Chapter 708
Tangcheng, Hu Liang's residence.
His wife cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, and Hu Liang poured himself a drink from eight o'clock to eleven o'clock.
Just a little drunk, still want to drink, really want to get drunk.
The wife put the two sons to sleep, sat down at the dining table, and said softly: "Drink less!"
Hu Liang poured a glass of beer and said with a smile, "Drink some with me!"
The couple who haven't sat together drinking for a long time chatted while drinking.
The wife said: "Liangzi, don't be unhappy, no matter how our family lives in the future, as long as the family of four is together!"
This year has been an eventful one.
Hu Liang made his way to the top, and directly became the chief of the supply and marketing section of Yuansheng Iron and Steel.
The end of the year was approaching, and a catastrophe was imminent. Suddenly, he fell into a big stumble. His serious job was gone, and his bonus of more than 600,000 yuan was gone.
After drinking for so long today, the wife thought that her husband still couldn't think about it.
Hu Liang laughed angrily, pointed at his wife and said, "We've been together for so long, why don't you understand me? I'm not in a bad mood, I just want to drink today!"
Hu Liang drank a glass of wine, lit a cigarette, and said slowly: "Daughter-in-law, these words are really not to comfort you, every sentence comes from the bottom of my heart, don't look at the more than 600,000 yuan I didn't get. Sorry, nothing happened!"
"I've told you before that I've met a nobleman, and I'll reiterate to you today that Brother Bai is the greatest nobleman in my life, Hu Liang! What is this little money? I will hang out with Brother Bai in the future, and we'll just wait for the fame." You have to drink something spicy!"
"Why did I drink so much tonight? I'm so happy! Why are you so happy? This year, Brother Bai is truly my brother, so 2004 was a bumper year for me! It's worth celebrating!"
...
Hu Liang talked more and more vigorously, and talked about many things with some alcohol, but everything was inseparable from his brother Bai.
The wife ate the wine with the story, drank one cup after another, until she blushed.
In the end, the wife drank the last glass and pinched Hu Liang severely, "Brother Bai, is there anyone else in your mouth?"
Hu Liang was stunned for a moment. In the past, his own wife would never dare to do this, obviously because she was too drunk.
Looking at his wife's blushing face, Hu Liang's heart swayed, and he said with a smile: "My mouth is Bai Ge, and my eyes are all about you!"
Coupled with shyness, his wife's face became more rosy, like a peach blossom.
Hu Liang suddenly thought of something, he took out his cigarette and took out his mobile phone, after thinking about it, he just sent a message.
"Brother Bai, good health and good luck in the new year!"
Not long after, Hu Liang received the message.
"Huzi, a good brother for life, let's work together in 2005!"
Hu Liang put down his phone and laughed out loud.
...
...
Lijia Village is even more lively.
Wolong Village is considered to be rich, Lijia Village iron mining industry developed earlier, richer than Wolong Village.
Of course, the richest person is Li Xiongfei, the richest man in Lijia Village and the number one person in Tang City.
Even though he is so rich, Li Xiongfei just lives in the village. First, it is convenient to manage the enterprise, and second, he is not used to living in the city.
This year, the Li family is more lively than ever, and the New Year is no longer a family of three, but a new family.
Xia Zhi didn't go back to her home, and followed Li Bao to celebrate the New Year here.
When Li's mother heard the good news, her face was like a flower blooming, and she smiled from ear to ear. Everyone said that Xiaobao was going to bring his daughter-in-law home to celebrate the New Year, and it was short of a loudspeaker to broadcast.
The New Year's Eve dinner is a sumptuous one, with chicken, duck, fish, fresh seafood, everything that one expects to find.
Although it was the first time to come to Li's house, Xia Zhi behaved dignified and generous, not twitchy at all.
Mother Li looked at her daughter-in-law, seeing that it was called joy, one hundred and one thousand were willing.
Li Xiongfei and his son said this while drinking.
Li Bao glanced at his mother and said, "Mom, don't be frightened by Xia Zhi!"
No wonder Li Bao said that, Mother Li's eyes never left Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi smiled and said: "Auntie, don't listen to him, our mother and I have a good relationship!"
Mother Li clapped her hands happily, "Yes, yes, our mothers are destined!"
Li Xiongfei drank half a glass of wine and had already become addicted to cigarettes, but when his daughter-in-law came home for the first time, she didn't dare to smoke in front of her, feeling very uncomfortable.
Li Bao took out a cigarette and said with a smile, "Dad, are you going crazy? It's okay, Xia Zhi doesn't mind!"
Xia Zhi suddenly realized, and said apologetically, "Uncle, it's all my fault for not paying attention, it's okay, you smoke yours, I used to smell Xiaobao's second-hand smoke a lot!"
Li Xiongfei was relieved now, and wanted to light the cigarette after receiving it, but his thigh was pinched severely by his wife.
Li Xiongfei seemed to have nothing to do, and said with a smile: "I'll just go outside and pull out roots!"
Li Bao was stunned for a moment, and followed his father out.
The two of them squatted in the yard, smoking a cigarette.
Li Xiongfei said: "How is your business over there?"
Li Bao said: "Internet cafes are still the same. Brother Bai and I partnered to establish an Internet company. We are currently developing games, and they will be listed soon!"
Li Xiongfei nodded. If it was in the past, he would have to ask questions anyway. He was afraid that his son would go astray. When he heard that he was partnering with Zhang Xiaobai to start a company, he had no worries.
Although he hasn't met Zhang Xiaobai a few times, and hasn't gotten along with him much, Li Xiongfei has to give him a thumbs up for his character and ability.
That guy is really not covered!
Li Xiongfei said: "I heard that Internet companies burn a lot of money, so be honest with them. Xiaobao! Never forget, I am only your son, and all my money is yours!"
Li Bao chuckled, "Old Li, this is so sweet! When I run out of money, you can't go back on your word!"
Li Xiongfei laughed and scolded: "It's not big or small!"
Despite cursing, Lao Li was in a good mood.
Li Xiongfei suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "How do you sleep for a while?"
Li Bao frowned and said, "How else can you sleep? Of course you two live in the same room, and our young couple live in the same room!"
Li Xiongfei was shocked and said: "You have already..."
Li Bao threw away the cigarette butt and stood up, angrily said: "What a fuss, what a big deal!"
Li Xiongfei slowly took a puff of cigarette, and murmured: "The world is different!"
Li's mother is an enlightened person, and she has already made preparations, and the new bedding is ready.
When the two entered the room, Li Bao lay on the bed and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
"Brother Bai, don't say I'm not righteous. I wanted to call you at twelve o'clock to say New Year's greetings. I was afraid that the line would be busy at that time and I wouldn't be able to get in, so I wish Brother Bai a happy New Year in advance!"
"Smelly boy, happy new year!" Zhang Xiaobai said.
"It's done, I won't say anything else, just hang up!" Li Bao laughed.
"Wait a minute, you won't say it, I will say it, in the new year, I wish our treasure chests to make a lot of money every day!"
"Okay! Make money every day!"
Li Bao hung up the phone with a smile.
Xia Zhi spread the quilt and said, "Little Treasure, isn't the treasure chest going to burn money after the Chinese New Year?"
Li Bao nodded and said, "Yes, it is probably indispensable!"
Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is it too risky? Don't lose money!"
Li Bao smiled and said, "No, who is Brother Bai? In an omnipotent society, Brother Bai!"
Xia Zhi sighed and did not continue.
How can you live up to the beautiful scenery on a good day?
sleep!
...
...
Yanjing City is even more brilliantly lit.
Cheng Feng took Fang Fang to the New Year's Eve dinner with his parents, and watched the Spring Festival Gala after eating.
Father Cheng's mind was absent-minded, no matter how good the TV show was, he didn't have the time to watch it. Cheng's supermarket officially declared war, fought a few small battles, and lost steadily.
The Cheng family sighed, and said, "Son, is Zhang Xiaobai reliable? It's been so long, why hasn't there been any movement?"
Cheng Feng said: "Dad, this is not a trivial matter, how can we see immediate results?"
The Cheng family frowned and said, "But I haven't seen him do anything. He can't be the kind of person who just talks and doesn't do anything, right?"
In the past, Cheng Feng was already angry. After such a big incident, Cheng Feng could be angry, but he would never get angry with his father.
Cheng Feng said patiently: "Dad, we are brothers, I am your son, you trust me, he is also your son, you should trust him!"
The Cheng family said, "But I'm afraid he's not as good as you say!"
Cheng Feng said with a smile: "There is still one year, so you can do it!"
Continue watching TV, the zero o'clock is about to ring.
Cheng Feng sent a simple message.
"Boss, Happy New Year!"
"Second, Happy New Year too!" Zhang Xiaobai replied.
...
...
Also in this city, two women celebrated the New Year together.
One is the big star Zhou Zhou, and the other is an unknown singer Xu Pan'er.
In Los Angeles, Xu Pan'er's "Sea Waves" changed his destiny. Since then, he came to Yanjing to follow Zhou Zhou and became the first person signed by Zhou Zhou's studio.
Zhou Zhou didn't go home for the New Year. She rejected that family from the bottom of her heart. As long as she saw her parents, they had nothing else to do. No matter how much money was given to them, it was not enough to spend, and she still asked for money.
It is better not to go home than to quarrel at home.
Seeing that Zhou Zhou didn't come home, Xu Pan'er also said that going home was boring, so she stayed in Yanjing to accompany her.
The two lived in Zhou Zhou's house.
Dumplings are red wine, and the two of them have already drank a lot.
Zhou Zhou said: "After a while, Yanjing Satellite TV will hold a song talent show. Pei Fei and I are both mentors. You will participate in it then!"
Xu Pan'er picked up the cup with both hands, and said excitedly: "Sister Zhou, thank you for cultivating me!"
The two took a sip of wine.
Zhou Zhou said: "I can only guarantee that you can advance smoothly. As for how far you can go, it depends on your luck and ability. Practice a lot these days, and strength comes first!"
Xu Pan'er nodded vigorously, "Sister Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely work harder!"
Zhou Zhou looked at Xu Pan'er, smiled slightly, and said, "It would be great if I knew you earlier, so I can take part in this film I made."
Xu Pan'er smiled and said, "Sister Zhou, it's an honor to meet you. I don't know how much virtue I have accumulated in my previous life? When will your new film be released? I have to make a show even if I don't have money!"
Zhou Zhou said: "Why do you need to book the venue? Wait until you become a star! If there are no accidents, it should be during the summer vacation!"
Having said that, Zhou Zhou stood up slowly, walked to the balcony and looked at the night sky quietly.
This movie is a love letter.
The day of release is the time to confess.
Xiaobai, when the time comes, I will let the whole world know that the goddess in their hearts already has a sweetheart.
Zhou Zhou smiled slightly, took out his mobile phone, edited a message, pressed the number skillfully, and sent it.
"In a distant place, there is someone looking up at the same night sky, I wish you a happy new year!"
After sending it, Zhou Zhou held the phone tightly, feeling a little uneasy, wanting him to reply to the message, but also a little afraid of him replying, wanting him to know who he is, but afraid that he will know.
For the first time in a long, long time, she assumed a little girlish attitude.
After a while, the sound of the text message almost made her heart jump out.
"You! You will never grow up! It should be said that you will be forever young!"
Seeing this message, Zhou Zhou held his mobile phone in his arms, so excited that he shed tears.
Seeing such a scene, Xu Pan'er frowned slightly.

Du Family Courtyard.
We usually eat together, let alone New Year's Eve dinner.
Don't talk about things while eating, but start chatting after eating.
Yao Yuan said, "Father, I have a request for instructions!"
Du Zhongfu said: "What do you ask for instructions?"
Yao Yuan said: "Mengni is not young anymore, she has grown rapidly in the past two years, and I feel fully capable of taking over!"
Du Zhongfu didn't answer, but looked at his granddaughter beside him.
Du Mengni, who was wearing a red padded jacket, hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm still a child, how can I take over such a large property as Yuanda? Little uncle, you can't just let it go!"
Du Ruyue glared at Du Mengni, and said in a low voice: "We want to travel around the world, when will you let your uncle go?"
Du Mengni didn't seem to hear.
Du Zhongfu coughed dryly and said, "Meng Ni is still young, let's talk about it later!"
Without waiting for Yao Yuan's objection, Du Zhongfu walked out without giving them a chance to speak.
Then Du Mengni stuck out her tongue and ran away.
Back in the boudoir, Du Mengni lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Suddenly, Du Mengni got up and knelt on the kang.
She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and said reverently: "God, 2005 is here, I may have a wish, that little heartless person doesn't like me, so please give me a boyfriend!"

...
Los Angeles.
The Noble Nightclub has also been changed into a Noble Hotel, specializing in catering and accommodation, and it is a real business.
With Zhao Tianhao's support, the Noble Hotel has become the top three hotels in Los Angeles.
This night, although Zhang Xiaobai was not there, the people who became friends because of him gathered together.
Zhao Tianhao, Cheng Jianhui, Wei Qianshan, the couple, the Four King Kongs and Wang Changhu who did not return home.
Cheng Jianhui just announced a piece of good news.
Back then, one of the two Zhaos in Los Angeles, Zhao Tianhao's deadly rival, Zhao Dajun, who had had a grudge against Zhang Xiaobai, finally fell into it.
Hearing the news, Zhao Tianhao was not that excited, but rather emotional.
"Everyone is not an outsider. Xiaobai is not here today, so I am being hypocritical. Thanks to Xiaobai, otherwise I might have gone in!"
Cheng Jianhui said: "Brother Hao, you can't say that, who let us know Xiaobai?"
Zhao Tianhao smiled and said: "Yes, Xiaobai is our lucky star, I propose, let's toast to Xiaobai together!"
Du Mengni hurriedly said: "Wait, since you want to respect my master, at least you have to let him know, right?"
Then Du Mengni happily took out her mobile phone and dialed the number.
After Zhang Xiaobai on the other end of the phone finished listening, he ran downstairs to find a bottle of beer.
Drink from distance.
Happy New Year to each other!
After hanging up the phone, Wang Changhu quietly walked to the window with his wine glass in his hand, and murmured, "Juan'er! Happy wedding! Happy New Year!"
...
...
The food in Los Angeles Prison is also good. Although there is no wine, they can eat dumplings.
Ji Xiaorou was lying on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep, and couldn't close her mouth.
I just got the news today that my sentence has been commuted for another two years, which means that I will be released from prison in July.
Ji Xiaorou is not going to tell them the good news.
When the time comes, give them a big surprise!
...
...
In a small town in the south, Liu Jie finally returned home.
The mother was very enthusiastic, and the father was lukewarm, but the New Year's Eve dinner was quite harmonious.
After eating, my father winked at my mother.
The mother said: "Girl, what are your plans after the new year?"
Liu Jie said: "Mom, I'm going back to Los Angeles, and I'll be leaving in the third year of junior high school!"
The mother said softly: "Girl! Our old couple is not too young. You, the only child, have not been in good health for the past two years, so you can't stay with us?"
Speaking of this, the mother burst into tears.
With tears in her eyes, Liu Jie stood up and knelt down with a plop, but her eyes were still stubborn.
Liu Jie choked up and said, "Dad, Mom, forgive me for being unfilial!"
Finally, the father couldn't control himself, and pointed to the door with trembling fingers, "Go, go now, I'll pretend I never gave birth to such an unfilial child like you!"
Liu Jie stood up slowly, her eyes blurred with tears, she walked to her room step by step and began to pack her things.
When she walked to the door with the big suitcase, the mother wailed and hugged her daughter tightly from behind.
"My silly girl, where are you going this late at night!"
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
...
...
Jinling, Tianjia.
This New Year's Eve dinner was not pleasant.
Tian Dafang told Tian Ye about a marriage. The other party's family background and status were comparable to Tian's family. The girl was also beautiful, and she was a top student in a famous foreign university.
From outsiders' perspective, these two are a match made in heaven.
But Tian Ye didn't even think about it, and just said no.
Tian Dafang's donkey temper also came up, and the old Chinese New Year yelled at Tian Ye for a long time, insisting that he should meet the girl.
Finally, Tian Ye slammed out the door with a bottle of liquor in hand.
There are no dishes, only wine, on the hillside behind the villa.
Tian Ye drank liquor with the northwest wind.
Taking out his cell phone, Tian Ye made a call.
"Boss, I am so miserable!"
"Third brother, if you have any troubles, just tell the boss, what are friends for? Share joys and sorrows, when do you not use them at this time?"
...
...
On New Year's Eve, thousands of lights, thousands of stories!
And on the other side of the ocean, there are stories too!
Although there is only one chapter, it is a large chapter of nearly 5,000 words!
