Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 374 Christmas

"You are just arguing, do you know what the difference is?" Liu Jinhui gently patted the child lying next to him and said with a smile.

"It's different. Today's children can no longer understand how hard it was when we were in school, especially as there are more and more only children. They have to put food on the table to open their mouths. This kind of volunteer work can at least make them realize that labor is not a joke.

!”

"You've started to go online again!" Liu Jinhui reminded.

Li Weidong said with a self-deprecating smile, "This is not a step-by-step guide, it's just something I feel!"

What later generations saw, it is a bit too early to lament now, and it is obviously inappropriate.

"Okay, don't get carried away with your feelings here. Hurry up and take a shower and go to bed without even looking at what time it is!" Liu Jinhui didn't want to discuss this boring issue with him anymore.

"Should I take a shower first?" Li Weidong asked. Anyone who has got married knows that the affirmative sentence and the interrogative sentence of this sentence are different. The interrogative sentence means are there any activities tonight?

"Wash it or not, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep!" Liu Jinhui rolled her eyes at Li Weidong, but this glance lacked the charm of the past. Li Weidong knew that the war would cease tonight!

Most men are mean-spirited. They want to have it when they can’t get it, but they don’t want to use it when they can have it every day. They even call it moderation!

Li Weidong woke up early in the morning, feeling refreshed. Sure enough, a cow needs more rest to be healthy, and the quality of his sleep has improved several levels.

Looking at the people sleeping in different positions on the bed, Li Weidong's arm was still pressed under Li Qian's leg. If he wanted to take it out, he had to move the child's body first.

Fortunately, the bed is big, otherwise it would be really difficult for the family to lie down. Originally, with this little one, they would have to be separated from Li Qian, or they would each bring one, but Li Qian was unwilling and tried several times.

No, the couple just accepted their fate.

I could only separate the two children, one on each side. I couldn't sleep well at night. I always felt that the older one was rolling around and suppressing the younger one.

Li Weidong got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face. After going downstairs, he saw Xie Ming and others studying a huge Christmas tree in the yard!

"What are you busy with? Where did you get this thing?" Li Weidong walked over and asked. He couldn't remember when he said he wanted to get one.

"Early this morning, Mr. Luo sent it. He said that tomorrow is Christmas. Seeing that we were not prepared, he sent one!" Xie Ming said with a smile.

They all come from the mainland, so naturally they are not interested in things like Christmas, but when they come to Hong Kong Island, they have to follow the local customs, not to mention that the mainland has started to celebrate Christmas, so they can have fun and be lively.

As long as it is a foreign holiday, regardless of whether it commemorates Jesus or Satan, it is acceptable, but it is not enough to show the openness and fashion of the Chinese people.

"It's so big that it needs to be fixed properly. Don't fall down and hit people!" Li Weidong didn't have many ideas about this Christmas, but young people liked it.

This young man is naturally his wife and sister!

"You can see where to put it. We will definitely fix it!" Xie Ming added, looking very confident. This is also a safety issue and must be properly considered.

"What's the point of this thing? Is it the same as our incense stand? Don't adjust it in the wrong position!"

Li Chengwen washed up and went downstairs. He didn't have to go to work today. He had to take holidays on statutory holidays. Otherwise, the salary would be too high and the work would be in vain. He also joined in the fun when he saw the Christmas tree.

"Can't you be so particular?" Li Weidong claims to be well-informed and has seen all the fireworks in the world, but he still doesn't know how to celebrate Jesus' birthday.

Sister Ding said from the side, "It doesn't matter so much. It can be placed indoors or outdoors. A big one like this can be placed in the yard, or it can be placed in a small living room!"

It will be easier if there is someone who understands. Xie Ming and others fixed the Christmas tree on the spot.

After breakfast, Liu Jinhui and Li Weihong decorated the Christmas tree with some ribbons and light strips, put a star on the top of the tree, and a peaceful festive atmosphere appeared.

Li Qian drove the car in circles under the tree. He was very happy with this big toy. Of course, he was probably even more interested in the colorful candies in Li Weihong's hand.

In the evening, Shen Yueying prepared a sumptuous dinner according to the specifications of domestic New Year's Eve dinner. She didn't know where she heard that Christmas Eve is equivalent to Chinese New Year's Eve.

Isn't it the same thing? Christmas Eve is the opening night of Christmas, and New Year's Eve is the prelude to the Spring Festival. No matter how you compare them, they all have the same purpose.

After dinner, Li Weihong was curious about what mass was like and encouraged everyone to go to the church to see how they did it, but none of them were followers of Jesus.

In the end, no one wanted to go out, so it was settled.

Li Weidong asked Sister Ding to prepare a basket of apples in advance, handed one to each person, and said, "On Christmas Eve, eating apples is the right thing to do, and having a mass dinner is just for amateurs!"

"It's a lie. I really thought I was going to eat apples on Christmas Eve. I didn't know until I came to Hong Kong Island. I wonder who made this up!" Li Weihong said, taking a bite of the apple.

Li Weidong was naturally suspicious of this statement, but he had not verified what was going on. He only knew that it was true that apples were eaten on Christmas Eve in China.

Moreover, the apples we ate were all expensive. Later, they were sold at sky-high prices on special occasions. One apple could be sold for several kilograms, probably because the packaging was so exquisite.

Now that I think about it, this is simply levying an IQ tax. The key is that I still enjoy it, so I can't blame others.

"I think it's good. Eating apples means peace. It's a good sign. Eat them all, eat them all!" Shen Yueying agrees with the idea of ​​eating apples.

Of course, the premise of approval is that the price cannot be too expensive, otherwise she will definitely not buy it.

Li Weihong felt that this Christmas was completely different from what she expected and heard. There was no festive atmosphere at the shopping mall outside. She looked at the Christmas tree standing outside and thought to herself, what a pity!

Fortunately, she received a surprise the next morning. When she got up, she found a pair of bright red socks on the bedside. There was a pile of Hong Kong dollars in one of the socks, and a handful of candies in the other.

"Brother, you are so kind. Thank you, brother!" Li Weihong ran downstairs and affectionately pulled Li Weidong, who was doing military boxing with Xie Ming and others, and said happily.

"Thank you to the wrong person. It was your sister-in-law who released it. It has nothing to do with me. Get up quickly. I'm practicing boxing. Don't delay things!" Li Weidong shook off Li Weihong's grasping hand and said.

It’s better not to enter a girl’s boudoir easily, let alone a younger sister, even kissing a daughter. Once you reach a certain age, you have to get in the way.

Moreover, this matter was originally proposed by Liu Jinhui, he only seconded it, and he did not pay for it.

Regarding Liu Jinhui's behavior of "bribing" his sister-in-law, Li Weidong turned a blind eye. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be better without the sister-in-law's instigation.

Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars to "buy" is a big deal, and it will definitely work within three to five months. Saying a few good words about your sister-in-law in front of your own mother is a piece of cake.

"Really, where is my sister-in-law?" Li Weihong was naturally not surprised when she heard that it was Liu Jinhui who gave it to her. Her brother and sister-in-law were all members of the same family, so they knew exactly what they were doing, but she still had to thank her sister-in-law in person.

After she returned home, she had plenty of money. She was not going sideways with her high school classmates, but she felt a little sad when she thought about not being able to spend the Chinese New Year with her sister-in-law.

I can give such a big red envelope at Christmas, but I can't give more and thicker during the New Year. As for taking the money from her brother and sister-in-law, there are of course obstacles, but now she is poor and has short ambitions, and the horse is thin and hairy.

There is such a rich brother who still supports her to go to school. If she is still pretentious and shouts about independence and self-realization, isn't it a bit nonsense!

I've already taken so much, it doesn't matter if I take a little more, just keep it in mind. If I really live up to this good intention, it will be a shame.

"It's upstairs!" Li Weidong said while following Xie Ming in the military style boxing.

After Li Weihong heard this, he turned around and went upstairs!

After finishing a whole set of exercises, Li Weidong was sweating slightly and felt that the effect was good. He even asked, "How many punches can I get from this set of boxing in one or two years?"

Zhang Hao is still young, "Looking at bluffing people, you have to practice fighting if you want to fight!"

"Then why did you ask me to practice for more than half a month? It's not right. I think you also practice this thing on a regular basis?" Li Weidong said angrily, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong.

Xie Ming looked at Zhang Hao, rolled his eyes, and then said with a flattering smile, "Boss, this is mainly to move the body joints. In fact, it is the same as the radio gymnastics done in school. It can only be used for health and fitness, not real fighting!"

Ding Yuan also answered, "You didn't say you wanted to practice fighting. We thought you just wanted to stretch your muscles!"

"Co-author, I've been practicing for half a month in vain!" Li Weidong was really annoyed this time.

"That's not true. If you practice regularly, at least your joints will be better, and you won't get arthritis easily in a humid environment like the beach!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Shut up!" the three of them said in unison.

Zhang Hao scratched his head and did not dare to speak. The truth was indeed not easy to accept.

Christmas is a legal holiday on Hong Kong Island, so many guests will naturally come to the house. Not long after breakfast, many people gathered at the house, making Shen Yueying very busy.

From the beginning to the end, she believed that this was the Spring Festival for Hong Kong people, so she naturally followed her hometown's New Year rules and entertained the guests with great enthusiasm.

Li Qian finally has a new friend, Zheng Sijing's two children are also directors, and Zou Yi's daughter has already entered elementary school, which is the age where she is innocent and innocent.

Even though Li Qian was young, he was very happy when he was hugged and hugged by several older brothers and older sisters, giggling with joy, which was so unpleasant.

"Auntie, you don't have to go to such trouble. We are all our own people. Just sit here and we talk. If you are so polite, you will drive us away!"

Huang Suya is very familiar with the Li family. She comes here often and knows Shen Yueying well. Besides, there are so many young people here, so it doesn't make sense for the old lady to pour tea and water.

"That's not possible. Okay, I won't be polite. This is not the first time for you. Pour your own water. I'll cook a few dishes and eat here for lunch!" Shen Yueying said quickly.

This time no one refused, they all agreed with a smile and said words of thanks.

After Shen Yueying left, the female relatives in the room began to praise Li Weidong's two children again, especially Li Rui, who was just born.

Li Weidong saw a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old who was also in the crowd. Her big eyes and curious eyes were looking at Li Weidong intentionally or unintentionally, full of curiosity about this side.

"Lao Li, are these your daughters, older and younger?" Li Weidong asked, mainly because she looked so much like her mother.

"This is the little one. The older one went to school in England and hasn't come back. When he comes here, he doesn't know how to say hello to anyone he meets. He calls him Uncle Li!" Li Shihui said with a smile, and then asked her daughter to come over and say hello.

Li Weidong received 10,000 points of critical hits. He was considered an uncle. If such an old man called him uncle on the street, he would definitely not pay attention. Is he so old?

"Hello, Uncle Li!" This girl is also a down-to-earth person. Although she is very reluctant in her heart, she still shouts. She is no longer young and knows some things.

Her father's immediate boss, no matter how disobedient she is, knows the seriousness of the matter, and this is not a place for her to be willful.

"Hey, President Li, you girl has inherited all the advantages of both of you!" Li Weidong didn't praise his good looks. He was less than ten years older than him. Don't let Li Shihui have any ideas.

"Hey, there's no way. Just going to school is a mess. Now she's obsessed with going to an art academy. Her mother and I are worried to death!"

Li Shihui was very happy when he heard Li Weidong's praise, but he was also a little helpless. Both of them graduated from the University of Hong Kong, and he also had a master's degree. His academic qualifications were not low, but neither of his daughters inherited this.

"It's not bad to go to the Academy of Arts. With this appearance and condition, it will definitely be fine after graduation. I'll just ask Mr. Luo to take care of me then!" Zheng Sijing said with a smile next to him.

"It's no problem. As long as President Li can rest assured, signing a contract with us is definitely the best choice. He will definitely be an international star in a few years!" Luo Jialiang also said beside him.

"Hey, it's not that easy. You still have to work hard at school. There's still one year left. Try your best and see if it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, send it abroad!"

"You are still young, you should learn some cultural knowledge!" Li Weidong praised in time.

Li Weidong agreed with Li Shihui's idea. The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and it is not so easy to get ahead. How many people enter this industry every year, but less than 1% can get ahead.

Even if you have the conditions to support someone, not everyone can do it.

"Have you heard, you still have to study hard, ask others for advice, and see how they study, go ahead!" Li Shihui couldn't educate his daughter in front of so many people, so he pointed at Li Weihong and said.

He understands the education system in China and knows that it is definitely not easy for someone like Li Weihong to get into college.

Li Shihui felt a headache when he saw his daughter's unhappy look. He should have been successful in his life, but his child was holding him back. How could he handle this?

Seeing his daughter walking away, Li Shihui said, "Chairman, our application for a bank in the mainland has been approved conditionally, and the red-headed documents will be issued soon!"

"Oh, just pass it, what are the conditions?" Li Weidong also sighed. He had been planning this for a year and went through many iterations, but finally succeeded.

One must always be cautious about financial matters. If someone hadn't spoken to him, he probably wouldn't have been able to submit the application. It's normal for something like this to take several years to plan!

Sorry, everyone, I'm missing a chapter. Remember, I will definitely make up for it!
