Wang Xiaojuan brought a plate of melon seeds. When she put them down, she took off her sleeves, rolled up her sleeves, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them.
The leather watch is very eye-catching, Qian Shufen could see it as soon as she took a quick look.
"Hey, this is a leather watch, right?" Qian Shufen came over, reached out and grabbed Wang Xiaojuan's hand, took it to her face, took a look, and sighed, "Doesn't this cost a lot of money?"
Wang Xiaojuan waited for her to let go, then pulled her hand back and said while eating melon seeds:
"It's okay. I don't know how much it costs. It was a gift from my daughter and son-in-law. I thought it would be a good idea not to wear it, so I took it out and put it on."
"Oh, his dad also has one." Wang Xiaojuan pointed at Li Dawei who was watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Li Dawei turned around, he was no longer pretending.
He took the initiative to reveal the watch on his wrist. It was silver, low-key yet luxurious, and it looked like it was no ordinary bargain.
Old Man Li and Li Dalong came over to watch. They looked at each other with envy in their hearts, but refused to boast. They glanced at each other and turned back to watch TV.
"It's okay." Li Dalong said, "It looks just so-so, but it's just a child's wish."
He said nothing, and immediately called his youngest son, asking him to get the beeping machine he hung on the bedside, and said to Li Dawei:
"Daniu bought it for 800 yuan. You may not think it's a second-hand one, but it works better than a new one!"
Li Dawei also imitated his reaction just now and said calmly: "Well, the child has a good intention."
But he estimated that there was no place for this beeping machine. There were very few households in the countryside with telephones. Who would use a pager to find Li Dalong?
The two brothers looked at each other, smiled politely, then looked at their children, and nodded proudly.
Li Daniu and Zhao Yong looked at each other helplessly, scratched their heads in embarrassment, and smiled indifferently to tease their daughter.
After staying up until after eleven o'clock, Li Xiaoniu couldn't help it and shouted to set off fireworks.
Li Daniu bought a lot of fireworks this year and kept them for his daughter to watch during the New Year. Li Xiaoniu thought about them for a long time.
"Then let's go set off fireworks?" Li Daniu greeted Li Lijun and her brother.
Li Xiaoniu stood up immediately and called his niece to get her fireworks.
"Together?" Zhao Yong came to his wife's side holding his daughter who wanted to sleep but refused to sleep, "I haven't seen fireworks every year."
Li Manjun thought about it and it seemed like this was the case, and waved to Ren Yan, "Let's go and set off fireworks together. The Spring Festival Gala will be replayed tomorrow, so it'll be fine if we stop for a while."
Ren Yan nodded, "Okay, let's go."
The two eldest children, Li Lijun and Li Jianjun, had already gone out with their cousin and niece. When Li Manjun and others came out, each of them had already lit a firework, and the orange fireworks "Peng" were launched into the night sky.
The small fireworks are not as stunning as the big ones, but several people set them off one after another and had a great time.
Nian Nian was startled by the sound of cannons, and quickly sat upright in his father's arms. He pointed his little finger at the fireworks that suddenly lit up in the night sky, "Baba, baba!"
】
Zhao Yong took her a little further, and Li Jianjun immediately lit a small whirlwind. The fireworks spinning on the ground were even more beautiful. He couldn't turn his eyes after watching them every year. He stared blankly and held them with his little hands.
He looked eager to try.
Nannan was still young, so Li Lijun held her hand and taught her how to release it. Nannan did not dare to hold the fireworks stick, so she touched it with her hand. The other hand nervously grabbed the corner of her aunt's clothes, feeling the impact of the fireworks on her neck.
Shrinking, he couldn't help laughing excitedly.
The adults were sitting in the main room, watching the children playing and playing in front of the yard, with happy expressions on their faces.
Qian Shufen looked a little lonely, and Li Lanfang didn't make it back for the New Year's Eve dinner, and might still be on the road now.
At night, in order to take care of the child more conveniently, Li Lijun took the child to sleep with her mother and sister in Li Lanfang's room. She and the child slept on the bed, while Li Lijun and Wang Xiaojuan made the floor, and the two families slept together as before.
Strangely enough, in her previous life, Li Manjun was used to sleeping in a bed alone. She was not used to it and even hated sleeping in the same room with others.
But in this era, when she feels the intimacy and warmth between people, she no longer rejects this kind of crowding.
Therefore, the environment can really reshape a person.
Li Lanfang only arrived home in the afternoon of the first day of the new year. To everyone's surprise, she did not come back alone.
Li Lijun carried her niece to the kitchen and asked in disbelief: "Sister, is that man really Li Lanfang's boyfriend?"
Li Manjun was making tea on the stove. A new guest came to the house and she wanted to make a bowl of tea for the guest.
"What does it mean to be real?" Li Manjun took out the tea bowl from the cupboard and washed it, wiped it clean and poured tea. "Your sister Lan Fang introduced her when she came in. They have been together for half a year."
So what is it but a boyfriend?
Li Lijun raised her eyebrows with disdain in her eyes, "The hair is so long, the legs are short, and she is wearing bell-bottom pants. She looks foreign and earthy. It's so ugly!"
Wang Xiaojuan glared at her daughter, "What nonsense are you talking about, let others hear it!"
Li Lijun snorted and glanced into the main room. Li Lanfang's boyfriend was sitting on a stool blowing cigarettes to the male elders in the family. He was also calling Zhao Yong affectionately as brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
Obviously this man's facial features were not bad, but Li Lijun just felt that he did not look like a serious person, and there was a sense of vulgarity in his eyes.
"What's the matter with Sister Lanfang? Can you like such a man?" Li Lijun said, feeling unworthy for her sister.
Li Lanfang walked in, and Li Manjun patted his sister's arm to remind her to shut up.
Of course, Li Lijun couldn't complain in front of the real owner, so she raised her lips and smiled affectionately at Li Lanfang, "Sister Lanfang."
Perhaps knowing that everyone was talking about her boyfriend, Li Lanfang was a little embarrassed, her face was pink and red.
"The tea is ready, you can take it." Li Manjun handed the tea bowl tray to Li Lanfang.
Li Lanfang hesitated for a while and asked Li Manjun in a low voice: "Manjun, what do you think of Xiao Zheng?"
Li Manjun looked at Zheng Xiaoyou who was being questioned in the room. He did feel that he was deliberately showing off, but he was answering the elders' questions very seriously. The weather outside was as cold as minus several degrees, and the brazier was burning in the room.
Warm, he frequently raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He is of average height. If Li Lanfang wore high heels, he might be taller than him.
Zheng Xiaoyou has only one face with good facial features in his whole body. It may be due to his height that he is not confident. Every move he makes makes people feel a bit wretched.
But look at the gifts he brought beside the wall. They are very generous. He is also very polite to his elders. His character should not be too bad.
Li Manjun said with a smile: "People should not be judged by their appearance. If you are going to bring him back to meet his parents, you must have approved him. I believe he must be outstanding, otherwise he would not be recognized by you."
Li Lijun was anxious, sister, are you saying good things to Zheng Xiaoyou?
