rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 255 This year’s flavor is strong enough

According to the rules passed down by the elders, one must observe the New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve.

Of course, not many people actually follow this rule now because they really can’t stand it.

A few years later, many people would choose to stay up all night playing mahjong and games, but in 1999, an era when ordinary people's pockets had not really grown, these entertainment methods could not be developed for the time being.

In the early years of the Chen family, Chen Li's father, Chen Guofu, watched TV alone at night and stayed up until dawn.

But in recent years, this rule has gradually become useless.

So even on New Year's Eve, the Chen family fell asleep after the Spring Festival Gala.

Chen Li returned to his room, and after going to bed, he habitually entered the system space. As soon as he entered, he was startled.

"System? What are you doing? Are you buying skins?"

Chen Li looked at the decorated system space and was speechless for a while.

You must know that it has been more than six years since he got the system, and seven Spring Festivals alone have passed. This is the first time he has seen the system space decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

“It’s the Spring Festival, and I wish the host a happy Spring Festival!”

"Today is the beginning of a year, a new year, a new atmosphere, and new content waiting to be discovered by the host!"

A gentle and sweet voice sounded, and Chen Li almost thought he heard wrongly.

"System? Is this another upgrade?"

Chen Li could tell that the sound of this system was a little more anthropomorphic compared to the previous mechanical sound.

To put it bluntly, the pronunciation of the system now is more like the pronunciation of a normal person. Well, it is still a female voice.

Don't tell me~ the voice is pretty nice.

But then, Chen Li realized something was wrong. He didn't receive the promotion task from the system at all?

"The system is not upgraded, but the AI ​​system has been restored to a certain extent."

Yo~ The system responded very smoothly this time. In the past, every time Chen Li asked a question, the system might not be able to give an answer. This time, Chen Li said to himself, the system gave a response.

It seems that just as the system said, the AI ​​system has recovered well.

Huh? Recovery?

Chen Li seemed to feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a reason. Moreover, at the moment, he was more concerned about the new content that the system just said than thinking about this problem.

"What's the new content?"

Chen Li asked directly, and then.

"Ding dong~!"

As a system sound effect sounded, a large turntable appeared in front of Chen Li.

"This is a newly developed lottery roulette wheel by the system. The final interpretation of this event is right"

"Stop~stop!"

Before the system finished speaking, Chen Li shouted stop. And his behavior once again proved the improvement of the system's AI, because the system really stopped talking.

This is actually a very incredible thing. You must know that no matter how Chen Li stopped the system in the past, the system would continue according to the original settings, but the current system is more like a human mind.

"System, are you trying to trick me?"

Chen Li didn't even bother to look at the big roulette wheel in front of him and just tilted his head.

As we all know, almost all lottery draws are unreliable.

Just like the scratch lottery the year before last, Chen Li didn't hear that anyone in the county won the first prize.

Coupled with Chen Li's distrust of lottery tickets in his previous life, he had already determined one thing

There will be no pie in the sky!

Therefore, Chen Li subconsciously rejected this lottery roulette wheel. However.

When Chen Li set his sights on the lottery roulette wheel, he was not calm at all.

I won’t talk about the small rewards, everything is used, but let’s talk about the first prize of this lottery roulette wheel.

Choose any item from the system mall!

I giao~!

If he wins this thing, then Chen Li can directly win the Great Wall Defense System.

Damn it~ That thing is worth 1 billion?

And just when Chen Li was shocked, the system started to answer again.

"This event is based on the principles of fairness, openness and impartiality"

"Wait a minute~!"

Chen Li was shocked~ The system suddenly said this. Chen Li was speechless for a moment.

This kind of tone, when you think about the previous final right of interpretation and so on, it feels very deceptive to Chen Li!

Chen Li waved his hand and interrupted the system's answer again.

However, Chen Li did not leave the system directly. He looked at the lottery roulette.

1,000 mall coins per time, Chen Li looked at his mall currency. It was five digits~!

"Stop saying anything, I'll do it first!"

1,000 yuan ~ Chen Li thought he could give it a try.

And he knows very well that generally this kind of lottery-style thing will basically give some benefits at the beginning.

After all, this kind of thing is obviously created by the system to stimulate consumption. To put it bluntly, the system wants Chen Li to earn mall currency faster.

In this case, the system will usually give him some sweetness first, and then unknowingly dig a hole for Chen Li.

Now Chen Li is ready to take advantage of this advantage first and not jump into the pit.

Hehe~hey.

“Thank you for your patronage~Welcome to come again!”

As an almost childish sound came from the roulette wheel, the pointer of the roulette wheel pointed to the part that occupied the largest space in the roulette wheel.

"Fuck~!"

Chen Li was speechless~! This system is really worthless~ It’s not even willing to give you any sweetness?

"Is it because you are too unlucky? Try again?"

Chen Li looked at his mall currency again, and found that there were still more than thirteen thousand.

Finally, Chen Li had a sudden change of heart and decided to spend the extra three thousand yuan.

“Thank you for your patronage~Welcome to come again!”

“Thank you for your patronage~Welcome to come again!”

"Congratulations on getting the secret dipping recipe No. 64! Welcome to visit again!"

When he heard different sound effects coming from him, Chen Li subconsciously felt happy, but then his whole body became numb.

"Secret dipping sauce. Secret dipping sauce."

"No. 64~No. 64!"

Chen Li directly entered the system mall, clicked on the recipe column, and searched for the secret dipping recipe No. 24.

"one!"

"System~I'm going to fuck you, you bastard!"

Chen Li looked at the only item he drew, which was worth up to one hundred mall coins.

Yes ~ almost all cooking recipes are sold for 100 yuan in the system mall.

There are only a few recipes that are said to be lost, and the prices are relatively expensive, but overall they are not very high.

So when Chen Li saw the formula at first, his heart dropped.

After seeing the price of formula No. 64, Chen Li's heart completely dropped.

Then Chen Li exited the system mall.

There's no way around it, this system really doesn't follow the rules. Where's the promised sweetener? Where's the temptation? Where's the seduction?

This broken system didn't even throw out any bait, so it was just trying to catch a big fish like him?

Impossible ~ absolutely impossible!

The four thousand mall currency will be given to the system by Chen Li as lucky money!

Of course, that's what he said, but in fact, Chen Li was really angry that night.

It was so cruel that it was almost past four in the morning before he fell asleep in a daze.

Obviously no one is keeping the New Year's Eve tonight, but Chen Li seems to be keeping the New Year's Eve again, which makes him speechless.

Chen Li went to bed at four o'clock and got up after seven o'clock.

There was no way~ He was woken up by his mother, and the reason was very simple. He couldn't sleep in late on the first day of the new year.

There is something to be said for this!

It is said that in the early years, people regarded early morning as the most important thing. As the first day of the New Year is the first day of the year, one must get up early.

This means that you can be one step ahead in the coming year and put early first. This is a good sign.

There are actually many rules on this day, such as no pouring water outside!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no matter whether it is the water you use to wash your face, the water you use to brush your teeth, or even the water you use to wash vegetables, wash rice, and cook, you must not pour it out.

On this day, domestic water will be poured into a large bucket, and it will not be poured out until the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It is said that because water represents wealth, pouring water on New Year's Day is equivalent to driving "wealth" away.

The same rules apply, why can’t you sweep the floor? You can’t get your hair cut during the first month, etc.

In short, China has five thousand years of cultural heritage and a lot of various rules, and each place even has its own different rules.

Just like in Erlong Town, what is eaten on New Year's Eve is not dumplings, but the reunion dinner, and dumplings are eaten on New Year's Day.

Dumplings on the first grade of junior high school and noodles on the second grade of junior high school.

So this morning’s breakfast is red soup dumplings.

Although Chen Li went to bed after four o'clock, Chen Guofu got up before six o'clock.

Kneading the dough, rolling out the dough, and making dumplings, all by one person.

When Chen Li was a child in his previous life, the day he looked forward to most was the first day of the new year.

Not only because there are enough dumplings on this day, but also because on this day, you can go out and spend money.

Because his parents would always leave him some pocket money on New Year's Eve, usually on the first day of the new year, Chen Li would take Chen Xue to the market in Erlong Town to spend money.

For example, buy a box of firecrackers! They must be firecrackers, as firecrackers are not of high quality.

There are also firecrackers, which are a little more expensive than firecrackers. Even more expensive are all kinds of fireworks.

Before going to bed last night, Chen Li took Chen Xue and Wang Yan to set off a lot of fireworks.

He didn't have this kind of money before, and it was impossible for his parents to spend money to buy him a bunch of fireworks.

So this year's Spring Festival, Chen Li had a great time.

It's a pity that Liu Qingqing went back to the county town to celebrate the New Year. Otherwise, it would be the most romantic thing for lovers to set off fireworks together.

Finally, after Chen Li finished eating the dumplings for breakfast, he led his two younger sisters who had put on new clothes out the door.

As for Chen Guofu and Wang Dongmei, they also followed the three of them out of the grain station.

There were five people in the group, but they were actually divided into two groups!

Chen Li, in suits and ties, and his two younger sisters were going to join Liu Qingqing, Li Yuan and others, while Chen Guofu and Wang Dongmei were going to Li Yuan's house to build the Great Wall!

Well~it’s actually just playing mahjong!

Neither Chen Guofu nor Wang Dongmei are good at gambling, but there is nothing wrong with having a game of mahjong with family and friends during this kind of holiday.

When a group of people arrived at Li's house, Chen Li took his two sisters in his arms and walked in first. As soon as they entered the door, Chen Li started shouting.

"Uncle Li~ We are here to pay New Year's greetings."

"I wish Uncle Li and his family a happy New Year, may the whole family be happy, may the business get better and better every year, and may the wealth get better and better every year."

As he spoke, Chen Li cupped his hands and winked at his two younger sisters.

Chen Xue understood immediately and imitated Chen Li's example, holding up her hands and saying:

“New Year’s greetings to Uncle Li!”

Wang Yan's reaction was obviously a little slow. The most important thing was that she was not familiar with the Li family.

But because Chen Li and Chen Xue took the lead, Wang Yan also followed their example and raised her hands. However, this girl was still too introverted when facing outsiders, so she didn't speak at all.

"Okay~Okay! Happy New Year~Happy New Year!"

Li Dazhi in the room also stood up at this moment, and took out a stack of red envelopes from his body with a smile. It was a real stack!

It was obvious that Li Dazhi was well prepared. He selected the three largest red envelopes from the red envelopes and handed them to Wang Yan and Chen Xue in sequence. When he finally arrived at Chen Li, Li Dazhi was suddenly speechless.

"I said ~ boy!"

"You are already in college. And your business is bigger than mine. Isn't it appropriate that you come to me to ask for a red envelope?"

Li Dazhi looked at Chen Li's open palm and said, but after all, Li Dazhi still sent the red envelope to Chen Li.

"Hehe~Thank you, Uncle Li!"

"Thank you Uncle Li."

"Thanks!"

Chen Li chuckled, patted the heads of the two little girls next to him, and the three of them thanked Li Dazhi in unison.

"Lao Li~ Happy New Year!"

"Lao Chen~ Happy New Year to you too!"

At this time, Chen Guofu and Wang Dongmei from behind also walked in. As soon as they came in, people on both sides started talking to each other about New Year greetings!

Then Li Yuan also came over to wish Chen Li's parents New Year's greetings, and received a red envelope by the way.

Speaking of which, Li Yuan is a good deal.

His old man gave Chen Li, Chen Xue, and Wang Yan a big red envelope of 200 yuan, but Chen Li's old man gave Li Yuan a big red envelope of 600 yuan.

According to common sense, this money will usually be collected and saved by the children's parents.

But now that Li Yuan is a college student, the money naturally falls into his own pocket.

The New Year greetings here are over, and the Chen and Li families are getting ready to build the Great Wall. At this time, Zhao Xiaoqiu and her father, who live next door to Li Yuan's family, also came over.

This was another New Year's greeting. Chen Li and others received another red envelope, and Zhao Xiaoqiu also received a big red envelope.

So, the three families invited two acquaintances from their neighbors, and the three families gathered together two tables of mahjong and started building the Great Wall.

As for Chen Li and others, they had already gathered together and set off towards Xinjiekou in Erlong Town.

Along the way, the sound of various firecrackers kept ringing. Some naughty children even threw the smoking firecrackers at the feet of passers-by.

As the firecracker exploded, passers-by were startled, but the child who threw the firecracker burst out laughing and started running away.

On the street, familiar people of the same age kept saying hello to Chen Li and others, and everyone's face was beaming with joy.

Chen Li led his two younger sisters through the crowd of New Year greeters, with an expression of great enjoyment on his face!

"Hmm~ This year's flavor is enough!"
