Metropolis: My Rising Life

Amidst the unforgettable singing tonight, the twelve o'clock bell rang, and the warm dumplings were already cooked and served on the dinner table.

Although everyone has a lot to eat in the evening, eating dumplings is a festive atmosphere. You don't have to eat as many as you need to eat just a few.

"Xiao Yi, this is your favorite leek and egg dumpling."

The big grandmother brought a plate of dumplings to Chen Yi with a smile on her face. The thin dumpling skin was light green. Chen Yi didn't like to eat dumplings very much. The only stuffing she liked was chives and eggs.

"Would you like vinegar?"

Grandma asked again.

"No, I'm not jealous. Grandma, sit here and take a break. Don't tire yourself. I'll just go and serve the dishes."

Chen Yi pressed the big grandma on the chair, and walked to the kitchen by himself.

The big grandmother was so happy too. She glanced at Chen Jin who was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, and she said: "...Look at Xiao Yi, looking at you!"

"...I am so many years older than others, I am still a sister-in-law. I just sit here lazily and don't take the initiative to help at all. Who dares to marry you in the future!"

When Chen Jin heard these words, she immediately said: "...Then I am not married yet!"

But after 733, she whispered again, "...just now he was sitting there like an uncle and doing nothing, this package of dumplings also has one-third of my credit."

Although she was whispering there, she didn't dare to say it loudly, knowing that if she said it, she would have to be scolded by her mother, and Chen Yi had an age advantage over her younger generation. Chen Jin could do nothing. no.

She also finally felt what it means to be someone else's child.

Chen Yi went to the kitchen to help his mother bring plates of dumplings to the coffee table and dinner table, so eating dumplings doesn't have to be so formal around the dinner table.

The grandma looked out the window and said with dissatisfaction: "...Now I won't let the cannon fire anymore, there is no Chinese New Year flavor at all."

A few years ago, the imperial capital still let the cannons be fired. As soon as twelve o'clock it was the sound of the cannons.

"Environmental pollution issues. That's what the state stipulates. We have to abide by the state regulations."

Grandpa interrupted at this moment.

"I just complained casually, and you told me the truth."

The big grandma stared back immediately.

The grandfather was stunned immediately, he dared not speak, and greeted Chen Yi quickly: "...Xiao Yi, come, eat dumplings and eat dumplings!"

Chen Yi smiled and ate the dumplings, but looking at the dumplings on his plate were all weird in shape, his face was weird.(Read more @ mtlarchive.com)

"Why don't you eat it!"

At this moment, Chen Jin brought a plate of dumplings and sat next to Chen Yi, looking at the strange-shaped things he was holding with his chopsticks, and said with a smile.

"Sister, you packaged this, right."

Chen Yi fiddled with the dumpling plate and found that all the leek and egg dumplings were in strange shapes. This was her intention.

"You don't think I'm making dumplings for you. Hurry up and try it!"

Chen Jin urged him.

Chen Yi had no choice but to pick up the dumplings and deliver them to his mouth, chewing them in two or two mouthfuls and swallowing them.

"How is the taste?"

Chen Jin asked quite expectantly.

"It tastes good, it's delicious."

Well, it smells like mom, so it looks like my mom did it.

Chen Jin smiled after hearing this, and said: "...not bad, not in vain, I made these dumplings for your eldest nephew."

Hearing what she said, Chen Yi just complained. The taste of the dumplings depends entirely on how the fillings are mixed and whether they are cooked or not. It has nothing to do with what you pack, please!

Although he was slanderous, Chen Yi knew that if he said it, he could not guarantee how his sister-in-law would compete with him, so he didn't say it at all.

A New Year’s Eve dinner is so happily that the family finished eating. Normally, tonight should be staying up all night, everyone playing mahjong or something.

But the grandpa and grandma were too old and couldn't stand it, and there was nothing left. At almost two in the morning, everyone decided to go to sleep.

There are a lot of guest houses in the courtyard, and everyone has a bedroom after they have been sorted out. Chen Yi regrets this and thinks he can sleep with my sister-in-law.

Before heading to his bedroom, Chen Yi caught Chen Jin and asked directly: "...Sister, what on earth do you want me to do for you? To be clear, I'll also be prepared."

He was thinking about what he promised his sister-in-law before.

"Hurt, it's not a big deal, you don't need to be prepared, when I call you, you can just follow me."

Chen Jin said indifferently, and then she smiled sweetly and said: "...not bad, big nephew, you remember this, don't blame sister-in-law that I always love you."

"Oh, still hurt me all the time, come, ignore you, I'm going to sleep!"

Chen Yi glanced at Chen Jin suspiciously, then waved his hand to ignore her, and returned to his bedroom.

On the first day of the new year, Chen Yi's family still lived here with Grandpa, and there was nothing to do for one day. Chen Yi stayed with Chen Jin for one day.

In the evening, their family of three is going back. Tomorrow is the second day of the second year, and they need to go to grandma's house.

Compared with his father’s side, my grandmother’s family has many relatives. Chen Yi has been relatively close since childhood. Uncle and aunt are also very kind to him. There is no such family disharmony in TV dramas and novels. Relatives have sharp mouths. Good thing.

But now that Chen Yi has developed, he also knows that there are some things he can't hide. He also has cousins ​​and cousins ​​at his grandma's house. In addition to his younger brother, the two sisters are already working, and they are just ordinary working-class workers.

Although Chen Yi will not turn his own business into a family business, and eventually become a bloated one, it is normal for these relatives to follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to the sky by himself.

Besides, these relatives are in a good relationship.

It may be a bit difficult to make them all rich and rich. It requires personal ability, but Chen Yi helps a little bit and it is fine to make them rich and rich.

Especially in some jobs, family members are more trustworthy than outsiders, and it’s okay to leave it to your relatives to do it. At the same time, it can also improve your status in the entire family so that both the elders and younger generations can listen to them.

The Spring Festival for two consecutive days is a trivial matter in the family. After the third grade, parents have to visit other relatives and friends. Fortunately, Chen Yi hasn't followed since he was a child, and finally has some free time.

He didn't bother to stay at home, so he ran to the hotel to find a bitch.

In the past few days of the festival, what Chen Yi feels more annoying is the festival messages sent by various subordinates and friends, and he has to reply to these messages.

Some were sent from Xiangjiang Chen Sir, some were sent from Pengcheng Li Ge and Zhang Jie, there were greetings from subordinates such as Qiu Lei and Han Yifan, as well as blessings from classmates, counselors and even department leaders.

There are invitations from the second generation of Hupugou friends from Shencheng and the Imperial Capital, as well as copying news from the elites and bigwigs in the society that Chen Yi has known during this period of time.

Before he knew it, he realized that he had already woven such a huge social network.

And the last thing is a message from Sister Mengmeng, a classmate in high school, "...Xiao Yizi, come out and get together!".
