Because people stay up late on New Year's Eve and have to get up early in the morning to pay New Year greetings, most people take a short rest at home in the morning after breakfast.
Just after lunch, Li Zhichao drove the black Jialing 125 motorcycle that his father had bought for him two years ago to pick up Su Chunfeng at Su Chunfeng's house, and went out to visit other villages to pay New Year greetings - because he was in high school.
Because of this, there are many more people who want to kowtow to pay New Year greetings this year than last year.
Li Zhichao is good at dancing and makes friends easily, so he naturally has many friends.
Su Chunfeng did not want to visit the homes of most of these so-called high school friends because he did not have that close relationship with them. But Li Zhichao reminded him with one sentence: "Chunfeng, you
Although you have little contact with them, you are well-known in school. If you don’t go to their house, they will come to yours, believe it or not?”
Su Chunfeng thought about it and nodded helplessly.
Anyway, that's all it is during the Chinese New Year, the meaning of kneeling is not that big, just return favors in exchange of favors, and don't have to worry about face issues such as the gold under the man's knees.
Since there were many doors to visit to pay New Year greetings, the two of them drove their motorcycles to seize the time. No matter whose house they went to, they basically went in, knelt down and paid New Year greetings, and then left in a hurry with a few polite words... It was extremely efficient, and it was indeed enough.
Busy at work. At Su Chunfeng's suggestion, they walked around in a circle and finally arrived at Dongwangzhuang Village.
After visiting several classmates' houses to pay New Year's greetings, Su Chunfeng asked Li Zhichao to stop the car and wait for him while passing by a narrow alley.
"Whose house are you going to?" Li Zhichao wondered.
Su Chunfeng smiled and said: "Teacher Wang Qimin, by the way, let's wish him a happy new year."
"Oh." Li Zhichao was a little confused, but he turned the motorcycle around without hesitation and said, "Then let's go together."
Su Chunfeng smiled and had no objection.
When the two of them entered the alley and arrived at the door of Wang Qimin's house, they were stunned - they saw the shabby courtyard door with bright red Spring Festival couplets tightly locked. Standing in the alley, they could see through the low courtyard wall.
There are three dilapidated bungalows in the yard planted with several elm trees, and spring couplets are posted on the locked doors. However, the yard is covered with snow, and some dead weeds poke out from the snow mixed with dead leaves.
At first glance, it looked disorganized and depressed.
Obviously, no one has lived in this home for a long time.
"Hey, the old man has moved?" Li Zhichao muttered, turning his motorcycle around to leave. There was nothing wrong with his guess, because the house had been unoccupied for a long time and there were Spring Festival couplets posted on it, which should be the reason for the move.
However, Su Chunfeng had a lot of thoughts in his heart. He knew that Wang Qimin had no way of talking about moving.
Just as the neighbor from the opposite door came out, Su Chunfeng politely stepped forward and asked Wang Qimin's whereabouts. The neighbor told him that after Wang Qimin retired in the early autumn of last year, he rented his family's farmland to his neighbor. He did not say where he was going, so he left.
Haven't come back now.
The couplets on the door were posted with help from neighbors.
The neighbor also said that a young man came to see Wang Qimin several times a year ago. He also came yesterday evening on New Year's Eve and today on New Year's Day morning.
Su Chunfeng knew that the young man the neighbor was talking about should be Qian Ming.
He also guessed that Wang Qimin must have been traveling to other places to find qualified young people to take on as his disciples. However, it was a hard time for Qian Ming, a genius who wanted to become a disciple and practice.
Thinking of this, Su Chunfeng couldn't help but feel sad and helpless guilt.
After thanking the neighbor, Su Chunfeng and Li Zhichao left the alley and went to Zhao Shanggang's home - Li Zhichao insisted on going to Zhao Shanggang's home to pay New Year's greetings, and Su Chunfeng could not object.
Zhao Shanggang happened to be at home. He did not expect that Li Zhichao and Su Chunfeng would come to his home to pay New Year's greetings to his mother, so he was particularly surprised and excited. Especially when facing Su Chunfeng, Zhao Shanggang was full of guilt and seemed to be flattered.
Li Zhichao on the side couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "It stands to reason that since Su Chunfeng's father is his savior, Zhao Shanggang, why haven't we seen Zhao Shanggang kowtow to Su Chunfeng's parents during the Chinese New Year in the past two years?"
Because basically all the classmates who were supposed to go to pay New Year greetings had finished visiting their homes, so Li Zhichao and Su Chunfeng were not in a hurry to go back. They just stayed with Zhao Shanggang's enthusiasm to sit and chat for a while. Of course, the main reason was that Li Zhichao wanted to stay here longer.
In order to get closer to Zhao Shanggang.
Su Chunfeng said to Zhao Shanggang in private: "Shangang, I have to trouble you with something."
"You're welcome, aren't you? Just let me know if you have anything to say!" Zhao Shanggang almost didn't beat his chest - in his opinion, as long as Su Chunfeng was willing to let him help, he would feel more comfortable.
Su Chunfeng said seriously: "Wang Qimin left home in the early autumn of last year and hasn't come back yet. I'm a little worried. After all, he is my teacher. You, help me entrust a few people to pay attention to Wang Qimin's house. What?
When Wang Qimin returns home, please notify me immediately."
"No problem." Zhao Shanggang agreed.
It is best to leave this kind of thing to Zhao Shanggang. Even Zhao Shanggang is not often at home, but as long as he says hello to the gangsters below, I am afraid everyone will have to help him keep an eye on Wang Qimin's house.
There was movement. However, Su Chunfeng was still a little worried. He greeted Zhao Shanggang and Li Zhichao and asked them to chat first while he went out to do something. Then he walked back to Wang Qimin's door alone.
It's cold in winter, and no one walks around in the narrow alley.
Su Chunfeng looked around and saw no one around, so he picked up a brick and carved an inconspicuous symbol on the old wooden door.
When ordinary people see this symbol, they naturally don't care.
But if Wang Qimin sees this symbol when he comes back, he will immediately understand that this is a trick master coming to say hello to him.
After finishing these tasks and seeing that it was getting late, Su Chunfeng returned to Zhao Shanggang's house, greeted Li Zhichao, said goodbye to Zhao Shanggang's family, and left.
Never thought...
As soon as Su Chunfeng entered the house, Zhao Shan drove his motorcycle to the house.
There is no other reason - Happy New Year!
Zhao Shanggang came to pay Su Chunfeng's parents a New Year's greeting. It was really a New Year's greeting. This is no nonsense - when Zhao Shanggang arrived, he carried a box of good wine worth a thousand yuan, took two Hongtashan cigarettes, and a large bag of chicken, duck and fish.
...Not to mention, just when Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan looked puzzled and had to treat them with smiles and enthusiasm, Zhao Shanggang seriously asked Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan to sit on both sides of the table, and then
, he walked to the table, faced Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan, and knelt down seriously, kowtow!
"Shan Gang kowtows to my uncle and aunt to pay New Year greetings! Happy New Year!"
boom!
A real buzz!
But Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan were startled. The couple looked at each other in a panic, and quickly stepped forward to help this young man who looked very tough at first glance: "Well, the courtesy is too heavy, too heavy.
!”
"Once a year, that's right." Zhao Shanggang said with a respectful smile.
Su Chunfeng frowned watching from the side.
If he had known this, he really shouldn't have gone to Zhao Shanggang's house to pay New Year's greetings with Li Zhichao. If he had not gone to Zhao Shanggang's house, he would never have dared to come to Zhao Shanggang's house to pay New Year's greetings without his permission. Today, when he goes... well, Zhao Shanggang can't
Even if you find a reason, as courtesy is reciprocated, you have to bow back, right?
Zhao Shanggang has long been eager to come to Su Chunfeng's house to pay New Year's greetings to his elders!
After kowtowing to pay New Year's greetings, Zhao Shanggang declined the family's enthusiastic invitation to stay and kept the things he brought. Then he walked out of the house and got on the Yamaha 400 motorcycle. In Sucheng, Chen Xiulan and his wife were very surprised and very enthusiastic.
As he watched, he opened the accelerator and drove wildly out of this narrow alley.
Seeing the rare oversized motorcycle and the young man with the same toughness disappear in the alley, Su Cheng walked back and asked in confusion: "Chunfeng, this, this Zhao Shanggang, who is this?"
Where are you from? What do you do?"
"Ahem." Su Chunfeng coughed dryly and explained: "I am from Dongwangzhuang Village and do business at the Nanguan District Farmers Wholesale Market in the county."
"How do you know him?" Chen Xiulan said with some worry: "I think this man is very fierce and has a gangster spirit."
"Hey, don't mention it, it's a coincidence." Su Chunfeng scratched his head and said: "When I was playing in the county town with some classmates last fall, I happened to encounter him driving a motorcycle and had a car accident, and he almost died.
I didn't think of anything else at the time, so I called a few classmates and sent him to the hospital in time for rescue... Today I went to a classmate's house in Dongwangzhuang Village to pay New Year's greetings. I happened to meet him on the street and he insisted on saying that he wanted to come to his house to pay New Year's greetings.
I said I didn’t want to come, but I didn’t expect that he would come right after I came back.”
"oh……"
Su Cheng and Chen Xiulan suddenly realized that this was the case.
"He is a good boy who repays his kindness."
"Well, I think he is only 23 or 24 years old. He opened his own business in the county town at a young age. He can be considered a promising and capable person."
"Xiao Feng." Su Cheng suddenly said: "You did the right thing to save people, you did a good job, but... well, as for Zhao Shanggang, in the future, it is best to have less contact..." At this point, Su
Cheng felt that there was something wrong with educating his children in this way, so he thought about it for a moment before continuing: "You are in school now, and it is not time to make social friends yet, so you should concentrate on your studies. Besides, we don't do good deeds for any reward.
Right? Ah."
Su Chunfeng nodded hastily: "Yes, yes, I know, father and mother, don't worry."
He knew in his heart that the aura of a fierce man like Zhao Shanggang was too powerful, too aggressive and oppressive. Even though he appeared to be honest and kind, with a smile on his face, he still had such a strong and domineering aura in his bones.
, it will also make ordinary people feel a little fear in their hearts when they see him.
