Chapter 249 I really can’t laugh at all
"Zhu Sheng and Senior will come to our place to play. Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

After hanging up the phone, Ying Chanxi pouts a little angrily.

"I was thinking of mentioning it to you in the third year of the Chinese New Year." Li Luo scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Yan Zhusheng stayed with Aunt Yuan during the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, Aunt Yuan had to go back to work immediately. She was bored at home alone."

"Senior sister has never seen the New Year's celebration in the countryside and wanted to experience this kind of atmosphere, so she followed Zhusheng here."

"I thought it would be more lively with more people, so I agreed."

Li Luo talked a lot, causing Ying Chanxi to not notice that Li Luo had changed the subject at all. He subconsciously began to think about other things: "Where are they going to live here?"

"There is an empty room on the third floor of my house." Li Luo said.

The villas here are all four-story, but the fourth floor is usually converted into rental housing, providing cheap rental housing for migrant workers who work in nearby factories.

Some families even rent out the third floor, leaving only the living room on the second floor, while the elderly in the family live on the first floor.

For example, the fourth floor of Li Luo’s grandfather’s house is rented out. Although the tenants are not here during the Chinese New Year, it is impossible for them to let others stay overnight.

"You only have one room." Ying Chanxi said.

"Then there's Uncle's house, with plenty of empty rooms."

"You should stay at my place." Ying Chanxi thought about it and said, "But there is only one empty room on the third floor of our house."

"Isn't this perfect? ​​They each have a room."

How could this be perfect... Ying Chanxi muttered to himself, and then he had no choice but to say, "Then Zhu Sheng can live with me at my house, and I can let Senior Sister live at your place."

Zhu Sheng goes jogging with Li Luo in the morning every day. As for the senior sister... They have lived together in Bi Hai Lan Ting for so long, Ying Chanxi thinks he knows her very well.

"It doesn't matter, it's up to you."

The New Year’s Eve dinner started at eight o’clock in the evening and Li Luo didn’t put down his chopsticks until after nine o’clock.

At this time, Lin Xiuhong took Li Luo with a glass of wine and went to the house of her second and third grandfathers across the street to toast and wish them a happy new year.

The three families visited each other and drank. The men soon gathered together to brag and talk nonsense, bursting into laughter from time to time, and then they urged each other to drink with red faces.

Li Luo thought they were too noisy, so he simply called Ying Chanxi and the others out. He came to the yard with a bunch of fireworks he had bought before the New Year, took out his lighter and started setting off the fireworks.

"Save the big one for New Year's Eve," Li Luo said, "You can play with the other small ones first."

Chen Yongqi was not interested in setting off firecrackers and sneaked back home to play games.

Chen Lu pulled Chen Sijia, who had just returned from her grandfather's house, to play with fairy wands. Holding the glowing fairy wand in her hand, she wrote in the air.

Ying Chanxi did not play with the fairy wand, but went home to take down the Polaroid camera that Li Luo gave her and engraved each photo.

The drinking party upstairs ended at around ten o'clock in the evening.

When Li Luo and the others went upstairs, the living room was already in a mess, with wine bottles and garbage all over the floor.

Lin Xiuhong and her friends have started a new round of mahjong.

Li Luo and his friends were tired of playing with fireworks, so they sat around the coffee table and continued playing poker.

"Where is Qiqi?" Li Xuexian was sharp-eyed and immediately noticed that her son was missing.

Li Luo coughed twice: "Maybe he went on a date."

"What kind of meeting?" Li Xuexian said unhappily, "Isn't it just going home to play games?"

They went to play games, but they also went on a date. After all, Li Luo knew in his previous life that Chen Yongqi's favorite thing to play was various galgames.

There's nothing wrong with saying it's a date in the game.

There was nothing his family could do about him.

"By the way, brother, do you have any connections with the landlord of the shop on West Street?"

Some people were playing mahjong in the living room, while others were playing poker. Li Guohong still remembered what Li Luo had mentioned to him, so he started to ask Li Guoru about it.

"Why are you asking this?" Li Guoru asked curiously, "The shop on West Street... do you still want to buy it?"

"Ahem." Li Guohong leaned over to Li Guoru and whispered, "That's right, I do have this idea."

"Didn't you just buy it..." Li Guoru was halfway through saying this when he suddenly realized something and then took back the words. He thought for a while and said, "Well... I don't know any landlords on West Street, but I can introduce you to a friend."

"What do you mean?" Li Guohong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there would be such a possibility.

Although Li Guoru has not been in business for many years, he has made many acquaintances from his travels around the country.

After knowing Li Guohong's needs, Li Guoru thought for a while and said, "I know a few friends who are agents. They probably have a lot of information. I'll invite you to sit down and have a chat?"

"That's great." Li Guohong agreed quickly.

"But..." Li Guoru leaned close to his brother's ear and asked softly, "I know your Li Luo made a lot of money from his writing last month, but are you planning to buy a new house so early? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

Li Guohong was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Guoru already knew about Li Luo's royalties. "It's not that urgent. I just want to wait and see. I may not buy it in the end."

"I understand." Li Guoru nodded. "Then I'll keep an eye out for you. I'll take you to meet a few agents. Don't be fooled. These people are very good at talking."

After finalizing this matter, Li Guohong felt relieved.

If Li Luo's royalties can really be maintained at 37 yuan in the next few months, then Li Guohong would definitely be willing to try to buy another storefront while the subway line in Yinjiang District has not yet been officially determined.

In this way, even if he and Lin Xiuhong no longer run the breakfast shop, they can still have a good and stable income by collecting rent every month from the breakfast shop and the two storefronts at the subway entrance.

When the subway entrance is completed in the future, the rent of shops on West Street may also increase, and by then they will not earn less than what they can earn by working hard from dawn to dusk.

Li Luo didn't know at this moment that his father was still worrying about the storefront during the New Year's Day.

He has now become friends with the children and is thoroughly enjoying this kind of fun.

In his impression, the New Year was only so enjoyable when he was a child.

When we grow up, the older generation of relatives pass away one after another, our parents gradually grow old, and the younger generation all start their own families, making it difficult for us to get together during the New Year.

The Chinese New Year at that time really had no festive atmosphere at all.

New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival are more like simple long holidays rather than festivals with profound meanings.

And when I grew up, I was not like Li Guohong and Ying Zhicheng, who grew up in the same village when they were young.

Therefore, after becoming an adult, Li Luo's relationship with his brothers and sisters gradually faded with the passing of the older generation.

Only now, when the family tradition has not completely disappeared and the urban atomized family has not yet been fully formed, can Li Luo take advantage of his young age to feel the strong New Year atmosphere again.

From then on, the scene of more than a dozen people gathering together to have New Year’s Eve dinner like this became less and less likely to happen every year.

When I was a child, I thought that this kind of New Year’s Eve dinner would continue forever and happen again every year.

But now Li Luo is very clear that the wheel of history rolls forward and no one can stop the tide of the times.

So he began to cherish the present more.

"It's almost New Year's Eve." Ying Chanxi glanced at the time. It was already 11:57 pm. "Only three minutes left."

"Let's go downstairs and set off the fireworks." Li Luo glanced at the watch Ying Chanxi gave him, then immediately stood up and asked them to follow him.

Ying Chanxi followed Li Luo, jumped down the stairs with an expectant look on his face, and came to the yard.

Some people who couldn't hold back any longer had already set off fireworks more than half an hour ago.

The sound of bang bang bang continued in the night sky.

The night sky of Lijia Village was illuminated as bright as day.

Ying Chanxi stood beside Li Luo, looking up at the fireworks in the sky, feeling excited.

She looked at the time displayed on her hand. Li Luo had already squatted next to a box of fireworks, waiting for her instructions.

As Ying Chanxi counted down "three, two, one", Li Luo lit the fuse with a lighter, and then immediately ran back to Ying Chanxi.

The impact on the eardrums when fireworks sound somewhere else and when they sound just a few meters away from you are completely different.

Ying Chanxi hadn't watched fireworks from such a close distance for a long time. When the first bunch of fireworks went off with a loud "bang", she suddenly screamed "Ah" and her whole body shook.

When the first bunch of fireworks rose high into the sky and bloomed brilliantly, the second bunch also "banged" into the sky, scaring Ying Chanxi's heart again.

"Idiot, cover your ears." Li Luo stood behind Ying Chanxi and stretched out his hands to cover her ears.

Ying Chanxi felt something furry on his ears. He turned his head and looked around, and found that Li Luo had put on gloves at some point.

And...it seems like the same style as the one I gave him.

"What are you looking at? The fireworks." Li Luo leaned close to her ear and said.

"I'm watching." Ying Chanxi responded, then turned around, blushing and took the initiative to help Li Luo cover his ears.

The two of them just covered each other's ears foolishly, then turned their heads to look at the fireworks blooming in the night sky.

"Happy New Year!" "Yes, Happy New Year."

"Jia Jia." Chen Lu sat on the steps leading to the small balcony on the second floor, propping up his chin and looking at the two brothers and sisters in the yard, "When do you think we can have a feast at their wedding?"

Chen Sijia followed Chen Lu's gaze and then fell into deep thought: "At least wait until I graduate from college, right?"

"But why do I feel that when they go to college, I will be able to be their aunt?"

"Well, that's possible." Chen Sijia nodded.

"Hey, Jiajia." Chen Lu poked Chen Sijia's waist, "Look at how great Li Luo is. He has raised his wife by his side since she was a child. What about you?"

"I don't want to get married. I just want to be able to support myself." Chen Sijia shook her head. "Sister Lulu, you should worry more about yourself."

"Indeed." Chen Lu looked at the two in the yard and couldn't help but sigh, "Why don't I have a childhood sweetheart? It's great... I feel younger after seeing them so many times."

The two sisters were whispering on the steps.

Li Xiang was lying on the balcony railing, sometimes looking up to admire the fireworks, and sometimes looking down to eat some dog food.

"Uncle is so shameless. How can the plot written in the novel be used in real life?" Li Xiang muttered to himself. He really wanted to take a photo of them and post it in the book review section of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity".

Li Luo had previously written a New Year plot, which included a segment where the protagonist Li Yang and his childhood sweetheart Shen Dongdong were setting off fireworks, and in that segment the two of them were also covering each other's ears.

Looking at Li Luo and Ying Chanxi in the yard at this moment, I really have the illusion that fantasy has come true.

but……

"What about my Jiang Mingyue?" Li Xiang muttered quietly, "Shen Dongdong is too strong in real life, no wonder he has to be weakened in the novel."

While Li Xiang was muttering upstairs, the fireworks downstairs had finished.

Li Luo and Ying Chanxi let go of each other's hands tacitly and took half a step back.

At this moment, Li Luo, who was originally planning to light the second box of fireworks, suddenly heard Ying Chanxi exclaim "Wow~" in surprise.

"Li Luo! It's snowing! Look!" Ying Chanxi jumped up happily and pointed at the sky, "It's really snowing."

Li Luo looked up and saw tiny snowflakes falling.

Chen Lu and Chen Sijia, who were on the steps, also noticed this scene. They went downstairs to the yard and looked up at the sky where snow was falling.

Just then, Li Luo's cell phone vibrated.

He took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and then answered the call.

"Hey?"

"Li Luo, Happy New Year." Yan Zhusheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, Happy New Year."

"Did you see it?"

"Hmm? What did you see?"

"It's snowing." Yan Zhusheng said, "Is it snowing over there too?"

"Down, just saw it."

"So are we looking at the same snow?"

"Of course." Li Luo smiled. "In ancient times, people could share the beauty of the moon even though they were thousands of miles apart. Now, we can also share the beauty of the snow even though we are thousands of miles apart."

"Li Luo, who are you talking to on the phone?" Ying Chanxi, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask when he saw him smiling so happily.

"Oh, it's Zhu Sheng." Li Luo handed the phone to Ying Chanxi's ear, "Say hello to her."

"Zhu Sheng?" Ying Chanxi greeted, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Xixi." Yan Zhusheng said, "See you on the third day of the New Year."

After these words came out, Ying Chanxi was suddenly confused: "Didn't you say you would come on the fourth day of the New Year?"

"I discussed it with my senior, and since I felt like there was nothing to do at home, I decided to move up to the third year of junior high school." Yan Zhusheng said honestly, "Li Luo said it was okay."

"Oh, so that's it..." Ying Chanxi laughed and looked at Li Luo with narrowed eyes.

At this moment, Li Luo didn't know what was going on. He was walking to the fireworks and preparing to light them when he inexplicably felt a murderous intent on his back.

By the time he lit the fireworks and returned to Ying Chanxi's side, everything returned to normal.

"Here, it's for you." Ying Chanxi returned the phone to him.

Li Luo took it and continued to answer the call, then he heard Yan Zhusheng on the other end say, "I have a gift for you."

"what gift?"

"It's a New Year's red envelope." Yan Zhusheng said, "You can check the writer's background and you'll know. I'm going to hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Li Luo opened his writer background with doubts and guesses.

Then I saw a message about rewarding someone.

[Sheng Sheng Bu Xi] Reward "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" with 1000000 Qidian Coins.

What the hell?
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million... one million? !
If converted into RMB, that would be a full 10,000 yuan!

Thinking of this, Li Luo quickly opened the Kaidian APP, and then clearly saw a site-wide banner notification floating above.

[Sheng Sheng Bu Xi] Support the silver treasure chest of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" and become a silver ally of this work!

Although ten thousand yuan is a common amount for Li Luo now.

But the experience of receiving the Silver Alliance for the first time in his two lifetimes still made Li Luo a little dazed.

This girl... a red envelope of 10,000 yuan... Can't you just put it in the red envelope and give it to him offline?

What a waste of money!

The website will take half of the commission.

What a waste!

But just when Li Luo was stunned and distressed, Ying Chanxi on the side had already seen Yan Zhusheng's reward.

So soon...

[Go to bed early and you will grow taller] Support the silver treasure chest of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" and become a silver ally of this work!

[Xixi Bu Xixi] Support the silver treasure chest of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" and become a silver ally of this work!

Depend on!
Li Luo looked at the two silver alliances that followed and froze in place for a moment, then felt a little amused.

"Ying Chanxi!" Li Luo said to Ying Chanxi in a bad mood, "Who told you to spend so much money? You might as well just give it to me."

"What do you care!" Ying Chanxi puffed his lips in anger, "I want to reward you, you have to accept it even if you don't want it. Zhu Sheng can beat him, but I can't? And this guy called Early Sleeping, didn't he beat you too?"

"Okay." Li Luo shrugged helplessly. He had to bear the beauty's favor alone in silence.

But at this time, Ying Chanxi was a little puzzled and suspicious: "This person who said going to bed early will make you taller, could it be a senior? I saw her posts and comments, and she has always been supporting Jiang Mingyue."

"But I see she's also writing a book on this website, and she doesn't seem like a senior."

"Li Luo, do you know this person?"

"Hmm..." Li Luo listened to Ying Chanxi's analysis and immediately broke into a cold sweat for Xu Youyu. "I guess he knows me. He and I have the same editor, but I don't know who he is."

"You also gave her rewards as the leader?!" Ying Chanxi followed the homepage of the Early Sleep Club and found the comment section of "Literary Age". Then he saw Li Luo's long comment that was pinned to the top.

And the avatar of [Reignite] in the comment section is that of a leader.

"The other party gave me a reward as the leader first, so out of courtesy, I gave one back. This is a kind of human interaction." Li Luo explained seriously.

After hearing what he said, Ying Chanxi no longer had any doubts.

After all, Xu Youyu doesn't look like someone who can write online articles.

It was just that Ying Chanxi was a little stressed, so he thought so subconsciously.

"Then let me explain another thing now." Ying Chanxi snorted coldly and said to Li Luo.

"Anything else?" Li Luo felt relieved for Xu Youyu when he saw Ying Chanxi didn't ask any more questions. He thought to himself, I have tried my best. It's all your fault, senior sister, for being too ostentatious. Why are you following suit in rewarding the Silver Alliance?

Ten thousand dollars!

Wouldn't it be a waste of your essay writing prize money?

Li Luo was thinking about this when Ying Chanxi asked, "Zhu Sheng just told me that she and her senior will be here in the third grade. What's going on?"
