Chapter 75: It’s the New Year

Although the winter snow is cold, it cannot stop the rich joy in the air.

Most of the shops on Tiandu Street are closed, but the red lanterns and Spring Festival couplets have long been hung and mounted. Looking around, the whole sky is covered with fire-like red.

Although the fat man lives in the community, the traditional custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets is also indispensable.

Men, women, women, young and old, all year round, and every household chats and laughs happily. Although this Spring Festival couplet is tacky, it contains the satisfaction of the fat family in a happy life.

There is also a big word "Fu" in the middle of the gate. Unlike the good prints, Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" are simple red paper and black characters, which are cut and written by themselves.

These two works are the calligraphy of my uncle. I have been cultivating my character since I was thirty, and now I have been able to learn more than 20 years of experience in this word. I have written vigorously and powerfully, and it is even more simplistic and grand. If it weren't for my own Spring Festival couplet, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to see my uncle's calligraphy.

This New Year's Eve is like in previous years. My uncle also celebrates the New Year at the fat man's house. Although my uncle has countless women, he does not have a formal wife. Although he has a daughter, that daughter is really not likable. Instead of getting angry in that cold home, it is better to have a happy New Year with his younger brother, sister-in-law and nephew.

This New Year's Eve is different from previous years. An uninvited guest came to the fat man's house - Chen Suqing.

Every Chinese New Year is the most difficult time for Chen Suqing. Usually, the family reunites, and is harmonious, but she can only be alone.

Although Chen Suqing's father is an unqualified father, he is a filial son. He has tried many times to take Grandma Chen to Beijing for retirement, but Grandma Chen refused because of Chen Suqing's relationship. But the mother and son are in love, Grandma Chen feels sorry for her granddaughter and cares about her son and grandson far away. How can Grandma Chen, who has lost her wife, not want to spend the most traditional and solemn festival in China with her son?

Grandma Chen repeatedly asked Chen Suqing to go to Chen’s father’s New Year with her, but Chen Suqing refused.

The stepmother doesn’t like him, the biological father doesn’t like him, and the half-brother doesn’t like him, so he is an outsider there. People spend the New Year together, but what’s the matter with him? The New Year is nothing more than eating dumplings.

Chen Suqing had never told the fat man about this. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the fat man went to deliver food to Chen Suqing. When he saw the empty house, he realized that Chen Suqing had lived on New Year's Eve all these years alone.

The fat man would not let his woman suffer grievances. He gritted his teeth, glared, and stamped his feet: "Let's go to my house for the New Year!"

In Tiandu, there are not many people who go to their husband’s house to celebrate the New Year before they get married, but they are all already settled, and there is only one marriage ceremony left. I and the fat man have only made a private lifelong decision. My parents don’t know this relationship, so I have the nerve to go to the fat man’s house to celebrate the New Year.

The fat man has a sense of inferiority in weight, and Chen Suqing also has a sense of inferiority in family. What if the fat man’s parents dislike their family and don’t let him be with the fat man? Chen Suqing suddenly felt a strong sense of fear in his heart.

The fat man knew Chen Suqing's concerns: "My parents are not like that. They saw that I could cheat them of a beautiful daughter-in-law and be happy when they went back. The family treated you as an outsider. When they arrived at my house, you were your own."

"Okay, I'll go!" Chen Suqing is not a hesitant person. Since he will eventually face the day to meet his parents, it doesn't make any difference to meet him now or four years later: "I'll go change my clothes first."

Chen Suqing is different from ordinary girls. She usually changes clothes and makes the fat man wait for more than three minutes. This is what fat man likes most. She does not hesitate to do things or is not dragging on the mud.

But this time, the fat man finally realized the bitterness that most men in this world have experienced. Chen Suqing's clothes lasted for half an hour.

When Chen Suqing came out of the bedroom, the fat man's saliva was almost flowing out, and it was not in vain for most of the hour.

The tight jeans wrapped around Chen Suqing's slender legs. Although her buttocks were not as exaggerated as white women, they were also round and perky. Although Chen Suqing still faced the sky, the light pink down jacket and lightly tied ponytail highlighted the girl's prettyness.

"It's still early now, and there's no one at home, so why don't we..."

Chen Suqing looked at the fat man jokingly, twisted the fat man's ears and turned them around hard. He pulled him out of the house as if the fat man was yelling as if he was slapping a pig.

It's not okay to go to see my future mother-in-law for the first time. Although most supermarkets in Tiandu are closed for business and go home for the New Year, the only large shopping mall will be open until 4 pm. It's 2 pm and there are still two hours left. Go and sweep it around to leave a good impression on my future mother-in-law. Chen Suqing will not talk to the fat man with a vulgar and dirty mind at this critical moment.

It only takes three minutes for the fat man to buy anything. Chen Suqing is not the kind of woman who likes to go shopping all day. The two have money in their pockets, and in less than half an hour, they come to the door of the fat man’s house with big bags.

"This child brings the key again..." Han Shufen opened the door, and what caught her eye was a pretty and pitiful face.

"Good acting!" The fat man sighed in his heart: "Mom, there is no one in Chen Suqing's family, come to our house for the New Year."

"Come in, come in." Han Shufen let Chen Suqing into the room and gave the fat man a thumbs up.

Chen Suqing not only has good acting skills, but also has good skills. After putting down her things, saying hello to Wang’s father and uncle, she went into the kitchen with Han Shufen.

There is no reason to let customers work. Even if the new wife comes in, she doesn't say that she will make a fuss at the beginning! Han Shufen didn't want Chen Suqing to enter the kitchen, but she couldn't resist Chen Suqing.

Han Shufen was watching carefully at first. There were no young girls nowadays who could cook. Fatty, this beautiful classmate, don’t mess up a good New Year’s Eve dinner.

After watching for a while, Han Shufen became surprised. Chen Suqing's proficiency in washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and cutting meat was no less than that of her, a veteran who had been cooking for more than 20 years. Shufen tried to let Chen Suqing stir-fry a dish, and it turned out to be full of color, fragrance and taste.

"What a good girl." Han Shufen became more and more satisfied with her as she looked at her. She couldn't help but admire her son's methods.

While my mother and Chen Suqing were busy in the kitchen, the fat man who sat in the living room to watch TV with his father and uncle was extremely uncomfortable. All the talks between these two old guys were related to their grandson.

My uncle is a firm believer in giving birth early and many children. He told the fat man that he could give birth to a child at the age of 21, he would never delay until he was 24 years old. If he could give birth to 10, he would never give birth to 8.

The prince's father and uncle had different opinions. Although he also wanted a grandson, he still told the fat man to put his studies first and not to immerse himself in the affairs of men and women too early.

The two brothers had different opinions and almost fought for this matter. In the end, the oldest uncle won the war. After defeating his younger brother, the uncle promised his nephew a great benefit. As long as the fat man gave birth to a handful, he would reward him with much money.

"The incense in our Wang family has never been strong. In your generation, you are the only one who can be found. You have to work hard!" The uncle patted the fat man's shoulder firmly.

The fat man was so amused that these two old guys were also very funny when they were playing tricks.

The fat man didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, but he really cried in the kitchen.

The custom of Tiandu is that on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, dumplings on the evening of 30 and dumplings on the morning of the first day of the New Year. We have to make so many dumplings on the New Year's Eve, and the workload on this day is quite large. In previous years, the whole family has completed this work together. Not only is the lazy fat man necessary to help, but even my uncle, a big entrepreneur who has not cooked for many years, has to work.

After coming to Chen Suqing, a good helper today, everything was different. The work that originally required a whole family to mobilize can be completed, but now my mother and Chen Suqing can complete it. Chen Suqing is well frying, and the dumpling skin is also not slow, and the rolled out dumpling skin is round and thin.

During the process of making dumplings, there was naturally a need to chat. Han Shufen first asked carefully about the relationship between Chen Suqing and her son. Although this little girl came to her home for the New Year, who knows whether the two have truly established a romantic relationship, it is better to be cautious.

After Chen Suqing got the exact answer, the smile on Han Shufen's face became even brighter. Chen Suqing's appearance and figure were beyond words. The girl could look down on her fat son, but the ancestral tomb was smoke. What's more, this girl was clever and sensible. Now the young girl's impetuous, vanity, and lazy food are not visible at all. Chen Suqing is extremely satisfied with her prospective daughter-in-law Han Shufen.

After that, the two of them had a lot of random conversations. During this period, Han Shufen inevitably asked about Chen Suqing's family status.

Chen Suqing felt nervous at first, and then became calm. As I said before, this step is just a matter of time and will never be avoided.

Chen Suqing told Han Shufen about her family situation and childhood experiences without any concealment. Even the fat man gave her the laptop rewarded by her uncle and went to work on the construction site during the summer vacation to prepare for her living expenses.

"How come there are such cruel parents in this world?" Although Han Shufen knew that she should not cry on this day, her eyes fell down unsatisfiedly. Han Shufen touched her daughter-in-law's cheek with distress: "Child, don't worry about your living expenses in college. Don't worry about what you want. Tell your aunt what you want, and this will be your home in the future."

Chen Suqing wiped away the tears from Han Shufen's face: "Auntie, this is a happy day. Let's not talk about that topic. Make dumplings and let our whole family celebrate the New Year happily together."

The stone in Chen Suqing's heart finally fell down. The fat man who stood not far from the kitchen and kept pricking his ears eavesdropping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

The New Year's Eve dinner was extremely sumptuous. Han Shufen brought the plates one by one, and the aroma filled the entire restaurant. While serving the dishes, Han Shufen also showed off that Wang Father and Uncle, which dish was made by himself and which dish was made by his daughter-in-law. His proud expression seemed to have chosen a huge treasure.

No matter who cooks the food, the fat man just lowered his head and ate it hard. Although he didn't work that afternoon, he was tired! He had to reward himself.

The uncle knocked off the fat man's chopsticks: "I know how to eat, pour the wine on."

The uncle's instructions did not dare to disobey. He quickly poured wine for the uncle, father, and then poured drinks for Chen Suqing and mother. After putting down the drink bottle, the fat man held his cup and looked at the uncle and father pitifully.

"There are people with wives, just drink a bar!"

The fat man smiled and poured himself a glass of wine. He had at least two drinks a week in college. He hadn't touched the wine glass for the past half month. The fat man really missed him.

Uncle picked up the cup, and everyone followed it. Uncle smiled and said, "Happy New Year, our whole family will be happy every year."

...

The New Year is a very joyful thing and a very tiring thing. From the first to the third year of the Chinese New Year, the fat man visited the graves of grandparents and grandparents, and visited relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings everywhere, so busy that he was not touching the ground.

This year, the fat man's family has not changed much, and the relatives and friends' families have not changed much. Although he has not become rich, it is a blessing to be free from illness or disaster. This year, most of his relatives and friends have been happy. Only his cousin Ma Yijun looked worried.

After inquiry, the fat man knew the whole story.

Ma Yijun gave up his entertainment city business, started an industry, and founded Shenzi Computer Company, which mainly engaged in computer production and sales.

Computer companies actually do not have much technical content. Almost all computer companies across the country are customized from all over the country, and then they are assembled in a reasonable combination and labeled as brand machines.

Ma Yijun has a wide network of contacts and has acquaintances in all walks of life. In addition, Ma Yijun is generous and generous to others, and many people remember his goodness. The company was established without any setbacks. According to a friend's introduction, Ma Yijun even met a hardware genius. With his personality charm and money offensive, Ma Yijun successfully dug this genius to his own company. This genius is worthy of the high salary Ma Yijun gave him. In less than a month, he designed an extremely outstanding machine, named Deep Purple-Sonic 1.

Sonic 1 is a standard game machine. After testing, Sonic 1's excellent visual effect and flying smoothness exceed 90% of the game machine on the market. Although Ma Yijun has never read a book, he knows a simple truth: things are not easy to be easy, and they have to be cheap, otherwise they will not be sold.

In this way, Sonic 1 has a very high cost-effectiveness.

A good computer is definitely a good computer. All those who have used it are 100% positive, and both practical and price are close to perfection.

But is it perfect and useful? It still cannot be sold.

Fame is a wonderful thing. Most people would rather pursue a piece of shit with reputation than pay attention to an unknown piece of gold.

When Ma Yijun learned this, his family had already paid almost the best.

"The fibres will move this one back and use it myself. Mom is so stupid. Can't I use it myself?" Ma Yijun became more and more angry as he spoke. After all, he is not an entrepreneur, but an old hooligan.

"My computer is about to be replaced. Cousin, please sell it to me at the cost price!"

"Stupid it! Move it, get out!" Seeing that the fat man was slow to move, Ma Yijun stuffed the computer into the fat man's arms and pushed him out.

Standing at the door of Ma Yijun's house, the fat man hugged the computer and smiled bitterly. He had been using his computer for less than two years. What did Taixin do?

Ignore Ma Yijun's dilemma and setbacks. The fat man didn't have time to meet with the brothers Xu Hao and Liu Liantao until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

"Let's go to each family to pay New Year's greetings. I agreed with Brother Zhang that we will sit together in the Welcoming House at noon. Does my cousin's wife have time?" Liu Liantao asked the fat man.

"Obviously not!" The fat man told his two brothers about Ma Yijun's experience.

"Brother Ma's ambition is too great." Liu Liantao couldn't say anything about this matter.

I haven't touched Dota for a few days, and these three guys were still very uncomfortable. When they saw that it was still early, the three of them got into the Internet cafe and fought directly for three hours. It was already eleven o'clock when they came out of the Internet cafe.

The three brothers' houses are very close. After paying New Year's greetings from Liu Liantao and Xu Hao's house, it was exactly 11:30. After going to Fatty's house to pay New Year's greetings, you can go to Yingbin Tower by the way.

When he entered the fat man's house, Liu Liantao was shocked before he could say the New Year.

Chen Suqing sat on the sofa wearing a home clothes, watching TV while talking to Aunt Han about her experience in knitting sweaters.

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Hao is here, sit down, this is the girlfriend of the silk man. Yes, you are classmates, I don't need to introduce me!"

"This is our captain, of course there is no need to introduce it."

"Look at my memory." Han Shufen patted her forehead: "Yesterday I talked to Su Qing about the game you played. Can you make money by playing a game in your spare time in school?"
