After saying hello to the old man, old lady, parents, Cheng's parents and Cheng's mother, Li Le took everyone off.
Li Xin and Ye Qi didn't go, not because they couldn't go, but because they didn't want to go, and there just wasn't room for a car.
Neither of them is married, and they will be given red envelopes if they go, so they don't plan to go.
In fact, it doesn't matter, as long as Li Le and Li Qiang go.
Li Le and Li Qiang only represent this family, but Li Xin has no way of representing this family. This has nothing to do with patriarchal preference.
If Li Xin gets married and she goes, that's another story. For now, it doesn't matter whether she goes or not.
Today we are going to my aunt's house, which was agreed in advance.
Also, although so many people have gone, they are just one family. Although Li Le and Li Qiang are both married, they have not separated.
But Li Le brought quite a lot of bags, including one box of Chinese Zodiac Moutai, two boxes of Great China, two boxes of Red Bull, two boxes of Deluxe, and two boxes of Three Squirrels.
Li Le drove the car to the door of his sister-in-law's house first because he wanted to go there together.
My sister-in-law also went with the whole family. Except for Ye Qi, everyone went, and there happened to be six people including the children.
It can be said that if there is one more adult, the car will be a little crowded.
"Xiao Le, are you going now?" My sister-in-law came out of the courtyard and asked.
"That's right! The longer we wait, the more people we will get. If we go now, there will be fewer people on the road."
In fact, the Chinese New Year is similar to the peak period in big cities, especially the days when visiting relatives after the Chinese New Year.
If you leave early, there will be fewer cars on the road. If you go out a little later, there will be more cars on the road.
Last year during the Chinese New Year, because I went out late, I was stuck in traffic for more than two hours when passing by the bridge in the north. When I arrived at my aunt's house, it was already past twelve o'clock.
"That's right. Just wait for a few minutes and I'll put the packaging in the car and we'll leave."
"Um!"
"Zhai Ying, Qingcheng and Weiwei, would you like to come down and play?" my sister-in-law asked.
"No need, brother-in-law, I'll come to your house in two days anyway, we'll talk about it then."
"Okay then." The younger brother-in-law nodded.
Then my brother-in-law went to the hospital to pack his bags. This is what happens every year when visiting relatives. Anyway, whoever is younger will suffer the consequences.
For example, at my sister-in-law's house, because she has to visit relatives first, she has to buy all the bags she brings.
After she had finished leaving, others came to her house and had to eat the bags they brought because they had no relatives left to leave.
A few minutes later, my sister-in-law drove out in his Hyundai i35. Sitting in the car were my sister-in-law, Ye Wei and Ye Bin, plus their wives and children.
"Xiao Le, you go in front and I go in front?" my brother-in-law asked after he came out.
"You go ahead!"
"Okay, let's go!"
The road to my aunt's house was not easy, especially since Li Le was driving a Brabus.
The reason for this is not because the road is rough, but because the road is relatively narrow, especially after reaching the north bank of the river, the road becomes even narrower.
However, Li Le arrived at the village where his aunt's family lived more than an hour later.
When Li Le and the others came over, the second aunt and the young master had already arrived.
The second aunt's house is in the city, and the young man is staying in a hotel in the city, and the road from the city is better, so they should arrive first.
But what Li Le doesn't understand is, what's going on with Xiaoye's family this year? Why are you visiting relatives with everyone?
"Come in quickly." The eldest cousin greeted him.
Today, the relatives coming to my aunt's house are not just them, but also my aunt's sister's family.
Because the eldest aunt's family went to Li Le's house yesterday and there was no one at home, so the eldest aunt's sister did not come yesterday and only came today.
"Hey, cousin, are you the chef today?" Li Le asked, seeing his cousin wearing an apron.
In fact, Li Le did it on purpose. There was no need to ask because his cousin cooked every New Year.
The reason for this is that when my eldest cousin was young, he opened a restaurant for several years.
In the next two days, the two brothers Li Le, together with Zhai Ying, Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei, went to the second aunt's and younger aunt's homes respectively.
On the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Le received calls from several uncles asking whether they should go to his uncle's house.
To be honest, Li Le doesn’t know this either because he has never been there.
Every year I come here to visit relatives, and the trip is done in one day. Unexpectedly, this year I went for four days in a row and only returned to the city this afternoon.
Li Le asked the old man first, and the old man just said, "Let's go there this year!"
Li Le told his uncles the same thing and made an appointment to go together the next morning.
It's the last one anyway, so Li Le doesn't care.
But there were not that many people there today. Li Le was still the two brothers with their respective wives.
The eldest aunt's family was replaced by her eldest cousin, and the second aunt's family was replaced by her second cousin.
As for my sister-in-law's house, my brother-in-law did not go either, but was represented by Ye Bin with his wife and children.
But even there are a lot of people like this, because the eldest cousin and the second cousin are not alone, they both have their wives and children.
There is nothing we can do about this, because there are too many people, and my family simply cannot accommodate that many people.
The young man's house is a building. How big is the building? If there are so many people like going to Li Le's house, there probably won't be room to stand.
When he came back from his master's house in the afternoon, Li Le lay down and stayed at home until the fifteenth day of the month, which was the Lantern Festival.
During this period, Cheng Fei brought Chen Ying here once. To be precise, he went back to the imperial capital and turned over here.
After staying here for two days, I went back to the imperial capital with Cheng's parents and Cheng's mother.
Li Xin returned to the Magic City on the seventh day of the lunar month. Because their company opened relatively early, she went there early.
When I was twelve, my eldest brother and sister-in-law also returned to Shenzhen City.
Tomorrow is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and Li Le is going back to the imperial capital. To be honest, this is the longest year that Li Le has stayed at home in so many years.
Early the next morning, Li Le said goodbye to his family and returned to the imperial capital with Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei.
We arrived that night and after being gone for more than half a month, there was a layer of dust in the house.
But there was no time to clean up, because it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the Imperial Capital.
I had no choice but to leave a little late in the morning. I didn't leave home until after eight o'clock.
After not having sex for more than half a month, Li Le turned into a hungry wolf that night and ate up the two little sheep.
Similarly, Li Le woke up late the next morning. He had been busy most of the night. It would be abnormal to get up late.
When Li Le got up, Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei had already gone out. Li Le took a look at the room and tidied it up.
After washing up, Li Le went to the kitchen to take a look. Sure enough, there was food left for him, but he didn't cook it himself, but bought it from outside.
Also, I just came back yesterday and there are no ingredients at home, so I can only buy them from outside!
After breakfast, Li Le glanced at his watch. It was Friday, February 14th.
"Hey, today is Valentine's Day!"
Since it was Valentine's Day, Li Le couldn't stay at home. He had to buy a gift for each of Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei no matter what.
As for what gifts to buy, Li Le was in trouble again. There were already a lot of jewelry at home.
Not to mention the jade jewelry. If you wear one set a day, you probably won’t wear the same one for two months.
After much deliberation, Li Le thought of watches. Although Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei had many watches, they were far inferior to jewelry and jade jewelry.
Li Le opened the door, drove the Bugatti out of the yard.
Years ago or so, Brabus was working hard and could use a break, so he went out in his Bugatti. Patek Philippe's front store is not far from where Li Le lives. Li Le usually comes here to buy watches.
Clerk: “Welcome!”
Li Le: "Let me check my watch."
"plz follow me."
The clerk took Li Le inside. Yes, it was inside, not the counter.
Li Le can be said to be Patek Philippe's top customer and top VIP.
So after he came over, he didn't need to go to the counter at all and was taken directly to the lounge inside.
Someone will deliver the watch to him and let him choose.
No, as soon as a clerk brought him coffee, another clerk came in carrying a wooden tray.
"Mr. Li, this is the most high-end women's watch in the store currently."
Li Le took a look and saw seven watches on the tray.
"Which one is the most expensive?" Li Le asked the clerk directly without looking at it carefully.
"Mr. Li, the most expensive one is this one, 5230P-001, priced at 5.38 million."
To be honest, this price is not low, of course, except for limited editions and customized models.
Generally, there are not many watches sold over the counter, not to mention more than five million, even around two million.
And this one can be sold for 5.38 million, which can be said to be definitely a good watch.
"Does this watch have two pieces?" Li Le asked.
"Mr. Li, there is only one piece in the store, but there is also one in another store. If you want it, I will send someone to get it for you now."
Li Le thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I want it, you can have someone pick it up!"
There is no other way. Apart from this, Li Le really can't think of a watch with a higher price than this.
Of course, this is about what can be obtained today, and this is also Li Le's own fault.
He forgot about this, otherwise he would have customized two models long ago, but customizing is not that easy.
It's not that it can't be customized, but it takes time. Customizing a watch may take one or two years, or even ten or eight years to get it.
"Okay Mr. Li, I will arrange for someone to pick it up right now."
"Um!"
The store manager quickly arranged for a clerk to pick it up.
Li Le was drinking coffee in the VIP room, and there were two beautiful clerks accompanying him here.
More than an hour later, the clerk came back, holding a box in both hands.
Li Le glanced at his watch and said, "You are quite slow. It will take two hours to wait."
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Li. This watch is over at Wukesong. It's a bit far away."
"It's in Wukesong! Then it's okay."
Li Le thought it was somewhere else, but he didn't expect it to be in Wukesong. You should know that Wukesong is not close to here.
Being able to get back within two hours, to be honest, this clerk did his best.
"Wrap it up!" Li Le took out the bank card and handed it to the store manager and said.
"Okay Mr. Li, I will let you... no, I will wrap it up for you myself."
By the time Li Le came out of Patek Philippe with two bags containing watches, more than half an hour had passed.
To be honest, the Patek Philippe store clerk is really annoying at what he does. Fortunately, not many people come here.
If there are many, with this efficiency, it is estimated that they will not be able to receive a few customers a day.
After buying the watch, Li Le drove to the flower shop again. It was Valentine's Day! There can’t be just gifts, and there can’t be too few flowers.
"Welcome!"
Li Le nodded and asked, "What flowers do you have here?"
"Are you giving it to your girlfriend?" the flower shop owner asked.
"No, it's for my wife."
"Uh!" The flower shop owner glanced at Li Le, probably not believing that he was married.
Because Li Le looked too young, she had never seen him get married at such a young age.
"We have roses and lilies here, which one do you like?" asked the landlady.
"What varieties of roses are there?"
You must know that there are many varieties of roses, and of course the prices are also different. It is impossible for him to get two 999 roses, so he can only make a fuss about the price.
"There's the Blue Enchantress, and..."
Before the landlady could finish speaking, Li Le interrupted her and asked, "How much does the Blue Enchantress cost?"
"Sir, today is Valentine's Day, and the blue beauties here are all imported from abroad, so they are relatively expensive."
"How much?"
"How much do you want?"
"Two ninety-nine flowers, wrap them for me."
"Two hundred pieces, free packaging."
"Okay, let's pack it."
Don't say two hundred, even if it's two thousand, would Li Le care? Of course not.
"Okay sir, please wait a moment."
To be honest, ninety-nine pieces is already a lot, and after packaging, it’s also a big bunch!
It’s a pity that he drives a Bugatti. If it were a Brabus, I don’t know if it can hold two 999 flowers. It should be quite powerful.
An hour later, two bunches of blue enchantress were packed, not to mention, they were really quite big.
The main reason is that the packaging is so beautiful. No wonder it is so expensive. I guess the packaging cost is included.
Li Le directly scanned the 40,000 yuan and said, "The extra is the labor cost."
Then Li Le left the flower shop holding a bouquet in one hand. When he got to the car, he put the bouquet directly on the passenger seat.
But there was no place to put the other bunch. Li Le took a look and could only put the other bunch down on the footrest in front of the passenger seat.
After thinking about it, Li Le took out his mobile phone and booked a restaurant, but instead of going to eat, he asked the restaurant to deliver it to his home in the evening.
There's no way he can take his two wives to spend Valentine's Day together! It's okay at home, but outside, the impact is too great.
After making the call, Li Le drove home.
When he got home, it was already noon. To be precise, he had missed lunch.
After driving the car into the courtyard, Li Le came out and ordered two dishes from the small restaurant next to him.
He didn't take it back to eat, but ate it directly in the restaurant.
After eating, he paid and went home. Li Le also planned to decorate the house!
How else to have a romantic Valentine's Day?
After taking the flowers and watch into the house, Li Le drove out again.
He was going to buy some things and then come and decorate them. (End of chapter)
