Rekindle 2012

Chapter 194 Cousins

Not long after the fireworks ended.

Sisters Feng Shuangshuang and Feng Chengcheng received a call from their family, saying they were going back. Tang Hong handed each of them a red envelope prepared in advance.

The money in the red envelope is not much, only [-] per person. It is not a door-to-door red envelope. After all, even if the two of them get married, they will have to wait a long time. It is just used as lucky money from the older generation to the younger generation.

If the two refused to accept it, Tang Hong gave the red envelope to Li Chenyang and asked him to give it to them when he sent them back...

Wait for Li Chenyang to come back.

Tang Hong and Li Guomin were sitting on the sofa together watching the Spring Festival Gala.

There are still more people watching the Spring Festival Gala now. Unlike in the future, although the TV is on, it is more like treating the Spring Festival Gala as a background board and background music for playing cards and chatting.

There are a few surprising hosts among this year’s hosts.

For example, Grandpa Bi, who has not been heard from for a long time, is still in high spirits and is standing as the host of the Spring Festival Gala.Li Chenyang really likes Avenue of Stars, which he hosts, and basically watches every episode.

And Zhu Jun.

This upright man has not yet been maliciously spread rumors and is still at the peak of his career.

There is also the curly-haired Li Yong, who still has the kind of appearance that makes it difficult to tell whether he is a Chinese or a foreigner. He is here alive and well, in good health, and the years are peaceful...

Look at it this way.

Li Chenyang suddenly discovered that this year's male hosts seemed to be a little unlucky. It seemed that except for Xiao Sa, few of them could escape unscathed.

Is it because I didn’t sing “Unforgettable Tonight” in this year’s Spring Festival Gala?

After so many years of Spring Festival Gala, the only thing that happened in 12 was an accident. At the end, the song Li Guyi’s Unforgettable Tonight was missing and replaced with other songs.

Of course, this reason is too far-fetched and cannot even be considered metaphysics.

All we can say is that these hosts are all unlucky.

In just a few years, great changes have taken place. You should cherish it if you can still see Grandpa Bi on TV. Li Chenyang moved a small stool and sat next to the brazier, watching the program on TV...

"Sent them back?"

Tang Hong turned around and asked.

"Well, it's been delivered to your home."

Li Chenyang nodded.

"Have you collected the red envelope?"

"Take it. I said I would go to her house to pay New Year's greetings in a few days and her parents would return it, so they accepted it."

When Li Guomin heard this, he sighed: "Chenyang, I think Shuangshuang is a good girl. We think this daughter-in-law is good. Don't worry about her when you have some money."

"No, no..." Li Chenyang shook his head.

Tang Hong's phone rang.

It was a neighbor who called him to go over and play mahjong. After thinking about it, she decided not to go. She was going to open a shop after the Chinese New Year, so it was best to give up the habit of playing mahjong.

The family ate melon seeds together and watched the Spring Festival Gala.

In a blink of an eye, it was already early morning.

When the clock was about to ring, Li Chenyang and Li Guomin went to the door to light a bunch of firecrackers, welcoming the new year with the crackling sound.

The first day of the first lunar month is also the real New Year.

"A red envelope for you."

Tang Hong also handed a thick red envelope to Li Chenyang.

Li Chenyang roughly touched it and found that it was almost as thick as Feng Shuangshuang's red envelope. He asked, "I still have it." "Of course I do. As long as you are not married, you will always have red envelopes."

"Then I'm welcome."

Li Chenyang collected the red envelope. His family was not that short of money. It was his parents' wish, so of course he couldn't refuse.

Li Guomin turned on all the lights at home, and then said to Li Chenyang: "Go to bed early. Let's go to New Year's greetings when we get up early."

……

"Sanniang, Happy New Year."

"Second uncle, happy new year, may you get rich."

"Happy New Year."

……

Early the next morning, Li Chenyang followed Li Guomin and went door to door to pay New Year greetings. This was their tradition.

Not only Li Guomin, but also Li Chenyang's uncle Li Guozhong, his second uncle Li Guoyi, his third uncle Li Guofu, and his fourth uncle Li Guoqiang.

It can be seen from their names that dad's birth seems to be an accident, which does not match their loyalty, wealth and strength at all.

This is the fact. Although my father is the youngest in the family, he is not taken seriously at all. When the family was separated, except for a mud house to stay in, he was not even given a bowl. If it weren't for my mother, Tang Red and spicy, I quarreled with my uncle and couldn't even get half the bag of grain.

Grandpa Li Chenyang passed away very early, and grandma passed away almost three years ago. The brothers rarely get together except during the Chinese New Year.

The eldest uncle, Li Guozhong, drives a forklift and looks for work at home. He occasionally meets him once or twice on the street. The second uncle and the third uncle all work outside and usually only come back during the Chinese New Year. They have no skills and can only work in factories. Since you spend less, you can save some money every year.

The fourth uncle, Li Guoqiang, inherited the old man's hair-shaving skills and opened a barber shop in the town. However, his skills were not good and business was not very good, so he could only make ends meet.

Among the four brothers and one sister, Li Guomin, who was originally the worst off, turned out to be the best. He was the first to build a building and now earns the most every year.

Next is Li Chenyang’s uncle Li Guozhong. Driving a forklift is at least a skill. When he is busy, he can make a lot of money a year. Li Chunlan and his wife are also pretty good. The whole family is making money. In terms of money earned by the whole family, There were more than Li Chenyang’s previous family.

On the junior side, there are several cousins ​​of Li Chenyang, one cousin, Li Ping'an, the eldest cousin, is over thirty this year and will probably get married this year.

Because the age gap is too big, the relationship between several cousins ​​is only average, far less than the relationship between Li Chenyang's cousins.

Come down in a circle.

Cousin Li Ping'an's pockets were already full of cigarettes, and there were two cigarettes in his ears. He lit a Great China, took a nice puff, and looked at Li Chenyang with some regret, who had always refused to be handed cigarettes by others, and said .

"Chen Yang, take it if you don't want to suck it, and give it to me later."

Li Chenyang was too lazy to pay attention to him, but he just felt that the inheritance between father and son was too strong. The uncle was a picky person, and the son he raised was the same. No wonder they kept going on a blind date until they were over 30 years old.

"Da Shan, what's wrong with your hand?"

Li Chenyang saw that his other cousin's fingers were bandaged.

Dashan's name is Li Shan, and he is the son of Li Chenyang's third uncle. His third uncle, Li Guofu, was a bit unlucky. He got married very late, gave birth to his only son, and had some brain problems due to injections.

Li Shan had a brain problem due to high fever and injections when he was a child. He seemed a little not very smart, but among several cousins, Li Chenyang had the best relationship.

Although he is a bit stupid, Li Shan is honest and has no scheming. He is also the only one who did not come to fight against the autumn wind after Li Chenyang made a fortune in his previous life.

As long as he was with him, Li Shan basically took care of all the hard work and tiring work.

Other cousins ​​sometimes laugh at him for being a fool, but Li Chenyang thinks that fools are much better than some normal people.

Li Shan, who was following the crowd, smiled when he heard Li Chenyang's words and said, "Brother, it's nothing serious. I was hit by a machine in the factory."

Li Chenyang thought for a while and seemed to remember an incident where Li Shan accidentally crushed his finger while working in a factory. Later, the factory compensated him some money and let him go.
