Chapter 65: The New Year's Eve
The Lin family’s new house is near the most prosperous living square in the county, not too far from several high schools in the county. It is also very convenient to take a car back to the countryside. It is considered a relatively expensive area in the county.
The house has been renovated, but it is very simple, with simple ceramic tiles and white walls. At this time, the whole family has moved in and left him a larger room.
It was quite tiring to return home after falling back for a day, which made him plan to buy a car, so he would learn his driver's license next semester.
After having my mother's love supper in the evening, I wanted to take a break early, but Gu Wenwen called and chatted with him about his family and outside the company. But after all, he was too late as he chatted. If it weren't for the phone bill, it would have been even later.
"Da Yuan, get up quickly and post the couplet!" The mother opened his room door and shouted, "What time is it now, and I'm still sleeping?"
"Ah? Why do you do that thing?" He had not had enough sleep and was in a bad mood. However, seeing his mother's serious expression, he had to say to the little girl who had just walked out of the room opposite, "Go to do it!"
"I haven't washed up yet!" Xiaoyu continued, "Let my dad go!"
"Your dad just went back to the countryside to paste couplets for the old house. He shoveled some cabbage and brought it over, but he couldn't come back for a while. You should get up and paste it!" Mom urged.
"Then let Xiaohe go!" Lin Yuan grabbed the quilt and just wanted his mother to leave quickly.
"Second brother is going to buy something." Xiaoyu leaned in.
"Look at how lazy you are?" My mother pointed at him and was a little angry. "Today's thirty years old, get up quickly!"
"Hehe..." Xiaoyu laughed secretly.
"You are also a little lazy. You asked you to get up and help me get vegetables. You still laugh until now!" My mother pointed at the little fish's head, "Big laziness makes the little lazy, little lazy makes the grasshopper. If the grasshopper legs are supported, I will be lazy, and I will be lazy!"
"Look at you two, you have eggs with pumpkin flowers, and you're the same color!"
"I see how you live in the future!"
Like my grandfather, my mother likes to speak idioms from her hometown. At this time, she gets the opportunity and gets a shot.
"Okay, get up, I'm up!" Lin Yuan had no choice but to get up from the bed.
After washing up, I finished the meal of Jiuhu and posted the couplets I bought from my father.
After lunch, he took the opportunity to take a nap and make up for it.
It was not until evening that my father came back from the countryside on a motorcycle, and then there was another noise.
"Why did you come back this night?" My mother asked, "It's almost an hour faster than a half, and less than an hour slower than a minute if you're away from the county town in the countryside."
"I ate at my elder brother's house at noon and had a chat." My father quickly started to help my mother work and expressed her diligently.
"Talking about homework? You can't play mahjong anymore, right?"
After my mother's repeated questions, my father admitted it.
"Just play for a while!"
"How many times have you told me, don't play mahjong with them, why don't you remember..."
"How much have you lost?"
"No money lost..."
Winter and spring are the easiest, leisurely and happiest times in rural areas. For half a year, you can just go to the fields occasionally to check it out, and there is basically no work. Therefore, when this time of year comes, more people will play mahjong.
Gradually, the countryside has also formed a trend. From gambling to big gambling, I can hear who lost so much money every year, making the family restless.
My father also likes to play cards. He basically doesn't touch him when he is busy. He likes to play whenever he is free. Sometimes he plays for a day before he comes home. His mother is the most annoying to him playing cards. The two of them have had many fights about this.
The most impressive time was when he was about ten years old. My father came home with a card game too late. My mother locked the door. My father couldn't open it, so he kicked it open, and then the world war!
He still remembers the scene where his mother held the slurry and held it on his dad's head. Fortunately, his dad basically won't hit people, so his mom vented the matter.
But he was frightened at that time, which directly caused him to especially dislike seeing his parents quarrel and fight.
However, he got used to it, so he found headphones to stuff them into his ears, continued to watch "Soldier Assault" and turned the sound a little louder.
Sure enough, not long after, the two started to quarrel again. Xiaohe and Xiaoyu were also experienced. They hid in their own house calmly and played with them. They would talk about it when the couple finished their arguments.
As for persuading the fight?
My mother didn't vent her temper and it was useless to persuade her. Anyway, my father was not very brave and didn't dare to do it. She asked her mother to scold her for a while and then she calmed down.
After an hour, I finally calmed down. A few children came out to see the situation. Sure enough, my father stood by the pool and washed the cabbage diligently. My mother had already prepared plates of dishes and placed a row on the big table.
"Stop washing! Hurry up and eat!" My mother called out to Dad.
I refused my father's request for drinking. The New Year's Eve dinner was extremely simple and it ended in two mouthfuls.
"Dayuan, let's play cards later!" Dad called him.
During the Chinese New Year, my family was having fun, but my mother smiled and didn't stop her.
"If you don't play, you can play by yourself!" He waved his hand, it was boring to play cards with them.
"Wait a minute, come, come and pay for money!" My father took three photos from his pocket, and each handed over one.
Xiaohe and Xiaoyu took the money with a happy look on their faces. Lin Yuan looked up and saw that his father looked serious, he also took it.
"Brother, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala!" Xiaoyu doesn't like playing cards.
"Don't look."
He waved his hand and returned to the house alone. He had no internet cable at home and could not access the Internet. He continued to take out the "Soldier Assault" downloaded from his computer to watch.
After reading for a while, the text messages came one by one, all of which were clichés about New Year's greetings, and they were basically copied and pasted. He didn't reply to any of them and was too lazy to send them to others.
When he met someone else's handwritten, he symbolically replied, "Happy New Year."
The phone suddenly rang, and Qin Zhen called.
"Mr. Yuan, happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" He threw his headphones to the side and lay back on the bed, "I forgot to ask, have you been home for the New Year?"
"The company cannot live without people. The madman and I haven't returned, and there are still a few technologies. Yu Hongyang and the others have returned. He and Ningning are going to meet their parents this year..."
Qin Zhen seemed to have found the person who complained and told the company everything.
"Waiwai is a little better than IS's voice quality. Now the gap between us and them is gradually getting closer. However, now there are more users, and we have added bandwidth and servers..."
"Oh, is that funding enough?" Lin Yuan asked.
"These few months are enough! In the early stage, we hired a few engineers with experience in communication software. They don't want shares, so their salary is high. Including the server, the monthly expenditure pressure is still quite high."
"The costs of key servers and bandwidth are increasing, and we will definitely not be able to hold on next year. As for how many months it can last, it is hard to say."
After listening to it, Lin Yuan thought about it. Now Duowan has not transformed into voice, and the future overlord of the voice industry in the game has not yet entered the market. As long as Waiwai can occupy the main market in advance, he is still willing to give it a try. After all, such a good opportunity, if it succeeds, it will make money faster than stock trading:
"Okay, you can save as much as possible in other places, but the quality of voice calls is the top priority. This is our only advantage in catching up with I. We cannot save money in this regard. If we really can't hold on, let's discuss it!"
"I feel at ease with Mr. Yuan's words." Qin Zhen laughed and suddenly heard someone calling him.
"You should do it first. Remember to have a New Year's Eve dinner with the team. What should be reimbursed will be reimbursed, and it will not be easy for the New Year!" Lin Yuan also heard it and reminded him.
"Okay!"
