Chapter 649 Another Year
He paid a quick visit to all the bigwigs in the political and business circles in Jiangbei. It was not until the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month that Li Dong calmed down.
A simple New Year's greeting, but Li Dong was exhausted.
It wasn't until this time that Li Dong fully understood what it means to talk to people and talk to people.
It is not simple people who can make him come to visit.
And these not simple characters, to be successful, naturally have their own independent personalities, and their personalities and habits are very different.
Some important people like to be polite. When Li Dong came to visit, he could talk for a long time without repetition, and you were embarrassed to interrupt others during the whole process.
When you get used to being silent here, when you go to visit another person, you are silent, and the result is that they are more silent than you.
Li Dong didn't speak, and the other party could sit with a teacup for a whole day without opening his mouth, so the atmosphere was awkward.
These two kinds of people are actually quite easy to deal with, at least any attitude can be seen on the bright side.
The third type of person is even more troublesome. You can't see his attitude at all. He laughs when you laugh, and keeps silent when you keep silent. Anyway, he can pick up whatever changes you make.
You can't understand what this kind of person is thinking in his heart, whether he is kind or malicious towards you.
Even for the first two types of people, in fact, Li Dong couldn't tell whether it was true or not.
Of course, right now Li Dong didn't care about whether it was true or not. Visiting to pay New Year's greetings was an attitude. His own attitude showed that whether others treated him with good intentions or malice was out of his control.
...
I just finished the task of paying New Year's greetings here, and in a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is here.
Early in the morning, Li Dong was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside.
Since the early morning, the sound of firecrackers in Pingchuan has not stopped.
Li Dong yawned and complained, "It would be nice if fireworks are banned someday."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
When Cao Fang heard his words, she disapproved and said, "Fireworks are still prohibited, and that depends on whether the common people agree. Besides, if firecrackers are not set off during Chinese New Year, is that still called Chinese New Year?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "Mom,
Don't take it seriously. As for whether you agree or not, that doesn't matter. If the government really wants to take care of it, then it doesn't matter what you say. When a ban comes down, I guarantee that there will be no firecrackers in Pingchuan. "
"You're fooling a ghost." Cao Fang didn't believe it.
Li Dong smiled and said nothing, this is really not a fool.
Now it sounds like everyone may feel a little disapproving. How old is the old tradition of setting off firecrackers during Chinese New Year, and the government can ban it if it says so?
In the past, Li Dong didn't believe it either.
Everyone is in one mind, the law does not blame the public, and they are all setting off firecrackers, what else can you do to me.
But Li Dong clearly knew that if the government were to be serious, its efficiency would be extraordinary.
For one year in the previous life, Pingchuan was banned for one year, and at first everyone thought it didn't matter.
Good guy, when it's Chinese New Year, the whole Pingchuan is silent, there is no sound at all.
They cut off the source directly, and even arranged for special police to patrol around during the Chinese New Year. Who would dare to be this early bird.
As a result, during the Chinese New Year that year, if Li Dong, who was single, hadn’t watched the Spring Festival Gala, he almost forgot that he was celebrating the Chinese New Year.
The topic got a bit far away, and Li Dong didn't talk about it anymore. He just complained that he was really going to be banned, and the flavor of the year was indeed lost by more than half.
While putting on his clothes, Li Dong said, "Mom, remember to knock on the door next time, okay? I'm an adult, and you don't even say a word when you come in. What if..."
"What's the matter? You are my son, so you are afraid that your mother will see something? Besides, you don't lock the door yourself, I just pushed it in..."
Cao Fang babbled for a while, Li Dong was full of helplessness, and he didn't bother to continue to be serious. After his mother finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "Mom, do you have something to say?"
Li Dong mentioned something, Cao Fang remembered the business now, and hurriedly said: "I almost took you into a ditch, get up quickly, pack up and go to Qin's house."
"To the Qin family?"
Li Dong muttered, Cao Fang nodded and said: "It's Chinese New Year, go over there and have a look. I've prepared all the gifts for you, be polite when you come to the door, and ask the girl of the Qin family if she will come to our house to celebrate the New Year? This year your grandma and uncle are all here, let everyone meet."
"Your classmate Wang Jie's children are all born, Ah Feng is getting married soon, and you will be 23 after the Chinese New Year..."
"Mom, I'm 22!"
Cao Fang rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "We're talking about false years, what 22, besides 22 is not too young, when your father was your age..."
Seeing that his mother was going to talk about ancient times again, Li Dong suddenly said helplessly: "I see, I will do it. But it is hard to say whether Yuhan will come to celebrate the New Year, and many people have come to their house. Her grandparents are here this year. New Year's Eve here..."
"Then you have to go! Come on, let's not talk about it, I will add something for you, and you will bring it over."
Cao Fang didn't talk to him anymore, and hurried out of the room.
Li Dong couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to get up and wash.
When he washed up and went out, he was immediately frightened.
Good guy, there is a gift box as tall as a person in the middle of the living room. If you don't know it, you might think you have a grocery store at home.
Seeing Li Dong coming out, Cao Fang packed up her things and said, "Go early, if you are embarrassed by yourself, Mom, I will go with you..."
"No need, I'll go!"
How dare Li Dong let his mother go there at this time, now that she sees a woman, she can't wait for Li Dong to marry and go home.
Two days ago, Wang Jie brought the children over to pay respects to them, and his mother has been bewitched.
Now all she can think about is hugging her grandson, hugging her grandson, hugging her grandson...
As for who the daughter-in-law is, Cao Fang doesn't care anymore, it doesn't matter whether it's the daughter-in-law of the Qin family or the girl of the Shen family, as long as she can add a grandson to herself.
After simply eating something, Li Dong struggled to pick up a large pile of presents. Before leaving the house, Cao Fang did not forget to tell her: "Be sweeter, remember to call the girl from the Qin family to come to our house for the New Year's Eve dinner."
"knew."
"Are you ready for the red envelope? After all, there are a lot of people coming over there, and they are all elders and children. If you don't prepare it, let me prepare it for you. You wait first."
"No need, I can do it myself on the way."
"Then... Is that something missing? Ah Feng bought me a few new sweaters last time, but I haven't worn them yet. Why don't I take them out and take them with me..."
"Mom, I'm leaving!"
Li Dong didn't dare to listen to her continue nagging, and ran out wheezingly carrying the gift.
Seeing how fast he was running, Cao Fang was a little embarrassed.
When she saw Li Chengyuan wandering around as if nothing had happened, Cao Fang said angrily, "You're too busy. Don't ask about such a big matter. Isn't it your son?"
Li Chengyuan looked innocent, and said helplessly: "I'm about to post the door link."
"It doesn't matter if the door link is posted later. You said that Dongzi will go alone, so why don't I worry about it. If I had known earlier, I would go with me."
"Don't make trouble with me."
Cao Fang stared and said, "Why did I make trouble?"
The corner of Li Chengyuan's mouth twitched for a while, and he said with a dry smile, "Then you tell Dongzi, I'll go to the station to pick up Lan Lan."
"Oh, I almost forgot about this. Then you go, and Nanming and Qingqing really won't let them come?" Cao Fang was immediately distracted and asked with some concern.
There are many people from Cao's family this year, and Cao Fang is also afraid that Li Chengyuan will feel uncomfortable, so she asks Li Lan to come over to celebrate the new year.
But on Li Nanming's side, Cao Fang made a point, but Li Chengyuan refused.
"Forget it, sister-in-law doesn't want to move, let Nanming and Qingqing accompany her to celebrate the new year." Li Chengyuan said nothing more perfunctorily.
In fact, Li Chengyuan really wanted the old Li's family to get together. The key was that Li Nanming was out of tune. He was afraid that Li Dong would not want to see Li Nanming if he came over.
It's fine in normal times, but the New Year's event is so ugly that it makes people laugh.
Since Li Nanming was not allowed to come, Li Qing couldn't let her come alone, so Li Chengyuan didn't mention it again.
Seeing what he said, Cao Fang nodded and did not try to persuade him.
In fact, she was just polite, it was fine for Li Lan to come, but if Li Nanming and the others really came, she would still be reluctant.
...
The Qin family.
Because of the advance greeting, when Li Dong arrived, Qin Yuhan was waiting downstairs.
Seeing him getting out of the car and taking out a lot of presents from the trunk, Qin Yuhan smiled and said, "Why are you so polite today?"
"Isn't it Chinese New Year? Come to pay New Year's greetings to my father-in-law. How can I do it if I don't prepare some gifts?"
"Slick tone!"
Qin Yuhan laughed, and after seeing the gift, he smiled again and said, "You definitely didn't prepare it, did Auntie ask you to bring it?"
Li Dong suddenly smiled and said: "Smart! It seems that you can be a detective."
"Come on, I don't understand your temperament. If your aunt didn't ask you to take it, you would wish to come empty-handed."
Li Dong said embarrassingly: "Look at what you said, it seems like I am stingy, I still can't bear this little thing?"
"You are not stingy, the key is you have a big heart." Qin Yuhan said angrily.
It's not the first time this guy has come to Qin's house. He never brought a gift before. He always came to eat and drink. After eating, he patted his ass and ran away.
Qin Hai and Yang Yun didn't care about this matter, after all, they often met each other and were very familiar with each other.
Qin Yuhan herself doesn't care about this, the main reason is that there are still relatives at home today, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and younger cousins. If Li Dongda comes empty-handed for the Chinese New Year, it will not look good.
Without talking about the gifts, Qin Yuhan briefly introduced who was in the family, and then went upstairs with Li Dong.
After entering the gate of the Qin family, Li Dong felt that he hadn't come in vain this time.
For the Chinese New Year, Li Dong came to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning. Both Qin Hai and Yang Yun had smiles on their faces.
Especially seeing Li Dong still carrying a lot of things in big and small bags, the couple were even happier.
It's not that they lack this thing, the main thing is attitude.
Some time ago, after Yang Yun resigned from afar, she never had a good look towards Li Dong.
On the one hand, it was because the resignation made her a little uncomfortable, and on the other hand, because the relationship between Li Dong and Shen Qian was rumored in the company, Yang Yun was even more breathless.
Seeing Li Dong coming to the Qin family for the Chinese New Year now, Yang Yun felt much more comfortable.
The two greeted Li Dong into the room with a smile, and then were busy introducing Li Dong's relatives.
Relatives of the Qin family are also simple, because Qin Hai has been doing well in the past few years, and the Qin family spends the New Year with Qin Hai.
Apart from Qin Yuhan's grandparents, Qin Hai has only one younger brother.
Qin Hai's younger brother is not very old, and his son and daughter are also not very old, probably in their teens.
Li Dong shouted a circle of people with a smile on his face, and then gave a circle of red envelopes to the two old people and children.
The old man and the children were very happy, but Qin Yuhan's second uncle and aunt frowned slightly, glanced at Li Dong, then at Qin Hai and his wife, and scratched their heads when they saw their smiling faces.
Seeing that Li Dong was talking to the two old people, Qin Yuhan's second aunt pulled Yang Yun.
Seeing this, Yang Yun showed puzzled eyes, Qin Yuhan's second aunt beckoned, and then dragged her to the kitchen.
After entering the kitchen, Qin Yuhan's second aunt took a breath and said, "Sister-in-law, is this Yuhan's boyfriend?"
"Um."
"Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"
Yang Yun smiled and said: "This is all about children, after all, they are young, so I forgot to tell you about this."
Qin Yuhan's second aunt frowned and said, "Isn't Yuhan still studying? Her boyfriend is her college classmate?"
"No, high school classmate."
"High school? What about now?"
"Stop going to school now, do something..."
Yang Yun was about to talk about starting some business, but Qin Yuhan's second aunt interrupted impatiently: "Sister-in-law, you are so confused! Yuhan is a top student of Beijing University! You two are also executives of a large group. The child is messing around?"
"Students from high school who have dropped out of school, you can greet this kind of person with a smile! I said sister-in-law, what do you think? If this is placed on me, I will definitely not agree to it. This is not a chill. Our family rain Han?"
As soon as Yang Yun heard this, she frowned and interrupted: "Keep down, don't let people hear you."
Second Aunt Qin Yuhan saw that her sister-in-law was not happy, so she quickly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, that's what I said. But sister-in-law, you really have to think about this matter. Let me tell you, my natal family has a nephew who just graduated from the University of Science and Technology last year , is also a good-looking talent, I wanted to mention this to you yesterday, and I was thinking that Yuhan was still studying, so I didn't have the nerve to open my mouth.
But now Yuhan talked about it by himself, so I will say more.
My natal nephew is known to everyone in the world, and after graduation he joined a large conglomerate to work, and now he is paid an annual salary..."
The corner of Yang Yun's mouth twitched for a while, feeling a little depressed.
No wonder my sister-in-law has been so attentive these two days, and her feelings are based on my daughter's idea.
Hearing that the sister-in-law was going to introduce her natal nephew to Qin Yuhan, and she didn't like Li Dong, Yang Yun was afraid that something bad happened to her, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Don't talk about this matter, Zhang Ying, let me tell you, this matter is impossible In addition, Li Dong did not drop out of school. He is a student of Jiang University. Also, he is now the boss of a company, started his own business, and is in love with our family, Yuhan. Don't make trouble for me. .
Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you a good face when the time comes, I can't persuade your elder brother to get angry, understand? "
Seeing Yang Yun's solemnity, and the fact that Yang Yun and his wife are acting out of order now, although Second Aunt Qin Yuhan felt a little unhappy, she still smiled and said, "That's it, that's it, I just said it casually, my sister-in-law doesn't Just listen to it.
But this matter, you and big brother really need to think about it more, after all, Yuhan is not very old now..."
"I see. I'll talk about it later. I'll go out first."
After Yang Yun left this sentence, she stopped talking to her, and she didn't bother to talk about some things.
Just like Li Dong is the boss of Yuanfang, Yang Yun was vague about this matter and got away with it.
On the one hand, Qin Hai is currently working in a distant place, and Yang Yun is afraid that they will think too much.
On the other hand, Qin Yuhan and Li Dong are just boyfriend and girlfriend after all, if they tell their sister-in-law at this time, this woman has a big mouth, and the whole world will know about it later.
Regardless of whether Li Dong and his daughter can succeed in the end, Yang Yun doesn't want everyone to know about it anyway.
There is a big gap between the Qin family and Li Dong now. If this matter gets out, someone will be designated to make irresponsible remarks, and such words as climbing riches and honor are light.
If the mouth is not clean, anything can be said.
Seeing Yang Yun leave the kitchen, Qin Yuhan's second aunt curled her lips, she really didn't have a plan for her sister-in-law.
My niece is very popular now, so I decided to make it so early, isn't she stupid.
But after all, she wasn't her daughter, and now she was begging her elders, Qin Yuhan's second aunt mumbled a few words and didn't say anything more.
