At eight o'clock in the morning, the four Zhao Changan brothers took the money in the red envelopes and started shopping.

Zhao Changan carried a box of Jiannanchun, and first went to Zhouji Mutton Soup House to drink a large bowl of mutton soup, eat sesame seed cakes filled with mutton, and a plate of refreshing vinegar and garlic.

"You kid, your uncle will be happy when you come to eat, and you will also give him gifts!"

Lao Zhou forcefully gave each of the four Zhao Changan a big red envelope. When he walked away, he opened it and saw that they were all brand new two hundred yuan.

Then, the four of them went to the market to buy fireworks and various snacks and gadgets.

At noon, Zhao Changan and others celebrated the New Year at Zhong Lianwei's house. Wen Ye was the chef, Liu Yihui was helping, and Zhong Yuanqiang was watching and giving directions with his mouth.

After the meal, Zhong Yuanqiang each received a red envelope, a brand new one hundred yuan.

Celebrate the New Year at Zhao Changan’s house in the evening. After dinner, we set off fireworks, flying monkeys, fairy sticks, bumblebees, electric flowers,——

That's called having fun.

After setting off the fireworks, Zhao Changan watched the party at home, while Wen Ye and the other three watched the party at Zhong Yuanqiang's house.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Changan felt bored and went to bed.

In a daze, gunshots were heard outside the window, and red light reflected continuously on the bricks of Zeng Xiaoxiao's sealed window.

98 has passed and 99 is coming.

"Ling ring ring~"

Zhao Changan took a look at his cell phone and saw that it was Zeng Xiaoxiao's number.

"Zhao Changan, Happy New Year!"

Liu Cui yelled on the phone.

"Brother Chang'an, Happy New Year!"

Then there is Zeng Xiaoxiao.

Zhao Changan said a few words to them, put down his phone, and fell asleep.

——

At seven o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhao Changan was forced to wake up again by his mother Zhang Lishan and go downstairs to set off cannons.

After washing up, Zhao Changan opened the door and went downstairs with firecrackers.

He saw the New Year pictures on the door opposite the door, which were the old New Year pictures from last year.

According to my mother, there has been no news since Zeng Chunming resigned; and Qiu Jinhui has never come back and seems to have been living in Peach Blossom Villa.

Zhao Changan had a hunch that Zeng Chunming might never appear again.

I couldn't help but shiver all over, feeling that it was freezing cold inside the stairway.

"Tomorrow I will buy a magic mirror and hang it at the door. This house will look spooky."

Zhao Changan muttered and pulled off a few small cannons from the firecrackers.

"Crack!"

The explosion made the stairway roar, and red confetti fluttered on the stairway.

"Crack!"

Another one.

"Crack!"

Zhao Changan fired three cannons in succession, which caused bad luck.

"Crack, crackle, crackle~"

Then, I ran downstairs to set off firecrackers, went back to the house and ate a bowl of dumplings, and was kicked out of the house by my mother, Zhang Lishan, to pay New Year greetings.

First, it’s Zhong Yuanqiang’s family.

After knocking on the door for a long time, Zhong Yuanqiang got up sleepily and opened the door.

Let Zhao Changan sigh, an old bachelor without a woman to control him is free!

"Uncle Zhong, I wish you a happy new year!"

Zhao Changan roared like a thunderbolt, waking up Wen Ye and the other three, and asked them to go down and get dumplings up and down.

I went to pay Qian Miao New Year greetings.

I received a red envelope containing three hundred yuan.

Zhao Changan went downstairs and told his mother that Qian Mingjian would definitely come to pay New Year's greetings soon, but he should not be embarrassed.

Then Zhao Changan went to Xia Changhai's house.

Xia Changhai originally went to Jiang Jie's parents' house on the first day of every year, but when he saw Zhao Changan, who hadn't paid him a New Year's greeting in three years, came to pay him New Year's greetings, he was so happy that Jiang Jie's parents didn't go there either, and refused to let Zhao Changan go.

Zhang Luo asked Jiang Jie to stew the meat quickly.

"Mo Mo, wake up, your brother Chang'an is here, sleeping like a pig!"

Jiang Jie opened the door of Xia Momo's boudoir and roughly lifted off Xia Momo's thick quilt.

Zhao Changan was standing waiting for Xia Changhai to pour him tea when he saw Xia Momo sleeping on her side on the bed wearing a close-fitting flesh-colored thin autumn coat and long trousers. She had long arms, long legs, a slim waist, and a very good figure.

"Grow up!"

Zhao Changan didn't dare to look anymore, and quickly turned his body at an angle.

"Mom, you won't let me sleep on New Year's Day?"

On the bed, Xia Momo went to pull the quilt back, but she couldn't pull her mother Jiang Jie away.

"Hurry up and go give your Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zhong, Aunt Qian, and Uncle Fang a New Year's greetings!"

"Ah? Mom, close the door, hurry up!"

There was an exclamation from the end of summer inside, and I guess the drowsiness was gone.

"What are you afraid of when you are wearing clothes? Besides, your brother Chang'an is not an outsider. You two often slept in the same bed when you were young -"

"mom!"

I was really angry at the end of summer.

"Thank you, Uncle Xia."

Zhao Changan quickly took the tea handed to him by Xia Changhai, feeling like he had no space to rest his eyes.

——

At noon, Zhao Changan was at Xia Changhai's house, and the father and son shared a bottle of Langjiu.

The happy Xia Changhai finished one bottle and wanted to open another bottle. Zhao Changan refused to let Xia Changhai open the second bottle no matter what, in order to avoid getting a few blows from late summer.

When Zhao Changan walked out of the unit building drunkenly, the sky had already turned overcast, and his face felt cool, as snowflakes were falling.

He was shocked, this was not what he wanted to see!

The light snow stopped when it was almost dark, and it just added a thin layer of 'white paint' to the color that had been controlled by the sun these days.

In the next few days, Zhao Changan had to accompany his parents to wine bars in depression, receiving countless praises and blank looks from countless students.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Zhao Changan went to Chu Yueliang's house for dinner.

In fact, he didn't really want to go, but Chu Yueliang made several phone calls to force him, so Zhao Changan had no choice but to go.

That morning, as soon as Zhao Changan arrived at the small courtyard of the bungalow where Chu Yueliang lived, he screamed for mercy when he saw the crowd of people inside. He was probably going to collapse today.

"This is uncle Yourong."

"Hello, uncle."

"This is Aunt Rong."

"Hello, aunt."

"This is Yourong Sanba."

"Hello, uncle."

"This is Aunt Yourong."

Looking at this young and beautiful face, Zhao Changan did not dare to call "Auntie", so he could only shout: "Hello, Auntie."

"This is my uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

A group of people gathered around Zhao Changan and waited for the introduction. Zhao Changan was so dizzy with the shouting that he lost half of his combat effectiveness before he even started drinking.

Chu Yueliang is the director of the third grade of Pengzhou Junior High School. His wife is the deputy mayor of the county town and he has many relatives. Chu Yueliang said that the main thing is to wait for him, otherwise he will have a party on the first day of the new year.

Zhao Changan was frightened when he heard this.

I was drunk straight away at noon.
