C153 (2/2)

The family had not had lunch. She knew that her brother would come this afternoon. Thus, she waited for Zi Peng's arrival.

When Lixia saw that Zi Peng had arrived, she was overjoyed. Her face was full of smiles as she climbed up her eyebrows in joy. There was no reason for her to be unhappy, because she and he had never met again after the departure of City on December 31. Besides, on the sixth of January, when he went to celebrate his mother's eightieth birthday, he had adopted her as his godmother. Normally she was his mother's son's daughter-in-law; normally his mother was her mother-in-law. However, this was all private. Only she and he would agree. But this time it was different. She was both his mother's goddaughter and his godsister. With this relationship, it undoubtedly brought him closer to her …

Lia Xia brought Zi Peng to the table and sat him down, then called for Gui Hong and Xiao Wei to come over and eat. Zipeng was sitting in the middle of the table, his eyes darting to the table, which was full of the usual dishes he couldn't eat: fried cuttlefish, stewed roosters, braised beef, returned elbows, fried chili fillets, a few fresh vegetables, and cold mixes.

After they sat down, Gui Hong greeted Zi Peng with a wide smile. Lixia poured a cup of red plum wine for Zi Peng, then another cup for herself, and Gui Hong poured himself a cup of white wine. She stood up with a big smile and said,

”Thank you second brother for coming to visit us this new year. Our family is very happy from the bottom of our hearts. second brother is a worker from now on, you can't forget about us farmers in the future, right? Come, second brother, let me toast you, I wish you a happy Spring Festival, and all the best! I wish you a successful job and a successful career! Cheers! ”

After she finished speaking, she, him, Zi Peng, and Gui Hong clinked their wine cups and drank it all at the same time.

Gui Hong drank half a cup of white wine, put down his wine cup and asked:

”second brother, how do you feel about being a worker?”

Hearing Gui Hong's question, Zi Peng smiled and said to him,

”Not bad, I feel good. I have been assigned to the second cement factory and have yet to produce it. ”

After Zipeng finished, Lixia asked:

”second brother, what job did the cement factory assign to you?”

Zi Peng answered Lixia's question while stuffing food into his mouth:

”I am very satisfied with the assignment. To be a Comptroller in the vertical kiln workshop, to be a President of the Workshop Trade Union in the workshop, and to also be a Deputy Director in the workshop. ”

After listening to Zi Peng's answer, Rizhao and Gui Hong spoke at the same time:

”Sure! After all, second brother is a material for being a cadre, no matter where you go, you will always be a cadre? ”

Zi Peng was elated when he heard the words of the couple. He took over and said:

”The cadres are not that big, but I think they are very good and very satisfied. As long as he was free, no matter how much he earned, it would be fine. I went for half a month and didn't work all day. I spent my days in the office reading newspapers. ”

At this time, Lixia poured another glass of wine for Zi Peng, and said with deep emotion.

”I was just thinking that a talented person like the second brother would be reused wherever he goes.”

Zi Peng looked at the charming smile on Lixia's face and said with emotion,

”I don't want to be a cadre, I just want a place to settle down for the rest of my life. ”After I retire, I will be satisfied with a fixed set of living expenses.”

Lixia was on the table, constantly toasting Zi Peng. In the span of an hour, Rosia and Zi Peng drank up two bottles of wine. This was the first time she had drunk so much since they had started drinking, since they had met; this was the first time since they had fallen in love.

After Zi Peng had his fill, he bade farewell to Lia Xia and Gui Hong and left for stonecrop to visit their graves. She walked him to the door and said:

”Brother, tomorrow is the first day of the first month. I'm going to visit your house to pay my respects. Please wait for me at home.”

Zi Peng stared at the burning gaze of Lixia and said sincerely:

”Sister, don't worry. I won't go anywhere tomorrow. I'll only wait at home for your arrival.”

After he finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the stonecrop …
