Brother and sister Li Ming and Li Rui looked at each other, stretched out their hands and said, "Mom, Dad, Happy New Year!"
"Okay, the same goes for you."
Father Li smiled and gave each of the brother and sister a red envelope that he had prepared long ago.
Mother Li also looked happy and gave each of them a New Year's red envelope.
The Li family did not look down on the bad habits of their girls. The amounts in the red envelopes given to the brother and sister were exactly the same. This alone was enough to leave the other families in the courtyard far behind.
"Brother, Happy New Year, bring me the red envelope!"
Li Rui, who received the red envelope, was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, she looked at her brother.
Li Ming also handed Li Rui a red envelope he had prepared, which contained only five yuan.
Li Rui didn't ask for red envelopes from Li Ming in previous years, but she didn't have a job last year, so this time it was Li Ming's turn to start giving red envelopes to his sister during the Chinese New Year.
Not only was the Li family's day very lively, but other families in the courtyard also spent their time in joy and laughter.
evening.
After Yi Zhonghai finished dinner, he walked towards the front yard and went straight to the third uncle Yan Fugui's house.
"Master? Why are you free to come here today?"
The third uncle, Yan Fugui, looked at the rare guest in front of him and joked. Normally, few people from the Yan family visit their home, let alone Yi Zhonghai.
After a comfortable end of the year this year, Yi Zhonghai also replied cheerfully, "I have something to discuss with you two stewards. Why don't I come to the front yard to invite you first?"
As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai handed Yan Fugui a cigarette, and then gave him another cigarette.
"What's the matter?"
"Good thing, let's go to the backyard to find Lao Liu first, and then you two listen to what I have to say, okay?"
Yan Fugui had already taken several puffs on the cigarette. When he heard what Yi Zhonghai said was a good thing, he followed him to the backyard.
The two of them passed by the corridor connecting the middle courtyard, and Li Ming, who was in the room, happened to see this scene.
"Hey, these two stewards are getting into trouble together, and I don't know what they are thinking about?"
Li Ming muttered a few words and didn't bother to care about what they were doing. As long as they didn't come to their Li family to find trouble, he could do whatever they wanted.
Backyard, Liu's house.
Liu Haizhong was very happy to see Yi Zhonghai and He Yan Fugui coming hand in hand, because this was a gathering of the three stewards in the courtyard. Apart from anything else, this alone could make Liu Haizhong happy for two days.
"Let's talk about it now, sir."
After Yan Fugui finished smoking the cigarette in his mouth, he took another cigarette from the cigarette box in bangs on the table and refilled it for himself.
Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai with the same curiosity, and was quite interested in the good things Yi Zhonghai said.
"I'm thinking about our whole group reunion next year. You two will consider it?"
"Group party?"
"Group New Year greetings?"
Yi Zhonghai saw that the two people understood what they meant so quickly, and his evaluation of these two stewards was a little higher, but not much.
Where did this bad idea come from? This has to start from early this morning when the Jia family and their little bastard came to the Yi family to pay New Year's greetings.
Every mouthful of Banggeng is like a grandfather, and every mouthful of Jia Dongxu is like a master. The shouting made Yi Zhonghai burst into tears~
Later, He Yuzhu brought He Yuyu to visit him to pay New Year's greetings, allowing Yi Zhonghai to enjoy the feeling of having a son at his knees.
Although the other parties involved may not think so, at least Yi Zhonghai feels a better atmosphere. As long as we all have a group worship together next year, wouldn't Yi Zhonghai be more comfortable?
Moreover, this group visit can be regarded as something that promotes neighborly feelings, which can be regarded as a good thing.
As for the two stewards, to be honest, Yi Zhonghai never thought that they would refuse this.
Liu Haizhong likes to show his authority. During the Chinese New Year next year, when so many people shout "Second Master" in unison, Liu Haizhong will feel comfortable taking off!
As for Yan Fugui, it's even simpler. Although he may spend more New Year's money to go out, their children can also use this excuse to come to visit and pay New Year's greetings!
We are all children, and they have all come to visit you to pay New Year greetings. You can’t afford not to pay a penny each and every one of them, right?
The gain is definitely greater than the effort!
After Yi Zhonghai finished talking about the group visit, he didn't continue to speak. He smoked and waited for their reactions.
It was not beyond Yi Zhonghai's expectation. Regardless of their purpose, the two uncles nodded in unison.
"By the way, sir, this thing can't be mandatory, right?"
The third uncle, Yan Fugui, was still the conscientious one and asked a crucial question.
Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he really hadn't considered which family would not participate, especially when the three uncles all agreed. However, for the sake of his own personality, Yi Zhonghai still said, "Don't worry. , what do we have to enforce on this thing?"
Yan Fugui breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't want to ask this question, but he couldn't afford to offend the Li family in their front yard.
If the Li family doesn't want to participate, and it turns out that it's mandatory, then wouldn't the relationship between Yan Fugui and the Li family that had just been eased during this period be in vain again?
"Then when will we announce this?"
Liu Haizhong was a little impatient at this moment. Although he couldn't enjoy it this year, it was good to talk about it first.
Yi Zhonghai pondered for a while, "It's too late today. Let's hold an all-staff meeting tomorrow after dinner!"
The group visit in the original plot was decided through discussions between the three stewards of the courtyard.
. . . . . .
The next day.
Front yard, Li's house.
Early this morning, Comrade Wu Fang was called away by someone who came temporarily from the sub-district office, saying that the sub-district office needed to issue a notice about something.
It was not until the afternoon that Comrade Wu Fang came back from the street office with a lot of worries.
Li's father, Li Ming, and Li Rui were both startled when they saw Li's mother coming back worried. They didn't expect that they were fine in the morning, but when they came back in the afternoon, they looked different.
Seeing this, Father Li quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mother Li shook her head and signaled to close the door. When Li Ming saw it, she went over and closed the door.
"Let's go to the living room and talk. Don't talk in the small living room."
After speaking, Mother Li took the lead and walked to the living room.
When the three of them took a look, they knew that something important was going on this time, and they all followed him with serious expressions.
Li's house, living room.
Mother Li spoke after the four members of the Li family sat down.
"Do you still remember the idea of "going to the mountains and going to the countryside" proposed by above two years ago?"
Several people were stunned, and Li Ming also suddenly realized.
