Not to mention that the Chinese New Year is only two days away, and the whole house is even more lively.
Apart from the old man who was sitting on the sofa and looking at everyone with a smile, there was a group of people gathered in front of the old man.
They are Lixia's eldest uncle and second uncle, and two exquisite aunts beside them. Not far away is a little girl who is buried in her mobile phone. I vaguely remember that this should be the second uncle's daughter, called Xia Lan?
Maybe it was born in a wealthy family, the little girl's temper is a bit domineering, and there were many disputes when she came to play in the unprosperous Lixia's family. As a result, with the development of West Street, the economics of Dad and Blue Sky Media The status has also risen, and gradually, the uncle and the second uncle have restrained their colored glasses.
Speaking of which, when West Street was being rebuilt and expanded, my father helped Boss Li with the important tasks for a period of time, such as the establishment of a restaurant, the division of areas, and all kinds of arrangements were made by Li Xia's father. .Even after the repairs on West Street were completed, the old man's name still hangs in the company, and he can be regarded as well-known.
As for the eldest and second uncles back then, one worked in the food wholesale business and the other opened a restaurant. It was also thanks to the kindness of the third brother that they were able to successfully establish a cooperative relationship with West Street.
Now seeing that Zhiyu's benefactor came over, how could the two elder brothers have any reason to be unhappy and climb up?
"Xiaolang, you're here."
"That's to say, it's been a long time. Our Xiaolang is getting younger and more handsome the longer he grows!"
The uncle gave his thumbs up there and patted Li Xia's father on the back one after another. The expression on his face should be as polite as possible.
Before they made their fortunes, the two older brothers would call each other the third younger brother, with some contempt in their words. Unexpectedly, with the third younger brother's rise to the top, even this title would change.
Well, our family's Xiaolang, our family's.
Listen, how proud is it, how proud?
"Okay, okay, you guys should be more serious." Perhaps because he couldn't bear the extremely boring address, the old man laughed, but he avoided the uncle's pat on the shoulder calmly.
The two elder brothers didn't care at all, they laughed loudly, and then moved a packing bag out from the back room.
"Xiaolang, come here and help me. This is a gift we bought for the old man."
The packing bag looked quite formal, and it was quite large, even if two grown men were holding it in their hands, they were both gasping for breath, and it was probably quite heavy.
"what is this?"
"It's a big [-]-inch color TV! I wonder if there's nothing to send for the Chinese New Year? You, Xiaolang, must have packed the rice, oil and salt. I discussed it with my second brother, and we partnered up to give the old man a home appliance."
There is no shortage of things in the old man's house. If the three brothers gave them all the same rice oil, it would probably be broken before the day they finished eating.
Since it is wasted out of thin air, it is better to send something more affordable and useful.
If it was the previous years, the gifts prepared by the uncle and uncle would not be so delicate, nothing more than some duvets or bedding, and they have been the same for three consecutive years, so they are very careful.
When I got home, I wouldn't say hello to the old man, just put down the gift and left without saying a word, just looking indifferent.
Don't blame them for being unfilial. The uncle and uncle went to sea early, not to mention making a lot of money, but they also claimed to be a well-off family.It's just that with the changes in the market, the economy of the eldest uncle and the second uncle has been going downhill all year round. The small money in his hands is making less money, and people are also frowning. How can they be polite?
Fortunately, later, they met their third brother Xia Xiaolang, and through the help of West Street Commercial Street, they gradually stabilized the economy that was about to collapse.
In this way, Xia Xiaolang, the third younger brother who is not obvious and not leaky, is indeed a benefactor of rebuilding compared to his two older brothers, right?
Well, this analogy is quite unrealistic. In a daze, the movements of the uncle and uncle were quite nimble, and it took a while to install the TV on the wall.
They said they wanted the third brother to help, but how dare they really make him work harder?In addition to the kindness of knowing you, the third younger brother can be regarded as their immediate boss, and the relationship between the saddle and the horse must be properly settled.
Seeing that the tinkering was almost done, the old man was also quick-witted, and plugged the set-top box in the package into the wire and connected it to the back of the display screen.
Press the switch, and a blue background lights up like this.
It's just that the screen turned on and off, and the dense prompts and English on it made the three old men have a hard time.
They are not old hats, but this LCD color TV is still a new product developed in the past two years, and it is inevitable that they will be tied up.
"How to open this? What about those channels and columns? I can't do it, why don't I call your Lan'er?"
In the end, there was nothing to do, so the second uncle had to inform his daughter.
"Lan, come here quickly, uncle asks you something."
The little girl was still fiddling with her mobile phone, but she came over reluctantly after being urged twice by her father.
"What are you looking at..."
The rosy lips pursed slightly, still looking unhappy.
It turned out that she hadn't had time to touch the remote control yet.
A figure at the side jumped out.
Li Xia smiled lightly, then adjusted two or three buttons on the set-top box casually, and in an instant, a picture appeared on the blue screen.
It was a news column, the host was in a suit and leather shoes, and he was nagging about something in front of the TV.And the uncle and the second uncle were also slightly surprised, laughing and flattering beside them.
This LCD TV is indeed a rare thing for people in 13, but for Lixia, a reborn person, it is no different from a backgammon point reader.
"The little girl is still as smart as ever, she was adjusted so quickly? If we are old bones, we probably won't be able to play for a day."
"That's to say, long time no see, Lixia is getting longer and more beautiful. By the way, how is the college entrance examination? Which university do you go to now? It must be the key point..."
Noisy.
Full of flattery.
And listen to these tiresome flattery.
The eldest lady didn't respond yet, but Xia Lan, who had been robbed of the limelight, was slightly taken aback.
Looking at the embarrassed cousin who was holding her head in the crowd.
Subconsciously, he frowned.
…………
Just like that, the things were arranged in the house, and a group of people started to tidy up their bedrooms.
Since Lixia and the others came two days earlier, their family had to spend the night at their old home before dinner on the [-]th night.
In addition, there are no hotels nearby, so it is logical to live in my grandfather's house.
Although the house here is narrow and crude, it is not a problem to make another bedroom for my mother and Lixia to spend the night.
As for the father, since there is no spare bedroom for him, he can only spend the night on the coffee table in the living room.
It's pretty tough.
In the winter night, there is no heating or air conditioning in this house, and you have to spend three nights on the cold coffee table. The difficulty can be imagined.
As for the uncle and the second uncle, since they still have supplies to deal with, naturally they don't have time to wander around the house.
After putting down the New Year's goods, the two started their journey without stopping.
"Why don't you sit still, I'll ask for leave for Boss Li on West Street." The old man smiled cheerfully, it's rare to enjoy family happiness, and now he volunteered to help.
There is nothing wrong with this sentence, after all, as the father, Boss Li will still give him some face.
"No, to make money, the profit can only be high when everyone is resting." As a result, the two uncles smiled cheerfully and waved their hands, declining the idea.
During the Spring Festival, other supply channels and stores are closed for rest, so naturally, their stores will be able to obtain greater profits.
Even if there is no need to increase the price, the daily turnover has increased a lot compared to the past when there were no festivals.
"That's fine, be careful on the road." Seeing that the two of them didn't intend to stay, the old man also nodded and didn't continue to be polite.
Just like that, the two packed their clothes and came near the entrance.
Before he had time to open the door, he patted the shoulder of the somewhat arrogant little niece Xia Lan before leaving.
"Lan'er can stay at home, Xiaolang, and siblings, please help take care of her. This child is good, don't make noise."
It's really not suitable to go back and forth on this road, which is tiring and has to run with an underage child.
"No problem, no problem." After all, mom and dad are also professional families with children, and they can support even a delicate girl like Li Xia, let alone such a delicate 16-year-old girl.
Immediately, he responded with a smile.
It's been a long time since Xia Lan, who used to be coquettish and wayward, seems to have grown up a little bit, she is no longer as ruthless and willful as before, she opened her mouth and called Lixia's family poor relatives, but said hello to uncle and aunt with a sullen head.
That obedient appearance made my mother laugh while covering her cheeks.
"The girl is very polite."
Xia Lan grinned.
He scratched his head belatedly, his expression a little naive.
Instead, he turned his gaze away, and couldn't help but look aside, his cousin with a delicate face.
When seeing the other party, the little cousin frowned again.
I don't know what I'm secretly resisting.
Just like that, as the footsteps outside the gate left, the whole room became empty again.
Apart from the frequent whispering at the entrance of the yard, the house was quite quiet.
After saying hello, Xia Lan is currently playing Dragon Quest silently on the sofa while clutching her mobile phone. It seems to be a stand-alone game, turn-based, and she has no interest in Lixia, but for these adolescent girls That said, similar games are quite attractive.
As for the parents, they also knew that their daughter had manuscripts to sort out, so they kept quiet.
Grandpa is not a person who likes to make loud noises, and the noise my mother mentioned during the phone call before probably came from the seven aunts and eight aunts at the entrance of the yard.
There are few people in Zhang County. In order to find the flavor of the New Year, the New Year's Eve dinner is also a form of collages of neighbors and neighbors.
In addition, many times, relatives from outside will come to pay New Year's greetings. Naturally, this New Year's Eve dinner has become an occasion for comparing each other.
This is normal, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
And back then, because he hadn't made a fortune yet, his father was also despised by many people from his hometown, both openly and secretly.
It was precisely because of the bad treatment she had received before that my mother wanted to think about moving back.
And this day, that is, New Year's Eve, is not far from now.
Well, these are all things in the future, so it’s a little bit overreaching right now.
Li Xia was funny, shook his head, and shook the inexplicable thoughts out of his head.
The subordinates were not idle, and turned on the computer, intending to check the manuscript.
I didn't expect to have time to start it.
Seeing that it was almost time, the old man stood up and knocked on the door of the house.
"It's noon, let's go have a meal together."
Li Xia stretched himself.
Put on your coat and follow Dad.
out the door.
There is a dining room for residents in Zhang County, and it is not far from the entrance of the courtyard, and it is only a kilometer away.
Of course, you can also cook at home to fill your stomach. This is not mandatory, but compared with the dining room, the food there is very cheap and it is also popular in many villages.
It was not long before noon, and when I opened the door to shelter from the wind, I saw the noise in the room.
Although it is not as bustling as the school dining room, there are still many residents sitting there.
Hearing the movement of the gate, a group of people looked over, but they just glanced subconsciously. As a result, their eyes, which were still casual, froze for a moment, and then they heard various whispers.
How could such a beautiful girl go unnoticed?
Li Xia was a little helpless, shrank his neck, and then stood behind his father calmly.
Use him as a shield.
(Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone! I’m going to leave relatives today, so I’ll update it earlier.)
Chapter 175 Chapter 175, Agent's Agent
The dishes in the dining room are not too expensive. They are nothing more than home-cooked dishes, such as braised pork head, pork, green bamboo shoots, fried dried seeds, etc. The price is not expensive. You can buy a small bowl for more than ten yuan, which is better than that in the city. The consumption here is much cheaper.
On the contrary, the vegetarian dishes here seem to be more expensive. Some out-of-season green vegetables can be seen everywhere. A plate of 12 yuan is [-] yuan. Although it is cheaper than restaurants in the city, it is cheaper than meat dishes. It seems a little expensive.
Dad casually ordered two plates of meat dishes and two servings of rice, but in the end he felt unsatisfactory, so he simply asked for Erguotou from the canteen next door, and drank it comfortably in paper cups.
"Have you got wine? Why don't you give me one too."
The eldest lady, who hadn't touched alcohol for a long time, was so greedy that she drools.
Pi Dian Pi Dian got down from his seat, and asked the boss for another disposable paper cup, but before he could pour the wine into the glass, the old man patted the girl on the head and brought a bottle of fruit orange .
"Children, what kind of Moutai Wuliangye do you drink? Go drink your fruit orange."
Does this rant sound familiar?
