Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 169: Your deskmate is coming to our house?

After all, humans are highly adaptable creatures.

After a night, You Shulian had completely accepted the fact that her son had made a lot of money and had begun planning how to use this "windfall".

"How about buying a house?"

She suggested: "When I was in Shanghai, I heard from others that housing prices have been rising rapidly, and my son has grown up, so it's time to buy a house."

"How can you buy a house with more than 300,000 yuan?" Bai Dejun said, "It's better to save it."

"Isn't it enough to buy a house in Xiangdong County? If not, we have some savings, so we can add a little more." You Shulian did not deny it, and said, "Didn't Yangyang rent a house near the school instead of living at his grandmother's house? Then why waste this money? Just buy a house next to the school."

"Besides, it's in the school district. When he graduates, he won't have any trouble renting it out. He won't lose money."

There would definitely not be a loss, Bai Yang knew that, the housing prices near Xiangdong No. 1 Middle School increased several times in the next ten years.

Bai Yang had no objection to his parents' planning of his money. It would be fine even if they saved it all since he could continue to earn money anyway.

But he still said, "Mom, there's no rush to buy a house. I'm not an adult yet. Maybe I can just go to a big city and buy a house in the future."

"I think you can use this money to open a small shop. You don't have to go so far to Shanghai. After all, big cities are not as comfortable as staying in the east, right?"

"Open a store?" You Shulian was stunned for a moment, then shook her head reflexively: "How can that be possible? This is your money. I bought a house for you. How can I use it to open a store?"

"My money is your money, isn't it?" Bai Yang quickly said, "I'm just a student, I don't need much money."

"That's not the same thing!" You Shulian interrupted directly: "Why open a store? What if it loses money?"

"Besides, if I rely on my son for my retirement at my age, wouldn't that make people laugh at me? Even though this amount of money is not small, it will be far from enough when you get married and have children."

Then there was another round of nagging, and Bai Yang could only retreat step by step.

He also knew that it was impossible for him to persuade his parents. Concepts were not so easy to change, and this could only be done slowly.

A few days before New Year's Eve, You Shulian began to busy herself with shopping for New Year's goods and visiting relatives and friends. Occasionally, when she had some free time, she would cut fruits and run to Bai Yang's room. Sometimes, she would look at Bai Yang's laptop screen with great interest and ask, "Yang Yang, what kind of novel are you writing?"

"Horror novel."

"Then I dare not look at it." She said, "I heard from your father that it must have cost hundreds of thousands of words, right? How difficult it must be."

"That's not bad." Bai Yang said with a smile, "I just need to write a few thousand words every day."

"I remember when you were in primary school, you had a hard time writing an essay of several hundred words. It's really different now."

Then he bought a bunch of walnuts: "Eat more walnuts, it can nourish your brain."

"You think so much every day. If you don't replenish your hair, you will lose your hair at a young age."

It was rare for Bai Yang to feel his mother's meticulous doting after so many years, and he was totally unaccustomed to it.

On the other hand, You Shulian has been back for several days, but Bai Yang has not found an opportunity to confront his parents about their relationship.

In other words, it wasn't that he didn't have a chance, but it was due to some psychological reason that he himself was unwilling to admit.

Even though he knew it was fake, the happy scene of the family of three gave him the illusion that it would be good to stay this way forever.

It was only occasionally when he went out and came back standing at the door and heard the faint sounds of quarreling inside, or when he just walked in and saw two people who were originally sitting far away from each other pretending to be intimate because of him, Bai Yang realized that they were disgusted with each other and that his mentality was just selfish.

This is a marriage that can never be reconnected. The best outcome is to let go of each other and make a complete decision.

But in the end it was delayed until New Year's Eve.

At the very least, let’s spend the New Year in harmony.

The sounds of firecrackers and fireworks never stopped since early morning. You Shulian and Bai Dejun were busy in the kitchen, while Bai Yang was sitting in front of the steaming octagonal stove table, eating candied tangerines and playing with his mobile phone.

The reader group is very lively, but unfortunately QQ does not have the red envelope function yet, so everyone is just sharing their own New Year experiences.

Some are families gathered together for a reunion, some are staying alone in the city, worried that no restaurants are open and they have to eat instant noodles, and some are still on their way home, struggling in the crowds of the Spring Festival travel rush.

For Chinese people, this day is the most important day of the year after all.

Bai Yang looked at the smell of smoke coming from the kitchen and felt that he was very lucky.

So I sent a message to Zhong Xilu: "What are you doing?"

The king is not ringing the bell today: "I am sitting on the sofa bored, watching my brother build models."

"After you gave him a model airplane last time, he got totally hooked."

Bai Yang: “That’s really boring.”

The king did not ring the bell today: "Well, isn't that what New Year's Day is all about?"

"Waiting to eat, waiting to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and then staying up all night to receive New Year's greetings."

Bai Yang: "And I got red envelopes."

Da Wang is not ringing the bell today: "My brother is more interested in this. He said that he will buy a model with his New Year's money and build it. But I think he is a little optimistic. I guess except for the red envelopes given by my parents, all other relatives' red envelopes will be confiscated."

Bai Yang: "What about you?"

The king will not ring the bell today: "Hey, mine won't. It has never been confiscated since I was a child. I can save it myself."

Bai Yang: "Rich woman! I want lucky money too!"

The king did not ring the bell today: "Do you have any shame? You are a few months older than me, you should be the one giving me the red envelope."

Bai Yang: "How many months older?"

The king won't ring the bell today: "You're trying to trick me into giving you my birthday again, right? I won't tell you!"

After chatting for a while, Bai Yang received another message from Chun Yuwan.

My name is not Fish Ball! : "Bai Yang, the New Year is so boring."

Bai Yang: "That must be because you didn't ask me out before the New Year."

My name is not Yuwan! : "My mother won't let me. She said it's too far. It would be too much trouble for you to come to Xiangdong."

Bai Yang: "Can't you just say that I came to Xiangdong to play anyway and take you out by the way?"

My name is not Fishball! : "But I also think it's too much trouble for you."

Bai Yang: "The last thing friends need to worry about is bothering each other. Xiao Yuwan, you are not being a good friend."

My name is not Fishball! : "Oh."

"Then I won't do it next time."

She then sent another message: "Bai Yang, when will you come to Xiangdong after the Chinese New Year? Take me out to play." Bai Yang: "I guess I'll be paying New Year's greetings before the fifth day, maybe after the fifth day."

My name is not Fishball! : "Then I'll wait for you."

Bai Yang: "Please prepare your lucky money. You have to treat us when the time comes."

My name is not Fish Ball! : "Okay! Although my New Year's money may not be much, we can spend it together!"

Bai Yang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

The little fish balls are so cute.

We were chatting away and before we knew it, it was already evening.

According to the custom in the east, the main meal in the afternoon is not that rich. Instead, there will be a meal of meat on the chopping board around 9:00 p.m., which is a mixture of fish and meat. After the meal, people will start giving out red envelopes and stay up until midnight.

Then the next day, before dawn, people have to set off firecrackers to worship their ancestors and eat the first meal of the new year, which is naturally a very sumptuous meal.

The Spring Festival Gala was boring, and the family of three sat on the sofa and chatted.

"Let's go to Yang Yang's grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, and then go to his grandmother's house after lunch." You Shulian suggested.

Generally speaking, people do not go out to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year. The only exception is when the younger generation visits their parents' home.

"No need to go to the county town, my mother will spend the New Year with my brother this year." Bai Dejun replied casually, "It's a good opportunity for us to celebrate the New Year together."

"Your brother's child is in college, right? How much red envelope is appropriate?"

"Just keep it the same as before. When he gets married in two years, there will be no need to give out red envelopes anymore."

So You Shulian looked at Bai Yang and said, "The years have passed so quickly. It feels like Yang Yang has grown up in the blink of an eye. I'm afraid that he will bring his girlfriend back soon."

Bai Dejun immediately became interested and asked, "Bai Yang, you should be quite popular in school, right?"

Bai Yang was a little embarrassed and said, "It's OK."

"You didn't hide your premature love from us, did you?" Bai Dejun asked.

"Of course not."

"Why are you saying this?" You Shulian said dissatisfiedly, "His priority now is studying."

"Can't I just show some concern?" Bai Dejun rolled his eyes and sighed, "Come to think of it, when I attended the last parents' meeting, I was really impressed by the girl named Zhong in your class."

"Is he your deskmate?"

"Yeah, that's right." Bai Yang paused: "Why are you so impressed?"

"You can tell at first glance that she is a child raised by a wealthy family. She is well-educated and has a good temperament." Bai Dejun said with a smile: "I was thinking at the time, you would not fall in love too early with such a deskmate, would you? But then I thought, she is too beautiful. I guess even if you want to fall in love too early, it will be unrequited love."

poplar:"."

"How handsome can he be? My son is good-looking." You Shulian retorted: "Besides, he can make money. Even if there is unrequited love, it should be someone else's unrequited love. My son is more like that."

Bai Dejun shook his head: "If you saw it with your own eyes, you wouldn't think so. Let me put it this way, her mother sat next to me, and her aura was even stronger than that of our school principal. I don't know what big business she's in, but her family must have tens of millions of assets."

Bai Yang silently complained: Maybe I should add two or three more zeros.

"How much money they make has nothing to do with us." You Shulian didn't care: "We just need to live our own lives. There is no point in envying others every day."

"Besides, isn't it a crooked way for students to compete with their family background? Grades are the most important."

Bai Yang whispered, "Zhong Xilu has always been the top student in the grade. He will probably be admitted to Tsinghua University for sure."

You Shulian was stunned.

This hit her soft spot, so she reminded her: "Then you must learn from them."

"As for the rest, your dad's words are reasonable. You are still young, so don't think too much. When you get to college, your parents will definitely support you if you want to fall in love."

Bai Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, aren't you on my side? Why do you have so little confidence in me?"

You Shulian lowered her voice and said, "Don't you guys always describe that girl as so outstanding? She has a good family background, is pretty, and has good grades to get into Tsinghua University. Isn't that something that only exists in TV dramas?"

"It's not that exaggerated. You'll know next time you meet her." Bai Yang waved his hand: "She's just an ordinary girl with a good personality."

"Forget it then." You Shulian waved her hand: "It's so presumptuous to specially go and see him."

"It's not presumptuous." Bai Yang said casually, and just in time to mention: "She just said that she would come to our house to pay New Year's greetings after the New Year."

Bai Dejun was stunned for a moment: "Come to our house? To wish you a happy new year?"

"why?"

Bai Yang looked calm: "We are deskmates, and we have a pretty good relationship. It's normal for her to come and wish us a happy new year, right?"

"It's normal for classmates to come and hang out with you, but..." Bai Dejun hesitated for a moment: "When you say New Year's greetings, do you mean a formal meal at home, or just sitting down for a while?"

Bai Yang smiled and said, "They came all the way here, wouldn't it be rude not to treat them to a meal?"

"It's quite far. We are already in the countryside here, but people still come all the way from the city, so..." Bai Dejun hesitated to speak.

How could this be a normal classmate relationship? Even if they were deskmates, it would be impossible for them to come and pay New Year's greetings, right?
No, son, are you serious?
You Shulian had more to consider, and said, "Then we have to prepare some good dishes. Also, when people come, should we prepare red envelopes?"

"No relation." Bai Dejun said, "That's fine. Let's get ready. We'll see if they accept it or not."

As we chatted, it was already ten o'clock.

You Shulian stood up in a hurry: "The meat on the chopping block should be cooked!"

After serving the large piece of cured pork ribs on the table, You Shulian took out a red envelope and handed it over: "Yang Yang, this is your New Year's money."

"I have one too." Bai Dejun also took out a red envelope.

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment.

It’s been a long time since I received a red envelope.

Looking at the smiles on their faces, Bai Yang felt a little sore in the corners of his eyes for some reason.

He quickly took it over: "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom."

"You are making money now, but the sense of ceremony is still necessary." You Shulian picked the largest piece of cured pork ribs and put it in Bai Yang's bowl: "Eat!"

"When celebrating the New Year, you have to enjoy it happily! That way, the next year will be smooth sailing."
