Chapter 1153 Returning Home to See Family

Xu Nuo was sitting in the office, with a video playing on his computer and a document next to him.

The Spring Festival Gala in cooperation with Sichuan TV has been recorded and will be broadcast on the evening of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

He participated in the previous rehearsals and did not stay on the scene after confirming that there were no problems with the process.

After watching the entire program after editing, Xu Nuo did not find any problems, picked up the document and signed it, and then asked the secretary to take the document out.

After finishing the work at hand, Xu Nuo leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling and took a deep breath, thinking about something.

He has decided not to go home for the New Year this year and stay on duty at the company.

This is also the first time Xu Nuo stayed away from home for the New Year.

After communicating with Tan Yue that day, he hesitated for a long time.

On the one hand, he did not go back to see his parents this year, and he missed them a little.

On the other hand, he felt a headache when he thought about being arranged to go on a blind date when he went home.

Xu Nuo recalled the experience of blind dates over the years and was really a bit overwhelmed.

When the company counted the people who voluntarily stayed to work overtime, he signed his name without hesitation.

Brilliant Entertainment Company will keep some people on duty during the Chinese New Year. If someone volunteers, no one else will be arranged.

Xu Nuo looked at the time on the computer and got up and left the office.

After a while, he went to the president's office to find Tan Yue.

"Old Tan, when are you going back?" Xu Nuo sat down on the sofa and searched for the tea leaves on the coffee table.

"I'm going soon. I'll pack up and leave." Tan Yue put the documents in the cabinet and turned around and asked, "Are you really not going back?"

If Xu Nuo changed his mind and wanted to go back to Jishui at this time, he would agree directly.

"I'm not going back. I've called my mother and said that there are too many things in the department and I can't leave." Xu Nuo reminded: "If my mother asks you, don't let it slip."

If his mother knew that he didn't go back to avoid the blind date, he could imagine that he would be scolded.

"Don't worry." Tan Yue packed some things on the desk.

"Now that I think about it, it's good not to go home, so I don't have to be nagged all day long."

"You," Tan Yue sighed, and continued: "These are all old-fashioned topics, so I won't say much, just solve your lifelong affairs quickly."

"I know, I know." Xu Nuo answered absent-mindedly, and took out a box of new tea from the drawer under the coffee table: "How does this tea taste?"

"It's okay." Tan Yue didn't even turn his head.

"When you go back to your hometown, I'll help you drink it first, so that it won't go bad. It would be a pity."

Tan Yue smiled and said: "It would be a pity if you drank it."

Xu Nuo put away the tea: "Be careful on the way back!"

Tan Yue answered with a "hmm", packed up his things and sat on the sofa, patting Xu Nuo on the shoulder: "After the New Year, find time to go back to your hometown."

"Okay." Xu Nuo nodded.

"Is there anything I can bring back for your uncle and aunt?"

"I sent a courier the day before yesterday, it will go straight to your home, it saves trouble."

"I will go to see my uncle and aunt, I will tell them for you then."

Xu Nuo stood up and said, "I took the tea away, there should be a lot of cars on the road, drive slowly on the road."

Tan Yue made an "OK" gesture, watching Xu Nuo leave, hoping that his good buddy could solve the major event of his life as soon as possible.

Tan Yue stood up and looked at the office to see if there was anything else that needed to be tidied.

The Chinese New Year is coming, and the office should be tidy.

In fact, this kind of thing should have been left to Chen Ye.

Tan Yue finished his work very early, so he came by himself.

"Knock, knock, knock"

There was a knock on the door, and Chen Ziyu opened the door and came in: "Have you packed it?"

"No problem."

"I have also dealt with my business, when will I leave?" Chen Ziyu was carrying a bag, dressed simply and generously.

I will meet Tan Yue's parents in the evening, so I naturally have to dress appropriately.

Tan Yue glanced at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock. He said, "Do you want to eat something before leaving?"

"I'm afraid of wasting time, so I ordered a hamburger. Let's eat on the road."

As the New Year approaches, the traffic conditions on the road are a factor that must be considered. If the two of them have another lunch, they don't know what time they will arrive at Jishui.

"Okay, let's go now." Tan Yue picked up the remote control to turn off the air conditioner in the office, picked up his windbreaker from the hanger, and put it on.

The two came out of the office.

"Mr. Tan, Mr. Chen." Chen Ye had cleaned his area early and sorted out the documents.

Tan Yue said, "It's time to get off work. I've been busy for a year, so I'll go home early. I've sorted out the things in the office, so there's no need to clean."

"Okay." Chen Ye said, "Mr. Tan, Mr. Chen, please be safe on the road!"

Tan Yue nodded and said, "Okay, Happy New Year! Say hello to Director Ye for me!"

"Happy New Year!" Chen Ye's eyes revealed a trace of envy as he watched Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu leave together.

Then he packed his things and prepared to go home to enjoy this annual leave.

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu took the elevator to leave, first picked up takeout at the front desk on the first floor, and then went to the underground parking lot.

"Mr. Tan, are you going back home?" Ma Wenru's car was parked at the elevator entrance.

"Yes, back to my hometown." Tan Yue said: "Where are you going? There are so many New Year's goods in the car!"

Chen Ziyu beside him also sighed: "There are so many things."

She even felt that she bought a little too few gifts.

"Hometown, I only go back once a year, bring more things."

Chen Ziyu immediately gave a thumbs up. She would also buy things for her parents when she went home for the New Year, but she would never buy so many.

Tan Yue said: "It takes you eight or nine hours to get home?"

"Almost. It takes nearly ten hours to drive during the New Year."

Chen Ziyu said: "You are alone, so you must pay attention to safety."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, I will remember it!"

Tan Yue said: "Go back quickly, don't waste time, go slowly on the road."

"OK!"

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu took off their coats tacitly before getting in the car, otherwise it would be very hot after the air conditioner was turned on.

"Ziyu, eat something first, I will tell my family."

After the voice fell, Tan Yue called his mother.

"Mom, we're leaving now. We should be home around seven o'clock."

"Don't rush home. I heard from others that there are a lot of cars on the road now. Be careful."

"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. We'll leave right away."

"Okay, your dad and I will wait for you at home."

Tan Yue hung up the phone. Not long after, the car left the parking lot and drove towards the highway.

The blue sky, the warm sunshine, and the cars speeding on the highway.

The car was playing music, and the navigation prompt sounded from time to time.

Tan Yue was driving the car attentively. Chen Ziyu sat in the passenger seat and looked down at the phone, whispering: "Should I call my mother to tell her?"

She saw that the family group was talking about buying New Year's goods, and suddenly remembered this matter.

"Let's talk about it." Tan Yue pressed a button on the steering wheel, and the music that was playing stopped abruptly. At the same time, he lowered the volume of the speakers to try to make the navigation prompt sound smaller.

Chen Ziyu called her mother.

"Ziyu, have you set off?" Last night, Chen's mother learned that the two of them were going back to Jishui today.

"We are already on the way. I want to tell you that we are leaving."

"Are there many cars on the road?"

"It is quite congested in Beijing. After leaving Beijing, there are fewer cars on the road."

"That's good. You must pay attention to safety when driving." Chen's mother said, "It should be evening when you return to Jishui, right?"

Chen Ziyu turned his head and looked at the navigation, and said, "It will probably take more than seven o'clock to get there. Some places are congested. I wonder if there will be traffic jams after we get there?"

"Just drive slowly. Is Xiaoyue driving now?"

"Yes."

"You two should take turns driving. It is very tiring to drive to Jishui alone."

No matter how old a child is, he will always be a child in the eyes of his parents. It takes so long to drive home, and I can't help but want to remind him a few more times.

"Okay, Mom, we are not stupid, don't worry." Chen Ziyu said, "How are the New Year's goods prepared at home?"

"It's almost ready. Whoever has time can go buy some these days. Today, your brother is at home, so let him buy the last few things."

"No wonder I saw you say in the group that you asked Chen Xiang to buy things." Chen Ziyu heard someone talking on her mother's side, so she said, "Mom, you go ahead and get busy. I'll get back to you after I get to Jishui."

"Okay, be safe!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ziyu sighed, "It's really busy! Busier than me!"

During this period, as long as you call during the day, it should be good to talk to your mother for five minutes.

Although Chen's mother and father are already in a semi-retired state, they can't stay idle every New Year. After all, they are in the catering industry, and the New Year is a busy time.

They have been working hard for decades, and it is unlikely that they can really rest.

Tan Yue smiled and turned on the car music. When he heard that there was an accident five kilometers ahead, he unconsciously released the accelerator.

Chen Ziyu also sat up straight, paying attention to the situation ahead.

As the distance to the accident site got closer and closer, the car in front turned on the brake lights, and Tan Yue slowed down again.

Fortunately, the accident was not serious, and the two cars that collided had been towed to the emergency lane.

The car passed smoothly.

Chen Ziyu leaned on the seat and said, "Fortunately there was no traffic jam, otherwise it would have been at least half an hour."

"There are too many vehicles, and the driver's level may not be very good, so it is easy to have an accident."

Chen Ziyu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had been chatting with Tan Yue, talking about some trivial things in life, the scenery passing by, and the places he wanted to travel in the future.

One car after another was driving on the highway, almost like Tan Yue, they were all rushing home.

Jishui.

Li Yulan, who was sitting in front of the TV, turned her head again to look at the clock hanging on the wall. It was almost seven o'clock, and she murmured, "Why haven't Xiaoyue and the others arrived yet?"

Since Tan Yue hung up the phone, she began to look forward to the two of them getting home quickly, resulting in no time to do anything else in the whole afternoon.

In fact, Tan Yue didn't want to tell his mother what time he was leaving. If he got home late, his parents would definitely worry.

But when the two of them talked on the phone last night, Li Yulan specifically asked him to call and tell her when he was leaving.

Tan Zhaohe said, "Didn't Xiao Yue say he would be home after seven? It's not even seven yet, don't worry."

An Nuan on the side comforted: "Now everyone is on holiday and going home for the New Year. There are many cars on the road. They may be stuck in traffic. Let's wait a little longer."

Li Yulan picked up her mobile phone and found her son's mobile phone number, but she didn't dare to call him, worried that it would affect her son's driving. Put down the phone, stood up and said: "I'll go outside to take a look."

An Nuan also stood up and prepared to go out together.

Tan Zhaohe said: "Xiao Nuan, you sit down and let her go out to see by herself. How many times has she run out in the afternoon? It's not time yet. How can Xiao Yue and the others arrive?"

Li Yulan looked out the window: "Isn't this a bit anxious?"

Tan Xin ran over and took Li Yulan's hand: "Grandma, wait a little longer, uncle and aunt may be here soon."

Li Yulan gently stroked Tan Xin's hand and nodded in response, her attention was not in the house at all.

After a while, a whistle suddenly sounded outside.

"Uncle is back!" Tan Xin suddenly shouted loudly.

Li Yulan hurriedly got up and walked out, followed by Tan Zhaohe.

An Nuan walked at the end and couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene.

She always thought that Tan Zhaohe was very calm, but she didn't expect that what she saw was just the surface.

The car stopped at the door.

Tan Yue got out of the car.

"Uncle!" Tan Xin rushed over.

Tan Yue picked up Tan Xin and said, "In two years, uncle will not be able to hold you anymore!"

"Tan Xin, come down quickly and let your uncle put on his coat." An Nuan reminded.

"It's okay, sister-in-law."

"Uncle, let me get down quickly, it's too cold outside, you put on your clothes first."

On the other side, Chen Ziyu got out of the car and greeted: "Auntie, uncle."

Li Yulan said: "Put on your clothes first, it's cold outside."

"Okay, auntie." Chen Ziyu couldn't help shivering a little.

"Ziyu." An Nuan said.

"Sister-in-law."

"Tan Xin, come and say hello to Auntie."

"Hello, Auntie!"

"Xinxin is getting more and more beautiful. She has grown so tall this year. I wonder if the clothes I bought for you still fit you?"

"Zi Yu, why are you spending money to buy her things again?"

"It's the New Year. Adults are happy, and children should be happy too."

Li Yulan took Chen Zi Yu's hand and said, "Let's go back to the room first. It's warm inside."

Tan Yue consciously said, "You go back first. Leave the things in the car to me."

"And me." Tan Xin raised her hand.

Tan Yue said, "Since you are helping, I will buy you a lollipop later."

Tan Xin sat there with a grimace and said, "Lollipops are for children. I don't eat them."

"I remember you cried and asked me to buy you a lollipop last year."

"Not me."

Amid laughter, everyone entered the room.
