Chapter 233 Provincial New Year's Eve

Chapter 233 provincial new year's eve

It was already seven o' clock in the evening when they got home. Liu Fen had already prepared the food. As soon as they entered the house, they immediately brought hot tea and asked them to go to the fire to cool off the cold. There was no way. There was no heating in the south. There was an air conditioner in the living room, but it was still not as warm as the fire.

After warming up, Li Haitang went to check around the house. It was also a large apartment with more than 160 square meters. It had four rooms and one living room. The living room was very big and half of it was used as a restaurant. The decoration of the house is not bad, the furniture is more regular, it is the style that the older generation likes.

There was no holiday in the shop, and the next day was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. She, the big boss, invited them to have a dinner party at the big restaurant and personally handed out big red packets to everyone. As for the new year's celebration, Li Jianping had already sent it out.

The staff of the three stores will be close to 100 people, just 12 tables. Li Haitang will replace wine with tea, each table toasted, and gave everyone a new year's greetings in advance.

After dinner, they also arranged for some entertainment activities, watching movies and singing in the singing hall. The older ones all chose to watch the movie. Li Haitang asked Li Jianping to drive them to the cinema with a few drivers. The younger ones all had to sing and she took them to the new big concert hall.

Li Rong and Li Yongchun also had a holiday at the factory, and still came to her side to hitchhike back to their hometown for the new year, so they went to sing together tonight.

Li Yongchun was introduced to a girl named liu huijuan, who was very gentle and small. His hometown is also Shaoxian, he went to secondary school, and now he teaches in a primary school in the provincial city. He has a good character and his family is in a good condition. Li Yuanlin and his wife are very satisfied, and they are engaged. They will get married in may next year.

Today, Li Yongchun also brought liu huijuan over to play. After her school holiday, she also brought a few students to tutor alone, so she didn't go home yet, and planned to return to Shaoxian with them tomorrow.

Li Haitang opened two private rooms and let everyone go to sing. She bought some food for everyone at the snack stand next door and put it on the table. She walked to Li Rong and sat down. She smiled and said, "Brother Rongzi, Li Yongchun is getting married. When will you bring a sister-in-law back?"

"No hurry, no hurry. I'll play for another year or two." Li Rong finished his cigarette in two or three sips and put it out in the trash can. His parents had urged him many times, and his sister-in-law had urged him, but he didn't want to, and he didn't meet the right one. Just wait.

"Another year or two will do. You're only 23 anyway." She's just past the legal age for marriage, so it's okay to be late.

"What about you? Do you have a partner at school?" Li Rong began to gossip.

Li Haitang shook his head decisively, "No, I'm still very early. I'll discuss this in at least three years."

"That's right. If you want to study abroad, there's no need to date now. Who knows what will happen in the future?" Li Rong thought that Xiaonizi would not be able to get into her eyes in the future. It would be better to stay with her after her job is stable.

"Is the work in the factory going well?" They have been working for more than two years, and the steel mill is a relatively good enterprise in the provincial capital, so there should be no problems in the past ten years.

Li Rong smiled and said, "It's okay, but I don't like this nine-to-five work model and want to work alone, but my parents don't agree, and the other one isn't enough money, so I just keep working for the time being."

"Hehe, if you want to do it yourself, talk to aunt Uncle. Uncle Zhu had been working in the provincial capital all these years, so he naturally had a broader vision and could make sense of it. There's no need to worry about money. I have money. I can lend it to you." Li Haitang had received a lot of favors from his family when he was young, and he was willing to help him now.

Li Rong had a bright smile on his face and said with a smile, "Okay, don't say thank you. I'll borrow some money from you when I have a talk with my family."

"Yes." Li Haitang picked up the teacup and touched it with him.

One or twenty young people were holding microphones and singing at the top of their throats. The people in both rooms were very happy and did not finish until after 10 pm.

On the morning of december 27th, Li Jiangang and Li Jianhua drove two cars back to Shaoxian with dozens of employees.

This year, the wang family did not return home for the new year. They were in the same neighborhood, same building, same floor, bought a house, and continued to be neighbors. Wang Yao brought the wang family and his son to the provincial capital, found some connections, paid a sum of money to build the school, and let his son study in the provincial capital primary school.

Wang Li and Wang Tiao were already on vacation, and the two of them spent the morning at the li family, talking to everyone about all kinds of interesting things in college, and didn't go back until lunch.

On the morning of the 28th lunar month, the two families went to the nearby market to buy new year's items. Couplets, window decorations, lanterns, firecrackers, fireworks, etc.

Li Tao and Duan Jinqiao were arguing about eating lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken this year. Li Haitang bought a lot of glutinous rice and various ingredients. When they got home from shopping, the two families gathered together to wrap up this fresh and delicious thing.

This lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken was very popular. Everyone didn't cook lunch, so they ate it directly. There were too many people, so they steamed two big cages to feed everyone.

"Oh, no, no, I'm going to be overweight again." Wang Li touched her bulging belly. Her standard figure exploded at the new year, and it would take her a month or two to recover after the new year, so she hated people like Li Haitang who didn't eat fat at all.

Duan Meifang also smiled, "I'm not eating either, or I won't be able to wear the clothes I bought yesterday."

Wang Yao looked at the two of them with amusement. When they met delicious food, they ate faster than anyone else. After eating, it was them who said they wanted to lose weight.

Li Haitang ate two bowls of rice, which was equivalent to two bowls of rice. He brought half a basin of water to wash everyone's hands and suggested, "Wang Li, since you're full, come out with me later."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to xia lin's house, then to my high school homeroom teacher's house, and send them some lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken." Li Haitang bought many new year's gifts this morning and planned to deliver them today.

"Okay."

After resting at home for an hour or so, after the lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken in the pot was cooked, it was packed with two big bags, some specialties brought back from the capital, and some necessities such as fish and meat for the new year went out.

On december 29th, Li Jianping drove a big truck to tan city to bring the Liu family old couple and other brothers and sisters to the provincial capital for the new year. There were many nieces and nephews in Mrs. Liu Fen's family. There were about fifteen or sixteen adults and children. As soon as they entered the house, the spacious hall was filled with people.

Although her father and aunt fen had formed a new family for more than four years, she had only met two old Liu family people and no one else at the Liu family. Under Duan Jinqiao's introduction, she also called for a circle of uncles and uncles and uncles.

She followed Duan Jinqiao's name and shouted. The Liu family people were very happy. The elders even gave her a greeting gift, and Li Haitang accepted it with a smile.

The sister-in-law and sisters were naturally envious of their little sister's good life, but they were not jealous. Liu Fen was very good at dealing with family relations and was very generous to her family. She would send some things back to everyone during the new year's festival. She would buy the children's clothes and shoes often. When their family was in trouble, she would take the initiative to help them.

When they first moved, the Liu family sent a representative to each house to drink, but the children had never come. Now, when they entered the new house, everyone rushed into each house to visit.

Li Haitang asked aunt fen to accompany her family. She went to the kitchen to cook. Anyway, the dishes that needed to be cooked had already been washed and cut. They just needed to be cooked. She could handle it.

"Fen, you're a good stepdaughter." Looking at Li Haitang, who was busy in the kitchen, Mrs. Liu Fen said with a smile.

Second sister-in-law answered, "It's very good. This child is taking care of you so well that he will be even more fortunate in the future."

Liu Fen accepted all the compliments from her sister-in-law. She hadn't raised her for a day, but she treated herself well. She was really satisfied.

At exactly twelve o' clock, Li Haitang opened the kitchen door and shouted out, "Jin qiao, clear the table and eat."

"Okay." Duan Jinqiao, who was showing the photo album to his cousin, immediately got up.

There were so many people that two big tables were opened. Li Jianping sat at a table with old yuezhang and his three uncles and uncles to drink. Li Haitang led the other children to a big table.

This year was especially lively, and there were many people in the family, so naturally, they would not be lonely. The children of the Liu family are all big children, not ignorant children. They gather together to play some games, but not run around the house.

Li Haitang and Liu Fen worked hard. They served three meals a day, but fortunately for the Liu family, the two sisters-in-law and sister were hardworking people, always rushing to help.

On the second day of the first month, Li Jianping drove the Liu family back to tan city and filled half a car with all kinds of sweets and drinks.

On the third day of the first month, a family of five returned to Lee ka tsuen for new year's greetings.

Li Haitang returned to the capital on the fifth day of the first month and left her hometown before dawn. Li Tao drove her to the provincial capital to take a plane.

Li Tao kept sending her to the waiting room, then turned around and left the airport. He happened to meet a Zheng family man at the entrance. The moment he saw Li Xiaoqin, his good mood immediately disappeared. His brows furrowed slightly. It seemed that they were on the same flight as Sister hoi tong.

Zheng Wentao and Li Xiaoqin clearly recognized him, and the reason why he appeared here was guessed. Zheng Minglong naturally thought of it, and her eyes brightened. Only Zheng Mingfeng didn't notice. She had already dragged her suitcase in.

"Hello, is my sister taking this flight back to the capital as well?" Zheng Minglong asked. He really wanted to see her.

Listening to him call out "Sister," Li Tao felt a little stifled, as if his own sister had been snatched away by him, and replied coldly, "Yes."

"Thank you." Zheng Minglong's expression was a little stiff. He thanked him and gave way.

Li Tao nodded at him, without even giving Li Xiaoqin a look, and strode away.

Li Xiaoqin looked at his back as he left, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves. Jianping's son had grown up, and his appearance and temperament were very similar to those of his time. From his expression, he could tell that he knew what he had done to his father back then. No wonder he was so stubborn when he first met him that he didn't want to talk to him.

"Let's go." Zheng Wentao didn't notice her expression. Her heart was on Li Haitang, who was already in the waiting room.
