Chapter 188: New Year's Group

The whole family sat and talked, and looked at the Spring Festival Gala for a few seconds, and it was soon midnight.

At about ten minutes, someone started setting off firecrackers outside. When the bells of the Spring Festival Gala rang, the dense firecrackers sounded, which lasted for more than half an hour before gradually becoming sparse.

Chen Tongda looked at his watch carefully before saying to his son, "It's okay, everyone's days are generally reasonable this year. The sound of firecrackers lasted about an hour and the sound was louder."

Chen Mingluo smiled and knew that this was my father's habit for many years. Since he remembered when he was a child, he would see his father carefully record the firecrackers every New Year's Eve.

Generally speaking, the longer the time is, the better everyone's life is to live. On the contrary, life is more stressful and the hands are tighter. Generally speaking, this test is more accurate.

It seems that Chinese people's habits have also led to everything being put on the surface, and my father's records can faithfully reflect people's living conditions every year, which is much more accurate than the data from the Bureau of Statistics.

In fact, Chen Tongda has always been interested in these data in life, such as the changes in grain, oil, and vegetable prices every month. These data that are closest to the lives of ordinary people have always been the options he focuses on and recorded. Over the years, several large diary books have accumulated, which can be considered a person who is interested.

These things seem useless, but in fact they can clearly reflect how much changes have been made in everyone's lives over the years, especially the direction of the relationship between residents' lives and the policies at that time, which can be seen at a glance.

The whole family survived the midnight bell and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xiao called and asked Chen Mingluo to meet her and to wish the teachers in the school together.

"Remember to drive into your car--" Xiao Xiao said to Chen Mingluo.

Chen Mingluo's driver was also on holiday and the car was thrown in the yard, so Xiao Xiao said this. Another reason is that although Chen Mingluo does not have a driver's license now, his skills are still very good. Xiao Xiao saw that he drove a few times and felt at ease to get on his car.

Anyway, the traffic police will take a few days off during the Chinese New Year, and no one will check whether anyone drives without a license.

Chen Mingluo fetched a bucket of hot water, wiped the car, then pulled some small gifts, picked up Xiao Xiao directly, and walked towards the school together.

"Click Qingmei by the way." Xiao Xiao said, then churned the pile of small gifts in the car and asked curiously, "What have you prepared?"

"Tie clips, brooches, and so on, there are sheepskin gloves, and they are just small gifts anyway." Chen Mingluo replied.

He thought it very clearly. Younger teachers would give tie clips and brooches. Older teachers would not be interested in this, so they would give sheepskin gloves. These are also some practical gifts, affordable and small and convenient. If you carry a lot of things to visit, everyone would probably feel a little abrupt.

"It's pretty good--" Xiao Xiao looked at it, nodded and praised.

While driving, Chen Mingluo looked at Xiao Xiao from the rearview mirror, and then said to her, "There are also gifts for you. Just flip through them yourself and there is a big box with the name written on it."

"Is that true?" Xiao Xiao was very happy and found a box, "Is it this one?"

After opening it, I found that there were several sets of clothes inside, no wonder it was such a big box.

Xiao Xiao opened it and looked at it and asked, "You promised to give it to me, why did it become a New Year gift again? Is there anything for Qingmei?"

"I didn't say that this is a New Year gift, but I just brought it to you in the New Year--" Chen Mingluo replied, "The box given to Liu Qingmei is below. The New Year gift I gave you is a pendant. I guarantee you will like it, but it was made by me."

Xiao Xiao took a small box the size of a matchbox from Chen Mingluo. After opening it, he found that there was a jade ornament similar to a Bagua mirror inside. The jade has a very good texture, warm, white and soft. It was a high-quality white mutton fat jade. The patterns on it were complicated and complicated, which looked a bit dazzling.

"What new features does this thing have?" Xiao Xiao knew that Chen Mingluo was making some strange little things, so he couldn't help but look forward to it.

"It's nothing to say about functions. Just wear them as an amulet." Chen Mingluo replied.

In fact, in this little jade Bagua Mirror, Chen Mingluo integrates a long-distance energy transmission array that can transmit the energy from his side, but in general, this is not of great use, it can just burst out energy there when necessary. If Xiao Xiao encounters danger, he can use this thing to send a strong signal and burst out powerful energy.

Of course, the most basic purpose is to condense spiritual energy to help yourself temper your body.

Chen Mingluo also noticed a problem, that is, Xiao Xiao's skin has become very good recently, and it is obviously the spirit gathering array that is working, otherwise there would be no explanation.

When the car drove outside Liu Qingmei's house, they stopped. The two of them took the gifts for Liu Qingmei and walked in. They found that there were quite a lot of people coming to her house to pay New Year's greetings. The older ones were naturally people who had more dates with Liu Zhongyuan. As for the younger ones, they were naturally aimed at Liu Qingmei, especially the young men in the age of 2juro, who were walking around her. It was obvious that the drunkard was not drinking.

Liu Qingmei was so annoyed, but the New Year's Day could not drive all the guests away. Xiao Xiao and Chen Mingluo came over and just released her siege. After she accepted the gift, she happily followed the two of them out.

"Your house is so lively-" Xiao Xiao said with some emotion.

"I have been old neighbors for many years. It's like this every year. I have to go through the fifth day of the New Year." Liu Qingmei wore a mid-length black jacket and light blue jeans on her legs, which made her look slender and she didn't feel like she was in the car. Xiao Xiao was generally the same.

Seeing this, Chen Mingluo smiled and said, "You guys have the figure, you can sit in the back row without feeling crowded."

However, when he said this, Chen Mingluo remembered that when he was in college, he once went to help pick up girls in the music department. There were seven people sitting on the back seats, but a few people were sitting on other people's legs, which was enough to show that they had an absolute advantage in their good figures.

Xiao Xiao and Liu Qingmei went to the home of a teacher with a good relationship to greet the new year. Although Chen Mingluo was a newly transferred student, his grades were improved rapidly and unprecedentedly, and he was also the focus of the teachers. Together with three people, it could obviously cause a great response.

They visited more than a dozen teachers along the way, and they were just passing half of the morning time. The main reason was that most of the teachers lived in the family building behind the school, which was very convenient to visit.

Unfortunately, Sister Hua is not in Mingyang. She is a person who can't stay idle. After the holiday, she went out for a trip. It is said that she would have to go to Xishuangbanna for a while before she came back.

Chen Mingluo felt that the head teacher's family must be relatively rich. Otherwise, with her own salary, how could she withstand such troubles? Flying around to Xishuangbanna would cost at least a few thousand yuan to travel, let alone the expenses of food, accommodation and entertainment.

They are paying New Year's greetings here, and the municipal party committee and government are also very lively, and the annual group meeting is underway.

Last year was a turbulent autumn for Mingyang. Since the news of Cai Sushan being transferred in the fall, Mingyang has been uneasy. Undercurrents are surging around the mayor's position, almost causing Xiao Mingxue to be imprisoned and served his sentence. Next, not only did the grain warehouse deficit case, but also killed a deputy secretary Wang Ciming. The demolition issue almost caused the new deputy secretary Yu Yuanfan to be dismissed. It felt a bit unfavorable.

Because of this, although the Municipal Party Secretary Deng Siquan and Mayor Xiao Mingxue didn't say it, they were somewhat taboo in their hearts. Therefore, this year's group meeting seemed a little more grand than in previous years. The red lanterns were hung high, and several festive traditional door god stickers were also made. As for the placement of the tables and chairs, they were also very careful. After careful observation, they could find that they were all arranged in the direction of the Nine Palaces and Bagua, and the position of each seat was in a normal manner.

Chen Tongda naturally noticed this. Although he was a little dissatisfied with it, he couldn't find any fault. After all, this is the traditional Spring Festival, and there is nothing wrong with paying attention to tradition.

At the same time, he also noticed that each of the Standing Committee members wore a red tie and a unified golden tie clip, which felt like everyone was living their zodiac year, which was not without qualities.

However, in Chen Tongda's eyes, these were all false after all. He touched the jade bead bracelet on his left wrist and thought to himself that this was the most serious treasure to ward off evil spirits. The things his son made were more effective than any mascot.

When everyone had almost communicated, the TV station came to shoot for everyone as soon as they remembered it. Although Chen Tongda was not among the Standing Committee members, he was still a candidate to get close to. More than 20 people in the group were the most important leaders in Mingyang City, and they all appeared one after another, having a good time in front of the camera, providing sufficient material for today's Mingyang news.

After that, everyone took action separately, brought red envelopes, rice, flour, grain, oil and other condolences, set out from the municipal party committee, and headed towards the destination that had been agreed upon.
