Section 4 One of the first visits
() After the holiday, I went back to the county seat and met with Wanfang once to confirm that I would be here on New Year’s Day. Of course, you know the rest.
After returning home, while my parents were busy getting supplies for the New Year, they asked me what I had bought for my girlfriend’s house and if I wanted their help in preparing it in advance.
I said no, just go to the street and buy it on New Year's Day, so as not to have to buy it back and forth and get into trouble. I'm the most afraid of trouble.
My parents said, that's fine. Anyway, it's your first time to come to the house, so you have to do a decent job and don't let your girlfriend's family look down on you.
On New Year's Eve, the family happily had a reunion dinner. My father and I drank a lot of wine.
I said to my parents: "You don't have to work so hard in the future, I will make money to support you."
Mom was so happy that she couldn't help but smile and said: "We have good hands and feet and good health. Why do we need you to support us? You should still be busy with your own affairs and be nice to Wanfang. Besides, don't get involved in falling in love."
If it affects your work, you must do a good job at your job so as not to disgrace your school, and you must also maintain a good relationship with your leaders and colleagues."
I nodded in agreement.
In the evening, we chatted around the fire again. My mother told me to go to bed early and reminded me not to drink too much when I go to Wanfang's house tomorrow.
I nodded in agreement again.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I changed into a red suit, polished my leather shoes, and after visiting a few family members in Wanzi, I happily set off for the county town.
When I arrived at Mingyang Town, the shuttle bus to the county seat was still waiting for someone, and I wouldn't be able to leave for a while. I had nothing to do, so I wandered around the town.
There were a lot of people in the town and it was bustling. There were many people around the door of every store. I saw a lot of people shopping around the door of a relatively large non-staple food store, so I walked in.
People who were shopping were mostly buying cigarettes, wine, and cakes. I also took a look at this one and that one. The boss, who was in his forties, saw me picking up this bottle of wine and looking at it, and then that one.
He looked at the wine bottles, knowing that it was difficult for me to choose, so he came over, picked up a bottle of wine and said to me:
"Little brother, I see you are well-dressed and want to buy wine to celebrate the New Year? This Garden Green Wine is the most popular this year. Take this Garden Green Wine to celebrate the New Year. It is both beautiful and decent. It is suitable for families of all levels."
My heart moved. After all, Wanfang's family is also a cadre family. She took things too many times. It was not an embarrassment to her, but an embarrassment to me.
"Then take two bottles." I said, good things come in pairs.
"Take two more Hongtashan cigarettes and get a piece of the best rice cake." I was in a good mood and said it casually.
"Little brother, whose house are you visiting to pay New Year's greetings and give such a heavy gift?" the boss asked me while taking things.
I smiled and said nothing.
After getting the things in hand, I paid the money, left the store, and got on the shuttle bus to the county town.
One village after another, one town after another, flashed past the car window. Thinking that I would see Wanfang soon, I was in a very good mood and hummed a little tune.
The shuttle bus stopped here and there, and finally arrived at the county seat at 11:30. As soon as I got off the bus, I called a taxi and went to the street to buy a large bouquet of roses. I looked at them and smelled them.
The aroma is so fragrant that I head straight to Wanfang's home.
After getting out of the car, I took my things and walked downstairs to Wanfang's house. I blew a long whistle, and Wanfang's surprised voice came from upstairs: "Here he is! He's here! Mom! He's here."
!”
Immediately, Wanfang stretched out her head and waved to me, "Come up! Come up quickly!" Following her voice, several heads stuck out of the window, including men and women, and I didn't even recognize them.
I stomped up the stairs, and Uncle Ke and Wanfang met me on the second floor.
"Xiao Li, look, why are you so polite when you come to play?" Uncle Ke said, casually taking the things in my hand and passing them to Wanfang.
"Uncle, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best! Good health! Happy family!" I said hurriedly.
"It's all the same, it's all the same! Fang, you take Xiao Li up first, and I'll go downstairs to set off firecrackers." Only then did I see Uncle Ke holding a large roll of firecrackers in his hand.
Then, Uncle Ke went downstairs.
I took the gift from Wanfang again and gave her the rose. She took it, smelled it in her nose, and said, "It smells so good! This is the most roses you have ever given me!"
When I walked to the door of Wanfang's house, the deafening sound of firecrackers was heard from downstairs. Secretary Liu was already waiting at the door.
"Hello, Secretary Liu! Happy New Year! I wish you success in your work and a happy family!" I said.
"You are happy too! Come in quickly! Come in quickly!" Secretary Liu responded hurriedly, and took the things in my hands, and I followed them into the living room.
When we arrived in the living room, Wanfang immediately placed the roses on the coffee table, and I followed them to look at them.
Several people were sitting in the living room, and when they saw me coming, they all stood up. I quickly took out my cigarettes, and Secretary Liu immediately introduced them.
"This is Fang's second uncle." She pointed at a man with a crew cut.
"Hello, second uncle! Happy New Year, second uncle!" I said and handed over a cigarette.
The second uncle bowed to take the cigarette and also said: "Happy New Year to you too!" He looked at me, from top to bottom, and nodded.
"This is Fang's second aunt." Secretary Liu pointed at a woman sitting next to his second uncle and said.
"Hello, second aunt! Happy New Year, second aunt! I wish you will become more and more beautiful in the new year!" I said.
The second aunt immediately piled a flower on her face and came out with a bright face. After smiling, the second aunt said: "You are happy too! Sister-in-law, Fang, this child has such a sweet mouth! So romantic!"
Wanfang laughed softly, and Secretary Liu also smiled.
"This is Fang's third aunt and uncle." Secretary Liu pointed at a man and a woman and said.
"Happy New Year to my third aunt and uncle! May you have a sweet love and a successful career!" I said again, and then handed over a cigarette.
After my uncle took it, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "The young man is very energetic! Not bad! Not bad!" Third aunt also said, "Fang, you have really good eyesight! What a good eyesight!"
Wanfang smiled sweetly and said, "It's my mother who has good taste!"
"This child! This child! Your aunt is praising you, why are you dragging your mother with you?" Secretary Liu said with a smile.
At this time, Uncle Ke returned to the living room, and I hurriedly handed over a cigarette. While taking the cigarette, Uncle Ke said, "What are you all standing for? Sit down and talk."
Everyone sat down around the coffee table. Wanfang pulled me to sit on a single sofa, while she sat on the armrest of the sofa.
Secretary Liu cleared his throat, and then said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Xiao Li, who works at the Jiangnan Police Station of the County Public Security Bureau, is a graduate of a genuine public security school, and is Fang's friend."
"Xiao Li, how long have you been working?" As soon as Secretary Liu finished the introduction, the second sister-in-law spoke.
"I just graduated this year." I answered.
"You are so young! Why didn't I meet a boy as good-looking as you when I was young? Fang, you are really lucky!" The second aunt said with envy. The second uncle rolled his eyes at her, and the second aunt just pretended not to notice.
"Yes, yes, looking at the logo, it feels refreshing! Your mother is so partial, I'll leave it to you!" Third Aunt joked.
Everyone also laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Secretary Liu said: "Old Liu, you take Xiao Li and serve with everyone. Fang, help mom serve the food."
"Okay." Wanfang left me and followed Secretary Liu to the kitchen to serve food.
"You little girl, you just like to talk nonsense, and now you have aroused envy, jealousy and hatred." The sound of Secretary Liu caressing and scolding came from the kitchen.
