The atmosphere of preparing for the New Year has changed to a state of rest. Except for the occasional laughter of children and firecrackers, this New Year is considered to be over.
Others can continue to rest, but not Ye Haoran. There is no such thing as rest in the work of the security department.
Even during the New Year period, there are a lot of trivial things, including fights in the street, quarrels between neighbors, coal or cabbage thrown at home, and so on.
Although he needs to go to work, what Ye Haoran does every day has not changed much. He still reads and drinks tea, but the place is changed from home to work.
The steel rolling mill was not in operation, and the factory area was quiet. Only some noises could be heard from the rest room of the security department. A few people got together to play cards, and no one knew who took it.
For the sake of the Chinese New Year, Ye Haoran turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it. Anyway, he wouldn't be disturbed.

The door of the office was pushed open. Ye Haoran put down the book in his hand and looked up, and found that it was Qin Huairu who came in.
The net bag in his hand also contained a lunch box.
The canteen of the steel rolling mill is not open, so those who work in the security department need to bring their own meals. In order to make Ye Haoran eat something hot, Qin Huairu cooked it at home and delivered it to him.
After Qin Huairu came in, she put the lunch box on the desk and handed over an envelope with her other hand: "Here, the mail room asked me to bring it over. Who wrote this letter to you? It can't be a love letter."
Ye Haoran took it with a smile and put it in the drawer without any intention of looking at it.
Although Qin Huairu has no education, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know a word.
"It's nothing. I met a friend when I was on a business trip. I occasionally exchange letters, which means I would like to exchange work-related matters with you."
After putting the letter away, he picked up the lunch box in front of him and opened it. It contained dumplings filled with pure meat. Who dares to say that eating pure meat dumplings at home is simply too luxurious.
But Ye Haoran could afford it.
I bought a lot of meat myself a few years ago, and the boss also sent some to me, and the management of the steel rolling mill also shared some of it. I really couldn't finish it without eating hard.
"By the way, has your sister gone back?"
Qin Huairu poured the garlic sauce out of the small jar and placed it in front of Ye Haoran. Then she sat on the chair and watched Ye Haoran eat.
Hearing Ye Haoran mention Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu rolled her eyes: "Why, I can't bear to do it. I can't bear to let you propose marriage."
"Ahem!" Ye Haoran laughed dryly: "What's the point of being reluctant? I'm afraid it will be hard for you to take care of the family alone. With Jingru's help, you will be much more relaxed."
Although he knew that what Ye Haoran said was not necessarily true, Qin Huairu still felt very comfortable hearing it.
"It's nothing hard. She has to work in the fields to earn work points at home, so why not help me here? I can do without her, but I'm afraid some people won't let her go."
Ye Haoran pretended not to hear the strange words and ate the dumplings with a mouth full of flavor.
My sister-in-law has all the dumplings, so it doesn’t matter if she says a few words.
Seeing that Ye Haoran didn't answer, Qin Huairu could only speak first: "I don't know what you think, and I can't control it. When I come to work, I will ask Jingru to help me take care of the children at home, and the rest will be done It’s up to you, son.”
Ye Haoran just nodded and did not say what he thought.
Marriage is a way to perpetuate relationships and a standard for maintaining the entire social system, but some people are not within this rule.
A box of dumplings was quickly destroyed by Ye Haoran. Qin Huairu had just stood up to pack the lunch box when the office door was pushed open suddenly.
Fortunately, Ye Haoran and Qin Huairu did not do anything excessive, otherwise it would have been tragic.
Erdanzi rushed into Ye Haoran's office and found that there was a woman in the room. After a closer look, he found that this person looked familiar.
But for a moment I didn't remember who it was.
After being stunned, Ye Haoran scolded: "There are no rules at all. Didn't you know how to knock on the door before coming in?"
"Hey, I'm sorry, Brother Ye. I didn't know you had guests here. How about I come in again?"
"If you have something to say, why do you talk so much nonsense?"
After finishing his meal, Ye Haoran rinsed his mouth, picked up a cigarette and held it in his mouth.
After being scolded, Erdanzi smiled playfully and took a cigarette from his desk and started smoking along with him.
He took two puffs of smoke before getting down to business.
"Brother Ye, everything has been arranged. We also have a holiday there during the Chinese New Year. The management is not very strict. I have already said hello with the letter of introduction you opened. I can leave at any time. This is the customs certificate that has been issued. "
A small red book was placed on the desk. Ye Haoran picked it up and looked at it casually before nodding.
"Okay, just wait for my news."
Just as Erdanzi was about to leave, Ye Haoran continued: "By the way, it's about to go to work, so let everyone calm down."
"Come on, don't worry, Brother Ye, I'll let them collect the cards when I get back."
After Erdanzi left, Qin Huairu picked up the small red book on the table and asked doubtfully: "What is this? Why is there still a certificate?"
The cigarette in Ye Haoran's hand had just burned out, so he put out the cigarette butt and said casually: "This is the certificate for leaving the customs. It's for someone else. After you finish packing, go back first. If you have nothing to do in the evening, come find me. I have something private. I need to talk to you about something.”
Qin Huairu's attention immediately left the little red book. She had no idea what Ye Haoran had in mind. However, Qin Huairu, who had not been active for a long time, felt a little itchy in her heart, so she did not refute Ye Haoran's words.
Yu Haitang and Qin Jingru are not here, so there are not many opportunities like this.
With a blush on his face, he twisted his waist, picked up his lunch box, and left the steel rolling mill.
After Qin Huairu left, Ye Haoran took out the letter from the drawer and read it.
The letter sent by Zhou Rong did not talk about any ambiguous topics this time. Instead, it talked about the situation in the school. The ideological trend was fermenting and had a tendency to spread outside the school.
The two had discussed these issues before. Ye Haoran told Zhou Rong not to participate in any activities. Zhou Rong did not obey Ye Haoran's opinions, but she still adopted this advice.
At the end of the letter, Zhou Rong asked Ye Haoran when he would have time to visit her. This was the first time Zhou Rong invited him, but Ye Haoran really didn't have time.
In addition to the things in the factory, there are other things waiting for him to deal with, and I'm afraid he won't be able to go there for a while.
After lunch, Ye Haoran took a short break, put on his coat, and left the office carrying the gifts he had prepared.
Before leaving, I didn’t forget to put the little red book in my pocket.
...
"Oh, Section Chief Ye got off work early today."
Before they even left the gate, Ma Sanxiao ran out to say hello.
Ye Haoran waved while riding his bicycle: "I have something to go out for. If there is anything urgent, go find Erdanzi and let him handle it. I'll leave first!"
"Hey, that's good!"
Ma Sanxiao watched Ye Haoran's back until it disappeared, then returned to the mail room and continued to idle.
He won't be able to work as a janitor for long, and he will be transferred from this position when work resumes. Thanks to Ye Haoran's help, he will always remember this kindness in his heart.
After leaving the steel rolling mill, Ye Haoran walked slowly on his bicycle.
It can't be faster, there is still a lot of snow on the road, so it would be nice to be able to ride.
After riding for a long time, with a lot more effort than before, we finally arrived at our destination.
He stood at the door and glanced twice, then raised his legs and walked inside.
I haven’t been here for a long time, so I took the gifts off my bike and walked straight in.
'Ding dong~ding dong~'
This is Lou Bancheng's home, otherwise he wouldn't be able to install a doorbell.
'Click'
The door lock was unlocked, and Lou Bancheng's lover appeared behind the door. He was stunned when he saw Ye Haoran, but after reacting, he immediately enthusiastically invited Ye Haoran in.
"Old Lou, it's Xiaoye here, come out quickly!"
Upon hearing his wife's greeting, Lou Bancheng walked out of the back room.
When he saw Ye Haoran, Lou Bancheng's expression was very calm, and the two men maintained a tacit understanding.
Ye Haoran nodded, placed the gift on the ground next to the door, walked to the living room, and sat across from Lou Bancheng.
Just as he was about to get down to business, a surprised voice came from behind.
"Haoran! You're here!"
Lou Xiao'e ran over happily and directly interrupted the conversation between the two men that had not yet started.
Ye Haoran smiled and nodded with gentleness in his eyes: "Well, happy New Year."
"Happy New Year to you too, I thought you wouldn't come to see me for two days."
The surprise when seeing Ye Haoran gradually turned into grievance after talking. The contact between the two has become less and less. At first, she made no secret of her love for Ye Haoran. Later, she tried to find Ye Haoran several times, but was rejected. My parents used various excuses to stop me.
She didn't notice it at first, maybe because the reflex arc was a bit long, but later she found out that her parents were preventing her from contacting Ye Haoran.
Later, she heard that Yu Haitang was already in a relationship with Ye Haoran, and she never took the initiative to find Ye Haoran since then.
But when she saw Ye Haoran again, she couldn't help but feel moved.
Especially after seeing that Ye Haoran was wearing a coat that he personally selected, he felt even more happy.
Ye Haoran saw the grievance in Lou Xiao'e's heart, smiled and comforted: "How could it be? If it weren't for too many things, I would have come here so early. I also brought you something and left it at the door. You can see it later. "
"Okay!" When Lou Xiao'e heard that Ye Haoran gave her something, her grievances were instantly wiped away, and she clapped her hands happily.
"Haoran, sit down and I'll make tea for you. Someone gave my dad a can of good tea for you to try."
Lou Zhenhua shook his head with a wry smile. He could not bear to drink the tea, but his daughter gave it away so generously.
After Lou Xiao'e got up to boil water, Lou Zhenhua said a little disappointed: "Xiaoye, I can see that the moth's heart is only for you. It's because I, as a father, don't have the ability to have a good marriage to this point."
Of course Ye Haoran also knew in his heart that if it weren't for the situation, the two of them might really become Weng's son-in-law.
With the money in Lou Zhenhua's hands and the power in Ye Haoran's hands, there is a lot to be done even in Sijiu City, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time.
"Uncle Lou, they say you have the final say in your own destiny. How many people can really control your own destiny?"
"Alas~"
Within a few words, Lou Xiao'e came over with the brewed tea and offered it to Ye Haoran. As for Lou Zhenhua, he could only do it himself.
"Haoran, are you hot? Let me help you hang up your clothes."
After saying that, he started to help Ye Haoran take off his coat. Ye Haoran wanted to say a few words and leave, but now it seems that he may not be able to leave.
"Haoran, eat fruit..."
"Haoran, let's drink tea..."
"Haoran, do you smoke? I'll light it up for you..."
Ye Haoran sat on the sofa like an old man. No matter what he wanted or what he didn't want, Lou Xiaoe brought them all.
Lou Zhenhua looked jealous.
Seeing that Ye Haoran was about to be unable to resist, Lou Zhenhua took the initiative to help out: "Mozhi, please calm down for a while, Xiaoye and I still have something to discuss."
After saying that, he stood up and took Ye Haoran to the study.
"Dad, please hurry up. After we finish chatting later, ask Haoran what he wants to eat. I happen to be eating at home in the evening."
"Okay, okay, you have the final say."
Lou Zhenhua said a few words helplessly, and pulled Ye Haoran to the study.
When the door was closed, Ye Haoran took out a small red book and handed it to Lou Zhenhua who came over.
"Uncle Lou, this is your exit permit. You will use this to exit the customs in a few days. When you get there, you can become a rich man who is idle and come back when the limelight is over."
"Xiaoye! How can I thank you?"
Lou Zhenhua felt a little guilty when facing Ye Haoran. He also knew that Ye Haoran was helping him for the sake of Lou Xiao'e, and also gave up the opportunity to be with Lou Xiao'e in order to allow their family of three to live together.
Ye Haoran smiled and continued: "Uncle Lou, you can't take antique calligraphy and paintings with you. You can take away tax deeds, but you must keep them well so that they can be used in the future. Bring as much gold as possible, it will be easier to exchange. "
Ye Haoran knew exactly what Lou Zhenhua had prepared, and it was Lou Zhenhua who took the initiative to tell Ye Haoran.
To repay someone with a peach, Lou Zhenhua did not never come back once he left. What the Chinese people pay attention to is that a fallen leaf returns to its roots.
After listening to Ye Haoran's instructions, Lou Zhenhua sighed again.
"By the way, I heard it's not very safe over there. Try to keep a low profile after Uncle Lou goes there. Just survive this period. I'll figure out the rest."
Lou Zhenhua held the little red book and nodded: "Xiaoye, it's Uncle Lou who can't help you. If it weren't for these reasons, Uncle Lou would definitely not stand in the way of you and Mozi, but now... alas! I just want to wait for me. She won’t blame me after taking the moth away.”
"I believe Lou Xiao'e can understand your good intentions."
Ye Haoran just comforted the elderly man and said nothing more.
Lou Zhenhua said slowly: "I'm afraid we will lose contact in a few years after we leave. Why don't you stay for a meal today and talk to the moth more, in case we never see each other again..."
"OK!"
Ye Haoran said the word "OK" and said nothing more. Since the matter has been decided, he will not be as sentimental as Lou Zhenhua.
'Kangdang'
Just as the two men were sitting silently facing each other, the study door was violently pushed open.
Lou Xiao'e's figure appeared at the door.
With an angry expression, but tears in his eyes.
"Dad, where are you taking me and why are you leaving!"
