Chapter 113: New Year's Day
Zhao Yiming and Li Changfu chatted about the villagers, who stole chickens and when, who touched dogs and when, who should not be befriended, and who could be taken along.
This meal also allowed Zhao Yun to understand the human nature in the countryside from the mouths of Li Changfu and Zhao Yiming.
Human nature is good when you are useful to others.
Human nature is selfish when you are of no use to others.
Human nature is evil when you hinder others from making money.
Human nature is loyal when you can help others make money.
When you have the ability but don't help others, human nature is that you are not worthy of being a human being!
All troubles come from yourself. Only when you are strong, with interests in one hand and a big stick in the other, can you feel the sincerity and beauty of this world!
Only by allowing some people to get along well and gaining control of the right to speak in rural areas can the truth be realized.
Zhao Yiming later talked to Li Changfu about approving a piece of land to build a house, which would be used for breeding in the future.
Li Changfu said that after the 15th and other days when the Land Bureau opened, he would go to help with this matter. Zhao Yun's household registration is single, so it would be no problem to approve a single piece of land.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Changfu staggered home holding on to the wall.
Today is New Year's Eve. According to the custom in the village, the whole family has to stay up all night. They can only go to bed after midnight, after setting off firecrackers and eating dumplings.
In the evening, Zhao Yun returned to his room and called Liu Yifei who was on the other side of the ocean.
After experiencing the beauty of Liu Yifei, Zhao Yun seems to have gotten addicted to it. When he is free, Liu Yifei's thick arms and legs always appear in his mind. Zhao Yun had sex before her, but after being with her, he realized that sex can be so comfortable and nostalgic, and that sex is so beautiful.
Looking at the person on the phone, Zhao Yun had an urge to fly to the other side of the ocean immediately.
After I hung up the phone, Zhang Manman also called me. Zhang Manman always had endless topics to talk about. She kept chattering.
At 00:00 in the morning, Zhao Yiming looked at the time. The moment the time came, he immediately lit the firecrackers. The firecrackers soared into the sky.
Zhao Yun also took out the fireworks and lit them, watching the fireworks explode in the air to create beautiful patterns, like iron trees and silver flowers, which was very beautiful. This year, the sound of Zhao Yun's fireworks and the beauty of the fireworks were definitely the best in the village. Many people looked in the direction of Zhao Yun's house with envy.
Mother Wei Shuhong also put the dumplings into the pot. There were not many dumplings in total, but it was just for the sake of meaning, after all, everyone had eaten a lot in the evening, and it was just for good luck. After eating the dumplings, Zhao Yun took the fireworks, double-kick firecrackers, firecrackers, candles and incense and went to the small temple.
This is what Zhao Yun does every year, he sends candles and incense to the Buddha every year. After Zhao Yun came back to life, he attached more importance to this matter, and this year he could not let it go, and it was more grand than before.
After climbing up the mountain, the small temple was brightly lit, the temple door was open, and a few young people were kowtowing and praying in the temple in groups of three or four. I don't know where the old Taoist priest went!
Zhao Yun first lit the candles, then took the incense and kowtowed three times and nine times to pray. After doing all this devoutly, Zhao Yun lit all the firecrackers he brought. In an instant, the small temple became the most prosperous place in the village, with the loudest sound of firecrackers.
After watching the firecrackers burn out, Zhao Yun came to the cypress tree on the edge of the cliff. He bowed deeply to the cypress tree that had existed for an unknown period of time, broke off a branch of cypress leaves, and went down the mountain.
After returning home, he inserted the cypress branches into the water bottle he had prepared long ago, burned incense and prayed, then went back to his room to sleep.
After daybreak, Zhao Yun lay in bed and called everyone he knew to wish them a happy new year. First, he called Li Chunxiao and his wife, then Da Qiangzi, Liu Jinhui, and Liu Xiangdong, all the teachers and secretaries of Yandu University, then the CEOs of Dior, Versace, and Anta, and finally the CEOs of Great Wall and Hua Wei.
Of course, Zhao Yun also called each of the women he had relationships with to send his blessings. While talking to Liu Jinhui, he also had a few casual words with Liu Qin.
The food was ready, but Wei Shuhong didn't rush Zhao Yun as she watched him make phone calls one after another. Zhao Yun finished his calls at 8 o'clock.
Zhao Yun quickly got up and washed up. When he arrived at the dining table, he bowed to his parents and said, "Happy New Year, Mom and Dad! I wish you both good health and good luck!"
"Well! Alright, sit down and eat!"
Then, while the family was still eating, Li Changfu's child ran in.
"Brother Zhao Yun!"
"Oh!" Zhao Yun went out with the bowl, lifted the door curtain, and let the five-year-old Li Zhiqiang in.
"Zhiqiang, have you eaten?" Zhao Yiming asked the fat, snotty kid who had just walked in.
"I've eaten. Happy New Year, uncle and aunt!" After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed hard.
Wei Shuhong quickly got up and took out a brand new fifty-yuan bill from under the mattress on the kang and gave it to him.
"Zhiqiang, your uncle and aunt bought you some candy and firecrackers, take them!"
"No, my parents said that now that I'm grown up, I can't ask for red envelopes when I go out." Li Zhiqiang waved his hand and sat down against the wall.
He still refused this, and Zhao Yun was amused by his expression.
"This is not New Year's money, this is money to buy you candy!" Wei Shuhong stuffed the money into Li Zhiqiang's pocket.
Li Zhiqiang was watching TV when he suddenly remembered something. He stood up and pulled Zhao Yun's arm, "Brother Zhao Yun, here are my delicious foods!"
Zhao Yun quickly finished the dumplings in the bowl and wiped his mouth.
"I'll get it for you!" Zhao Yun went to the room where things were kept and picked out some candies and fruits for the children.
"Here! Take it and eat it!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhao Yun!" The fat boy took the food from Zhao Yun and stuffed his pockets full.
"Zhi Qiang! Have you been to your grandfather's house and your uncle's house?" Zhao Yiming asked him, fearing that he might not have any place to pay New Year's greetings, which would make the elders find fault with him.
"I've been there!" Li Zhiqiang muttered with his mouth full of food.
Everyone in the village got up early today. If Zhao Yun hadn't received so many phone calls, he would have cleaned up his house by 7 o'clock. This was because he didn't have many relatives here. If he had relatives, Zhao Yiming would have been furious.
"Hurry up and call your grandpa and uncle. It's a little late!" Zhao Yiming urged Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly took out his cell phone and called his grandparents and uncle one by one.
Grandpa watched the video that Zhao Yun called and kept smiling with his toothless mouth.
"Grandpa! Happy New Year! I'll be there tomorrow. Get your lucky money ready!"
"Okay! Okay! Come on, I'm ready!"
"Grandpa, do you want to drink? I'll get you something good!"
"There's nothing wrong with me drinking! As long as I can drink, it's fine! Take whatever you want!"
"Okay! I'll get you something you haven't tried tomorrow!"
