New Year's Eve is here, and for Chinese people, this is the real day to bid farewell to the old year.
On this day, people post couplets, hang lanterns, cook New Year's dinner, set off firecrackers, and worship gods. There are lights and colorful decorations everywhere, permeating the festive atmosphere.
New Year's Eve is joy; New Year's Eve is happiness; New Year's Eve is reunion. Children are generally happiest at night, because at this time they can wear the most beautiful new clothes, receive a lot of New Year's money, and also
Beautiful fireworks can be set off.
Li Yanping is very happy now. This is the last year for her to collect New Year's money. She will start working next year. Even if she is an adult, there will be no such good things.
However, she received a lot this year. Her grandparents, parents, and mom each gave her 500 yuan. She suddenly became a little rich woman. In 1996, the average monthly salary per capita in urban areas was only about 500 yuan.
After having dinner early, Li Ruiqin and Li Aiguo wandered off to play cards somewhere. Li Jianren was really bored and no one was looking for him. He was too lazy to visit, so he could only find a book by himself and watch TV.
Books pass the time.
Early the next morning, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Jianren, who was still sleeping soundly in bed, was lifted off the quilt by Li Yanping and pulled up. Aren reluctantly climbed out of bed, half-opened his hazy eyes, and asked his elders
We said New Year's greetings, then went to wash up, and then went to have breakfast.
There is an endless stream of people paying New Year's greetings this morning. Whether they are neighbors, people who have received favors from their families in the past two years, or even people who send money to other families, they always come to pay New Year's greetings and say a few auspicious words.
Of course, Li Jianren also seemed generous in this regard, not saying anything about the meeting. No matter who came over, the adult men would stuff a pack of Yuxi cigarettes, and the children and women would share a pack of chocolates.
Li Aiguo would always ask Li Aiguo to give more New Year's money to families who had regular contacts with each other, especially those families in need, who would secretly give more.
Let others have a comfortable New Year, and he will also be happy when others are happy. Spending a few thousand more yuan will make everyone feel comfortable, so why not do it. For him who is now worth hundreds of millions, this is nothing.
?
Even Li Xiaoming, who had just been beaten the day before yesterday, came over to his house to pay New Year greetings with a smile, which made Li Jianren quite emotional.
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man and said, "Brother Xiao Ming, I'm sorry for the day before yesterday. My driver was retired from the special forces, so it's not a big deal. Don't mind." After saying that, he took out two packs of soft Chinese from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Xiaoming.
pocket.
Li Xiaoming was flattered. He heard that when others came to pay New Year greetings, they would give at most a packet of Yuxi. He came today to use the New Year atmosphere to resolve grudges, but his arms could not hold his thighs. He did not dare to offend the rich and powerful people now.
I was also frightened by Li Jianren that day.
As a result, he came here specifically to accompany him today. Before he could say anything, Li Jianren said sorry to him and gave him two packs of good cigarettes. How long had he ever smoked such good cigarettes?
Of course Li Xiaoming knew that they were not afraid of him, but they didn't want to argue with him, and at the same time, they also wanted to make him aware of the current affairs. He understood and hurriedly followed him to accompany him, one after another. A dispute happened in a harmonious atmosphere between the two parties.
Dissolved into the invisible.
The first day of the new year passed in this atmosphere of greeting each other. Everyone seemed to be very happy and happy. Maybe they just suppressed the sorrow that they should have in their hearts.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Aiguo and his wife took Li Yanping and Li Jianren to visit relatives. The family of four had big and small bags and a lot of things, which was very inconvenient. However, since it was the New Year, Li Jianren didn't want to trouble the driver, so he had to do this first.
"Dad, when can you get your driver's license? You have been studying for almost two months. Look at how inconvenient it is to have so many things. If you had a driver's license, it would be much easier for us to drive there." Li Jianren complained to Li Aiguo.
Li Aiguo chuckled and said, "It's coming soon. It'll be fine after the new year. I won't have to worry about it next year."
"Sister, after you graduate this year, you should also take the driver's license test. Get your driver's license first. When you need it in the future, I will give you a car." Li Jianren said to Li Yanping.
"Really? This is what you said. I will learn it in the second half of the year. Don't deny it then." Li Yanping beamed with joy.
"Don't worry, I promised you when I haven't done it before, but I won't give it to you right away. I will give it to you in the future. You won't need it now. When you get your driver's license, you can get familiar with the company's car when you have nothing to do.
, otherwise you will be a female killer in the future." Li Jianren joked.
He still planned to let Li Yanping get familiar with driving before giving it to her now. Firstly, it would not be needed at the moment, and secondly, she would always have lingering fears about women driving.
In one day, Li Jianren finally visited a few important relatives as if on a whim. He had no time for the rest, so he could only let the three of them go by themselves, and accompany him by the way. He also had
A lot to deal with.
On the early morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, the driver Lao Chen picked up Li Jianren and began a store tour. It was said to be a store tour, but it was actually just symbolic. More importantly, it was to send condolences to colleagues who worked overtime during the New Year.
The red envelope has been prepared a long time ago, but Li Jianren needs to send it out personally, which will make him more sincere.
Dozens of stores, one after another, even if it was just a quick glance, it took two full days to complete this matter.
Next year, even if I kill him, he won't do this. I don't know how many stores will be added by then. He will definitely not be able to run it alone. Let's let a few senior executives work together.
On the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month, after finishing some accumulated business affairs at the company, he rode to Liu Wanting's house by himself, carrying two bottles of Maotai.
Li Jianren was considered an acquaintance, so the guard called him and let him go.
When she reached the door, Liu Wanting had already opened the door and came out to greet her.
Wearing a pink long down jacket, black boots, and long shawl hair, Liu Wanting is always so charming.
"Sister Wanting, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have become beautiful again. Whoever marries you in the future will laugh out loud in your dreams." Li Jianren joked.
With a "pop" sound, he lightly slapped Li Jianren on the head, "Little brat, you have become more capable now, you dare to make fun of your sister."
"How dare you, I'm not telling the truth." Li Jianren sneered.
At this time, Wan Qiaoyun also walked out, and when he saw Li Jianren, he said hello, "Aren, happy New Year, come in quickly, we'll have dinner here tonight."
Li Jianren quickly stepped forward to wish Wan Qiaoyun New Year greetings, and the three of them walked into the house.
At this time, Liu Weiming also came out of the study. When Li Jianren saw him, he said, "Uncle Liu, I wish you a happy new year and good health, and bring me the red envelope."
"Haha, your kid came to me to ask for a red envelope. Qiaoyun, give this kid a red envelope quickly. It's Chinese New Year and he's here to collect debts." Liu Weiming was very happy to see Li Jianren and hurriedly ordered his wife to give him a red envelope.
.
Li Jianren accepted it without politeness. He regarded the couple as elders, and of course he had to take the red envelope given by the elders.
Liu Weiming looked at the two bottles of good wine Li Jianren was carrying and pointed at him, "Take my red envelope and drink these two bottles tonight."
Liu Weiming did not refuse, but asked Aren to drink two drinks with him, which showed that he indeed regarded Aren as a family member and did not see him outside. This made Li Jianren very happy.
The meal was very relaxing, and Li Jianren tried his best to flatter Wan Qiaoyun. Wan Qiaoyun almost recognized him as his godson on the spot, and Liu Wanting was jealous beside her.
Before leaving, Liu Weiming specially gave him a bag of good tea, which made Li Jianren feel embarrassed. He ate and took it. Well, he will definitely come back next time.
On the morning of the sixth day of the lunar month, Liu Jianren came to Yiyang to visit Ding Wenhao. This time he didn't bring any wine or anything, but he still prepared many gifts for Xiao Ningning.
As soon as little Ningning saw her big brother coming, she knew that her delicious and fun food was coming again. She immediately went out happily to greet him.
"Brother A-Ren, what did you bring to me?" The little girl was very rude.
"Haha, little greedy cat, there are many, come and choose for yourself." Li Jianren laughed.
Yang Xiaoru patted Ning Ning's face and greeted A Ren to come home.
Ding Wenhao also greeted him politely in the living room, which made A-Ren feel embarrassed. However, the old lady stayed out and asked her to sit down quickly, and then brought out a bunch of things for A-Ren to taste.
