Who can fall in love if he can cultivate immortality?

Chapter 416

The marriage was confirmed, and the old couple immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had completed an important achievement in their lives. However, the two parties involved only had some unexpected freshness that day, and when they woke up the next day, they returned to their previous lives, as if this matter was of no importance to them.
Actually, this is normal.

Many people think that a couple's wedding night must be quite romantic, but the reality is exactly the opposite. Most couples are exhausted after the wedding banquet, and the only excitement is counting the guests' gift money.

and so.

Weddings are for others to see, only the day is yours.

The only difference is that after the New Year, I no longer need to eat white water noodles for three meals a day.

For the rest of the days, Gu Yuan mostly stayed to look after the store, riding a tricycle to deliver goods from time to time. Drivers at the freight station would greet Gu Yuan warmly when they met him, and some would even joke: "Does such a rich boss deliver goods himself?"

Ye Wenjun sits in front of the counter, sometimes helping to answer the phone and make some orders. She has memorized the prices of most of the goods in the hardware store, except for some rare items that cannot be sold for several months.

For merchants in the market.

Many people have been in business for most of their lives. If their children do not learn well, they have no choice but to come back and take over. However, even if these children take over, they still do things carelessly. The more awesome ones make money by opening their doors one day, and then close down and go out to have fun the next day.

"Big pot, how can I tutor you?" Hou Liang clearly refused in his heart. He could see that this was another stupid Ou Doudou.

During this period, I also went shopping with Ye Wenjun a few times and bought some new clothes and some new year's goods. Or have a few small gatherings with high school classmates, or go to Heshi to see the promotion plans of Chuyou and Li Qiao.

……

"Just as I coached you back then, you should coach him as well." Gu Yuan suggested.

When I woke up, it was already the 30th day of the Lunar New Year.

"That's right, this young couple can definitely take over the business."

"Yeah, the Spring Festival Gala seems to be getting worse and worse. It's not interesting at all."

At one point, the continuous sound of firecrackers even overwhelmed the voices of Zhu Jun and Li Yong announcing the official start of the Spring Festival Gala.

"My son is a great man, my daughter-in-law is beautiful and sensible, and Lao Gu and Sister Xie are considered winners in this life."

As a result, Gu Hai wrote:

inside the house.

"it is good!"

After each program, everyone will comment.

Everyone gathered around the brazier with old tree roots, warming themselves by the fire, eating melon seeds, chatting, and watching the Spring Festival Gala. This year, the old man dried the tree roots for several months in advance, unlike last year, when the whole house was filled with white smoke.

"Gu Yuan, come and tutor your brother!"

For this reason, the two of them went to the old grave again and burned some yellow paper to report to their ancestors. When the old man burned the paper, he did not forget to mention how many people had died this year. When night falls, the night sky of this small town in Hui Province is filled with firelight and smoke.

Even the characters are replaced with small animals.

For students, the scores in the final exam determine how happy they will be during the winter and summer vacations. Although Gu Hai got a hundred points in the exam, it was the total score of Chinese and Mathematics combined. When Gu Yuan passed by his uncle's store on his tricycle, he saw his aunt pointing her finger at Gu Hai's head:
"You're such a pig, you can't even write such a simple question."

In this life, they have been able to see everything at a glance, and their biggest hope is that their children will become successful. Of course, the same is true for Aunt Gu Yuan. Eight-year-old Gu Hai is already in the second grade. When Gu Yuan passed by, he found him lying on the bench crying.

"Ang, college students are not omnipotent. Besides, I have forgotten all my elementary school knowledge. I have to use advanced mathematics and calculus to explain this kind of question, and he can't understand it!" But the aunt obviously didn't believe it. Hou Liang, who was already in the second grade of junior high school, came out of the store. Gu Yuan quickly called him over:
"I'm still anxious to deliver the goods, so you can help Gu Hai with his homework..."

Sporadic firecrackers could be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys, and from time to time they would startle passers-by and attract some curses.

In the morning, I help look after the store and deliver goods, and in the afternoon, I surf the Internet and play cards.

"You can't tutor a college student well?" My aunt was a little surprised.

Seeing Gu Yuan passing by, my aunt quickly waved.

"Are you kidding? A stall as big as Gu Yuan's will come back to our market to do business?"

"It seems there are no sketches by Zhao Benshan this year!"

"That's right, I've figured out the rules. Some skits are always like: Let's go home and make dumplings and smash them together!"

After Gu Yuan and Ye Wenjun posted the Spring Festival couplets, they followed the old couple back to their hometown. Compared to last year's New Year's Eve, Ye Wenjun's 'identity' was still a little uncertain, but this year it is a certainty.

"A few days ago, I advised them not to do business anymore. His son is already so rich, so why not just relax and enjoy life at home. Yuan Xin said that she is used to it. She has been in business for decades, so what are you doing if you are not busy? She also said When people are free, they tend to think about other things.”

……

"The tutor is really good. He has half the genes of my old Gu family."

Gu Yuan glanced at the test paper and felt that his eyes were black on the spot. He could only get about fifty points in the second grade of elementary school. His foundation was riddled with holes. How could he tutor himself? "Today's elementary school questions are even more difficult than they were back then, and I can't tutor them well."

Hou Liang blinked and asked Gu Yuan if this was okay: "This is how you tutored me..."

Hou Liang patted his chest confidently.

Gu Yuan held it in for a long time and gave him a thumbs up:

So this young couple's down-to-earth attitude is really enviable.

Parents in small cities have very simple ideas.

As time goes by, the flavor of the year becomes stronger and stronger.

Although the remaining days were boring, they were actually enjoyable every day.

When he came back, Hou Liang was setting off firecrackers with Gu Hai, leaving his winter vacation homework aside. Gu Yuan walked over and picked it up to take a look. After seeing the composition, he couldn't stop on the spot. It was a story about looking at pictures. The four-frame pictures were very simple:
Basically, a classmate in the class was sick. When other students found out, they sent him to the hospital. The classmate received timely treatment and everyone was happy.

"The little monkey had a fever of 93 degrees. Other students felt that if he stayed in the classroom, the temperature in the school would be too high. So everyone sent him to the hospital. After he cooled down, everyone cheered happily."

However, the general consensus is that the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse and worse, but due to years of habit, everyone still sits in front of the TV.

No one realizes.

Last year was Lao Zhao's last year in the Spring Festival Gala, and in the next few years, the Spring Festival Gala will gradually change from less and less beautiful to ugly. No one realizes that half of this year's six hosts will have problems in a few years.

"Yes, during the Chinese New Year, everyone wants to laugh and feel more comfortable, and who wants to hear about teachings!"

The men's topic was a little more broad. From the program, they soon talked about the advertising of the Spring Festival Gala. I don't know who started it. "I heard that if you want to advertise in the Spring Festival Gala, the price is not ordinary expensive. It takes a second." Millions!"

"real or fake?"

For everyone, this is simply an astronomical figure.

"Ang, it's true. An ordinary advertisement is 240 million per second."

"However, the most expensive one is the zero o'clock time. Last year's price was 5720 million yuan, for a total of ten seconds, which is equivalent to 572 million yuan per second. Midea has bought ads for the zero o'clock time for sixteen consecutive years, and this year it will be even more expensive. Every second 620 million seconds!”

Gu Yuan talked in a leisurely manner, replying to the blessing text messages on his mobile phone while making introductions.

In short, he will reply to any template blessing text messages that are not sent in groups.

"How do you know? This is all hearsay. It costs millions per second. How could there be such expensive advertising fees? Who did you listen to?"

Auntie still doesn't believe it. "Sixty-two million, I paid for it myself, why didn't I know."

Gu Yuan grinned: "The contract has been signed and the money has been transferred. Are you telling the truth? Who else do you need to listen to?"

"..."

The whole family didn't know what to say. Everyone was watching the Spring Festival Gala happily, but suddenly someone was pretending to be cool.

Yuan Xin coughed twice and reached out to hand over a handful of melon seeds.

The meaning is obvious, eat something and stop your bad mouth.

However, Gu Yuan didn't have the slightest bit of self-consciousness. Instead, he explained with a smile: "Hawen is the director this year. She doesn't plan to insert commercials, and she doesn't plan to do zero-hour commercials. I made several trips... and then spent the money."

Yuan Xing's eyes widened and she handed over another orange. Gu Yuan stuffed it into his mouth and said while chewing, "The main reason is that there were too many product placements last year. I calculated the account for her. If she doesn't do it this year, By inserting advertisements, CCTV will lose 60 to 700 million yuan in revenue.”

"CCTV didn't do it either, so I ended up spending money to buy it."

Historically, the Spring Festival Gala in 2012 was indeed an advertising vacuum period.

but.

Later, CCTV did some calculations and found that the losses would be too great if they did not advertise on this night, so they resumed the program in one or three years. Since this year, Internet companies have gradually become the ones advertising in the Spring Festival Gala, and the prices will become higher and higher.

Even in the 'Ten Down', which is the ten commercials inserted before the Spring Festival Gala, the worst position is over 20 million.

After chatting for a while, the second aunt’s family came over to pay New Year’s greetings.

of course.

The busiest time is of course giving lucky money.

Every year when giving New Year's money, there seems to be such a back-and-forth, as if it is a necessary ritual for giving New Year's money: "He is already in college, how can he still need New Year's money?"

This year, the sentence pattern has been changed to: "He is already so rich, how can he still need lucky money?"

"Are you done? Give me the money anytime. I can't wait."

Gu Yuan had already pulled his pockets open, waiting for them to stuff the money into their pockets. Then he raised his eyebrows with Chaozi who was sitting next to him, and Chaozi also smiled and handed over a cigarette.

"this is yours."

The second aunt turned around and gave Ye Wenjun a red envelope with a smile.

Seeing Yuan Xin nodding aside, she accepted the red envelope and said sweetly: "Thank you, Second Aunt."

The women continued chatting, while the men went directly to the card table.

Since he got engaged years ago, Gu Yuan can be regarded as a "half-step adult". The five of them went to the table and caught the loser, chatting while playing cards. However, due to the wine consumed during dinner and the charcoal basin placed under the table, everyone was inevitably a little thirsty after not sitting for a while.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lao Gu took a few puffs of cigarette and said subconsciously: "Son, go get me a glass of water."

There is an unwritten rule in the family that the card reader should take care of the card players. Of course, the one who wins the most money also has to pay a 'service fee'. In the past, it was Gu Yuan who did the work, but this year when he sat at the card table, he could naturally refuse:

"I'm playing cards too."

Gu Yuan raised his head and glanced at his father.

"forget!"

Lao Gu explained.

At this time, Ye Wenjun walked into the main room. Gu Yuan took a glance and shouted: "Ye Wenjun, make me a cup of tea..."

"Hey."

Ye Wenjun responded, then took the tea leaves and poured water without saying a word, and quickly put a thermos cup in front of Gu Yuan.

At the same time, a plate of cut apples and peeled oranges was thoughtfully placed:

"You drank a lot at night, so I put more tea..."

"What else do you want? I'll get it for you? I saw there are fresh cucumbers in the kitchen. I'll wash one for you and bring it over to eat, okay?"

Gu Yuan waved his hand: "No, you go watch TV. I'll call you if you need anything."

Ye Wenjun nodded, but did not leave. Instead, he looked at Lao Gu at the card table and said, "Uncle, let me pour you a cup of tea."

"No, I'll ask your aunt to pour it for me."

Lao Gu glanced at Gu Yuan and thought to himself that we also have wives. Then he shouted to the women chatting in the room, "Xie'er, please bring me a glass of water. I'm a little thirsty."

"Don't you have any legs? Go and pour the tea yourself!"

Yuan Yingzheng got excited about chatting and responded unceremoniously. Then he turned around and started chatting about the gossip in the village, "Really or not, there is another thing like this. The woman took the wild man away just half an hour after the man went out." Go home?"

"A person like this actually has the nerve to say, 'Are you not wrong?'"

At this time, the aunt passed by, and the uncle directly picked up the empty thermos cup in front of him and handed it over, "Daughter-in-law, add some water to me..."

"What are you thinking?"

The aunt rolled her eyes at her brother-in-law, snorted, turned around and left, "You still want me to serve you while playing cards? If you drink more wine, you will have everything in your dreams."

The second uncle and Chaozi looked at each other and said nothing at all.

Neither of them dared to shout.

In the end, Ye Wenjun poured tea for everyone, and then placed some melon seeds and peanuts in front of everyone, and then went inside to watch TV.

"Son, give me a piece of apple."

Lao Gu looked at it with greedy lips and said something.

People are like this sometimes. When others have something, they will be envious and think that the food in other people's mouths tastes better.

"It's not like you don't have a wife."

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Let your wife do it for you..."

For a moment, the silence on the table was deafening.

My brother-in-law, second uncle, and Chaozi all bowed their heads and said nothing.

"Get off the table!"

Lao Gu sighed and clapped his cards, "I don't want to take you to play cards anymore. If I had known better, I wouldn't have helped you get engaged."
