Chapter 27 New Year's Eve Dinner

The time and space gate showed that it could be opened again, so Yang Yi returned to 2023 without saying a word.

The old rule is to take a bath in one go!

Hiss, finally alive again.

I didn’t plan to sell any goods when I came back this time.There are already several million more around me, which is enough.People still can't be too greedy.

As for taking something back, Yang Yi had a little idea.

pearl!

In the time and space of 1952 (although it was already 1953 there, for the sake of unified naming, from now on it will be collectively referred to as 1952 in modern times), there was no technology for artificially cultivating pearls.And due to the love of those dignitaries in the past, the price of pearls remains high.

Yang Yi has investigated.In a trust store, a pearl necklace that Yang Yi thought would only be worth 3 or 4000 yuan in future generations could be sold for a high price of 500 yuan in a trust store.

Yang Yi decided to get 5 and go back to test the water.Don't get too many. After all, the cultured pearls nowadays are all plump and round. They were already considered high-quality in the 50s. Selling too many pearls at once will cause trouble.

Just do it.

I spent less than RMB 2 to order 5 pearl necklaces of similar quality online. It was specially marked that only cotton ropes were accepted for stringing (synthetic fibers had not yet come out at that time), otherwise they would be rejected.Then I ordered some candies, peanuts and melon seeds for the New Year, and then replenished my daily necessities.Live together!
The gift I prepared for you this time is a series of information about the petrochemical industry.Yang Yi didn't understand this either, so he prepared to win by quantity. There are more than 2000 pages of paper, enough for them to study slowly.

A few days later, when the supplies were in place, Yang Yi dived into the space-time gate.

I don’t know which department of petrochemical industry is the counterpart.So in the end, the decision was made to put it on the desk of the second uncle’s immediate boss.

New Year's Eve.

Yang Yi's family of three came to the uncle's house.This is their tradition.The two married daughters of the second uncle's family are celebrating the New Year at their husband's house, and the little daughter seems deserted around them.Therefore, the New Year's Eve dinner of the three families has been celebrated with the uncle in the past two years.

The men in the family first entered the mourning hall dedicated to Grandpa Yang Yi, and then, under the leadership of the uncle, the four men in the family knelt down and kowtowed together.

The uncle talked a lot to his father, and at least half of it was about Yang Yi. Finally,
"Dad, how wonderful it would be if you could see the beautiful life of the big guys now!" As he said this, he started to cry incessantly.

Dad winked at Yang Yi, and Yang Yi quickly helped his uncle up.

"Uncle, grandpa will laugh in heaven when he sees our life today." Then he also helped the second uncle up.

"Yes, everyone must do well. Xiaoyi, you have performed very well this year. You are worthy of being a member of our old Yang family!"

"Xiao Yi, you can have more children in the future. Our family depends on you to flourish!" The second uncle joked half-seriously.

"Second uncle, I'm still young..."

The whole family gathered around the table and started eating after the uncle opened his mouth.

"Xiaoyi, I haven't seen you grow so tall in more than half a year. I heard from my dad that you won the title of National Outstanding Middle School Student and wrote two novels and published them?" asked the little cousin.

"Calm down, calm down, sister. Gold will always shine. Your brother is that piece of gold." In front of his family, Yang Yi doesn't mind playing the role of a little living treasure.

"If you say you're fat, you're still panting."

"Then bring one to me." The second uncle spoke.

"You all just pamper Xiaoyi. Men and women must be equal!"

"Every month the student allowance is not enough, and at the end of the month there will be a famine and you have to ask your family for help. When you can support yourself, come and talk to me about equality." The second uncle said quietly.

It seems that the little cousin is also a little bourgeois!Even the college student subsidy, which is enough to support a family of three, is not enough for her to spend.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s time to give out red envelopes.

The second uncle gave me a red envelope of ten yuan.This is considered a huge red envelope among the people, and it is normal for their family.Yang Yi's parents also prepared a red envelope for their little cousin, but their second uncle sternly rejected it.

"She is an adult and has her own monthly allowance. There is no reason to get any more red envelopes!"

There was nothing we could do, and only the little cousin was left complaining.

The uncle took out a thick red envelope.Yang Yi took it and touched it and felt that it must be at least 200.He turned to his father to ask for his opinion.

"Brother, why did you give so much to Xiaoyi? You can't take this!"

"What's the matter! Why don't you give me more for my only nephew! Why don't your sister-in-law and I close our eyes and leave it to him? Can't I just try to make him happy in advance?" Dad didn't care about the uncle either. What a good idea, I can only nod and tell Yang Yi to accept it.

"Uncle, you should save more. I will give birth to a bunch of children in the future and kowtow to you during the New Year to ask for your New Year blessings." I know that my uncle likes to hear this.

"Giving birth. I'll prepare for any number of births you have!"

"Second uncle, we've prepared some for you too."

Then the whole family laughed.

Dad had to go back to work at night for duty, so he stayed for a while and then said goodbye to his uncle.

The mother and son were sent home first. The family set off a bunch of firecrackers at the gate in advance, and then drove the small jeep to the work.

"Dad, happy new year!"

The father also stretched out his hand and waved to the mother and son behind him.

......

Mom actually didn’t confiscate Yang Yi’s red envelope.

congratulations!

At this time, Yang Yi handed the sheet music of "We Walk on the Road" to her mother.

"Mom, this is my New Year's gift for you."

After taking it, my mother looked at it and was very happy.

"Hey! This is not a new song. You have sung it to others!"

Wang Yanni, you traitor!
"Mom, just tell me whether you want it or not." Yang Yi decided to play a little rogue.

"Yes, why don't you want what your son gave you? Xiaoyi, it seems that you are in a period of explosive creative inspiration recently. You must seize this period as much as possible and create more good things. Otherwise, you There will be regrets in the future.”

Mom helped Yang Yi find this reason...it's so perfect!
"Mom, I will."

"Xiaoyi, if you don't like other girls, don't flirt with them. They all know their roots, and they won't look good in the future. But you are also serious. I have seen this child Yanni. She is good-looking and well-educated. Okay, why can’t I get into your eyes?”

"Mom, let me be honest with you. Wang Yanni is really excellent. To say that I am not attracted to her at all would be nonsense. But her character is really too strong, and I can't accept it."

Mom obviously likes this kind of atmosphere of confiding in her son.

"Xiao Yi, who do you think is stronger in our family, me or your father?"

"you!"

"Actually, you and your dad are both a bit lazy. There is nothing wrong with your wife being stronger in the future. As long as she has you in her heart, isn't it a blessing to be controlled by your wife?"

It’s true when you think about it!Dad obviously likes the feeling of being controlled by mom like this.And my mother also likes this feeling of being needed, so the two of them can really be regarded as a model couple in Yang Yi's eyes.

"Mom, I'm still young..."

"Look, it's here again. I poked you in the middle and you don't want to accept it? Well, you have to walk your own path. The most mom can give you is advice from someone who has experienced it."

"I understand, Mom, thank you!"

"Okay, say thank you to mom. I know it feels good to be chased by a beautiful girl. Promise mom, don't hurt others."

"Okay. I'll definitely do it."

"Okay, I'm all sleepy. Don't stay up late and go to sleep."

"Good night, Mom. Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"
