Chapter 777 Spending the New Year Together
As the Spring Festival approaches, the urban reconstruction of Wangtan County is still in full swing. Even in the cold winter, as long as the wages are sufficient and the machinery and equipment are in place, construction can be started.
Ji Yuanhai has a lot to do, not only daily work, but also some arrangements during the Spring Festival, which he has to review and implement or approve after discussion at the meeting.
Therefore, he spends a lot of time every day.
However, every day after get off work, he sees that Lu Heling has not written works recently, and she holds the phone to call her sisters, and Ji Yuanhai can't help feeling a little warm.
Such a big family, contacting and running-in, everyone has paid and sacrificed, and it is not easy to get along with each other today.
This is also the reason why Ji Yuanhai is cautious every time.
Once a person with only interests and intrigues comes in, the whole family will change.
Ji Yuanhai didn't know that it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Meng Zhaoying came to Wangtan County from the provincial capital and moved into the residence of Wang Zhuyun and Liu Xianglan, which is now a three-story private villa, and met Wang Zhuyun and Liu Xianglan.
At the same time, he also met Ji Ruhu and Bai Yanan, who was still lingering in Wangtan County and wanted to see Ji Yuanhai.
On the same day, Ji Yuanhai brought Lu Heling and Ji Rukun with him.
Except for Gong Lin and Feng Xue, the family had a small reunion.
Meng Zhaoying smiled and said to Ji Yuanhai: "It doesn't matter if you asked me to come, just wait for my dad to deal with you, he is very angry!"
Ji Yuanhai was helpless and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Meng can beat you if he wants to, and scold you if he wants to."
He pulled out his precious daughter who depended on each other and raised her with great difficulty during the Chinese New Year and didn't let her spend the New Year with him. It would be strange if Meng Qi didn't get angry.
The father-in-law was a little angry, and Ji Yuanhai helped him vent his anger. As long as it was harmless, that was it.
Seeing him so "honest", Meng Zhaoying couldn't help but smile.
She looked up and saw Bai Yanan trying to get closer to Ji Yuanhai, and immediately shouted: "Yanan, come back!"
Bai Yanan came back reluctantly: "What are you doing, Zhaoying, I miss Yuanhai."
Meng Zhaoying approached her unhappily: "Both Ji Rukun and Ji Ruhu are here, how dare you?"
"Oh, wait until they fall asleep." Bai Yanan "followed the advice".
"You're hopeless. You look like you've never seen a man before!" Meng Zhaoying was in a state of headache. "Although I didn't manage you directly before, you were one of my soldiers. How could you be so useless?"
Bai Yanan smiled and said, "Report to Director Meng."
"It's not that I haven't seen other men before, but I haven't seen a man like Yuan Hai. I just like him."
Even Meng Zhaoying felt that she couldn't bear to watch, and turned her sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes away - I really don't know where this shameful woman got so much passion.
After a pause, Meng Zhaoying suddenly remembered something and turned around: "But there is one thing, Yanan, you are a little guilty."
"Did you hand over the new star film and television company in Beijing to Linlin alone? That is not your own property, and no one else is in charge. You don't help Linlin, but you just want to be with Yuanhai all day in Wangtan County."
"I tell you, if Linlin really talks about it, you have to accept the beating and punishment."
Bai Yanan didn't hesitate: "Okay, I will accept the punishment when the time comes."
"How to punish?" Meng Zhaoying asked in a low voice.
Bai Yanan whispered over, and Meng Zhaoying blushed after hearing it: "You are so stupid to say it!"
Bai Yanan smiled: "What does it matter, it's not like we haven't tried it before."
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Feng Xue and Gong Lin first went to the provincial capital, and then to the villa in Wangtan County.
The whole family finally met and reunited.
Ji Yuanhai hadn't seen Feng Xue and Gong Lin for a long time. He hugged them for a long time and really missed them.
After reminiscing about the past, Meng Zhaoying talked about her father's anger, and Feng Xue also laughed: "You don't know, I said I would go back to the provincial capital with Gong Lin for the New Year this year, and the atmosphere in our family... suddenly became like ice."
"My parents don't like to mention this matter, let alone leaving home for the New Year with Gong Lin."
"Before coming, my mother privately told me that I can play, and my family doesn't care much about me, but I must not be confused, come and never come back, or mess around with other people, for fear that I don't know what's good for me and lose my life outside."
"I made a promise, so I was able to come out with great difficulty."
Although what she said was funny, everyone could hear her embarrassment, so even if Feng Xue's temper was a little arrogant, everyone felt that they could understand.
She gave up so much and was misunderstood so much, and her dedication to Ji Yuanhai and this family was equally respectable.
When everyone was talking, Bai Yanan was a little embarrassed and approached Gong Lin: "Sister Linlin, are you busy recently?"
Gong Lin was full of question marks: "Not really busy, okay, what's wrong, do you want me to help you with something?"
"No, I apologize to you... I didn't go to Beijing to help you after I was free. Are you tired at Xinxing Film and Television Company? How about you punish me?" Bai Yanan said.
Gong Lin originally thought: After the company is on the right track, it doesn't matter whether there is a crazy girl like you? You just chant "Yuan Hai" next to my ear like chanting a sutra, how much can you help me?
But when Bai Yanan said "punishment", she immediately became interested and her eyes lit up.
"Tell me in detail, how will we punish her?"
"Just like last time?" Bai Yanan said.
Gong Lin was overjoyed: "This is good!"
While they were talking, Ji Rukun and Ji Ruhu fell asleep one after another. The family members who were talking looked at each other, some of them acted as if nothing had happened, some blushed, and some lowered their heads like water lotuses.
In this shy atmosphere, Bai Yanan said happily: "Last time I said it was a happy reunion, this time our family is really happy reunion."
The other women were all at a loss for words.
Meng Zhaoying pointed at Bai Yanan: "Yuan Hai, this crazy girl is in your hands!"
Not only was Bai Yanan not embarrassed, but she thanked all the sisters, rushed over and hugged Ji Yuanhai and clung to her.
Seeing her like this, Ji Yuanhai had no choice but to hug her and walk into the house.
After more than an hour, Gong Lin estimated that it was almost time, so she took Feng Xue's hand and walked into the house.
Bai Yanan still had some punishment waiting for her.
The others looked at each other and walked in one after another.
It was bright, Ji Yuanhai helped his family to get dressed, clean up, and get up to look back.
This time, it was a real sense of accomplishment for a man.
The delicacies were spread out, and the delicious food was spread out. Who could not feel a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart when he put several big meals on the same platform and devoured them?
On New Year's Eve, Ji Yuanhai's family was in Wangtan County. They did not go to the provincial capital, nor did they return to their hometown in Qingshan County. They just spent the New Year here.
This will not be their home in the future, but at this moment it is their home.
On this day, Ji Yuanhai and the seven women in the family were not busy with anything else. They concentrated on preparing for the New Year and playing with Ji Rukun and Ji Ruhu.
Feng Xue is from Beijing, and Bai Yanan is from Jixiang Province. The customs of celebrating the New Year are very different from those in Heshan Province.
In Heshan Province, Meng Zhaoying, Lu Heling, Gong Lin, three girls from the provincial capital, have some different New Year customs from Wang Zhuyun and Liu Xianglan from Qingshan County.
Even in Qingshan County, Wang Zhuyun from the county town and Liu Xianglan from the countryside have subtle differences.
In this comparison, it is true that every ten miles has different customs and every hundred miles has different customs.
They are not stubborn and awkward middle-aged and elderly people who have to not give in on some customs, get red in the face, and even quarrel and hurt the harmony; they discuss with each other to do something that everyone is willing to accept.
For example, a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, such as making some dumplings, and preparing some glutinous rice balls for the New Year in Jixiang Province...
Ji Yuanhai played with Ji Rukun and Ji Ruhu, setting off firecrackers, fireworks, playing with toys, and eating snacks.
The faces of these two children are very similar to his, and they are also very smart and obedient.
For example, the adults told them not to tell outsiders about the number of aunts in the family, so they really didn't say anything at such a young age.
The family had fun all day and sat together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner at night.
After dinner, Bai Yanan wanted to lie in Ji Yuanhai's arms, but Feng Xue pulled her away unhappily: "Yanan, I can't let you eat alone."
As he spoke, he pulled the gentle and smiling Lu Heling over with one hand and put her in Ji Yuanhai's arms, and held Ji Yuanhai's hand with the other hand and sat on the other side of Ji Yuanhai.
"That's great. How great would it be if our family could be like this every day?"
"If we don't have a job, it would be a bit too indulgent and easy to lose control of our emotions." Ji Yuanhai said to Feng Xue with a smile, "Xue'er, how is your work now? Do you want to find a job that you are interested in?"
Feng Xue smiled and looked at Ji Yuanhai: "Is it better not to do it?"
"Where can I find such a job?"
Ji Yuanhai immediately understood: the job that Feng Xue is interested in should still be within the system.
After a brief pause, he said, "Xue'er, if you say so, I also have a way to get you back on track."
"I just don't know if you're willing."
Feng Xue was surprised: "You have a way? What way? My family doesn't have the resources to give me, and they're not going to help me."
Ji Yuanhai said, "Come to Heshan Province, there are resources here, and there are people to help you."
"Maybe the pool is a little smaller, but to be fair - even if you didn't give up, your family would focus on your brother, not you."
"So, this is also a way to get you back on track, are you willing?"
When Feng Xue heard this method, he was slightly startled at first, and then he showed a happy expression: "This seems to be really possible... Yuanhai, I came to Heshan Province to accompany you, just in time!"
