"Happy New Year, brother."
"Well, Brother Wang, happy New Year!"
"Aren't you up yet?"
"No. The Chamber of Commerce held a banquet yesterday and drank too much."
"Oh, when will you come back? Someone in Xizhou is thinking about you."
"Ah, who is it?"
"My sister, Bei Xi Feng! Oh, just stir people up and leave it alone."
"Oh, no, no, how dare I."
"She, oh, are you all okay?"
"Okay, everything is okay. I was visiting relatives at Uncle Xi's house yesterday, and she kept asking for news about you. It's not like she didn't have your phone number, and she asked me. I guess it's because girls are shy, and you are too. You don't know how to call people. It’s been more than ten days.”
"I'm busy, brother, I'll call later. What's her phone number?"
"Remember, 139..."
"Wait a minute, brother, I'm going to find paper and pen." Yang Liufang rummaged around the room and found nothing, so he opened the door and went to the living room to look for it. Junior sister and Li Tongfu were watching TV in the living room.
"139... Just tell me, brother. 0094..."
"Agu, who is it?"
"Director Wang of the TV station, who is asking blindly?" Yang Liufang said angrily.
"Tch, I mean who's the phone number is?" Upon hearing this, Yang Liufang ignored her and picked up the piece of paper with the phone number on it and went into the room.
"1390094... I wrote it all down and said, who is it? If you don't tell me, I will call back and ask."
"No, no." Yang Liufang hurried back as the door was still open. "A friend, a reporter from the provincial TV station."
"Male or female?" Junior Sister asked curiously.
"Mr..." Junior sister reached out and grabbed the phone next to the sofa. "Female, female, female, okay, my little aunt."
"Your future sister-in-law, you know," Li Tongfu said while cracking melon seeds.
"Agu, don't talk nonsense."
"real."
"What sister-in-law? Whose sister-in-law?" Mother and mistress rushed out of the kitchen to ask. The elderly are extremely sensitive to such things during the Chinese New Year. Every time they eat, the four elderly people will nag about the life-long events of Li Tongfu and Yang Liufang. topic.
"Mom, Mistress, no one, they are just talking nonsense."
"Godmother, Auntie, I'm not talking nonsense." Li Tongfu stood up after eating melon seeds, and the two old men quickly came to hold his hands. "My son, come and tell us what's going on?"
"Brother Afu, tell me, and I'll listen too." Junior sister put down the melon seeds and jumped up from the sofa.
When Yang Liufang saw this posture, he knew that he would inevitably be questioned, and he didn't know where to start. He turned back to the bedroom, closed the door, and leaned against the door to listen to Li Tongfu's embellished talk about him and Northwest Feng.
The two old men listened and asked questions. Yang Liufang was tired from standing, so he went back to bed and lay down, unconsciously dialing Northwest Feng's number.
"you......"
"You..." The two spoke at the same time again.
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
"Is everything okay at home?"
"Yes, how about you?"
"all good."
"When are you coming back?"
"Not decided yet. I..."
"Sister-in-law, my mother wants you to come back for the New Year." Junior sister shouted loudly outside the door. Yang Liufang quickly hung up the phone, but he was sure that the other party heard it. He hurriedly opened the door and saw Junior Sister and Ah Fu outside the door, as well as four old people.
Yang Liufang held the phone in one hand and the piece of paper in the other. With his hands spread out, Junior Sister and Ah Fu each held an arm and pushed him to the sofa in the living room. Yang Liufang sat down and listened to the questions from his parents and his master and his wife.
"I heard Ah Fu say that he is beautiful and that he comes from a high-ranking family. Is this true?"
"That's right." Yang Liufang replied with a red face.
"Then your family doesn't look down on you, right?"
"Hey, what happened to the family of a senior cadre? I am also a cadre, the propaganda director of the college."
"You go to one side, you're just a kid, why do adults get in the way?" Master scolded Liu Xia.
"Why didn't you bring anyone back to celebrate the New Year?" Yang's father asked.
"Abba, we have just known each other for more than two months, okay."
"Does the other party like you?" asked the teacher's wife.
"Mom, I must like it. My brother is so handsome and rich."
"Go, go ahead, don't talk too much." The master's wife reprimanded the junior sister dotingly, pretending to hit her.
The family sat together and asked Xixi Feng how tall he was, how much he weighed, his work situation, etc. Even though Ah Fu had already given a general idea, the four old men and the junior sister still asked all the questions, except for the waist, chest and hip circumferences. As a result, the four old people were very satisfied. The woman's family was in good condition, she was knowledgeable, and her job as a reporter for a provincial TV station was quite impressive. They did not dislike him, a homeless man who graduated from junior high school and his family was poor, and they gave him many instructions to be nice to other girls.
The old people understood the situation and began to drive the two of them back to Xizhou in the afternoon. They said that they had just met and should go to their home to pay New Year greetings to the elderly. Father Yang and Master both took out their own collections of tea and fine wine and asked them to take them back. The two mothers also went to Wenzhou City to prepare gifts for them. It was Li Tongfu who tried to dissuade them, saying that they would drive to Hangzhou, the provincial capital, to buy more. There were many things there and they were popular, so everyone gave up.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the two started the car and drove towards Xizhou. During the day, there were many yellow vans along the way, as well as a small number of red vans, and there were also cars, but they seemed to be much less common. Their car couldn't run at all, because it was uncomfortable to sit for a long time. They didn't even turn on the heater, so they wouldn't get sleepy easily. There was no car on the road at night so no one could drive faster.
While they were on the phone, Yang Liufang also called Northwest Feng. Since his brother was here, it was all normal communication. Those words of love and longing were embarrassing to say, but both parties on the phone could understand each other's thoughts. . In this way, the journey was fast and slow, and we did not arrive in Xizhou until late at night on the tenth day of the first lunar month. On that day, both of them checked into the suite on the Yangliu side of Wolongshan Hotel. The next day, Li Tongfu got up early and went back to the tannery. When he left, he called Zhang Feng and asked Zhang Feng to drive the factory's car back for his own use. He left Yang Liufang's car with Zhang Feng and asked him to wash it. , the seat covers were replaced with new ones.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Liufang's doorbell rang, and he went to open the door in his pajamas. As soon as the door opened, Northwest Feng, who was wearing a khaki windbreaker with a white sweater, jeans and high boots, immediately jumped into his arms and hung on his body. Yang Liufang turned around and closed the door with his back. The two kissed passionately, as if they wanted to melt each other, and then fell on the bed, conveying their longing for the past few days to each other with affectionate kisses...
At noon, the two got up, washed up, and went to the restaurant to eat. At this moment, Northwest Feng no longer had the fierceness of a provincial and Taiwanese reporter, but was like a gentle little woman, holding Yang Liufang's arm with both hands, resting her head on the shoulder of her beloved man, and walked downstairs in a casual manner. In the hotel's Western restaurant, the second People ate steak. Mr. Wang of the Wolongshan Hotel saw them. Of course he gave his blessing to the talented woman and his good friend who were so happy, and even asked the restaurant to give them a free meal. Li Tongfu has returned to the group company to take charge of the work. Of course he can rest assured. During the past few days during the Chinese New Year, the provincial station has been showing TV dramas and rebroadcasting the Spring Festival Gala. Northwest Feng does not have to go to work on time as before. In the afternoon, they went to watch a movie together and visited the Xiguan Cross underground shopping mall. Northwest Feng dressed up her beloved man well according to her own taste.
In the evening, Yang Liufang took her home. When they arrived at the family area of the Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, Zhang Feng got off the bus without going to buy cigarettes. The two of them hugged each other behind the car and kissed each other reluctantly. Yang Liufang did not return to the car until he sent her to the door and watched her open the door. At this time, Zhang Feng was already in the car, and the two of them continued back to the hotel.
Early in the morning, Yang Liufang asked Zhang Feng to take him to the supply and marketing cooperative, and asked Yanhua to pick out a few gifts for him and put them in the back seat of the car to pay New Year's greetings to the leaders. At noon, Yang Liufang would have dinner with his leaders, and talk to Northwest Feng on the phone from time to time to express his thoughts. He was busy until about four o'clock in the afternoon. He dropped Zhang Feng at the supply and marketing cooperative and drove to Provincial Taiwan to pick up Beifeng. The two had dinner together, and then stayed in their love nest in the hotel until nine o'clock, when Yang Liu just sent her back. Home.
It wasn't until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that Yang Liu had visited all the leaders. During the Lantern Festival, Yang Liufang picked up Northwest Feng and sent him home early. He had to go back to the furniture factory, where Secretary Shitou had led Shi Yong and Shi Fang to prepare a reunion banquet for him in the cafeteria. Downstairs at Beifeng's house, Yang Liufang met Beifeng's parents.
Because of the holiday, the office got off work a little early. The two old men were walking home and happened to see Yang Liufang and his daughter getting out of the car. The two were about to hug when they were interrupted by Xi's father coughing not far away. Northwest Feng was very familiar with his father's voice, and the two hurriedly separated. By this time the two old men had arrived in front of them.
"Dad, Mom." Northwest Feng walked over and supported the two elders one by one, leaving Yang Liufang standing there at a loss. The three of them stood in front of him, and Northwest Feng made a generous introduction.
"Xiao Yang, why don't you go in and sit down when you're here?"
"Uncle, auntie, happy New Year. I wish you and your two elders a happy New Year." After saying that, he bowed deeply and Xi's father gave him a little support.
"Well, as long as the courtesy is enough."
"Mom and Dad, Liu Fang is going back to the group furniture factory to participate in an event prepared by the employees. Tomorrow is Sunday, otherwise, let him come to our house as a guest tomorrow." Northwest Feng helped him out.
"Yes." Xi's father nodded in agreement.
"Uncle and aunt, I, I will definitely come tomorrow."
"Well, go quickly. Don't keep the workers waiting. Let's have a happy holiday." Yang's father and Yang's mother are both leaders of the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. They have grown from being researchers in remote mining areas to relying on their own scientific research step by step. His ability and management skills have reached his current high position. He has always been very caring and deeply loved by his subordinates. Hearing that Yang Liufang was going to reunite with the workers, he naturally felt the same and asked him to go quickly.
Yang Liufang got in the car and said goodbye to Beifeng's family. Ximu still asked him with concern from behind: "Drive slowly on the road." Yang Liufang agreed and drove away.
In the evening, Yang Liufang attended the reunion banquet held in the factory, stayed there directly, and called Northwest Feng in his dormitory at the furniture factory until his eldest brother was very hot. Northwest Feng told him to dress for the next day and told him where to put the clothes in the hotel closet. Every detail she told him was like a gentle and virtuous wife designing the image of her husband who was going out to attend an important event.
