Chapter 408 Welcoming the Millennium
"Don't run, you little bastard! I told you not to set off fireworks here, yet you still dare to come here.
Don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a hat?
If you see me doing this again, I will smash all the windows in your house!"
Qin Sheng chased a kid from upstairs to downstairs, and was exhausted and out of breath.
"Lilululu, you can't hit me."
The boy jumped back, made a face at him, turned a corner and ran away.
Qin Sheng was left cursing downstairs and went back upstairs.
"Sister, is breakfast ready? I'm starving."
After entering the room, he was furious and slammed the door shut.
He rubbed his face, sat down on the chair like a big boss, and waited for someone to pass him a bowl to eat.
"Right now, you must be hungry."
Qin Weihong hurriedly brought out three bowls of dumplings that were a little soft. As soon as Qin Sheng touched the chopsticks, he buried his head in eating.
"Sister, you eat too."
Qin Weihong sat down and ate half of the meal, leaving a bowl. She felt it was no longer hot, so she brought it into the inner room and handed it to Hao Jianjun who was lying on the bed.
"Uncle, please eat something."
Hao Jianjun's head was tilted, his face was beaten like a pig's head, his feet were covered with medicine, and there was a pungent smell in the room.
The corner of my mouth hurt, and I didn't want to talk for the time being. I waved my hand, my face full of despair.
He was such an unlucky guy. He went to the train station to recruit people and stopped there hungry to get a meal.
I was watching the fun with a bowl in my hand, but unexpectedly I was injured by mistake.
I didn't make any money, but I went to the hospital and almost got hurt.
"Sister, give it to me. My uncle won't eat it, so I'll eat it."
Qin Sheng finished eating, leaned against the door frame, held a toothpick in the corner of his mouth, and said this deliberately.
Hao Jianjun glared, stood up, picked up the bowl and ate in small bites.
It's not very hot, but it still hurts when I pull the corners of my mouth.
After eating a bowl of dumplings, I felt a little better.
After eating, I sat back on the bed and patted the bed board.
"What a bad luck."
After saying that, he rummaged under the bed, took out a wad of money and handed it to Qin Weihong.
"Here, buy some more meat these days, and use the rest to buy some clothes for each of you two."
The money from the sale of antiques was originally kept safely under his bed.
Unexpectedly, one day a fire broke out upstairs, the roof leaked, and all the water poured into his house.
I rushed home and took a look. The bed was opened and my eyes almost popped out.
Most of the money was soaked and rotten by water, and only more than 3,000 yuan was left after timely rescue.
Why didn't he deposit the money in the bank? He was so regretful.
But who can be blamed for this?
Money is becoming less and less valuable these days, and he couldn't bear to spend all this money on a small, shabby house.
Qin Sheng is already in his twenties and is almost thirty, but he still hasn't married.
He saved some money by hiding from others and buying some pornographic books in the past few years, and now he has bought a movie theater.
I have connections that allow me to buy a lot of pirated discs. Hong Kong movies are particularly popular recently.
In private, this is also a stronghold for many men. Once the door is closed, the CD is played, and the cigarette is lit, who knows what they are watching inside.
Qin Weihong was embarrassed to answer: "Uncle, I have money, you can keep these for yourself."
Ever since she was fired by Shao Xinming, she moved here to live with her uncle and brother.
The hair that I deliberately shaved short has grown back. I am almost 40 years old and have been single all these years.
Three single people were squeezed into a small room.
She works for a taxi company and spends most of her time driving a taxi.
The salary is not low, but I can rarely save the money I have.
After all, she earns a lot and spends a lot.
When she first started driving, she met a female customer who was generous and good-looking. She took her business card and introduced her to her younger brother Qin Sheng.
After doing this many times and receiving several complaints, I became more restrained and changed companies to continue working.
All the matchmakers in this area knew that it was easy to make money from the eldest daughter of the Qin family, so they all rushed to introduce a partner to Qin Sheng.
When she is not at work, the threshold of her house is almost broken down.
But she just didn't like this guy. She seriously suspected that Qin Sheng had a crooked butt and liked men.
This is a big deal, Qin Sheng is the only child of the Qin family!
When I’m on vacation, I always like to go to the imaging room for surprise inspections.
Qin Sheng was miserable, so he thought of a way to urge marriage.
Hao Jianjun kept his hand stretched out and did not retract it. Qin Sheng took it and split it into two halves.
He put the rest in his own pocket and stuffed the rest into his sister's pocket.
"Just take it if your uncle tells you to."
Hao Jianjun nodded with satisfaction.
Qin Weihong took the opportunity to respond: "Okay then, let's buy each of us a new set of clothes for the New Year and have a good year."
Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking was heard.
"Which little bastard smashed my window?"
Qin Sheng rushed to the kitchen, stuck his head out and yelled downstairs.
"Don't run, let's see who has better aim."
Back then, he was the number one glass killer in the tube-shaped building.
Unable to swallow this anger, he ran downstairs and caught the fat boy holding a slingshot, ready to beat him up.
The old men and women who were watching the excitement downstairs tried to calm things down and stir up trouble.
"They are all children, why do you bother with him?"
"That's right, wasn't you like this when you were a kid, Qin family kid?"
"This boy is just a little naughty. We're neighbors, so we'll see each other every day. Forget it."
He was so angry that he turned around in place, stretched out his legs and kicked the tree a few times, startling the birds that were roosting in the tree.
Don't forget to leave something behind before leaving.
"Ahhhh—these are my new leather shoes!"
…
"It's almost time, why hasn't anyone started setting off the fireworks yet?"
After the Xie family finished preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner, my aunt, uncle and Doudou came early with their food to eat.
Gao Xiulan wiped her hands and looked outside.
Xie Da Jiao sat on a small stool and turned the stove over without any hurry.
"Tonight is New Year's Eve, there will definitely be one."
Jing Qian helped pour the juice: "The Spring Festival Gala hasn't started yet?"
The TV was on in the room, Orange and Doudou were sitting on the sofa, and the room was warm.
Lin Xiaotong and Xie Yi stood while filling the fruit boxes, stealing a few bites from time to time.
"No need to wait, let's eat quickly and then watch the Spring Festival Gala."
Every house in the compound was brightly lit, with lanterns hanging in front of the doors, and the whole family was reunited.
"Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
"Here I come."
Lin Xiaotong suggested: "Mom, the bottle of wine that my teacher gave me last time is still unopened. Let's open it tonight for the New Year."
Gao Xiulan made the decision: "Okay!"
Wei Jianyuan helped unscrew the wine cork while discussing the matter.
"I don't like sweet drinks, wife, can I ask for a drink today?"
Jing Qian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Touch your beer belly and still drink?"
Doudou pushed up his glasses and said, "That's right, Dad, you really need to take it easy.
In the summer, if you wear a white vest to buy watermelons, the vendor will think you have another one in your belly.
After returning from studying for a doctorate abroad, he now works in a city's top-level hospital.
Last year, his father had a physical examination and was found to have moderate fatty liver.
His mother cried and forced Lao Wei to quit smoking and drinking.
Wei Jianyuan went over to find an ally: "You little brat, you're just trying to sabotage me. I won't drink white wine anymore.
Brother, let's have a few more drinks tonight."
Xie Da Jiao waved her hand: "Let's all drink less, and it's okay to replace the wine with tea.
Eat more food, there will be a rich meal tonight."
It's a joke. He wouldn't dare to do that. He had finally quit drinking beer. If he did it again, all his pocket money would be gone.
Orange took the remote control and selected CCTV.
Xie Yi came over with a copper pot: "Make way, the pot is coming!"
As soon as the lid is opened, the bone soup starts bubbling and the aroma fills the air.
Everyone couldn't wait to sit down and eat with chopsticks.
"Eat quickly, then watch the Spring Festival Gala. I wonder what skits will be played this year?"
"You'll know soon."
"This year's meatballs are delicious and springy."
"Chuanzi sent this. Try this. It has some dried seafood in it."
"Sister Xiulan, it would be a shame if you didn't open a shop with your skills."
"Aunt, I feel the same way. We are all honest people in this family and we all have the same vision."
"Xiaotong will make me happy."
"Oh, Mom, if you say that, won't I make you happy too?"
"Dad, there's food on your teeth."
"My daughter, your grandfather cooked these vegetables very well today, eat more.
It’s not enough, right? Dad will give you two more chopsticks. You can’t just eat meat.
Doudou, what are you laughing at? You want me to pick some for you too? The vegetables are right in front of you, just pick them up yourself."
"Brother-in-law, you are mistaken."
Halfway through the meal, we heard the sound of fireworks outside.
"Swoosh—bang—pop—"
Fireworks bloom in the night sky, dazzling and brilliant.
Everyone in the yard rushed out and stood on tiptoe to watch, and occasionally someone in the alley threw firecrackers out.
Lin Xiaotong was holding one arm on each side, watching with great interest.
"Mom, Auntie, look, the one on the west side is bigger!"
Just as she was about to turn around to look for Xie Yi, the flash went off and Xie Yi was grinning at her with a camera in his hand.
He waved his hand and Xie Yi squeezed over to watch together.
Chengzi and Doudou stood huddled together with their hands in their pockets.
"Girl, I didn't expect them to be so affectionate at home."
"Yeah, my grandma said this is called a good relationship!"
"You can't drag the dog out and kill it on New Year's Day, right?"
He was almost full of dog food, and when he looked back, he saw his father also coming close to his mother and almost dancing like a butterfly.
There was a lot of noise at the entrance of the alley.
"Ah, look at this new dress of mine! There's a hole in the back!"
"No, big brother, I'm setting off firecrackers, why are you standing in the middle of the alley?
Aren't you asking for trouble?"
"It's New Year's Day, I won't argue with you, it's my bad luck."
"Then I really thank you."
The Spring Festival of the millennium, with the ringing of the New Year’s bell, opened the first page of the new century.
