I'm not really a god of rebirth

Chapter 183 Scenery
Here in my hometown, on the evening of the New Year's Eve, the men in the family will bring firecrackers, joss sticks, and yellow paper to the graves to invite the ancestors to go home for the New Year.

It is quite a solemn ceremony.

Dad was holding a straw basket filled with yellow paper joss sticks, my second uncle was carrying two straw baskets containing more than twenty thunderbolts, and Li Dong was also carrying two straw baskets containing ten whole trays of firecrackers.

Grandpa three went out.

The cemetery in the village is at the foot of the back mountain. After leaving the village, walk 800 meters along the path.

Along the way, many neighbors invited their ancestors home for the New Year.

Some families are prosperous, with more than a dozen families, and four generations of grandparents and grandchildren go together. It is mighty and lively.

Some people go alone with a small number of people, lonely.

There are even some whose roots have been cut off, and there is no one to invite them.

Dad's thinking is still somewhat traditional, and he is very envious of those prosperous families.

I didn't do much before, after all, I was poor, and I only thought about earning money to support my family, so I didn't have the heart to think about these things.

But now it's different.

After having money, the material aspects are satisfied, and he has enough face in the village, so my father started to pursue spiritual aspects.

Just like Maslow's theory of fivefold needs.

But Dad obviously has more needs than Maslow.

During this time, my dad nagged my second uncle more than once, asking my second uncle to have a second or even third child.

Give birth to two children.

How about a girl.

You don't have to worry about overtime fines.

Now that you have money, you can be punished casually.

Looking at other people's houses on the road, my father started nagging again.

The second uncle just smiled silly, saying that a girl is fine, why do you need so much.

Let my father be very angry, saying that when he gets old, he won't even have a pensioner.

Li Dong said that he gave his second uncle a pension.

He successfully attracted the firepower to himself.

Dad said that he and Hu Yue are both older, and have met Hu Yue's parents, so it should be settled. It happens that Hu Yue will graduate next year, and as soon as he graduates, he will get married, and then quickly give birth to him. Great grandson.

After thinking about it, I said that there is no need to wait until half a year later, and I have to hurry up now.

Let Li Dong stop doing US stocks all the time at night and do something serious.

He brought up a bunch of reasons again, saying what is the use of earning so much money, no one in the family, who will spend the earned money?

He also brought out a big family in the village as an example, saying that Li Dong's fourth grandfather had seven sons, more than a dozen grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Although Li Dong was not as rich as him, no one in the village thought highly of him. Grandpa glance?That is the famous family in the village.

Li Dong was speechless.

Just as he was talking, the fourth grandpa's family came up from behind.

The fourth grandfather, who is nearly [-] years old, led the way, followed by his son, grandson, and great-grandson.

After meeting and saying hello, seeing Li Dong and his uncle's hands full of firecrackers, and looking at the poor firecrackers in his own hand, Fourth Grandpa said to Li Dong's father without envy To put it bluntly, Li Dong is promising. Since he was a child, he thought that Li Dong was an unusual kid, and he would be promising when he grew up. He was right.

Dad was proud of himself, and he still said a few polite words.

When we arrived at the tomb and separated from the Fourth Grandfather's family, Li Dong spread firecrackers on the ground while telling his father, "You envy my family for having many descendants, and they envy us for being rich."

Dad said: I have two money to give you a good deal, and I won’t have a grandson next year, so let’s see how to deal with you.

Li Dong and his second uncle looked at each other and smiled wryly.

The firecrackers and firecrackers were set up, and the yellow paper was also burned on Dad's side.

Li Dong and his second uncle started setting off firecrackers.

Ten thousand firecrackers and more than 10 thunderbolts were set off for nearly [-] minutes.

In the entire cemetery, Dong Li's family put more.

The fourth grandpa and the others who came together have already finished releasing, and half of Li Dong's house has not been released yet.

Fourth Grandpa and the others looked at Li Dong's family with envy.

Just like the saying: When you are envious of others, others are also envious of you.

After setting off the firecrackers, Li Dong kowtowed three times in front of the grave with his father and uncle, and then his father shouted at the top of his voice: "All the ancestors go home for the New Year."

This sound was louder than ever before.

Everyone can hear clearly.

At this moment, Dad was in high spirits.

…………

After inviting the ancestors, when I got home, I invited the God of Wealth again.

Mom and aunt have prepared a table full of food and wine, and the altar table is also full of rich tributes.

Before dinner, another firecracker was set off as usual.

This time, more firecrackers were set off. More than half of the 10,000+ firecrackers were set off for more than an hour.

There are a total of hundreds of households in the village, and they all heard the continuous sound of firecrackers from Dong Li's house. Almost every family was discussing that Dong Li's house was quite lively this year.

Dad was very happy, and made an exception to drink a few glasses of wine given by Mr. Hu, regardless of the doctor's orders.

Li Dong and the second uncle were even more open-minded. One pot of wine was not enough, so they each drank a bottle of national wine.

The family is eating, drinking, and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

In past and present lives, this is the happiest New Year's Eve that Li Dong has ever had.

Probably the happiest New Year's Eve ever spent by my parents, uncles and aunts.

As for Li Xixi, who is ignorant and ignorant, she is very happy every New Year's Eve, and she doesn't feel any difference this year.

It's nothing more than that there are a lot of things on the dinner table that she hasn't eaten before, there are more candies than before, and there are more lucky money.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, after eating the big dumplings, that the family squinted indiscriminately.

But Li Dong was a little bit bitter.

After twelve o'clock, his cell phone never stopped.

Many people sent him New Year's greetings text messages.

He also sent a group of New Year greeting messages.

And that's not all, first I called Hu Yue for New Year's greetings.

Hu Yue was at the old man's side, and her parents were also there, watching the New Year's Eve until midnight.

Li Dong wished the old man, Hu Yue's parents, and Hu Chen one by one on the phone.

An hour passed before I knew it.

Just as he hung up the phone and was about to take a nap, Ye Qingyun called him again.

Ye Qingyun drank too much when he heard that voice.

Fei dragged Li Dong to chat with her.

Li Dong chatted with her in a daze for more than an hour, and passed away without hanging up the phone.

When I woke up in the morning, the phone was still on, and I could even hear Ye Qingyun's panting.

Li Dong smiled helplessly before hanging up the phone.

Then just after hanging up the phone, He Na called him again.

I asked him what he was doing last night, and called him several times, all on the phone.

Li Dong had no choice but to lie to her that he fell asleep on the phone with Hu Yue.

He Na didn't ask any more questions, and hung up after chatting briefly.

Within a few minutes, Wang Xiaowei called him again.

Seeing that it was Wang Xiaowei's call, Li Dong hesitated for a long time before answering it.

After connecting, neither of them knew what to say.

After a long silence, Wang Xiaowei finally said Happy Chinese New Year.

Li Dong also replied Happy Chinese New Year, and then asked, how is she now?

Wang Xiaowei said it was pretty good.

Li Dong asked her where she spent the New Year.

Wang Xiaowei said that she was alone in Yuncheng.

Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and asked why she didn't go back to her hometown.

Wang Xiaowei didn't answer, but asked him if Hu Yue celebrated the New Year with him.

Li Dong said that the two are not married yet, so why would Hu Yue come to his house for the New Year.

Wang Xiaowei asked when she would get married again.

Li Dong said it was still undecided.

Wang Xiaowei was silent for a while, and then said that when the two got married, she must be informed that she wanted to attend their wedding.

Li Dong said yes.

Wang Xiaowei just hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Li Dong felt a little melancholy for no reason.

He actually wanted to ask Wang Xiaowei why she wanted to be with Fang Yunzhong.

But after all, he didn't open his mouth.

After eating breakfast and changing into brand new clothes, Li Dong went out to celebrate the New Year with his father and uncle.

My mother stayed at home and had to entertain those who came to pay New Year's greetings.

On the street, there are groups of people who get up early and come out to pay New Year's greetings.

Regardless of how the year went, on the first day of the new year, everyone put on new clothes and went out with smiles on their faces.

When we met, we said happy Chinese New Year, and then exchanged a few pleasantries.

Dad took Li Dong and his uncle to the homes of several elders in the village to pay New Year's greetings one by one.

The process is fixed every year.

But this year is obviously different from previous years.

In previous years, when Li Dong's father and uncle entered the homes of those elders, it can't be said that they were left out in the cold. Anyway, the main family didn't pay much attention.

When there were few people, those elders simply exchanged greetings with Li Dong's father, asking him how he was doing this year, how Li Dong was going to school and work, smoking a cigarette, drinking tea, and that was it.

When there are too many people, Li Dong's father and second uncle are directly ignored. They sit in the corner and can't even get in a word. No one paid any attention to my father and second uncle.

But this year, no matter which house the father and second uncle enter, they are the protagonists who will do their part.

The elders of the host will politely let the father sit in the main seat. If there is someone sitting in the main seat, that person will take the initiative to get up and give it to the father.

Then, the whole room surrounded the father and the second uncle, chatting with all kinds of compliments, and people kept passing cigarettes and tea.

The treatment is worlds apart.

Human feelings are warm and cold, but that's all.

Li Dong didn't put on an air of aloofness and aloofness. Instead, he chatted with these elders and neighbors in a polite and friendly manner.

Some people praised him for being promising, some people asked him how much he earned a year, and some people asked him when he got married.

There are those who are envious and those who are jealous.

Li Dong was very humble, saying that he didn't make any money, and that it was all outsiders talking nonsense.

But the cigarettes taken out by others are worth several cigarettes in one box.

A few young people who came back from the city even recognized the clothes Li Dong, his father, and his second uncle were wearing.

They are all high-end goods costing thousands or tens of thousands of pieces.

Immediately amazed.

After walking all morning, Li Dong's legs were sore and his brain was buzzing.

But Dad and Second Uncle are not tired at all.

This kind of treatment is full of stars and moons every time I go to a house, and my ears are full of compliments and envy, which makes the two brothers enjoy it very much. Both are full of energy, can't stop working hard, and are not tired at all. If my mother hadn't called and said that many people in the family were waiting there, the two of them still didn't want to go home.

When I got home, there were already a lot of people sitting in the house.

They were all close relatives, who had some reputation in the village, and came to pay New Year's greetings, and then my mother kept them here for lunch at noon.

Those people readily agreed.

In the past, Dong Li's family did not have this tradition.

Not to mention that it costs a lot to entertain a meal, the main reason is that few people come to Li Dong's house to pay New Year's greetings.

There are a lot of people visiting the New Year this year, people from far and near have come, and when my mother is happy, she keeps people here.

Dad was also very happy, he quickly greeted people to sit down, and asked Li Dong to bring out two boxes of good wine, and the dishes were already prepared.

Li Dong’s cigarettes, wine, and tea are all high-end products. The neighbors and relatives in the village can’t say that they have never eaten or drank, but they are definitely not like today. A pack of cigarettes worth a hundred yuan is free to smoke.

These neighbors and folks who got cheap, naturally did not hesitate to praise them.

Mom and Dad are happy, and Li Dong is also happy.

After drinking the wine until it was dark, those people staggered away.

On the second day of junior high school, Li Dong drove to Hanjia Village with his parents, uncles and aunts Li Xixi.

Dad's three uncles are all in this village. Every year on the second day of junior high school, Dad will come to pay New Year's greetings to the three uncles, and then have lunch at the uncle's house.

Dad's uncle, that is, the father of Li Dong's cousin.

In the previous life, because of his affair with Han Jia, my father's uncle wouldn't let him in. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he kicked him out in a daze.

In the end, the third uncle couldn't stand it anymore, so he took their family to the third uncle's house for dinner.

Li Dong was very angry when he thought of these things in his previous life, and he didn't want to come.

But these things didn't happen in this life, and my father still respects his uncle very much, so there is really no reason for Li Dong not to come.

Dad's second uncle and third uncle also came, the two children of the uncle's family, Li Dong's cousin, and a cousin, both families came here.The cousin of the second uncle's family came over, and a cousin married to another place, but did not come.A little cousin of the third uncle's family is only one year older than Li Dong. He just got married last year and brought his new wife.

As soon as Li Dong and the others arrived, the whole family came out to welcome them.

Even Dad's uncle came out to greet him in person.

The treatment is obviously different from before.

Obviously, the family knew about Li Dong's fortune.

After seeing Li Dong's Audi, many people showed envious eyes.

When Li Dong got out of the car with his father, his uncle came up and asked first: This car is very good, does it cost a lot of money?
Dad laughed, and said politely: "It's okay, dizziness while sitting, it's not as comfortable as three wheels."

The amusing crowd laughed, and the second uncle even teased Dad, saying that he is poor and can't enjoy the blessings.

Li Dong is a junior, so he consciously follows at the end.

There was a tap on the shoulder.

Looking back, it was Han Chunlei, the cousin of my father's third uncle's family.

Han Chunlei is one year older than Li Dong, one grade higher than Li Dong in high school, and has a good relationship with Li Dong.

Like his father, Han Chunlei has a loyal personality, even a little cowardly. When he was in high school, some sports students often bullied him. Li Dong knew about it, so he went to the classroom of the upper grades by himself and beat those few The sports student was beaten up.

Since then, Han Chunlei has had a good relationship with him.

Since then, Li Dong's reputation has resounded throughout the high school.

Li Dong was very happy to see Han Chunlei again.

However, after seeing the woman next to Han Chunlei, Li Dong was stunned.
