C86 That unforgettable Spring Festival

"Haha …" I couldn't help but laugh. "Damn, it's not good for me to work as a reporter for a newspaper. To think that you, as someone who carries the limelight, would suffer a lot …"

"That's right, Mayor is hard to serve and the secretary is even harder to serve," TV reporter continued, "The station received an order a few days ago that from now on, both Mayor and the secretary should try their best to avoid appearing in the same scene at the same time."

"Damn, why is it like this again?"

"Mayor is a few years older than the secretary, but he looks younger. Furthermore, he looks more handsome than the secretary …" TV reporter shook his head: "The secretary is unhappy!"

"There really is a way!" I nodded my head. This year, I had changed a lot from being the top interviewer in Municipal Leadership.

The party ended in less than ten minutes.

That is to say, once I finish the script, I will complete today's task.

The group took a bus back to the city council building and dispersed.

Just as I was about to leave on my bike, I saw the Corydalis walking towards the office building.

Today was the first day of the new year. Why didn't Corydalis go home to celebrate the new year?

Looking at Corydalis's slightly staggering figure, my heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Corydalis?" I couldn't help but cry out.

When Corydalis heard me call him, he stopped and turned back.

"You?" Today is the first day, why don't you go home? You on duty today? " I asked the Corydalis.

"Hehe …" "I'm the only one in the family. The child went to the countryside for the new year. I was bored out there by myself, so I might as well go to the office and read some books …" Corydalis laughed and said, a look of loneliness flashed past his eyes.

There was no doubt that the Corydalis did not celebrate New Year with Liu Yue. Liu Yue spent the year alone in a foreign land.

Why didn't he go with Liu Yue to celebrate New Year's Day? Why did both of them have to endure this loneliness? I couldn't help but ask, but in the end I didn't.

"Xiao Jiang, come back after the new year, bring Xiao Xu to my house for a meal. All year round, just these few days are free …" The Corydalis said.

"Alright, Corydalis. I'll be back on the fifth day, and I'll be at work on the seventh day. Then on the sixth day, can I?"

"Alright, the sixth is the sixth. We'll meet again then!" Corydalis and I extended our hands in farewell. "Bring me to your family's elders and wish them a happy new year!"

"Thank you, Corydalis!" I rode away.

Returning to the newspaper office, writing a script, carefully proofreading it, handing it over, I ordered a car to be used as shift and brought Qing Er back to my parents' house.

On the first day of the new year, there were very few cars on the road. Snow covered the road, causing it to slip. It wasn't until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that they arrived home.

The driver declined the invitation to dinner and hurried back to the newspaper.

Qing Er and I walked into the house.

Upon entering, I kowtowed to my parents, who were wrapping dumplings in the main hall, as per our hometown's New Year custom. "Dad, mom, baby give you a New Year greeting!"

Seeing that, Qing Er also hurriedly knelt down with me, and also said from behind my butt: "Father, Mother, Qing Er pays his respects to you!"

"Ah, my son is back!" Mother came out from the living room and helped Qing Er up, "It's snowing so heavily, and I thought you guys wouldn't be able to come back. I was feeling depressed in my heart, and now, you guys are back … Come, Qing Er, quickly enter the house, it's warm inside … "

Qing Er and I entered the house.

"Come, children, let's make dumplings and have dinner right now," Mother said happily. "We're just waiting for you to come back. This is great, we can have a reunion dinner now …"

"Hee hee …" Dad, you can smoke, but don't be so frugal … However, it's better not to smoke too much. It's best if you can quit smoking … My dad used to smoke cigarettes and let me and my mom supervise, but he just quit... "Dad, why don't you give up on smoking as well? It's not that I'm not willing to buy you a cigarette, it's just for your health …"

"Mm …" Father nodded his head: "Father will listen to what Qing Er has to say, after the new year, Father will start to quit smoking. First, let's stop smoking and finish smoking.

"Hee hee …" Daddy is so nice! " Qing Er praised his father.

With Qing Er's praise, Father felt a little embarrassed and stood up to help Mother cook.

After dinner, the family surrounded the brazier, chatting merrily.

Mother took out two red packets, giving them to Qing Er and I. "Baby, Qing Er, this is mother's New Year's money, take it!"

"Mom, I'm already so old and I already have a salary. I don't need any New Year's money, I don't want it anymore!" Qing Er rejected her offer.

"Be obedient, children. No matter how old you are, in mother's eyes, you're all children!" Mother insisted.

"What about?" "Thank you mother!" Qing Er and I received the red packet.

"Darling, tomorrow you and Qing Er should go to Qing Er's parents' home to take a look. This second day of returning home is a custom of ours, although Qing Er has not passed by, he spent his first day here. For this second day, you should bring Qing Er along to visit." Father said.

"Eh? "Alright!" I nodded in agreement.

The next day, I brought Qing Er to her parents' home in town.

At Qing Er's home, Qing Er's mother also gave him and me a red packet, a new year's money.

"Mom, I'm already so old, so shouldn't I use my new year's money?" I rejected him like Qing Er.

"How can we do that? No matter how old you are, both of you are still children in the eyes of your parents. This new year's money cannot be lacking!" Qing Er's mother had the same attitude as my mother.

My heart warmed. That's right. No matter how old a child is, he will always be a child in the eyes of his parents. No matter where he goes, he will always be a child to his parents.

Parental love is always the greatest, most selfless, most pure love!

On the afternoon of the sixth day, Qing Er and I were invited to Corydalis's home for lunch.

During the few days at home to celebrate the new year, Qing Er and I had always been inseparable. Whether it was going out to pay respects to my teacher or to attend a classmate reunion, it didn't matter if we were visiting friends or family members.

Qing Er is my legal wife, all the relatives and the family members thought so. In their eyes, since they are engaged, it means that we are legally married.

At the reunion, when the students saw us, whether they were male or female, they all revealed an envious expression.

"I already knew you two were flirting when you were in high school. I didn't expect you two to really succeed …"

"One is the Guild Leader, the other is the class monitor. They are all well-connected, congratulations …"

"Old Class Rep, Old Branch Book, when are you going to treat us to a wedding wine …"

"We went to university together, and we worked together in Jianghai. We even ate at the Gong family's dinner, tsk tsk …"

All sorts of congratulations and blessings were given to both of us.

Qing Er was very satisfied with this, and expressed his high appreciation to everyone for their congratulations. He represented me in inviting everyone to play during their time of convenience.

The homeroom teacher, Professor Qin, was especially emotional as he said to Qing Er and I, "In our high school, we can't get more than a few undergraduates in a year. That year, our class took the examinations for you and Qing Er, and that year, we only took 4 exams for you and Qing Er. "You two are my pride, the pride of our classmates, the pride of our senior high school. You two must work hard, be good people, be good work. In short, be good work, and make a name for yourselves in the river …"

and I nodded seriously.

The past few days that Qing Er and I had been at home, were the most relaxed and relaxed. We could forget about everything else at work, and just play and eat everyday.

From start to finish, I kept to Liu Yue's words: Work hard and play hard. Work is work, need to be fully committed, play is play, also want to be fully committed.

The day that I returned to Jianghai, I told Qing Er that I was going to Corydalis's place to eat. I thought that Qing Er would be a little worried, but he agreed without hesitation.

For an official like the Corydalis to think highly of a peasant family disciple like us, and to invite us to his house for dinner, this is no ordinary treatment. It shows how much the Corydalis values you, and I will follow you to see what the Senior Officer's house looks like! On the way to Corydalis's house, Qing Er told me with a smile.

Actually, I know that other than this reason, it's also probably because of the relationship between Corydalis and Liu Yue. She really wants to know to what extent Corydalis and Liu Yue have reached.

The reason why Qing Er is so concerned about this, is undoubtedly because of me and Liu Yue.

She doesn't have any ill feelings towards Liu Yue, nor does she have any good feelings towards him. However, that's built on the foundation of Liu Yue being together with the Corydalis, built on the basis of not being able to pose a threat to her. If she were to realize that Liu Yue is a huge threat to her love, I'm afraid she wouldn't think this way.

No matter how noble a man is, he is always selfish in love.

Corydalis's family lived in the's family building in the middle area of the city council's courtyard. Corydalis gave me the address long ago.

"Why can't such a big government official live in a small foreign house?" Qing Er muttered as he followed me up the stairs.

"The cadres of the city council, only those with accessory earth level or higher can live in villas. The cadres at the county level are not allowed to live in villas!" I explained to Qing Er.

In that era, there was no housing reform. Everyone's house was a public house, allocated by the public.

When I knocked on the door, I felt a little nervous. I didn't know what I would see when I entered.

Seeing Qing Er's expression, she was also a bit nervous, perhaps, she had the same reaction as me.

"He's here!" Following Corydalis's voice, the door opened and the Corydalis stood at the entrance with his apron wrapped around his neck.

"Happy New Year to Corydalis!" Qing Er took the initiative to greet the Corydalis.

"Hehe …" Come, Xiao Jiang, Xiao Xu, sit in the room! " The Corydalis graciously invited us in.

The size of Corydalis's house was not small, the living room was large, and there was a 24 inch large color TV set placed in the living room. Other than that, the other decorations could not be seen as luxurious or high-grade, it was extremely ordinary.

On the side wall of the living room, there was a picture frame. Inside the frame, there was a black and white photo. A kind-looking middle-aged woman was silently gazing at the house.

Undoubtedly, this was Corydalis's previous wife who had passed away.

Looking at the photo of Corydalis's ex-wife, I suddenly felt sad in my heart.

"Take a seat. There are fruits and candy on the tea table. Take it yourself and eat it. When it comes to my place, there's no need to be polite. Treat it as your home!" The Corydalis then entered the kitchen again, "I'm almost done, this will do …"

Qing Er and I looked around the room. There was only Corydalis in the house.
