Chapter 256: Go home for the New Year

"Take it and I'll take a look." The old man waved his hand, turned around and sat on a somewhat old rattan chair. The middle-aged man turned around and took out a document from the briefcase placed on the sofa, walked to the old man and handed it to his hands.

"Key support?" Seeing the words outlined with red lines on the document, the old man closed the folder with a smile and said to the man: "Just arrange it according to the instructions in the document. We have another private enterprise in Zhejiang that we can take advantage of. This is a good thing!"

"I know, dad." With the old man's words, the middle-aged man became scheming in his heart, and immediately nodded and replied. The next thing was the chat between father and son.

At five o'clock in the evening on January 10th, Chen Kexin and Shi Yi drove back to Wenzhou together. The sister who had not seen each other for several months came back. Chen Keli naturally took Chen Kexin for her own sake. Seeing Shi Yi stared at him but couldn't help. January 20th is the first day of the Lunar New Year (Note: The real time for the Spring Festival should be February 19, and the plot needs to be deliberately made a month in advance. Don't make mistakes). Anhua Group took a holiday on January 12th. The next year, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is officially started. On the evening of January 12th, it is an Anhua people's celebration night. Not only did everyone get rich red envelopes, but they also had a big meal.

On January 13, Zhou Xiuxiu arrived in Wenzhou by plane. The two sisters Chen Keli also set off at 9 o'clock that morning and returned to their home in Hangzhou to celebrate the Spring Festival, which happened to be apart from Zhou Xiuxiu.

He was very warm with Zhou Xiuxiu. At 8:30 am on January 15th, Shi Yi set off for Shanghai again. He was traveling with him another Mercedes-Benz and Niu Dazhi's sports car from the company, and three cars headed towards Shanghai one by one.

At the same time, Lu Yongming, who stayed in Wenzhou and Li Weibo, who had just received dividends, also began to be busy at the end of the year. Piles of gifts were gathered at Anhua headquarters. Then Lu Yongming gave gifts to officials who had close ties with Anhua like a rush, ranging from tens of thousands to millions, and Anhua's budget was 30 million...

"What mental preparations are Ayi's child? It's a big surprise!" At home in Ouhai, my father had completed the purchase of New Year's goods and was stuffing money into a pile of red envelopes, preparing to pay New Year's money for relatives and children. My mother sat aside and watched quietly, and grandma was sitting in front of a large bamboo basket to wrap rice dumplings. Eating rice dumplings during the New Year is an old tradition. Grandma is from Yueqing. Each exquisite and small sweet potato brown is constantly formed in grandma's hands, and then placed in the iron bucket beside her. The father said while stuffing the money: "I drove out early in the morning, saying that I might not be able to come back tonight."

"What do you care about the young man's affairs? Ayi is not a child anymore." When the mother who had just picked up the remote control heard her father's words, she couldn't help but smile: "Can you go to pick up his girlfriend and come to our house?"

"Girlfriend?" The father frowned and then relaxed: "I hope this bastard will bring his girlfriend back for us to see. A few days ago, I saw the girl's long hair in his car. No wonder she ran out every day and couldn't stay idle for a moment!"

"Isn't it also a relief for us to find a wife?" The mother turned on the TV and said, "By the way, don't you go to the supermarket to watch?"

"Well, the afternoon will pass." My father responded casually, then looked at his grandfather who was sitting on the sofa and said, "Dad, are you not going out for a walk today?"

"If you don't want to go, it's better to sit at home." Grandpa forced a smile, closed his eyes again and pretended to be leisurely. Grandma's hand movements couldn't help but pause. The rice dumplings that had just been wrapped and had not tied the rope suddenly dispersed, and the atmosphere in the room seemed a bit strange.

"Ha, hehe..." The father smiled bitterly, and took out two more pieces from the stack of 100 yuan bills on the coffee table and stuffed them into the red envelopes: "This New Year, our family should be lively. There should be many children brought by a group of relatives and friends. Dad, mom, do you think this red envelope is enough for 200 yuan?"

"Pack more." Grandpa raised his eyelids and looked at his father: "Although this money is for the children, it will be obtained from the parents in the end. Don't be said that our Shi family is stingy. Just pack five hundred yuan in a red envelope."

"Yeah." My father responded, and the atmosphere in the room became dull again.

Almost every year during the Chinese New Year, such an atmosphere always appears in the house, especially when grandparents are alone, which is more obvious.

The four of them seemed to be pretending to be in their hearts, but they didn't want to say it. The father could only say to Mrs. Liu who was sitting beside him: "Aren't you going home this year?"

"I..." Mrs. Liu is a foreigner. She is also a Chinese. Looking at the rich New Year atmosphere of the Shi family, how could she not want to go home? Her hesitant appearance made her father understand. She nodded and grabbed several thousand dollars from the coffee table and stuffed the red envelopes. She stuffed the whole red envelopes bulge, and then handed them to Mrs. Liu and said, "It's already twenty-five now. If you can buy a ticket and go home, it should be too late. You can pack up your things and go home quickly. There is no reason not to go home during the New Year. Look, take it!"

"Brother, I..." A deep fear and fear flashed through Sister Liu's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and lowered her head: "I won't go back."

"Then I won't go back." The mother seemed to know something about Sister Liu. Before her father could ask, she smiled and said, "Treat this place as her home, and celebrate the New Year at home this year!"

"Thank you... Thank you, brother and sister..." Mrs. Liu's eyes turned slightly red and she nodded vigorously.

On the 25th day of the lunar calendar, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has spread all over the country. Whether it is the Han, Manchu, or other ethnic groups, as long as they are Chinese, the blood of the Chinese children is flowing, the Spring Festival is an extremely important festival.

This is not only a national celebration festival, but also a growth of the five thousand years of Chinese culture.

The climax of returning home had already begun to appear more than ten days ago. By the 25th, it was already a climax. Shi Yi and his three-person cars were moving forward at a slow speed on the national highway. From time to time, a motorcycle or bicycle would be faster than the side...

This time, Niu Dazhi and Niu Hao came out with Shi Yi. Niu Dazhi was in front, Shi Yi was in the middle, and Niu Hao pressed his tail.

When the three of them entered Shanghai, it was already dark. It was eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. After thinking about it, Shi Yi did not call Shi Pingping in the end. Instead, Niu Dazhi and others found a hotel nearby to wash up and then went to bed to rest. Although the bumps of the day were not tired, they were a little numb. People who occasionally drove long-distance buses knew that even if they drove hundreds of kilometers in later generations and were still on the highway, there were also service stations to rest from time to time. Even so, after driving all the way, they were sore and numb all the way... What's more, now.

"Pingping, why are you not sleeping yet? Why are you standing there stupidly holding a toy?" In an ordinary house in Ximen Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai, a middle-aged woman in her early forties walked to Shi Pingping, who was sitting on a bench with a cell phone, and said in a low voice: "Go back to sleep quickly. If your father sees you that you are not sleeping so late, you should be nagging again."

"Well, mom." Shi Pingping was startled, then stuck out her tongue and stood up from the bench, saying, "You should go to bed early, I was just thinking about something."

"A child's family is in the middle of the night and thinks about something." The middle-aged woman couldn't help but smile and touched Shi Pingping's head, saying, "Go to bed quickly!"

"That." Shi Pingping hesitated for a while, and suddenly asked her: "Mom, do we have an uncle in Wenzhou?"

"Hmm?!" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but frowned: "Where did you hear it?"

"I'm just asking." Shi Pingping said hesitantly: "If... I mean, someone suddenly came from the uncle's house in Wenzhou, you..."

"How is that possible?" Shi Pingping's mother, Shi Yi's second aunt, blurted out after hearing Shi Pingping's words: "We have been waiting for many years, and we have never seen anyone come to our family..."

"Huh." The second aunt suddenly stopped, looked at Shi Pingping with a strange expression, and said, "Pingping, don't you know anything, right?"

"I..." Shi Pingping hesitated for a while before slowly raising her hand and showing her cell phone in front of her second aunt: "This is... this is what my cousin from Wenzhou bought for me last time. He called me yesterday and said... He said he would leave for Shanghai today, saying that he wanted to pick us up and uncle's house to go home for the New Year..."

"Bang..." The iron tea cup in my second aunt's hand suddenly fell to the ground, making a bang sound. Second aunt's eyes turned red slightly, and she murmured: "Go back... go home for the New Year..."

Jinshan District belongs to the suburbs of Shanghai, and Ximen Town is a small town in the suburbs. People with some money left Ximen Town like they fled and settled in the city. The people who stayed behind were basically working class with low incomes. Therefore, the economy in Ximen Town is not well developed, and occasionally you can see a few cars passing by. The cars that you often see in the town are vans from two Wenzhou people named Shi in the town, which are used for delivery.

These days, because of the Chinese New Year, many people have settled in the city, but they still choose to come back to Ximen Town to celebrate the Spring Festival. After all, this is still their roots. This generation has a deep relationship. However, when the next generation grows up, this root will not be in Ximen Town...
