Reborn since 2005

Chapter 540 Echoes
After coming down from the mountain, the family did not have much other activities. They just got together to play cards until dark. Then they cooked rice and took some leftover dishes from lunch. They poured them all into a pot and heated them up. A hodgepodge.

It tastes quite delicious.

After dinner, people set off fireworks one after another outside, and Yan Xin and Bai Xiaoling also brought several fireworks and salutes out from the house.

First, a 24-gun salute was fired.

Before she finished playing, Bai Xiaoling pointed to the east and asked Yan Xin excitedly:
"Brother, look, is my sister-in-law's house setting off a salute over there?"

In the direction of her finger, colorful salutes were rising into the sky, making a loud noise.

Looking from here during the day, you can barely see the outline of Feng Xi's large villa, but you can't see it clearly at night.

But that area is indeed the area belonging to Feng Xi's family.

Yan Xin stood here looking over there, and suddenly thought, is Feng Xi over there looking over here?
After the salute over there was finished, he decisively set off a big firework.

With the crackling sound, the fireworks bloomed, brightening half of the night sky.

This was a fireworks worth more than 300 yuan. It was very beautiful when it was set off. He suddenly became the most handsome boy in the village and attracted the attention of those who came out to watch the fireworks.

Bai Xiaoling took out her mobile phone and took photos, praising while taking pictures: "It's so beautiful!"

After the fireworks were set off, a bright firework also rose on the other side of the Feng family.

It's like a response to Yan Xin, the firework.

After the fireworks over there bloomed, the ones over the Yan family rose again.

Just like that, you and I set off a dozen fireworks in one breath, and 2000 yuan turned into ashes.

However, Yan Xin was really happy.

Bai Xiaoling was even more excited and shouted.

This time it was not just his family that was setting off fireworks, but also a fireworks display together with the Feng family in the east of the village, on this New Year's Eve night sky.

Even Yan's father and Wu Xiuhong, who were in pain at first, gradually started to smile when they saw their children happy.

I think this is also very good.

Although some money is consumed, it is enough to have such happiness and excitement.

In this life, people can only live by money.

Isn’t making money just for spending it?
They feel that when the children want to buy fireworks for the Chinese New Year next year, they should not stop them.

As long as they have the ability to make more money, they can set off more fireworks.

——It is also because of the improvement of material conditions that they realize that spending money to buy happiness is also a very reasonable thing.

After setting off the fireworks, Yan Xin received a message from Feng Xi: "I set off the fireworks just now. Did you see them?"

Yan Xin: "I saw it. I saw it when the salute was fired."

Feng Xi: "I saw your house setting off a salute, and then I fired it off."

Yan Xin: "I can guess it."

Feng Xi: "I really want to see you at this time."

Yan Xin: "Me too."

From the moment he saw the salute being fired over there, Yan Xin had Feng Xi in his mind.

When the two sides took turns setting off fireworks, he just imagined Feng Xi setting off fireworks over there.

I really want to see her.

However, today is New Year's Eve. According to the custom here, Feng Xi, an unmarried daughter, can only stay at home.

New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion. It is not a day for going out to visit relatives and friends. You can only stay at home and watch the New Year.

Feng Xi: "I want to spend the New Year with you next year."

Yan Xin was startled and thought, should she spend the New Year at my house regardless of the ridicule of the whole village?

Just as he was thinking about how to reply, Feng Xi sent another message:
"Yan Xin, let's get married next year!"

Feng Xi celebrated his twentieth birthday a month ago.

In more than a month, it will be Yan Xin's 22nd birthday.

In terms of age, it is indeed possible to get married.

Although Yan Xin felt that the news came too suddenly, he did not hesitate and replied:
"Okay! We'll get married next year!"

He has several women at the same time, but everyone has reached a consensus on who he should marry in the future, and there will basically be no changes.

And he himself doesn't want any changes - it's rare for everyone to accept such a consensus. If this consensus fades, there will definitely be great disturbances in his emotional world.

He is a person who doesn't like trouble. He is content with the status quo and thinks this is enough.

Since you will marry Feng Xi sooner or later, it doesn't matter if you get married sooner.

Feng Xi: "Then it's settled. See you tomorrow, husband!"

Yan Xin also replied: "Wife, see you tomorrow!"

Today is the New Year's Eve, which is not suitable for us to be together, but tomorrow will be different. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Yan Xin was Feng Xi's partner. This was officially announced on National Day and was recognized by both parents.

On the first day of the new year, both emotionally and rationally, Yan Xin should go to Feng's house to pay New Year's greetings.

As for whether Feng Xi can be brought home, that is another matter.

You can take her home, or you can stay at her house for a night.

Feng Xi is not very strong at home now, but at least he can be his own boss.

Whatever she wants, no one can stop her.

After replying a few messages, I followed Bai Xiaoling into her parents' bedroom and watched TV with them.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve has become a new tradition.

At this time, the Spring Festival Gala has not started yet, but the TV has been turned on. There is an air conditioner in the room, but it is not turned on. The couple is still reluctant to pay the electricity bill.

But there is a coal stove for warming up the fire.

There was a table above the stove, and a fruit plate with fruits and snacks on it.

You can sit around the table, watch TV and eat snacks.

Of course, you can also play cards.

The biggest purpose of setting up this table is to play cards.

In fact, not many people like the Spring Festival Gala anymore. In the minds of many people, it is not as happy as playing cards together as a family.

When playing cards and watching TV at the same time, if you encounter an exciting program, you can stop the game and watch it, and then continue playing after watching it.

There is a deck of cards on the table.

As soon as Bai Xiaoling saw it, she grabbed the position facing the TV with a smile on her face.

In this way, playing cards will not hinder her from watching TV.

Yan Xin, however, didn't have much interest in the Spring Festival Gala and chose to sit with his back to the TV.

Sitting on both sides were naturally Dad Yan and Wu Xiuhong.

The four of them had a deck of cards and started playing to the accompaniment of the TV.

There are losers and winners.

In general, Yan Xin alone loses and the other three win.

Of course, it's not that his poker skills are poor, but that he deliberately let his guard down.

During the Chinese New Year, it is best to make your family happy.

It's not like losing to others, this is called keeping the money from others.

The fight was not big, and the winning or losing was only a few thousand dollars, so he really didn't care.

While playing cards, he also responded to greetings from some QQ friends.

Feng Xi told him that he was now fighting landlords with his brother and sister-in-law.

He also told Feng Xi that his family was playing cards.

Ai Lili, who was far away in Yangcheng, sent a message, saying that she was celebrating the New Year with her mother. It felt like the streets had become a lot deserted these days.

Xiaorong Town's industrial development is quite rapid, and there are many migrant workers.The immigrant population is much larger than the local population.

During the Chinese New Year, many working people go back to their hometowns, so the place naturally becomes deserted.

Yan Xin told her some things about his family's New Year celebrations.

Ai Lili was a little envious, and her words revealed the same meaning - she wanted to spend the New Year with Yan Xin.

Yan Xin couldn't keep his words to death, he could only say that there would be a chance.

Xiao Shiyu also sent a message.

She had returned home earlier and was now celebrating the New Year with her family. She knew that Yan Xin had gone home, but she also knew that Feng Xi had gone home with him, so she did not come over.

She is very conscious in this regard.

This time is also a greeting on New Year's Eve.

Gu Ru, who was far away in the United States and was waiting to give birth to a child, also sent him a message on New Year's Eve, saying holiday greetings.

Chen Li also sent a message.

This year, he did not choose to go home for the New Year. He had very little affection for his family, so he stayed alone in Yangcheng, enjoying the rare free time.

Liang Wei did not spend the New Year with him in Yangcheng. Instead, under his persuasion, she took her son back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year.

Why should she be persuaded to return to her parents' home? Of course it is for the sake of a free and happy life.

Even if it is only for a few days, it will be good for Chen Li.

In the message he sent to Yan Xin, he revealed that he was currently celebrating the New Year with several beautiful ladies.

Yan Xin could only tell him to pay attention to his health and not to overdraw himself or get sick.

In addition, there are also New Year greeting messages sent by some company executives, including from Starlight Entertainment Company, Jinxi E-commerce Company, and Fengxiang Real Estate Company.

These also need to be answered.

Bai Xiaoling is not idle either, and she has to reply to messages from several friends from time to time.

Some friends asked her to go out to play during the Chinese New Year, and some asked her to have a class reunion, but she didn't agree.

Although she really wanted to show off her current state in front of her friends, she wanted to be with Yan Xin even more.

Although they are a family, there are not many opportunities to be with Yan Xin.

When the bell was about to ring at midnight for the Spring Festival Gala, the sound of firecrackers outside suddenly became louder and louder.

The whole family put down the cards in their hands, moved out the firecrackers and fireworks, and started setting them off.

At midnight, every household set off firecrackers at this time.

Those who don't have money will also have to use a whip, and those with slightly better conditions will have a salute.

No matter how good the conditions are, it’s time to set off fireworks.

If you want to get a good omen when the New Year arrives, the time is quite neat.

For a time, countless fireworks and salutes rose in the night sky in this village, which were colorful and bright.

It’s not just this village either.

Across the river, countless fireworks were launched into the sky.

At this time, Yan Xin and Bai Xiaoling both looked at the Feng family at the east end of the village.

Over there, salutes and fireworks were also set off.

I wonder if Feng Xi is also looking at them at this time.

Such thoughts flashed through Yan Xin's mind.

At this time, I especially hope that Feng Xi can be by his side, at the same time, in the same place, and from the same angle to see the bright fireworks.

That should be happiness, right?

After watching the fireworks outside for more than ten minutes, the family returned home and continued playing cards.

At this time, Yan Xin received many New Year blessings on his mobile phone.

It was sent via QQ.

It was also sent via text message.

He had no choice but to choose a group post to reply to.

It's a shame that QQ red envelopes haven't been released yet, otherwise by this time, sending red envelopes would crash the server.

It wasn't until after one o'clock that we couldn't hold it any longer, so we ended the show.

After playing cards for several hours, Yan Xin lost more than 2000 yuan alone.

The other three all won.

But he was still in a happy mood.

Return to the second floor with Bai Xiaoling.

When the door opened, Bai Xiaoling was standing behind Yan Xin.

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment: "Why don't you go back to your room to rest?"

Bai Xiaoling rolled her eyes: "Brother, how about the two of us fight against the landlords, just in time to celebrate the new year."

If Feng Xi was still here, Yan Xin would agree to this proposal.

The old couple are too old to stay up late and have no way to stay up late.

But they young people can still perform this ritual.

But Feng Xi was not here, so he felt it was too dangerous for him to be alone in a room with Bai Xiaoling, or even fighting landlords on the same bed.

You know, they are staying up late.

I don’t know, maybe I thought they were doing something all night.

At that time, I can't even tell.

So he shook his head: "No, I'm already very sleepy. I have to get up early tomorrow morning. If I don't get some rest quickly, I think I'm going to die."

Bai Xiaoling was so disappointed.

He rolled his eyes again and said, "It's so cold now. It's very cold to sleep alone. How about..."

Yan Xin was frightened, and the figure of a huge crab appeared in his mind, and he quickly said:

"Then turn on the air conditioner. Ours is an inverter air conditioner with both air conditioning and heating. Just turn on the heating. I'm sure it won't be cold."

Bai Xiaoling felt very depressed and said, "Okay."

The door opened and Yan Xin entered the room, but Bai Xiaoling also followed.

"What did you come in for?" Yan Xin asked.

"Go to the bathroom," Bai Xiaoling said angrily, "I can't hold it in anymore."

There is no bathroom in her bedroom, and only Yan Xin's bedroom has one on the second floor.

——When I first built the house, I didn’t expect that there would be so many people in the family. There were only two people, father and son, living alone on the first floor and leaving two guest rooms. Naturally, there was no need for so many bathrooms.

Now Bai Xiaoling lives on the second floor. If she wants to use the bathroom, she must borrow Yan Xin's bathroom or go downstairs.

It was obviously inappropriate for her to go downstairs as a girl in the middle of the night.

So Yan Xin didn't say anything.

Just thinking: "Why does she look a little angry? Is it because I didn't accompany her to fight the landlord?"

Shaking his head, he didn't think much about it.

I closed the doors and windows, turned on the air conditioner, got into bed, and went to sleep.

Bai Xiaoling didn't come out for a long time, thinking in his heart:

"Is it constipation? Why else would it take so long?"

But this thing is not easy to rush.

Anyway, he himself has no corresponding needs.

Lying on the bed, I was really sleepy. I stayed up for about ten minutes and fell asleep before she came out.
