Jiang Qi counted them carefully and judged their identities based on their conversations with each other, and determined that there were only 15 people in the house.

They are the grandparents, the eldest uncle's family of three, the second uncle's family of three, the third uncle's family of five (Zhou Yuan's family), the brother-in-law (a bachelor) and his aunt.

Just a very normal family.

The eldest aunt in this family likes to show off, and the eldest cousin seems to have made a lot of money doing business outside. As a bachelor in his 40s, grandma still seems to have not given up on the idea of ​​letting him find a wife, and has been following her.

He was whispering to him, tell him that you are such a big man, it is time to find a wife, even if you don't have children, it would be nice to have someone to spend time with.

My brother-in-law probably didn't like his mother's talk very much, and he ignored her from beginning to end.

The aunt who came back to celebrate the New Year alone had a story to tell. Everyone wanted to know the story about her. However, my aunt was a person who was blocked by soldiers and flooded by water and soil. If you want to find me, I will go to work and run away from things.

I slipped into the kitchen early to help my second aunt cook.

When Zhou Yuan finished packing, the show-off party downstairs had already begun.

The eldest aunt is showing off the new gold bracelet her son bought for her.

It was a large gold bracelet with exquisite workmanship and brilliant gold. It was very heavy at first glance. The gold bracelet was so heavy that my eldest aunt could not even lift her wrist.

"Look at this gold bracelet. Xiaoyu insisted on buying it for me. I just passed by the gold store and looked at it a few more times. I am such a frugal person. The price of gold is so expensive now. How much does this gold bracelet cost?

?”

"I told Xiaoyu at that time not to buy it, not to buy it, but he insisted on buying it for me, saying that he was making money anyway. Now that life is getting better, I can buy it if I like it, as a sign of his filial piety as a son."

"Oh, those words really touched my heart. I was deceived by him at that time. You don't know how heavy this bracelet is. It feels really uncomfortable to wear it on your hand. But after all, it is Xiaoyu's heart.

Yeah, you still have to wear it." The eldest aunt said with great joy, and the expressions on her face were very rich. She was heartbroken, embarrassed, and happy at other times. Her acting skills were terrible.

It was so bad that neither her husband nor her son (Zhou Yu) had the eyes to see it.

The expression on Zhou Yuan's face was also indescribable. She wanted to open her mouth to brag about her fraudulent results this year, but she thought about it and gave it up.

The grandma was the only one in the family who was fooled. The old lady said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaoyu is such a good boy and has a filial heart. This bracelet is so beautiful. It fits Huijuan's hand just right."

Maybe it was because the old lady's muttering voice was too low, and the words of the only person in the audience who were cheering were not heard by the eldest aunt. As a result, the eldest aunt could only continue to perform alone, playing hard, and the old lady on the side nodded her head.

He looked proud, and it was written all over his face that my grandson was so proud.

Finally, the second uncle's daughter couldn't stand listening any more and began to brag on her own, trying to suppress the eldest aunt's bragging.

"Oh, aunt, don't look at that gold bracelet of yours. If the gold bracelet is too heavy and uncomfortable on your wrist, please take it off first. Don't worry about your wrists as you are celebrating the New Year. Look at my new silver necklace.

, diamond-encrusted, brand-name goods. If you like it, I will tell my cousin the brand and ask him to go to the jewelry store and buy you the same model."

The expression on the eldest aunt's face froze, and she realized that her home court had been taken away. Jiang Qi thought she was going to fight back, but he didn't expect the eldest aunt to readily give up the stage to the second uncle's daughter.

"Oh, this necklace is really nice. Your grandma will definitely like it. Panpan, please tell your grandma what's good about this necklace. Your grandma has never seen any diamonds in her life. Our family doesn't like to buy diamond jewelry."

Zhou Pan:……

Zhou Pan's hand holding the cheap crystal imitation diamond necklace trembled slightly.

Yes, her so-called diamond necklace looks like it is made of cheap crystal. Even if Jiang Qi has not read Zhou Pan’s book, he can tell that her necklace is fake. This shows how fake this necklace is. What a fake it is.

The silver necklace is probably made of plastic, the kind that can float in water.

"Yes, Panpan, let me tell grandma what kind of diamond necklace this is. Grandma has only had one silver necklace in her life, which was a dowry when she got married. Grandma has never seen anything like this diamond before!" Grandma was excited.

.

Grandma's excitement was answered by Zhou Pan's silence.

Zhou Pan looked at the necklace in his hand and thought for a while: "Hey, these diamond products are all the same, even if they are pretty and shiny, there are no different styles. In fact, they are not expensive, only more than 30,000 yuan.

I bought the money with my year-end bonus."

"Our company's performance this year has been great. In addition, I have worked hard and diligently, and I have earned six months of annual income, which is over 100,000 yuan! By the way, Yuanyuan, how much did you earn at the end of this year? I heard that you

I got a lot in the middle of this year.”

Zhou Yuan, who was suddenly cueed, quickly entered combat mode, waved her hands, and said in a tone that it was nothing: "It's not as much as you, Sister Panpan, so it's only 80,000 or 90,000. But our company has given out a lot of gifts, so I

I brought them all back, such as bird's nests, sea cucumbers, deer antlers, ginseng oral liquid, etc. I didn't need them, so I brought them all back to my grandparents."

"Oh, so many good things have been distributed! Yuanyuan, what does your company do? Is it specialized in this kind of health care product business? Is this product good? Can it be eaten? Will it cause any disease?

Come on? Auntie, you are not too talkative. Many of the health care products these days are fake and mixed with some messy things. Not only are the elderly not healthy after taking them, they will also make them sick. "

Zhou Yuan:……

"Well...our boss likes to make these things, so he likes to distribute them. Auntie, please rest assured that these things are valuable. It took me...a lot of effort and my colleagues to exchange them for the best products. There will definitely be no problem." Zhou

Yuan just patted her chest to make sure.

"That's good, that's good. The eldest aunt is just asking a few more questions, and she definitely doesn't mean to say anything bad about you." The eldest aunt said with a smile.

A group of people started a bragging meeting.

Grandma was listening happily. Grandpa was not interested in the show off of his children and grandchildren. He sat on the sofa and watched TV. A group of people were surrounding the old lady and playing with her eyes closed. The old lady listened enthusiastically for a long time.

Suddenly I remembered something and ran back to my room.

A group of people continued to blow.

After a while, the old lady came down, holding a stack of red envelopes in her hand. Each red envelope was small and thin, looked the same, and had no name written on it.

The old lady walked up to Zhou Yuan and handed out the red envelope with a smile: "Here, Yuanyuan, this is the red envelope grandma gave you. Our family Yuanyuan has grown up and is promising and making money. You buy supplements for grandma, and grandma will give you lucky money."

"

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment when she saw the red envelope. She focused on the red envelope without looking at her grandma, as if she was trying to make sure whether the red envelope was for her.

Soon, Zhou Yuan readily accepted the red envelope and showed a big smile: "Thank you grandma, happy new year grandma!"

"Happy New Year Yuanyuan." Grandma smiled and handed out a red envelope to the next granddaughter.

Basically, everyone's reaction to receiving red envelopes is similar to Zhou Yuan's. Everyone accepts red envelopes readily, from junior to junior parents. This may be the tradition of the Zhou family, no matter how old they are, they all receive red envelopes.

.

At this time, my aunt was the only one in the kitchen.

Grandma walked into the kitchen grabbing the last red envelope.

Auntie is cutting vegetables in the kitchen.

"Fangfang, this is the red envelope mom gave you." Grandma stood behind Zhou Fang and handed the red envelope to Zhou Fang. Zhou Fang didn't react at all and just continued to cut vegetables.

Grandma smiled and stuffed the red envelope into Zhou Fang's pocket, and said with a smile: "You kid, you are so embarrassed."

Zhou Fang, who had a red envelope stuffed in her pocket, turned around in shock, and then smiled helplessly: "Mom, you stuffed me a red envelope again. I've told you so many times that you don't need to give me a red envelope now that I'm such an old person."

"You have to give it to everyone, no matter how old you are." Grandma said with a smile, "And to Zhuangzhuang. Now that you are divorced, it's not easy to bring Zhuangzhuang back for the New Year. Mom understands, but as a grandma, I have to give Zhuangzhuang a red envelope, right?"

"It's the same for you kid. You've been like this since you were a kid. If you don't want to talk about something, you just pretend not to hear it. I'm your mother. Is there anything I can't tell you? I asked you why Zhuangzhuang didn't come back with you this year.

During the Chinese New Year, you pretended not to hear me again. If I hadn't listened to what the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law said, I wouldn't have known you were divorced."

"What's wrong with divorce? Tell your mom. Are you worried that your mom will push you to find someone like she did your brother? Is mom like that? Mom is pushing your brother to find another one because he usually doesn't have a decent person.

Xing, mom just urged him to find a partner, not to have children."

"You guys..." Grandma began to chatter to Zhou Fang, while Zhou Fang was quietly cutting vegetables beside her.

Just as he was talking, the eldest aunt came in.

"Xiaofang, Mom just handed out red envelopes outside, have you got them?" The eldest aunt came in to wash her hands and looked at the glutinous rice she was soaking, "Is this glutinous rice almost ready?"

Jiang Qi, who always felt that there was something strange about this family, frowned.

From the moment he started bragging, Jiang Qi felt that this family was a bit weird.

Everyone was bragging, and everyone could tell that the other was bragging, and they would occasionally ridicule each other for bragging, but Jiang Qi could feel that there was no hostility between them.

Especially the eldest aunt. The eldest aunt looks like she has taken a villain's script, but the more she looks at it, the more she seems to be really heartless.

My aunt's reaction just now was even more strange.

The old lady is in the kitchen, why doesn't she seem to see her?

"Cough cough cough cough." Zhou Fang coughed violently several times, startling both the aunt and the old lady.

The old lady quickly said: "Fangfang, are you okay? Did you choke on something?"

The old lady patted Zhou Fang on the back.

"It's okay, Mom, please stop filming." Zhou Fang said, "Mom, it's time to make the rice pudding, right? How about we go out first and you cook the rice pudding in the kitchen?"

The eldest aunt was stunned for a moment and then echoed: "Yes, Mom, it seems it's time to make rice with eight treasures."

The old lady nodded: "Okay, leave it to me."

After that, the old lady opened the refrigerator and started looking for something.

Zhou Fang and her eldest aunt took a look at the refrigerator, looked at each other and walked out.

"Why didn't you tell me Mom was in there?" the eldest aunt complained in a low voice.

"How should I tell you? You said that as soon as you came in, and you almost scared me to death." Zhou Fang said angrily, "Fortunately, I reacted quickly and didn't let mom find out."

"Yes, yes, fortunately you responded quickly."
