Chapter 311: New year

China is a big country with thousands of years of history. Here, there is such a custom.
That is, for a certain period of time, the entire country will fall into a state of stagnation.
Factories are shut down, shops are closed, the government is stalled, the stock market cannot be traded, the rich drag their families to go overseas, and the poor are eager to exchange currency for food and clothing. Many families hang signs on both sides of their homes to express their appeals. Unattended children lit gunpowder everywhere to create explosions, and people who were supposed to work became idle, smoking, drinking, playing cards all day...
In this regard, the Chinese people collectively call it, New Year.
There is no need to mention the origin of the New Year. As the most grand festival in Chinese tradition, there is no one, and there is a festive atmosphere all over the country.
Tonight, January 20th, is New Year’s Eve.
"Son, are all the fruits ready?"
"Set it up."
"Post the couplet."
"All posted."
"Look at what else, wait for your uncle and they will all come over."
"It's all up."
Lin Fan was lying on the sofa like a dead dog. In his eyes, the cleaning of years ago was more tiring than fighting with Tove.
As for the uncles his mother said, Lin Fan didn't care.
As mentioned in the previous article, Lin Fan was a kind of disliked child since he was a child, and it has been the same up to now. He is a negative textbook in the family. He dropped out of junior high school and achieved nothing. These are the comments of his relatives.
It stands to reason that every Chinese New Year should be a festive day, but for Lin Fan in the past, Chinese New Year is a disaster day, which means that he will be cold-eyed by all relatives in the family, and more than once.
When talking about work and development every Chinese New Year, Lin Fan would silently hide away, for fear of bringing the topic to himself, but unfortunately, he has never been able to escape this predicament.
Yes, as a negative teaching material, how can he be less in comparison? People's self-esteem is derived from people who are weaker than themselves.
But this year, Lin Fan’s thoughts are different. The humiliation he has suffered for many years can finally be exaggerated. According to the practice that everyone comes to Yinnan to celebrate the New Year every year, Lin Fan has booked the largest box of the Kaibin Hotel early and is ready to invite everyone in Having a New Year's Eve dinner there, let everyone know that Lin Fan is not a waste of life.
There was a knock on the door, and Lin Fan ran to open the door.
"Cousin, here you are."
"Yeah." Zhang Meng nodded to Lin Fan, then he didn't look at it again, and walked straight into the house, "Auntie, Uncle, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Xiao Meng."
Zhang Meng is the child of Lin Fan's sister and Lin Fan's cousin.
To say that this Zhang Meng appeared once before, it was during the November holiday, when the playground had just been renovated for the first time. Zhang Meng took his girlfriend on the news and happened to see Lin Fan and the salesman of the loan company During the negotiation, he told his mother about Lin Fan's 30,000 loan.
In this society, there are families who love each other, as well as the kind of sisters who don’t know each other.
Lin's mother and Zhang Meng's mother, which is Lin Fan's second aunt, belong to the type that hardly communicates with each other. After learning that his nephew owed tens of thousands of yuan, Zhang Meng's mother did not offer to help. Also asked Zhang Meng not to say more, intending to embarrass this nephew at the New Year party.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is more than just not being close.
And Zhang Meng, he looked down on his cousin in his heart. Except when he was doing comparisons, he couldn't even think of Lin Fan as a person. Even now, he doesn't even bother to compare with his own cousin. Brother contrasted.
As a project manager of a large company, he over-completed a hard target task some time ago, and he can immediately become a project manager to be promoted to vice president. It is said that the quota has been down and he will be able to take up the position in the next year.
Lin Fan’s mother’s family has five brothers and sisters. Except for Zhang Meng’s mother, Lin Fan’s aunt works in the government and has very little contact. The second uncle and Lin Fan have similar family conditions, but the second uncle’s daughter is real. Committed to the spirit, I was admitted to Fudan University, and I could find a good job as soon as I returned to Yinnan after graduation.
It is said that the employment rate of college students is low, but that depends on what university and where.
After graduating from a second college, go to a first-tier city, and go to a third-tier city after graduating from a national key university. Can the treatment be the same? This is the reason why it is said that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
The benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom, and the choice of development depends on the individual, and other people have no right to intervene.
As for Lin Fan's eldest uncle, he is said to be the most promising person in the family. He left Yinnan City early and set up a world in Suhang City. It is said to be an amusement park that cooperated with the giant foreign company Disney.
Every year, Lin Fan's uncle will come back from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and his way of travel is not by air, but by car. Yes, he will return by car a few days in advance.
And the car you drive back is different every year, one is more high-end, and one is more expensive. This kind of display of Chi Guoguo can be seen by individuals.
When everyone was worried about deposits of tens of thousands of dollars, Uncle Lin Fan had already drove hundreds of thousands of BMWs. Until last year, he drove back a Mercedes-Benz worth more than 4 million yuan, which was really profitable. With full eyeballs, he almost didn't get to the sky.
Time passed, and Lin Fan's aunt had also arrived.
"Auntie, a good Chinese New Year."
"Xiao Fan has a good New Year." Compared with her second aunt, her attitude towards Lin Fan was much better.
"Isn't Big Brother here?"
"He's a bit busy, come over at dinner in the evening."
Brother Lin Fan, the child of the aunt's family, also works in the government, and some state-owned enterprises do not have holidays for the New Year.
Following Aunt Lin Fan, my younger uncle also brought things in. (Second uncle, also called uncle.)
"Happy new year, my uncle."
"Happy New Year."
During the Chinese New Year, the word happy new year is destined to be the opening remarks for everyone to meet.
"Cousin Happy New Year."
It was Lin Fan's cousin who was also the daughter of his uncle's family, Feng Xiao.
"I haven't seen him in a year, is it so beautiful?" Lin Fan petted Feng Xiao's head.
If the relationship is close, the cousin who has the best relationship with Lin Fan among all the relatives is this cousin. When everyone regards Lin Fan as a negative textbook, Feng Xiao still plays well with him, not to mention the difference in age between the two. Not big, there is no generation gap at all.
I still remember when I was in junior high school, when Lin Fan was in the third grade and Feng Xiao was in the first grade. Students at that age liked to bully the weak. Once Feng Xiao was bullied by a boy in the same class. Lin Fan rushed into their class without saying anything. He was notified by the whole school, and he was given a belt stew when he went home.
But since then no one in the whole school dared to bully Feng Xiao anymore, after all, Lin Fan was also known as the king of the school.
