The investigation by the Yunshui Municipal Party Committee Secretary came to a successful conclusion. It has already entered the twelfth lunar month, and the street trees on both sides of the streets in Xiaohe Town are already covered with lanterns. The radio in the supermarket is playing "Celebrate the New Year, have a happy New Year..."
The entire town is filled with a festive atmosphere. It is obvious that there are more vehicles on the streets than usual, and migrant workers who have wandered away have returned home one after another.
Yes, the Chinese New Year is almost here. Towards the end of the new year, Jiang Xiangyang gradually became more relaxed. I am already pretty busy with the things I need to do on hand, and there are still some tasks that I can’t rush to do right now, so I can only wait until the Chinese New Year comes.
Time really flies by and so much has happened this year.
"Xiangyang, what are your family's arrangements for the Chinese New Year this year?" Over the weekend, Shen Yunfei and Jiang Xiangyang made an appointment to go to a movie together. After the meal, they discussed going to the mall to eat.
"We still have a house in our hometown, and we go back to our hometown every year to celebrate the New Year." Jiang Xiangyang held Shen Yunfei's hand and wandered aimlessly.
"Where's your family?"
"We should celebrate the New Year in Yunchuan County, and then visit relatives." Shen Yunfei was born and raised in the county, and most of his relatives live in the county.
Jiang Xiangyang felt a little headache at the thought of returning to his hometown for the New Year. Several brothers of Jiang Xiangyang's father are still in their hometown. In order to have fun during the New Year, they all get together to celebrate the New Year. This year it’s Jiang Xiangyang’s second uncle’s turn. The second uncle had called Jiang Xiangyang's father early and asked the children to go back to play early.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Jiang Xiangyang's father saw that the store had not had much business recently. After discussing with his two children, he closed the store and ended the business early. When Jiang Xiangyang and his sister were still on vacation, they asked their father to go back to their hometown to play for a few days, and then the two sisters would go back to reunite after the vacation.
For the Chinese New Year, Jiang Xiangyang has no expectations other than being able to take a break. When I was a child, I looked forward to the Chinese New Year, because during the Chinese New Year I could wear new clothes and eat delicious food. Originally a warm and happy family of four, after the death of his mother, Jiang Xiangyang had long lost his expectations for the Chinese New Year.
There is another reason why Jiang Xiangyang doesn't want to go home for the New Year. Jiang Xiangyang is considered an outlier among his peers in the eyes of his elders. Several cousins younger than him have already gotten married and had children. What Jiang Xiangyang hears most every year when he returns home is when to bring his boyfriend back.
Although Jiang Xiangyang also knew that the elders cared about him, he felt a little irritated after being asked too many times. When he got engaged before, his parents had a meal together. The other elders in the family had not seen the statement, but they all knew that he was engaged. Jiang Xiangyang thought that this year he would finally not be questioned, but it turned out that he was engaged. Something like that happened.
Although he and Shen Yunfei are now talking about being friends, they are not engaged, so it is not appropriate to take him back to his hometown. If people in the village knew that Jiang Xiangyang got engaged, broke off the engagement, and now found a boyfriend, who knows what rumors would spread?
I think I and what I said should be kept a secret for a while in my hometown.
Jiang Xiangyang walked into a women's clothing store, picked up a coat and put it on his body and said, "How do you like this dress?"
"Go and try it on." Shen Yunfei sat on the sofa consciously, waiting for his girlfriend to try on clothes.
"Okay. Then sit down obediently." Jiang Xiangyang turned and walked into the fitting room.
"Brother Yunfei, are you here too?" Shen Yunfei heard a voice of surprise. He raised his eyes and saw that it was Fang Limin and her mother Li Jing.
"Auntie, Limin, what a coincidence, you are also shopping here." Shen Yunfei asked politely.
"Yeah, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and Minmin is on holiday this weekend, so I'll accompany her to buy some sets of clothes." Yunshui County is not that big, with only a few famous shopping malls, so Li Jing was surprised to meet an acquaintance here. Not surprised.
what are you doing here? With your mother? "Li Jing's smile faded a bit when she thought that this was a women's clothing store.
"I..." Shen Yunfei thought of his mother's words. The last time his mother said at the dinner table that he had no girlfriend, if he said that he was shopping with his girlfriend now, wouldn't it be a slap in the mother's face. Shen Yunfei looked at the fitting room and whispered, "I'm shopping with a friend."
"Yunfei, how are you?" Jiang Xiangyang interrupted the three people who were talking.
Jiang Xiangyang got dressed and walked out of the fitting room, ready to ask Shen Yunfei to give advice. After coming out, he found Fang Limin standing next to Shen Yunfei, and a middle-aged woman who looked like Fang Limin's mother.
"Li Min, are you coming to go shopping too?" Jiang Xiangyang took the initiative to say hello.
"Minmin, do you know her?" Li Jing looked at her daughter and asked.
"It's a colleague from my work. Mom, let's go first so as not to disturb Brother Yunfei from shopping." When Fang Limin saw Shen Yunfei in the women's clothing store, she guessed that he was probably accompanying Jiang Xiangyang. Shen Yunfei said in front of his mother that he was spending time with friends, and Fang Limin didn't want to expose him and affect his image in her mother's mind.
"Why are you leaving so soon..." When Li Jing saw Jiang Xiangyang walking out, she understood what was going on.
"Oh, let's go. Let's talk about it when we get back." Fang Limin pulled her mother to leave.
"Goodbye, auntie!" Shen Yunfei said goodbye to Li Jing and her daughter.
"That's Fang Limin's mother?" Jiang Xiangyang looked at the two people in the distance and asked enviously, "Her mother is so young!"
"Really? I didn't pay attention to this. I only saw you. This dress suits you very well. Let's go, I'll go check out." Shen Yunfei knew that Jiang Xiangyang might be thinking of his mother, so he hugged his girlfriend's shoulders comfortingly. .
In the distance, Fang Limin and her daughter were still discussing what had just happened.
"Minmin, who was that woman in the store just now? Tell mom the truth, is she Shen Yunfei's girlfriend?" Li Jing looked at her daughter worriedly, worried that her daughter would see Shen Yunfei there. I feel uncomfortable going shopping with other women.
"Mom, Shen Yunfei does have a girlfriend, the girl just now, we work in the same office." Fang Limin replied nonchalantly.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that he had a girlfriend? Do they think our family is easy to bully? They want their son to go out on a blind date even if he has a girlfriend! No, I have to call your Aunt Shen..." Li Jing asked Shen from the Shen family Yunfei was very angry when he came out to have a blind date with his daughter.
"Mom, don't worry. This shouldn't be any of Aunt Shen's business. You saw it last time at dinner. Aunt Shen didn't even know that Shen Yunfei had a girlfriend. Besides, do you think she can compare to your daughter? ?”
Fang Limin did not regard Jiang Xiangyang as a rival at all, and her relationship with Shen Yunfei was only temporary. With Shen Yunfei's family background, it is impossible for Shen Yunfei to marry a woman like Jiang Xiangyang.
What's more, even God is helping me now. What he has to do now is how to slowly make Shen Yunfei be with him willingly.
