Compared to the ordinary but warm New Year that the Zhu family has lived, Li Rui is nervous every day during the New Year in Beijing.

When he followed his mother to his grandmother's house, it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. As soon as he got off the plane, he saw Zheng Tianqi coming to pick him up, and there was a driver waiting outside.

In his previous life, he was very repulsive to Beijing. They didn’t like him, and he was unwilling to touch others’ cold butts, so at most he would come to stay for two days during the Chinese New Year.

The more people like the Zheng family, the less likely it is to have a next generation who is ignorant. Li Rui did not get into Zheng Tianqi's circle in his previous life, but he still knew something. There were lawless and morally corrupt in that circle. However, even if they gave people the feeling of a playboy, they knew a lot. After all, the elders may not take care of the psychological problems of the next generation, but they all valued education. Just say that Zheng Tianqi may not have learned well, but he knows a lot, and has learned a lot. He has learned a lot.

He used to have no specialties, and he often doesn't understand their chats, so no wonder he was despised...

It was already evening when we arrived at the Zheng family. The Zheng family's house was a small house with a single house. It can be seen that the people living nearby are not simple. There are guards outside the small house. However, except for this, if you really enter the house, you really can't see any difference.

Zheng Xiaoqing has not been home for a long time. This time she came back with her husband and son, and she looked a little excited. When she entered the house, she saw her parents and brothers all around. Even though she was almost forty years old, some of her little daughter's expressions appeared on her face.

Li Rui and Li Yue had never noticed this before, and they only thought that Zheng Xiaoqing was a very strong person. Now, when they saw Zheng Xiaoqing talking to her parents, they felt very complicated.

However, all the attention of the two old men was on Zheng Xiaoqing, and they were obviously ignoring them, but it made people feel uncomfortable.

"Is this Li Rui? He is so old in the blink of an eye..." Zheng Xianghong is already in his seventies, but he looks quite tough. His eyes look at Li Rui with scrutiny. Although such sharp eyes made Li Rui subconsciously want to avoid it, this idea flies and Li Rui still meets the other party's gaze.

If it were the timid and fearful child raised by Li Yue's parents, he might have been scared to tears at this moment, but after twenty years of experience, Li Rui was not scared.

Zheng Xianghong was quite satisfied with Li Rui's reaction and smiled slightly on her face: "This child is pretty good. Is he sick half a year ago?"

When he heard that Li Rui's illness half a year ago, both Zheng Xiaoqing and Li Yue's expressions were a little unnatural. After all, Zheng Xiaoqing spoke: "Dad, Ruirui is getting better now."

Zheng Xianghong knew very well what his daughter was, but she snorted and stopped talking. He would mention this, just to warn the incompetent parents.

He was dissatisfied with Li Yue and his family, but after all, Li Rui was his grandson, so he couldn't ignore it.

"Come on, Ruirui, let me show my grandmother." He Qiao glanced at Zheng Xianghong, then waved to Li Rui.

Li Rui had a bad relationship with his grandmother in his previous life, but He Qiao was quite old and died when he was twelve years old... He didn't have much impression of him.

When he walked to his grandmother, Li Rui was carefully looked at him. He Qiao even looked at his hand. After finding that he was not seriously injured, he pointed to a 10** girl and said, "This is your cousin, thirteen years older than you."

He pointed at a young man in his twenties again: "That's your cousin. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask him to help you."

He Qiao finally pointed to the middle-aged man standing aside: "That's your uncle. Your mother was most afraid of him when she was a child. And your aunt is not here now, you will see her in two days."

Uncle Zheng Zhenhua, cousin Zheng Tianyang, cousin Zheng Tianmin, and Li Rui actually knew each other, but they didn't have a deep relationship.

In his previous life, he had no one to pay attention or guidance, and he didn't know how to get along with his grandparents and his family. He was even afraid of them because of some of the words of his grandparents and father, so he naturally couldn't get close to him. Everything can change in this life, right?

The supper was quite sumptuous. When the nanny brought out all the dishes, Li Rui saw that many of them were loved by Zheng Xiaoqing.

When he was young, he was always impatient to listen to his own affairs because he was young because he couldn't understand a lot of things because he was always impatient and thought about his own affairs. Now he pricked up his ears and listened to every word they said, secretly paying attention to their expressions.

It can be seen that Zheng Xiaoqing has a good relationship with her parents and brother, but Li Yue has been at a loss. As for her cousin and Zheng Tianqi, the relationship between them is very good.

The Zheng family has some unwritten regulations. When eating, Zheng Xianghong always needs to move his chopsticks before he can start eating. Now the dishes are almost done, so it’s time to have a meal.

"What does Ruirui like to eat?" Zheng Xianghong suddenly asked Li Rui. They had always been paying attention to Zheng Xiaoqing. They naturally knew about this child's affairs as soon as they broke up. They originally wanted to bring the child to Beijing, but later they saw that Li Yue was unwilling to do so, so they didn't plan to take care of it. But now seeing the child's performance, he suddenly became interested.

I originally thought that Li Rui, who was treated unfairly, would develop a timid and cowardly temperament, but Zheng Xianghong thought this was not bad. Zheng Xiaoqing was proactive and made a big profit in the family business. As long as her son could achieve success, and if his personality was the same as Li Yue... In fact, it would be beneficial to the next generation of the Zheng family. A few days ago, he also signaled Zheng Tianqi to have a good relationship with this brother of the same mother. Now Li Rui's performance is different from the results obtained by the investigation, so he has to re-evaluate it.

"Grandpa, I'm not picky about food." Li Rui knew that he couldn't sit there like Zhu Yunxuan and could act coquettishly, but it was okay to be a polite child.

"Come on, have some roast duck legs." Zheng Xianghong moved his chopsticks, but picked one for Li Rui to pick it up.

Zheng Xianghong usually didn't pick up food for others, and this behavior was quite amazing, but then he stopped talking and started eating, and the others became silent.

Li Yue was a little uncomfortable with the situation at this moment. He wanted to ask his son what was going on, but he didn't dare to speak up and could only eat silently, and his appetite was much worse.

Li Rui was treated with a different look and felt a little uneasy. He was more careful in the days to come. At the same time, he found a way to follow Zheng Tianqi in order to know more about the situation of the Zheng family and leave a good impression on Zheng Xianghong.

However, Zheng Xianghong seemed to have forgotten him, and the rest of the Zheng family did not show any abnormality. The cousin was old and he didn't stay with him. The uncle was very busy and the aunt had never seen him. Zheng Xiaoqing was abnormal and stayed at home all day long...

Although Li Rui is always tense, paying attention to everything around him and wanting to know more about things, his shell is exactly six years old. Adults will not regard him as a child who listens to everything, nor will they regard him as an adult who can participate in their conversation. They often give him some food and let him leave...

In a blink of an eye, it is the Great Wall.

Everyone in the family was busy, and Li Rui's aunt also came back the day before. She was a somewhat silent woman and didn't talk much.

"Brother, are my handwriting good?" In the morning, the others were busy, but Li Rui and Zheng Tianqi were rushed upstairs to play on their own. Li Rui didn't like watching TV, so he simply wrote a big word.

"I wrote very well. I can't write so well at your age." Zheng Tianqi is not a difficult person to get along with. He has taught Li Rui a lot in the past few days.

"Brother, my cousin and cousin are all out to play, why haven't you gone out? Is it because of me?" Li Rui asked again.

"It has nothing to do with you." Zheng Tianqi's face changed slightly and he spoke.

In fact, there is nothing big, it's just that his biological father has come back for the New Year. The Yang family is not much worse than the Zheng family, and the Yang family has always been high-profile. There are many people who are clinging to the Yang family now. Not to mention that he won't go out, even Zheng Xiaoqing won't go out...

Li Rui also saw Zheng Tianqi's slightly changed face, but couldn't figure out why. Looking at the rest of the Zheng family, none of them were strange about this...

The nanny has already returned. At noon, it was Li Rui's aunt Liu Yun who cooked. Li Yue's expression was a bit strange and seemed to be very entangled. Suddenly he stood up and went to the kitchen bravely. After a while, Liu Yun came out with a relaxed look on his face.

Because of his self-esteem, Li Yue used to cook at the Zheng family, and always wanted to instruct Zheng Xiaoqing to do things, but now he has changed a lot...

Li Yue cooked very quickly and there were many ingredients in the kitchen. After a while, he brought several dishes, including braised pork, fried dried tofu with garlic, fried mushrooms with vegetables, pepper and salt chicken wings, stir-fried shredded pork, sweet and sour fish segments, and fish head tofu soup.

The dishes were all very large, after all, there were quite a lot of people. Zheng Xianghong and waited for the dishes to finish, and Li Yue sat down, then stretched out his chopsticks and picked the largest piece of braised pork clip, which attracted He Qiao's eyes.

However, for the old man who was restricted from eating meat, what is a roll of his eyes? During the Chinese New Year, he always needs to have a good meal! Speaking of which, Li Yue is not good, his cooking skills are still very good, much better than his daughter-in-law. If Li Yue and Zheng Xiaoqing exchange genders, he would never say much.

At the end of the meal, there was no left of any food. Zheng Tianyang and Zheng Tianmin looked at their mother from time to time while eating. Liu Yun's face changed and she took the initiative to wash the dishes after dinner.

Li Rui sat next to Zheng Tianqi, and suddenly Zheng Tianyang came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Your father's food is very good."

This is a special praise for himself? Li Rui looked at Zheng Tianyang leaving again before looking at Zheng Tianqi beside him.

"My aunt's cooking skills are very poor..." It should be said that Liu Yun has no cooking skills at all.

Put things together and cook them to ensure that they are salty and light, but the taste is really not very good.

"How did my aunt cook before?"

"Other people have worse cooking skills..." Zheng Tianqi spoke helplessly. Zheng Xianghong and He Qiao were both poor. Moreover, when they were young, they happened to be in war. Even if they were not poor, they had cooked food by themselves. However, the supplies were poor at that time, and it was difficult to make a white flour steamed bun. They still hoped to contact cooking? But people who were really hungry felt that the food was cooked and there was no need to pursue delicious food...

It is said that He Qiao is very good at making mixed grain cakes or steamed buns. Every steamed bun made by hand is the same size, but how can she cook... After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the men were as good as men and women who took their children to eat at the canteen and later had nannies and did not do anything at all.

Zheng Tianqi has been cooking since he was a child, and with one hand, he counted the number of times his grandmother cooked. Compared to those stir-frying dishes, the steamed bun made of corn flour made of grandmother Yi Ku Sitian actually tastes the best. Even if the steamed bun that is rough and difficult to swallow after biting, it doesn’t taste very good.

In the afternoon, Zheng Zhenhua took his wife out, and the others gathered together to make dumplings. Originally, the filling was made by He Qiao, but this time Li Yue took over.

One is cabbage and pork filling, and the other is leek and pork filling. After the filling is made, it is rolled out the dough and made into dumplings.

Zheng Xianghong did not take action, but instead talked about his experiences when he was young, lamenting the good life of young people today...

"Dad, when I was a child, because it was Qingming Festival on my birthday, my mother gave me a bacon bone to gnaw. The bone was still marinated before the Chinese New Year. I gnawed it for a day and it was still salty and fragrant." Li Yue didn't dare to talk to Zheng Xianghong, but when it came to the poor days he had lived, he empathized with it.

Zheng Xiaoqing and others lived in their childhood, but they would not lack food or clothing, but Li Yue was different. At that time, the Great Leap Forward and other things, the brigade cadres asked someone to pull up the rice from the two rice fields that were about to mature and let the superiors see them. Then when they were fed, they would beat them together. After they had finished making a lot of straw, they would weigh them again, and they could barely produce a thousand pounds per mu.

Originally, in places like Jiangnan, even if there was no hybrid rice or enough fertilizer, everyone could still eat enough to farm. However, the people above made such a struggle, which made the yield in the fields reduce, not only did the food that had to be handed over, but who could let go of the stomach and eat?

"Some years are indeed not easy, and many people have starved to death in many places." Zheng Xianghong said in a daze. He also knew a lot of things.

"Yes... I remember that at that time everyone could only raise half a chicken, and a family of four could only raise two chickens. Whoever raises more is capitalism. Once, the hen that lays eggs accidentally ate the poisonous rice sprinkled around the crops that were about to mature, and my mother cried all night... However, I picked up a lot of poisoned sparrows."

"Uncle, was it really that hard at that time?" Zheng Tianmin asked. She grew up in Beijing since she was a child. Even if she had heard about the hardships of going to the countryside and the pain of being criticized, Li Yue had never heard of the things about the country people. He had pulled up the rice that was almost mature together. Is there anyone really doing such a stupid thing?

"Some things are hard to say. The times are very different. In the first class I taught, the teacher taught five words "**Long Live". A classmate of mine took a knife and carved them on bamboo. The word "Sui" was not as good as the word "Fa". But our local dialect "Wan Fa" and "Breaking the Law". He was taken to criticize and fight at the age of eight..." Li Yue spoke, and then suddenly closed his mouth again. These things were privately told Zheng Xiaoqing that it was okay, at this time...

"There were indeed many wrong decisions at that time." Zheng Xianghong was very calm. He had experienced a lot, and what Li Yue said was nothing.

However, in the past, he always looked down on Li Yue, and Li Yue also avoided him. Even if He Qiao asked him to improve his relationship with Li Yue, it wouldn't matter. Now...

"At that time, I wanted to be brainwashed, and I couldn't say anyone else..." Li Yue smiled and said while making dumplings: "When I was in elementary school, my mother had to pay tuition fees with countless one-point and two-point coin coins for half a day. When she was cooking, she didn't put oil on it and fry it in a dry pot. She first used the oil to smear the pot. She wouldn't think about eating meat. People can't eat enough, and they can't raise pigs. After raising them for a long time, they only had sixty or seventy kilograms. If they were better, they would be taken away to support other countries... A big city like Beijing and Shanghai had a good life in the past 80s. In the countryside, there were few families who were poor ten years ago.

As for savings, when I was in high school in the 1980s, I was on holiday and carried leeks with a shoulder pole at 3 or 4 in the morning to sell them. I was not doing farm work well, so I could only carry half of the weight my elder brother had to carry…” He remembered those hard days in his heart, and the relatives who stuffed a handful of scattered money into his hands when he went to college and the elder brother who was resigned because he had no money… At that time, he always wanted to wait for his future to let everyone live a good life. He is indeed living a good life now, and his elder brother's life is not bad either, but why have they changed?

Li Rui remembered that even if their family would come to Beijing during the New Year in his previous life, Li Yue would definitely take them to his grandparents’ house on New Year’s Eve, and then his grandparents would deliberately let Zheng Xiaoqing do that...

His father still remembers his grandparents, but he would just remember them alone. Even if he wants to be nice to them, he shouldn't have brought his mother and him.
