Reborn Cultural Empire

156. Happy Pause

Because of the gorgeous appearance of Yang Min and Yang Yi, the atmosphere in the Yang family compound was extremely lively on the day of the 29th birthday. Even the five youngest children surrounded Yang Yi and refused to leave. This was unexpected. A little embarrassing for not being able to.

Not to mention Xiaojian and Sisi, children in their seventies, eighties and ten years old, even Yang Ming and Yang Lin, Yang Yi felt that they didn't have much in common.Now he has suddenly become a baby-like character, this is how embarrassing Yang Yiqing is.

Children can't be blamed for their snobbish eyes. In fact, children have the smallest hearts and can't hold too many things. They stick to whoever treats them well. It's just the most instinctive and innocent behavior.Coupled with Yang's large range of gifts, he is almost the same as Sancai Boy, and he has become the focus of everyone and the most popular person almost at once.Seeing the children pestering Yang Yi, not only did they not say anything, but they also encouraged and even encouraged them with a smile, which really made Yang Yi helpless for a long time.

Fortunately, it was not too far away from where to eat lunch, and the family chatted with each other for a while, and the sumptuous dishes were served on the table.

Because it was only a small year, the step of saying goodbye to the new year was saved, and the three tables were filled with plates of New Year's dishes.According to the rules, there is one table for men, one table for women, and the other table is for children. It has been like this for many years.

But today, after the food was served on the table, the second uncle waved to Yang Yi for the first time: "Come on, Xiao Yi, sit at this table!"

The other old people didn't have any strange expressions, Yang Weihong, Yang Weidong, and the men of their generation had only slightly different expressions, and then they entered the table by themselves.The reaction at the table next to the women's relatives was a little bigger. Yang Yi's cousins ​​and aunts glanced at each other, and found uncomfortable expressions on each other's faces.

The one with the biggest response was the children's table. Xiaojian got a lot of benefits from Yang Yi in the morning. Except for one, he didn't know how to use it, but he still treasured it like a treasure and wouldn't even let others touch it. In addition to the Walkman, there are Cadbury chocolates that children rarely eat at this time.After having the chocolate, he even took out all the milk candy Yang Weidong gave him and threw it aside.In the end, they searched out a lot of change from Yang Yi, and after they went out of the yard, they exchanged back a whole five boxes of cannons.

So now seeing Yang Yi being called to the big table in the middle, he was the first to quit: "Why do you let Brother Yang Yi sit there? I want to sit with Brother Yi!"

Seeing a group of children looking over eagerly, Yang Ming, Yang Lin, and the others looked puzzled and envious. The second uncle, the backbone of the family, said, "Now that Xiao Min has resigned, it means that Xiao Yi is supporting the family. In our house Everyone knows the rules, the one who starts to support the family is considered a man, and he has to sit at the main table."

After looking around and seeing that no one raised any objections, he turned to the children's table again: "Your elder brother has set an example for you today! But, I don't ask you to be like him now." , what should be studied hard is to study hard, don’t think too much, you know?”

Hearing the words of the old man who was in charge of the house, the whole family agreed with his statement, and they all went to the table.

The smooth and tender white chopped chicken is still bloody in its bones, and a bite is full of the mellow aroma of earth chicken; Dongpo pork is simmered in a clay pot for a morning, and it melts soft and delicious in the mouth; steamed ham and duck are full of original flavor, Yang In the previous life, after going out to join the party in high school, I never tasted it again...

There are also yellow croaker, eight-treasure vegetables, hairtail, fresh shellfish, drunk dates, jellyfish heads, sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, and white-cut beef and sheep.On the four corners of the table were also placed yellow rice candies, jujube hair cakes, brown sugar cakes, and emerald green cakes.

The annual dishes of the entire Jiangnan department are almost the same, and Yang Yi really hasn't had such a big appetite for a long time.

"Xiao Yi, can I have a drink?" The second uncle pulled Yang Yi by his side and asked, holding up the ten-year-old Huadiao that he brewed himself, but before Yang Yi agreed, he filled a glass for him with a smile. It is obvious that he likes this grandson who has suddenly become promising.

The customs of Xizhi Ancient Town are like this. The grandparents and grandchildren of a big family don't really distinguish between grandsons, grandchildren, and nephews. As long as there is a child in the family, the old people will be in great pain.

However, these old people used to care about Yang Yi purely, but now they are a little more proud.

And Yang Yi also knew that his second uncle was definitely not particularly enthusiastic because of his gift.Speaking of money, this old man buried three open jars under the big osmanthus tree in the backyard. There are almost thousands of "Yuan Datou" in total. There are even more than 20 rare coins from the Lanzhou Mint in Gansu.

These alone are enough to exchange for hundreds of thousands of tickets now, so the behavior of the old man now is just because he really likes Yang Yi.

Thinking of how this old man specially left those Gansu silver dollars to himself and his mother when he distributed the inheritance to the younger generations before he left in the previous life, Yang Yi felt warm gratitude and respect in his heart, Pretending to refuse, he nodded heavily.

"Of course it's no problem. I'm sure I'll have a good drink with my uncle and grandpas today."

"Okay! Hahaha, I knew that you little guy is not ordinary, you can drink so frankly!" In Yang Yi's uncle's view, as long as he drinks frankly, he is an upright person. Yang Yi agreed, It made him like it even more.

The whole family had a good meal, especially Yang Min's face was full of energy, as if he was several years younger.

After lunch, everyone went on to set up the Great Wall. A few aunts and sisters-in-law pulled Yang Min aside to talk, but Yang Yi was going to go out for a walk.In his memory, the ancient town seems to have been contracted and developed around 2000, and turned into a tourist spot similar to the magical city of Zhouzhuang.

At that time, Xizhi, wine and youth hostels were all over the town.At night, it is a brightly lit and magnificent scene. Although it has a special flavor, it still loses the meaning of the water town and the connotation of history. It is no different from those commercialized Yangshuo West Street and Lijiang.

So just take advantage of this time to go home for the New Year, and have a good experience in the ancient town.

But just as he was packing up, plugging in his earphones and preparing to walk in the ancient town of Jiangnan Water Town amidst the music of Jiangnan, an unexpected visitor came to the gate.

Yang Yi frowned slightly, and there was always something wrong in his heart, because this person who couldn't wait to come to the door in 29 Xiaonian was Yang Hailong whom he met on the road just now.

"Hey! It's Hai Long. I told you to go and sit with you later, but you took the lead!" Because Yang Weidong was unlucky, his lover kicked him off the poker table and watched the game beside him.It was just in the midst of boredom that when he saw Yang Hailong coming to the door, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Hello, Uncle Tianying, Uncle Haiying, and Uncle Fanjiang!" Yang Hailong entered the courtyard and greeted the elders of the family first. After saying a few words, I saw a change in the expressions of the two brothers.

Seeming to be a little shocked, Yang Weihong shook his head again and again, but Yang Weidong remained silent for a while, then asked Yang Hailong a few more words, and stopped talking.

And Yang Hailong was still smiling cordially and enthusiastically, and after lighting the cigarettes for the two brothers, he was foaming and pointing at the door with gestures and gestures.On the other hand, Yang Weidong's face was flickering. Yang Weihong wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

After the three talked for a while, Yang Hailong saw that the two brothers were hesitating, so he went to the side and brought two men, one was the son of Yang Yi's second uncle, Yang Weiguo, Yang Yi's cousin, and the other was Yang Yi. Seventh grandfather's son, Yang Xuejun, Yang Yi's cousin.

Now, the five big men gathered together, which was quite conspicuous. The women in the courtyard seemed to have noticed something too. men.

At the end, the old people at the main table in the middle also glanced over there from time to time, obviously a little curious.

Several people got together and talked for about half an hour, but Yang Weidong and the others seemed to be unable to come up with an idea.After discussing with each other hesitantly, Yang Weidong looked at Yang Hailong, but shook his head towards the old people.

After receiving Yang Weidong's signal, Yang Hailong thought for a while, then nodded and walked over to the table where the old people played cards, but his complexion was obviously not as good as when he first came in.

Standing behind the second uncle, Yang Hailong first diffused a circle of cigarettes respectfully, then pulled a chair and sat behind the second uncle Yang Tianying, whispering something.

At first Yang Tianying didn't pay much attention to it, she talked to Yang Hailong one after another, without stopping.

But after a round of cards was played, he signaled the old people to stop, then turned around and started talking with Yang Hailong.

Over there Yang Hailong was talking to the old man, and here the men headed by Yang Weidong were also talking quietly but fiercely. In the end, the voices became louder and louder, as if they were about to quarrel.
