The world is in trouble

Chapter 164 It’s the New Year! Boundless happiness!

As soon as these words came out, Li Fangfang looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.

Was he still a high school student at that time?

Even now her whole mind is in a mess and she can't make sense of it.

In other words, when he was in his senior year of high school, this Lin Xiao fell in love with his own Paopao and tried his best to pursue her?
Then… then it would really be like meeting your own bubble.

Otherwise, who would not meet for more than 300 days, or even call each other, and just chat online?
She had a lot of ideas.

The boy in front of me is so bold. Not only does he say that he likes his English teacher, but he also takes direct action.

Even, directly stealing someone's love.

Is it really the little wolfdog that grandma mentioned?

At the critical moment, fierce and violent?
But in the end, all these chaotic emotions dissipated.

There were only a few images in her mind.

Every moment she spent with Lin Chengze, whether in Shanghai or in Linshan.

Every picture is so happy, every picture is so warm.

Moreover, he didn't have to see the test report just now, which meant that Lin Xiao could still hide it and just put the test report in his pocket.

Maybe he didn't want to lie and was looking for an opportunity to confess.

Thinking about it again, Li Fangfang felt that Lin Xiao did nothing wrong?

After all, he had just graduated from high school at that time. Although Momo had submitted his resignation report, he had not yet completed his resignation.

If I really confessed that I was Lin Xiao, how could I and Xiao Wanli agree?
Wouldn't that just ruin this marriage in vain?
Moreover, after the two of them were together, it was fully proved that Lin Xiao took good care of Bubble.

We bought a big house, added Paopao’s name to it, and hired a part-time worker to help with cooking and housework.

They didn't even keep Bubble at home as a canary, but instead cultivated her independent ability.

Let her make friends at Shanghai Theatre Academy, have her own circle, and even develop her own career.

"Okay, why are you like this?" Li Fangfang saw Momo, who was acting like she was facing a great enemy, and asked, "Why, are you still worried that I will break you two up?"

"Actually...it's nothing."

It's even very romantic and beautiful. Of course, she could only think about this in her heart and was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

For a long while, Li Fangfang stared at Lin Xiao.

"Anyway, in my heart you are Chengze."

"I don't know any Lin Xiao, I only know Cheng Ze..."

Then, Li Fangfang hugged Lin Xiao with one hand and Paopao with the other.

"From the day you chased home, uncle and aunt knew that you and our family were bound together forever."

"We have only one daughter in our family. From now on, she is not only our son-in-law, but also our real half-son."

"We are a family of four, and we must be happy."

In fact, Li Fangfang still felt a little regretful in her heart. She really wanted to show off such an outstanding son-in-law.

I also plan to invite more guests, invite all relatives and friends, and introduce Lin Chengze to everyone.

After all, at her age, what else can she compare?
Husband's status? Lao Xiao is barely acceptable, but she doesn't want to compete. She just wants Lao Xiao to live a peaceful and healthy life.

Then you can only be more successful than your children.

Who is more capable than the son-in-law?
Of course, there is also the son-in-law’s appearance.

If you are just average, there is no need to compare. But if you are as handsome as Chengze, you must show it off.

It’s a pity that we can’t do any of this anymore.

After all, it might not sound good if it gets out. People will say that your daughter is shameless for seducing her own student.

But if you don’t want to show off, then don’t show off. It’s no big deal. It’s better for the family to live a good life.

Chengze got married and had a baby as soon as he turned 22.

Then she applied for retirement due to illness and went to Shanghai to take care of the baby for the two of them.

I don’t know how happy I would be if I imagined that there would soon be a little Paopao or a little Chengze.

Both of them are so good-looking, I wonder how beautiful the baby will be.

....................................

Next, there was a steady stream of people taking care of Xiao Wanli.

Subordinates from the Agriculture Bureau also came in waves.

This time, Li Fangfang was very careful and did not allow Lin Xiao to meet or communicate with her.

But these subordinates and colleagues will not stay to take care of you.

The three people who really took care of Xiao Wanli were Lin Xiao, Li Fangfang, Xiao Momo, plus Bai Xiaoping and Su Tao.

But there are some things that are inconvenient for other girls to do, so only Lin Xiao and Li Fangfang can do it.

Under such careful care, Xiao Wanli recovered very well.

However, his gastric bleeding this time is quite severe and he needs to be hospitalized for at least half a month, so it is unlikely that he will be able to go home for the New Year.

One day before the New Year, Xia Xi and Lin Yao came to visit Xiao Wanli.

When she saw Xia Xi, Li Fangfang was stunned for a moment.

She was usually immune to women's beauty because her daughter was so beautiful that she had almost no rivals.

But...this Xia Xi.

She is too beautiful.

This is really the first time I’ve seen it.

Anyone who sees Xia Xi can tell what she looks like.

But soon, Li Fangfang felt relieved.

Because apart from her appearance, Xia Xi really doesn't look like a woman.

Moreover, her relationship with Lin Xiao is such that they treat each other as nothing and don't even consider each other as the opposite sex.

And this Lin Yao is Chengze's sister? In other words, Bubble's future aunt?

But she is younger than Bubble.

I am a bit introverted and shy. After I came here, I just focused on my work.

Even though this was not her job, she did not behave like a boss's sister at all.

Lin Yao really is the kind of person who works wherever he goes.

I feel uncomfortable when I have free time to chat with others.

I don’t know why, but Li Fangfang fell in love with Lin Yao all of a sudden and really liked holding her hand and talking to her.

Before, Li Fangfang was actually a little bit snobbish.

I am not very enthusiastic about girls from rural areas.

But the girl in front of him is Chengze’s sister, which is completely different.

Chengze now runs such a big company and is so rich, but his sister is still so simple.

In Li Fangfang's view, this is family education, this is the strength of one's heart.

It’s New Year’s Eve.

Xia Xi, Lin Yao, Su Tao, Bai Xiaoping and others went back to Lin Xiao's home to celebrate the New Year.

Su Tao and Bai Xiaoping wanted to stay, but were driven away by Li Fangfang.

"Why would we need that? Old Xiao can walk around now, so we don't need that many people."

........................

New Year's Eve!

Lin Xiao decided to stay and spend the New Year with Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang.

Paopao stayed in the hospital with Xiao Wanli, while Lin Xiao and Li Fangfang went home to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

This sense of ceremony is still necessary.

The dishes don’t have to be many, but they must be very exquisite.

"Chengze, your knife skills are really good."

"Wow, how come your steamed pork with pickled mustard greens is so delicious? You must have started steaming it yesterday, it's so delicious."

"And your loach and taro are so fresh."

"It's terrible. Auntie's cooking skills are going to be outdone by you."

I made five or six simple dishes, carefully packed each portion into a thermos box, and also brought some wine.

As for Xiao Wanli’s New Year’s Eve dinner, it was also very good.

Even though it was just a bowl of porridge.

But the porridge contains finely chopped shrimp and minced meat.

There are not only extra beds but also tables in the intensive care unit.

A family of four, sitting together.

Eating a delicious New Year’s Eve dinner.

"My porridge is really delicious. Why is it so delicious?" Xiao Wanli exclaimed as he drank it.

Li Fangfang said, "This was made by Chengze. The rice he used was very good. He used three kinds of meat paste, as well as shrimp. He also added some chopped celery at the end. How could it not be delicious? It's nutritious and delicious."

"This loach and taro dish, as well as the steamed pork with pickled mustard greens, were also made by Chengze."

The four of them laughed and talked happily.

Even if I have to spend New Year's Eve in the ward.

At this time, the sound of artillery fire outside was already coming one after another.

After dinner, it was only five o'clock.

It's not dark yet.

At this time, Li Fangfang said: "Chengze, take Bubble back to your home to celebrate the New Year."

Lin Xiao was stunned: "I will accompany you to celebrate the New Year."

Li Fangfang said: "It has already happened. Our family of four has finished the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Next, it's your turn to celebrate the New Year with Bubbles, so I didn't let you drink just now, so Auntie drank it herself."

"Your family has built a new house, and your grandparents, parents are looking forward to seeing you."

"Besides, we have such a beautiful daughter-in-law, Bubble, so we have to bring her back to see her."

"Well, as a family, we should talk simply and directly."

"let's go!"

"This is a little gift from Uncle Xiao and I for your grandparents and your parents. Take it back with you."

"By the way, I almost forgot."

"This is a red envelope for Chengze, and this is a red envelope for Paopao."

"Auntie wishes you two a happy and sweet life together."

Then, Li Fangfang pushed Lin Xiao and Momo out without saying a word.

Bubble looked back at his father and found that he was in good spirits and was standing there waving.

The two walked out the door.

Li Fangfang suddenly called Paopao and went to the next room to whisper something to him.

Momo ran out with a red face, took Lin Xiao's arm and waved, "Mom and Dad, bye!"

"We'll come back to see you tomorrow."

Looking at the backs of Lin Xiao and Paopao as they left.

The more Li Fangfang looked at him, the more they seemed to be a perfect match. She liked him more and more, and she leaned gently on her husband's shoulder.

"That's great, that's great..." Xiao Wanli also felt it was great.

Although he was sick and had surgery, he liked this cheerful atmosphere.

No sighs, no dullness, no solemnity.

The young couple was affectionate and the family was laughing happily.

It just makes people feel happy, cheerful and relaxed.

"Let's wait and watch the Spring Festival Gala..." Xiao Wanli said.

Li Fangfang said, "Before watching the Spring Festival Gala, watch another show first. Your leaders are going to pay New Year's greetings. This year is special for you, so they will definitely come here to comfort you."

Xiao Wanli said: "Fortunately Chengze and Paopao left, otherwise they would be even more impatient with these empty talk."

....................................

By the time Lin Xiao drove home, it was almost seven o'clock.

"It's here, it's here..."

As soon as I got off the bus, a group of people surrounded me almost immediately.

Mom, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma are all here.

Just wait at the intersection, your face is full of smiles.

But if you talk, you definitely can't hear me.

The sound of firecrackers was everywhere.

Today is New Year's Eve and the whole air is filled with gunpowder smoke.

"Is this... is this my granddaughter-in-law?"

“Is this my daughter-in-law?”

Grandpa and father Lin Huaili saw Bubble.

I was in disbelief and extremely happy at the same time.

Worthy, worthy.

Such a beautiful girl doll really seems to glow.

My Xiaoxiao is so awesome and has a good vision.

only……

She... isn’t she Xiaoxiao’s English teacher?
Grandpa was very satisfied, but at the same time he felt sorry because the other girl was also very good.

But grandma and mom don’t care about all that, they just think bubbles are good.

She is beautiful, clean and simple.

The key is to have a good figure.

You can tell at a glance that this butt can give birth to a baby.

Almost as soon as I got off the car, two people stuffed red envelopes in my hands.

Then, the group of people returned home in a lively manner.

Lin Xiao’s new house has been built.

It is definitely the best in the village, and even one of the best in the town.

Originally, Grandpa and Lin Huaili wanted to take care of it, but in the end, they didn't have to worry about anything from beginning to end.

Lin Xiao directly found a villa designer to design it.

Li Hu found a very good engineering team in the county to contract the construction of the villa.

From start to finish, it took only four months to complete.

Next, we started decorating without stopping.

The furniture is selected half a year in advance and then opened and placed in the warehouse for ventilation.

The renovation was completed three months ago and the furniture was moved in.

As for pollution such as formaldehyde, it is almost negligible.

Because most of the decoration inside the house is tiles and marble.

The walls in the bedroom are covered with wall cloth. Although it does not look as high-end as soft packaging, it has fewer pollution sources.

This decoration is nothing in a big city.

But in rural areas, it is absolutely first-class.

From start to finish, the total cost was about 80.

In 2002, we spent yuan to build and renovate the house, which is an astonishing figure.

When other people in the village, as well as relatives and friends, came to visit, they were even more amazed.

"This is not a house, this is the throne room."

"I don't even dare to step on this house or this ground."

"Xiaoxiao is really capable. He has made so much money just after entering college."

"I've only seen houses like this on TV."

My father, Lin Huaili, and my mother had just moved in and were both feeling a little uneasy.

I feel like I don't deserve to live in a house like this.

But grandpa enjoyed it very much and kept saying it again and again.

"Okay, okay, okay. Although it's not as big as the house back then, it's more beautiful and more comfortable."

"If Master Xiaoxiao knew that we also lived in such a big house, I don't know how happy he would be in the underworld."

"In those years, although our family had not yet fallen, Grandpa Xiaoxiao knew that there would be big changes in the future. So the year he passed away, every time he looked at me, he sighed, not knowing what the future would bring."

"Now he can rest assured. Father, although I have no ability, I am lucky."

"When I was young, I relied on my father. When I am old, I rely on my grandson."

"I have never suffered in my life, then I have never suffered..."

In fact, my grandfather had suffered a lot.

After spending several years in prison, he was beaten again after he was released.

During those years, he would always be present at any event, and he was even punished many times.

But he was born optimistic and felt that these experiences were not that painful.

It seemed as if the happiness of his youth could help him resist all the misfortunes of middle age.

In rural areas, people usually eat the New Year’s Eve dinner very early.

But Lin Xiao’s family’s New Year’s Eve dinner didn’t start until 7:30 in the evening.

However, as the saying goes, good food is never too late.

What's more, with so many people coming to our house this time, it's really lively.

In the past, when we celebrated the New Year at home, there were six of us in our family, and even on New Year’s Eve, we would still worry about money.

This time a large group of people came.

Qu Feifei, Xia Xi, Su Tao, and even Bai Xiaoping came to our house to celebrate the New Year.

All together, there are eleven people.

Xia Xi seldom speaks.

But, she is very happy.

Happier than any other year.

Eating New Year’s Eve dinner and drinking wine.

Everyone listened with great interest as grandpa told stories about his childhood.

"When disaster strikes, our family has money and food, so many people come to rob us."

"My father, Xiaoxiao's great grandfather."

"He directly set up dozens of tables for a buffet and said that he welcomes people to come and eat, but if they want to steal things or harm people, he will fight to the end."

"I remember it very clearly. There were more than a dozen militiamen, and each of them carried a gun."

"First, we'll fire a gun into the air, and then we'll treat you to a buffet."

"Then they started to put out the food. I fired a shot as well. It was so satisfying. So satisfying."

When he got excited, he started singing a little tune.

Because the family had business in Suzhou at that time and had to go there every year to take inventory, my grandfather often went to Suzhou with me when he was very young to play, listen to Pingtan and Kunqu opera.

After eating.

A group of people couldn't wait to bring out a bunch of fireworks.

These fireworks were not bought by Lin Xiao, but sent by Li Hu.

Upon asking, I found out these things are free.

Half a truckload of fireworks was delivered, and they were all high-end ones.

There is also a custom in the countryside that whichever family makes more money that year must set off the best fireworks.

So the whole village is waiting.

Lin Xiao's family built such a beautiful villa this year, and I heard it cost millions.

And if you start a big company outside, you will definitely make a lot of money.

So this year his fireworks will definitely be the best looking.

When the fireworks were about to be set off, Lin Huaili casually went over to say hello.

Suddenly, several young men came and moved the fireworks directly to the open field.

“Let the flowers bloom!”

“Let the flowers bloom!”

Someone brought over a lit cigarette and handed it to Lin Xiao.

"Zhuangyuanlang, you light the first firework!"

Lin Xiao stepped forward and lit the fireworks.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The dazzling fireworks rushed into the sky and exploded violently!

All the villagers immediately looked towards the sky.

What a big flower.

What beautiful flowers.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

Colorful fireworks continue to bloom in the sky.

This kind of fireworks is really expensive and beautiful.

There had never been such fireworks in the rural night sky in 2002.

"Bang bang bang bang spray..."

Fireworks in the sky kept setting off.

The crowd below kept cheering.

"It's Chinese New Year, it's Chinese New Year!"

........................

Note: Here is the first update. Although the Spring Festival has not yet arrived, I still wish everyone a happy Spring Festival! For those who have monthly tickets, please give me some cakes, okay?
