Chapter 159 Little New Year
Chapter 159 Little New Year
Where do we spend the Little New Year?
The answer, of course, is to return to Lotus City.
I spent most of the holidays in Beijing this year and didn't have time to spend with my parents.
It's best to stay in your hometown for the Little New Year.
After all, I'll most likely be going to Beijing for the Spring Festival.
The first thing to do is to go to the Zhou family in the provincial capital and meet Zhou Minyi's parents.
Zhou Minyi is very busy with work, and she even has to work on the Lunar New Year's Eve.
At the entrance of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
"Oh dear, you'd better hurry, I took leave to come here."
"In that case, don't make me drink when we get to the provincial capital. If I do, I'll have to stay there."
Having attended the old man's birthday celebration, I should still pay a visit to him on the eve of the Lunar New Year, as it is a formal holiday.
The only advantage of having the whole family within the system is—
Time is of the essence!
We need to guard against fireworks and firecrackers, we also need to guard against thieves, and we need to carry out anti-fraud campaigns...
Happy Chinese New Year, Uncle and Aunt!
"Hey, come inside quickly, I'm making dumplings right now."
Zhou Fan was making tea.
"Let me do it, Uncle."
This isn't called being overly attentive; this is called having good taste.
I don't drink alcohol.
Four cold dishes.
Dumplings are the staple food.
The meal was fairly formal.
Although my future father-in-law's phone was on silent, I glanced at it a few times and saw that he kept receiving missed calls.
After finishing the meal.
Zhou Minyi couldn't resist any longer and wanted to spend more time with her parents and chat about everyday things.
I took her hand and said, "Why don't you two go ahead with your work, Uncle and Aunt? We can get back before dark."
Zhou Fan appreciates my understanding.
The official car parked in front of the Zhou family's house never stopped running, from the time we arrived until Zhou Minyi's parents finished their meal and left.
Yes, we still have time to eat dumplings.
The driver in the car probably hasn't eaten yet.
Everyone has their own hardships.
However, the job of driver for the deputy secretary of the Party Committee and executive deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department is something that many people would kill for.
"Oh, stop pouting. You still took the day off. Don't even mention your aunt and uncle. They had over a dozen missed calls during our meal. If we chat with you all afternoon, they'll be swamped after we leave."
Pulling Zhou Minyi, who was pouting and unwilling to leave,
We hurried back to Liancheng.
Hometown.
"Tianyi is back!"
"Did Auntie make dumplings?"
"It's ready to cook!"
I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental along the way.
The scene of my first trip home from Shanghai flashed through my mind.
Things are wrong.
I just got home.
"Tianyi!"
I looked up, and there stood Zhang Xiang, the second son of the Zhang family!
"Xiangzi, you're back so early this year?"
"Yeah, the construction site gives us an early holiday. How about a couple of drinks tonight?"
"Okay."
"Alright, I'll call Xiaomai!"
The Zhang brothers, who were involved in wheat farming, also took on some projects related to the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and their relationship seemed to be quite good.
back home.
My parents are making dumplings.
Make another call to Chen Sanjing and Liu Dabing. It's the end of the year, and everyone should get together when they return to their hometown.
Mealtime.
I'd barely taken a couple of bites of dumplings when Xiaomai showed up at my door carrying a case of liquor.
"Brother, Happy Chinese New Year!"
"Oh, so you can do this kind of thing."
Xiaomai scratched his head sheepishly: "This was a gift from the construction team downstairs. I think it's pretty good, so I specially saved a case for you."
"Okay, come inside. Have you had dumplings?"
"have eaten."
The wheat just came into the house.
"Wheat's here! Have you had dumplings yet?"
"Have a meal, Auntie. Happy New Year, Uncle and Auntie."
"Happy Chinese New Year. Please have a seat, I'll prepare some cold dishes for you."
"Oh, thank you for your trouble, ma'am."
It only takes about ten or twenty minutes.
The Zhang brothers also arrived with several cases of wine, and Liu Dabing and Chen Sanjing were also there.
Six people sat drinking and playing drinking games, making the Lunar New Year's Eve quite lively.
I took out my phone and took a picture of Dong Ling.
Dongling sent a photo via WeChat; it was of him eating dumplings with his aunt.
After thinking about it, I sent New Year's greetings to Sister Qiuyahong, Sun Xiaowei, Wang Yan's family, Sister Xiaotong, and Zheng Peipei.
Ugh.
Being an adult is exhausting.
You have to be thorough in everything you do.
Those who drink early leave early.
More than 9 o'clock in the evening.
Can't sleep.
Is Liu Chunqiu on summer vacation now that it's the Little New Year?
Are you asleep?
"without!"
Liu Chunqiu replied to WeChat messages instantly.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Chunqiu sent back a photo; it was taken in a rented apartment, with Liu Yiting across from him, and the two of them were eating hot pot.
"It's the Little New Year, let's eat some dumplings."
"Yes, I have some."
The photo shows frozen dumplings.
Chinese New Year is the hardest time for children who have neither a father nor a mother to love them.
"Wait for me!"
I brought a bag of dumplings that I had just made and frozen today from home.
Call Wheat.
"Come with me to the city."
Young girls are the most sensitive; give them affection when they need it, and money when they need it.
Then she's yours.
The moment I pushed open the door, carrying dumplings.
The little girl's tears streamed down her face.
See, that's just how sentimental I am.
I think both Xiaomai and Liu Yiting are serious about this.
He is responsible for his own feelings.
I am not the babysitter for wheat.
He doesn't care about Liu Yiting's past. What gossip could I possibly have? As long as the two of them are sure they're together and doing well, that's all that matters.
Take the little girl to see a movie, and then set off some fireworks.
A perfect day.
In the end, I still didn't go home for the Lunar New Year.
Instead, he went to Qiuya's house.
I just knocked on the door.
Qiuya ran to open the door.
"Mom, the boss is here."
Sister Hong came out of the house.
His voice was somewhat excited: "It's so late, you must be hungry."
I nodded: "Did you make dumplings?"
Sister Hong: "I have filling, I'll wrap it for you right away."
"Okay, a dozen or so will do."
Qiuya also busied herself with making arrangements.
The cold dishes are served.
Opening the bottle of red wine.
So, they were waiting for me too.
Cheers, Happy New Year!
The atmosphere tonight is great.
"Sister Hong, put on some music, let's dance."
"Why."
You ask me how deep my love for you is.
How much do I love you?
My feelings are true.
My love is also deep.
The moon represents my heart.
After finishing the red wine, we'll drink the white wine.
He swirled the wine glass.
Accompanied by music,
After Hongjie and I finished dancing, I pulled Qiuya to dance with me.
As they jumped around, everyone started laughing.
When they got tired of jumping, they sat down on the ground.
Cheers! Let's keep drinking!
We all need to get ourselves drunk.
.......
I woke up early and received a WeChat message from Xiaomai. She had driven downstairs and was waiting for me.
I carefully got out of bed and covered them with the blankets.
Of course I saw Sister Hong's trembling eyelids.
But I cannot make a sound.
go away.
In the car.
"Brother, Liu Yiting is pregnant."
I looked up abruptly, and saw that Xiaomai's face was flushed red.
"How long have you been together?"
Xiaomai was very honest with me: "It's been two months. The first time was after she quit her job at the HW mobile phone store. We've been together for the past two months."
Has she shared her thoughts with you?
Wheat: "She said to listen to me, this is her first child."
"Did you tell your aunt?"
"not yet."
"I can only remind you that once a child is born, you should give him a complete family."
"Understood."
Wheat's performance was truly unexpected.
After getting home, I tidied up a bit and pasted the couplets in advance.
Mom and Dad got on the bus with lots of bags and packages.
"Let's go to the capital for the New Year!"
