On New Year's Eve, thousands of families are reunited and thousands of lights are on.
Sanbo brought the wine that Xue Cong gave him, and said mysteriously: "A Cong brought this back from the winery abroad. I heard that there are only three or four bottles. He gave me such a bottle. It is a gift for a more than ten-year-old winery."
Red wine."
"Yo!" Xue Ling blinked and exclaimed: "Lafite from 1982!"
The third uncle squinted his eyes and laughed: "Ghost! It's Lafite red wine!"
Xue Heng and Xue Huan both studied abroad, so naturally they could drink red wine, so they helped open it, half a glass each.
Sanbo couldn't help but whisper: "My blood pressure is normal, and my blood lipids and blood sugar are also normal."
"Give you a little more." Xue Huan said with a smile: "No wonder ninety is like three years old. Third uncle now has to be coaxed like a child."
Everyone laughed.
The third uncle said dissatisfiedly: "After the New Year, I am only eighty-eight!"
Xue Ling said seriously: "So there is still a difference of two years and only three years."
Everyone laughed.
Everything that comes out of the steamer is hot.
Everyone ate happily, and the third uncle was the happiest.
"The weather is very cold, and many things are cold as soon as they are served. I am old and don't like cold food, and I have no appetite no matter how hungry I am. This big steamer is great! Everything is steaming hot when served."
"This little kerosene stove is also very good!" Xue Huan said: "It's just like eating hot pot, it's as hot as hot pot."
Cheng Tianyuan explained with a smile: "When I was in Rongcheng, it was occasionally very cold in winter. It was south of the Yangtze River and there was no heating system. When eating, I was afraid of things getting cold, so I used a small carbon stove or a small kerosene stove.
.”
Xue Heng gnawed on the goose leg and muttered: "This is very fresh! It's delicious!"
"Slow down." Xue Ling said funnyly: "No one is trying to rob you! Look at you! You look like a starving ghost!"
"Shut up!" Xue Heng snorted: "On New Year's Day, you can't say unlucky words!"
Xue Ling was too lazy to care about him and just ate by himself.
Cheng Tianyuan gave her a piece of goosefoot, and then gave San Bo some hot soup.
The third uncle thanked him and said to Xue Huan: "I have to go to the old house early tomorrow morning and wait for everyone to come and pay homage to the ancestors. I have bought all the things in the morning and cleaned them."
"Okay!" Xue Huan whispered: "You call me tomorrow."
Cheng Tianyuan said hurriedly: "Uncle San, I will cook some millet porridge tomorrow morning. Remember to come over and drink it then."
"Okay." The third uncle nodded: "Anyway, I'm going to bother you enough in the past few days, so I won't be polite."
Everyone laughed.
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "San Bo, how is cousin Ah Cong doing lately? I heard Ah Fang said that she went to study."
"Yes." Sanbo explained: "After she and her husband came back from abroad, they stayed for a while and then went to study for a month. I heard that they went to the south to study the organizational work of a TV station. I didn't ask about the specifics."
Cheng Tianyuan put down the bowl and said: "Sister Ah Cong came the day before yesterday. She was originally going to visit her parents. Unexpectedly, her parents went to the South Island half a month ago. My parents and Uncle Zhilan were not here, and the four children were not there either.
I wasn't here, and the house was deserted. I stayed with her for dinner, but she politely said no, and then she put down the New Year gifts for her parents and left. At that time, Sister Achun happened to bring some warm rice dumplings over. I gave them to her.
I gave it to her and gave her a jar of pickles made by my mother."
“Oh!”
"You just focus on making money!" Xue Heng said with a sour tone: "Earn so much money - you are the richest woman in the imperial capital, there is no doubt about it."
Xue Ling chuckled and shook his head: "There is no such thing as the richest man. Wealth, like people, is constantly changing. I am just a pioneer, but not a peak person."
Sanbo smiled gently and said: "Very good, very good! No matter whether you can be the top or not, you still have to work hard! Everything will be lost. Except for the accumulation of age year by year, everything else seems to be passing away."
"Work hard!" Xue Heng said: "With Lingling taking care of me, I have made a lot this year! Over the years, this is the year I have made the most! My parents are in good health and my mother has retired. Now we two brothers have stable jobs.
, A Fang is also stable, and everything is developing in a good direction."
"Yes!" Xue Huan didn't know what he thought of and laughed softly: "This year has been quite fruitful. The work has improved, the position has been promoted, and the achievements of scientific research projects have also increased. And... in short, the harvest is not good.
few!"
The other people looked at each other and asked with a smile: "What else is there? Why don't you say anything?"
Xue Huan's handsome face turned slightly red and he whispered: "It's not time yet."
Everyone laughed. Except for Xue Ling, everyone else looked curious.
The third uncle was the most open-minded and patted him on the shoulder: "When the time comes, remember to bring it to everyone to meet and get to know each other."
"...Yeah." Xue Huan nodded.
Xue Heng did not question his brother, thinking that it was too late.
"I have to meet a beautiful woman this year, and I will meet a beautiful woman next year! Come on!"
Xue Huan chuckled.
Cheng Tianyuan chuckled and said: "The elderly are healthy and can travel everywhere. We couldn't be happier. The children are growing up day by day. Xiaoxin and Xiao Chong are both sixteen months old. The elderly and children are healthy and happy, even the oldest
of satisfaction.”
"Business is good, isn't it?" San Bo asked.
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "They are all old customers, and the customer base is stable. This year's goods were unstable for a while, and then I found two new sources of goods. I earned a little less than before, but my income is very stable."
"Stability is good." Sanbo smiled and said, "You take care of your family more."
Xue Lingze also summed up a few words: "I am going well, both at home and at work, but I am too busy and my body is a little overwhelmed. I will relax a little next year and spend time with the elderly and children."
"Put it down!" Xue Heng laughed: "As long as you have money, how can you relax! Your new company has just been established and you have more work, how can you relax?"
Xue Ling shrugged: "The new company does not require me to be busy much. After the New Year, the price of jeans will definitely decrease. After the summer, the peak period will officially end, and our volume will be reduced by then. We will all be relaxed in the second half of the year.
If you have more, you will earn less.”
Xue Heng, however, still had confidence and whispered: "Didn't you already have someone redesign it?"
"There has been no innovation in fabrics." Xue Ling explained: "Innovation in style is just trying not to retreat and strive to move forward, but it will not last long. In the next few months of this year, there will be more than a dozen small clothing factories outside the Imperial Capital alone.
Started making denim series. Although the market is big, you can't beat the fact that there are too many people competing with us. We try our best to innovate, but we will still be eliminated. This is inevitable. I guess we can last until the end of next year at most, after the New Year.
Maybe it won’t work.”
"Alas..." Xue Heng sighed: "People of the older generation used to say that it takes three years to get new, three years to get old, and another three years to mend. Our denim is so tough and thick, but it can't last three years."
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
But San Bo was very calm and said: "Now that there are more fabrics and more styles on the market, you don't have to worry about wearing shabby clothes at all. I used to worry about not having enough to eat, but now I only need to eat what I want. Life has really gotten better.
There are too many! If this doesn’t work, just switch to something else. In the past, Awu always made different styles, and if the quality was good, you could still make some profit. The factory is its own, so there is no rent, and you have savings.
No need to put so much pressure on it.”
Cheng Tianyuan nodded in agreement: "That's the truth."
Xue Huan raised his cup and said with a smile: "Okay, let's summarize the past and look forward to the future! I wish you will continue to make money next year! I wish Sanbo good health!"
