Chapter 1819 The Holiday Is Over
"Tell me, I've only been back for a few days and I have to leave again. It's still New Year's Eve." Mei Qiuping took out another box from the room - there were already three stuffed boxes next to it, so she had to use brute force. Only then could I zip up the big box, then look around for the bag, stuffing various things into it, while talking non-stop.
"There are a lot of people traveling today," Feng Zhenchang sat on one side with his feet crossed. His hair, which was dyed a year ago, showed some white hair again. "Now this year, it is getting shorter and shorter."
The years are getting shorter and shorter. This is indeed another new change that comes with Feng Jiachong's life getting better.
In the past, most of those who went out to work would go out on the sixth or eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and some would simply wait until after the Lantern Festival.
In fact, on the sixth and eighth day of the lunar month, whether it was a bus or a train, it was really not for people.
In the past, every year on the sixth and eighth day of the lunar month, you would have to wait in line for at least two hours to take a bus to the county seat in the town. Once you got to the county and then take the bus to the provincial capital, buying a ticket for the day was a problem.
Even if you buy a ticket for the day, it is normal for you to wait for two or three hours at the county station.
Next, when you arrive in the provincial capital, you have to transfer several buses to the long-distance bus station or train station you want to go to...
At that time, people from the Feng family who rushed out to work were not as relaxed as they are now, dragging a suitcase out. Most of them were not willing to buy a suitcase at that time. They usually carried a woven bag in their left hand - even a certain luxury brand later. The one of the same style comes out, with a snakeskin bag carried on the right shoulder - usually with two big words on it, "Urea".
Just like Mei Qiuping now, she stuffed everything into these two bags, including bacon, rapeseed oil, pickles, chili powder... and the clothes she was wearing, maybe even the bedding...
We haven't even arrived at the train station, train or long-distance bus station yet. This journey has allowed us to burn off the little fat we gained during the New Year.
But after the Lantern Festival, although there will be a small peak, it is incomparable with the sixth and eighth days of the lunar month.
That is to say, many people could stay at home for at least ten to twenty days back then, but now, many people are so brave that they can stay at home for a week during the Chinese New Year - the earlier the business outside opens, the earlier it will make money. Well.
Many people in the Feng family have been criticized, and now they can finally use that saying: Time is money.
Aren’t these New Year days getting shorter and shorter?
"What does it matter?" Feng Yiping said. He didn't even bother to tell his mother not to prepare so many things for himself, because it would be useless.
"When the weather warms up, you will go from your home to the provincial capital, and then from the provincial capital to see the houses you bought by the Huangpu River, then go to the capital, and we will go to the United States together..."
"As long as you can let go of your family, you can follow me all over the world for a year."
"It's not interesting if we don't go to the United States," they actually said.
"I know, for you, there is no place as good as home,"
"Of course,"
Indeed, it is really difficult for them to integrate in the United States, and many cities in the United States are not as lively as big cities in China. Besides, communication is also a problem.
How can I be as comfortable as I am now in Fengjiachong?
Also, how can it be so widely respected outside, especially abroad, as it is in Fengjiachong and Wuli'ao?
"This time is different, there is a surprise," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
"Surprise?" Mei Qiuping glanced at Feng Zhenchang, who looked clueless, "What's the good news?"
"Now that I've said it, what's the point of calling it a surprise," Feng Yiping said.
Mei Qiuping, who was interested, made a few guesses, and finally she was a little surprised, "Amanda is almost three years old, and Jingping won't go home for the New Year? Isn't she pregnant again?"
"Mom, where are you thinking?" Feng Yiping also admired his mother's thinking.
"I didn't think much about it, I didn't think much about it," Mei Qiuping looked a little disappointed.
"It's just that I'm pregnant again, so what does it matter? There is no family planning in the United States. Our eldest granddaughter is alone and doesn't even have a companion. Let me tell you, have as many children as you can. It's best to have children. It’s not like you can’t afford to support a large group of women now,”
Feng Yiping subconsciously felt that the focus of what his mother said should fall on the "son" of "sons and daughters".
They didn't force the first child, but for the second child, especially when they had such a big business, the parents definitely wanted to have a son.
Feng Yiping almost wanted to say it. This surprise was related to the grandson they hoped for.
In any case, Ma Ling and Vincent no longer need to hide it, they can also let them know.
"Don't say these words...,"
"I know, we won't say it in front of Jingping," Feng Zhenchang said.
This shows that they themselves actually know where that sentence ends.
I believe Huang Jingping can also hear it.
But how can it be so easy to have a son or a daughter?
"Even we all know that there are a few Americans who only have one child," Mei Qiuping muttered.
"Mom," Feng Yiping watched her put a big bag of fried dumplings in, but couldn't help but shout, "You don't need to bring this,"
"This isn't for you, it's for the big guy Irving next to you," Mei Qiuping said. "You might be able to buy it outside, but it definitely doesn't taste like this."
"Don't you like it? When I had this when I was a kid, I wouldn't eat,"
What could Feng Yiping say? ...
In the end, although he didn't bring bedding, he brought four large suitcases!
But he didn't go with the suitcases.
He didn't take the Chevrolet Business Star back. After a long string of firecrackers, he drove an Audi and set off. He said to the crowd of people who heard the news, "I'm not leaving now, I'm just going to Meijia Village, have lunch at my grandfather's house, and come back in the afternoon."
"I'm not leaving now," Hearing him say this, many people felt relieved and watched him drive away with a smile.
Of course, he was leaving now.
The reason he said that was that he didn't want everyone to take the trouble to send him off again. I heard that many families kept a string of firecrackers as long as the one they set off on the morning of the 30th during the New Year, waiting to set them off on the day he left.
When he left Wuli'ao, Business Star would set off from the village with the four large suitcases.
He also didn't have time to eat at his grandfather's house.
Originally, he wanted to stay at home for a few more days this time, but he received news from Lao Ma on the first day of the new year that Sun Zhengyi would come to China tomorrow. It was natural for him to rush over to meet him and witness his withdrawal from Alibaba.
…………
When they saw the car driven by Feng Yiping flashing its taillights twice and crossing the hill behind the village office, Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping came down from the roof.
Mei Qiuping seemed to be relieved, "It's better to leave early. I tell you, I've always been a little flustered these days, always worried about what happened to them. This is the first time I've been like this during the New Year in recent years."
She actually said this before the New Year, and it seems that she has been worried these days.
"Now he's out, nothing happened, it's good,"
Feng Zhenchang shook his head, "How many times have I told you, you always scare yourself, can't you think more about the good things?"
This is the difference between father and mother. No matter when, mother will always worry about her child. No matter how well he is doing now, she will always worry about him not doing well.
When a child travels a thousand miles, the mother worries!
…………
At this time, there was another person who was not very related to Feng Yiping, but he had a few acquaintances with him, and he was also thinking about Feng Yiping.
He was Li Zhiqiang, the reporter.
Li Zhiqiang was still on vacation at this time, but as a competent reporter, he was also resting and did not completely put his work aside.
Students prayed for good grades this summer, businessmen hoped that their business would be better this year and they could make more money, and they naturally hoped to catch a few more big news this year.
When thinking of big news, Li Zhiqiang couldn't help but think of Feng Yiping.
Since his company in the United States launched YouTube and Facebook, he seemed to have not made any big news for several months. According to his pattern over the years, his next big news should be coming soon?
Li Zhiqiang will soon find that his wish will soon come true when his work in the new year is about to officially start.
At this time, in the capital, Director Yang, the secretary of Mr. Wang, has already gone to work...
