After the final exam, you will get the results.

Although Ge Dongxu is not a genius in his studies, he is a practitioner of Taoism after all, and he still has advantages that others do not have in his studies. Even though he spent a lot of time meditating, drawing talismans, practicing, etc., his final grade ranking was still much higher than when he was admitted to Changxi No. 1 Middle School.

In the class, his grades were about 16th, but this time he suddenly jumped to fifth place. This made the head teacher Li Haoran feel particularly surprised and specially called Ge Dongxu to the office for a good encouragement.

The first place is Ge Dongxu’s deskmate Du Yifan. He is very strong in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and his math is full marks. However, because of politics, English and Chinese, he has scored a lot, so he only ranked fifth in the year-round.

Cheng Lehao's grades rushed from the bottom of the class to the 32nd place, which made Cheng Yazhou and his wife so happy that they almost couldn't even close their mouths. That day, Xu Suya made a table and thanked Ge Dongxu solemnly.

...

After getting the report card, three shareholders of Yaxu Trademark Factory held a year-end meeting in the factory office. It was said that it was a year-end meeting, but in fact it was to distribute profits. Small factories like them did not have any good meeting reports to summarize or look forward to the future.

The profit was very generous. In just less than two months, the net profit was about 200,000 yuan after all expenses. Because the laser trademark is still relatively in short supply and is in a state of shortage of supply, there are few on credit. Even if there is credit, they will basically come back by the end of the year. So Ge Dongxu, the second largest shareholder, received a profit of 75,000 yuan at the end of the first year.

This profit made Ge Dongxu very happy. He thought that investing in laser trademarks was a very correct choice, which also showed that he did not read Cheng Yazhou wrongly at that time.

...

A few more days later, it was New Year's Eve.

Because Ge Dongxu's grandparents passed away early and only Ge Shengming was the only one, so during the Chinese New Year, Ge Dongxu's family was still relatively deserted, with only three people in the family.

However, because Ge Dongxu got a good grade in the final exam and had a lot of money back before, the whole family was in a particularly good mood, so although there were only three people, they were still happy and lively.

On the first day of the first lunar month, according to the customs of Changxi County, Ge Dongxu took the time to visit his master's cemetery and poured him a jar of flower carving wine.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the family went to some cousin's houses.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the family wore new clothes and brought gifts to Ge Dongxu's grandparents' house to pay New Year's greetings. This is the rule formed by the Xu family over the years. Every year on the third day of the first lunar month, two married daughters, older sons who work in the county, and second sons who do business in other places have to return to the third family in Xiyuan Town.

Ge Dongxu's third uncle Xu Zhe opened a small restaurant in Xiyuan Town. He had his reunion dinner every year at the Xu family restaurant he opened. This year was no exception, so Ge ​​Dongxu and his family went straight to the Xu family restaurant when they arrived in the town.

Even if the daughter gets married, she becomes a guest when she comes back every year. So when Ge Dongxu and his family arrive, their eldest uncle Xu Zheming and his second uncle Xu Zhebo and his grandparents are already in the Xu family restaurant. As for the third uncle Xu Zhe, there is no need to mention it.

He originally opened this restaurant.

However, the eldest aunt Xu Suying and her family have not arrived yet. Speaking of which, her family is in Xiyuan Town.

"Happy New Year of grandparents, I wish you a happy New Year!" As soon as Ge Dongxu arrived at the restaurant, he hurried to wish her grandparents a happy New Year.

Because grandparents died early and Ge Shengming's family was relatively poor, his grandparents felt particularly sorry for his nephew, so Ge ​​Dongxu had a special relationship with his grandparents since childhood.

"This Su Ying is really the water splashed by her married daughter. The family is just a short distance away from here, and it is the last one to arrive every year. It's better for me, my little nephew, to come from Baiyun Mountain to greet my grandparents early in the morning!" Grandpa and grandma first told their eldest daughter, then took Ge Dongxu's hand and praised him repeatedly.

"Can you not come early? Every year, you get the red envelopes back!" Aunt Liang Zhen muttered on the side, with a hint of disdain and dissatisfaction on her face.

It turned out that because my little daughter's family was relatively poor, Xu Suya and her family came to greet the old man every year. Although the old man received the red envelopes she gave on the surface, he gave more gifts when he returned the gift. He always gave more New Year's money to Ge Dongxu, the little nephew, in private, for fear of suffering.

My aunt Liang Zhen is a little sensible and always feels that the old man gives his own money to outsiders.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zheming hurriedly touched Liang Zhen with his elbow and whispered: "You can say less."

"That's it! You, as a son, give money to the elderly every year, but he is reluctant to use it, but he uses it for his daughter. What's the matter? Is it so easy for us to make money?" Xu Zheming didn't speak, but Liang Zhen became angry when he opened his mouth.

This time, Liang Zhen's voice was a bit loud, and everyone in the family heard it. The two old men lowered their faces on the spot, but they didn't say anything, but pretended not to hear it. On the one hand, because Liang Zhen was telling the truth, the old man was indeed unfair in this regard. On the other hand, Liang Zhen's family was well-off, and her father used to be a small cadre in the county town. When she married the Xu family, the Xu family was the one who beat her up, so the two old men often had to give in to this eldest daughter-in-law.

"It's all a family, why do you care so much?" The uncle was a little embarrassed when he saw Liang Zhen say this, and he said angrily.

"Brothers have to settle the score clearly. Where did I say this wrong?" Liang Zhen said without giving in.

"Mom, it's the New Year, can you say less?" Ge Dongxu's cousin Xu Jirong took Liang Zhen's hand with an embarrassed look on his face and said.

"Haha, Jirong is right. During the Chinese New Year, the most important thing for family harmony is to say less, and say less!" Xu Zhe is the host of his wife and is usually close to Ge Dongxu's family. Seeing this, he hurried out to smooth things over with a smile.

"Hmph, there's nothing at all? I just nag a few words, just like your elder brother, it seems like I bullied his sister." Liang Zhen said.

In fact, this kind of thing has to be performed more or less every year, so Ge ​​Dongxu has no good feelings for this aunt. However, due to his uncle's face, he did not have an attack on the spot. Ge Shengming and his wife also wanted to take care of their elder brother's face. In addition, not only did they not be able to pay much money to the elderly in the past few years, but the elderly felt sorry for them and subsidized them. For example, Ge Shengming opened a farmhouse, and the elderly specially sponsored a deal. Therefore, Liang Zhen's words were not aimless, and they could only be said to be too careless, so the two did not stand up and compete with Liang Zhen, but just looked at each other, and then Xu Suya walked to the elderly and handed a thick red envelope and said, "Dad, mom, you have helped us all these years, and Shengming and I have not fulfilled our obligation to support us. The family is in good condition this year. Please collect this red envelope, don't give us any gifts."
