I'm just sorry for plagiarism

Speaking of which, at the beginning, the uncle and the second uncle had agreed to come to Dad's place for a meal, but because of the busy work these two days, they had no choice but to cancel it.

It is true, as the business is getting busier, the uncle and uncle seem to be gradually running out of skills.

In fact, around 06, the family of the uncle who opened the restaurant was always closed on the two days of the Chinese New Year. However, in recent years, the taste of the New Year has become stronger in small counties, and various small restaurants have begun to contract for the cooking of the New Year’s Eve dinner. The profit is extremely high, and an ordinary bowl of porridge can even sell for four or five times the high price. This has caused my uncle to want to get his hands on this big cake.

Uncle's restaurant can be regarded as one of the top brands in the local area. Although it is not as famous as West Street, it is quite large in scale.If their family worked overtime and didn't take a break, the turnover for the entire New Year's Eve would probably explode.

As for the second uncle, in the last two days, the business stocks on West Street had to be negotiated. He didn't do the job of contracting the New Year's Eve dinner, but just ran around, discussing business with those big leaders in the name of treating guests to dinner.

Everyone in the yamen knows that the closer the festival is, the tighter the various internal assessments will be. However, because of this rare opportunity, the second uncle has a legitimate reason to say that he will give preferential treatment to these leaders.

Since the two families were so busy, the meal had to be canceled naturally.

Although the party was rescheduled to the banquet held by the outside merchant, but the days would have to go to the eighth day of the lunar new year. Naturally, the taste of the new year is fading, which is not interesting.

But for the pigeon release of the two elder brothers, this is what my father wished for.

After all, the relationship between Xia Xiaolang and Xia Dahai is indeed not particularly good. In the early years, the two brothers relied on various cases of making a fortune in the sea to frustrate the third younger brother. If it weren't for the two years of gathering An excuse can be evaded, and the old man has long since wanted to touch this Lao Shizi's dinner party.

As for the fact that my father has gradually developed in West Street in the past two years, the two elder brothers who were once looked down upon by him have become his own horses, and they are courteous in every possible way. This kind of change also makes my father a little unaccustomed.

It is said that Fu Zaishan has distant relatives. This kind of family relationship that gradually changes due to changes in money and status really makes my father dumbfounded.

Still sitting quietly at the dinner table like this, the family of three ate in silence, but it was more peaceful and peaceful.

In winter evenings, the sky always gets dark very, very fast. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, the whole sky is gradually covered with a trace of darkness.

Even the setting of the sun was omitted. In the blink of an eye, the twilight climbed into the sky.

And as the sky gradually darkened, a series of firecrackers sounded gradually.

The people in the small county are relatively poor. In the past two years, everyone liked to play with the kind of firecrackers that looked like dropped cannons. There was no spark, and they crackled when thrown on the ground.

But there are still many children and their parents having fun.

As for the past 10 years, gradually, many fireworks have also stepped onto the stage, and the big chimneys that exploded all over the place are placed there horizontally, pointing obliquely at the sky, full of momentum.

The person next to him took out the windproof lighter, lit the fuse, and then quickly stepped back, covering his ears.

More than ten seconds later, accompanied by a loud noise, the entire dark sky is no longer stained with colorful patterns, which is really beautiful.

When he was a child in his previous life, Li Xia liked to play with the kind of firecrackers that could be held in his hand, but his purpose was not to throw them into the sky, but to throw them on the road not far away. He especially liked to watch those pedestrians get scared. At that time, the bewildered expression was quite amusing and quite skinny.

It's just that her mentality is old in this life, and if she is asked to do such immoral things, Li Xia loses interest.

"Here, it's here for you, save yourself some fun." Dad smiled when he was halfway through the meal, and pulled out two or three small fireworks like fire trees and silver flowers from his side as if by magic, and handed them to Li Xia's hand.

The eldest lady glanced at it, but yawned, "It's too cold outside, dad, if you want to let it go, go out and play by yourself."

The old man was a little helpless, "You didn't see that the children next door are very lively, why can't you do it here, you old man."

Old people?

In my previous life, I sat in various offices, and my standard of living was even more pampered than that of my father. It seems that the elderly are really not too much.

"That's right, it's good for a girl to be quiet, but she needs some energy after all." My mother was also nagging earnestly at the side.

I vaguely remember that since 11, their county has gradually implemented a ban on burning. Although this is a good thing, it has gradually dimmed people's expectations for the Spring Festival.

The small county is small in size, although it can't be said to be airtight, but it is not particularly difficult to go around for news or something.

It is estimated that the news of the internal proposal of static combustion has already been passed on to the masses, so the common people will use this last year to go crazy and try not to leave any regrets.

Outside the house, there are sometimes footsteps visiting the house, and occasionally there are voices of unfamiliar childish children shouting for red envelopes for Chinese New Year, etc., which is quite lively.

In contrast, although my mother's family has a rich menu, it seems a little deserted.

A group of three people looked at each other, wide-eyed.In the end, in desperation, I had to turn up the sound of the TV to the maximum to make the dining room less deserted.

"Actually, the Spring Festival Gala is pretty good, right?" Mom frowned, comforting herself.

"That's right." The old man echoed behind him.

After thinking about it, my mother said again.

"Actually, if your eldest brother and second brother are not so busy, it's okay to call for a reunion in two days."

At first, my mother was quite annoyed by these two relatives, but now that there is a comparison, she is silently thinking about it.

The old man was a little dumbfounded: "Let's watch TV."

The family ate early, and there was still nearly half an hour before the Spring Festival Gala starting at [-] o'clock, and what was broadcast on TV was the annual summary of some local stations.

The programs in the small county town have never been very rich, at least in the past two years, but with the arrival of Mr. Zhou Runfa, the news in the whole county seems to have flourished.

The economy has developed, the roads have been repaired, West Street has become more and more exciting and fun, and there are many high-rise buildings. The major events that happened this year are no less than those in big cities.

It can even be said that in two years, if Yecheng's overall system and economy rank among the top in the country, it seems that it will be no problem to get the reputation of a first-tier city.

Although the TV is said to be a summary of the year, it still gathers together the various activities held by the juvenile literature in the past two years, and mentions it every year, and never tires of it.

My mother was still eating, but she was attracted by the magnetic voice of the announcer. She bit her chopsticks and watched silently. Suddenly, she said with emotion: "Who the hell did you say that Chow Yun-fat is? He looks quite talented. , You should have made a lot of money in the past two years, right?"

"This, you have to ask her herself." The old man shook his head and smiled, and glanced at his daughter.

I didn't take up this topic.

----

After the thirtieth day of the new year, and from the first day of the new year to the fifth day of the new year, the beginning of summer is spent in a hazy state.

Whether it is near or far, the start of school is probably on the 2th of February, but since school holidays also have to make up classes, the day of school is imminent.

The past two days have indeed been quite hazy, as if it is night when you open your eyes, and a whole day has passed when you close your eyes again.

Time flies.

I didn't write much in the manuscript in my hand. It seemed that there was a kind of inertia at home, and the laziness made the eldest lady, who was finally able to rest, forget the troubles at work for a while.

On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar new year, just after dawn, Li Xia was thrown to the ground by the quilt of his mother.

"Hurry up and change clothes, we are going to the temple fair!"

This is also something that was said earlier.

Participating in temple fairs is a must-do job for people in small counties every year.

The process is very simple. It is nothing more than going to the Bodhisattva temple to worship, draw a root stick, and make a good wish for the coming year in your heart, and then it's over.

It's just that due to the large population, families in twos and threes will often get together after the temple fair to have a light meal.

And since most of the diners were students and parents, all kinds of comparisons were common in the dinner, which made people feel a headache.

It's just that as Mingde's family dominates, similar dinners are rarely arranged.After all, the parents of children who did not pass the Mingde exam were overwhelmed at birth. This kind of aggrieved feeling is really meaningless.

The eldest lady woke up late, yawned and went to the bathroom, tidied up her messy head for the past two days, and then saw the old man pushing the broken car out of the house.

It creaked. Fortunately, there was no oil leak, but the door was in disrepair for a long time. If you didn't put your foot on it, the co-pilot's door might not be able to be opened.

My mother glanced at it and couldn't help complaining: "I told you to get a new car a long time ago. You are so stingy every day. I am too embarrassed to attend the neighbor's party at the door." '

There are also many students in front of Lixia's house with excellent grades, but for Lixia, there are only two people in the whole yard who have passed the Mingde examination, one from Lixia Station, and another strange boy is No.2.And the other party's grades are not as good as the young lady's, at best they are just ordinary class students.

Originally, this achievement among the neighbors should be something to be particularly proud of.But it was precisely because of my father's stingy character that my mother often couldn't hold her head up in the nagging among neighbors.

"Children from poor families are already in charge of the family."

"No wonder Li Xia did so well in the exam."

"That's right, if she doesn't do well in the exam, it is estimated that their Xia family will have no way out in the future."

Similar sarcasm was overwhelming.

Dad is not from the Yamen, and he usually keeps a low profile, some neighbors who have no eyesight can naturally tell his success.

Moreover, in the past two years, he was busy with official duties, and his father seldom went home, which led to a unclear understanding of gossip.

"What are you doing? The company also needs money to invest recently. I can't afford to lose sight of the other." Sure enough, Mr. Xia, who didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, still waved his hand and dismissed it with an indifferent look on his face.

This sentence is actually a bit of nonsense, the company's Zhou Zheng's funds have nothing to do with the father's personal salary, and the reason why he is so prevaricated is that the father himself thinks that the money should be used wisely, and always engage in these useless extravagances product, it doesn't really make sense.

Why does the car have to be driven well, and it is fine if it can be used?Except for the aging of the equipment, there is basically nothing wrong with the two at home. Why do you want to save face and replace it with a high-end one?

Also, the mother-in-law has been nagging about changing a new house recently, and my father can't understand it. After all, the decoration of the house has been renovated for a long time. Although the area is a bit small, it is more than enough for three people to live in. It is not only warm, but also just right. Why do you have to spend a lot of extra money in such an unnecessary place?

Is this too wasteful?

"Anyway, what you said is right, I can't tell you." Seeing the attitude of the old man who was doing nothing again, the mother was a little unhappy, leaned aside, and stopped talking.

But Li Xia sat in the back row, slightly squinting his eyes.

167 Chapter 164, dressing up

Drive to the temple fair.

The location is next to the Dun Hotel that I used to attend in my freshman year of high school. It is a relatively flat section of road, but due to the vigorous development in the past two years, the once sluggish road has also become a peaceful and prosperous commercial street.

Although the scale is not as large as West Street, it is bustling with traffic, but it can be regarded as a busy place.

It's just that the days are delayed, so the number of people visiting the New Year in four weeks is not as dense as that in the first day of the new year.

Even the streets where people come and go now are not as congested as they were during the Spring Festival.

My mother got out of the car alone, put the luggage on the trunk, then walked to the statue of Bodhisattva, bowed, took the fireworks sold at the side, lit and plugged them in, and then cupped her hands, I don't know what is muttering in my mouth.

In the car not far away, the father and daughter were pointing in the car.

"What wish did you say your mother would make?"

"Maybe it's about promotion, wealth, health and happiness in the coming year?" Li Xia didn't care, resting his hands on the back of his head, yawning boredly.

Well, most old people like to say these words of blessing, which is nothing new.

"Maybe there's something else too?" Dad pondered for a while before he couldn't help but say.

"For example?" Li Xia raised his eyebrows.

Through the rearview mirror, the father glanced at his daughter, who was getting more and more beautiful, and hesitated to speak: "For example, let you find a good wife, or become more feminine... Do you think it is possible? "

Li Xia suddenly rolled his eyes.

Speaking of which, the college entrance examination is just around the corner, and college career is about to begin.This seems to be a turning point for many parents' ideas about their children.

In high school and junior high school, many parents would worry about their children's academic performance and ranking, but when they arrive at university, many parents will put their children's feelings first.

Not only is the turn unusually blunt, it's also kind of weird.It seems that the coursework in the university doesn't matter, as long as you don't fail the subjects, you can pass, and you can get the degree certificate smoothly, everything will be smooth sailing.

Moreover, the parents of the woman's family believed in this concept even more, as if her grades and credits after college were not as realistic as her daughter's ability to marry a good family and be favored by a rich husband.

However, this concept is really a bit abrupt.

After all, whether at home or abroad, university is just a starting point.Even in life, it is not an exaggeration to say that real life really begins in the year of adulthood.At least Lixia appreciates this kind of concept.

So for her mother's anxious appearance, she can't use the words "do not understand" to describe it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a two-way person.

"Isn't it too early to say these things?" Thinking about it, Li Xia couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Only this time, the old man rolled his eyes bigger than him, and it was more obvious: "It's too early, you will be an adult soon, speaking of it, you said it was too early when I asked you this question three years ago, now Three years and three years, you're almost going to be a lonely family, don't you worry?"

Li Xia couldn't help laughing.It's really rare for my father, who has always devoted himself to work, to talk about this kind of private matter with himself.

"Why do you feel like you were blown by my mother, and I don't usually see you bring up this topic."

The old man just smiled, and instead of answering, he rolled his eyes and changed the topic to other aspects: "What's the matter with you and boy Wang? I saw his attitude a little weird before, how should you say, you Offended the other party?"

"Obviously he provoked me, okay?" Thinking of all the things that happened, Li Xia retorted.

Although these things have already happened, and gradually, Li Xia can understand what Lao Wang thinks, but he still feels a little bit sorry for the hurdle in his heart.

It's usually fine, but after being so provoked by his father, Li Xia showed his true colors a little bit.

"What's the matter? What happened?" The old man looked over with a half-smile, with a gossip-burning expression on his face.

The eldest lady was a little silent.

Since the old man is already half of West Street's insider, it might not seem abrupt to tell him about the young old Wang's withdrawal of shares.

"Then I told you that you have to keep it a secret from my mother?"

"That's not true, your father's mouth is quite strict."

Dad just chuckled, a little curious.

In the end, before he had time to speak, his mother had already dealt with the worship of the temple, walked back from afar, opened the door on the side, and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

At the end, he snorted, as if holding his breath.
