Chapter 248 Happy New Year’s Eve for Zhusheng and Senior Sister
After lunch, watching Chen Lu take Chen Sijia to get snacks from Grandpa San’s shop opposite, Li Luo sat at the railing of the balcony on the second floor, 45 degrees Jiao looked up at the sky, with an inexplicable sadness on his face.
“Is it this one?”
“Yes, this one.”
“Okay, it’s all ordered.”
Behind the scenes is Li Xiang and Chen Yongqi’s whispers.
“I usually don’t watch this type of movies.” Chen Yongqi said.
"Then what do you usually read?"
"Read light novels, or marriage-changing novels."
"...Then your taste is a bit unique." Li Xiang Sansan smiled and said, "This book is also good. I like all the heroines in it."
"Then which heroine do you like best?" Ying Chanxi suddenly asked from the side.
"Jiang Mingyue." Li Xiang replied subconsciously, "I just like the sister style."
But as soon as Li Xiang finished speaking, he saw Ying Chanxi snort, He walked away a little unhappy and quickly reacted: "Shen Dongdong is not bad!"
"It's not bad, it's none of my business."
Ying Chanxi walked to the balcony Go up, sit down next to Li Luo, reach out and poke his waist: "Don't be unhappy, everyone will know sooner or later anyway, your novel grades are so good, don't you think your uncle praises you?"
The corners of Li Luo's mouth twitched, thinking how could anyone be so comforting as you.
But Li Luo glanced at the living room, and actually asked Chen Yongqi about the specific title of the book. Others, such as aunts, sisters-in-law, and aunts, were basically just curious and would not really go to see him at all. What did you write?
After all, the elders have relatively low academic qualifications and limited reading ability. Even online articles may seem difficult to them.
It is far less convenient and direct than the short videos of later generations.
After confirming this matter, Li Luo felt a little more relieved and not as uncomfortable as before.
But when he thought that Chen Lu and Chen Sijia might also read his novel, Li Luo sighed again.
"By the way, uncle, don't you need to code words today?" Li Xiang came to Li Luo and asked with a cheeky smile, "I think you will update a chapter in the morning and another chapter in the evening. In the afternoon Do you have to type?"
"Don't worry about him." Ying Chanxi chuckled, "He has more than 200,000 words in his manuscript, so it's okay if he doesn't write it this month."
< br>"What the hell?!" Li Xiang was shocked when he heard this, a little unbelievable, "How much? Two hundred thousand words?!"
After saying that, Li Xiang immediately held on tightly. He held Li Luo's arm and said with a shameless smile: "Uncle, can you show me?"
"Get out."
"I'll give you the subscription money in advance!"< br>
"It's a beautiful idea." Li Luo rolled his eyes, thinking that it would be fine if Yan Zhusheng asked him to save the manuscript for reading, but you want it too?
Seeing that Chen Lu and Chen Sijia had come back from the opposite side carrying two large bags of snacks, Li Luo stood up, patted his butt and walked towards the living room, "Please help my mother and the others move out the mahjong table first. ”
……
In the afternoon, the living room on the second floor of Li's house was very lively.
My grandparents went downstairs to take a nap.
Li Guoru and a group of grown men, including Li Dao, made an appointment to play billiards at the billiard table at Li Guoru's house next door, and smoke and chat by the way.
Lin Xiuhong, aunt, eldest aunt Li Xuexian, and second aunt Li Xuefeng gathered around the mahjong table and started playing mahjong.
Sister-in-law and sister-in-law Li Xuemei sat and watched, cutting some fruit for the people in the living room.
Li Luo and Ying Chanxi, as well as Chen Yongqi, Chen Lu, Chen Sijia and Li Xiang, sat on the sofa around the coffee table and started playing poker.
When it was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, my sister-in-law saw that it was almost time, so she called Chen Sijia and went back to her grandfather's house to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner there.
My sister-in-law cut some more fruit and sent it to the pool table next door.
At this moment, Lin Xiuhong felt a little stomachache, and quickly stood up and said to Ying Chanxi next to her: "Xixi, I have to go to the toilet, help my aunt for a while."
"Oh, here I come." Ying Chanxi responded. She had finished playing her cards and was about to get up.
As a result, Li Luo next to him threw the last card in his hand into the deck, got up and ran to the seat vacated by Lin Xiuhong to sit down: "Mom, why didn't you come to me when you had something to do? I'm your biological son. "
"Come on!" When Lin Xiuhong saw Li Luo coming, she immediately came back and slapped him on the head, "I don't know how lucky you are, so give up your seat right away? Xixi! Otherwise, it will be yours if you lose."
On the other side, Chen Lu shouted dissatisfiedly: "You haven't finished the fight yet!"
< br>"I only have one card, and I can leave at any time." Li Luo occupied the mahjong table and refused to leave, shouting towards the sofa, "It won't affect you if you just leave."
Chen Lu Upon hearing this, it seemed to make sense, and then he watched Chen Yongqi turn over the card that Li Luo had thrown into the deck, and suddenly scolded with a black face: "You little bastard, you have the nerve to say no?"
Li Luochun didn't hear anything. After sitting on his mother's seat, he crossed his legs, leaned against the back of the chair and held the mahjong tiles with one hand, and asked with a smile: "Who touched the tiles?"
"It's your turn." The aunt from the previous family said.
"Oh, let me bring up a whiteboard for my mother." Li Luo stretched out his hand and touched it, then curled his lips and slapped it on the table. It was an east wind.
Ying Chanxi sat aside and watched him play cards, occasionally giving him a piece of fruit to eat.
In a game like Mahjong, for ordinary players, three points depends on counting cards and seven points depends on luck.
Li Luo is invincible in memorizing cards, but there is nothing he can do if he can't find the cards he wants.
After touching this card several times, I was surprised to find only one usable card.
Fortunately, Lin Xiuhong’s deck of cards was good. After playing for more than ten rounds, he finally got a drawing card for him.
At this time, Lin Xiuhong came back from using the toilet, looked at the cards in Li Luo's hand, and nodded reluctantly: "It's not bad, at least I can touch it myself."
That's what he said, But after several laps, Li Luo didn't get the last card. Lin Xiuhong looked a little impatient: "Get out of the way, I'll do it."
"No, wait for me like this." The cards are over.”
“You have to touch it at any time, and everyone will go crazy.”
“Look at my card, it must be...” Li Luo snaps. She slapped the cards on the table and saw another Dongfeng card, "Damn!"
"I told you you can't do it." Lin Xiuhong pouted, "You might as well let Xixi draw one for you."
"She can touch it when she comes? I don't believe it." It was Li Luo's turn to touch the cards again. Li Luo raised his chin towards Ying Chanxi and motioned for her to come, "If Xixi can't touch it, the next one will be the same. I’ll fight.”
Just as he said this, Ying Chanxi put the cards he drew on the table and whispered: "Ten thousand, I drew it myself."
Li Luo: "..."
"Xixi is still reliable." Lin Xiuhong laughed, then patted Li Luo on the shoulder and said with disdain, "Okay, okay, go play your poker."
"Xiao Zha San will be back soon. ." Chen Lu joked on the sofa, "I gave you a break just now, and come back to the bottom, otherwise there will be no one left."
"How about we change the game?" Li Luo and Ying Chanxi walked back to the sofa and sat down, and couldn't help but suggest.
“What’s the way to play?”
“It’s very simple. Cover all the cards and put them on the coffee table. Scatter them all.” Li Luo said, “Then everyone turns over the cards each time. If the two cards are a pair, you can take them away. If they are not, you have to put them back. "
"Everyone can see these two cards, and if they are not a pair every time, they can be seen. "Whoever has the most pairs in the end wins, and whoever has the fewest cards loses."
"It's interesting. ." Chen Lu nodded and was about to agree.
Ying Chanxi on the side said quickly: "Don't play like this, he can win casually." "Ah?" Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it hard to say? Is Li Luo very good at this?"
“His memory is better than mine.” Ying Chanxi said, “On the first day of school, he memorized all the names of his classmates. Do you think he is good or not?”
"Ying Chanxi, don't tear me down." Li Luo was anxious, "I can secretly guide you when we play. Why don't we win together? It's a win-win situation!"
Ying Chanxi pursed her lips and suppressed a smile: "I just want to see you lose."
...
The happy time of the afternoon passed quickly.
At around five o'clock, Chen Hailin came back from the pool table next door and went into the kitchen to start cooking New Year's Eve dinner.
Because everyone in the family likes to watch the Spring Festival Gala while having New Year’s Eve dinner to capture the atmosphere, so Li Luo’s family had New Year’s Eve dinner very late.
The preparations started at around five o'clock, and it was not until nearly eight o'clock in the evening that Chen Hailin finished two tables full of sumptuous dishes.
Lin Xiuhong and others also came into the kitchen to help during the process. When the Spring Festival Gala started at eight o'clock on time, Li Luo's family, except Li Xuemei and Chen Sijia, was not there, and the rest of the family totaled 15 people.
In addition to the Yingchanxi family of three who came next door to have New Year’s Eve dinner together, there were a total of 18 people, sitting at two tables, watching the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast and starting to eat New Year’s Eve dinner.
The sound of fireworks began to be set off from time to time outside, bang bang bang, crackling non-stop.
Li Luo was eating chicken legs in his mouth, and in the bowl was the turtle meat that Ying Chanxi had given him. In his ears was the noise of the family and the cordial live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala on TV.
Everything feels like a lifetime ago.
He thought about his rebirth and return in June, and now more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
This is the first time he has returned to the countryside to celebrate the New Year after his rebirth. Everything is so familiar, but also a little strange. In the end, it becomes familiar and blends with the memories of his previous life.
“What are you thinking about?” Ying Chanxi raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, “Are you crying?”
“No, I think I ate chili pepper. "Li Luo blinked and suppressed the excitement in his eyes, "By the way, do you have the things I asked you to prepare just now?"
"Yes," Ying Chanxi said from his pocket. He took out a red envelope and said, "But what are you doing?"
"Give it to Li Xiang for me." Li Luo pursed his lips and said to Ying Chanxi.
"You really gave it?" Ying Chanxi was surprised, and then he smiled relievedly when he thought of Li Luo's 370,000 royalties. Then he stood up with a smile, walked to Li Xiang's side, and held his hand He handed over the red envelope in it, "Take it, the New Year's red envelope your uncle gave you."
"Huh?" Li Xiang was obviously stunned for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, "No... really Give it?”
He felt a little embarrassed about this.
"Just take it if it's given to you." Li Luo said lightly, "But don't think about saving the manuscript."
Looking at Li Luo, this kid was given red envelopes, and the others They all took out red envelopes from their pockets.
But this year, apart from Li Luo, Ying Chanxi and Li Xiang, Chen Sijia, who is not here, is still in college.
Both Chen Yongqi and Chen Lu have graduated and are working, so naturally there is no red envelope.
However, considering that Chen Lu had just found a job only two months ago, Lin Xiuhong and the others worked together in private and gave a small one, which made Chen Lu smile happily after receiving the red envelope.
However, she also prepared red envelopes for her younger brothers and sisters. Although her current salary is not high, each of them only received 100 yuan, but it was still a thoughtful gesture.
Especially when he sent them red envelopes, Chen Lu was filled with emotion, and suddenly realized something.
I have really grown up, completely leaving school and entering society.
Even when she was sitting at the bank counter and working, she was a little unresponsive, but now she suddenly fell into a trance and truly realized this matter.
Time really flies by.
And just when Li Luo was feeling weak after receiving the red envelope, the phone in his pocket vibrated several times.
Taking it out, I found it was from Yan Zhusheng.
【Yan Zhusheng】: Happy New Year’s Eve.
[Yan Zhusheng]: (Picture)
[Yan Zhusheng]: Mom cooked the food herself, but it was not as delicious as yours.
[Yan Zhusheng]: You are not allowed to tell my mother.
[Li Luo]: Are it just the two of you during the Chinese New Year?
[Yan Zhusheng]: Well, what about you?
[Li Luo]: (picture)
[Li Luo]: This is our table, and there is a table with my dad and others drinking next to it.
[Yan Zhusheng]: There are so many people (exclamation.jpg)
[Yan Zhusheng]: I feel so happy.
[Li Luo]: You will know when you come here on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
[Yan Zhusheng]: Well... can you come here in the third grade of junior high school? The wait for the fourth grade of junior high school seems a bit long.
[Li Luo]: I can do everything here. Except for going to my grandparents’ house in the second grade of junior high school, it can be done in the next few days. You can ask the senior sister about the arrangements.
[Yan Zhusheng]: Oh, I’ll ask later.
[Yan Zhusheng]: Happy New Year’s Eve, you haven’t said it yet.
[Li Luo]: Happy New Year’s Eve.
[Li Luo]: You really care about everything.
[Yan Zhusheng]: It's obviously a basic courtesy, but it's Li Luo who's the one who's bad.
[Li Luo]: I’m so bad, but you still want to come earlier?
[Yan Zhusheng]: I went to play with Xixi, not you.
[Li Luo]: That’s really sad.
"What are you looking at?" Ying Chanxi, who was standing by, saw that he had been looking at his mobile phone and asked curiously.
"Reply to the message, many people have sent me New Year greetings, I have to reply." Li Luo put the phone back in his pocket, looked up and saw that his bowl was already filled with food, and he suddenly had a look on his face. Speechless, "Don't just pick up vegetables for me, I can't finish them."
"Eat more, these shrimps are delicious too." Ying Chanxi picked him another one, "Everyone Who wishes you a happy new year? ”
"There are many, classmates from school, editors, and fellow authors."
"Where are the bamboo fungus and senior sister?"
"The bamboo fungus has been distributed, senior sister..."
As Li Luo said this, his phone vibrated.
Taking it out and looking at it, I found that it was a call from Xu Youyu.
The moment he got through, he immediately said, "Happy New Year's Eve, senior! Xixi, you also say hello to senior."
Xu Youyu on the other end of the phone was stunned. For a moment, "brother" who was about to say something was immediately held back.
"Senior sister, happy New Year's Eve." Ying Chanxi said sweetly on the other end.
Xu Youyu suddenly laughed, and then said: "Happy New Year's Eve, Xixi, let's meet on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year~"
"Huh? What fourth day of the Lunar New Year?" Ying Chanxi asked in confusion, "Senior sister, we won't go back until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Huh?" Xu Youyu asked in confusion, "Didn't Li Luo tell you?"
"Oh? What did you say?" Ying Chanxi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at Li Luo standing aside dangerously. .
