Siheyuan: Baji heirs never forget

Chapter 163 It’s Chinese New Year, receive and send red envelopes! (Please subscribe)

For Xin Zhao and Lou Xiaoe, the Chinese New Year is just like that.After all, when I am over 60 years old, I have celebrated the New Year dozens of times.But this year is different. In addition to the children and Lou's mother living in Xinghai Manor, there is also a little one in the family, Xiao Shihua.

Grandma Kong did not live in Xinghai Manor with Xiao Shihua, but was taken over by her son and daughter-in-law.

He said that he should fulfill his filial piety well.

In Xinghai Manor, Lou Xiao'e held a stack of red envelopes and a leather bag of hundred-yuan bills.

When the scene in the leather bag appeared in front of Xiao Shihua's eyes, Xiao Shihua immediately couldn't walk.Originally, the largest denomination she had ever seen was ten yuan, but since the old man found her, she still recognized the hundred-dollar bill.

"Ms. Lou, what are you going to do with the money?"

"Pack red envelopes and give out lucky money when the time comes."

"Hohohoho, do you have mine?" Xiao Shihua's face was full of anticipation.

"Yes, you and I will make red envelopes together. After you finish making red envelopes, you will also give them away." Lou Xiao'e said.

"Ah, I'm still a child!" Xiao Shihua started to squirm.

"Have you seen these red envelopes? Put the money in them and give them to the children. Some people call you sister-in-law and auntie!"

"Hoo ho!" Xiao Shihua's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"They have to call me sister-in-law before I say it!" Xiao Shihua proudly raised her head and said.

Lou Xiao'e was sitting in the yard, as busy as a farmer choosing vegetables, with a little girl like Xiao Shihua helping beside her.

"Old man, you're here too, you want to give out red envelopes!"

"Okay, I'll come too." Xin Zhao nodded in agreement.

There was a lot of cash, estimated to be one hundred thousand.

There were seven or eight cards in each wallet, and Xiao Shihua did it very carefully. Although the speed was slow, she was very serious.

This kind of New Year's money at home was formed after the birth of several grandchildren.

At that time, the face value of the red envelopes was not very large, starting from ten yuan.

After all, the face value of ten yuan spent by children is large enough, and as the children grow up, the face value gradually changes from ten yuan to one hundred.

On New Year's Eve, packing red envelopes has actually become one of the traditions of Zhao Xin's family. The children posted couplets, and Lou Xiao'e and Lou's mother packed red envelopes.

As the fireworks rose at night, Xiao Shihua's little eyes narrowed into a flower with a smile.

"Old man, why are these fireworks so beautiful?" Xiao Shihua took Xin Zhao's hand.

"Old man, hold me and watch." Xiao Shihua wanted to let Xin Zhao pick him up.

"Okay." Xin Zhao nodded. Although he was weak, he could still hold his daughter for a while.

After the fireworks are set off, it also marks the arrival of the new year.

Looking back on the past year, we experienced the SARS epidemic.In the new year, mainland China's economy will develop at a healthier and faster pace.

For Xin Zhao himself, with the addition of a daughter and the successful clearing of his son, a new chapter has officially opened.

That night Xiao Shihua clung to Xin Zhao and slept between Xin Zhao and Lou Xiao'e.

……

The next morning, when Zhao Xin woke up, he did not get up but looked at Xiao Shihua next to him.

The little girl was sleeping soundly, with a smile on her lips.

"Sleep a little longer and let the child wake up." Lou Xiao'e whispered to Zhao Xin.

"Okay." Xin Zhao nodded, and the two slept for a while again.

It wasn't until ten o'clock that Xiao Shihua shook the hands of Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e: "Old man, Lou Niang, get up soon, let's go get the red envelopes."

Xiao Shihua was thinking about the red envelopes she had received yesterday. These red envelopes were put in big boxes with the word "福" and placed in Lou's mother's yard.

"Okay, let's get up." Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e got up.

Xiao Shihua had already handed them toothbrushes and water glasses.

After washing up, Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e carried Xiao Shihua and walked to Lou's mother's room in the inner courtyard.

The servant in the yard has told Zhao Xin that Lou’s mother is up.

The four children and four grandchildren who were notified by Xin Zhao gathered in the inner courtyard.

"Mom, I'll help you sit on the chair while everyone wishes you New Year's greetings."

"Okay, New Year's greetings." Lou's mother said with a smile on her face: "We have to take pictures this year, there are so many people."

"Okay, the photographer has been invited." Lou Xiao'e said.

Lou's mother sat on the Taishi chair, Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e stood in the front, with Xiao Shihua in the middle, and behind them were Zhao Yutian and Tong Bingying, Zhao Yueyue and Wang Jiaxi, Zhao Zhixia and Lu Wentong, Zhao Gangyi and Wang Hongxuan.

After these four couples are Zhao Yingxiong, Zhao Hua, Wang Zhaoxing, and Zhao Yifan.

Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e first brought Xiao Shihua to pay New Year greetings. The two adults called her "Mom" and Xiao Shihua called her grandma.

Then Lou's mother handed over three red envelopes, among which Xiao Shihua's was the biggest.

When she received the red envelope, Xiao Shihua's face was full of smiles.

Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e stood beside them, and then Zhao Yutian and other children paid New Year's greetings, calling Lou's mother 'grandma', Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e as parents, Zhao Yueyue's husband Wang Jiaxi naturally called his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and Xiao Shihua was taken by Zhao Zhixia again Wish you a new year.

Then others got two red envelopes, but she got three.

The reason why others got two is because Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e got one, and Lou's mother got one.

As for Xiao Shihua, Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e posted separately.

Xiao Shihua, who was holding a red envelope, was held in Zhao Xin's arms, and then Zhao Yingxiong and others paid New Year's greetings.

After greeting one by one, they took red envelopes one by one.

When they arrived at Xiao Shihua's place, although the four boys were reluctant, they still called "little aunt" (little aunt) and took the red envelope from Xiao Shihua.

Among them, Zhao Yifan was the most reluctant, but seeing that his eldest brother Zhao Yingxiong called her sister-in-law, he didn't hesitate much.

After the New Year greetings, Zhao Xin and Lou Xiao'e sat next to Lou's mother. Zhao Xin hugged Xiao Shihua, and everyone gathered around to take a family photo.

……

The New Year's greetings on the first day of the lunar new year ended here. On the second day of the lunar month, outsiders came to visit.

In fact, the fact that the message of the visit could be sent to Xin Zhao already represented acceptance of the invitation. After all, if she refused, Caroline would have already completed it.

On the second day of the second year of junior high school, I sent a greeting card, which showed the urgency of the matter.

The visitor is also an acquaintance. The former boss of 14k is now the honorary director of Xiang'an Group, Ren Xiliu.

Ren Xiliu walked into Xinghai Manor with Wu Yuan's support.

"Mr. Zhao's manor is really full of scenery every step of the way." Ren Xiliu praised.

"The construction of this manor alone took three years, and the cost was more than [-] million. The previous one is..." Wu Yuan explained like a tour guide. Before the completion of Xinghai Manor, he came several times to supervise.

Several people walked through several pavilions and saw Zhao Xin who was throwing sandbags with Xiao Shihua. "Mr. Zhao." Ren Xiliu bowed deeply towards Zhao Xin.

"Haha, here you go, please take a seat."

The two of them were sitting on the pavilion. Ren Xiliu took a sip of tea and said, "I originally planned to come to the mainland to visit Mr. Zhao, but I never made it. I planned to come later, but I have something to ask you. It’s on my head.”

"Well, tell me." Xin Zhao nodded.

"Mei Yanfang, the founder of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, has cancer and has reached an advanced stage. If it were not for the 'special biomagnetoelectric effect' technology of Mr. Zhao's son Zhixia, I am afraid that he would have passed away. I went to Mr. Zhao hoping to Jump in line."

"Join the queue?" Xin Zhao and Caroline next to him looked at each other.

Mei Yanfang is the founder of the Hong Kong Artists Association. Even if she is looking for connections, she should not find Ren Xiliu. For example, Wang Haihong, the general manager of Xinghai Entertainment, is the best candidate.

"Mr. Zhao should know that someone wants to know if Mr. Zhao has more advanced technology here." As he spoke, Ren Xiliu handed over a note.

Caroline, who was next to Xin Zhao, directly picked up the note.

"Haha, are there still many smart people in this world?" Zhao Xin motioned to Wu Yuan who was standing aside to give Ren Xiliu some tea.

"Southeast Asia Qisan Biotechnology Company, Sun Never Sets Group, Eagle Group..." are all well-known companies in the world.

"I know now that Mei Yanfang should be able to save her." Zhao Xin said.

"Okay, the task is completed, then I have to chat with Mr. Zhao." Xiao Shihua followed Xin Zhao, looking particularly well-behaved.

An hour later, Ren Xiliu said goodbye and left.

……

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Zhixia and Lu Wentong set off. Before leaving, they took a jade bottle with a dozen pills in it.

Before leaving, Zhao Zhixia and Zhao Xin had a conversation, and Zhao Xin showed Zhao Zhixia the nature of Caroline's 'robot'.Zhao Zhixia also had a martial arts competition with Caroline and was completely defeated.

The pills he carries are based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and manufactured with top-notch high technology.

This pill can provide energy to the 'human body' to a certain extent.

This is the medicine that Xin Zhao has been taking continuously in the past few years, so that Xin Zhao can maintain a normal life after creating Caroline.

If this pill was taken by a normal person, it would be similar to an irritating drug with minimal side effects.With this bottle of pills, I think I can give an answer to the speculations of those outside.

Lest those people keep thinking that Zhao Zhixia's announcement of the 'special biomagnetoelectric effect' shows that there must be more exciting technologies hidden.

"From now on, I still have to keep a low profile." After sending Ren Xiliu away, Zhao Xin muttered to himself.

When Ren Xiliu came here, in addition to reaping the benefits, he also exposed the curiosity of those people.

After all, being openly curious is better than secretly coveting someone.

In the sixth grade, the children all left.

Zhao Yutian and Tong Bingying returned to the capital, while Zhao Yueyue and Wang Jiaxi went to Gansu. There will be a spacecraft launch plan in a month, and they are going to inspect it.

Zhao Gangyi and Wang Hongxuan returned to Suhang and enjoyed the comfortable life in the Jiangnan water town.

Xin Zhao also left Xinghai Manor with Xiao Shihua and returned to live in Xiaohonghua.

After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Honghua also started to go to work.The children came back one by one, and Xiao Shihua was thinking about using her red envelopes to buy delicious food to share with her friends.

"Old man, get up quickly, we are going to buy candy today!"

"Okay, get up right away." Zhao Xin rubbed his eyes and washed up at Xiao Shihua's urging.

Wu Yuan then drove the two of them to the commercial street.

"Old man, there are a lot of fruits here, let's buy some!"

"Buy two bags."

"Boss, how much does one bag cost?" Xiao Shihua held her wallet in her hand, but looked at the stall owner.

"A bag weighs about 30 kilograms and costs about ten yuan."

"Take two bags of thiamine." Xiao Shihua took out a hundred-dollar bill from the red envelope and handed it over. This made the boss startled, because he noticed that there seemed to be several hundred-dollar bills in the wallet.

After Xiao Shihua paid the money, she took the change and smiled happily: "Old man, the more you spend, the more money you spend. Help me get the red envelope!"

"Okay." Xin Zhao nodded in agreement.

Xiao Shihua bought candies, apples, peanuts, melon seeds, and milk, spending a total of 300 yuan.

Naturally, it was not possible for Xin Zhao to carry these things, but Wu Yuan who was following him to carry them back to the car.

After driving back to Xiaohonghua, Xiao Shihua went to find Dean Qiao to distribute food to the children. Naturally, she had to notify the dean.

Xin Zhao was free to sit in the previous seat, just as Grandma Kong made a cup of tea and began to taste it.

Cans of tea are standard fare for the elderly in many places, and Zhao Xin is already an old man, so the two naturally match well.

While drinking tea, he watched Xiao Shihua distribute snacks to the children like a little adult.

Each child has a portion, one apple, ten candies, three boxes of milk, half a catty of melon seeds, and half a catty of peanuts.

Dean Qiao and several teachers pretended that they were all arranged in portions for easy distribution.

"Grandpa Zhao, you eat melon seeds." Little Lanhua ran over. She opened her little bag and grabbed three big bags of melon seeds with her hands.

"Grandpa Zhao, you eat peanuts." The little swallow behind the little orchid also imitated the little orchid and said, she also caught three big handfuls, but all she caught were peanuts.

"Grandma Kong, you eat thiophene too." The little orchid was caught by Grandma Kong again.

Naturally, Xin Zhao and Grandma Kong would not refuse and ate peanuts and melon seeds.

Dean Qiao took two plates, one with peanut and melon seed candies, and the other with washed apples.

"Come, you treat me to some peanuts and melon seeds, and I'll treat you to apples." Xin Zhao picked up two apples and handed them over.

"Haha, thank you, Grandpa Zhao." Xiao Lanhua smiled and took the apple.

"Can I have candy?" asked the little swallow behind the little orchid.

"Of course." Xin Zhao handed over a candy and an apple.

These candies are all milk candies. Although children of this age cannot eat too much sugar, they can still eat some. After all, this is not the environment ten years from now, and everyone’s teeth are still very healthy.

"Teacher Wei Zhi is here." Xiao Lanhua's eyes lit up and she ran towards Wei Zhi in the yard.

Wei Zhi picked up the little orchid, came to Xin Zhao's side, put down a box of tea, and shouted: "Happy New Year, Mr. Zhao."

"It seems that the New Year has been a good one. I have to thank you, Mr. Zhao." Wei Zhi bowed and said, with more admiration and respect in her expression than before.

At this moment, Wei Zhi's heart was filled with excitement. Zhao Zhixia of Xinghai Group once again made a splash, which naturally attracted Wei Zhi's attention. After she checked online, she saw 'Mr. Zhao' who looked exactly like Mr. Zhao.

After she confirmed with her department manager, she was sure that the one who saved her was actually 'Mr. Zhao'.

Zhao Xin didn't care that Wei Zhi knew his identity. After all, Dean Qiao of Xiaohonghua Kindergarten and two veteran teachers knew about it.

Xin Zhao didn't deliberately hide his identity. Many people in Rongcheng knew that he was here, but they didn't bother him.

After all, if you want to see him, you have to get Caroline's approval first.
