    ?

    For this Spring Festival, Li Shaohui was extremely disappointed. He couldn't shirk it after gathering with his relatives and friends several times, but he couldn't escape the bad luck.  For example, when my aunt came to visit, she had to interrogate Li Shaohui about the major events in her life, and asked if Li Shaohui had a date, and if he could show everyone the photos.

    Li Shaohui smiled helplessly, and didn't know how to answer. There are many photos in the phone, but most of them are from the paradise on earth by himself. Other than that, they are all kinds of photos that he and Xiao Bei promised that the three of them had fun in the room  , If you want them to see this, don't you become a playboy through and through?

    ? Li Shaohui's guilty response made the elders even more anxious. Some of them wanted to introduce someone, some suggested offering incense and worshiping Buddha, and some even asked for the horoscope of their birthday, saying they were looking for someone to count

    Li Shaohui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't stand the interrogation of his neighbors and relatives, so he simply pretended to be sick and hid in his room. At the same time, he was also thinking: "Whenever the Spring Festival became a torment, I started looking forward to it a few months ago when I was a child."

    At night, Li Shaohui's torment did not ease, but became more and more serious.

    At dinner time, the uncle and the seventh uncle visited Li Shaohui's house. After drinking for three rounds, the uncle regretted his insistence on letting Li Shaohui's cousin go to school because Li Shaohui's cousin was over 30 years old.  A shocking speech, to the effect that reading is useless.

    Because reading misses the best time in life, children of the same age as Li Shaohui¡¯s cousin go out to work after finishing junior high school. Those who are capable and thoughtful can bring back a daughter-in-law for free.  Money can also get married early.

    When Li Shaohui's generation came out of college, they found that there were college students everywhere in the society, and that college diploma was not worth a lot of money, and at this time, people were more realistic. Marriage only valued material things such as houses and cars.  Conditions, not many people will consider character potential stocks or something.

    Just at this time, the real estate industry is booming, house prices are soaring, and the cost of getting married is also skyrocketing.  Many people were so scared that they didn't dare to mention the word "marriage" again, and could only watch with envy that children of their age were playing soy sauce all over the world.

    "In my opinion, let Chengzi get in the door backwards, and it won't cost much." Uncle Seven took a puff of cigarette and said slowly.

    "Bullshit, I'm just a son, and I went to bark the door backwards, where do you want me to put my face?" The uncle glared at Uncle Qi and said angrily.

    Cheng Zi is the uncle's son and Li Shaohui's eldest brother. He will be 37 after the new year.  He has been excellent in both learning and learning since he was a child, and is the first college student in the village.

    In the year when he was admitted to the university, the whole village came to congratulate his uncle. The uncle was also very cheerful, boasting to everyone, and walking with his back straight. Li Shaohui still vividly remembers the kind of pride unique to honest people.

    However, Cheng Zi went to graduate school and took a Ph. D., and he has been working in his thirties.  He is a bit like Yu Qiangzhai, a workaholic who devotes himself to work, but his temperament is relatively straightforward, and he is not favored in the workplace, so after a few years of development, he is still not ideal, but he is very stubborn.  Before achieving a career, he would never get married, but this made the uncle very anxious, and the villagers also began to gossip, saying that reading would damage the brain and so on.

    "The world has changed. Being a door-to-door son-in-law is not necessarily bad. Like the little black egg in our village, he has been stupid since he was a child. No one cares about him, but he is inserted into the next village. He has children, builds a house and buys money.  Car, don¡¯t delay anything.¡± Uncle Qi tried to persuade the uncle again.

    The uncle put the wine glass heavily on the table, and scolded loudly: "You are the youngest in the family, and everyone has been spoiled by you since childhood, but looking at you, you can say these words.

    The door-to-door son-in-law has a good appearance, but he is called around behind his back, without dignity, don't you know?  For example, little black egg, for a while last year, after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, he had to farm for his father-in-law outside!  "

    Li Shaohui's father was the only one of their brothers who worked in a government agency. He stopped the quarrel between the two brothers at the right time and changed the subject.

    ?But Li Shaohui was amazed, he did not expect such a thing that refreshed the three views to happen before his eyes.  He thought of his cousin Chengzi again. Although he hadn't seen each other for several years, he could still understand his cousin's situation.  In ancient times, there were many scholars and famous scholars who were unable to repay their ambitions and unsatisfactory official careers because of their integrity and unwillingness to join forces, let alone now.

    From this, Li Shaohui thought about the current social situation. The students have been studying for nearly twenty years, and they have learned kindness, integrity, and knowledgebut when they are born in society, they will find that what they have learned before cannot be given to others.  Bring benefits to yourself, but may become a stumbling block.  Therefore, smart people will let go of their principles and re-learn intrigue, sophistication and indifference. After they learn it, they will get along like ducks in water;Those who do not want to learn will be considered noble or poor.

    Li Shaohui¡¯s college roommate, Yuan Gang, originally planned to open a hand-made shop. His creativity, operation model, products and services are all very good, but he got stuck in a series of procedures for opening a shop, and was stuck many times.  Frustrated, I finally reluctantly gave up the project.  He didn't expect that in their small county, the rules of officialdom and social relations could be so dark, and it was as difficult as ever to do things without money.

    Li Shaohui survived the New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival at home with difficulty, and finally on the eighth day of the eighth day, he was able to return to the local city and planned to return to Shanghai by car the next day.

    When returning to the city, Uncle Li Shaohui drove him to pick him up. He is a straightforward person who always speaks straightforwardly and never beats around the bush.  Seeing Li Shaohui, he asked, "Xiaohui, you're already this old, why don't you get a partner and prepare to start a family?"

    "Well, I'm working on it."

    "I asked your cousin, and he said you don't have any!" Uncle's words were like the upright child in "The Emperor's New Clothes", which made Li Shaohui smile wryly.

    "Well, it hasn't been decided yet, but it will be almost this year."

    "This year? I don't think you're good enough. I don't know who you are." After Uncle Li Shaohui finished speaking, he seemed to smile a little disdainfully.  Assuming there was no seizure, he went back to his room and began to pack his belongings.

    Uncle Li Shaohui didn't notice this, and was still chatting loudly, but his mother was careful, saw Li Shaohui's abnormality, and hurriedly followed Li Shaohui into the room to persuade him.

    After the meal, Li Shaohui sat in the co-pilot, Li Shaohui's cousin, his wife and his sister sat in the back of the car, the three of them first discussed clothes and cosmetics, and then chatted about family affairs, talking about the half-year time spent in school by the cousin who just entered the freshman year  Hearing the matter of changing the three partners, Li Shaohui felt uneasy and didn't dare to start a conversation. He was afraid that he would be asked, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

    Back in the city, Li Shaohui got out of the car alone and went shopping on the street because he wanted to buy some special products to bring to Shanghai.

    When passing by the Civil Affairs Bureau, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

    At this time, the Civil Affairs Bureau was very lively, with people coming and going and noisy like a vegetable market.

    Some of the crowd glared at each other, some turned their eyebrows coldly, and of course some yelled at each other, and you pushed and shoved each other.  They flocked to the counter, eager to get a divorce, as if the divorce certificate was a lottery ticket of 5 million yuan, with which they could get rich and run towards happiness.

    Time passed slowly, and this bustling phenomenon intensified. During the short time Li Shaohui observed, several couples walked in.

    In this thriving market, the omnipotent profession of "scalpers" is once again applied. They walk through the crowd with mischievous eyes and sell ranked tickets.  It boiled up.

    Li Shaohui was speechless, and suddenly remembered what Shi Lei said: "Marriage is a mistake, divorce is liberation, and remarriage is obsession." At that time, he didn't think so, but thinking about it now, it seems quite reasonable.

    The next day, when Li Shaohui boarded the train, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The anticipation before returning home, the embarrassment and anxiety after returning home, and the relaxation at this time made Li Shaohui have mixed feelings. He is a very home-loving person.  In the past, every time I left, I couldn't sleep the night before, feeling melancholy.

    But what about now?  Li Shaohui smiled wryly, and planned not to go back in the next Spring Festival.

    And this Spring Festival, which Li Shaohui lived the most uneasy in his life, finally made Li Shaohui understand a word for the first time-life is like a year.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
