With the development of the times, almost everyone is certain of one problem: the flavor of the year is getting weaker and weaker.
Nowadays, the seven days taken off during the Chinese New Year holidays are almost the same as the usual double holidays for people, and the experience is even worse than the double holidays.
After all, there are few things more unlucky than working seven days in a row the week before Chinese New Year.
In the final analysis, the reason why the taste of the new year has faded is due to some side effects caused by the gradual disintegration of agricultural social communities and farming culture. It may also be the alienation of capital from the overall human society. The working people in most families are
The individual way is integrated into the capitalist mode of production, the pace speeds up, and the emotional connection between people weakens, causing all festivals to become more commercial...Capitalism turns people into ghosts!
The most important thing may be that I have grown up as a group of children.
Because when they grow up, they can no longer go around in small groups with firecrackers and fry cakes like they did when they were children; because when they grow up, they can no longer pay New Year greetings to their elders like they did before, asking for New Year's money and New Year gifts everywhere, but instead need to spend money on their families.
Buy New Year's goods and give red envelopes to the younger generation; because when they grow up, they can no longer play around with runny noses and bubbles as carefree as they did when they were children. They need to stand up and cook, and become the main force in housework.
As people grow up, they have responsibilities.
Happiness disappears, anxiety increases, and the spirit of the New Year naturally fades. They even feel like they are one year older, and they are vaguely worried about whether their income will increase next year, and whether they can pay off their mortgage and car loans. Their anxiety prompts them to enjoy the New Year holiday flawlessly.
"It's just one word, so miserable. Why do we have to celebrate the New Year?"
Li Peifeng was also helpless about this, especially since his birthday fell on the Spring Festival, which resulted in him rarely enjoying the birthday candle-blowing part since he was a child. He couldn't even eat cake, but could only eat dumplings.
Moreover, since Li Peifeng went to college at the age of eighteen, he has not received any new year's money from his parents because he can already make money.
Every Spring Festival is his birthday, and the spirit of the year is getting weaker every year. Without the new year's money, he can't celebrate his birthday with enthusiasm, which is just adding insult to injury.
There were still three or four days before New Year's Eve. Li Peifeng returned from his grandma and grandpa's house. He couldn't help but post a complaint on WeChat Moments. Some of his friends from the "Feng Chasing Scum Girl Group" saw it and left messages to express their concern. Some girls even sent a message to express their concern.
I sent a red envelope to Li Peifeng, which actually included Gu Linaza.
"Take it to buy some candy."
The maximum red envelope is only 200 yuan. After being baptized by a watch worth 1.5 million, Li Peifeng's horizons have also broadened. He actually looked down on this small amount of money and did not click to receive it. He chatted with Gulinazha for a few words and then ignored the other party.
.
"Ding~ding~"
Xu Manying and Huang Tianxuan, who were closer to him, not only did not give him a red envelope, they also sent messages to criticize him.
Xu Manying: "Withdraw immediately, don't think I don't know you are fishing!!"
Huang Tianxuan: "The fishhook has been thrown into my mouth. You are such a naughty man. You used to ask for red envelopes in book club groups, but now you ask for them directly in Moments? Are you building a nest for your own fish pond again?"
"You can really relate."
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Li Peifeng deleted this circle of friends. The two girls gave up and took the initiative to mention his birthday and asked Li Peifeng how he planned to celebrate his birthday.
"Eat some dumplings to celebrate the Spring Festival together. Don't worry about me. If you are happy, I will be happy too."
Li Peifeng replied like this. After all, February 1st is a special day. The girls have to spend the New Year with their families at home. It is unnecessary and too troublesome to come all the way just to celebrate his birthday with him.
Huang Tianxuan: "Okay, anyway, I gave you the gift in advance when I was in Hangzhou, so it's considered an early birthday for you."
Li Peifeng: "Yeah, thank you, wife, for the watch."
After replying, she looked at the other person, but Xu Manying fell into silence, as if she really didn't want to celebrate Li Peifeng's birthday, and someone Li connected with her heart to heart, feeling that Miss Xu was still angry about "receiving certificates in order", but she didn't
Ask again.
[The stinking bastard is quite self-aware. If you have the nerve to ask me for a birthday gift, I will let Yueyue buy 250 yuan of firecrackers to blow you up...]
Li Peifeng: "The two hundred and fifty firecrackers are almost interesting, but the five hundred and two firecrackers might scare me."
Xu Manying: "Don't eavesdrop on what I'm saying!!"
Li Peifeng: "But as long as I think about my wife, I can connect with you. It seems that I can only restrain myself from missing you. I will try my best to restrain myself..."
Xu Manying: "(angry) Don't miss me!!!"
Li Peifeng: "(Speechless) Then what do you want me to do?"
Xu Manying: "...Husband, you and Yueyue drive to the capital. I will celebrate the New Year with you and let your uncles and aunts come too."
Li Peifeng: "It's impossible. Who doesn't spend the Chinese New Year at home? I know why you are anxious. Wait until after the Chinese New Year. I will return to Beijing early to see your parents."
Xu Manying: "What's the point of coming by yourself? Let your uncles and aunts come too. I will announce your plan in front of two families. If they agree to you marrying four wives, I will agree."
Li Peifeng: "...If you want me to die, you can just blow me up with firecrackers. There is no need to go to a lot of trouble."
Xu Manying: "I am your first girlfriend!!"
Li Peifeng suddenly understood, and he finally understood why Xu Manying was angry. It turned out that he was angry about the order of receiving the certificate? That would be easy to handle.
"But Qingge is older, and the order of marriage doesn't mean anything. The marriage certificate doesn't show the number of marriages. Although you are the third one, as long as we don't reveal it, no one will know. The other party
Don’t worry, this won’t make my love for you less, Man Ning, I love you~”
"roll!"
Faced with Xu Manying's remarks, Li Peifeng also said some sophistry. He had to admit that he could not be absolutely fair.
Among the four girls, Li Peifeng is indeed more inclined to Zhao Qingge because of Lao Zhao's age, personality, identity, appearance, family... Anyway, various reasons combined have led to this imbalance, making him want to be the first.
I and Zhao Qingge received the certificate.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, Li Peifeng believed that if he did not put Zhao Qingge first, Lao Zhao would not agree to the second, third or even fourth marriage even after his death.
He got married and got a certificate. No matter how Li Peifeng explained, Zhao Duoduo would not agree and would just turn around and leave without even thinking about it.
This woman is very principled, which is called stubborn.
The other three are definitely not as tough as Zhao Qingge on the order of obtaining certificates.
What does this mean? It means that Zhao Duoduo’s united front value is extremely high!!
Since the value of the united front is high, they are destined to receive preferential treatment. As for the other three, since they are reluctant to fight to the death...then they can only feel aggrieved.
"I bear the cold wind because of you~ I shed tears when I am lonely~"
"Someone asked me what is right and wrong ~ tell me what is right and wrong..."
"Dingle bell bell bell~"
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Peifeng had just posted a playing and singing video on Douyin. The phone rang and the caller was Zhao Qingge.
He was somewhat surprised. The two of them had a phone call two days ago.
After sex, after Li Peifeng suggested to ‘get the certificates one by one’, Zhao Qingge became very angry and stopped contacting him. Why did he take the initiative to call him now?
"Hello?"
When he was confused, Li Peifeng answered the phone, and Zhao Qingge took the initiative: "It's your birthday on the Spring Festival, right?"
"…right."
"How are you going to live?"
Li Peifeng was flattered: "That's all, that's all. I'm very happy if you remember my birthday."
Zhao Qingge said calmly: "Do you want a birthday gift?"
Did your anger dissipate so quickly?
Li Peifeng thought about it and said with a smile: "I think about it, of course I do. What are you going to give me?"
Zhao Qingge’s words were concise and to the point: “Check your mailbox.”
Mailbox, the gift is in the mailbox? What could it be? A love poem created and written by Zhao? Or a song sung by himself?
"Hold on."
Li Peifeng was confused and looking forward to it. He sat in front of the computer and opened TT to check the latest email. It was sent by Zhao Qingge. There was a document in the attachment...
"Translate that English article and give it to me before the first day of junior high school."
Zhao Qingge's words stunned Li Peifeng: "...don't you want to give me a birthday gift?"
"Read the text of the email."
Email text?
There are two paragraphs of text in the middle of the entire email, but the font is very small, and because it is in the middle of the page, Li Peifeng just found the attachment and scrolled it down directly to the bottom. He did not notice that there were still two paragraphs in the email;
——
"The sunlight gildes you with maturity, and the moonlight adds wisdom to you. As your birthday approaches, may the blessings of your friends gather into the source of your happiness. I wish you a happy birthday and success in your studies."
"——Translate the following 18,000-word English document, and you will receive a birthday reward for improving your English."
——
I thought I would at least have an e-greeting card!!! But... it was damaged or not?
Li Peifeng resisted the urge to complain and kept a calm expression: "Can I not want this reward?"
Zhao Qingge's tone was very light: "Of course you can choose to refuse my gift, but you still have to translate the article because you are now my student."
Of course, I am your closed disciple, the kind who does whatever the teacher has to do and nothing to do!!
Li Peifeng gritted his teeth and accepted the offer: "Then I'd better accept it."
Zhao Qingge hummed and reminded: "Remember to send it to me before the first day of junior high school."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
Zhao Qingge was silent for a moment and said, "You haven't said thank you yet."
Why should I thank you? Because of the insincere birthday greeting you sent me, or because of the new winter vacation homework you gave me?!!
Li Peifeng protested with silence.
But Zhao Qingge didn't take it seriously: "I have been choosing this gift for a long time and spent a lot of thought to choose such a difficult document with a large vocabulary for you to improve your English. If you are not satisfied, I
You can change it to a more difficult one..."
Li Peifeng rolled his eyes and interrupted: "Thank you for your birthday gift, hang up!"
Tolerate the calm for a while, and take a step back to get more and more angry.
Of the four girls, three were unable to accompany him and received an extra winter vacation homework as a birthday present.
After hanging up the phone, Li Peifeng felt more and more uncomfortable. This feeling was suppressed in his heart, prompting him to post a new circle of friends to express his feelings.
But this time Li Peifeng was smart. He set the four girls to be invisible, and added a nude photo that he had previously sent to Yun Xinyuexing, but the size was not that large, with a simple sentence;
"After all, I am the only one who bears everything!"
Soon, a lot of new messages were added to the bottom. Most of them were former female friends or members of the scumbag girl chasing group. Li Peifeng concentrated on typing, only glanced at them occasionally, and did not choose to reply.
Li Peifeng, who is about to turn 24, still has no birthday to celebrate as in previous years. He is somewhat regretful, but he is also trying to find ways to comfort himself.
Celebrating birthdays is the same as celebrating the New Year. The older you get, the less interesting it becomes. There is really nothing to enjoy. The Spring Festival is already here, so why bother to buy a cake and light candles to celebrate a birthday, just to make a wish that is destined to never come true? It doubles as a reminder that you are old.
One year old?
…………
"I've aged another year."
On January 31st, at eight o'clock on New Year's Eve, a family of three was watching the opening song and dance of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV while making dumplings. Li Qiyuan suddenly expressed such emotion.
"so~peng~so~peng~"
Thousands of lights outside the window, firecrackers and fireworks kept ringing, and the reflected glass flickered on and off. The sound could be clearly heard even indoors. Li Peifeng also spoke at a louder volume: "Bu Lao, I see you and my mother have been together for the past two days.
He’s still a lot younger.”
Yu Huizhi wrapped the dough slowly with one hand and stuffing in the other, with a smile on her face: "It seems to be a little bit, the health medicine you gave us is really useful."
Li Qiyuan nodded slightly: "Indeed, I thought it was a psychological effect at first, but after taking it for two weeks, I not only felt that my mental state was stronger, but I also found that the crow's feet on your mother's face have also faded."
"The skin has also become tender!" Yu Huizhi added: "A lot of your dad's hair roots were white before, but recently I see it has grown black again! Your aunt even praised me for being at least four or five years younger."
Li Peifeng said with a smile: "Okay, if it works, then continue taking it and finish all the medicine. Maybe you, your parents, will be able to have a second child by then, so I have to remind you, don't accidentally kill someone. Do it."
Be ready to take action..."
"Shut up."
Li Qiyuan scolded: "Watch your TV!" Then he glanced at Yu Huizhi, whose face was slightly red, and his eyes evaded.
Because of the latest [Acute Hearing] transformation, in the past week, Mr. Li has been hearing some things he shouldn’t have heard every night, which is very annoying!!
Come here every night for seven days in a row. How often is this? An old couple actually starts to fall in love like a young couple!
The reason why my parents' bodies were once again glowing with spring was naturally attributed to the [Purple Ginseng and Polygonum Multiflorum] given to them by Li Peifeng. After experiencing the extraordinary effects of this medicine, the elders asked Li Peifeng if it could still be purchased and wanted him to buy some more.
, but someone Li deceived Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi on the grounds that the old Chinese medicine doctor who sold his medicine against the ancestor's decision had passed away, and the prescriptions and medicinal materials had been lost.
However, if similar medicines are drawn in the lottery later, Li Peifeng still plans to give them to them. After all, the second elder is in good health, so he can rest assured that he can wander outside. If the second elder has an illness, Li Peifeng, the only son, will also be in trouble.
.
"This is the live broadcast of the 2122 Spring Festival Gala. We and the people of all ethnic groups across the country welcome the arrival of the Renyin Year of the Tiger..."
The firecrackers outside have not stopped since the afternoon. After the opening song and dance of the Spring Festival Gala ended, after several hosts came out, there was another wave of more violent firecrackers outside. Now, this small Ningyuan City is full of flickering firelights and
Despite the smoke, the family was chatting about home affairs inside the house.
"Your mother and I are going to Sanya Maodong in the third grade of junior high school. Will you come with us or stay at home?"
Li Peifeng was slightly startled: "Ah, I won't go. Let's go on your honeymoon. I might go back to school early... Hey, has the new building been decorated?"
Li Qiyuan nodded and said: "It's all over. There is no need to buy furniture. The ones given by Qingge are enough, but they still need to be tasted."
"The decoration is all environmentally friendly materials, but your dad and I still plan to move in again in six months."
"If you really want to live there, wait until next fall. Once the temperature rises in summer, harmful gases such as formaldehyde will evaporate."
"Yes, if we move there in the fall, you will probably be able to graduate early by then."
"Fengfeng, your dad and I are still a little worried. You will graduate in one semester..."
Yu Huizhi's hand in making dumplings stagnated slightly, and she looked at Li Peifeng with sincere eyes: "Now that the matter has come to this, what do you think?"
"Aren't you going to tell us more about the four of them?" Li Qiyuan, who was rolling out the dough, also stopped his rolling pin and muttered: "In any case, you have to come up with a charter and tell us about it. Your mother and I will also
I can give you some advice."
The topic circled around and turned to his emotional issues.
Li Peifeng was silent for a moment and sighed: "To be honest, parents, this is what I want to do..."
After all, he still told his parents his plan to obtain the certificates one by one and get married one by one.
There was no way, even if Li Peifeng wanted to hide it, he couldn't. Because before he married the four girls, Li Yu and his wife had to at least meet with the parents of the girls one after another, right?
He is not an orphan. He has both parents. How can a child get married without the parents of both parties meeting? Even if they don't meet before the marriage, the groom's parents must be present during the ceremony, right?
Therefore, the plan to obtain certificates in sequence requires the cooperation of the two elders. This cooperation is difficult to say and easy to say...
"It's very simple. When the time comes, your parents will forget about my relationship with the other three people and just chat and get along with their parents normally. Hey, you understand amnesia? You can have selective amnesia like me before!"
"When I met Zhao Qingge's parents, I forgot all the memories of Xu Manying, Wu Wenyue, and Huang Tianxuan. The same goes for when I met Xu Manying..."
Under the increasingly weird looks in Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi's eyes, Li Peifeng's voice became lower and lower, and finally he became silent.
"husband."
Yu Huizhi raised her head and looked at Li Qiyuan who was standing, and said with difficulty: "I remember that there was a statement in the newspaper about severing the parent-child relationship?"
Li Qiyuan pursed his lips: "That has no legal effect."
"…This is how to do?"
Yu Huizhi's hands were trembling, and she seemed completely unaware of it. She kept mumbling as if she had lost her soul: "What can we do? What can we do? What can we do?!"
Li Peifeng whispered: "If you ask me, you should have a second child. When you meet the parents, I will tell you that my mother is pregnant and my father is taking care of my mother. You don't have to come forward. It's okay."
"Pa~"
Li Qiyuan angrily hit the panel with a rolling pin and said angrily: "You little beast, are you finished?"
"Dingling bell~"
At this moment of tension, Li Peifeng's mobile phone placed on the dining table rang the ringtone of a video call...
What is the caller dreaming of!
"Slip away."
Li Peifeng immediately stood up, picked up his cell phone and walked into the bedroom. If he didn't run away at this time, he would be easily beaten.
The new body with strengthened muscles and bones will definitely be able to withstand beatings, but he doesn't plan to test it out, there's no need!
"..."
The couple in the living room were silent for a moment. Yu Huizhi seemed to have just calmed down and stopped talking. Her eyes were confused: "Who called him just now? The names on the screen didn't seem to be the four of them."
Li Qiyuan's fingers tightened on the rolling pin, and finally his face turned pale: "It should be the fifth one... right?!"
