- "Ding dong ding dong!" The doorbell rang.
Chen Yao put down his tea cup, stood up and walked over to open the door.
It¡¯s cousin Chen Ruoxi and her daughter Li Mengmeng. The little girl is eating a lollipop and looking at Chen Yao unblinkingly.
Knowing that her cousin was coming back for the New Year, she brought her daughter over to have New Year¡¯s Eve dinner together tonight.
"Happy New Year, uncle." Li Mengmeng said with a smile.
"Come in." Chen Yao turned around and sat back on the sofa.
"Do you have any gifts, uncle?" Li Mengmeng blinked and looked at him expectantly.
Every year when Chen Yao comes back, he always brings gifts, and the little girl always thinks about it.
Chen Ruoxi knocked her head gently and said with a smile: "It's not polite to ask for gifts as soon as you meet."
Chen Yao turned around and pulled out a box from his backpack. The box opened and inside was a brand new legendary mobile phone mate2.
The market price is 6,999 yuan, so I gave it to her as a gift.
"Wow!" Li Mengmeng's eyes lit up. She had wanted to own one for a long time, but her parents were unwilling to buy it for her.
"Thank you, uncle." Taking the phone in his hand, Li Mengmeng started to activate the system and started playing.
"Ding dong; ding dong!" Another guest came.
Chen Yao walked over quickly and opened the door.
A large group of people appeared in front of them, two middle-aged men and women, three young men and women, and two children.
It¡¯s just that Chen Yao doesn¡¯t even know him, he doesn¡¯t look like a relative of his own.
"Old friend, you are here, I haven't seen you for many years!"
When Chen Guodong saw them, he immediately put down the newspaper and walked towards them.
Seven people walked in, and Chen Guodong invited them to sit on the sofa. He received a call in the morning that they would be guests at his home. They thought he was joking, but he didn't expect them to really come.
The middle-aged man took the tea cup and said with emotion: "Old Chen, think of it, we haven't seen each other for thirty years, right?"
"Yes, we were still young men in our twenties back then, and in the blink of an eye we are almost sixty years old." Chen Guodong was also quite emotional. He smiled and handed the other party a cigarette.
The middle-aged uncle took a deep breath from his cigarette and said, "If it hadn't been for the collapse of that state-owned enterprise, I wouldn't have gone to the United States, let alone become the boss."
Chen Yao didn¡¯t say anything, he just sat drinking Coke and listened for a while, finally knowing who he was?
This middle-aged uncle¡¯s name is Luo Zhifan. Thirty years ago, he and Chen Guodong worked in the same state-owned enterprise. They worked hard together and formed a deep friendship.
Later, the state-owned enterprise closed down and Chen Guodong had to leave, while Luo Zhifan went to work as a cabin worker in an ocean trading company.
By chance, because of his hard work, he was chosen by an American company as a cabin supervisor. He rose through the ranks and later became the general manager of the North American branch.
After I got my green card, I stayed in the United States and founded an international ocean shipping company, which was considered to be the pinnacle of my life.
Thirty years later, he returned to his hometown again and remembered his good friends from back then. He called Chen Guodong and said he would come over to his house as a guest.
The middle-aged woman with wavy curly hair is her wife, and the three young men and women next to her are his son, daughter-in-law, and eldest granddaughter. As for the two children, they are naturally his grandsons.
After not seeing each other for decades, there is always a lot to say.
Chen Guodong smiled happily and said, "How about we go to a nearby hotel tonight and have New Year's Eve dinner together?"
Luo Zhifan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
In the evening, Happy Hotel.
The local five-star high-end hotel naturally has a high consumption level.
Chen Yao, Lin Yuhan, and Ouyang Mei followed Chen Guodong to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
At the same time, Luo Zhifan¡¯s family members were also present, plus other uncles, aunts, cousins, and there were about fifty people in this New Year¡¯s Eve dinner.
Chen Yao took Xiao Mengmeng in his arms and took the elevator upstairs, surrounded by Luo Zhifan's family.
"Are you Chen Guodong's son?" Luo Zhifan looked over and asked with a smile.
Chen Yao responded casually: "Yes."
"Is that your daughter? She's so cute?" Luo Zhifan looked at Li Mengmeng.
Chen Yao said: "My little niece."
"Not married yet?"
"Not yet."
Luo Zhifan chuckled and wanted to ask a few more questions. The elevator door opened and he and his family walked out of the elevator.
The restaurant on the ninth floor of the hotel has six tables, each?The table has eight people and is just full.
The meals were ordered in advance, and soon after we sat down, the hot and fragrant food was served.
"Old Chen, have you stopped drinking? Why don't you order a drink?" Luo Zhifan said with a smile.
Chen Guodong told the waiter: "Send two bottles of Erguotou."
"Hey, the combination is not satisfying." Luo Zhifan said: "If you want to drink, drink Maotai. Waiter, give me two bottles of Feitian!"
During the Chinese New Year period, Maotai liquor is highly speculated, especially Feitian, which has been speculated to 5,000 yuan a bottle.
"Okay." The waiter turned around and walked out quickly.
"Old Chen, you must be worried about the money, right? I will pay for this meal." Luo Zhifan said boldly.
Chen Guodong feels sorry for the money, but he just doesn¡¯t like drinking this kind of wine. Not everyone likes the sauce-flavored wine, but he is so generous, so he is not polite to him.
In the middle of the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, a child jumped down after eating enough and ran to Chen Guodong to ask for a red envelope.
¡°Congratulations on getting rich, here¡¯s the red envelope.¡± He is Luo Zhifan¡¯s grandson, Xiaobin.
It seemed a bit impolite to ask for a red envelope directly, but Chen Guodong didn't mind. He touched his pocket and handed him a red envelope with the God of Wealth printed on it.
Xiao Bin took the red envelope in his hand with a face full of joy, and then
He opened the red envelope directly.
Inside, there is a 20 yuan RMB note.
Xiaobin shook his head, put the money back into the red envelope and turned around to play.
Chen Guodong was stunned, so embarrassed!
This kid who grew up in the United States doesn¡¯t understand Chinese etiquette at all. He actually opened the red envelope in front of him with a look of disgust on his face.
Relatives and friends around me all saw the amount of the red envelope, which was only 20 yuan.
It¡¯s so embarrassing.
"Haha." Luo Zhifan smiled.
He took out a big red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Li Mengmeng: "Little Mengmeng, right? This is the red envelope given to you by your uncle."
"Oh." Li Mengmeng reached out and took the big red envelope in her hand. She was also very curious and wanted to open it, but she remembered that her mother had said that it was impolite to open the red envelope in front of adults.
"Take it apart, take it apart and take a look." Luo Zhifan said generously.
Li Mengmeng couldn¡¯t wait, opened the red envelope and took out the coins.
Immediately, everyone present was surprised.
They were all 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. Li Mengmeng moved her mouth and counted how much money she had.
Luo Zhifan asked knowingly: "Li Mengmeng, how much is it?"
Li Mengmeng¡¯s childish voice shouted: ¡°20 tickets, twenty thousand!¡±
This uncle is really rich. He just gave away a red envelope for 20,000 yuan.
However, Chen Guodong¡¯s face turned red and he felt really embarrassed. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
