rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 259: Visit the Pier

"Worship the dock?"

At the exit next to the big tent, Chen Li looked at the fat person in charge with a red envelope in his hand with a puzzled expression.

"Yeah~ It's us who don't understand the rules, I'm sorry!"

The fat person in charge bowed to Chen Li and quietly pushed the red envelope into Chen Li's hand.

Chen Li was a little baffled by the fat person in charge's actions.

Just now, when he led his two sisters and his girlfriend's hand out of the tent, they were stopped by the fat person in charge.

The fat person in charge first handed Chen Li an Ashima ~ and then opened his mouth to apologize.

At first, Chen Li thought that the other party was apologizing because of the fight before the performance venue. But what the fat person in charge said next made Chen Li a little confused.

Chen Li learned from the fat person in charge that their song and dance troupe had just started performing, so they didn't understand the rules.

When we came to Erlong Town, we didn't know who to ask for help from the dock, so we offended Chen Li and others, and hoped that Chen Li would forgive him.

Then came the scene of stuffing red envelopes in front of my eyes.

"No~ Just wait a moment."

Although Chen Li was a little confused, he was not unfamiliar with the world. As soon as he heard the person in charge's words and his actions, Chen Li understood what the person in charge was doing.

Obviously, this guy seemed to have misunderstood something. Maybe it was because of the attitude Jiang Xiaojun and Braised Pork Deng had towards him just now that this guy thought he was a big brother in society?

So, this guy is really visiting the dock!

This kind of rule is actually a rule passed down from the ancient world.

Generally, when a troupe is going to perform somewhere, the troupe leader will lead the main actors and actresses and bring them letters from people who have close relations with the troupe and the local area. They also have to give a meeting gift and a red greeting.

Post a greeting card at the door.

Of course, this rule was basically quite popular during the Republic of China. The purpose was to implore the other party to take care of one's troupe during its performance.

Similarly, other people who are involved in the martial arts world also say this to some extent.

In modern times, this rule does not exist.

In fact, the most important thing is the social leaders, because if you don't take care of these people and go to a local performance rashly, someone might come out to cause trouble.

But to be honest, even Chen Li has never experienced this kind of dock worship.

He had only heard people say these things in his previous life, and he had never even seen them.

So when he met the fat person in charge, who was behaving like he was worshiping the dock, Chen Li was baffled and found it quite interesting.

But even though Chen Li was somewhat interested, he still didn't accept the red envelope. He didn't even open the red envelope to see how much money was inside.

This red envelope is not something you can take casually! If you take this red envelope, you must bear certain responsibilities. At the very least, you must ensure the safety of the other party's song and dance troupe in Erlong Town.

It's not that Chen Li can't protect the other party, but that he finds it troublesome.

Such a small amount of oil and water is not enough for Chen Li to put any thought into it.

"Brother~! You came to the wrong pier!"

"I don't burn incense in this temple!"

Chen Li stuffed the red envelope in his hand back, took Liu Qingqing's hand and left the tent.

In fact, Chen Li wanted to make a joke with the other party just now.

Although he has never experienced such things as visiting the dock, he has heard about it a lot, and the most important point is that Chen Li can even speak slang, and it is also the slang used by Pao Ge, who was once popular in the southwest.

Short videos of past lives are extremely popular. There are not only all kinds of monsters and monsters on them, but also all kinds of strange people and strange things. Anyway, you can find almost anything on them.

At that time, Chen Li had relatively free work, so he spent more time watching videos.

In addition, because I work in a nightclub, I always have to deal with people with gray influence.

One time when Chen Li was receiving a big brother from society, he happened to see him watching the video of a certain Internet celebrity. The video introduced the former Pao Gehui.

Later, Chen Li became very interested and followed the internet celebrity.

After watching more, I learned some superficial knowledge, such as some inexplicable incisions and so on.

Although it may not be standard, but if you fool the fat person in charge, there is probably no problem.

But in the end, Chen Li gave up this plan. The reason is also very simple. It is best not to make such jokes randomly.

Don't worry, if people really think that Chen Li is a member of the underworld, then report him directly, and that will be the end of the world.

Others don't know it, but Chen Li knows it very well. Next year will be the millennium, and a wave of anti-gang operations will be carried out in Huilong County.

In this operation, the battle was huge, just like Huang Biao's. Even if nothing happened before the millennium, he probably wouldn't be able to escape by the millennium.

So, it's best not to mess around with some things. If you get into trouble, it will be over.

Chen Li and his party went to the grain station, which was quite ridiculous.

The adults from several families were building the Great Wall at Li Yuan's house. Because mahjong is fun, the adults were ready to play it all day long, and even had lunch at Li Yuan's house.

But young people from several families gathered at Chen's house to eat leftovers.

Okay~ It’s actually good for the Chinese New Year, except for the leftovers from the reunion dinner, which I have to eat for two days.

It's better when there are a lot of people in the family. If you can't finish one meal, the second meal is almost finished.

If there are only a few people in the family, it will take at least two or three days to prepare a table for the Chinese New Year.

The Chen family had an extra child during the Chinese New Year this year, Wang Yan, but the little girl had a small appetite and couldn't eat much at all, so there was still a lot of food left over from the Chen family's New Year's Eve dinner.

The New Year's Eve dinner in Sichuan Province must be indispensable with various kinds of cured meats. In fact, the most leftovers from every New Year's Eve dinner are all kinds of cured meats.

For today's lunch, Chen Li wanted to get rid of the leftover cured meat from the family reunion dinner.

So, Chen Li directly fried a hot pot base and had hot pot for lunch today.

Twenty years later, hot pot can be said to be popular all over the country.

But in fact, many people may not know that not all people in Sichuan Province have eaten hot pot.

At least at this time in 1999, a lot of people in Erlong Town had never eaten hot pot.

Because there is no such thing in Erlong Town.

If you want to eat hot pot, you have to go to Huilong County or Nancheng City.

Erlong Town is a remote small town in a poor county across the country. Even if someone opens a hot pot restaurant, they will probably lose their pants.

Because in this small place, there will be no business at all, and no one will spend tens or even hundreds of dollars to eat hot pot.

Don't listen to the hot pot bosses boasting about hot pot culture. In fact, it's all just hype.

Chen Li can guarantee that before 2000, there were people in the Sichuan Provincial People's Congress who had never eaten hot pot.

And to be honest, before 2000, the popularity of hot pot was very low even in Sichuan Province.

Especially in some towns and villages, there is no environment to popularize hotpot.

At the very least, hot pot restaurants must be at the county level or even the city level to survive.

Of course, hot pot is no stranger to the Chen family. Even Li Yuan, Zhao Xiaoqiu and even Liu Qingqing have actually eaten hot pot.

The only person at the scene who had never eaten hot pot was Chen Li’s cousin Wang Yan.

The only time the little girl left Erlong Town in her life was when she followed Ms. Wang to the construction site in Chengdu during the summer vacation last year.

And even other people, so far, have not eaten hot pot more than once.

So everyone was very happy with this meal. After all, in their minds, hot pot can only be enjoyed by going to a restaurant.

Now you can have hot pot at home, which feels like another kind of enjoyment.

After dinner, no one went anywhere in the afternoon. Chen Xue and Wang Yan were watching TV in the room, while Chen Li and the others were playing music and playing dunks outside.

In the meantime, people of the same age came to see Chen Li from time to time. After all, Chen Li's reputation as the king of children cannot be overshadowed.

It's strange to say that Chen Li could hang out with this group of people before, but after he went to college for half a year, he suddenly felt that there was some distance between him and these friends.

So, this distance~!

People always say that distance creates beauty. There is some truth in this saying, but it is putting the cart before the horse.

Because what distance first produces is actually distance, and only then can it produce beauty.

Among them, distance is certain, beauty is possible, and the gap between the two goes without saying.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Chen Li felt that there was a lot of distance between him and his former friends, but he had no better way.

Because he will embark on the journey to Yanjing again tomorrow, so even if he gets along with these friends in the past, after a while, the gap caused by the distance will still appear.

So in the end, Chen Li could only helplessly watch those friends coming and going.

A few people played cards until the afternoon, and Chen Li sent Liu Qingqing to the minibus back to the county town.

Before leaving, Liu Qingqing held Chen Li's hand and said:

"When you get on the train tomorrow, remember to give me a call."

"Yeah~ I know!"

Chen Li decided in his mind that this time he went to Yanjing to buy a mobile phone for Liu Qingqing. Anyway, the cost of mobile phones is gradually declining, and Chen Li can afford it with his current financial resources!

After seeing off Liu Qingqing, Chen Li returned to Li Yuan's house. His parents were still playing mahjong here, and they planned to stay at Li Yuan's house for dinner.

Chen Li held up a bench and sat next to his mother to make suggestions.

From time to time, Ms. Wang would give me a few words because of wrong instructions.

Chen Li is not annoyed, he enjoys this kind of fun!

When Chen Li was lying on the bed that night, he did not enter the system, but chose to say something to himself!

"Chen Li~Happy New Year!"
