Chapter 642 This Child Has Already Become a Success
Chapter 642 This Child Has Already Become a Success
Looking at the loving couple, it would be impossible for the bachelors in the yard not to be envious.
"Damn it! I have to ask Matchmaker Wang to help me find someone after the New Year."
It goes without saying who is the most envious among them. Watching the two of them in love in the front yard, I felt gritting my teeth in my heart.
Unfortunately, I don’t have much money in my pocket, so I can only look at her and I don’t dare to date anyone casually.
Without money, there is no human rights.
"If I keep working hard and make it through this year, I won't have to pay any more money. Everything will be mine."
From the time I became a ticket seller until now, I have handed in 255 yuan. As long as I can get through this year, I will have collected 400 yuan.
Starting next year, every penny you earn will be yours.
Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng couldn't stop laughing: "Good days are coming, my good days!"
Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang looked at their brother who had suddenly gone crazy and couldn't help but take a few steps away.
It’s New Year’s Day, are you crazy?
They are two people in love and you are laughing so loudly. Do you want to butt in between?
Thinking of this, Yan Jiefang hurriedly said, "Brother, we must be polite and honest. Our father will not let you do such a shameless thing as interfering."
Yan Jiecheng's face darkened: "Get lost, get out of here! What are you two thinking about? Am I that kind of person?"
Yan Jiefang looked him up and down for a while and nodded involuntarily.
"Get out!" Yan Jiecheng shouted angrily, and Yan Jiefang decisively admitted his mistake and left.
"What are you two doing?" Yan Bugui suddenly looked over.
"I didn't do anything." Yan Jiefang said.
Yan Bugui didn't care either. He looked at the family and said, "After dinner, let's go and wish Li Kailang a happy new year."
"We don't have any gifts to give, but we still have to say a few auspicious words to express our gratitude, especially to you."
Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiedi and said, "You have eaten so much candy from Brother Li. You must say something nice when you pay New Year's greetings. Otherwise, Brother Li won't give you any candy next year."
"Ah? I don't want it. I want to eat candy. Daddy, please teach me some auspicious words!" Yan Jiedi felt as if facing a great enemy and immediately grabbed her father's trouser leg.
"Don't scare the child." The third aunt rolled her eyes.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll teach you in a while." Yan Bugui touched his daughter's head and continued.
"We must be polite. If he gives it to you, you young ones should take it, but don't be greedy."
"As for the New Year's money, don't ask for it if they don't give it to you. We don't have much to give, so don't be shameless and ask for it. I can't afford to lose face. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it." Several little ones responded loudly.
"Okay, you're late. Come back when Xiao Li opens the door. Don't get your clothes dirty."
A few of the little ones went out to play.
Yan Bugui looked at Li Kailang's door. There were two reasons why he cared about Li Kailang.
First, Li Kailang might graduate from night college this year, and then he would be a college student, and not the same kind of people as them.
Secondly, he saw the changes in Cui Yuan and Bai Xiuwen. They were both unknown last year and the year before, but because they called the police on Li Kailang, their careers changed dramatically in just one or two years.
Thinking of his own son Yan Jiecheng, he had to find another way out for his son as soon as possible.
At first, I thought of using the ticket seller as a stepping stone to become a driver, but I didn't expect that I couldn't make the jump.
While his son is still young and Li Kailang is not yet a college student, he should get close to him while there is still a chance.
The Yan family didn't expect Qiu Feng, but someone wanted to take advantage of it.
For example, the Jia family.
Having been wronged by Xu Sinan, it is natural for him to seek redress elsewhere.
"Bang Geng, today is Chinese New Year, haven't you always wanted to eat candy? Take Xiao Dang to ask Li Kailang for some later."
"I picked a time when there were a lot of people around. When I saw Li Kailang, I knelt down and kowtowed, and stretched out my hand to ask him for candy and New Year's money, and I asked for more."
"It's New Year's Day, I don't believe that Li Kailang would dare not give it to me. If he dares not give it to me, he will be criticized by everyone!"
"Hmm~" Bang Geng nodded repeatedly. Xiao Dang felt that this was not good, but he couldn't persuade Jia Zhang.
"Don't worry, grandma. I know what to do. I will definitely kill Li Kailang. If he doesn't give it to me, I will refuse to leave."
"Oh, that's right, Banggeng is smart!" Jia Zhang touched her head with satisfaction and cursed viciously.
"It seems that if he dares to turn against me, he will be in big trouble this year."
Jia Zhang was relying on the fact that today was New Year's Day and it was New Year's Day, so she couldn't get angry or use violence.
Under various restrictions, Li Kailang did not dare to act recklessly.
At this moment, the protagonist of all the troubles finally woke up slowly in the planting space.
"Ah~ It's so comfortable, no one disturbs me."
Li Kailang stood up and stretched, took down the playful leopard cat hanging on him, and then left the space.
After washing up and eating some breakfast, Li Kailang packed up and prepared to pay New Year's greetings.
If you have nothing to do, you can pay New Year’s greetings early and rest early.
The three-day holiday was so rushed. Fortunately, not many relatives and friends wanted to leave. Maybe I could finish it in half a year.
After cleaning up, Li Kailang opened the door.
"Squeak~"
The door slowly opened, and the people playing in the front yard couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound and look at him.
"So many people." The front yard was full of people. Most of the children were swinging on the swings, and a few were playing firecrackers with Bai Chi.
The other adults gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
Li Kailang felt a little embarrassed when being stared at by so many people all of a sudden, and he touched his nose.
"Hmm?" Li Kailang suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Bai Xiuwen and Xu Sinan, whose hands were still tightly clasped.
In an instant, he looked at Bai Xiuwen in disbelief.
He smiled and held up Xu Sinan to show him generously.
"Tsk tsk tsk~" Li Kailang showed a look of disgust.
"Brother Li, Happy New Year!" they said in unison.
Seeing how Li Kailang was helping her future husband, Xu Sinan couldn't help but change the way she addressed him.
"Brother Li, Happy New Year!" Bai Chi pulled Yan Jiedi and said in a soft voice.
Other adults and children also followed suit and gave their blessings.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year to everyone." Li Kailang clasped his fists.
Looking at the children gathering together, he took some candies from his pocket and gave them to them.
As for red envelopes, giving them to so many people would seem insincere, so give them when they visit you in person.
"Thank you, brother!" The children came just for the candy.
"Xiao Li, how can this be so embarrassing?" The parents were embarrassed instead.
"It's a busy New Year's Day, nothing special."
Seeing that Li Kailang was so generous, everyone couldn't ignore it and headed towards Li Kailang's house.
Li Kailang thought they just wanted to sit down, so he invited them in and thought his house was big enough.
"Xiao Li, your house is great. Look at the decoration. When I have money, I will decorate it like yours."
"Yeah, look at how warm this fireplace is. It's warmer than my house."
Everyone praised sincerely.
"No, no, it's nothing. You can do it too."
After chatting for a while, everyone got up and left to play with the children outside.
Bai Xiuwen and Xu Sinan stood up to see them off, but did not leave because they had something else to say.
As soon as everyone left, three people from the Cui family came in.
"Happy New Year, Xiao Li!" Aunt Cui and Cui Yuan said with a smile.
Cui Gang: "Brother Li, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Li Kailang clasped his fists again.
The three people from the Cui family came in and chatted with Li Kailang for a while.
Bai Xiuwen and the other man had no choice but to not say anything, but fortunately they were familiar with the Cui family, so they had a lot to talk about, and the atmosphere was very good.
"Sister, come here."
"Grandma Cui, Happy New Year!"
"Okay!" Aunt Cui smiled happily and took out a red envelope from her pocket and gave it to her.
"Thank you, grandma!" Bai Chi said softly, and Xiao Tiao kissed Aunt Cui.
"Hahaha~" Aunt Cui immediately burst into laughter.
"Brother Cui, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Cui Yuan also took out a red envelope.
"Brother Cui, this is so embarrassing." Bai Xiuwen quickly stopped him.
"Hey, this is not for you, it's for your sister. What's there to be embarrassed about?" Cui Yuan pulled it open forcefully and stuffed it into Bai Chi's hand.
"The red envelope is ready, go play."
Bai Chi glanced at Bai Xiuwen, and seeing that he didn't refuse, he accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Cui."
Then he flapped his legs and ran out to play with Yan Jiedi.
The two of them came to see Li Kailang this time and didn't bring any red envelopes with them at all.
Before Bai Xiuwen could speak, Cui Yuan looked at the two people's still tightly clasped hands and asked: "What's going on between you two? When did you get together?"
Hearing this, Li Kailang, Aunt Cui and others also looked over curiously.
Xu Sinan blushed and lowered her head, while Bai Xiuwen raised it proudly. "We agreed at the New Year's Eve dinner yesterday that we'll be together from today on. We're in love, what do you think?"
"congratulations."
"Congratulations. When are you planning to get married?"
"I will get married as soon as I pay off Brother Li's debt, within half a year." Everyone knows about borrowing money, there is no need to hide it.
Cui Yuan smiled and said, "So fast? Then I'd like to congratulate you two first. There's a wall between you two, so it's much more convenient to be together. Just knock on the wall and it will save a lot of trouble."
Aunt Cui joked, "You two are so close to each other, could it be that you had some idea when you first came here?"
Xu Sinan blushed even more after hearing this: "No way, it was just a coincidence. I didn't think about being together at that time."
"Oh, maybe. Xiaobai was very handsome at that time." Aunt Cui joked.
Xu Sinan blushed even more shyly; "Aunt Cui."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more about you. I'm here to wish you two a happy marriage and a son soon."
This made Xu Sinan blush as if blood was about to drip out.
It just so happened that everyone present was an acquaintance, so Bai Xiuwen mentioned the matter of paying back the money in advance.
After saying this, the two of them couldn't help but clench their hands, fearing that Li Kailang would not agree.
"Pay it back early? Why are you suddenly thinking of paying it back early? Are you planning to sell the big items in your home to pay it back early?"
"It's hard to get big items now. They will be your furniture in the future. You don't have to sell them just to pay off the debt. I'm not in a hurry for the money. You can pay it off in three to five years."
Hearing that Li Kailang did not refuse, the two felt relieved.
Bai Xiuwen explained with a smile: "I didn't sell any big items. My wife is planning to help me pay off the debt. The sooner we pay it off, the sooner we can get married."
Xu Sinan nodded solemnly.
Seeing the determination of the two, Aunt Cui was very happy. The fact that they could share the joys and sorrows showed that they really hoped to be together for the rest of their lives and grow old together.
Li Kailang looked at Xu Sinan with some surprise. He didn't expect to meet a girl who was willing to give so much.
This is indeed a normal phenomenon when you think about the era we live in.
"Okay, as long as you two make the decision, I'm just a person who collects the money, I don't care about the rest."
"Thank you, Brother Li." After hearing Li Kailang's reply, the two of them finally felt relieved and decided to pay back the money and get married as soon as possible.
After the important things were discussed, everyone chatted for a while and then got up and left.
Outside, seeing that someone was still arriving at Li Kailang's house, Yan Bugui gathered his family members and got ready.
The earlier you greet the New Year, the more sincere it appears.
As soon as the Cui and Bai families came out, Yan Bugui and his family immediately ran there.
"Happy New Year, Xiao Li." Yan Bugui, the third aunt, and Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.
"Happy New Year. Happy New Year."
"Brother Li, Happy New Year." The two brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang followed suit.
"Happy New Year to you too."
Yan Bugui brought his family and stood at the door to congratulate, with no intention of going in. It seemed that they really came to wish everyone a happy new year.
"Li Kailang, Happy New Year." Suddenly, Xu Damao's voice came.
"Xu Damao, Happy New Year."
"Xu Damao, you actually came out. Have you dealt with your wife's issue?" Yan Bugui joked.
"Hey, Third Uncle, you are looking down on me. Who am I? I can handle this little thing easily." Xu Damao said arrogantly.
We are all old neighbors and are familiar with Xu Damao's style. Naturally, we wouldn't dare to speak like that if we haven't gotten the job done.
"Congratulations, you are amazing. You have kept it a secret for almost a year." The third aunt congratulated.
"Oh, let's not mention the matter of Third Aunt anymore." Xu Damao waved his hands painfully. If he hadn't found an excuse to pay New Year's greetings, he would have almost been unable to come out this time.
In order to comfort Sai Fengxian, he promised to "reward" her well in the evening and finished taking the medicine.
I have to quickly get some "good stuff" from Li Kailang, otherwise if Party A is not satisfied at night, I will be in trouble.
Seeing this, the three aunts said no more.
"Brother Li, it's New Year!"
A voice was heard, and everyone looked to see that it was the Liu Guangtian brothers.
"Happy New Year!" Seeing the two of them, Li Kailang directly took out two different red envelopes and gave them to them.
"No." The two refused without even thinking.
"Take it." Li Kailang stuffed the red envelopes into the two people's hands. There was 5 yuan in each of them.
These two red envelopes were given by Liu Guangqi, he just passed them on.
"Thank you Brother Li."
"Don't be polite, you two can keep the money in this red envelope between yourselves, but don't let your parents know."
Hearing Li Kailang say this, several people present were stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it they felt it was normal.
Considering the grown-up look of Liu Haizhong, it’s better not to let them know.
"Okay, Brother Li."
"Oh, and you three too."
Li Kailang naturally would not forget Yan Jiefang and his two siblings.
The three of them looked at Yan Bugui in unison, as they had not forgotten his instructions.
"Xiao Li, how can this be so embarrassing?" Yan Bugui pushed his hand away.
"Uncle, this money is not for you, why are you refusing it?"
"Take it." With a Tai Chi move, Yan Bugui's hand was cut open and the red envelopes were directly stuffed into the hands of the three people.
At this moment, Banggeng's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Li Kailang giving out red envelopes so generously.
He ran over with Xiaodang in his hand and knelt down in front of Li Kailang with a plop.
"Happy New Year! Wish you good fortune and prosperity, give me the red envelope!"
Bang Geng stretched out his hand to Li Kailang and said, "Li Kailang, give me the New Year's money!"
Li Kailang frowned and looked at the smug Bang Geng. He really wanted to take out his size 45 shoes and print them on his face.
You are from the Jia family, and you have the nerve to ask me for New Year’s money?
It’s New Year’s Day, do you think I will give you face?
Li Kailang suddenly caught a glimpse of Jia Zhang hiding behind the door of the central courtyard, looking over here quietly. He didn't even need to guess to know that it was Jia Zhang who ordered it.
Bang Geng also knew that Li Kailang was unwilling to give it, so he deliberately said loudly: "Li Kailang, it's New Year's Day, Xiao Dang and I are wishing you a happy new year, you can't live without giving me New Year's money."
"My grandma said that if you don't give me lucky money, you will be unlucky for the whole year."
No one would be willing to give in to all the nonsense and heresy.
Seeing that eldest brother Li was unmoved, the two Liu Guangtian brothers thought that since they had taken eldest brother's money, they should work for him.
"Bang Geng, get out of the way!" Liu Guangtian kicked him directly.
“Damn it, this is how you ask for New Year’s money, just like a bandit, I’m going to beat you to death!” Liu Guangfu followed suit and punched him.
The two of them punched and kicked each other, and were stunned by the stick.
"grandmother!"
"My dear grandson!" Jia Zhang was so distressed that she didn't even bother to hide and ran out immediately to protect the stick.
Then she looked at Liu Guangtian and his brother fiercely: "You two little bastards, how dare you hit my grandson? I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"
After saying that, he stretched out ten fingers and pounced fiercely.
Li Kailang would naturally injure both of them, so he kicked Jia Zhang directly on the side of her waist, sending her flying two or three meters backwards.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, it's New Year's Day, why are you, at your age, arguing with a child?"
The third aunt also echoed: "Jia Zhang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but which child would ask for a red envelope like this?"
Xu Sinan, who had not yet walked far, rushed over upon hearing the noise and shouted, "Jia Zhang, I think you are itching for trouble. Haven't you been beaten enough?"
Xu Damao: "Tsk tsk tsk, Jia Zhangshi, what you taught me is that I wouldn't give a red envelope either. Isn't this just like robbery?"
Other residents who benefited from this stood up to speak for Li Kailang.
For a time, Jia Zhang was the target of public criticism, mainly because she was still burning with pain from the slap from Xu Sinan.
He didn't even bother to support Bang Geng and ran away first.
"Grandma!" Banggeng thought that Jia Zhang was not loyal and ran back home.
"Thank you, everyone." Li Kailang thanked.
"Why thank you? We just don't like Jia Zhang."
"Yeah, this isn't asking for lucky money, this is clearly robbery, anyone who sees this will be offended."
Jia Zhang felt wronged and ran home to find Jia Dongxu to help her get justice.
It’s a pity that Jia Dongxu ignored it at all.
I had no choice but to go find Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai simply closed the door and did nothing about it, refusing to open it even though Jia Zhang knocked.
When the aunt asked the reason, Yi Zhonghai said, "Jia Zhang did something bad again and wanted me to back her up. How could this be possible? She found trouble on her own and deserved to be beaten."
Then, when he thought about everyone going to Li Kailang's house to pay New Year's greetings, Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth. It would be difficult to lead this team in the yard.
"I didn't expect that Li Kailang, this kid, could unite so many families in our yard without making any noise."
"This kid has become quite famous. Don't get involved in his affairs if you don't have anything to do with him."
Yi Zhonghai finally realized that he had no control over Li Kailang at all.
To avoid making enemies with him in the future, it’s better to stay out of his way.
