Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Are you here to buy fireworks?"

"Well, it's not the Spring Festival yet. I'll buy some fireworks and go back for my wife and children to play with."

"What brand do you want? I'll help you choose."

"You are from this store..."

"I drive it at home." Li Qiong said with a smile.

No wonder she's here.

"Normally I don't come here very often." Li Qiong added: "I didn't expect that once I come here, I will meet your old classmate. In fact, I study art."

Chen Zhao bought hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks from Li Qiong.

Li Qiong accompanied him all the time.

Of course, it was also to find a sense of superiority in Chen Zhao.

"By the way, are there any fireworks that hurt people but won't hurt them? At least they won't cause extensive burns." Chen Zhao asked.

"No, fireworks are dangerous goods. Don't try to hit people."

"Okay." Chen Zhao shrugged helplessly.

"Are you going to play this game with your family?"

"I hate my father-in-law." Chen Zhao said frankly.

"But I sell protective clothing, helmets and goggles here, and now some young people also like to play this kind of game." Li Qiong said.

Before leaving, Li Qiong took the initiative and said: "Leave your contact information and we can go out for dinner together when you have time."

Although Li Qiong has been out for ten years, she has still been unable to integrate into this society.

Chen Zhao bought protective clothing. In fact, the material of this protective clothing is similar to that of fire fighters, and the shape is also similar.

Chen Zhao returned home, and Laurent also came back from outside.

He also brought back a cart full of fireworks, and also bought protective clothing, helmets, and goggles.

The two looked at each other and then moved the things into the car in silence.

However, both of them kept the east and west in the basement. After all, these things are flammable and explosive and are not suitable for keeping at home.

Sure enough, only enemies understand enemies.

Back in the living room, little Gelin had already run and jumped up to Laurent.

"grandfather……"

"Oh, my little baby." Laurent suddenly changed his smile and picked up little Gelin.

Chen Zhao muttered: "This is my daughter, why should I be so close to you?"

"This is also my granddaughter. What does it have to do with you?" Laurent said matter-of-factly: "Baby, look at what grandpa bought you. Do you like it?"

Little Gelin pecked Laurent on the face, half of Laurent's face was covered with saliva.

Chen Zhao curled his lips, and Laurent hugged little Gelin and said, "Chen, I think we should not do any fireworks. I think it's a bit dangerous."

Laurent was mainly thinking about little Gelin and the pregnant Fali.

Chen Zhao thought for a moment, then nodded: "Don't cause trouble for me around the Spring Festival."

"Peace for now."

On the 29th of the lunar calendar, Chen Zhao went to the association headquarters again to give red envelopes to the people of the association.

Although Laurent and Chen Zhao were still fighting openly and secretly in the past two days, it was only a verbal exchange. In front of Fali, they still maintained their grace, friendship and goodwill.

Chen Zhao also specially ordered a little red robe for little Ge Lin. Little Ge Lin looked particularly cute wearing the little red robe, with two bun headdresses on her head.

In the past two days, Laurent has completely fallen under the cuteness of little Gelin.

I took pictures of little Gelin with my mobile phone all day long.

Little Gelin lay on the princess's back and took pictures.

Little Gelin sat by the lake, holding Samael in her arms, taking pictures.

Little Gelin sucks milk and takes pictures.

Anyway, Laurent has to take pictures of everything little Gelin does.

He was completely stunned.

It is said that the piano transcends generations, and it is fully reflected in Laurent.

"Grandpa, I want... to... endure the pot."

"What is little Ge Lin talking about?" Laurent pushed Chen Zhao beside him.

"Little Ge Lin wants to set off firecrackers." Chen Zhao said.

Because today is twenty-nine, Chen Zhao throws out a bunch of firecrackers every once in a while.

However, because he was afraid of hurting little Ge Lin, Chen Zhao did not let little Ge Lin get close.

But little Ge Lin was not afraid at all. Little Ge Lin had such a temper.

He has a completely fearless character.

"Then get her a firecracker," Laurent said.

Chen Zhao shook his head: "No, she is too young, she doesn't understand the danger."

"It's okay, I'll watch." Laurent said.

"I said, no."

"I said, I'm watching, and I won't let little Gelin get hurt."

"Then what if you're not here and neither am I? What if little Gelin goes to play by herself?"

"Why are you like this?"

"That's all I am."

At this time, Fali came down from upstairs.

"Dad, Chen, what are you arguing about?"

"No, we were discussing what to eat tonight."

…

The festival is all about the atmosphere.

On New Year's Eve, Karim, Howard and Kane, who were staying in the hotel, also came.

All of them are busy, and it seems that no one can stop this day.

The atmosphere was easily contagious. Laurent held little Gelin and set off firecrackers outside.

The pets at home also seemed very active, because they ate whatever they wanted at home today.

Whenever they want to eat, they run to the kitchen and either Farr or Whinip will throw them a piece of food.

Chen Zhao has been relatively leisurely these two days, not caring about anything.

Laurent didn't give him any trouble.

Chen Zhao also prepared a New Year's Eve dinner for his pets.

The family sat together happily, eating, drinking, and talking.

"Chen, I heard that you are building a new house again?"

"Oh, yes."

"You bastard, don't you know how to save money even if you have it?" Laurent found an opportunity and wanted to confront Chen Zhao.

"After coming to the United States, I learned my habits from you Americans." Chen Zhao shrugged: "Instant consumption, this is your American concept. Money placed in the bank will continue to depreciate, so in order to preserve its value, I can only Invest in land.”

"But I heard that the beach you bought has sharks in the sea."

"Shark fins are delicious."

"Shark fishing is illegal."

"Self-defense is not illegal."

"Okay, noisy." Huinip said: "Chen, you made a lot of money last year from wine, right?"

"Fali and I made the money together. In fact, Fali takes the main credit for the vineyard." Chen Zhao said, holding Fali's hand.

"How about you expand a bit this year? Your wine will be in short supply in our supermarkets."

"Huinipu, things are rare and valuable. You are in business. You should know this truth better than me." Chen Zhao said: "If you brew too much wine, it will be worthless. The supply will always be less than the demand. , in order to keep the value of the commodity stable or even appreciate.”

Huinipu feels firsthand the benefits that Chen Zhao's wine brings to the supermarket.

However, it mainly attracts marginal customers because they are all wealthy people.

What she needs is not just the rich, but the middle class, who are the high-quality customers who can really bring profits to the supermarket.

Of course, she has no control over this matter.
