C86 That unforgettable Spring Festival (1/2)

”Haha …” I couldn't help but laugh. ”Damn, it's not good for me to work as a reporter for a newspaper. To think that you, as someone who carries the limelight, would suffer a lot …”

”That's right, Mayor is hard to serve and the secretary is even harder to serve,” TV reporter continued, ”The station received an order a few days ago that from now on, both Mayor and the secretary should try their best to avoid appearing in the same scene at the same time.”

”Damn, why is it like this again?”

”Mayor is a few years older than the secretary, but he looks younger. Furthermore, he looks more handsome than the secretary …” TV reporter shook his head: ”The secretary is unhappy!”

”There really is a way!” I nodded my head. This year, I had changed a lot from being the top interviewer in Municipal Leadership.

The party ended in less than ten minutes.

That is to say, once I finish the script, I will complete today's task.

The group took a bus back to the city council building and dispersed.

Just as I was about to leave on my bike, I saw the Corydalis walking towards the office building.

Today was the first day of the new year. Why didn't Corydalis go home to celebrate the new year?

Looking at Corydalis's slightly staggering figure, my heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

”Corydalis?” I couldn't help but cry out.

When Corydalis heard me call him, he stopped and turned back.

”You?” Today is the first day, why don't you go home? You on duty today? ” I asked the Corydalis.

”Hehe …” ”I'm the only one in the family. The child went to the countryside for the new year. I was bored out there by myself, so I might as well go to the office and read some books …” Corydalis laughed and said, a look of loneliness flashed past his eyes.

There was no doubt that the Corydalis did not celebrate New Year with Liu Yue. Liu Yue spent the year alone in a foreign land.

Why didn't he go with Liu Yue to celebrate New Year's Day? Why did both of them have to endure this loneliness? I couldn't help but ask, but in the end I didn't.

”Xiao Jiang, come back after the new year, bring Xiao Xu to my house for a meal. All year round, just these few days are free …” The Corydalis said.

”Alright, Corydalis. I'll be back on the fifth day, and I'll be at work on the seventh day. Then on the sixth day, can I?”

”Alright, the sixth is the sixth. We'll meet again then!” Corydalis and I extended our hands in farewell. ”Bring me to your family's elders and wish them a happy new year!”

”Thank you, Corydalis!” I rode away.

Returning to the newspaper office, writing a script, carefully proofreading it, handing it over, I ordered a car to be used as shift and brought Qing Er back to my parents' house.

On the first day of the new year, there were very few cars on the road. Snow covered the road, causing it to slip. It wasn't until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that they arrived home.

The driver declined the invitation to dinner and hurried back to the newspaper.

Qing Er and I walked into the house.

Upon entering, I kowtowed to my parents, who were wrapping dumplings in the main hall, as per our hometown's New Year custom. ”Dad, mom, baby give you a New Year greeting!”

Seeing that, Qing Er also hurriedly knelt down with me, and also said from behind my butt: ”Father, Mother, Qing Er pays his respects to you!”

”Ah, my son is back!” Mother came out from the living room and helped Qing Er up, ”It's snowing so heavily, and I thought you guys wouldn't be able to come back. I was feeling depressed in my heart, and now, you guys are back … Come, Qing Er, quickly enter the house, it's warm inside … ”

Qing Er and I entered the house.

”Come, children, let's make dumplings and have dinner right now,” Mother said happily. ”We're just waiting for you to come back. This is great, we can have a reunion dinner now …”

”Hee hee …” Dad, you can smoke, but don't be so frugal … However, it's better not to smoke too much. It's best if you can quit smoking … My dad used to smoke cigarettes and let me and my mom supervise, but he just quit... ”Dad, why don't you give up on smoking as well? It's not that I'm not willing to buy you a cigarette, it's just for your health …”

”Mm …” Father nodded his head: ”Father will listen to what Qing Er has to say, after the new year, Father will start to quit smoking. First, let's stop smoking and finish smoking.

”Hee hee …” Daddy is so nice! ” Qing Er praised his father.

With Qing Er's praise, Father felt a little embarrassed and stood up to help Mother cook.

After dinner, the family surrounded the brazier, chatting merrily.

Mother took out two red packets, giving them to Qing Er and I. ”Baby, Qing Er, this is mother's New Year's money, take it!”

”Mom, I'm already so old and I already have a salary. I don't need any New Year's money, I don't want it anymore!” Qing Er rejected her offer.

”Be obedient, children. No matter how old you are, in mother's eyes, you're all children!” Mother insisted.

”What about?” ”Thank you mother!” Qing Er and I received the red packet.

”Darling, tomorrow you and Qing Er should go to Qing Er's parents' home to take a look. This second day of returning home is a custom of ours, although Qing Er has not passed by, he spent his first day here. For this second day, you should bring Qing Er along to visit.” Father said.

”Eh? ”Alright!” I nodded in agreement.
