Chapter 864: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
As night fell, the entire capital was completely shrouded in darkness.
The streets are deserted, all the shops are closed and the lights are black, and people who have been busy for a year have returned to their homes to reunite with their families, enjoy the joy of family, and enjoy the warmth and affection of family.
"Bang!"
In the distance, a fireworks and firecracker setting off point suddenly rose into a fireworks, and exploded in the air dozens of meters high, blooming the most beautiful flowers.
Immediately afterwards, a series of gorgeous ceremonial flowers continue to rise, blooming in the night sky one by one, bursting with dazzling light, dressing the whole sky in a colorful and charming way.
At the same time as the fireworks are bursting, the sound of firecrackers is also constantly coming, which is endless, very lively!
In the blink of an eye, this dark and deep night sky is already a fire tree and silver flowers!
It's still cold, but there's a lot of enthusiasm in people's hearts.
Like all other places in the capital, Lishi Hutong is lit up with red lanterns hanging high at the entrance of each courtyard and brand-new, auspicious couplets posted on both sides of the gates.
Even the street trees on the side of the road are dressed in red and green, and they have been dressed in new clothes.
At this time, walking in this ancient alley, you can hear bursts of laughter and laughter coming from the courtyards next to you, and each voice is full of endless joy and happiness.
This is the Spring Festival, this is the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Chinese the most important festival and the most important day of the year is the day for family reunions, the day for enjoying family affection, and the day for saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new!
The middle section of Lishi Hutong, the courtyard of grandpa's house.
The small courtyard is brightly lit and full of laughter, and the smell of happiness fills the air, which is very rich and intoxicating.
Linlin, Dongzi, and Chenxi, the three little ones are laughing and playing in the yard, having a lot of fun.
Grandma, mother, second aunt, and sister-in-law are busy in the kitchen, chatting with their eyebrows fluttering, while preparing the most important dish of the evening, thirty dumplings!
Betty is also in the kitchen, standing next to her mother and learning to make dumplings.
After some careful guidance from her mother, she can now wrap the filling with a small dumpling wrapper, so that it will not fall apart and become a piece of soup!
Of course, the shape of the dumplings in her hands is really a bit miserable.
But for Betty, this is already a huge improvement, which makes her very proud, and she enjoys it, learning little by little, and making little progress!
Ye Tian originally wanted to get involved, but he was directly blasted out by his mother, mainly because he was in the way.
Unlike previous years, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was more relaxed.
In addition to the most important dumplings, the rest of the food Ye Tian has already been decided, it is the most famous official cuisine in the capital, the top food, the Tan family cuisine!
In this way, the mother and they don't have to be too busy, they can rest after making dumplings, and just wait to enjoy the food with peace of mind.
Grandpa and Dad are sitting in the living room chatting at this time, chatting about the gains and losses of the past year, looking forward to the upcoming New Year, and wishing for a better life in the coming year!
After coming out of the kitchen and teasing the younger brothers and sisters in the yard, Ye Tian immediately walked into the living room, found a place to sit down, and began to chat with a few adults.
As soon as he sat down, his grandfather asked:
"Xiaotian, what about those foreigner bodyguards? Why didn't you see them? Or let them come over and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us, it's not appropriate to throw people in the hotel for the New Year!"
"Don't worry about them, grandpa, I've arranged everything, they're nearby, two courtyards next to them, two courtyards opposite, and stay with those Chinese security personnel.
I have already ordered a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for them, both Chinese and Western, and of course, there are also dumplings that are indispensable for tonight, they just eat over there, no need to come!"
Ye Tian chuckled and explained a few words, and the arrangement was very thoughtful.
The courtyard of Uncle Fan's house next to it, as well as the courtyard house of Grandpa Liu's house opposite the door, have all changed owners at this time, and all of them have become Ye Tian's private property.
However, in order to hide people's eyes, these two courtyard houses did not fall directly under Ye Tian's name, Uncle Fan's courtyard fell under the name of his mother, and Grandpa Liu's courtyard fell under the name of his second aunt.
Although my mother and second aunt have lived in Lishi Hutong for a long time, and the people in the alley basically know each other, they are not surnamed Ye after all, so they can still confuse people's ears and eyes to some extent.
The sales contract of the two quadrangle houses has been signed, but the real estate certificate has not had time to change, and after the next year, go to work to complete the real estate certificate and settle the final payment, these two courtyard houses belong to Ye Tian completely.
In addition, the security systems of several residences such as the courtyard of the grandfather's house, Ye Tian's own house, the second uncle's house, and the sister-in-law's house have also been installed, and quickly passed the acceptance and put into use.
The reason why the speed is so fast is, of course, because of the role of money.
Stimulated by Ye Tian's generous reward, the security company and all the construction personnel who undertook the project burst out with 120,000 enthusiasm for work and completed the security transformation project at the fastest speed.
After Ye Tian's acceptance and confirmation that there were no problems, the security systems of these residences were immediately put into use and began to play a role to provide protection for the family.
The eight Chinese security personnel who were personally selected by Ye Tian and interviewed were also officially put into work this morning, guarding the courtyard of his grandfather's house in the dark.
At this time, they stayed in the two courtyards opposite and next to them, and together with Raymond and them, they performed their duties through surveillance video.
For these newly hired security personnel, Ye Tian not only gave them the most generous salary in the industry, but also gave a promise.
If they continue to serve for more than two years without any problems, their salary will be doubled from the current level, and there will be a large reward.
Two years later, they don't have to stay here, they can leave the security company, directly join the Brave Intrepid Exploration Company, and become an employee of Ye Tian's subordinates.
At that time, their salary will be on a higher level, and they can follow Ye Tian and explore the ruins and treasures all over the world as a brave and fearless exploration company's employees!
Every man has adventure genes in his bones and a treasure hunt dream! These security guards are no exception.
After listening to Ye Tian's conditions and promises, these guys were all excited, and they couldn't wait to start their treasure hunting career immediately and become a Treasure Raider!
When signing the employment contract, these guys patted their chests one by one and swore that in the next two years, they would do their jobs dutifully and protect Ye Tian's family.
Of course, Ye Tian also bluntly warned these security personnel in private.
Once their families are harmed, what kind of punishment they will face is not as simple as financial loss.
In particular, he emphasized that if someone steals from himself, takes advantage of his work, violates the interests of his family, or even harms his own family, he will definitely face extremely fierce retaliation!
As for what the content of the revenge was, he did not say explicitly.
However, everyone of these security personnel who was interviewed by him knew very well in their hearts that it must be the result of death without a place to be buried, and it was very likely to implicate their own families, and no one could bear it!
In view of Ye Tian's usual style of being ruthless and retributive, these security personnel all thought carefully before signing the contract before signing their respective names.
In addition to these, the purchase of the mansion gate at No. 129 Lishi Hutong is also a bit eyebrow-raising.
According to lawyer Tian Huafeng, who was in charge of contacting the other party, the attitude of the department leader who managed the door of the mansion had loosened his attitude, and a meeting was held within the unit to discuss this matter!
Now I will wait for the next year to go to work, continue to contact each other, continue to do work, I believe that as long as the price is in place, it is still possible to win the door of the mansion.
And the most important thing in Ye Tian's pocket is money, as much as he wants!
Not to mention the deposits in personal bank accounts, the vast collection of top-quality antiques, gold and silver treasures kept in New York's major vaults, and the treasure of shipwrecks that have been salvaged from the Caribbean.
The proceeds from the top-notch Chinese antiques he brought back to China to be auctioned at a private auction on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year alone were enough to cover all the costs, and he was rich.
The reserve price he set for those antique works of art was already as high as four or five billion yuan! When the auction began, the total price of more than one billion yuan was auctioned, and there was almost no doubt.
And this auction money, he plans to stay all in China, in addition to buying a house and land, it can also be used for other investments, as well as for his family.
This is all an afterthought, don't think about it for the time being, the most important thing in front of you is to enjoy this beautiful Chinese New Year's Eve and enjoy the warm family affection!
Hearing the arrangement made by Ye Tian, Grandpa immediately nodded approvingly and said:
"The arrangement is good, and it also lets those foreigners feel the Chinese New Year!"
As soon as Grandpa's voice fell, the second uncle immediately interjected:
"Xiaotian, isn't it inappropriate for the courtyard house opposite to be placed under your second aunt's name? That's a house worth tens of millions, your kid's heart is really big! I hear a little liver tremor!"
Second uncle, you also know that there are a lot of people staring at me, plus this is Lishi Hutong, and there are even more eyes around me
The second aunt is different, after all, she is not surnamed Ye, and she can play a role in covering people's ears and eyes, so I thought of this trick and put the courtyard under the name of the second aunt.
Besides, hasn't Linlin grown up! If she behaves well, I probably won't have to take back that courtyard, and I should give this girl a dowry prepared in advance!"
Ye Tian explained the reason, his demeanor was very relaxed, and he didn't pay attention to the courtyard house worth tens of millions of yuan at the other door.
"Ho——! a house worth tens of millions as a dowry, you kid is really willing to do it!"
The second uncle exclaimed directly, his eyes were full of joy, and he couldn't hide it at all!
