As the New Year approached, Han Xun was alone in country Z, and his family members were particularly worried, so they called him several times a day to urge him to go back to country M. He has just arrived in country Z, and he has no clue about the person he is looking for, so he is not willing to go back. He was an old man, spoiled by his brothers and sisters who were many years older than him, and because he was tortured by a "strange disease" all the year round, his family let him go, and there was nothing they could do about him.
So he had to make a compromise and let him go to Chen's house for the New Year.
The Han family and the Chen family have had a close friendship since their ancestors. Before the current situation was turbulent, they were the number one big family in country Z, and they were relatives by marriage for generations. During the turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the direct descendants of the Han family traveled across the ocean and moved their family to country M at all costs. After hundreds of years of painstaking efforts by several generations, they finally became one of the well-known wealthy families in country M. Only circulated in the real upper class. The Chen family stayed in Country Z, and they had good luck when standing in the team. After liberation, both the military and the government had their children in high positions. However, after a long period of ten years of turmoil, only Chen Junxi and his family survived successfully in the Chen family. After more than ten years of business operation, coupled with the fact that Mr. Chen can barely be regarded as the founding father of the country, Chen Junxi can now be regarded as a prince in the capital.
The Han family left country Z for a long time. After the long period of turmoil, no one has returned to the country. There are not many relatives and friends who still have contacts in the country. As family friends with in-laws, the Chen family can barely be counted as one.
Out of various considerations, the Han family asked the Chen family to take good care of Han Xun and asked him to celebrate the New Year with them at the Chen family.
Han Xun didn't reject the family arrangement at first, but for some reason, when he saw Chen Junxi, the prince of the Chen family, an evil fire arose in his heart for no reason, and every cell in his body clamored to beat up the person in front of him. a meal.
Han Xun is only 18 years old now. Although he was spoiled by his family, how could a child from a famous family have no scheming. In the blink of an eye, the gloom in his eyes disappeared completely, and he shook hands with Chen Junxi in a 'friendly' way.
"Han Xun, there is no place in the capital that I am not familiar with. Wherever you want to go, feel free to ask me to accompany you at any time." Chen Junxi has a good impression of the well-bred Han Xun.
Because of the strange feeling in his heart, Han Xun was quite indifferent to Chen Junxi: "Well, good."
"Let's go in, my mother and father have been waiting for you." Chen Junxi took Han Xun's indifference as arrogance and didn't take it seriously.
"good."
For some reason, when he saw Chen's father and Chen's mother, the inexplicable anger in Han Xun's heart became stronger, especially when he saw Chen's mother's attentive smiling face, he felt extremely hypocritical and felt very uncomfortable.
Han Xun presented the jade ornaments and gem ornaments he bought, and said politely: "Uncle Chen, Aunt Tian, a little care is not a respect."
Tian Qingyu was originally in her early forties, and she was well maintained. In addition, she was good-looking and had an outstanding temperament. She looked like a young woman in her thirties, and her smile was very gentle and amiable.
"Xiao Xun, we are very happy that you can come to see your uncle and aunt. What gifts do you bring? Really. Come, come and sit." Tian Qingyu said with rare enthusiasm, and even the always serious Father Chen laughed full of meaning.
Han Xun suppressed the weird disgust in his heart, sat beside him with a cold face, and exchanged warm greetings for more than an hour.
Originally, according to his family's request, he would temporarily live in Chen's house, but now he couldn't stay any longer, and declined the kindness of Chen's family to stay. After a symbolic dinner, Han Xun left Chen's house and returned to the place where he lived before. hotel.
"Anthony, help me buy a three-bedroom apartment near Qingda University."
"There is no requirement, I just hope that I can move in as soon as possible."
"It's up to you."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Han Xun received an overseas call from his elder brother: "Xiao Xun, didn't you agree to live in Chen's house for a while? Why did you move out?"
Han Xun drank his red wine, put down his glass, and said nonchalantly, "I don't like their family, they are too hypocritical and artificial."
Brother Han knew that his younger brother was used to being self-willed, and no one could make him change the decision, so he had to persuade him gently: "Then why don't you come back and celebrate the New Year with us, everyone is very worried about you being outside alone. you."
Han Xun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the law and order in the imperial capital is very good. Really, don't worry about me. I have a good life here. By the way, have you received the gift I sent back to you?"
"Received, everyone likes it very much."
"Then, has the admission procedure of Qingda University been completed for me?"
"It's already done, don't change the subject, we all hope that you can come back for the New Year, parents are getting old..."
"Okay, okay, let me think about it."
"Whoever made you think about it must come back."
"Let's talk about it then. I'm sleepy. I'll go to bed first. I'll talk about it tomorrow when I have time." After finishing speaking, Han Xun came to his senses without taking his elder brother, and pressed the phone with a snap.
He drank the remaining red wine in the glass, washed up briefly, and lay quietly on the bed. In the darkness, for some reason, he remembered the strong fluctuation in his heart that day when he was in Jincheng.
Maybe the person he is looking for is really in Jincheng.
However, shouldn't the place where they met be G province three years later
While thinking, Han Xun gradually fell into a vague dream.
"Han Xun, what exactly do you want?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want you not to pester Junxi."
"It's none of your business between me and Junxi!"
"He is my friend, and I have taken care of his affairs. I advise you to leave him as soon as possible. The Chen family is not something you can afford to provoke."
"Even if I can't afford to offend you, that's my business, it's none of your business."
"...Don't be ignorant of good and evil." He already has someone outside, is he worthy of your protection
In the vague dream, the fierce quarrel, Han Xun, as a bystander, seems to be able to experience the suppressed anger, distorted reveries, and the depression that cannot be loved by the adult self in the dream.
A harsh horn sound woke up Han Xun. He woke up dripping with cold sweat. It seemed that the man's slightly hot body temperature and strong fear remained in his arms.
"... ink ink..."
Han Xun blurted out, feeling a sudden pain in his heart.
Lin Mo suddenly woke up from his dream, he looked outside, it was still early, he wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep again. When I woke up in the morning, I couldn't remember what I dreamed about last night, but I felt a faint sense of loss in my heart.
This feeling didn't last long, and someone knocked on the courtyard door.
He opened the door, saw that he was an acquaintance, and said with a smile: "Morning Zhao, come in and have a seat."
Old Zhao grinned, showing his smoke-blackened teeth, the fat on his cheeks trembled slightly, and waved his hand: "No, no. Xiaomo, the pig you asked me to ask for you has already asked you. The daily price is a bit expensive, and the hairy pig has already risen to six yuan, but I guarantee that all of them are big fat pigs of about two hundred catties, which fully meet your requirements."
Lao Zhao is the only pig dealer in Qingtong Village, and he also kills pigs during the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year is less than ten days away now, and people in the countryside who want to kill pigs for the New Year have already done it, and he was idle half a month ago. Unexpectedly, Lin Mo would ask him to help him buy five or six fat pigs, saying that they were killed and made into sausages and bacon and sold on the street. Originally, he didn't believe Lin Mo's words, but he didn't want Lin Mo to give him five pigs on the spot. A deposit of one hundred dollars.
Seeing that Lin Mo was determined, he asked more than a dozen pig farmers for him overnight, and found six big fat pigs for him according to his request.
Lin Mo didn't expect him to ask so soon, and immediately said happily: "Six yuan is six yuan, but, Uncle Zhao, can these six pigs be killed for me within today?"
Butchering pigs is a physical labor. Lao Zhao has been a pig butcher all his life, so he still has this ability. , with your brother Biao helping me, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Okay, Uncle Zhao, wait for me, I'll go get the money right away, and we'll go buy pigs now." The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Lin Mo has to sell all these pork sausages before the end of the year. It is urgent.
"Okay, you go."
For the sale of bacon and sausages, Lin Mo had already agreed to his father and grandma early in the morning. When he came back this time, Lin Jian gave him 10,000 yuan, which was basically enough.
At that time, the pigs in the countryside were all free-range, and the sows raised as many piglets as they gave birth to. There was no scale, and basically no feed was used. It took more than half a year to raise a pig. However, for the rural people at this moment, there are very few income sources, and pig raising is the main income of the family. After a busy year, it is possible to save a few "big money" from selling pigs, which is highly valued by everyone.
Lin Mo bought six fat pigs in one go, which immediately became big news in the village. It coincided with the slack season, and many people in the village came to watch the excitement.
Prosperous pig blood is a good thing, but the blood prosperity of the six pigs is really too much, so Lin Mo simply asked a few families who are usually related and have a good relationship to pick them up. They reciprocated, and everyone spontaneously helped Lin Mo transport all the pork from the six pigs back home, and also lent him a lot of big pots.
Back home, everyone helped to dry the cut pork piece by piece on the plastic film.
According to Lin Mo's request, Lao Zhao cut the meat into pieces of about three catties as much as possible. For this, Lin Mo paid him double the manual fee.
After finishing these things, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Lin Mo left eight enthusiastic uncles and aunts for dinner.
Knowing that Lin Mo was going to kill a pig, the old lady rushed back from the hospital today, so the old lady prepared the dinner. There are twice-cooked pork, stir-fried liver and waist, braised pork, stewed snow peas with pig skin, Maoxuewang, bean curd, boiled winter melon, and crispy peanuts. There are not many samples, and the portions are full. The old lady's craftsmanship is not as good as Lin Mo's professional chef level, but it is not bad. After a meal, everyone's mouths are dripping with oil, and they are very satisfied.
After the meal, Lin Mo thanked everyone: "Thank you so much, uncles and aunts today."
Everyone laughed and said, "It's right to do a little favor, so thank you, your father usually helps us a lot."
Lin Mo said with a smile: "I still want to ask everyone for a favor, but the help is not in vain, I will pay your wages."
Everyone knew in their hearts what Lin Mo wanted them to do, so they hurriedly declined: "It's all from relatives, who made some bacon and sausage for you, how can I charge you? Just take care of the food."
Lin Mo shook his head: "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but it's hard work, so I'm embarrassed to let everyone do it for nothing. So, from tomorrow on, if you come and help me, I'll pay you thirty yuan a day, how about it?"
Now I am doing odd jobs on the construction site, and the few are only ten or twenty, and I need some skills to get thirty yuan a day. After hearing the remuneration given by Lin Mo, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other: "This is too much. Have more."
At this time, the old lady said: "Not much, just show your kindness to everyone who came to help us today, and the salary is nothing! It will be Chinese New Year in a few days, as long as everyone is willing to help us get the goods before the end of the year. Get out, and I can’t thank you enough.”
What do you guys think when you hear what the old lady said, the New Year is coming soon, who wouldn't want to earn two extra money a year ago, and use it during the New Year? Immediately, everyone agreed that they would definitely help Lin Mo drive out the goods before the year.
