Just after lunch on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhichao drove his motorcycle to see Su Chunfeng and went out to pay New Year greetings...
Su Chunfeng had no choice but to get on Li Zhichao's motorcycle. He knew that he was going to various villages to kowtow to the parents of his junior high school classmates with whom he was close and pay New Year greetings. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was immature but still thought that
When you have matured and grown up, you have to put on airs in everything and follow the customs and habits like a man. If you don't do this, you will look ignorant and childish. If you do, you will be an adult.
Already.
For example, if you go to kowtow to pay New Year greetings now, when you come back, you will definitely be shouting and nagging among a group of brothers: "Oh, I went to so many houses today, I am so damn tired during the New Year." But the expression will definitely look proud, as if
It seems that I have grown up now and have my own social circle.
Although Su Chunfeng was helpless about this phenomenon, he would not reject it.
No matter what the psychology of this behavior is, but as the old saying goes, "return a gift for a gift." If other students come to your home to kowtow to your parents and pay New Year greetings, and you don't go to their home to kowtow to pay New Year greetings, you are really being ignorant.
In particular, Li Zhichao is the most enthusiastic about this.
Of course, girls will not go around kowtowing to pay New Year greetings. This is tradition.
Of course, a boy would not foolishly go to a girl’s house to kowtow to her parents and pay New Year greetings. In that case, the girl’s parents would serve her with sticks.
Two and a half young men were riding a motorcycle, wandering around several villages in two townships to pay New Year greetings.
By the time the New Year's greetings were over, the sky was gradually getting dark.
On the way back, we passed through Linhe Village, and on the muddy road just before leaving the village, the motorcycle had to slow down and swerve through the potholes. At this time, we heard the sound of a high, narrow road beside the road.
Someone on the narrow curb shouted: "Hey, Su Chunfeng, Li Zhichao... stop for me!"
The voice was as clear and crisp as an oriole, pleasant to listen to, but it carried an undeniably strong commanding tone.
Su Chunfeng turned around and saw Wang Rui, the representative of the Chinese class of her class, standing on the curb with her arms akimbo. She was wearing a windbreaker-style slim down jacket, black trousers and black leather cotton shoes with semi-heels, which made her taller and plump figure look even better.
They are like those models in New Year pictures, but without painted lips and eyebrows, they look more natural, real, delicate and beautiful, and have a cool beauty that looks like Ice Cube teacher Chen Liping.
This feeling is naturally due to Wang Rui's rather formal dress and angry face.
Li Zhichao didn't bother to see who was calling them. He drove the motorcycle out of the pothole area with concentration, and finally found a dry place to stop. Then he turned to look at Wang Rui and waved: "Hi, Wang
Rui, happy New Year."
"Wang Rui, happy Spring Festival!" Su Chunfeng also said politely.
Wang Rui walked around from the high and clean curb, stood in front of the two people who had already got off the car, looked at Su Chunfeng angrily with his hands on his hips, and said: "Su Chunfeng, why are you on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month?
You didn't go to our house for a meeting? I invited you personally! Are you looking down on people?"
While talking, she didn't even look at Li Zhichao.
Su Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Sorry, sorry, I was going to go that day, but something happened to happen at home, so..."
"What happened at your house that day?"
"Isn't it convenient to tell you this?" Su Chunfeng said with a smile.
Wang Rui said angrily: "You just look down on people! Do you know that among all the people I invited to my house for a meeting, you were the only boy. I didn't even invite the teachers at the school, but you didn't even invite me.
How embarrassing will it be for me in front of my classmates if you don’t even give me any face?”
Su Chunfeng said in shock: "Isn't it right? Who dares to look down on you?"
"Humph!" Wang Rui's eyes turned red as he spoke, as if he would shed tears in the next moment.
Li Zhichao was dumbfounded as he watched - Darling, Su Chunfeng is so awesome. Even Wang Rui, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, invited him to attend a meeting at home... Wang Rui is a veritable school beauty with excellent academic performance. His father
It’s Guanmiao Township Party Committee Secretary Wang Tianming again. There were several times when he used a police car from the township police station to pick her up and off from school. Even the principal, head teacher, and teachers held her and cared for her all day long.
Yes, there are so many junior high school students who fall in love early. Who has ever heard of a boy pursuing the school beauty Wang Rui? Isn’t it because they are afraid of Wang Rui and feel ashamed in front of Wang Rui?
On weekdays, Wang Rui would inadvertently show a condescending attitude when talking to boys, but she invited Su Chunfeng to her home for a meeting...
But Su Chunfeng didn't go!
Doesn’t this allow people to live?
Seeing Wang Rui's appearance, Su Chunfeng couldn't help but apologize repeatedly with a guilty look on his face: "I'm really sorry, I did have something to do that day, I'm sorry, sorry."
"How do I know if you lied to me?" Wang Rui said angrily.
"Hey, I was repairing my car at home that day. If you don't believe me, ask Li Zhichao. He knows that our combine harvester is stored in his feed factory." Su Chunfeng pointed to Li Zhichao.
Wang Rui said angrily: "Don't lie to me. Li Zhichao came to our village for a meeting that day and I saw him."
"He's going to a meeting, but it won't affect me helping my dad repair cars in their factory..." Su Chunfeng looked innocent.
"Yes, yes." Li Zhichao hurriedly came to the rescue and helped Yuan Lie: "Chunfeng and his father were indeed repairing cars in our factory that day. It is difficult to buy accessories for this combine harvester. The manufacturer delayed three
It's been more than a month, right? I just sent it to you, please tell me, if it happens to be in time for the busy farming season, it won't delay things."
Su Chunfeng nodded fiercely and said, "Who says it's not the case? Alas."
Wang Rui seemed to be convinced by the two men's singing, and then she snorted and said: "Okay, I accept your apology, but don't break your promise to me in the future!" After saying that, Wang Rui turned around and walked around.
Walk to the clean curb and walk towards the distance.
Looking at that slim figure, Li Zhichao swallowed and said, "Chunfeng, why didn't you go?"
"I don't want to go." Su Chunfeng got on the motorcycle and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark soon."
"You're awesome!" Li Zhichao gave a thumbs up, got on the motorcycle and pedaled a few times. With a roar, the motorcycle started and drove Su Chunfeng towards Hetang Village.
Su Chunfeng sat in the back seat, feeling the cold wind blowing against her face. Thinking about Wang Rui's previous attitude, she couldn't help but smile bitterly - Wang Rui was already influenced by her parents at a young age, and she could be trusted to make friends with her.
People who are friends must definitely be capable and can be used by them in the future, otherwise they will be ignored. Thinking about the past life, Wang Rui, who was only 31 years old, became the powerful deputy of Pingyang City.
The mayor, not to mention the role of his father, just his strong ability and the depth of the city's scheming are enough to make people fear... In short, it is best to keep a distance from this kind of woman, otherwise if she wants to take advantage of her
When you are useless, he will trample you under his feet without hesitation. When he needs to betray you in exchange for profit, he will sell you decisively without even frowning.
…
For several days in a row, I followed the custom and went to my relatives’ homes to pay New Year greetings.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Chunfeng and his younger brother followed their parents to a relative's home in Pingyang City to pay New Year's greetings.
Speaking of which, this relative is not a distant relative, but Chen Xiulan's biological uncle, Su Chunfeng's third grandfather, Chen Xian.
Chen Xiulan's family was a well-known scholarly family in her early years. However, during the special period of the Republic of China when she was young, her family's decline prevented her from going to school to receive cultural education, and her family became ordinary farmers.
The old man and the old lady also became depressed and died early.
However, Chen Xian was tactful and resourceful during that special period. At that special period, he was so excited that he was stimulated by the current social situation. He decisively severed ties with his family and took the lead in attacking the family. Not only was he not harmed, but he was also harmed.
Qiyi became a well-known leader of the rebels. In the middle and later stages of those days, Chen Xian was keenly aware of something wrong, and decisively chose to join the army!
Therefore, during the period of redressing the wronged after the special period, Chen Xian was fortunate and inevitable not to suffer any impact, and instead grew into an outstanding officer in the army.
In 1983, Chen Xian was discharged from the army and transferred to the county public security bureau as deputy director. With his keen political acumen and tactful ability to deal with people, in just over ten years, his official career seemed stable but continued to improve, and he has now entered the
He became a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and served as deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He is a truly powerful figure.
Logically speaking, with such a serious relative and elder, Chen Shunhe, the elder brother of Su Cheng's family and Chen Xiulan's mother's family, should not be in this situation.
At least get a job like a regular worker, right?
Isn’t it a hundred times better than farming at home?
The problem is that Chen Xian is a serious old man and has never used power for personal gain. Aren't his brother and two nephews still farming at home?
However, Su Chunfeng knew that in fact, the relatives on her mother's side still harbored resentment towards Chen Xian, the most promising person in the old Chen family.
Severing ties, taking the lead in attacking families and persecuting family members.
However, Chen Xian later became an army officer and a senior government official after his career change. He also went home to visit relatives in person. Therefore, no one in the old Chen family mentioned those old things anymore.
Who doesn’t want to count on this senior official to take care of them?
It's a pity that Chen Xian didn't help any of them!
It is precisely because of the old hatred and some current grievances that the two parties do not have normal relatives walking around on weekdays. Only during the big festival of the New Year, the younger family members will go to the city to pay New Year greetings to Chen Xian. Yes.
What is certain is that Lao Chen's family, including Su Cheng, are still proud to have such a relative. And some of them inevitably have some thoughts of being taken care of in the future.
This is not entirely out of snobbery, nor is it about flattering others...
It's human nature.
At least, Su Chunfeng knew very well that his father, Su Chengcheng, had never thought of asking his father-in-law to help him arrange a job so that he could make a living by farming at home - you know, when Su Cheng joined the army, he was on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang.
If he had made military exploits and was wounded, if he approached Chen Xian after he retired from the army, and Chen Xian was willing to help, he could easily be assigned to a government department based on his qualifications of having been on the battlefield, wounded, and made military exploits.
