Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 112: 111 years have passed, and the earth is back to spring

On New Year’s Eve, every household has lights on.

The streets of the county town are much quieter than before. Some people have returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year, and those who remain in the county town are staying at home.

Lin Zhe's house is very lively. Although the villa is very large, there are quite a few people.

The relatives gathered together to play cards and drink, and the children were happily playing in Lin Zhe's game room.

Although it hadn't been decorated yet, it was fully stocked with gaming consoles like the PS5, and there wasn't anything collectible, so Lin Zhe let the kids in without worrying about it.

In addition, he was not idle either. He placed a mahjong table in the tea room upstairs.

Not many people in Lincheng play cards or mahjong on weekdays, but during the Chinese New Year everyone still gets together to play a few rounds.

"East Wind"

"Get rich"

"Hooray!"

As Ruyi shouted excitedly, she happily took the chips on the table into her arms.

Seeing this, Lin Zhe laughed and teased.

"If the boss wants to draw cards, you touch them. If the boss wants to touch cards, you win. Ruyi, your job as an assistant has come to an end."

No longer the "fearful" little girl at the beginning, Ruyi now answered generously.

"Hey, this is what you said, brother. After work, we will talk about relatives. What's wrong with my sister winning a few hundred dollars from me? You haven't given me any New Year's money this year~"

Faced with this statement, Lin Zhe could only smile bitterly. This time, Ruyi had completely implemented what he said.

The year-end bonus given by the company doesn’t count, you still have to ask for New Year’s money.

……

At night, the whole family gathered together and set up three tables: one in the living room, one in the dining room, and a separate table for the children.

In the past, the whole family would take turns to come during the Chinese New Year, this year we would go to your house, next year we would go to my house.

According to the convention, we would have gone to my second uncle's house this year, but Lin Zhe's family moved to a new house, and it's a big villa, so everyone just wanted to have fun so they came here.

It turned out that the big villa was really nice and the children had a lot of fun.

Lin Zhe's family also set out thatched cottage cheese during the meal.

In the past, Lin Zhe often saw some friends posting photos of their New Year’s Eve dinners on WeChat Moments. Maozi was not the main character, but it was always “inadvertently” displayed at the edge of the photo.

Lin Zhe's family didn't have the financial resources at that time, and the highest standard on the New Year's Eve dinner table was usually four or five hundred per bottle.

Now there are two boxes of Maozi piled up on the table. Life has really gotten better.

Faced with such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, girls like Ruyi naturally took out their phones to take pictures, while Lin Zhe went to the side and smoked with a smile.

I have experienced so much in the past year, and now I have achieved such results, which is worthy of my "adventure".

……

"Hey mom, is Xiaozhe's house comfortable? We'll come over after the second day of the Chinese New Year."

"Feel comfortable, Zimin, you guys should eat and drink well too. Don't mistreat yourself and your children all year round. Come pick up mom in a couple of days."

After chatting for a few words and saying hello to Lao Lin, Jiang Lan and others in the video, Jiang Zimin hung up the phone.

Compared to the luxurious New Year’s Eve dinner at Lin Zhe’s house, this one is much simpler.

There are a family of four and several other local relatives. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zimin thought of what Lin Zhe had promised him.

It was not in vain that he loved his nephew so much in the beginning. Now that he has become rich, he still thinks about himself.

For a moment, Jiang Zimin was filled with emotion. He looked towards the inner room, where there were two bottles of Maozi sent by Lin Zhe.

Originally, he was reluctant to drink it, thinking that he could either sell it for cash or just keep it in the bottom of a box, and take it out when his two children grew up and got married.

But when he thought about what Lin Zhe said, that things will definitely get better in the future, he was also happy.

I have been brewing grain wine for my whole life, so let's try what this Maozi tastes like.

"Wife, go get a bottle of Maozi from the inner room so we can have some meat."...

Carefully open the bottle of wine, and the aroma fills the air instantly.

Jiang Zimin poured himself a small cup first and then drank it all in one gulp, leaving the sweet taste on his lips and teeth.

Lin Zhe really thinks that this thing is just so-so. Apart from the price and other brand and psychological factors, it is at most a good wine, not as mysterious as it is hyped up to be.

But Jiang Zimin now has a completely different feeling.

He was calculating in his mind how much money he had spent with that sip.

"Tsk tsk~ Good wine, this money smells so good~"

……

At Lin Zhe's home, the New Year's Eve dinner was over and the women were busy cleaning up the table, leaving only some cold dishes to go with the wine.

Then it was Lao Lin and his friends' turn. Anyone who could drink, regardless of gender, came to the table.

In the past, at this time of year, everyone would talk about the past year’s gains, how business is going, or what the children’s future will be like.

In the past, the eldest uncle and the second uncle would always advise the younger generations like Lin Zhe, saying that working outside was not a big deal, and it would be better to work hard to get a civil service exam, or at worst, to work in a state-owned enterprise.

This year, no one mentioned it anymore. Lin Zhe could even clearly feel that these elders had a little more "respect" when facing him. He didn't even dare to make jokes, for fear that he would take it to heart.

"Come on, come on, Xiaozhe, let's have a round."

"Yes, let Xiaozhe come, and let the young people come first."

In the past, the person with the highest status was always the "head chef" at the table, but this year everyone unanimously let a junior like Lin Zhe come, which shows the change in status.

Chuckling, Lin Zhe took the shuffled cards from his uncle and turned to hand them to Old Lin.

"My dad is here, he's good at this."

"Haha, that's right, let Lao Lin come!"

"Hello, Lao Lin. You and your son are both recognized as the best drinkers in our family."

……

After finishing two rounds here, Lin Zhe turned around and went to the young people's side. Ruyi was drinking beer with several cousins ​​and a few young aunts.

After sitting down, Lin Zhe was naturally "warmly" welcomed. Playing some relaxing games with a group of people was more comfortable than over there.

As it approached midnight, some impatient people had already lit the fireworks, and some did not care about the midnight at the beginning. The sound of firecrackers began to be heard in the small town.

Lin Zhe's family did not miss it either. This year, Mr. Lin spent thousands of dollars on fireworks and firecrackers alone.

Walking out of the house, as the fireworks filled the sky and confetti and gunpowder fragments fell to the ground, the new year was over.

It was almost time for everyone to go home, and Jiang Lan took out the red envelope she had prepared.

Since she has younger generations at home, she naturally has to express her gratitude, especially since Lin Zhe's family is doing well now, she will not be stingy with her relatives in this regard.

"Come on, come to Auntie to get the red envelope."

Every child has one, even Ruyi came to Jiang Lan in a somewhat "shameless" manner.

"Happy New Year, Auntie, may you make fortune~"

Jiang Zhu, who was standing beside him, also laughed and scolded when he saw this.

"You are so grown up and you don't have any shame. You still want lucky money."

In response to Jiang Zhu's words, Lin Zhe's mother glared at her and then took out a red envelope and gave it to Ruyi.

"What are you talking about? How old are they in front of us? Aren't they still children?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhe quickly stood up and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we youngsters are always children in front of you, Mom, congratulations on your prosperity!"

As he said that, Lin Zhe also stretched out his hand with a smile.
