HCB Chapter 344 Spring Chapter
Chapter 344 Spring Chapter
Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan became even more curious about the unknown world of the heavens.
The mother world is like a safe haven for him, but this haven is safe, but it is boring.
It is difficult for him to do anything in today's society ruled by law.
Today's Sky Eye system is densely distributed, and he never underestimates the threat posed to him by current technology and thermal weapons.
After all, he is just an ordinary person who is slightly stronger than ordinary people. If he is besieged by an organized armed force, there is no guarantee that he will be able to escape unscathed.
However, he has a teleportation bracelet, system glasses, and breath-concealing technique, so if he really wants to hide and do something, it would be difficult to catch him.
It's just that he's not afraid of a thousand things, he's just afraid of the unexpected. If he's exposed, his family will be in danger...
Therefore, not making yourself uncomfortable is his "principle of life" in his mother's world!
Zhao Dongchuan shook his head, dispelled these messy thoughts, and began to close his eyes to rest.
…………
As time goes by, New Year's Eve is approaching.
Those relatives and friends who worked outside also returned to their hometown one after another.
Several of Zhao Dongchuan's uncles, cousins and others also came back.
It is inevitable that they will visit each other in various ways.
They were all surprised to hear that Wei Xiaojiao, the youngest sister of the family, had opened a supermarket in Shanghai and seemed to be making a lot of money.
Of course everyone seems happy on the surface, but only they themselves know how sincere their feelings are.
Zhao Dongchuan could clearly perceive some things from everyone's expressions, for example, some people's smiles were very forced.
But these are all normal. After all, it is very common among relatives to be jealous of others' success.
It's not that he hopes you live a bad life, he just feels inferior when he sees others living better than him.
It's probably the competitive spirit that's at work.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Clap clap clap!"
There was the sound of fireworks popping outside the house.
Zhao Tongtong couldn't wait to go see the fireworks outside, but Zhao Qingping stopped her.
"If you don't have a good meal and a good New Year, this door can't be opened... and you can't go to other people's homes..."
"Um...ok, I get it!"
At this time, the Zhao family was no longer in the county town, but had come to the old house in the countryside.
This is a village with more than a hundred households.
When the village was prosperous in the past, there were hundreds of people in it... But now, after the reform and opening up, most of the villagers have gone out to work and earn money, becoming migrant workers, and the village has naturally gradually declined.
It is only during Chinese New Year that everyone will return to their ancestral homes in the countryside to celebrate the New Year, and the village will be lively for a few days.
Once the Spring Festival is over, it will naturally become deserted again.
This cycle is repeated over and over in various villages in China.
Therefore, "New Year" and "Spring Festival" are full of countless thoughts and comfort for countless ordinary people.
Inside the room, everyone took their seats. The table was filled with all kinds of delicious fish and meat.
"I wish my parents good health and all the best... I wish my little sister will become more and more beautiful!"
Zhao Dongchuan picked up his wine glass and spoke to the few people.
"Hahaha, good good!"
"I also wish you success in your career... and a family soon..."
Zhao Qingping and Wei Xiaojiao also raised their glasses.
"I wish my brother... to make a lot of money, buy a big house... drive a luxury car... and find me a gentle and virtuous sister-in-law..."
Zhao Tongtong also poured a glass of beer.
Everyone clinked their glasses and drank according to their own appetite.
Time passed slowly in such an atmosphere of talking and laughing.
After dinner, Zhao Dongchuan opened the door and took out a large bag of fireworks and firecrackers bought from the town from the room next door.
He took out one of the firecrackers which was shaped like a large disc, then spread it out and placed it in the yard. It looked like a thick red rope.
Zhao Dongchuan picked up the lighter, spun out a flame, and slowly moved closer to the fuse.
With a "bang!" sound, the fuse was lit and Zhao Dongchuan ran away!
"Clap clap clap!"
“Bah bang bang!
"Clap clap clap!"
The deafening sound of firecrackers rang out, spreading throughout the yard and into the entire village, blending with the sound of firecrackers from other homes to form a unique symphony.
Everyone hid under the eaves, watching the flying dust and countless red debris scattered between heaven and earth, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.
“This is the Chinese New Year!”
After the firecrackers, it’s time for fireworks.
Zhao Dongchuan placed boxes of fireworks in the yard and lit the fuses with a lighter.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Biubiubiubiu!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The blooming fireworks burst into beautiful colors in the air, dyeing the sky into a gorgeous world.
If you look down from the sky at this time, you will find that the fireworks and firecrackers from each household turn this small village into a dreamlike country.
Countless similar scenes appeared simultaneously on the land of the motherland, with different people in different places showing the same smile.
…………
The next day, the first day of the first lunar month.
Zhao Dongchuan drove the car and took Zhao Tongtong to visit relatives door to door to wish them a happy new year...
Mainly because my mother has many relatives who need to visit her for the New Year...
My dad has only an older brother and a younger sister. The older brother runs a fruit shop outside and he couldn't bear to leave the booming business, so he hasn't been home for many years.
Zhao Dongchuan's grandparents passed away when he was very young. Without elderly people in the family, there was naturally less cohesion... This is also the reason why they rarely come back from his uncle's family.
In this way, Zhao Dongchuan walked from street to street, carrying fruit and milk to wish everyone a happy new year...
The relatives also welcomed them warmly and invited them to dinner.
Inevitably, there will be another round of tug-of-war...
"Dongchuan, I heard that your father's supermarket business is very popular?"
My second uncle asked casually while eating melon seeds and watching TV.
"Well, it's okay, just so-so... If business is good, I won't come back during the New Year..."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of my second uncle's mouth.
"Your cousin is a live broadcaster on Tik Tok, and he's very popular when it comes to buying clothes... You can learn from him..."
"Really, cousin, sure!"
My second uncle's son was also a gangster in his early years. He liked to play cards and brag with the young people in the village... Later he married a powerful wife.
My sister-in-law's family runs a clothing store. After she married my cousin, she brought him into the business.
Maybe my cousin has a knack for business, or maybe it's just luck that's happened, but the store is doing very well. It is said that it has earned more than one million every year in recent years.
And recently, after short videos became popular, live streaming to sell goods has begun...it has caught the tail end of the trend.
Nowadays, he is also a powerful figure in the surrounding area.
"It's OK... but there are a lot of sales and a lot of returns. The return rate on the platform is very high..."
"That's not a small amount of money..."
"Okay……"
My cousin smiled, somewhat uncontrollably proud.
Zhao Dongchuan smiled and nodded...but didn't say anything!
The Spring Festival passed in such a hurried pace.
During this period, Zhao Dongchuan's junior high and high school classmates organized a party, but Zhao Dongchuan never said a word, so naturally he didn't go.
He later read the messages posted in the group and heard that they were having a lot of fun, with many people revisiting their old days... and some people had successfully counterattacked after entering society.
Those who used to be good at studying are no longer popular.
Those who are poor at studying are doing quite well, and they are in high spirits at the drinking party...
When it was time to pay the bill, these students all rushed to pay, demonstrating their financial strength.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhao Dongchuan!
……
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Zhao Dongchuan packed his luggage and stuffed the package into the trunk, which contained some local specialties from home.
Pickled vegetables, radishes, local chickens, ducks and eggs from the countryside... these are all locally grown and have no added technology, and they are also the "treasures" that we bring with us every Chinese New Year.
In previous years, it was difficult to get there by train, but now that we have cars, it’s naturally a lot more congested.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
"........."
As the car started... the Zhao family once again left their hometown, left Jiangxi Province, and drove towards Shanghai...
