"Thank you, Dad. Go to bed early. There's a lot to do tomorrow. My grandpa is back too." Xiao Zhen asked while holding his face.
"I'm back. The old man doesn't want to go out anymore. By the way, your grandpa will be 100 years old in May. The old man must have had enough troubles in the past few years. I went to see him a few days ago, and he said he would live in Wenjia Bay. But your grandpa can't bear to leave Old Zhang!
Your two uncles and I both know what the old man means. He is afraid of dying outside and not being able to return to his roots! Xiao Zhengtang sighed and said
"Dad, are all people like this when they get older?" Xiao Zhen asked his father
"This has been a Chinese tradition for thousands of years! Your grandfather is already the oldest person in the area.
I have talked to your two uncles and they will arrange for a Chinese medicine expert to take your grandfather's pulse regularly. Then, based on his physical condition, they will hire a herbalist to provide daily dietary supplements to protect the old man's health.
Many families are well-off these days, and they have no shortage of money for elderly care. One more day of their lives is a blessing for their descendants. His father explained Xiao Zhen's grandfather's upcoming daily schedule...
The next morning, Xiao Zhen gave out New Year's red envelopes to the seven younger generations in his family. His eldest son and second son were already 170 cm tall. There was no way their fathers were tall enough, not to mention their mothers, who had good genes and a good nutritional lifestyle. They were not like pig feed that made them grow taller.
Zhennan and Zhenbei, who are already in the second year of junior high school, are 360° handsome and have a bit of aristocratic temperament. At first glance, they have the temperament of a potential domineering CEO.
Xiao Duo's twin boy and girl walked with their short legs and were dressed like two little pandas. They adorably praised their uncle and bowed three times to wish him a happy new year. The two adorable ones charmed the whole audience.
Fourth-grade students Xiao Zhenxi and Xiao Weiyi both bowed three times and happily received the extra-thick red envelopes from their father.
There was also the little boy from his cousin Li Shentong's family, who was half a year younger than his brother's. He also walked with his short legs and imitated the older children to say "Congratulations" and "Congratulations". Xiao Zhen was also touched and gave a big red envelope to his little nephew.
This year, the lucky winner of Xiao Zhengtang's $1 million grand prize was the little boy from Li Shentong's family. The little guy shouted "Oh, oh, oh" excitedly, and Xiao Zhengtang handed the check to little Li Yuxun.
Xiao Zhen has always been confused about the lucky red envelope his father received on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After dinner, the whole family drove to their hometown under the Dahuangjushu tree in Yudong to visit their ancestors’ graves. They did not return to their hometown last year because a new baby was born.
At the end of this year, Xiao Zhengtang had his family's ancestral tomb renovated in advance. Of course, it was very simple, but it did not occupy a large piece of land like the billionaire debtor Lao Xu did later.
Xiao Zhengtang is a party member, so he just wants to keep things simple and solemn, but he still planted two kinds of trees: cypress and evergreen.
In addition, Shigutan is located halfway up the mountain, so the natural conditions are very limited.
Xiao Zhengtang felt very satisfied as he looked at his family's growing number of younger generations. It was a pity that there were two mother and son in Xiao Town who could not come to the worship, which was a pity.
Looking at Xiao Zhen who was firing artillery with his butt sticking out, he rolled his eyes at him.
Xiao Zhen raised his head and looked innocent. He was not standing. He was just helping with the artillery fire.
The old man felt unhappy and looked at the little kids. It was because Zhenxi and Zhenzhong had not come to celebrate the New Year, and the old man complained in his heart. Xiao Zhen didn't dare to bring other people to his hometown for the Spring Festival and make Xie Chengrun embarrassed!
Xiao Zhen suddenly felt that being a son, a father, and a husband was too difficult.
Xie Chengrun, the woman, was holding the boy from Li Shentong's family and standing aside. When she saw her father-in-law giving Xiao Zhen a dirty look, she knew that the scumbag who couldn't control his lower body deserved it.
After the sacrifice in Yudong, Li Shentong and his family drove home and stayed at a fork in the road.
Xiao Zhengtang and others hurriedly drove to Wenjia Bay, and after offering sacrifices to the ancestors of the Wen family and Xiao Zhen's grandmother, they returned to Wenjia Bay.
After a round of exchanging red envelopes, each family kowtowed to their grandfather and wished him a happy new year. Wen Dalu laughed so hard that his dentures almost fell out.
Then every little kid got 10 red tickets, and there were so many young people that dozens of people got them at once.
Wen Dalu has money in his pocket. Although he stopped fishing last year, he still has the income from renting a shop at Chaotianmen Wholesale Market and a gas station. He also has 10,000 yuan a month for each of his six children's living expenses. The old man has a lot of money in his pocket.
This year's red envelope money was prepared by my second uncle, while last year it was prepared by my eldest uncle. Otherwise, the 99-year-old old man, who is used to being frugal, would still feel distressed when giving out red envelopes. However, the grandchildren are used to giving the old man New Year money.
Civil servants like Zhang Lu were given 2,000 yuan even though the salary wasn't much. The amount does matter.
Nouveau riche like Xiao Zhen, Xiao Duo, and Wenming basically started with 100,000 red bills. The only difference was Xiao Zhen. His grandfather liked the green bills given by his grandson, but Xiao Zhen gave him 100,000 dollars as New Year's money.
On the 10th day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Zhen returned to Shanghai and had fun with the children for three days. Then he went to school with the children. When he returned home, he received a call asking him to go to Jiangnan Shipyard.
"Xiao Zhen, this is Lao Liu. I'm at Jiangnan Factory. If you have time, come over here. I need help with something." Lao Liu, who cooks delicious fish, called.
"Oh, okay!" Xiao Zhen agreed because he knew it was inconvenient to talk on the phone.
Xiao Zhen asked Fan Dabao to go to the airport and drive the military-licensed car back to Zhenyuan to pick him up and take him to the Jiangnan Factory.
In the evening, Xiao Zhen, Fan Dabao and others did not have dinner. They got in the car with a piece of bread in their mouths and headed to the special workshop of Jiangnan Factory.
Xiao Zhen made a phone call and waited at the gate for Lao Liu to bring his pass and work permit. This is the old rule of bases like 404, one pass per person.
Lao Tao once told him that when he was working in the Northwest, he would carry a green shoulder bag to work, which was specifically used to carry various certificates. When he arrived at a checkpoint, he would take out a certificate. Xiao Zhen even playfully complained that Lao Tao was "the one who issues certificates."
