Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 697 Visiting Relatives (Happy New Year’s Eve to all the bosses)

However, if Han's mother hadn't said openly or secretly that she wanted to have a grandson, Han Li would have been able to hold on to his happiness of entering his 20th anniversary until the end.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Han Li had more tasks today. He had to go to his eldest sister's place early to pay New Year greetings, and he also had to stay for breakfast.

When Han Li arrived at Lanmian Alley on his bicycle, Sister Han had been waiting at the street gate. When she saw her brother coming, she came up to catch him with excitement.

"Little brother, let me see if you have endured hardship for coming back late this year. You were dragged away by Yu Daqiang when I came home a year ago."

"Sister, your brother and I are now the deputy dean after all. How can we suffer? You seem to have lost a lot of weight in the past six months. Are your family members angry with you? I went to demolish their house. .”

"Don't talk nonsense, you're celebrating the New Year. No one is making me angry. There are a few people taking care of the children who are not thin. It will be fine when they are stronger and older."

"Won't the aunt of the Dai family help take care of you?"

"Bring it with you, why don't you bring it with you? This is their first grandson, but I have to take it with me at night."

"If the child makes a fuss at night, ask Dai Jing'an to wake him up and take care of him. If he doesn't move, beat him hard. If he dares to be stubborn and fight back, I will definitely let him know why Lord Ma has three eyes."

"I know you are the best, little brother, but eldest sister is not a fool either. If I can't handle this, then you are too weak."

"Is my mother holding her?"

Yun Jingjing had prepared everything at home today. The first step after Han Li arrived was to go through the necessary procedures.

Maybe it was because of the New Year, but Yun Ma's attitude towards Han Li was much better.

"Brother, I don't want to be separated from Yingying for a long time. I have already made plans in this regard, but I need to take a chance on a position that suits my heart. I have asked an elder to help keep an eye on this."

"There is really no specific goal for this. Let's wait until the elder writes the letter. He won't tell me about it in ordinary units."

The eldest brother-in-law tried his best to persuade Han Li to drink. Coupled with the little nephew's yelling beside him, Han Li drank a little more than in previous years.

"Han Li, although you have been established now and have become the dean at the deputy department level, it is not a problem for you to stay in the Northeast. Do you have any thoughts of returning to Sijiu City recently?"

"Brother-in-law, where is Zhuang Zhuang?"

The two siblings walked into the courtyard while talking. At this time, the eldest brother-in-law Dai Jing'an heard the sound and came over to greet them.

This year, they were a little different from last year, who did things half-heartedly, drank two glasses of wine and then left. They sat here with them for a long time, and did not leave until the eldest brother of the Dai family came to visit relatives.

After a few glasses of wine, the brother-in-law started asking questions.

The New Year greetings were still the same. Han Li said a few words to the two elders of the Dai family and then came to the eldest sister's house.

After eating dumplings, Han Li left his eldest sister's house and rode his bicycle home. After arriving home, he simply washed up and told his father and mother about the situation at Dai's house. Then, at his mother's urging, I got off the bus, picked up my things and took Yun Yingying to Yun's house.

While Han Li was sitting on the bedside teasing him, the eldest sister and brother-in-law had already laid out the food and drinks.

"My little brother is here."

The little nephew Zhuangzhuang was also brought back. This little guy is now crawling all over the bed. Even wearing a thick cotton coat can't stop his little arms and legs from constantly moving.

"That's right. It may be easier for you in the Northeast, but the opportunities are much different than those in Sijiu City. You have to work within the system for a few years, and there are many more opportunities here than down there. You have If there is no unit that you like, if there is, we will help you keep an eye on it."

Because Han Li was going to the Yun family today, the eldest sister postponed the day of returning to her parents' home by one day.

"Then I'll go and pay New Year's greetings to uncle and aunt first."

Not to mention Dad Yun and his brother-in-law Yun Chengpeng. After completing the formalities and paying New Year greetings, someone else happened to come over to pay Dad Yun New Year greetings. Yun Chengpeng took Han Li and sat at the wine table.

Not long after we sat down here, the acting father and the eldest brother of the acting family came over to accompany us for drinks.

"That's good."

"Brother, do you have any news about your return to the city?"

Han Li asked back, and Yun Chengpeng picked up the wine and drank a glass before saying helplessly.

"My situation is a little more complicated, but the situation is similar to yours. I had to hang out at the Red Star Machinery Factory to successfully go to the Youth Farm in Pinggu.

All my household registration procedures have been left over there. If I want to go back to the city now, I can only go to work in a machinery factory. To be honest, I have been squeezed out by those bastards in the past two years. Even if there is a ten thousandth chance, I don’t want to go. I work in this factory.

Anyway, now that my parents are back, there is usually no one to wear small shoes for me, and the youth farm now implements a fixed work point system, and no one cares whether I work more or less, so I still want to wait and see. "

Han Li didn't understand anything after hearing this, but his brother-in-law didn't want to talk about it and he didn't bother to ask. At this time, Yun Yingying was just putting dishes on the table, so he took the opportunity to change the topic.

"Brother, when do you plan to get married?"

"what happened?"

"It's like this. The wedding that Yingying and I had in Shanghe Village was indeed a bit hasty. Parents, relatives and friends of both parties were not present, so I planned to gather my relatives and friends to have a lively wedding after I was old enough to get the wedding certificate.

You are Yingying's eldest brother. If you don't get the marriage certificate, it would be inappropriate for us to go in front. If this happens, outsiders will complain that our family has no rules. "

Yun Chengpeng was stunned for a long time by Han Li's words. Before, he had a few girls who were relatively close to him, but after something happened at home, there was no follow-up. There were still two girls who were avoiding him. .

In the past two years, he has been staying at the Youth Farm in Pinggu. Ninety-nine percent of the people there are internal children of the machinery factory. Not to mention that there are not many women who have not caught his eye. Even if there are, they will not be attracted to them. He is a person who is ostracized by everyone.

Han Li's words filled Yun Yingying's face with a tender smile. Even Yun's mother, who had just walked to the door, nodded secretly, feeling awkward about what happened between Han Li and his two daughters. A little less.

However, Han Li's words made his brother-in-law Yun Chengpeng pour him wine. However, these were trivial to Han Li, who had a golden finger. If he didn't want to drink too much, the wine was nothing more than a few drinks. Pot water is not intoxicating except that it tastes bad.

When Han Li was being drunk by his brother-in-law at Yun's house, Li Xiaoyuan walked into Mianmian Hutong and started asking about Han Chunying's family.

Han Xiaomei was also surprised by the arrival of classmate Li Xiaoyuan. You must know that when she was in school, their home was a forbidden area for the female classmates in the school. Her brother would ask her to drive away whoever came, so she did not ask angrily at the moment. road

"Li Xiaoyuan, are you back? But how did you find our home? Is there something wrong?"

"Chunying, I haven't seen you for several years. My grandma's house is just west of Huguo Temple. It's boring to come here today to pay New Year's greetings and stay there with a group of elders and children. I remembered that your house is nearby, so I came to see my grandma. Classmates reminiscing about old times." Xiaomei Han glanced at Li Xiaoyuan with some confusion, but at this time she was too embarrassed to let anyone in.

"Then please come in quickly. Let's talk inside in this cold weather."

Han Xiaomei led Li Xiaoyuan into the house and introduced them to He Mi and Qi Zhaodi.

However, He Mi was not familiar with this person, so he just said hello and left them room to perform, while he and Qi Zhaodi just listened.

In the following chat, they mentioned each other's current situation. When Li Xiaoyuan learned that Han Xiaomei was now an employee of the Railway Bureau, and she still worked in an office, she couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"Oh my God, Chunying, you actually went to work in the railway bureau office. This really shocked me. This is even more shocking than when I heard the news that your brother went to the countryside to jump in the queue for you.

And your family didn't let you give up such a good job to your brother. This kind of thing rarely happens in the entire 49 cities. Your family is really good to you, so good that I almost die with envy. "

After hearing this, Xiaomei Han smiled, but then she immediately corrected Li Xiaoyuan's statement.

"My family has always been very good to me, and my brother is even better to me because he helped me get my job at the Railway Bureau."

"What? Han Li helped you get the job at the Railway Bureau? But wasn't he already gone to the countryside when you were working?"

Han Xiaomei did not answer Li Xiaoyuan's question, but directly brought the topic to her.

When it was almost lunchtime, Little Sister Han showed no intention of keeping her to eat. Li Xiaoyuan reluctantly left Han Li's house. When she came, she didn't expect that Han Li was going to his mother-in-law's house today. She thought it would be better if she came tomorrow. However, today's visit to Han Li's house seemed to have made some of her thoughts firmer.

Han Xiaomei stood at the street door and watched Li Xiaoyuan's back walking away before turning to go home. He Mi asked as soon as she entered the house.

"Third sister, this person named Li Xiaoyuan is your and Han Li's classmate?"

(For the sake of distinction, Han Xiaomei is called Sanmei, and Qi Zhaodi is called Qi Xiaomei and Xiaomei.)

"Sister He, Li Xiaoyuan was our classmate when we were in school."

"Why do I think this person named Li Xiaoyuan doesn't just come to you to reminisce about old times?"

"This is all because my brother is too charming. There were many girls around him when he was in school. Finally, my brother became impatient. Not only did his tone of voice become tough when he spoke, but he also asked me to help him deal with and drive away these people. .

At that time, no matter what excuse I found, I would drive away anyone who came near my house. Now that I have entered society and it is not good to do that, I had no choice but to take her into the house to sit for a while, but now she knows about my brother’s marriage. I guess she won't come again in the future. "

After hearing this, He Mi could only feel happy, thinking that if she had met Han Li when she was in school, she would probably have hit a wall. Qi Zhaodi said with a surprised look on her face.

"I didn't expect Brother Han to be so popular back then."

"Little sister, if you think about it carefully, you will understand. Even if some people do nothing, they are still the most dazzling ones in the crowd. When you stand with them, you will feel comfortable and at ease. There is a feeling that the sky is falling. There is no need to worry, just think about whether you were like this when you were with Han Li."

After He Mi said this, Qi Zhaodi nodded immediately. It was the first time that Han Xiaomei heard someone commenting on her brother like this. She poured He Mi a glass of water and sat aside to listen to the rest. He Mi took the water glass and continued.

"When Han Li was in Shanghe Village, even though he rarely took the initiative to talk to female educated youths, the most people went to his house. Needless to say about the others, Zhang Shulan, who disliked going out the most, rarely visited her when she came out. When not going to Han Li's side.

Last year, no, it was Liu Liyan and Ma Runping who came the year before, who looked like they wished they could grow up to live in Han Li's house. It's just that Han Li liked purity and never gave these people a chance.

There are also newcomers An Xin and Li Yingzi. After they arrived in Shanghe Village, they never had a chance to contact Han Li, let alone deal with him. Otherwise, I think they would be no exception. "

After He Mi said these words, she stopped talking. She put her hand in her pocket to hold the jade pendant that Han Li had just given her. Han Xiaomei and Qi Zhaodi were nearby and chatting about things around Han Li.
-

Han Li came back after dinner at Yun's house. When he came back, the street lights were already on.

Brother-in-law Yun Chengpeng had been drunk by Han Li for a long time, and he was still awake when he left.

Yun Yingying sat on the back seat of Han Li's bicycle, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her head against his back.

Dingsi year, Renyin month, Wushen day, the third day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the twentieth day of the second month of the Gregorian calendar.

Today is the time for Sister Han and her family to return to her parents' home. Except for Sister Han, who cannot take a full day off at the supply and marketing cooperative, everyone else has taken leave and stayed at home.

Yun Jingjing went to her work to ask for leave for herself and her sister, and then rode her bicycle to Han Li's house.

When Yun Jingjing arrived, Han Li was holding teacups and playing with the crows with his father in the yard, while the others were preparing the dishes for the relatives today. After saying hello and washing her hands, she joined the team. While working, I asked Mother Han for her opinion.

"Mom, how much lucky money should we give Zhuangzhuang today?"

As soon as Yun Yingying finished asking, He Mi immediately remembered that she was Zhuang Zhuang's aunt, and she also had to give out the lucky money today, so she asked.

"Godmother, none of us have ever experienced this kind of thing, and we don't know the rules here. I need you to give an approximate number."

"It's all up to my family's wishes. It doesn't matter how much the New Year's money is."

At this time, Xiaomei Han took over the topic and said: "There is really no way to give a specific figure for this New Year's money. Most of the other people's money is 10 cents or 20 cents, some only give 5 cents, and many others give 50 cents." , so let’s just wait and see if we can give it.”

A few people murmured for a while, thinking that the new year's money given to Zhuang Zhuang could only be more than other people's money, but not less than other people's money, otherwise it would not look good, so they planned to give Zhuang one yuan of new year's money later.

But as soon as their proposal came out, Mother Han pushed back. Although she didn't say anything else, she looked at the Yun sisters with a look that didn't know how to live. After Mother Han's interference, everyone finally adopted the highest standards now. Fifty cents.

The eldest sister and brother-in-law arrived with their children around ten o'clock. Han Li, who was drinking tea with his father in the courtyard, had just said hello and stood up before he could greet them.

Yun Jingjing and others walked out of the kitchen. After they said hello, the tightly wrapped little guy in the eldest sister's hands was taken away by them. Then they heard teasing from the north room. The hearty laughter of a child.

When Han Li's house was busy, Mr. Liu, Mr. Guan and a few other people of similar age gathered together. They all looked tired, and they were not as concerned about the chess game on the chessboard as usual. They held their teacups deeply. Sitting deeply on the sofa, one of the old men said helplessly.

"What's so great about the Chinese New Year? I'm almost exhausted these days."

"Isn't it? The most important thing is that it's annoying. All the people coming and going gives me a headache."

"Lao Liu and Lao Guan are about the same age, but why are you two so energetic?"
