Logically speaking, boys should take the initiative to send greetings such as Happy New Year and Happy Holidays.

But Li Jingyi is different from other girls. She likes to feel in control and likes to be on top most of the time.

So Luo Fan didn't take the initiative to send a message, but kept waiting for Li Jingyi to send a message.

Tank: Happy New Year.

Rabbit: I heard from Mengmeng that your company is going to acquire the acg website?

Tank: Yes! Do you have any suggestions?

Rabbit: I can’t talk about suggestions, just a little opinion. I’m still in this circle.

If you want to acquire, I suggest you acquire mikufans.

Tank: Why mikufans?

Rabbit: Because there are some problems with the atmosphere of Station A, it is no longer as pure as it was at the beginning. Now many people have left Station A. Mikufans is still very small now, but some content creators from Station A have already followed.

.

This year's mikufans New Year's Eve Festival was very exciting and received rave reviews. This means that mikufans has great potential. With the current size of mikufans, it won't cost you much to win it.

Tank: That's right! Then I'll think about it carefully. After I win mikufans, I'm going to make some ACG games. Are you interested in helping me?

Rabbit:Help? How can I help?

Tank: Don’t you know how to draw? The game I’m publishing needs some very exquisite vertical paintings, and I want you to help me draw them.

Rabbit: That’s okay. Apart from traditional Chinese painting, what I’m best at is painting two-dimensional handsome guys and beauties.

Tank: Then I will contact you and tell you where you are now?

Rabbit: I'm at my grandparents' house.

Luo Fan saw Li Jingyi's reply and thought: "That's true."

Li Jingyi, like him, would go back to her grandparents' house every Chinese New Year.

Li Jingyi's grandparents live more than 100 kilometers away, and it takes about three hours to drive there.

Speaking of which, Li Jingyi’s hometown is quite famous. The Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu once wrote a poem related to her hometown:

It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road feel like they are dying.

When I asked where the restaurant was, the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.

Li Jingyi’s hometown is in Fenyang, where Fenjiu is produced.

Li Jingyi’s grandparents, uncles, aunts, uncles, a cousin, and a cousin all work in Fenjiu Factory.

Luo Fan remembered that Li Jingyi's remaining cousins, two cousins, and one cousin would all go to work at Fenjiu Factory in the future, but her cousin was admitted to a university in another province and later worked outside, instead of going to Fenjiu Factory.

Li Jingyi’s father used to work in Fenjiu Factory, and was later assigned by the factory to sell Fenjiu in Luofan City.

Then I met Li Jingyi's mother, the two fell in love and got married.

In the second year of their marriage, Li Jingyi's grandparents had reconciled their relationship and were planning to let Li Jingyi's mother go to work at the Fen Distillery, but Li Jingyi's grandfather was not willing.

Because Li Jingyi’s mother also studied traditional Chinese painting, she was about to join the Provincial Painting Association.

The two families discussed it, and finally Li Jingyi's mother did not go to work, and his father also came with Luo Fan to settle down.

Now Li Jingyi's mother works in the Provincial Children's Palace and opened her own painting training institution in the provincial capital. Li Jingyi's father later resigned and helped Li Jingyi's mother manage the training institution.

The couple only goes back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year.

Rabbit: What about you? Are you in the city?

Tank: No, I'm going back to my hometown.

Rabbit: Where is your hometown?

Tank: In a small town, our place is very interesting. Do you want to come?

Rabbit: Is the transportation convenient? Is there a train?

Tank: If you want to come, I can pick you up.

Rabbit: Then I'll go! Tomorrow won't work on the first day of the new year. I'll go back to the city with my mother on the second day of the new year. You can pick me up on the third day of the third day.

Tank: OK! Let’s meet on the third day of the new year.

...

On New Year's Day, Luo Fan and Luo Hai followed Luo Jianguo to the ancestral hall in the east end of the town.

This Luo family temple is said to have a history of more than 200 years. It was built when this tribe of people moved from Luliang.

Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Jianguo would lead them to burn a stick of incense for their ancestors and pray for peace and prosperity throughout the year.

Luo Fan didn't believe this in the past, but after experiencing a rebirth, Luo Fan's mentality changed somewhat.

He has never been so serious about lighting incense in the ancestral hall like this year.

After offering incense, Luo Jianguo and Luo Hai went back first, while Luo Fan walked around the town.

After his grandparents passed away in 2019, Luo Fan never returned to his hometown.

Compared with that time in 1919, the town now is obviously much more dilapidated.

There is no big square, no newly built government affairs hall, and the roads are full of potholes.

The only thing that remains the same as in 19 is probably the big locust tree.

This tree has stood at the entrance of the town for more than 200 years. It is said that the ancestors of this branch planted it when they came to this town.

This tree has grown so tall and strong now that it takes seven or eight adults to hold it.

It stands here, sending away generations of people in the town.

The next day, Luo Fan drove Luo Hai and Cao Hongying to their grandparents' house in the next county.

Luo Fan's grandfather is a retired cadre who worked as the deputy director of a chemical plant when he was young. Luo Fan's grandmother is a primary school mathematics teacher.

Luo Fan's mother is their youngest daughter. Luo Fan's uncle is 12 years older than his mother, and his second uncle is 9 years older. She has always been the most favored child in the family.

When Luo Hai first had an accident, Luo Fan's grandparents gave him all their savings of 230,000 yuan.

Luo Fan's uncle and second uncle each also sent 50,000 yuan.

Although Cao Hongying refused many times, they still kept the money, and Luo Fan's grandmother also helped take care of Luo Hai for more than two months, until Luo Hai was discharged from the hospital.

Luo Fan has always felt that he owed his grandparents and family.

Without their help, how could he finish college safely?

So when he went there this time, Luo Fan bought a lot of things. Although these things were nothing, they were still a part of his heart.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, most people go out. When Luo Fan's family passed by, Luo Fan's grandparents had already prepared a large table of dishes.

Luo Fan's eldest uncle and second uncle also went to the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so they must not be here.

The old couple were very happy to see Cao Hongying. Cao Hongying only showed a hint of willfulness in front of her parents, and her tone of voice became much softer.

After the family had dinner, Luo Fan's grandfather called him over and asked about his company.
