? The business is going well, right?" ?”

Yang Duoshun continued with a smile, "Very good, the eggs are very popular. We came here today, just to finalize the cooperation matters for next year."

Li Ping, who had been silent all this time, said, "Isn't it too early to decide now?"

"We are free now, let's finalize it first. If the negotiation is good, why don't we make up the contract by the way?"

Li Ping turned the cup around and said calmly, "At first we agreed to only sign for one year. I'm afraid we won't be able to cooperate with you after one year."

"Didn't it mean that after this year's exclusive agency contract, we have the priority to sign the contract?"

"That's true. If we want to hand over the business to other people, you two will naturally have the priority agency. However, we plan to do this business ourselves in the new year. There is no such thing as agency."

The worst prediction came true, Yang Duoshun and Huang Dafan looked at each other, their expressions were ugly.

Yang Duoshun laughed, "This year is our exclusive agency, and next year we don't pursue exclusiveness, we just want to be your agency. We can discuss it again and see what is more beneficial to both parties?"

Li Ping was very firm, "I'm sorry, I don't think we need to find an agent for our eggs next year. Let's see how to deal with it after the contract expires."

Huang Dafan didn't give up, "The big deal is that we don't set the price, you can set whatever price you want, we will continue to be your agent and earn hard money, anyway, after cooperating for so long, there is some kind of passion, isn't it?"

Li Ping smiled gently but firmly, "Since this is the case, there is absolutely no need for us to rush to sign the contract at this time years ago. We can wait until the contract expires and then come and see."

Yang Duoshun and Huang Dafan just wanted to continue to catch a leak, but they didn't expect his attitude to be so firm, and the smile on his face couldn't hold back for a while.

The old man came out to smooth things over, stuffed a cup of tea for each of them, and pushed the fruit plate containing melon seeds to them, and said with a smile: "We won't talk about business after Chinese New Year. Boss Yang and Boss Huang came from afar. Have a meal with us tonight, we just killed pigs and sheep today."

Yang Duoshun looked a little more relaxed, and smiled: "Then we are lucky, your pigs and sheep taste very good, we must have a taste."

After dinner, Zhao Shanshi arranged for them to stay overnight in a hotel in the town.

In fact, the hotel in the town was closed at this point, and Zhao Danshi was only acquainted with the owner of the hotel, so he could ask someone to clean up a room for them to live in.

Yang Duoshun and Huang Dafan didn't get the desired result, and they were not in a good mood. After moving in, the two sighed.

Huang Dafan put his hands behind his head and put his head on the pillow, "I said that with that kid's shrewdness, Yi Li would definitely not agree to renew the contract with us."

"Whether he agrees or not, we have to try it. I think their small company is about to rise, and agents of our level really can't get into their eyes."

"There are so many hens in their house, and they lay thousands of eggs a day. I think it would be embarrassing for them to sell so many eggs. I don't know what their plan is."

Yang Duoshun shook his head mockingly, "No matter what plans they have, we won't be needed anyway."

Huang Dafan: "Hey, you said we can't represent their eggs, can we represent their vegetables? You see, he also opened a vegetable shop in the county town, which shows that not all of their vegetables are sold at high prices, but some of them are We want to sell it to local residents. Since this is the case, why don’t we ask him how about acting as an agent for him? We don’t ask for much, and we can earn about [-] yuan a month.”

Yang Duoshun thought about it and thought it was feasible. When they woke up the next morning, they asked the owner of the hotel about Zhao Danji's vegetables.

The hotel owner said with a smile: "Their family's vegetables are now sold online. The store in the county has been closed. They said that they will sell wholesale vegetables in the future, and they will no longer sell their own vegetables."

"Why is it closed? I don't think the store in their county town is doing very well?"

"How do we know their business secrets? But I heard that the vegetables they sell online are very expensive, and the price of ordering vegetables in the county is too low. They said that the more they sell, the more they lose, so they closed the shop."

Zhao Danshi and the others kept a tight lid on the prices of their own things, only Yao Jingming, Peng Yuyun and Zhao Danshi's three apprentices really knew about them, and they only vaguely knew about the spoons.Zhao Jinsheng's son and daughter-in-law were even sent to work in the fields by Zhao Danshi, so they didn't know it at all.

Now in the village and the town, everyone is very curious about Zhao Danshi's food, but there is no information channel, and everyone is just asking.

Yang Duoshun was thoughtful, "Is that so?"

The proprietress smiled, "What's the matter, have you come all the way here to buy his food?"

"Yeah, isn't it because the quality of his food is good, so I want to sell it elsewhere."

"I think your business is difficult. If you want to sell vegetables, you might as well sell other vegetables."

"Are there any other dishes around here that can taste as good as Zhao Danshi's?"

"I'm not sure about that." The boss shook his head, "After Zhao Danshi and his business started, many young people came back this winter and started growing vegetables for sale. The taste is very good, and they are all grown with farmyard manure. The vegetables are quite popular in the town."

Yang Duoshun and the others didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. After hearing it, they shook their heads, not very interested in these vegetables.

Many people across the country advertise green vegetables, but in fact the taste is just that.

Of course they can make money by selling these vegetables, but they can only make a small amount of money, not a lot of money. They are old and don't want to bother for such a small amount of money.

The vegetables of Zhao Danshi's family are completely different, it is almost like a miracle, the same soil, the same climate, the vegetables he grows are better than those grown by others.

After breakfast, they drove to Zhao Danshi's house again. Zhao Danshi and the old man warmly entertained them, but they didn't let go of the contract renewal.

The two also proposed to act as an agent for their vegetables, which was also declined by Zhao Danshi.

There is no need to worry about selling their food now, so there is no need to put a layer of shackles on themselves.

The two of them could do nothing, they were 29 years old today, business negotiations could not be concluded, and the New Year still had to pass. After talking with Zhao Danshi for a while, they drove to the city.

Seeing that they had to travel all the way here before the Chinese New Year, Zhao Danshi felt very sorry, so he specially sent them home with a la carte meat.

Zhao Shanshi and the others had some pork and mutton left over from yesterday. They killed a chicken and a duck, and pulled out all kinds of vegetables. They are going to make New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

He originally wanted to invite his disciples and Shao Zi to have a New Year’s Eve dinner at home, but only Liu Erhua was free, and the others were all locals. Everyone wanted to go back to their homes to reunite with their relatives. Yesterday’s meal was considered a staff meal, and today there is no can't come here.

Zhao Danshi didn't mind, and prepared an annual gift for them in advance.

For the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhao Danshi is the chef, Liu Erhua is the assistant, and several others choose the dishes.

From three or four o'clock in the afternoon, some people kept setting off firecrackers.

They have to worship the gods during the New Year here, and the sand in the small cauldron used for inserting incense on many people's stoves has to be poured out and replaced with new sand.People coming and going by the river are all people who pack sand.

Many people also carried baskets filled with vegetables to worship their ancestors, and the sound of firecrackers was repeated over and over again.

Zhao Danshi and the others are going too, this year there are more DouDou, they plan to go up the mountain with DouDou in their arms.

Before going, Zhao Danshi hesitated, he went to the old man, "Grandpa, do you want to go with us to worship the ancestor?"

The old man was very calm, "We are all a family, why don't you go?"

Zhao Shanshi was a little embarrassed, "Senior brother, isn't this a man?"

"It doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman, as long as he is your partner." The old man waved his hand and asked again: "Is it because Ah Ping doesn't want to go?"

"No, I haven't told him yet."

"Then you go and ask him, they are all a family, so there is no need to care too much. If he is willing to go, you can let them go with me, and let the ancestors see it."

Li Ping was a little surprised that the old man was willing to let him go to worship the ancestors, so he immediately asked: "What should I prepare?"

"What are you preparing? You don't need to prepare anything, just dress up and go with us."

Li Ping nodded solemnly, changed into a slim trench coat and came out.

He is tall and long-legged, and he is usually very handsome. With a little grooming, he has the demeanor of an international supermodel. Zhao Danshi's heart is pounding faster when he looks at him from the side.

Li Ping came out, hugged DouDou, "Let's go."

The old man came out with a bamboo basket in his hand, which contained a hatchet, paper money, side dishes and other worship utensils.

They went out of the courtyard gate and walked around the mountain along the path.

Quite a few people had come back from offering sacrifices to their ancestors. When they met them, they nodded and greeted them.

Most of the young people and children in the village came back, and the small village suddenly became very lively with the sound of firecrackers.

Since the No.20 of this month, there have been firecrackers sounding one after another. DouDou is used to this sound and doesn't feel scared.

Instead, he would giggle at the sound.

Their family's ancestral grave is not far away in Qiaoshan, and the ancestral graves of the entire Zhao family are nearby.

Several people cut off the branches extending to the ancestral grave, and pulled out the weeds. After the ancestral grave was clean, the old man took them to worship each grave.

The latest grave was Zhao Shanshi’s grandma. When it was his turn, the old man’s tone was very sentimental, with tears in his eyes, “Old lady, I brought Yunyun and the others to see you. The tall one in the middle The young man is Yunyun's object, A Ping, and the doll he is holding is Yunyun's child, and also your great-grandson Doudou, whose name is Li Ningxi, and we are all living well."

After finishing this sentence, the old man paused, and then said: "Tiangong and the others are doing well outside, so you don't have to worry."

Zhao Tiangong was Zhao Shanshi's father, and Zhao Shanshi's heart was moved.

After the old man finished speaking, he went up to talk to grandma.

Li Ping also said a few words.

After worshiping the ancestors, everyone went down the mountain together. Before they got home, the old man's mobile phone rang.

The old man took out his mobile phone, looked at the caller ID on it, and then looked at Zhao Danshi, his eyes became a little complicated.

"It's my dad?" Zhao Shanshi asked.

The old man waved his hand, "Yunyun, you and Ah Ping go back with your pockets first, and I'll talk to him."

Zhao Danshi nodded, not intending to stay and talk to his father.

After Zhao Danshi walked five or six meters away, the old man answered the phone, "Hello."

"Dad, it's me."

The old man straightened his slightly hunched back, "I know."

There was a moment of silence over there, "How are you doing recently? Are you in good health?"

"It's all right. You are in good health, you can sleep well after eating well, don't worry."

"Hey, that's fine."

The father and son were silent for a while, and Zhao Tiangong asked, "Dad, Zhuoyun is with you."

The old man: "Zhuo Yun is not here."

"How come?!" Zhao Tiangong raised his voice an octave in shock, "I heard people say that he lives with you, and he has lived there for almost a year."

"Zhao Zhuoyun is indeed not here. He changed his name. Now he is called Zhao Danshi. There is no such person as Zhao Zhuoyun."

Zhao Tiangong was a little angry, "Dad, when are you still kidding me?"

"I'm not joking, without Zhao Zhuoyun, you don't need to look for him in the future."

Zhao Tiangong was silent for a while, and said, "Does he still hate us?"

The old man didn't answer, but asked: "What do you and your wife think about his matter now?"

"He still can't change, like men?"

"Do you care if he changes or not? Just tell me, what do you think of him now, can you accept him?"

"If he changes, he will still be my son."

"If you haven't changed it, you don't intend to recognize this son?"

Zhao Tian bowed stiffly and said: "Our old Zhao family doesn't have such a shameful thing that cuts off children and grandchildren?"

"Who is Lao Zhao?" The old man asked lightly: "I am not dead yet, you just call yourself Lao Zhao? Let me tell you, he hasn't changed, he still likes men, and he already has a regular partner. My partner has also lived with me for almost a year, and the two of them brought a son..."

Zhao Tiangong jumped up all of a sudden, "What the hell? He still has the guts to bring a wild man to live with you..."

The old man shouted loudly: "Don't open your mouth and keep your mouth shut!"

The father and son fell silent.

The old man spoke again, "You don't recognize his son, do you?"

"Anyway, our family can't have such a son whose spine is poked!"

"Okay, since you don't recognize him, what else do you accept from him? Did you accept it for a year?"

Zhao Tiangong was speechless.

The old man said: "If you don't admit it, don't admit it. Be tough, and don't ask for his things. On the one hand, you say you don't have this son, and on the other hand, you eat all kinds of things sent by your son, and take his son's money. Then don't say you Dad, I despise you."

Zhao Tiangong: "Dad, where are you from?"

"On Yunyun's side." The old man sighed, "Okay, I have received your New Year's greetings, so that's it. You don't have to worry about me, Yunyun will take care of me for you. You were supposed to take care of me, but he took care of me." You, now that he raises me, your relationship should be cancelled. He is a good boy, since you don't recognize him, don't accept his things, don't hurt his heart, he even changed his name, so he probably doesn't want to recognize you. "

Before the old man was about to hang up, Zhao Tiangong suddenly said: "He brought back a man and a child, what do people in the village think?"

"How can you look at it? This is our family's own business. What's the matter with the people in the village?" The old man didn't expect that he still only cares about his own face, and said a little sadly: "The son you have worked so hard to raise has not yet How important is your face?"

Zhao Tiangong: "Anyway, I can't accept this matter. I won't accept his things in the future. You tell him not to send them. When are you free, let's pick you up and play here?"

"What are you playing? I'm over 80 years old, so I can still walk. If you really want to, just come to the village and meet me once or twice before I die." The old man hoarsely said, "Okay, okay, hang up Well, happy new year to you too."

After hanging up the phone, the old man walked slowly home.

Many people greeted him again on the road, and no one dared to reveal the discrimination that Zhao Tiangong was worried about.

Seeing this bustling scene, the old man felt better.

When he got home, Zhao Danshi had already prepared the first dish, and the yard was full of fragrance.

Yao Jingming came out with the plate of stir-fried mutton, picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth. While hissing and inhaling, he couldn't help but bend his eyes for the delicious taste in his mouth. Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his head, he saw the Start with the old man who is coming in.

Yao Jingming was not guilty at all, he stretched out the plate in front of the old man, and said with a smile: "This fried mutton is very good, grandpa, would you like a piece too?"

The old man smiled and waved his hand to refuse, Zhao Mingtai took the dishes to the living room and put them away.

When it was just dark, the New Year's Eve dinner was ready, and everyone sat around the dining table, opened wine and drinks, and raised their glasses to congratulate each other.

Yao Jingming said with emotion, "Last year I was chasing girls from all over the world, but I didn't expect to start a career with Shan Shi and them this year. For Shan Shi and A Ping, for ourselves, for our career, let's drink!"

"Come on, cheers!"

Zhao Shanshi raised his glass and toasted: "In the year that is about to pass, we have achieved very good results. I hope that we will also be prosperous in the new year and achieve better results."

The rest of the people were not fond of toasting, so they didn't stand up and said, but the old man poured a glass, "Everyone will have a healthy and happy new year."

While they were eating, someone outside had already started setting off fireworks.

There are no taboos in the countryside. Everyone earns money and buys a happy New Year. Big barrels of fireworks are released outside. Now is the first round, and the colorful colors have already exploded in the sky.

"Flowers." I couldn't eat anymore, so I stretched out my little finger to the sky.

Looking from the door, we could only see a corner of the fireworks. Zhao Danshi and Li Ping went out in arms, and everyone went out to watch the fun. They didn't come in until all the fireworks were over, and it came to an end for a while.

They ate this meal from [-] o'clock to [-] o'clock, and the Spring Festival Gala started before they finished eating. Although they complained every year, everyone would turn on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala every year.

Last year, Doudou was not born today, but it was his first time to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Seeing the bustling scene on the TV screen, he couldn't help staring with wide eyes.

Someone started to set off fireworks outside again, looking around at the TV, looking at the corner of the fireworks exposed outside, reluctant to bear any of them, his little head kept spinning.

Zhao Danshi took out his mobile phone, turned on the webcast of the Spring Festival Gala, and Li Ping walked out with his arms around him.

Only then did Doudou feel happy, and clapped his little hands in Li Ping's arms with an "ah"

The old man cleared the table, Peng Yuyun was busy to help, everyone worked together, the table was put away in a while, Liu Erhua went to wash the dishes, and everyone watched the fireworks in the yard together.

The weather is quite cold, but it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

The fireworks outside came to an end, Zhao Shanshi and the others started to set off the fireworks.

The fireworks were set off in the courtyard, Li Ping went to light the fire, and Zhao Shanshi covered Doudou's ears.

After the sound of "咻——", large groups of fireworks exploded on the sky, with bright colors.

DouDou tilted his head vigorously, without blinking.

A new year is about to begin.
