The Chinese New Year is the most lively time in the village, and it is also a rare rest time for people who have been busy all year.
At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was just getting dark, and the sound of firecrackers in the village was already going off one after another.
Time to wake up!
Lin Mo opened his eyes sleepily, patted Li Jinwen next to him, and after she opened her eyes, he said, "Happy New Year, my wife."
Li Jinwen nodded, stretched out comfortably, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year, hubby. The New Year's gift is ready, but it may take a few months for you to see it. Where is my New Year's gift?"
"Haha, I prepared it for you two months ago." Lin Mo touched his wife's belly and said, "It's just like yours. I'll be able to pick up the goods in a few months!"
"What, pregnancy is very hard, okay? Besides, I'm pregnant, how can it be regarded as a gift from you! Aren't you lying!" Li Jinwen stood up from the bed and said unhappily, "I don't care, I want a New Year’s gift.”
"Have you forgotten what you said when you chased me?"
Forehead.
It's been so long that I really can't remember it.
Lin Mo walked to the place where clothes were hung nearby, took out a jewelry box from it, and said with a smile, "I'm kidding you, I've already prepared a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet for you."
"I remember one year when we went shopping, you secretly stared at this bracelet for a long time, and your eyes were full of stars. Although you didn't say it, I know that you must like it. Now, I can finally give it to you."
Looking at the shining gold bracelet in the jewelry box, Li Jinwen's thoughts were suddenly drawn back to his life a few years ago. At that time, he really wanted to buy a lot of things, and he was really envious of those in his circle of friends who received them. woman with gift.
it's good now,
Her husband makes a lot of money, and she can have what she wants.
More importantly, my husband has not changed. He is still the gentle and considerate good man who always thinks of himself.
Thinking of this, her eyes turned slightly red.
This feeling is so happy!
"Silly girl, you don't want to cry during the Chinese New Year. Come on, my husband will bring it to you." Lin Mo walked to his wife, put the bracelet on her hand thoughtfully, and praised with a smile, "Well, not bad, not bad. , Such white and tender arms must be matched with some good jewelry, otherwise it will be too wasteful!"
Li Jinwen's eyes were red.
It’s true, you’ve managed to survive!
I have been poor and miserable for so many years.
The happy life is finally here!
"Come on, come on, why are you crying? Get dressed quickly and wake up my daughter. People are starting to set off firecrackers."
"We can't delay it too late."
Yesterday we set off firecrackers to invite the gods, and this morning we set off firecrackers to welcome the gods. We had to wait until the couplets were posted before we could set them off.
At this time, the competition is about whose family member is more diligent and wakes up earlier.
"Um!"
Li Jinwen nodded heavily and wiped away the happy tears on his face.
The couple got dressed, Li Jinwen went to wash up, and Lin Mo went to wake up his daughter.
But……
I can't even scream
Lin Mo shouted from the left, and Lin Xiaoxiao rolled over to the right.
Lin Mo shouted to the right, and she turned over and hid on the left.
After she couldn't bear the disturbance anymore, she got directly into bed.
After not reading for so long, I have developed the habit of snoozing.
In addition, during the day, I am like a wild horse running wild, never stopping for a moment, so my sleep must be very good.
It's okay to sleep in usually, but not today, I have to get up early!
"Hurry up, my dear, if you don't want the red envelope your grandfather prepared for you, I will take it all!"
"Also, dad has prepared a gift for you, do you want it?"
"If you don't get up, I'm going to call your mother."
After some threats and inducements, he finally woke up his daughter and helped her put on the newly bought clothes.
When the family of three came downstairs, they saw that their parents and father-in-law had put on new clothes and were playing with the couplets they bought yesterday in the living room.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
A family wearing new clothes looks very happy.
Zhang Li still had some difficulty walking, so he was sitting on the sofa teaching Lin Siyu how to place candies.
While sorting out the couplets, Xu Qin saw Lin Mo coming down and said, "Son, come here quickly. This one is from the main entrance, this one is from the first floor, and this one is..."
"The paste has been mixed. It's in the kitchen. You can get it later. It's been boiling a lot this year, so it's okay if you use more."
Lin Changshui used to do the work of posting Spring Festival couplets, but now that my father's legs and feet are not good, he definitely can't climb up and down, so naturally he has to let Lin Mo, the new head of the family, do it for him.
Fortunately, there are many people this year.
In addition to his wife who can help deliver things, his father-in-law and mother-in-law can also help him correct the direction of the couplet.
Compared with other people's small Western-style houses, Lin Mo's house doesn't have much space to post couplets, and it only takes half an hour to post the couplets.
After pasting the couplets and hanging 3,000 firecrackers at the door, the whole family stood in the yard, with Lin Mo holding a sparkling incense stick in his hand.
"I'm going to order some. Cover your ears!"
After lighting the firecrackers, Lin Mo quickly rushed to the side of the crowd.
crackling
As the sound of firecrackers sounded, the faces of the whole family were filled with beautiful smiles.
Even if you have finished your work in the morning.
Today is the day for New Year's Eve dinner. Every family has their own things to do, so naturally not many people come to visit relatives.
usually,
After posting the couplets and setting off firecrackers, the villagers will hang out in the village and chat with familiar friends about the harvest throughout the year and interesting stories from all over the world.
Even without listening, you can tell that the most talked about person in the village this year is undoubtedly Lin Mo, who just bought two luxury cars.
During breakfast, Lin Changshui persuaded, "Son, you will take Jinwen and Xiaoxiao out for a walk later to get acquainted with everyone. This is our root!"
The older generation has more traditional ideas and wants Lin Mo to walk around the village as much as possible.
In the past, Lin Mo really didn't like going out much.
Because he grew up in Jinghai, he was really not familiar with these people. Even if he went out, he would not be able to chat with others.
Young people who can stay in the village without going out to work generally have a small family background. Even if they don't live in villas and drive luxury cars, they basically have a house in the county and can earn two to three hundred thousand a year.
Earning two to three hundred thousand yuan at home is really a lot of money. After all, you don't have to pay rent, let alone have to bear high transportation fees and other living costs.
If there were two old people in the family who were used to cooking and taking care of children, it would really be a life like a fairy.
Usually they don't think much of people like Lin Mo who work outside the home, unless they do very well.
Xu Qin also said at this time, "Yes, son, go out for a walk. Our village is well developed now. When you pass by your third grandma's house, bring her something. It's not easy for her to be alone. She has no one." My son doesn’t have a daughter either.”
"When your dad and I were building a house, they lent us 200 yuan. We must remember this kindness."
The third grandmother was a five-guarantee household in the village. It was said that she once had a son and grandson. Later, I didn’t know what happened specifically. Lin Mo was not often in the village and didn’t know much about these things.
However, he also clearly remembered that when he was a child, he would occasionally go home to celebrate the New Year. When he passed by the door of his third grandmother's house, the old lady would always give him some candies.
Not only for him, but also for anyone passing by her door.
I didn't understand when I was a kid,
Thinking about it now, the old lady may also be afraid of being alone and wants to make her home a little livelier during the Chinese New Year.
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk after dinner."
Lin Mo didn't refuse and readily agreed.
Now that I have money, my mentality is different.
Breakfast is very simple, just wontons, noodles, and glutinous rice balls. The real highlight has to wait until the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening.
After breakfast, Lin Mo held his daughter and held Li Jinwen's hand out of the house.
The weather is great today, the sky is clear and the sun is high.
The warm sunshine is very comfortable on the body.
The location of Lin Mo's house is right next to the main road.
It is said to be a main road, but in fact it is not very wide, barely enough for two cars to pass.
Thanks to the Passepartout policy, the roads in the village are in good repair. At least they are not like when Lin Mo was young, where there were puddles everywhere, and new clothes and shoes would get dirty in a short time.
At this time, there were many people on both sides of the main road, in small groups, and everyone was lighting cigarettes and chatting.
Lin Mo and Li Jinwen walked forward leisurely, saying hello to one or two acquaintances from time to time and saying Happy New Year.
When we walked to the village committee compound, we found that the stage had been dismantled, the yard had been cleaned, and some village cadres were busy carrying fireworks and firecrackers from trucks.
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but get excited when he saw so many fireworks and firecrackers. He quickly asked, "Dad, Dad, when will they start setting off the firecrackers?"
"We should wait until it gets dark and finish the New Year's Eve dinner." Lin Mo said with a smile after answering, "Our village chief has made preparations this year, so come prepared."
Li Jinwen was not a new wife anymore, so she naturally knew the story between the two villages. She smiled and whispered, "Yes, after losing for so many years, everyone is holding a breath in their hearts. The village chief came to the house every day a few days ago, Pushing my parents’ wheelchair to watch a play at the village committee actually had this consideration in mind.”
"The women's director also came to me and said that the village had always wanted to change Zhang Zhuang's name. She said that the higher-ups didn't completely disagree, but they wanted the village to make some achievements."
"What are achievements? The village's GDP must go up, the employment rate should go up, and the bachelor's rate should go down."
"She asked me if I could invest some money to set up two factories in the village. They don't have to be big and can handle a dozen or so laborers. She also said she wanted me to work in the village committee."
The village is also a small society.
Lin Mo still remembers that when he was ill a few years ago, the village cadres called him and asked him if he wanted to work at Foxconn.
Not only can I get a salary, but the village can also provide an additional subsidy of 10,000 yuan.
At that time, Foxconn was in various troubles and there was a shortage of workers. The superiors directly issued quotas to each village.
Of course Lin Mo didn't go, but I heard that a lot of people went to the village, and they were all villagers who didn't go to work all year round.
Ha ha
It got lively after that.
Foxconn only squeezed honest people and student interns. Once the elites from each village left, the factory was completely shut down.
Are you a good line leader?
Okay, can you try moving me?
work overtime?
Give your grandma a whistle.
No wages?
you try?
They really dared to gather together and cause trouble, making it impossible for other workshops that were working normally to operate.
Later, the person in charge of Foxconn said that he knew he was wrong, and spent another sum of money to finally send these elites from each village back to the village respectfully.
It took a little more than two months to come and go, and I only worked for a few days, making a net profit of tens of thousands.
Thinking of these old memories, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.
Although the countryside is not as prosperous as the big cities, and there are not so many flowers and trees, there are still many interesting things, and he knows a lot of them.
Lin Mo looked up at the sun, yawned, and said with emotion, "These people, seeing that our family has some money now, are all getting into trouble. In the past, when our family had no money, we couldn't even compete with them." Together."
"However, I finally understand now that regardless of whether you have money or not, life in the village is how people live their lives."
"If you have money, be generous. If you don't have money, you can get some private land, but you won't starve to death."
"It's so beautiful to bask in the sun every day, don't have to think about anything, and don't have so many troubles."
"It's not like when we were in Jinghai before, we were so anxious every day. Today we made two hundred less and couldn't sleep well. We had to worry about rent, water, electricity, firewood, rice, oil and salt every day."
Li Jinwen also nodded with deep sympathy.
She held Lin Mo's arm, and the happiness in her heart welled up again.
The days before were really hard.
Fortunately, it all passed.
My life now is carefree and without worries. Wherever I go, people greet me with smiles. Although I know they are all polite, it feels really comfortable!
Zhangzhuang Village is not very big. It only takes 20 minutes to walk slowly from the east end to the west end.
When Lin Mo's family of three arrived at a short and dilapidated house in the east of the village, they saw the third grandmother with white hair sitting at the door, holding a bag of worthless candies in her hand.
The old lady was old and seemed a little unclear. She just sat at the door, lonely.
Now that living standards have improved, no child is short of snacks. Even if she is willing to give the candies to the third grandma, not many children will actually reach out to take them.
More often than not, the children would just smile and run away, going somewhere else to continue setting off cannons, chasing and playing.
The five-guarantee households can actually live a decent life. There are subsidies in the village, as well as corresponding subsidies in the county and city, and they don’t have to pay for medical treatment.
Some people say that national policies are good,
Some people say that the five-guarantee households have no worries and are worried that they will cause trouble, so they are given such good subsidies.
But no matter how good life is, when you get older and don't have children around you, your days are still gloomy.
Lin Mo looked at the old lady from a distance and couldn't help but think of the wealth in "Alive".
"Why"
Lin Mo sighed, let go of Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, and said, "Xiaoxiao, go find the old grandma and ask for a piece of candy."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked a little scared when he saw the haggard old lady, and shook his head but did not dare to go over.
As the old man gets older, the skin on his face begins to look older, his eyes become cloudy, and he still smells like an old man. Unfamiliar children are really afraid to approach him when they see him.
Li Jinwen smiled and said, "That's your third grandma. When you were born, grandma visited you."
"Oh..." After a few words of persuasion, Lin Xiaoxiao walked over boldly, cautiously stretched out his hand and said, "Grandma, can you give me a candy?"
"Ah, my dear, do you want some candy? Okay... Okay, just wait a minute." The old lady was startled, then a smile appeared on her face, she nodded tremblingly, and reached out to get the candy from the bag, but she couldn't hold it firmly. , fell to the ground again.
She wanted to reach out and pick it up, but she couldn't hook it.
Lin Mo rushed up with a few words, squatted on the ground, picked up the candy bag, put it in the old lady's hand, and said with a smile, "Third Grandma, I am Lin Mo, and I am here to see you."
"Ah?" The old lady was deaf and looked at Lin Mo doubtfully and asked, "Whose child are you from?"
"I'm from the Changshui family, I'm Lin Mo!" Lin Mo raised his voice.
The old lady didn't know if she heard it, so she nodded, took a candy with difficulty, and handed it to Lin Xiaoxiao with difficulty.
Lin Mo didn't know what to say, so he put the gifts he was carrying into the house, then took his wife and said goodbye to the children and left.
In this case, there is no need to give money. If you give money, you don’t know whose hands it will end up in.
Bring some pure milk and fruit. Eat as much as you can. If you can't eat it, you can still give it to others when someone comes to your house.
Come and take a look when you have time, it's really more money than paying.
After leaving Third Grandma's place and walking not far into the village, a middle-aged man with a silly smile walked towards me.
He is about the same age as Lin Mo.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was jumping up and down, ran over in fear when he saw the other party and grabbed his parents' hands.
"The guardian of our village is here."
"Don't be afraid, little one."
Lin Mo smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over, "Egg, come here, take it and smoke it."
"Hehe. Hehe." Dandan smiled stupidly and took the cigarette. After opening it, he took out one and held it in his mouth, then gestured with the lighter with his hand.
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "I only brought cigarettes. I didn't bring a lighter. You can go find someone else to get it."
Idiot Dandan didn't bother, he smiled stupidly and turned around to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Mo thought of something, stopped him, asked for the cigarette case in his hand, took out all the cigarettes from the cigarette case, divided them into bulk, put a few cigarettes in a pocket for him, and then said, "You... Just take it out and don’t let others take it away stupidly.”
The cigarettes Lin Mo sells cost 100 yuan a pack and are sold in Hetianxia. This kind of cigarette is not common in the village. As long as a fool takes it out, he will definitely be snatched away by those with ill intentions.
"Thank you, thank you, hehe, hehe~~~" The fool nodded with a smile, not knowing whether he understood or not, holding a cigarette in his mouth and turned around to find someone else to ask for a lighter.
After watching Mr. Shu in Zhangzhuang, Lin Mo and Li Jinwen continued to walk home.
When they arrived, they took the main road in the village. Instead of taking the original road, they walked back along the provincial road next to the village.
They were just out to wander around anyway, so I might as well just walk around the village.
There is a row of bamboo forest next to the village, which is also the place where the dead are buried. Even though it is winter, the bamboos are still green and decorated with some snow. At first glance, it is quite artistic.
There is also some snow on the side of the road, which crunches when you step on it.
Li Jinwen and Lin Mo each held Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and walked home unhurriedly.
Li Jinwen said as he walked, "Husband, you said before that you wanted to open an antique store. Where would you like to open it?"
"I checked last night, and there doesn't seem to be a suitable place in the county. The flow of people is not great. I think we have to go to the city."
Lin Mo has also done some research and is quite clear on this point.
The things in his hands are basically high-quality goods, and the least valuable ones are estimated to cost hundreds of thousands or millions.
Although there are people in the county with a net worth of over ten million, there are definitely not many people who can casually spend hundreds of thousands or millions to buy antiques.
There are probably even fewer people who pursue antiques.
My hometown is not Jinghai, there are rich people everywhere, so where to open the antique store is very important.
But the problem is that Lin Mo didn't even think about making money by running an antique store.
The reason why I want to open an antique store is just to add a layer of identity to myself.
Even if you get rich in the future, the origin of the money will make sense.
"Honey, antique shops are special. Unlike those clothing stores and restaurants, they don't have high requirements on foot traffic and geographical location. It's no problem even opening in a village. As long as you have good things, antique lovers from all over the country will come. Come and find me.”
“The most important thing is the eye for picking up antiques!”
Lin Mo explained with a smile.
"That's it..."
Li Jinwen suddenly realized.
Although she didn't know much about the antique business, she still felt that what Lin Mo said was quite reasonable.
Immediately, she asked again, "What about the private schools you mentioned? Are you really going to do it?"
"Does our family...have so much money now?"
She actually had no idea how much money Lin Mo had.
She never asked what the specific number was.
"This, let's take a look while walking..."
"It's not that easy to build a school. Not only do you have to have money, you also have to consider all aspects."
Lin Mo actually only had a preliminary plan.
Education, medical care, technology...
He does have some ideas and wants to build a base camp of his own in his hometown.
In this way, you can enjoy top-notch resources in all aspects without leaving home.
Moreover, it can also improve one's social status.
This idea came about after having in-depth contact with Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe is like this. He owns several hospitals, schools, breeding bases, scientific research centers, etc. in various parts of Jinghai. It is a system of its own just like the Samsung Empire in Bangzi Country.
But Lin Mo also knows that these things are not easy to accomplish and require long-term planning.
Moreover, the most important issue now is to solve Chen Shanhe's troubles.
Until Chen Shanhe's trouble is resolved, everything is just talk.
"Um……"
Li Jinwen held Lin Mo's hand tightly and nodded thoughtfully, "That's true. It must be difficult to build a school."
"Of course it's difficult, but don't we all have ideals? I not only want to build schools, but I also want to build hospitals, build scientific research centers... and build an empire of our own!"
"Haha... If I really do it, I'll have to open a separate page for the village's family tree!"
Lin Mo said with a smile.
"Look how beautiful you are!"
Li Jinwen nudged Lin Mo with his elbow, and then encouraged him sternly: "But, hubby, I believe in you. As long as it's something you want to do, you can definitely do it!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Lin Mo smiled happily,
As they walked, they planned and enjoyed their future.
Soon, the family of three returned home.
Parents, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Zhang Li were also busy in the yard preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. Some were handling chickens and ducks, and some were in charge of washing vegetables. It was very lively.
Lin Mo naturally joined in the work.
Li Jinwen and Xu Qin taught Lin Siyu how to make dumplings.
Although the whole family repeatedly persuaded Zhang Li to rest, he finally found a chair and sat next to the sink to wash vegetables.
Everyone chatted while doing it, and they were busy until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when the village chief Lin Xueyi walked into the yard with four or five village cadres.
Lin Xueyi smiled and said, "Changshui, my brothers and sisters are all busy."
When he got closer, he glanced at the ingredients on the cutting board and said, "Hey, I guess your family will have the most sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in Zhangzhuang this year. It makes me want to come over and try it."
Seeing the village chief and village cadres visiting, Lin Changshui stood up, wiped his hands with his apron and said, "If you, Xueyi, can come to our house for dinner, then I won't be happy before it's too late."
"Otherwise, don't leave at all. You will eat at my house tonight. Xiao Mo just happened to have brought a few bottles of good wine. I can't drink it. It would be a waste to leave it alone."
Several village officials laughed.
Village chief Lin Xueyi waved his hand and said, "Forget it then. If I don't go back at night, your sister-in-law might think that I went to my little wife's house to celebrate the New Year. After two days of work, I will definitely find you Changshui for a good drink." "
"In the past, we didn't contact you often when you were out of town. Now that we are back here, we need to move around more."
The village chief is in his fifties, a bit fat, and a eloquent speaker.
After saying the polite words, he showed his true intention, looked at Lin Mo, and said with a smile, "Xiao Mo, today is the New Year's Eve. Originally, there are some things that I shouldn't say, but my uncle also encountered difficulties, so he only asked you to come here. .”
oh?
Is this getting to the point?
In fact, since the village chief and village cadres entered the courtyard, Lin Mo had already figured out what they were here for.
It was designated to solicit sponsorship for the evening fireworks competition.
"Uncle Xueyi, you've gone too far." Lin Mo said with a smile, "If you have any questions, just tell me. If my nephew can help, he will definitely help."
Village chief Lin Xueyi nodded and said, "Your words are more heart-warming than treating my uncle to a bowl of dumplings."
"Actually, it's not uncle's business, but our entire Zhangzhuang business."
"Xiao Mo, although you didn't come back often in the past years, you should also know about the matter between us and Zhang Ruji Village. I'm not afraid to open up and say that our village can't compare with others year after year. I'm really fed up with the cowardice."
"When we went to the township for a meeting at the end of the year, the village chief of Zhang Ruji almost sat on my uncle's neck and pooped and peed!"
"Is he looking down on me? He is looking down on the entire Lin family in Zhuangzi!"
"This tone can't be tolerated!"
"Moreover, the big boss of their village, Zhong Juncai, is back this year. He has received 500,000 yuan in donations alone. Adding in the donations from their village, it is estimated that there are 700,000 to 800,000 yuan."
"Uncle thinks so. I contributed 200,000 yuan in my own name, and the money has been charged to the account. I accept the supervision of all villagers. In addition, the village has donated a total of more than 100,000 yuan, and now there are nearly 400,000 yuan."
"Uncle, I just want to ask you, is it convenient for you to contribute some money? It doesn't need to be more, three or four hundred thousand is enough..."
As soon as these words came out, the people around him, especially several village cadres, all became nervous.
Everyone understands that good money is hard to part with. If you have to spend hundreds of thousands at once to earn a temper, others may not be happy.
Having money is one thing, and whether you are willing to spend it is another.
And it’s impossible to force others to donate money, it’s all from the heart, it doesn’t matter how much or how little.
But at the end of the day...
Everyone wants to win Zhang Ruji Village once.
Most of their lives have passed, and their village has lost most of their lives. It’s so frustrating!
The village chief Lin Xueyi also came prepared. Without waiting for Lin Mo to answer, he continued, "Xiao Mo, I know that three hundred and forty thousand is not a small amount. There are not many people in our village who can earn so much money in a year. "
"What does uncle think? If you are willing to use this money, uncle's position as village chief will be given to your father next year. What do you think?"
When Lin Changshui heard this, he waved his hands and said, "This, this, this, how can this work? Nonsense, this will definitely not work! Xueyi, we can all see your contribution to the village over the years, how can I stand up to you? s position."
Lin Xueyi got excited and raised his voice and said, "Changshui, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. As long as I can win once, even if it only takes a year, it doesn't matter whether I am the village chief or not."
"Even if I go out and get hit by a car next year and go to hell to meet the ancestors of our Lin family, I still dare to pat my chest and tell them that I am worthy of them and that I have tried my best!"
After hearing his words, everyone was silent and didn't know how to persuade.
Who doesn’t care about face?
This is the same whether people in the village or in the city, but people in the village have more of a sense of honor and disgrace as clan members.
And to be honest,
Although Zhangzhuang is a small village with an average geographical location, spending three to four hundred thousand to buy a village chief is really not expensive.
Let’s not talk about the issue of greed or not. Just talk about monthly wages, pensions after retirement and other benefits, which are enough to make many people want to be village chiefs.
What's more, the village chief is very authoritative in the village and is loved by the villagers. This respect can also satisfy a lot of vanity.
Lin Mo could also see that the village chief Lin Xueyi really wanted to win, otherwise he wouldn't have given up the position of the village chief directly.
Although Lin Mo grew up in a foreign country, he had little sense of collective honor for the village.
However, when I thought about it, I realized that my surname was Lin too. We all share the same roots and clan. It was really necessary to do something for the village.
At least it's a way of giving back to the villagers for their help in the past few days.
Moreover, Lin Mo has always felt that except for the small number of people and the fact that he rarely sees young people, his village is quite good and the overall situation is relatively harmonious.
What's more, this amount of money is not much for Lin Mo now.
Lin Mo glanced at his father, Lin Changshui.
It can be seen that Lin Changshui is also very confused at this time.
He knew that his son had made money, and it shouldn't be difficult for his son to earn hundreds of thousands.
But, hundreds of thousands!
He couldn't bear to spend so much money to earn a living!
After all, I came from poverty all the way.
"Learn from Uncle Yi. A family does not speak two languages. We all belong to the same village. We must work together to do anything."
"I actually don't make much money, and my abilities are limited."
Lin Mo said with a smile: "Let's use my father's name to pay 1 million to make our village lively. As for your position as village chief, it is more suitable for you to take it."
When they heard the first half of Lin Mo's words, village chief Lin Xueyi and the others thought that there was no chance, and their expressions became a little anxious.
However, even if Lin Mo didn't pay, they wouldn't say anything more.
The money belongs to others, and they can spend it as they wish.
However, when they heard that Lin Mo was going to invest 1 million, they were instantly stunned.
Then I couldn't help but get excited again.
Lin Changshui on the side was also trembling with excitement.
The village chief couldn't believe his ears and asked excitedly, "Xiao Mo, are you telling the truth?"
"Are you really willing to pay 1 million? 1 million?"
Lin Mo smiled and nodded, "Yes, 1 million, in my father's name."
Several village cadres nearby also came over.
"Great, let's see how arrogant Zhang Ruji is this year!"
"Lin Mo, thanks to you, we can finally feel proud for once!"
"Haha, I want to see if those guys still dare to be arrogant when we go to the meeting next year."
"Brother Changshui, you really gave birth to a good son."
"Don't worry, Xiaomo, the village will never forget your contribution!"
Lin Mo said with a smile: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If you want to thank me, thank my dad. Well, Uncle Xue Yi, give me your card number and I will transfer the money."
"Okay, okay, come on, this is it!"
After writing down the account number provided by village chief Lin Xueyi, Lin Mo transferred the money directly.
Then, the village chief Lin Xueyi thanked a bunch of village cadres again and again before finally leaving and rushing to buy fireworks for the evening.
There are several fireworks factories in nearby towns. As long as you go there with money, you can buy things back quickly.
"son!!"
Lin Changshui opened his arms and hugged Lin Mo hard.
Lin Mo smiled. He could feel that his father was reluctant to part with the money, but he was also willing to pay it.
After the village chief took the people away, the family began to get busy with the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.
There are a lot of dishes, and they are basically hard dishes that are rarely seen in normal times, so making them is a waste of time.
After Lin Mo finished making the dumplings, he took up the position of chef, responsible for cooking.
My father-in-law, Li Jinshan, is also an out-and-out gourmet. He loves to eat, knows how to eat, and loves to cook. Naturally, he took on the role of guide, directing the people around him to handle the dishes and guiding Lin Mo in cooking.
I kept busy until 6:30 in the afternoon, the sky was slightly dark, and the New Year's Eve dinner was finally completed. Lin Mo walked into the living room carrying the last dish.
The results of the whole day were placed on the large round table covered with red tablecloth. The family sat around the table, waiting for Lin Mo.
Usually the New Year's Eve dinner is not eaten until the Spring Festival Gala starts, but Zhangzhuang and Zhang Ruji compete in setting off fireworks at this time every year, and the villagers basically have no habit of watching the Spring Festival Gala.
It doesn't matter whether you look at that thing or not.
Who doesn’t have a meal of dumplings during the Chinese New Year and has to watch others making dumplings?
"Here comes Sixi Meatballs!"
Lin Mo put the dish in his hand on the table and said with a smile, "This is my first time making this dish. Please try it and give me your opinions."
"Two dads, you come first."
Lin Changshui smiled and said, "Let your father-in-law come first. He is a distinguished guest in our house."
"I am not a distinguished guest at the door, but my son-in-law is the distinguished guest at the door." Li Jinshan also said with a smile, "My dear, you are the master, and you have to be the first to use chopsticks."
Xu Qin followed up and persuaded, "This is our family. Regardless of you and me, Lin Mo is your son and Jinwen is my daughter."
In the end, no one wanted to move the first chopstick.
have no choice,
Lin Mo could only look at each other and Li Jinwen. They used their chopsticks at the same time and picked up two pieces of fish.
Lin Mo gave it to Li Jinshan, and Li Jinwen gave it to Lin Changshui.
The two said at the same time, "Dad, eat fish. I wish you good health and prosperity every year!"
"Okay, let's stop giving in as a family!"
"Yes, finish eating early and watch the fireworks early. Our village is going to win today!"
"Wow!! Fireworks are finally going to be set off!! I want to see it, I want to see it!"
"If you want to see it, eat it quickly. I won't let you go until you finish it!"
"You can eat it too, Zhang Li, you're welcome, just treat it like your own home!"
"Yes, just treat this as your own home!"
"Well, auntie, I'll eat, I'll eat."
After everyone took a few bites of the food, Lin Mo picked up the cup and said, "Cheers, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!!"
Everyone also picked up their cups and touched them gently.
Lin Changshui was so happy that he could finally drink. Although it was only a little bit, it was at least satisfying.
He couldn't wait to put the wine into his mouth, and the others also raised their necks and took a big sip.
At this moment, Lin Siyu slowly picked up the cup in front of her and whispered, "Happy New Year."
Everyone was toasting and drinking together, and the atmosphere was very joyful.
However, although Lin Siyu's voice was not loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears!
moment,
Everyone was stunned and looked at Lin Siyu.
Unfortunately, the scene that everyone was looking forward to did not appear. Lin Siyu just imitated everyone else's behavior, raised the cup and took a sip, and then there was no movement again.
He regained his dull look again.
Looking at Lin Siyu's appearance, Xu Qin's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She was such a good daughter, why did she end up like this?
Everyone recovered, except her.
If it can be exchanged, then Xu Qin is willing to exchange with Lin Siyu.
Lin Changshui's hand holding the wine glass was also trembling slightly.
Neither Li Jinshan nor Priscilla Zhao spoke, looking slightly lonely.
Zhang Zhang's heart was full of guilt for Lin Siyu, and his eyes were red.
Lin Mo didn't feel good either.
I couldn't help but think of that madman Chen Kainan.
It was because of Chen Kainan's whim that his family was almost destroyed!
He wants to imprison Chen Kainan for the rest of his life.
Let Chen Kainan suffer for a lifetime!
But these emotions must not be expressed, otherwise, no one will be able to eat today's New Year's Eve dinner.
"Dad, Mom, this is a good situation for my little sister. It means she will wake up soon. Don't be sad. Be happy. It's the Chinese New Year. I definitely don't want to see everyone crying like this!"
"That's right, Dad, Mom, eat the food quickly."
"Mom, your son made this dish specially for you. It's good for your health. Please try it."
Lin Mo persuaded his parents and himself at the same time.
Li Jinwen also followed suit.
Xu Qin wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, let's eat, let's eat. Let's eat quickly. After dinner, I will take my daughter to watch the fireworks. Maybe she will wake up when the excitement comes."
"In-laws, you should eat quickly."
"Xiao Li, don't be cautious, eat more, it's good for your health."
Gradually, a table was lively again, but Lin Mo could feel that the parents' mood was actually very heavy. Although the doctors said that the little girl had no substantial damage, people always looked like they lost their souls. It's distressing.
After dinner, everyone helped clean up the chopsticks, while Lin Mo and Lin Jinwen were responsible for washing dishes.
People have a lot of strength, and soon clean the living room. A total of nine people came out of the house.
Xu Qin and tension could not stand for a long time, so they had to take a wheelchair. Lin Changshui was holding a crutch, and her emotions walked at the forefront of the family.
Although he has been working abroad for many years, he is still deep in the feelings of the village.
Tonight, I finally won Zhang Ruji Village in the firework competition. How could he not be excited?
What's more, his son has the most money!
There are many people in the village, and Lin Changshui is also an elder. In addition, Lin Mo has donated 1 million in the name of Lin Changshui today. Gelly greeted, a happy New Year.
It didn't take long for Lin Mo to come to the street outside the village committee.
There are a large amount of fireworks stacked in the courtyard of the village committee, and it looks much more than in previous years.
Many people have begun to talk about.
"What situation, so many fireworks this year ????"
"The village chief is getting rich?"
"More than double than last year. We should be able to overcome Zhang Ruji Village this year?"
"You don't know yet? Lin Changshui's family took 1 million out, so I could buy so many fireworks. If there is no long water family this year, our village still has to lose!"
"How many?"
" 1000000?????"
"Haha, who said yesterday who said that Lin Mo's cars were all rented backmen? Can the car rental can take out 1 million fireworks?"
Villagers say everything.
Especially after hearing Lin Changshui to take out 1 million fireworks, his expression became very surprising.
After all, if you have money in your hands, you are willing to contribute to the village.
Many people were around Lin Changshui and talked enthusiastically.
Most of them are not familiar with Lin Mo. They want to say anything, and they can't talk about a few words. Therefore, Lin Mo's largest gold master is leisurely.
The time passed a little bit. By 8:30 pm, the first batch of fireworks had been placed. The village chief took the cadres in the village out of the courtyard.
They found Lin Mo in the crowd, handed the remote controller over, and said with a smile, "Need, you spend the most money, the first noise should be some of them."
After speaking, he looked at the nearby villagers and said, "The big guy is right?"
"right!"
"Nothing wrong!"
"Haha, I want to see what Zhang Ruji should do this year!"
"The arrogance of Zhong Juncai, the village, has been long enough, and it is time to kill him."
The surrounding villagers also began to coax.
Lin Mo wanted to hand the ignition remote control to his dad, but Lin Changshui waved his hand and motioned for him to come.
Lin Xiaoxiao jumped his feet and said excitedly, "Dad, let me come, let me come. I want to play!"
"Okay, let you come." Lin Mo hugged Lin Xiaoxiao, put it on his neck, and handed the remote control to her at the same time, and explained, "Press the red button in the middle, press hard, press hard, press hard, press hard, press hard, press hard. Just go on. "
There are too many people around, the daughter is too short, and standing on the ground is very limited.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, and then under the gaze of all the villagers, he stretched out his hands and pressed the button heavily.
prick.
The sound of the burning of gunpowder sounds,
The next moment,
The fireworks in the courtyard were ignited, with gorgeous light, straight into the dark sky.
boom!
When the highest point was reached, the fireworks burst instantly, and the colorful patterns bloomed in the sky.
Almost at the same time, the sky on the east side of Zhangzhuang was ignited by the gorgeous fireworks.
The two adjacent villages, the dazzling competitions every year, started!
One hour before the beginning, the two sides also played back. Basically, you put a large -scale firework combination. I also put a large -scale firework combination. If you put a set of fireworks, I followed a group of fireworks.
Obviously both sides have not greeted, but the whole thing is like the two big brothers in the live broadcast room are playing PK.
However, they are not competing for whose female anchor can win, but the face of people in the village!
The Lin Mo family has no victory and defeat, but she can better appreciate the fleeting and beautiful beauty.
In this way, for nearly two hours, the sky of Zhang Ruji gradually darled, and the density and variety of fireworks were not as good as before.
Seeing this scene, the village chief Lin Xueyi shouted excitedly, "Haha, when I am angry!"
"Pull out all the fireworks and let me!"
With a order, a dozen strong guys in the village immediately moved to clean up the firework packaging that had been burned on the ground at the fastest speed, and then re -ignited the new fireworks.
The next moment,
A variety of fireworks patterns bloom again on Zhangzhuang's sky, one after another, it is necessary to illuminate the entire village.
In contrast, Zhang Rujun, although he followed a few more, gradually gone no movement.
"It's so cool!"
"Hahahaha, walk around, is anyone going to Zhang Ru together with me!"
"You're crazy, you are in the past, you must not let people kill!"
"He dares to move my fingers, I dare to lie down and watch the car!"
"I go!"
"go together!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Relavimate, this year's fireworks are really fun!"
"Haha, my daughter -in -law had inquired just now, Zhang Ruji Village took 500,000, and now he is scolding the village chief!"
The villagers are more excited than the other, and young people are okay, especially those who are in the age of 60 or 70, they are like they really play a victory.
Waiting for the end of the fireworks, it is more than 10 o'clock.
After a while in the Square of the Village Committee, about 11 o'clock, Lin Mo pushed the wheelchair and was going to take a family home to rest.
After all, they are all patients and are not suitable for long -term exercise. Besides, the temperature outside is very low and cold.
At this time, a group of 30 years in the village, people who were almost the same as Lin Mo came over.
One of them said with a smile, "Brother Lin, play two puppets at night? Rare to see you back once?"
A few people next to them also followed.
Another person looked at Li Jinwen and said, "Xunzi can't let my brother stay at home all day. Men, you have to take the time to play for the meeting, do you think so?"
Li Jinwen laughed, "I didn't care about him. If he was willing to play, I had no opinion."
She really has no opinion.
She usually looked at her hard work, but she hoped that her husband could relax, don't live so tired.
Li Jinshan also said, "Young people are more friends. Lin Mo, you go to play for the meeting, relax, don't play too big, if you dare not go, I will accompany you!"
Zhao Huixian glanced at him, and Li Jinshan quickly closed his mouth.
Lin Mo knows that this group of people is going to call themselves to play cards, and they may not have a trap, maybe simply to get closer to him.
You can take out 1 million people who release fireworks in the village, and change to the former Lin Mo, and have to worship for a while.
However, he doesn't love gambling.
Losing the money that hurts himself, winning the money of others.
What's more, in the past two days, Lin Mo has received two same information in a row. Both villagers have lost a year's savings and have prepared to step on the train.
Gambling is too hurtful, Lin Mo has never liked it.
After a long time, a few packs of cigarettes were sent, and after passing the peers in these villages, Lin Mo and his family returned home.
Sometimes when you go to play cards, you might as well accompany his wife to warm the quilt.
Others may not understand.
Ke Linmo knew that his comfort was not easy!
After a whole day, I got up very early in the morning. At this point, although the excitement in the hearts of everyone had not passed, it was a bit tired.
After chatting together, after a few words, they returned to their own rooms.
Mainly parents, little girls, tension, their bodies have not fully recovered, and they cannot be boiled too late.
I took a bath simple, and when Lin Mo was lying on the bed, it was almost 0 points.
At 0 o'clock, it is the real New Year.
Lin Mo looked at the fireworks that were still blooming from time to time outside the window, and quietly waited for the system to prompt the sound.
Because as soon as the sound of the system sounded, it proved that it was 0 o'clock. The new day was also a new year.
"Two minutes left!"
Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't slept yet, saying that he had to accompany his parents to New Year's Eve.
Every year in the past, they came here like this.
"There is still a minute!"
The family of three sit around and watch the countdown displayed on the phone.
"23:59:57"
"23:59:58"
"23:59:59"
"Happy New Year!"
A family of three, open at the same time!
Lin Xiaoxiao jumped up high in bed.
On weekdays, if Lin Xiaoxiao dared to jump in bed, Li Jinwen would definitely catch her.
But at this special time, Li Jinwen also took the initiative to let it go, for fear that Lin Xiaoxiao would accidentally step on his stomach.
Today, Li Jinwen's stomach is a little faint.
"Husband, Happy New Year."
"Well, Happy New Year, Wife!"
Lin Mo hugged Lin Jinwen, gently stroked Li Jinwen's belly with his palm, and laughed, "At this time next year, we are a family of four."
Li Jinwen's face flushed slightly, and he looked at the very happy daughter on the bed, "Yeah, I won't be so lonely in the future."
Lin Mo kissed Li Jinwen's hair.
Immediately, the intelligence opened subconsciously.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but at first glance, Lin Mo was frightened.
Lin Mo's face became irony instantly!
In the eyes, the color of fear is revealed!
Li Jinwen, who was snuggling in Lin Mo's arms, felt the strangeness of her husband as soon as possible, twisted her head, saw her husband's ugly face, and the horrified eyes, could not help but sit upright, and asked worriedly: "What's ... what's wrong? Husband?"
Looking at the contents of the system panel, although Lin Mo was struggling to endure, he couldn't help trembling.
As for his wife's question, he didn't hear it at all!
how come! !
how so! ! !
