As the new year approached, Aunt Liu and Bo He gradually got busy. They went out to buy some new year goods every day, and gradually they filled the kitchen. Yu Shulin's winter vacation homework has been done ahead of time, so he followed Aunt Liu's various supermarket markets every day to help carry things and pay.
Now that the currency depreciation has begun to take shape, Aunt Liu has been nagging about the unspent money all the way, looking very worried.
Yu Shulin is a rich man. He has never worried about money since he was a child. Although he had a miserable life in his previous life, he never had the opportunity to worry about money. In this life, he directly squeezed the property left by his mother and went to the local tyrant brother. He usually managed enough pocket money. Every time he touched his mother, the money left by him was to buy gifts for his brother. He really didn't think about the depreciation of the coins.
He was just a little worried. The clothes that his brother looked like were very expensive. With his little money, it seemed that he couldn't buy gifts several times... Very poor.
The exam gift Liang Zhou gave to Yu Shulin was finally bought. It was the latest computer.
Now Penguin and other chat software have begun to be popular among students. Many students in the class have numbers. Now that he has a computer, he also applies for one.
He studied hard in high school in his previous life. Although he occasionally went online, he didn't have much contact with him and he was a little unskilled in typing. Liang Zhou stood behind him, watching him slowly typing key by key, hooking his lips, carefully taking down his penguin, and returning to the study.
Suddenly the sound of a friend's application reminder sounded, Yu Shulin stopped typing, and curiously clicked on it with the mouse. It was a new whiteboard account who applied to be friends with the name Liang Zhou written in the column of his name. He was stunned, then smiled and agreed.
Three days before the new year, He Long moved to the villa to join the New Year with everyone.
On the Lunar New Year's Day, Liang Zhou dressed Yu Shulin well and took him to the Zhou family’s old house for a reunion dinner.
Yu Shulin was a little nervous, still hesitating when he went out.
"Why don't I go, I'm just an outsider, it's inappropriate to go..." In his capacity, he always felt a little embarrassed to go to Zhou's for reunion dinner.
"Not an outsider, you are my brother." Liang Zhou wrapped a scarf for him, pushed him into the car, and went around to the driver's seat to sit down, sideways to help him fasten his seat belt, "Relax, just eat a meal. ."
"But… "
"It's nothing." Liang Zhou got up and touched his head: "Uncle and uncle know that you live with me. When you call me, you have asked me to take you. Don't worry, they get along well. ."
When everything came to this point, Yu Shulin couldn't refuse any more, nodded, and relaxed a little.
The Zhou family’s old house is on the other side of the city. Liang Zhou drove for more than an hour before arriving. Yu Shulin's relaxed mind gradually tightened over time.
The car drove into the old city. This area was full of old houses and the road was a bit narrow. Liang Zhou had to slow down. He drove to a hutong entrance, and the car couldn't get in. Liang Zhou got off the car, carrying Nianli and leading Yu Shulin towards the inside.
A child was playing with a firecracker along the road. A firecracker happened to explode at Yu Shulin's feet. He was taken aback, and the gift box in his hand was almost thrown to the ground.
Liang Zhou gave him a quick hand, glanced at the road conditions along the road, frowned, simply changed all the New Year gifts to his right hand, took his hand, and whispered: "Be careful, this piece of children is more Lots, a little more lively."
Yu Shulin nodded, glanced down at the hand held by the two of them, and smiled with his eyes bent-he liked the atmosphere, it was very lively.
Zhou He was jumping up and down at the gate of the courtyard. The firecrackers were crackling. From a distance, he saw Liang Zhou leading the person walking over. After leaving the firecracker, he ran over with a grin. , I wish a happy new year and all the best, red envelopes, red envelopes, get them!"
Perhaps he was infected by the atmosphere of the New Year. Liang Zhou had a rare smile on his face. He took a thick red envelope from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Just you are the most slippery, here you are."
Zhouhe quickly took it and felt the thickness of the red envelope. His smile grew bigger. The dog-legged came over to help Liang Zhou raise the gift: "Cousin is still generous, come and come. It must be very heavy to carry so many things. you."
Seeing him approaching, Yu Shulin smiled and said hello, "Zhouhe, happy new year."
Zhouhe deliberately made a look of surprise and cried out strangely: "Oh, I thought from a distance that my cousin brought a cousin back. It turned out to be Shulin. Welcome, happy new year, go, I will take you Go and see the new game console I received!" He said that he came to talk to Yu Shulin, pulling him to charge into the house.
Liang Zhou heard the word "Cousin" and held Yu Shulin's hand tightly, then loosened it, and Zhuo Zhou pulled the person away, and said, "Xiaohe, don't talk, Shulin also mentioned it. It’s something."
"I know, I know." Zhouhe waved his hand and led Yu Shulin into the yard.
A group of people in the yard were painting the spring festival couplets. Seeing the boat and bluffing in, a Qingjun young man standing on the outermost periphery smiled and said: "Xiaohe, you finally finished the firecracker? Come and help put the window grilles. . Hey, who is this, is your classmate?"
Yu Shulin stopped hurriedly and said hello: "Hello, I am Yu Shulin, happy new year."
"Ah, you are Shulin?" Qingjun young man was stunned, looked at him up and down, his smile on his face widened, and enthusiastically greeted him: "I am the eldest son of Dafang Zhouqi, you can just call my cousin with Zhouzhou. By the way, why are you alone, Zhouzhou?"
Being pulled by Zhouhe, Yu Shulin nodded vaguely and said, "Happy new year, brother is outside."
Zhouhe was impatient, and pointed his finger behind him, and said, "Cousin is outside. Go and see for yourself! I'll take Shulin in to put things, and you will post the window grilles yourself. Go, Shulin, let's enter the house and ignore them. "
"Smelly boy, you know to be lazy." Zhou Qingren scolded him when he heard the words. Yu Shulin nodded friendly and said softly, "Go in and drink some hot tea. Warm your hands."
"Yeah." Yu Shulin nodded obediently and couldn't help smiling.
The people who were busy posting the Spring Festival couplets had already stopped their movements and greeted Yu Shulin with a smile.
Liang Zhou stepped forward, his eyes warmed when he saw this situation, and he greeted his relatives in the courtyard one by one. As soon as he was about to enter the house with Yu Shulin, Zhou Qi grabbed his arm and grabbed the strong man directly.
There is an old lady sitting in the room, talking to the female relatives who are sitting around her, her face is red, and she looks very tough.
Zhouhe pulled Yu Shulin in, bowed his head and began to pull on the sofa, and asked casually: "Sister, did you see my bag? I remember to put it here."
A graceful and graceful woman stood up from the old lady's side, glanced at him disgustingly, and greeted Yu Shulin with a smile: "I heard Zhouzhou mentioned you a long time ago. It's called Shulin, right? Come and sit down. ."
Yu Shulin didn't expect everyone to be so kind to him, and hurriedly greeted him: "Hello, happy new year."
The woman smiled, came over to pull him, and said gently: "My name is Zhou Shi, you can call my cousin." Then she helped him introduce the people in the house, "This is grandma, aunt, and aunt, you follow Just call Zhouzhou. You are Zhouzhou’s younger brother, and that’s from my Zhou family. Don’t be restrained.”
Yu Shulin nodded embarrassedly, his heart warmed slightly, thinking of Liang Zhou outside, and finally no longer twitching this time, and shouted one by one after Zhou Shi, smiling and happy New Year.
The old lady looked at him up and down, showing a smile, and took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed his hand: "Good boy, he looks like a good-looking and obedient person. Think of this as your own home, ah."
The old man's hands are rough, but warm. He handed the red envelopes and thanked him well. The two aunts looked at people who were also mild-tempered, and they all wrapped thick red envelopes for him.
After taking the red envelope, Zhou He took Yu Shulin out of the main house.
"Tsk tsk, my aunt and my mom are eccentric, your red envelope is much thicker than mine. What's in grandma's red envelope, it doesn't look like money, open it and take a look." Zhouhe held the game console, a little jealous again Said somewhat curiously.
Yu Shulin took out the red envelope given by the old lady, opened it and poured the contents into the palm of his hand.
"Fuck, it's actually gold bars, this is too big!" Zhouhe stared wide, very angry. The old man never spoiled his grandson. The red envelopes were given according to the average level, never giving too much, but now this Contrast... Eccentric!
The gold bars are not big, and the thickness is not thick, but the holding hands are very heavy, with some runes carved on it, which looks very ancient.
Yu Shulin carefully took a look at it, and touched the rune on it: "What is it at this moment?"
"It's a safe talisman." Liang Zhou walked to his side, took a look at what was in his hand, and explained: "I also have one. Grandma gave it to me on my eighteenth birthday. I didn't expect grandma to prepare it for you. Got this."
"Cousin, you are lazy! Are the Spring Festival couplets finished?" Zhouhe's eyes are red with jealousy, why doesn't he have this golden peace talisman!
"I am a guest, and you are the lord. Shouldn't you do this job? The spring couplets are over, and the window grilles are left for you. Go." Liang Zhou waved his hand like a fly, pulling Yu Shulin towards the courtyard. A hut walked to: "I'll take Shulin to take a rest. Go and help."
Zhou He choked on his rare joking counterattack, stared like a frog for a long time, snorted coldly, and went to the door to continue the firecracker.
The door of the hut is an old carved wooden door, which makes a "creak" when it is pushed open.
The room is large, but the windows are a bit small, and the light is not particularly bright.
Liang Zhou closed the door, turned around to help Yu Shulin take off the scarf, and asked: "Grandma and they are embarrassed. We will go back after lunch. We will spend the New Year with He Bo and the others in the evening. We will not stay here for the night."
Yu Shulin's eyes were bright, and he rubbed the red envelopes and said, "Everyone is fine. Fah, well, my grandma and aunts gave me red envelopes. My cousin is also very kind." He has passed away a long time ago, and his uncle Yu Xiu hasn't visited the house once in a few years. Every Chinese New Year is very deserted. The experience of having so many people having reunion dinner together like the Zhou family has never happened before... This kind of feeling of family reunion, Very good.
Liang Zhou heard that he had changed his mouth to call grandma, and realized that he finally no longer isolates himself from this big family. He curled his lips and touched his head. He smiled and said, "That's good, they are all very good people, after a while Go out with me and say hello to Uncle and the others. They will all be relatives from now on. Don't be too restrained, eh?"
"Okay." Liang Zhou seldom laughed, but today is an exception. Yu Shulin was a little embarrassed by his smile, turned around and pushed the door and walked out: "I'll help the boat and put the window grilles."
Liang Zhou followed with his scarf, with some secret satisfaction in his heart.
Although everyone asked Shulin to address him as they wanted to express their acceptance, it was not like a new wife entering the house to recognize relatives... This was also very good.
When putting the window grilles, Liang Zhou and Yu Shulin met with other relatives of the Zhou family. After harvesting a bunch of red envelopes, everyone finally sat around the big round table in the main room, waiting for the reunion dinner.
The old man Zhou, who had been resting in the house, went out, his expression was serious and he didn't look good to get along with. Liang Zhou brought Yu Shulin to the New Year and got two big red envelopes.
At this point, Yu Shulin finally met all the main relatives of the Zhou family.
After the reunion dinner, Liang Zhou took Yu Shulin to chat with the old lady for a while, and then went to the old man's room to sit for a while before leaving.
On the way back, Yu Shulin was always very excited, looking at the red envelopes over and over again, the safety symbols were touched and touched, very cherished.
Liang Zhou gently raised his eyebrows and asked: "Like it?"
Yu Shulin put the things away carefully and nodded, "I like it." These are all kindnesses from everyone, and they are rare.
"I will bring you back for reunion dinner every year from now on." Liang Zhou promised.
Yu Shulin looked at him sideways and nodded: "Okay." Every year, he likes this word.
