On the first day of junior high school, Guo Shouye’s house had a lot of guests.
Xu Shiyan didn't stay at Guo's house for too long. The two chatted for a while, and someone happened to arrive. Xu Shiyan took his wife and children away and returned to Donggang.
As soon as they returned home, Yang Junxian and his wife came with Yang Haoyu.
Xu Shiyan didn't have time to chat with Yang Junxian and his wife for a while, as there was an endless stream of guests at home.
Most of them were employees attending the event, as well as people from Donggang Town.
The visitor didn't say anything else, just that it was Chinese New Year and he came to see the two elders of the Xu family and wish them a happy new year.
Some people even came carrying things, probably for the elderly.
Xu Shiyan's family entertained guests well, but Xu Shiyan confiscated none of the things no matter who brought them.
It's different now than before. In the past, it was just a matter of human relations, and people came only after the relationship was established.
No matter how many things others bring, Xu Shiyan always adds some gifts in return.
Now that Xu Shiyan is in this position, if he continues to collect things casually, it will be easy for others to take advantage of him.
The Xu family doesn't lack anything. With their couple's wealth, they can do everything they want, so there's no need to collect anything.
So no matter who came, Xu Shiyan would always put in a good word and return the things to them.
"You Yu, Brother Xu will be happy if you come to our house during the Chinese New Year.
But no matter what you say, Brother Xu can't accept the things.
You also have elderly and children at home, so take things back and feed them to your family.
Don't worry, there will definitely be no problems at work. You just need to go to work with peace of mind, and we can talk about the rest."
Xu Shiyan said this, but the other party had no choice but to take the things and leave.
After they left, Xu Chenghou said that many people came to the house with things in the morning, and Xu Chenghou and his wife pushed them all.
Although the couple is older, they are not confused. This is related to their son's future, and they must not make this mistake.
This is the benefit of having a wealthy family. From the oldest to the youngest, the Xu family have all seen the world, and no one has such a shallow eyelid.
The family has a lot of money. Judging from the current assets of Xu Shiyan and his wife, they can count them even in the city and province.
They don't do anything in this life, just lying around and earning interest is enough for them, so there is really no need to accept anything from others.
If it were someone from a poor family, that would really not be the case.
Even if Xu Shiyan can stick to his principles, his family may not be able to do so.
"Well, that's good. Dad, Mom, and Yingzi will all remember it from now on.
Except for the victory and construction of this group of people, the rest, especially the other end of the field.
No matter who comes, no matter what they take, we can't accept it." Xu Shiyan nodded and told his family solemnly.
"Don't worry about this. We can't help you with anything else, but we certainly can't hold you back."
The old couple nodded solemnly and promised.
It is not easy for the third son to be where he is today, but the son's future cannot be ruined just because the two of them have a moment of confusion.
On the first day of the first lunar month, we spent time visiting relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings. On the second day of the first lunar month, all the Xu family brothers came back for a reunion.
Xu Shiqin and his wife were in Hubei Province this year and could not come back.
So the only ones who went home for reunion on the second day of the Lunar New Year were the Xu Shixian brothers.
Xu Shi'an was nearby and was the first to arrive. Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang arrived together in the coach, arriving a little later than Xu Shi'an.
Only Xu Shide lives in Xigang now. It's a long way there and it would be troublesome to come back once.
You have to walk from Xigang to the branch road of Yinshan Forest Farm, then take a bus to Xianren Bridge, and then take a train back from Xianren Bridge.
Otherwise, just walk from Xigang to the big house, then cross the river from the big house and walk towards Songjiang River.
After all, it is actually closer from the big house, but there is no traffic here, so we have to walk the whole way.
It's winter, and it's so tiring to take care of the kids.
On the night of the first day of the new year, Xu Shide called Xu Shiyan and discussed with him.
The family of four walked from Xigang to the big house, and Xu Shiyan drove to Jiang to pick them up.
In winter, the river is so frozen that it’s okay for people to walk over it.
When his younger brother and his family were coming back, of course Xu Shiyan had to pick them up, so he drove to the big house after dinner in the morning.
Xu Shiyan never crossed the river, nor did he go around the village. There are few people in the village who have a good relationship with him now.
Zhao Jianshe and Yang Chunming were the first to move out, followed by Li Erniu, Zhao Jianguo and others, including Uncle Li and Uncle Liu.
Last winter, when Wang Zhijun learned that Brother Li Daniu had earned so much money, he found a house in Donggang and moved there.
There really aren't any close friends here, and there's no need to go to the village to talk to others.
After waiting for a while by the river, Xu Shide and his wife arrived with their children.
"Fourth, it's over here."
A long way away, Xu Shiyan saw the family of four, so he lowered the car window and waved to the opposite side.
Xu Shide led his wife and children across the frozen river and quickly got into the car.
Xu Shiyan drove a jeep today, and the space was large enough. Besides, there were only four people in Xu Shide's family, so they could fully drive.
"Third brother, have you been waiting for a long time?
Oops, the naughty kid couldn't get up this morning, so he finally got out of the house after a long effort." Xu Shide got on the car and quickly explained a few words.
"It's okay. I didn't wait here for long. Haiyang and Jingyi are already seated. Let's go home."
Xu Shiyan smiled, started the car, and took Xu Shide's family of four back to Donggang.
At home, everyone else has arrived and is sitting on the kang chatting.
When I heard the sound of a car stopping outside, I knew it was Xu Shiyan and the others who were back.
"These dogs at home look really old. When we came back, we didn't see any movement from them."
There was only the sound of cars but no dogs barking. Xu Shixian couldn't help but sigh.
"Then the dog and our family Yuanyuan are both one year old. Yuanyuan is already 12 this year, so why is the dog not getting old?"
When Xu Chenghou heard this, he also sighed.
"But it's not like they are too old to move, those dogs are sensible.
Knowing that there are many people coming to the house during the Chinese New Year, they are just too lazy to move.
If a thief comes in at night, they can still tear the thief apart."
It is said that people become treacherous as they grow old, but dogs become shrewd as they get older.
These dogs have been in the Xu family for many years and have experienced a lot. Anyway, when the Chinese New Year comes, they just lie down in the den and no one bothers to talk to them.
On a normal day, if a stranger comes into the house, they will bark twice.
Just as Xu Chenghou was talking, Xu Shiyan and Xu Shide's family entered the house.
Xu Haiyang and Xu Jingyi came in and hurriedly gave New Year greetings to their grandparents and the rest of the family.
"Hey, okay, okay, everything is fine. Come, come to grandpa, grandpa has a red envelope."
The Chinese New Year is just for the children to have fun. The old man prepared a stack of red envelopes early just to coax the grandchildren.
When those few came in just now, they had already sent it. Now when brother and sister Xu Haiyang came in, they were naturally indispensable.
Xu Chenghou gave a red envelope, and over there Xu Shixian, Xu Shi'an, and Xu Shixiang also took out red envelopes and gave them to the children.
Now, Xu Haiyang is so happy that he likes to celebrate the New Year. When the Chinese New Year comes, he gets lucky money.
