A man who woke up and became a rich man

Chapter 64

As dusk fell, the old house finally had a reunion atmosphere on the reunion night of thousands of families.After all, there are many people and power is great, even if the heart is not enthusiastic, it is lively to watch.

The old house was brightly lit, even the wall lamps in the corners were turned on.The retro phones on the mahogany phone cabinet rang one after another, and Chen Yiyi accepted the New Year's greetings from all directions with a hostess demeanor.

Fortunately, I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run.Chen Yiyi has been in Jiang's family for so many years, but she seems to be a lady if she pretends seriously.

But in Lin Ziping's eyes, she was just answering the phone: nine out of ten calls were for the old man or Jiang Zai'er.

It's a pity that the two righteous masters don't care about these empty congratulations.The old man was sitting on the sofa playing with Xiao Xiao, and as for Jiang Zai'er...he was teaching himself how to make dumplings.

"Brother Lin, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Mu looked at the dazed Brother Lin, thinking that he was bored, and said, "If you don't want to pack, go out and talk to Grandpa."

"I don't think so." Lin Ziping came back to his senses, twitched the corners of his lips playfully, leaned in front of Jiang Zai'er, and whispered: "I just think Chen Yiyi is not smart enough."

Jiang Mu was puzzled.

"If I were Chen Yiyi, let Jiang Zhou answer the phone." Lin Ziping poked the dumpling stuffing with his index finger and forced them into it, "She didn't just want Jiang Zhou to meet some famous families, but all the callers. What a great opportunity."

Jiang Mu took the dumplings from Brother Lin, and teased, "There's too much stuffing, Brother Lin, is it going to be stuffed to death?" As he spoke, he used chopsticks to remove part of the dumpling filling, and pinched the dumplings deftly.

"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. Jiang Zhou will still be a puppet emperor even if he successfully enters the Jiang Clan." Jiang Mu put the dumplings aside, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Chen Yiyi has great ambitions, and she has a lot of means."

"That's right." Lin Ziping continued to slap on another dumpling wrapper, and dug out a spoonful of dumpling filling to show Jiang Zai'er, "Is this okay?"

"A little less." Jiang Mu picked up some dumpling stuffing with his chopsticks, "Too much stuffing will easily break when cooking."

"Dumpling stuffing is meat and will absorb a lot of water."

"Jiang Zai'er is easy to understand." Lin Ziping made dumplings like a gourd, "Who taught you?"

"True knowledge comes from practice. The more you grope, the more you will get it." Jiang Mu recalled how he made dumplings on tiptoe when he was a child, and he was very fortunate that he was good at cooking and could feed Lin Ge well.

"Then it seems that I'm still lacking in practice." Lin Ziping put aside a horrible and questionable 'dumpling', and there were seven or eight fellow sufferers beside him, "Such delicate work is not suitable for me, I will help Uncle Liu wash the vegetables .”

"Young Master Lin, as long as he is having fun." Butler Liu seemed to regard Lin Ziping as a young master who experienced life, and he did not touch the spring water with his ten fingers.

Jiang Mu reminded: "Shui Liang, brother Lin put on gloves."

Jiang Chengfeng's physical condition is not suitable for keeping the New Year's Eve, so he eats the New Year's Eve dinner very early, and the dinner starts before nine o'clock.

Jiang Chengfeng looked at the people at the table and said with emotion, "It's been a long time since there are so many people, this year is not in vain."

Whether he can survive the next year or not, that's another story.

"I respect grandpa. I wish grandpa the present every year and the present every year." Lin Ziping saw the obscurity in the old man's eyes, raised his wine glass, and said to Jiang Chengfeng with a smile on his face.

"Okay!" Jiang Chengfeng picked up the juice and smiled heartily, "Then I will borrow Xiao Lin's good words."

Chen Yiyi also hurriedly interjected, "I also wish my father a long life and good health."

For those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, the old man nodded in order to save face.

People at a table clinked glasses, and the lively New Year's Eve dinner began like this.

When I was half full, the dumplings just out of the pan were brought to the table.Jiang Chengfeng turned his head and looked at Steward Liu beside him, "Today is Chinese New Year, you sit down and eat together."

"It's against the rules." Butler Liu dipped the dumplings in vinegar and put them in Jiang Chengfeng's bowl, "Be careful of the heat."

"One rule on the left and one rule on the right," Jiang Chengfeng took a bite of the dumpling, "I really don't know where you got so many rules."

Lin Hai on the side smiled, and said, "Butler Liu has always been a rigorous person, and he has made no mistakes for so many years."

Butler Liu was very polite: "Mr. Lin is too much."

"It's Chinese New Year, how do you eat pimple soup?" Lin Hai glanced at Jiang Mu's bowl and asked in surprise.

Lin Ziping: "..."

How euphemistic, I thought you would say pig food.

Jiang Mu took a bite of the chopsticks used to pick up food for Brother Lin, tried not to laugh, and argued, "It's not lump soup, it's the dumplings made by Brother Lin. It took too long to cook, so it broke."

Jiang Mu was so petty that he was reluctant to give the dumplings made by Lin Ge to others, so he cooked them for another time, and filled a big bowl with soup and rice.

"……Oh."

"This is the fun of young couples. We, as old people, don't understand." Jiang Chengfeng shook his head, pretending that there was a big generation gap.

Lin Hai cooperated and said, "Yes, I don't understand."

Lin Ziping and Jiang Mu: "..."

How do these old people know how to make fun of the juniors? ?

.........

After drinking and eating, the old man was ready to go back to his room to rest. Lin Ziping wanted to accompany him, but was stopped by Jiang Chengfeng, "You guys have fun, don't accompany me."

"When we are free tomorrow, we will continue to play that game of chess, and we can win or lose no matter what we say."

However, due to Lin Ziping's busy work and Jiang Chengfeng's physical condition, the game between the two did not go on too much, and it was barely a clue.

Lin Ziping stopped and said with a smile, "Okay."

The old man returned to the room, and the rest of the people sat around on the sofa, staring at the annual Spring Festival Gala on TV.

Fresh programs emerge in endlessly, with a variety of tricks, attracting people's attention.But for the Spring Festival Gala, Lin Ziping still has expectations and persistence, and he must watch it every year.

Although Jiang Mu lacked interest in this, he couldn't stand Brother Lin by his side.Concentrating on feeding Brother Lin, and occasionally raising his head to glance at the TV, he was quite busy.

There was a playful Chinese opera on the TV, and Chen Yiyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "I remember that Lin Xiao also performed on the Spring Festival Gala, and he seemed to be singing too, and he sang very well."

Lin Ziping couldn't hold back, "This is not singing, it's opera. It can't be confused."

Embarrassed, Chen Yiyi gave Lin Ziping a gouged look.

When she mentioned it, Jiang Mu also remembered Brother Lin's Spring Festival Gala that year.In order to go to the scene to see Brother Lin in person, he asked someone to get a ticket after a lot of effort.At that time, Brother Lin was wearing a black suit and a bow tie, standing in the middle of the stage with a straight figure, and the lights were hitting him...Thinking about it now, it is still unforgettable.

Jiang Mu put the peeled chestnuts in Brother Lin's hands, "His singing skills have been professionally trained, so of course it sounds very nice."

Speaking of which, he hadn't heard Brother Lin sing before.

Lin Ziping put the sweet chestnuts into his mouth, "Mr. Lin Xiao is very good, he is my idol and the goal of my efforts! I also like him very much!"

The queen who sells melons is not as boastful as he is.

Jiang Mu didn't smile out of face, and boasted with Brother Lin, "He is the best person in the world."

Also my favorite person.

Jiang Mu didn't say this, but Lin Ziping understood, those affectionate eyes couldn't deceive anyone.

The angry Chen Yiyi stood up from the sofa, "I'm sleepy, I'm going back to my room first."

Lin Ziping: Who cares about you.

"Is Xiao Xiao sleepy too?" Lin Ziping looked at Xiao Xiao Xiao who was being held by Shen Yujie, and asked curiously.

"I just fell asleep." Shen Yujie patted Xiao Xiaoxiao's back, and also got up from the sofa, "It's getting late, Xiao Xiao and I will go to bed first. Don't stay up too late."

Jiang Mu nodded, "Good night, Auntie."

As soon as Shen Yujie left, the follower Lin Hai naturally followed his wife back to the room.Jiang Zitao didn't come over at all, so there were only Jiang Zhou, Jiang Mu, and Lin Ziping left in the living room.

Jiang Zhou, who had always had zero sense of presence, was finally willing to speak, "Brother... Happy New Year, brother."

Others call in advance to call New Year's greetings because they are afraid that tomorrow will be too early to disturb, and it will be too late to be impolite.As for Jiang Zhou, it was entirely because he didn't know what to say.

"I don't give you lucky money for New Year's greetings now, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

"...Okay...Okay."

Lin Ziping: Why is this kid so nervous?

"Change the color of your hair," Jiang Mu stared at Jiang Zhou's green hair, and said with disgust, "It's not ugly."

Jiang Zhou's eyes immediately became shiny, as if he won 500 million, "I'll dye it tomorrow! Brother, what color do you like?"

Lin Ziping: "..."

Your brother likes colorful ones, go dye them.

"... whatever color you are born with." It was rare for Jiang Mu to talk so much to Jiang Zhou, "It's too late, go back to bed."

Don't get in the way of me falling in love with Lin Ge.

Lin Ziping watched Jiang Zhou blithely return to the room, and finally admitted what Jiang Zaier said last time, "Jiang Zhou really listens to you, and the admiration in his eyes is not fake."

Jiang Mu gave a "hmm" and said, "His nature is not bad, but I hate the house."

Lin Ziping sighed.As for the child Jiang Zhou, to his mother, he was the straw that squeezed into the Jiang family; to the old man, he was a dispensable grandson; The lack of lungs and carefree temperament suits him quite well.

"Let's go, Brother Lin," Jiang Mu got up and walked outside, "It's almost twelve o'clock, let's set off firecrackers."

The two took a trunk full of fireworks and drove to the designated setting area.The sound of firecrackers one after another can be heard through the glass of the car, and the fireworks that rise into the sky render the vast sky full of stars, complementing each other.

Even though the firing area is far away in the suburbs, it can't stop the big guys from saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.There were a lot of people, Lin Ziping and Jiang Mu clasped their fingers together, weaved through the crowd, and finally found an open space.

Seeing Jiang Zai'er set up the firecrackers, Lin Ziping was eager to try, "I'll get some."

Jiang Mu handed the lighter to Brother Lin, and said softly, "Be careful."

The firecrackers in his house must be louder than those in other houses. Lin Ziping lit the fuse and quickly pulled Jiang Zai'er's arm back.

There was a crackling sound in my ears.

One-year-old addition to the sound of firecrackers.
