Chapter 672
In the village chief's office on the second floor of the village headquarters, the tin stove was burning very vigorously, and the room was very warm.
The fourth uncle crossed his legs, wearing reading glasses, and the old god was reading the newspaper. Suddenly, with a "bang", the door was knocked open, and the eldest grandson ran in with a gust of cold wind, "Grandpa, there is another car coming in, this time It's a small car,"
He went to the window to look, and sure enough, a white car got off the slope, and he asked, "Which one is back?"
The car window was rolled down, and everyone poked their heads out, "Fourth Master, it's me,"
That was Feng Zhicheng who used to run a workshop in the village.
"It's Zhicheng, you just came back today? It seems that your business is doing well. It's good to buy a car, but remember, you can't drive after drinking, and drive slowly in the village,"
In this case, as long as he is driving home for the New Year, he will give instructions.
Every year during the Spring Festival, there will always be some accidents.
At noon the day before yesterday, at the bridgehead in the town, a car failed to stop and hit two people who were going to buy new year's goods. One was fine, while the other was seriously injured, with his left leg broken.
At noon yesterday, when a minibus was approaching the town, there was a problem with the transmission shaft, and it rushed directly to the river beach below. Fortunately, the river beach was very flat and full of sand. A car full of people, only minor injuries such as scratches.
However, Guo Guojian, who had already returned to the provincial capital, broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the two accidents, and hurried back to call Feng Jiachong. During the Chinese New Year, Feng Jiachong must have the most cars, so he must pay attention to safety.
"Remember," Feng Zhicheng agreed, "I'll invite you to sit at home when the house is cleaned up tomorrow."
Later, Feng Zhicheng still let his parents take care of the processing workshop, and went out to open a noodle shop himself.
However, those who have ideas are different. After the business of the two noodle restaurants stabilized, he handed over all the responsibility to his wife, and found another way to make money by himself, engaging in fruit wholesale.
Therefore, although he is not the first batch of noodle restaurants in the village, his current income should be higher than that of the first batch of restaurants. This year, he has the money to replace the original van with Fukang.
This year, not only his family bought cars in the village, the village also brought back two Xiali, one Fengyun and one Sail. The best one is Feng Hongbing. He bought a 2.5L Cherokee. Running towards the town with a car of people.
After living a better life and seeing more of the world, some changes have taken place in the village. For example, the current Spring Festival in the village is actually a bit like a vanity fair, and the comparison is even stronger than before.
Feng Hongbing's mother has been very energetic these two days, and her loud voice can be heard several families away.
And those who have not bought a car, or still drive a van, always feel that their aura is inferior to others. However, they can also speak out loudly, such as mortgaged another house this year, their children were rated as excellent employees, or they were elected as employees. Supervisor....
Of course, these comparisons did not include Feng Yiping's family, so there was no comparison at all. For his family, everyone respected him besides being grateful.
Even Feng Hongbing's mother was honored when she mentioned Feng Yiping's family, "I heard that his family has a county leader coming today?"
Really, years ago, except for Guo Guojian who came to visit his home in person, many departments in the county, such as the China Merchants Bureau, Foreign Trade Bureau, Education Bureau, Industry and Commerce Taxation, etc., at least had people like the deputy directors visit his house. The bank also sent someone.
There are also other villages and towns in the county, who also send people to make familiar faces. The towns adjacent to Wuli'ao are either the mayor or the deputy mayor. There is no way, Jiasheng is in Wuli'ao. The generosity made them jealous.
Of course, the people who came in this season were not empty-handed, so everyone joked, fearing that those who had given gifts to the county leader's house would come to his house afterward.
…………
This year's time is a bit unfortunate. On New Year's Eve, February 11th, which happens to be Monday, it is still impossible for the school to give Chinese students a holiday. There is no way but to continue to miss classes.
"You really don't want to come with me?" Feng Yiping asked while Huang Jingping was helping to adjust the tie.
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the California Chinese Students Association sent him a special invitation card, and he had to go to the New Year's Eve fraternity.
To this end, he also wrote a check for two thousand dollars for the event.
Because this time the event is no longer held at the home of the foreign students, but in a hotel in the bay area. The class is of course higher, and the cost is also not small.
On the whole, at present, the proportion of domestic families that can easily afford an international student is not particularly large. If the participants are AA, it is estimated that some students are not ready to participate, and it will not be lively.
Therefore, this time, the organizer of the fraternity asked students like Feng Yiping who had a considerable income in the United States—they only knew about the copyright income of Feng Yiping’s book, and those students with strong families. Part of the fee for advice.
"It's just chatting, drinking and dancing. I might as well write and write at home,"
When Huang Jingping said this, she was actually thinking for Feng Yiping. Now that she went to such an occasion with Feng Yiping with a big belly, some people would always gossip.
"Then you have something to call, I'll be back as soon as possible,"
"Well, I know, you have to drive, don't drink if you can,"
When driving down the mountain, looking at the two red lanterns hanging in front of the gate of his house, Feng Yiping himself thought it was funny, a pure Western-style building with two traditional Chinese red lanterns is really not too harmonious.
However, it is less troublesome than the red couplets. No problem. In foreign countries, if you want to have the atmosphere of the New Year, you can only decorate these gadgets that foreigners think are symbols of China.
The sorority is always like that, but this time, because it is mentioned in the invitation to wear a formal attire, it looks more formal. Although it is a bit suspected of being a dress, being in it really feels better than those casually dressed banquets.
On such occasions, those female international students in dresses are always the focus, not to mention, there are indeed a few who look quite good, Feng Yiping is holding a glass of juice, standing in a corner watching, but these proud girls, They didn't seem to care too much about the boys around them.
This is also an embarrassing reality. If some of those boys come from high-ranking officials and wealthy families, these girls will definitely be happy. Others, even under the same family conditions, these girls will generally tend to choose foreigners. As my partner, after more than ten years, this situation doesn't seem to have changed much.
"Hey, Yiping, you are hiding here," Li Jialun led a large group of people over with a glass of wine.
The people behind him are naturally well-off, at least it seems that many people have arrogance on their faces, but sorry, Feng Yiping didn't take it to heart when Li Jialun took pains to introduce, just shook hands with them with a smile, "Happy New Year!"
He didn't really want to blend into these circles of wealthy young people.
"Your siblings didn't come?"
"Oh, she's preparing today's dinner at home," Feng Yiping said casually.
"Why, aren't you going to participate tonight?" Among the crowd, some were surprised, and Li Jialun was also taken aback for a moment.
"Hehe, I have to go back later," Feng Yiping really didn't want to come, but it's not good to not participate in such an event at all, and it's good to show up now, and you can already do business.
"Don't worry, Yiping, we have arranged a lot of wonderful activities after dinner," he gave a look you know.
Evening event? Feng Yiping naturally guessed the general content.
A classmate who also had a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent touched him familiarly, and said to the girls in the arena, "They will go tonight too!"
Another one gestured to a girl in a black evening dress over there, "How about it, pretty, as long as you go to participate, I promise she will follow you, hehe, your large royalties are not attractive." Small,"
Feng Yiping frowned and didn't answer his words.
"Hey, how do you talk?" Li Jialun said with a smile, "These are only for money, will Yiping like them?"
"That's right," a short man said, shaking his wine glass, "Don't look at them being so proud and dignified now, I know a few of them, and those American classmates, it's very casual."
Feng Yiping coughed, "I'm sorry, I have to go home, you guys have fun,"
"Leaving in such a hurry?" Li Jialun and the others put down their wine glasses and accompanied Feng Yiping to the hotel entrance, only one person stayed where they were.
Needless to say, this movement really made many girls pay attention to Feng Yiping who was surrounded by them. However, he has always kept a low profile in front of his compatriots, and few people really recognize him.
"Since there is something at home, we will not force it, and be careful on the road,"
These guys who have only met once or twice at most and are not very familiar with them are very polite today. They actually hug Feng Yiping one by one, pat their backs a few times, and at the same time say a few auspicious words.
This seems a bit abnormal, but it may be because of today's special day, Feng Yiping thought.
To be honest, such a move made him feel somewhat warm.
Watching Feng Yiping's car drive up the avenue next to the hotel, the classmate who stayed there nodded, and Li Jialun clapped his hands, "OK, let's have a glass of wine to celebrate!"
…………
Today's weather is fine, the sun is shining brightly, and the highest temperature reaches 18 degrees Celsius. In this weather, Feng Yiping really can't find the feeling of celebrating the New Year in his hometown. As soon as he took off his tie, he saw a car in the rearview mirror. The police car followed with flashing lights, a little strange, is this looking for me?
After the siren sounded, the police car still followed him, and it was really looking for him.
Feng Yiping parked the car slowly on the side of the road, put his hands on the steering wheel neatly, looked at the white policeman who got off the police car, and put his right hand on his waist seriously, where his police gun was hanging.
However, Feng Yiping faintly felt that something was wrong. He just came out of the hotel, why did the police come to check him? Wouldn't it be that the police were waiting for me, or was it designed by someone?
