Feng Yi spent this New Year's Eve very satisfactorily. It was the most relaxed time he had had since leaving the Feng family. He also enjoyed the New Year's Eve dinner.
There are no worries and not much psychological pressure.
Take a look at the New Year's Eve updates in chat groups and circles of friends, and interact with everyone. I haven't been so leisurely in the past few years, either at work or on the road to preparation for work.
Two friends from Rongcheng also video chatted with Feng Yi. They invited Feng Yi to have New Year's Eve dinner together before. Feng Yi said that he had arrangements. Now they made a video call to see how Feng Yi was doing and how he was doing.
Okay, I'm relieved. But what they envy the most is the temperature here in Yangcheng. The highest daytime temperature in Yangcheng these two days has been more than 20 degrees, while those in Rongcheng wear down jackets.
There are relatives and friends in Fengyi's chat app, as well as former partners. In comparison, there are very few blood relatives. My biological parents have not been in contact for several years and have disappeared from the address book.
Thinking of the refusal at the most difficult time last year, Feng Yi paused while flipping through the phone book and returned to the page.
Let's all be well.
Feng Yi also received a call from Feng Chi in the evening.
Feng Chi and the others had New Year's Eve dinner at their old house this year. Everyone went there, including a few people from my aunt's family, as well as a few people who were often absent in previous years because of their busy work or studies.
It might not have been there before, but this year it means a lot.
The Feng family's fight for the family property was only secretly done before, but now it's almost out in the open.
"The old man doesn't know what he is thinking. When he was chatting with someone a few days ago, he specifically said that he would make a will after the new year. During this period, the currents of light and dark are very strong. You come and go with me at the dinner table. Oh my god.
, one meal gave me indigestion." Feng Chi complained.
"Someone mentioned you, but the old man's attitude is very strange. It's obviously angry, but not completely angry. Those people are so smart. With the subtle expression on the old man's face, they probably have other ideas about you. You have to
Be vigilant." Feng Chi suggested, "If you want to have a good New Year, don't show up in public."
Feng Yi didn't want to appear in public, and he declined or postponed all the invitations to interview "Brother Snake".
The discussion about "Snake Brother and Python King" on the Internet has cooled down quickly because the Chinese New Year has brought more hot topics, but this does not mean that no one is keeping an eye on him.
In addition, the Feng family was competing for family property, and Feng Yi did not want to cause trouble for himself.
The poison glands are still being strengthened, and my teeth itch from time to time. I have to wait for this period to pass before I can travel far.
He plans to go out less often before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and only goes to see his dumb uncle on the first day of the new year, and also goes to pay homage to his ancestral home. Xiaofeng Mountain is in the outskirts, so no one should pay attention to it, and the people who went there to pay homage in the past are also
few.
I sent my best wishes to everyone in the chat group for the Florida python hunting event. Steve, Director He and others did not return to China for the New Year. Originally, Feng Yi was supposed to be with them, but the matter of Venomous Fang and the giant python changed the plan.
The members of the python hunting activity team ordered a New Year's Eve dinner together. Feng Yi watched the videos posted in the group and it was quite lively. Many people did not go to the swamp today because of the time difference, so the New Year's Eve dinner was not synchronized, but the atmosphere they arranged was quite good.
Red lanterns were also hung.
Feng Yi also sent a blessing message to Uncle Dumb, asking him how he would eat the New Year's Eve dinner, and by the way, he also mentioned that he would go to his ancestral home tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Uncle Dumb replied [Don’t be too early tomorrow! [Video]]
Feng Yi clicked on the video.
I don’t know where Uncle Dumb is. There is a circle of people sitting next to the mahjong table. There are old men and old ladies talking about something next to them, and there is a Spring Festival gala in the background. It is quite lively, but not chaotic.
My uncle is awesome!
Quite good at having fun!
Feng Yi smiled and wrote back to Uncle Dumb, saying that he would go over at about ten o'clock in the morning and bring the old man some meat dishes cooked by the chef at home.
A nursing home near Xiaofengshan.
Uncle Dumb quickly replied to Feng Yi's message and continued to count the cards. With his hand speed of picking tea leaves, he was the only one among his peers who could still send messages and browse the web while he was counting the cards.
An old man asked: "Who are you sending messages to again?"
Uncle Dumb quickly edited on his mobile phone, and then read aloud with his voice: "Junior~the one who called me to celebrate the New Year~"
"That's good. It means I'm thinking of you."
"Annoying! So sticky~"
The dumb uncle grinned, played his cards and slapped them on the table.
Sitting next to him was a one-armed old man who reported cards to him in a loud voice. The two were old partners.
There are many left-behind elderly people here, and Uncle Ya brought many young people over to celebrate the New Year with them.
The mute uncle cannot speak, but everyone in the nursing home knows that this mute old man is not easy to mess with.
In the past, someone in the nursing home bullied him into not being able to speak. He cursed a lot in front of him and then ran away.
I just cursed in the morning. In the afternoon, the mute uncle blocked the door with a Bluetooth speaker, converted the 2,000-word curse written on his mobile phone into a voice, clicked and played it in a loop all afternoon, and hired four young adults to guard the speaker to prevent anyone from taking it.
Turn off the stereo and don't let the people in the house escape.
If you have money, leisure, and an open mind, you will take revenge as soon as possible.
This year Uncle Mute is staying at the nursing home. He has a room here, where he can eat New Year's dinner, play mahjong and have a good sleep before going back to the mountains tomorrow.
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In many places, the north wind blows and you have to wear down jackets when traveling. The weather in Yangcheng is so good that it makes people jealous.
It was already nine o'clock when Feng Yi woke up. Some people he had little contact with before sent him messages last night. It has to be said that as this person became famous, he had more "friends".
When I woke up, I didn't get up immediately and stayed in bed.
Feng Yi rubbed his cheeks. The poison glands were still changing, and his cheeks were a little itchy and uncomfortable.
Feng Yi yawned and thought of something. He didn't bother rubbing his face and picked up his phone.
It’s time to send New Year’s red envelopes to employees.
They were still given a holiday today, and Feng Yi planned to go to Xiaofeng Mountain alone.
I originally wanted to ask the butler to come with me, but the butler refused.
I sent red envelopes to employees and responded to every New Year greeting message on the chat app.
Feng Yi sent a New Year's greetings letter to Uncle Mute by the way.
After a while, Uncle Dumb came back with a red envelope.
The amount is quite large.
Did you win money playing mahjong?
After completing the online New Year greetings, Feng Yi got up with a flick of his tail.
When I talked to Feng Chi on the phone yesterday, the guy said that he had never heard anyone mention going to Xiaofeng Mountain to worship ancestors.
The ancestral home in Xiaofengshan does not have a high sense of presence in the Feng family, because the old man does not pay attention to it. He arranges the ancestor worship matters and rarely allows other people to participate. The same is true for the Qingming ancestor worship. Gradually, everyone also
I don't care anymore.
They only need to know that there are no ancestors to admire. When they interpret and analyze the old man's psychology, they can even decipher some important information: the old man has a grudge against his great-grandfather's generation.
There is only one "ancestor" in the Feng family now, and that is Mr. Feng. The old man is living well, and he doesn't like hearing the word "sacrifice" mentioned all the time.
The fathers and grandchildren of the Feng family can only pay tribute to the old man's three wives who have passed away.
There were rumors before that the old man wanted to pick a place to build an ancestral hall, but there has been no real progress. Gradually, no one mentioned the "ancestral temple". After all, not everyone in every place has the culture of ancestral halls, and there is no such thing.
It must continue forever.
Times are changing, and so are etiquette.
Like Feng Yi and his generation, almost no one knows that there is an ancestral temple built in the ancestral home in Xiaofengshan.
When Feng Yi drove to Xiaofeng Mountain, at the foot of Xiaofeng Mountain, a black, low-key private car slowly drove from a distance and stopped at a service station at the foot of the mountain.
This service station is not big. With the development of intelligence, the service station does not need to be staffed all the time.
The car stopped at the designated location and two young men got out of the car.
The younger one is Feng Qian, the child of Feng Yi’s fourth uncle.
The other one is Aunt Fengyi’s eldest son, Luo Kai.
The two of them did not have the same grandmother as Feng Yi, and they were not very close in the past, but recently they have frequently talked about Feng Yi. One is the popularity Feng Yi has caused on the Internet, and the other is the old man's strange attitude towards Feng Yi.
Feng Qian got out of the car and looked at the sun above his head, then walked to the shade of the service area with a frown.
They both had New Year's Eve dinner at the old house yesterday. They had never paid attention to the ancestral temple before, but Luo Kai found some information. It was not that the old man didn't care about the ancestral temple, but that he had plans to build another one. After discussing it, the two of them decided to come this morning.
I'll take a trip to Xiaofengshan's ancestral home to see if I can find out any useful information.
There was a factory at the foot of Xiaofeng Mountain that had something to do with a company owned by Uncle Feng's family. In order to avoid detection, they took a detour and arrived a little later than expected. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sun was already high in the sky.
Feng Qian opened the map on his mobile phone, looked at the location, pointed to a point on the map, and asked Luo Kai, "Are you sure the old man wants to build an ancestral hall there? That place is diagonal to Xiaofeng Mountain and is far away."
Luo Kai was not sure, "That's what I found. I guess the old man thinks the feng shui here is not good?"
"Xiaofeng Mountain, the legendary Snake Mountain, I didn't see any snakes either." Feng Qian looked around.
"They said they just changed the management model and transferred another batch, so I didn't see any snakes."
"Good exchange! Creatures like snakes shouldn't exist!" Feng Qian was afraid of snakes. When he first learned that the ancestral temple was in the legendary Snake Mountain, he refused, but driven by profit, he still came with Luo Kai.
I was nervous all the way here, but when I got here, I only saw warning signs with snake symbols, not a single snake, and the fear in my heart became lighter.
"There's not a soul in this place! It's scary, no wonder people don't like coming here!"
They came all the way. There were cars and people, but they didn't go this way. After searching on the map, there was a cemetery nearby.
"Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year are visiting graves in this wilderness, right?"
Feng Qian complained and yawned. He was a senior this year and rarely rested at home during the holidays. He wanted to sleep until noon every day.
Luo Kai is similar to him, but Luo Kai is about to graduate from graduate school this year. He has to prepare a thesis, be taken care of by his parents, and attend several important banquets in the first month. He is very busy. He can only get some sleep in the few days around New Year's Eve.
The child is lazy and sleeps.
I rubbed my eyes and blew some air outside the car to adjust my mental state.
"I'll go in and use the toilet."
Feng Qian said, walking into the service station. There is a bathroom inside.
Luo Kai walked to the smoking area, lit a cigarette, and thought carefully about the information about the old man he had found in the past two days. Mr. Feng did not leave the old house, but he did a lot. The newly built ancestral temple was only found by him by chance, otherwise
I really didn’t know this old man had such an idea!
They always thought that the old man didn't care about the ancestral temple. After all, times are changing. Young people have new habits and many ideas are different from those of the elderly. No one would think in the direction of the ancestral temple.
He has never seen the Feng Family Ancestral Temple!
As a grandson who is doing well in life, Luo Kai also has a sense of presence among the old man.
Luo Kai held a cigarette in his mouth and frowned, thinking about what his mother said last night.
The old man has too many things in his hands, and even a little bit of them will leak out from between his fingers, which can make most people eat to their full capacity.
But the internal competition is also quite fierce...
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a scream from inside the service station:
"There are snakes!!!"
Luo Kai was so shocked that he almost choked. The cigarette butt fell and burned his hand, so he didn't care too much. He was about to rush inside when he saw Feng Qian running out from inside with a pale face.
"There... there's a snake inside! So big!!"
Feng Qian gestured with trembling hands.
Luo Kai took a look, and according to Feng Qian's description, the snakes inside were all thick-wristed! However, Feng Qian was too frightened now, so it's understandable to exaggerate.
"Let's hide in the car!" Seeing that he was fine, Luo Kai said that he was going to hide in the car. He was also afraid of snakes.
"There's no rush." Feng Qian's face hadn't recovered and he was panting heavily, but his mood gradually calmed down, "The snake was stuck by the window and couldn't move."
"...Oh." Luo Kai closed the opened car door again. Hearing that the snake was stuck, he was a little curious.
He is really afraid of snakes, but during this period, the news about Feng Yi on the Internet made him more unnecessarily curious.
"Is that snake really big?" Luo Kai asked.
"Big! Can't get stuck in the window? It's not winter now! Aren't snakes supposed to hibernate?"
"How can they sleep in the winter when it's 20 degrees Celsius?"
The temperature was a bit low in the morning, but now it's almost noon and the temperature has risen and has already exceeded 20 degrees.
"What should we do now? Call the police?" Feng Qian said and shook his head, "The noise of calling the police is too big, so we'd better ignore it and do business first."
Luo Kai thought so too.
If they leave first, the next person who comes to the service station will definitely call the police.
The two got into the car and prepared to drive away.
"A car is coming!" Feng Qian looked towards the entrance of the service station.
Due to the light, it was difficult to see the people in the car, and they had no impression of the license plate.
"Alert the car owner that there is a snake inside and ask him to call the police," Luo Kai said.
"Um."
Feng Qian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, unbuckled his seat belt and was about to open the door when Luo Kai pulled him back.
"What?" Feng Qian was confused.
"It's Feng Yi!"
Feng Qian's expression suddenly changed and he looked to the side, just in time to see Feng Yi getting out of the car and looking towards them.
The atmosphere is a bit strange.
Since Feng Yi left the Feng family when he went to college, they have not contacted Feng Yi. The information after that was either checked by others or found online. This is the first time they have met in several years.
Feng Yi raised his eyebrows and was surprised to see these two people here. But he didn't want to talk about it anymore. He didn't have a close relationship with these two people before, and he didn't have much hatred. After not seeing each other for several years, he was only alienated, so he said indifferently.
:"happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Feng Qian replied stiffly.
Seeing Feng Yi going to the service station, Feng Qian said: "There is a big snake stuck in the bathroom window inside!"
Feng Yi didn't stop and made a gesture to show that he understood.
Feng Qian laughed self-deprecatingly and said in a low voice: "That's right, Brother Snake, as for the Python King, he can catch a snake seven meters long, and he is still afraid of such a small snake!"
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Qian got out of the car and walked inside, wanting to see how Feng Yi caught the snake!
Luo Kai also got off the car.
Feng Yi first took care of his urgent needs and simply washed his hands after going to the toilet. While wiping the water on his hands, he looked at the snake stuck there.
King Jin She must have escaped from prison in the protected area. She is very fat. She is vomiting words.
There are two types of cauliflower snakes that people often talk about, one is the black-browed snake, and the other is the king snake. It is non-venomous, and the residents near Xiaofengshan are not afraid of it. Some old people still regard it as a treasure.
Unlike the slender body of the Black-browed Elephant Snake, the King Elephant Snake is stouter and has a snake-eating habit. After all, it is a snake of the "king" generation.
This wealthy figure also has a place in the list of high-quality snake eaters.
The window on the side was broken and there was only a gap. It could not be closed tightly or opened. If someone else came over, they would probably have to use hydraulic pliers to get the snake out of the gap.
Feng Yi pinched the snake's head with one hand and opened the window with the other hand. He didn't use too much force. He just widened the gap a little and pulled out the snake.
When I walked out of the bathroom holding the snake, the two people standing at the door stepped back and didn't say anything.
Feng Yi ignored them and continued walking out.
The two looked at each other and followed in silence.
Feng Yi saw the mouse trap in the corner. There was a fat mouse in it. It was probably not long after it was caught. The mouse was still very energetic. This snake may have been chasing its prey here.
The mouse does not necessarily have to come in through the window, but this snake was unlucky and took a shortcut through the window, but got stuck because it was too fat.
When Feng Yi came in just now, he noticed a cabinet at the door.
It's similar to the lockers in the supermarket, but it's in the corner and you can't even notice it unless you look specifically. Even if you notice it, many people won't touch it, and the instructions next to it won't be studied, but kept far away.
Because there is a snake symbol on the cabinet.
Feng Yi grabbed the snake and walked to the cabinet and pressed a button.
A basket with a bag popped out from under the cabinet.
Throw the snake into the bag, tie it up, and then select a larger storage compartment on the screen.
Place the snake in the storage compartment and close the door.
"Scanning" is displayed on the screen, and then weighed.
After a while, the settlement page popped up on the screen. Feng Yi scanned the code and a bonus was transferred to his account.
Because snakes often escape from Xiaofengshan, this kind of cabinet is set up in order to encourage nearby residents to catch snakes. There are bonuses for catching snakes.
Feng Qian and Luo Kai stood aside and watched as if they were dumbfounded.
