Hao Liang heard Meng Mengdi said that Zhang Fei had ordered a lot of fireworks this year, and he asked quickly, afraid that Meng Mengdi would buy a lot of fireworks if his mind got hot.

"You didn't order it, did you? She does this every year. Her fireworks will take a long time. If you order it, you will return it."

"I don't have one. Just go to Zhang Fei's house to see it tomorrow. If you set off so many fireworks, you won't be told that I don't know how to live."

"Well, that's good, let's sit and rest for a while." Hao Liang said with a sigh of relief.

Although Hao Liang is rich now, he doesn't want to show it off in the village, so as not to be gossiped by the villagers.

On the eve of the New Year's Eve, it was still the same as last year, having spent the year at Hao Liang's house.Before doing the worship, Meng Mengdi helped Hao Liang's mother over.

I don't know if it's because of the Chinese New Year. Hao Liang's mother has rarely woken up these few days, and followed Meng Mengdi to Hao Liang's house.

Seeing that the uncle was already there, Hao Liang's mother walked up to the uncle and whispered. "His uncle, when the second child calls for someone, let him call the eldest child."

"Oh! I know, I will tell Ah Liang, don't be sad, fortunately there is Ah Liang, he is also promising. Now it is good for you."

Hao Liang's mother didn't reply when she heard what the uncle said, but stood quietly aside.His face was still full of sadness.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Hao Liang's mother didn't say a word, and carefully held the food in front of her with the bowl.

Meng Mengdi looked at Hao Liang's mother's appearance now, so she picked up other dishes and put them in front of Hao Liang's mother.But did not say a word.

Zhang Fei, who used to be chatty, also became quiet when he saw this scene.The whole New Year's Eve dinner was a bit weird.

Fortunately, Hao Liang's mother may also feel embarrassed staying here, so she finished her meal quickly and said to Hao Liang.

"Second, I'll go back after I've finished eating. Can you visit your father's grave tomorrow morning? You haven't been there yet."

"Well! I will go tomorrow." Hao Liang shook his chopsticks and said.

"Mengmeng, I used to be a bad mother-in-law, thank you. You are a good boy. I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, Hao Liang's mother left Hao Liang's house and went back to her old house.

After the uncle sighed, he said a few words, and the atmosphere recovered.Especially Zhang Fei, who was chattering non-stop, as if he was suffocated.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the uncle gave each of Hao Liang's three juniors a red envelope and said to Meng Mengdi.

"Mengmeng, you are here this year, remember to invite Lord Stove later. Uncle, I will go back first."

"Oh, I'll invite you later. I've got things ready too."

"Well, then I'll go back." Said the uncle and left.

As soon as Ji Wing saw his uncle leaving, he quickly followed without stopping for a moment.Meng Mengdi yelled chicken wings twice, without even turning her head.

"Hao Liang, this chicken wing is too heartless. I've raised it for so long, but it's been a few days since I came back and left with my uncle." Meng Mengdi said a little depressed.

"You want to see whose breed, how many times Wangcai has run away, and tell you that this dog looks good. It's better to roast them in soy sauce."

"Mengmeng, let's go, don't worry about that dead dog, go to my house to set off fireworks, the children are waiting anxiously."

When Meng Mengdi heard Zhang Fei asking her to set off the fireworks, she said to Hao Liang, "Hao Liang, let's go to set off the fireworks together."

"I'm staying at home to watch the New Year's Eve, so I won't go. Please invite the Stove Lord before you go."

When Meng Mengdi heard that Hao Liang asked her to invite the Stove Lord before setting off fireworks with Zhang Fei, she said to Zhang Fei. "Zhang Fei, wait for me, I'll go pay my respects and I'll be fine soon."

"Then hurry up." Zhang Fei replied, sat on the stool and knocked the melon seeds.

Meng Mengdi was very fast, and within a short while invited the Stove Lord, she came out and said to Hao Liang.

"Hao Liang, I went to set off fireworks with Zhang Fei, you really don't want to go."

"No, you go, remember to come back early."

"Mengmeng, Hao Liang doesn't mind if he doesn't go, it's the same every year, come with me quickly, let me tell you, these fireworks look beautiful when they are set off."

"Then I'm leaving. If I had known earlier, I would have bought more and put them at home."

Before Meng Mengdi finished speaking, Zhang Fei dragged her away. Hao Liang sat in the living room and watched with the TV remote control.

I thought that no one would come to his house, and for some reason, Hao Liang's family came one after another with young people from the village who played with him when he was a child.

Hao Liang took out a cigarette and handed it over and asked, "Why are you guys here? You're not going to play cards anymore."

"What kind of cards are you playing? Gambling was not allowed last year. This year, even mahjong is not allowed. You can only go shopping. Do you want to go to the market with us to play?" one of them asked.

"What's interesting in the city. By the way, where are you working now?"

"The two of us are at the construction site, and we haven't received any wages this year. We came back naked, and plan not to go out next year. We have leased land in the village and planted grapes. Hao Liang, we came here to ask you whether you want to rent the vacant land."

"The land of our house, you have to ask my uncle. I really don't know."

"Okay, then let's go first. After the Chinese New Year, let's go to your uncle's house and ask. Let's ride a motorcycle downtown for a while."

"Then pay attention to your safety on the road." Hao Liang told him.

Seeing the people leaving, Hao Liang sat back on the stool and started watching TV.Originally, Hao Liang did not have a good relationship with these peers in the village.

Mainly when he was a child, Hao Liang had to help with the work. When his parents saw someone coming to play with him, they would scold them away, and no one would play with him after coming and going.

After Meng Mengdi and Zhang Fei left Hao Liang's house, Zhang Fei opened the red envelope given by his uncle and said to Meng Mengdi.

"Mengmeng, this year my dad is really generous. He gave me two hundred lucky money. It really makes a difference with you here. See how much you have."

When Meng Mengdi heard Zhang Fei's words, Meng Mengdi also took out the red envelope, opened it and looked inside.Just put it away.

"Mengmeng, how many do you have?"

"I won't tell you." Meng Mengdi said as she stuffed the red envelope into her trouser pocket.

"No, you must have more than me. According to your Chinese customs, you must have a lot of red envelopes in the first year. I have asked. Tell me how much." Zhang Fei asked Meng Mengdi.

"Two thousand, why are you asking about this?"

"Two thousand, ten times mine. This is too unfair. If you still have to find a Chinese husband." Zhang Fei said enviously.

"Zhang Fei, why are you a foreigner looking for us Chinese men?"

"It's good to find a Chinese husband. There are betrothal gifts, red envelopes, and a mother-in-law who will take care of you when you have a child. I have already inquired about it, and now your betrothal gifts are 18. It is more expensive than when I first came. You say I’ll wait a few more years to see if the price will increase again.”

"Then don't you know that the dowry will be doubled?" Meng Mengdi said angrily.

"I know, the main thing is that the men on your side don't care about the money, and I will take care of the dowry money in the future. What a bargain. The mother-in-law will also give hardware." Zhang Fei said with a look of longing.

Looking at her, she wished she could find a Chinese husband right away, so that she could ask for red envelopes openly.

Listening to Zhang Fei chattering about how much bride price she would receive, Meng Mengdi arrived at Zhang Fei's house.

The children in the village have gathered at Zhang Fei's house for a long time, and this year there are more single young people in the village.

"Aunt Zhang Fei, are you going to set off the fireworks now?" A child asked Zhang Fei when he saw Zhang Fei came back.

"Let it go, I will set off the fireworks when I come back. Are all the children from the village here?" Zhang Fei asked, wiping the children's heads.

"Come on, I'm the first to come here." Another child replied.

"Then help me move all the fireworks out. We set them all off."

As Zhang Fei said, he walked to the door of his yard, and after opening the door, he asked the children in the village to help carry the fireworks.

At this time, the village head and the secretary who were on patrol came over. Seeing that Zhang Fei's house was very lively, they said to Zhang Fei who was directing the children in the village to carry the fireworks.

"Zhang Fei, you are going to set off fireworks again, making a big show."

"Isn't that right? I have to set off the fireworks every year. Secretary of the village chief, why don't you leave after watching it. I bought more than last year. Come to smoke a cigarette. I bought it specially for the fireworks."

"You foreigner is really rich, and you use Zhonghua cigarettes to light fireworks. After you come, our village will be the most lively on your side." The village chief said, taking the cigarettes handed over by Zhang Fei.
