Chapter 1136 It’s New Year Again
The transaction of exchanging shares with Samsung went smoothly. Although it was close to the end of the year, South Korea also celebrated the Spring Festival. But foreigners did not celebrate the Spring Festival, and their Christmas had been over for more than a month.
After working for a while, they gradually got rid of the laziness that entered their bodies during holidays and began to work normally step by step.
In addition, they were very interested in NetEase shares and believed that it was one of the most promising Internet companies in Asia, so the whole negotiation process was particularly active.
And Yang Dongxu was also eager to use Samsung's shares to pave the way for BMW. So he must have actively cooperated, so the negotiation was originally thought to be a protracted war.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Dongxu finally signed a contract in South Korea. Then he got on his private plane and hurried home. Tomorrow is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and if he doesn't go home, he will miss the New Year's Eve.
The temperature did not change much when flying back to Anhui Province from South Korea, because South Korea is also very cold in winter. But looking at the familiar streets and Chinese characters, as well as the rows of trees. It always gives people a very reassuring feeling.
There is no airport in Jiaocheng, and there is no airport in Fucheng. So Yang Dongxu's plane just landed in Zhucheng, and then he could take a bus home from there.
It snowed heavily before the New Year, but it didn't snow these two days and the sun came out instead. Compared with the muddy roads in the past, the freezing and thawing rhythm in winter may not be dry for the second half of the month.
The repaired asphalt roads or cement roads undoubtedly don't have this kind of trouble, and the government helps to clean the highway. Yangjia Village is a market, and everyone helps to clean it together.
So when I took a bus back from Zhucheng, except for a traffic jam at the toll gate of the highway, there was no delay in other times. However, in just less than two hours, it was rare to pass three or four toll stations.
These days, there are toll stations at the provincial borders, and there are also toll stations at the municipal borders. I even hope that the townships will also build one for you. In short, driving out has only one feeling - queuing to pay.
"Come over to drink in the evening." Yang Dongxu said to Xiaowu and Daliang.
Because there was nothing to do at home, Yang Dongxu gave Wang Sheng and others a holiday to let them go back for the New Year. After all, there is no need for bodyguards to follow behind when you return to Yangjia Village. So Xiaowu and Daliang drove to Zhucheng to pick him up.
"Of course, I've been thinking about your bottles of good wine for a long time." Xiao Wu said with a smile.
Then he opened his mouth to say something, thinking that Yang Dongxu must have talked to his sister-in-law and family when he just came back, so he politely declined the two packs of cigarettes given by Yang's father. He took one and lit it, then waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to see him off, and left with Daliang.
In fact, Yang Dongxu knew what was going on even if Xiao Wu didn't say it, after all, he was just flying around outside alone. There were still his wife, children and parents at home in Yangjia Village. When Zhou Ya and his parents called about the village, they would tell him something.
Xiao Wu didn't want to talk about anything else, but about the general.
Originally, they were scheduled to get married this year, but the SARS delayed it in the first half of the year, and they were waiting to pick a good date in the second half of the year. As a result, the woman's family made a fuss again.
I don't know how things happened so coincidentally, and we have already discussed the wedding date. Then a young man who was said to have a bright future was transferred from the county town, and I don't know how he fell in love with Zhang Jing and pursued her in various ways.
Zhang Jing liked the general, so she didn't give him a good face. But Zhang Jing's parents somehow found out about the man's family background, and they felt that their daughter was lucky. Anyway, they were very tempted.
In the end, the two sides had a very unhappy quarrel, and the general almost got into a fight with the other party in anger.
At the critical moment, Zhang Jing made a decisive decision and didn't ask for anything. She didn't even buy the three golds, and didn't let the general give the promised betrothal gifts. She packed her luggage in the dormitory and moved directly into the general's house.
For their daughter-in-law, the general's parents loved and cared about her in various ways. After Zhang Jing came, she really loved her like her own daughter.
But Zhang Jing's parents... Forget it, anyway, it's just anger. When you meet such a parent who likes to compare and keeps saying that it's for your own good, what else can you do except helpless?
After that, Zhang Jing's parents came twice, and even called the police once. They reported that the general's family had abducted women. Finally, Xiaowu and Daliang couldn't stand it anymore, so they went directly to the town and the county, found a few official friends and sat down to have a meal.
Then no one cared about Zhang Jing's parents, and they came to Yangjia Village. The general's family is also a well-known person in the market, not to mention that there are Xiaowu, Daliang, and even Yang Dongxu's family of relatives and friends to support them.
The other party could only leave in disgrace and never come back, just after such a commotion. The general originally wanted to give Zhang Jing a wedding no matter what, but Zhang Jing only took wedding photos with the general and didn't ask for anything else. The general was very distressed and wanted to make a big wedding, but Zhang Jing had a quarrel with her family and didn't agree.
This is also the reason why Yang Dongxu didn't receive a call to come back for the wedding.
Let's talk about it after drinking in the evening. Yang Dongxu smiled and hugged his son. When he was at home before, he didn't feel much when he hugged him all day.
Sometimes because of his country's noise, he often threw him to Zhou Ya to hide in peace. But after leaving for such a long time, although he listened to this guy's babbling voice on the phone every day, he still missed him.
Being held by a familiar but unfamiliar person, Xiao Wenchen stared with his big eyes and didn't feel very shy. But he didn't respond much to his father's approach, but kept looking at his mother with his head tilted. It seems that who is this person, hurry up and take me back.
"Okay, it will be fine after two days of familiarity, give it to me first." Yang's mother couldn't stand it anymore and took her eldest grandson directly. She kissed her grandson on the face and the little guy giggled.
But after leaving his father's arms, I don't know whether it was because of curiosity or because of ignorant familiarity. From time to time, he tilted his head to look at Yang Dongxu.
But at this time, his father obviously didn't care about his son, and went to hug his wife. He was pushed a few times by the blushing Zhou Ya, but he was thick-skinned and didn't get pushed away.
"I feel thinner." Zhou Ya looked at Yang Dongxu and said with some heartache.
"No, I feel I'm fatter. Now I don't know why I feel like I'm going to gain weight all the time, and my belly is up." Yang Dongxu said.
I don't know if it's because people tend to gain weight when they are around 30. In the past, Yang Dongxu didn't feel that he gained weight even though he worked out for three days and slacked off for two days.
He has been practicing diligently in the past few months, getting up every day to run and do boxing. But I have a small belly without realizing it. Who can I complain to?
"Where is the old man? Hasn't he come back yet?" Yang Dongxu let go of the shy Zhou Ya and asked.
"The house over there is built by the reservoir, and they all live there and don't want to come back. When it snowed two days ago, Grandpa Xuan insisted on getting a raincoat to go fishing in the snow, and Grandpa Sun followed suit. After being persuaded by my dad for a long time, the two of them stayed in the house to make bamboo horses for little Wenchen and didn't go out." Zhou Ya said a little angrily and amusedly.
Except for his father Zhou Yiren, who is the youngest among the three old men, he usually looks like a scholar except in front of little Wenchen.
Old men like Grandpa Sun and Grandpa Xuan, who are nearly 100 years old, are getting more and more casual as they grow older. It is said that old children are old children. Now the two are really as happy as children, and even a little willful.
"Is it cold over there?" Yang Dongxu asked a little worriedly.
"It should be fine. Before, we wanted to install an air conditioner, but the three of them said no, so we had to build a fireplace in the house. Dad missed Wenchen a few days ago, and when he took the little guy to play, he saw a lot of firewood stored in the shed behind the house.
When I came back, I told my little sister that Xiaocheng went up to check every day. At the end of the year, the farmhouse business is very good and the cook is not on holiday. If they are hungry and don’t want to cook, my little sister will go up to deliver food, no problem!" Zhou Ya said.
Yang Dongxu nodded and was completely relieved, otherwise it would be really worrying for the three old people to live at the reservoir.
"It’s just right that you are back, you can pick them up tomorrow. Xiaocheng has to do business tomorrow and rest the day after tomorrow, so don’t bother him to run back and forth." Yang’s mother, who was teasing her grandson, said.
Although he usually lives at the reservoir and doesn’t want to come back, it is obviously different during the Chinese New Year. Besides, you can't leave the farmhouse to rest. There are a lot of things there. Who knows if someone will be angry and steal things when no one is around on New Year's Eve.
So after giving the employees and the cooks a holiday, Xiaocheng prepared to pick up his parents. The family spent the New Year at the farmhouse. Anyway, his parents also helped at the farmhouse all year round, and there was nothing to worry about since the family had two acres of land.
Although my brother-in-law's family certainly didn't mind spending the New Year with Grandpa Xuan, they were two families after all. Wouldn't it be a nuisance for the three elderly people who were so happy in the family to be there?
"Okay, I know, I'll go there early tomorrow morning. It just so happens that I can pull my father-in-law back to write Spring Festival couplets." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Although he was taught strictly by Grandpa Xuan, especially by the stick, he also wrote well. But it's just that the words look good.
It looks good to outsiders, but if you let someone who knows a little see it, you will know that it's just a form without any style. Although Yang Dongxu still hasn't figured out what the style of calligraphy is, his father-in-law's calligraphy does look better than his.
So in the past few years, the Spring Festival couplets at home are basically written by his father-in-law. Occasionally, Xiaowu and a few others are bold enough to buy red paper and ask for two couplets.
Others who are not close to him are not easy to ask for, so they can only give up. Otherwise, I guess I have to be on duty at the door to deal with those who want Zhou Yiren to write couplets.
"Where is my dad?" Yang Dongxu looked around and didn't see his father.
"The daughter-in-law of the Wang family in the next village gave birth to a big fat boy this morning. Everyone in the family is very happy, so they are going to kill a pig to celebrate, but they can't kill it on the 30th tomorrow.
So they are going to kill it this morning. Your father took the other party to the pig farm to pick pigs. It's probably been slaughtered and cleaned up now. It's been a while."
