"Brother, brother, let's go, it's time for a meeting. You know these old guys are really capable. Today is already the 30th day of their birthday. Aren't their families busy celebrating the New Year? I was only halfway through preparing dinner, but they still asked me to attend a meeting!"
Xu Damao complained to Lin Tian with a resentful look on his face about the three uncles who insisted on organizing a meeting during the New Year.
"Just start it. It's New Year's Day. You still want to fight with them? It's not worth it. Just spend the New Year in peace." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"This is what happened, but the logic is different." Xu Damao was busy preparing for the New Year at home, and was full of resentment when he was called to the meeting.
"Okay, stop talking for now."
As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, Lin Tian interrupted Xu Damao's chattering.
If these three guys heard what Xu Damao said, Xu Damao would probably have no chance of having a good New Year and would be severely criticized on the spot.
"How annoying, a bunch of old idiots." Xu Damao finally muttered and cursed.
When Lin Tian brought Wang Bingbing and Xu Damao to the Central Court, quite a few people had already arrived at the court. Whenever there was a meeting in the court, Wang Bingbing would always be there. However, Lou Xiaoe was just the opposite. She rarely attended most of the meetings in the court and stayed at home most of the time. Xu Damao would take care of all the outside matters.
"Okay, everyone is here, please stop talking." Liu Haizhong sat at the table and tapped the teacup in his hand.
Lin Tian wanted to laugh when he looked at the table in front of him. This table had not been moved out for a long time since the three uncles were removed.
Today is Chinese New Year, and these three uncles have started to act pretentiously again, but no one is willing to argue with them about these things. It's not worth it during the Chinese New Year.
"Let me tell you something. Today is Chinese New Year. We gather everyone together just to have some fun and add some atmosphere to the New Year."
"Well, we are all one family in this compound. We can't just stay at home and celebrate the New Year. We should also celebrate the New Year as a community."
"I just discussed with the second and third uncles. After lunch, everyone should come to the yard and sit and chat together."
Lin Tian also realized that these three old men didn't have any serious work to do. They were called here just to gain some sense of presence and do some work.
However, Lin Tian had no objection to this kind of thing. Just have fun together. There were only two of them at home anyway. Zhong Yurong originally wanted to celebrate the New Year with Lin Tian, but was later called away by Lin Tian's mother-in-law.
Even the little lover that Xu Damao gave to Lin Tian was taken along by Zhong Yurong, so this year it was just Lin Tian and Wang Bingbing for the New Year.
"By the way, if you want to put up couplets, you can come find Uncle San and he will write them for you." Yan Fugui reminded them quickly as he saw that the crowd was about to leave.
Yan Fugui is looking forward to the Chinese New Year the most. No one would ask him to write couplets empty-handed. Even the stingiest Jia family would give him some fee.
"Okay, I'll be there in a moment." Someone in the crowd agreed. Even if Yan Fugui didn't say anything, someone would come to him on their own initiative.
On the way back, Xu Damao started complaining again.
"It's just a trivial matter, but you have to call everyone together. Can't you just let someone know? It's like this every day."
After Xu Damao finished speaking, he changed the subject: "By the way, let's celebrate the New Year together, it will be lively."
Lin Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He hadn’t really thought about this before. He turned his head to look at Wang Bingbing.
"Okay, then let's celebrate it together." Wang Bingbing agreed with a smile. Anyway, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage by celebrating the New Year with Xu Damao's family, so Wang Bingbing had no objection to him wanting to celebrate it together.
"Then go home and cook, and bring it over so we can eat together." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Then let's discuss it. We can't have an odd number for this dish," said Xu Damao.
"Well, let's discuss it."
Lin Tian and Xu Damao discussed for a while in the yard and then went back home to prepare.
“Wow!”
Lin Tian poured the vegetables into the pot, stir-fried them, added water, and then covered the pot.
Normally, when Lin Tian was cooking in the yard, he was very careful and would not make any noise. Today was New Year's Day, so Lin Tian did not continue to keep a low profile, otherwise it would be too much.
Even though Lin Tian was holding back, the aroma of Lin Tian's family's food still attracted the attention of many people.
The children who were playing in the yard ran to Lin Tian to play. After all, the smell of meat here was too strong.
"Brother, how is the preparation going?" When Xu Damao came over, he was holding a dish and chewing something in his mouth.
“Almost done, two more dishes are ready.” Lin Tian replied with a smile.
"Here you go." Xu Damao handed the plate to Lin Tian.
"Go away." Xu Damao said as he pushed aside the child who came over to watch the fun.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Lin Tian called the children over.
After saying that, Lin Tian turned back to the house and grabbed a handful of peanuts and melon seeds, and shared them with Liu Guangtian, Guangfu, Banggeng and other children.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin."
"Thank you, Uncle Lin."
Liu Guangtian now calls him Uncle Lin for free, and when others see Liu Guangtian say this, they follow suit.
The children would not leave after getting the benefit, and continued to play outside Lin Tian's house. Lin Tian did not chase them away, as it was not worth it during the New Year.
"You are really kind-hearted." Xu Damao said.
"We are from the same courtyard. Besides, it's the New Year now," said Lin Tian.
After saying that, Lin Tian waved to Xu Damao, and Xu Damao followed Lin Tian into the kitchen.
"Why did you invite me in so mysteriously?" Xu Damao asked curiously.
"Did you see the sticks outside?" Lin Tian said meaningfully.
“I see.”
"Do you want to give Shazhu a try? He's really screwed you over recently, right?" Lin Tian asked.
"Damn it, he gave me something to drink two days ago and I didn't get up for two days. I'm lucky I didn't kill him." Xu Damao was still brooding over how Sha Zhu had cheated him with the apology wine.
"I tell you, you can start with Bang Geng." Lin Tian said with a wicked smile.
"Tell me what you want to say." Xu Damao became excited when he heard that he could trick Sha Zhu.
"Let me tell you...you can do this...like this..." Lin Tian said to Xu Damao in a low voice with a wicked smile.
Xu Damao became more and more excited as he listened, and said excitedly: "Brother, you still have a trick. Damn it, wait and see how I deal with him this time."
"Go, go, take care of yourself..." Lin Tian said and waved his hand, letting Xu Damao to do it, and he didn't care about it anymore.
