Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 170 Comrade Xiao Zhong Visits
The long and drowsy Spring Festival Gala has finally entered the countdown.

The New Year’s bell rang, and with it came the even louder sounds of fireworks and firecrackers coming from outside.

"Happy New Year!"

The family of three blessed each other in a very ceremonial manner, then took out their mobile phones and started sending blessing messages frantically.

Bai Yang naturally received a lot of messages. Almost all of his friends sent him messages on time, even his classmates who he rarely talked to, and even his classmates in the studio were no exception.

But there was no time to reply because the phone started ringing.

After looking at the number, Bai Yang returned to his room and answered the call.

Zhong Xilu's slightly smiling voice came from the other end: "Hey, the line is not busy, it seems I'm the first one!"

"Happy New Year, Xiaobai!"

"Happy New Year, Comrade Xiao Zhong." Bai Yang said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Zhong actually cared about me and called me at the first moment of the New Year. Am I so important to you?"

"Bai Yang, can you be serious?" Zhong Xilu's tone suddenly became a little angry.

It’s important or not, don’t you know?
You ask even though you know the answer! You just like teasing people!
"Okay." Bai Yang said casually, "Comrade Xiao Zhong, when will you come to my house?"

"Ah——" Zhong Xilu's voice paused: "After two days?"

She was very courageous when she first proposed this matter, but the closer she got to the moment, the more hesitant she became.

"Anyway, I've already mentioned it to my parents, so please don't stand me up," Bai Yang said.

"Then... the fourth day?" Zhong Xilu asked hesitantly, "Will it be inconvenient?"

"No." Bai Yan smiled and said, "As long as it's not the first day of the new year, it's convenient for you to come anytime."

"Okay." Perhaps out of unconscious nervousness, Zhong Xilu chatted for a few words and then hung up the phone.

Then, almost without interruption, the next call came.

"Brother Yangzi!" Wu Bo's excited voice came: "You occupied the line just now, who is faster than me?"

"Zhong Xilu." Bai Yang replied, blessing: "Happy New Year, Brother Bozi."

"Happy New Year!" Wu Bo chuckled, "So you're the squad leader, that's not surprising."

"My father just gave me a big red envelope. Brother Yangzi, when you return to the county, I will treat you to a big meal!"

Bai Yang: "That's great. Well, let's not waste any more time talking. There are other calls coming up."

"I understand. Brother Yangzi is very busy with his work." Wu Bo hung up the phone with a smile.

Then Li Yang called again:
"Is Wu Bo faster than me?"

Bai Yang: "Do we have to compete for who's better?"

Li Yang: "Damn it, if my dad hadn't called me, I would have been faster than him."

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment: "Is your father not at home?"

"I divorced my mother a long time ago." Li Yang said calmly, "I am out of town. My mother and I will spend the New Year together."

For people of this generation, it is not uncommon for their parents to divorce, or rather, it was rare for the previous generation not to divorce.

Bai Yang didn't have much to say, just chatted for a few minutes and then hung up.

Then he looked at his phone and waited for a moment.

There are no other calls.

So I found Chun Yuwan's number and called her.

After a few rings, the call was connected. The other end whimpered sleepily, "Bai Yang?"

"You're already asleep?" Bai Yan was a little surprised: "Xiao Yuwan, doesn't your family stay up all night to celebrate the New Year?"

Chun Yuwan said with a nasal tone: "They are a bunch of adults playing cards, so I don't need to stay up all night."

"Okay. Happy New Year." Bai Yang said, "Am I the first one to wish you a happy New Year?"

"Yes—" Chun Yuwan said softly, "Bai Yang, Happy New Year to you too."

"I'm so sleepy. Let me sleep a little longer."

"Good night." Bai Yang hung up the phone with a smile.

Then lie down on the bed.

I took some time to reply to all the blessing messages, and I was already feeling sleepy.

I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers while I was drowsy.

I checked my phone and it was only 5:30 in the morning.

But it was almost time to get up. Bai Yang rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room. He saw that the living room was brightly lit and You Shulian was already busy in the kitchen.

"I was thinking of calling you later." Hearing Bai Yang's footsteps, You Shulian turned her head and said, "Go wash up first. We have to go downstairs to set off fireworks later, and then we can eat."

There were already seven or eight dishes on the table, all of which were fish and meat, and it was very rich.

Bai Yang followed suit and washed up, then went to dismantle the firecrackers.

You Shulian burned some paper money and chanted some words to pay tribute to her ancestors, mostly auspicious words to bless her family with good health.

After lighting the firecrackers, the three of them sat down at the dining table amid the lively noise. In the past few days, Bai Yang's life was basically just eating. He had developed a resistance to delicious food. He ate a little quickly and returned to his room to make up for it. He didn't get up again until the sun came down and changed into a new set of clothes.

Then it was time to pay New Year's greetings. We first crossed mountains and rivers to visit my grandmother's house. In addition to Bai Yang's family, there were also my uncle, my second uncle, as well as my peers and juniors. There were more than ten people crowded in the house.

Naturally, I also received a lot of red envelopes, as well as the soul-searching questions that come every Chinese New Year.

But this year was different. Bai Dejun was beaming with joy as he boasted about Bai Yang's submission to the magazine.

And he came prepared and took out the sample magazine he had brought back earlier.

Fortunately, he did not brag about the hundreds of thousands of dollars he made from writing online articles - this is also what You Shulian repeatedly reminded others to do when she went out. After all, with so many relatives, there will be a lot of trouble, and it is inevitable that there will be things like borrowing money.

But this also made Bai Yang famous. People came around and asked him all kinds of questions, and he became the center of conversation.

After lunch, Bai Yang quickly fled.

The next few days continued with the New Year's greetings.

The children are very happy because they can get red envelopes and hang out with their peers to buy firecrackers and toy guns.

But Bai Yang's age is quite embarrassing, and he can only sit in the living room and be interrogated every time.

Think about it, in a few years, the content of the interrogation will probably change from academic performance to finding a partner.

By the time I had visited almost all the elders I needed to visit, it was already the fourth day of the New Year.

Zhong Xilu called early in the morning: "I'm going to Nanxi Town! I'm going to the Nanxi Middle School's staff building, right?"

"That's right." Bai Yang asked, "What car did you take to get here?"

"I originally wanted to take the bus, but my dad wouldn't let me, saying it was unsafe, so he asked the family driver to take me here." Zhong Xilu said with a helpless tone.

How could she not see her father's little thoughts?

"The Maybach?"

"Will it be too high-profile?" Zhong Xilu was a little worried: "How about I get off outside the school and then walk in."

"Why are you being so high-profile? It's such an honor for a rich woman like you to come to my house?" Bai Yang said nonchalantly, "Stop at the door openly! It's best to put a banner on the car window saying that you are a guest at Bai Yang's house!"

"My dad will have something to brag about in school from now on."

“Geese, geese, geese—” Zhong Xilu laughed out loud like a goose: “It’s you, classmate Xiaobai.”

"The driver has to go back after dropping me off. He will come back to pick me up after lunch. So I don't think I can stay here for long to show off to you. Next time, I will be well prepared and come back to show off to you."

She said in a narrow tone: "I promise it will be no less grand than your birthday."

"Forget it then." Bai Yang said quickly, "It's not good to be too deliberate."

Bai Dejun doesn't have the nerve to do that. He would really be so desperate that he dare not go to work.

Zhong Xilu hesitated again and said, "I don't know what gift your parents would like. My dad asked me to bring two boxes of tea and two bottles of wine."

"Change it to ordinary fruits and bring a box of milk." Bai Yang said directly: "They won't accept anything too expensive."

"That's what I thought, too." Zhong Xilu said, "However, the tea doesn't have a price tag. It's a benefit from my father's work. It shouldn't be a problem for Uncle Bai to drink it from time to time, right?"

Bai Yang thought for a moment and said, "If you don't mention my origins, it should be fine."

Specially supplied tea. This thing is not available anywhere else.

However, Bai Dejun probably wouldn't be able to tell any difference, after all, he doesn't know much about drinking tea.

After telling his parents that Zhong Xilu was on the way, Bai Dejun suddenly looked a little nervous and asked, "Is he really here? Is it just your classmate?"

"You also want her parents to come?" Bai Yang laughed and said, "Wouldn't that be a mess?"

"That's right." Bai Dejun rubbed his hands and sat on the sofa, but he couldn't sit still anymore and stood up: "This shirt has never been ironed, it's wrinkled, I'll go change my clothes."

You Shulian glanced at him and said, "With this kind of behavior, if you don't know, you would think it's your daughter-in-law coming to visit."

She wasn't nervous, after all, she didn't think about the possibility of that. She prepared the food skillfully and asked Bai Yang casually, "Can your classmate eat spicy food?"

"Her taste is similar to mine." Bai Yang smiled and said, "Just prepare it as usual."

"Okay, by the way, go pick out a few gifts from home and prepare them so you can give them back when the time comes."

While they were busy, a black Maybach stopped downstairs.

After receiving Zhong Xilu's message, Bai Yang quickly stood up and said, "I'll go downstairs to pick her up."

"We're here already?" Bai Dejun leaned over to the window and looked down, feeling a little uncomfortable: "A luxury car."

You Shulian also came over to take a look: "Mercedes-Benz, you can often see it on the streets of Shanghai."

"Student Yang Yang's family is indeed quite well off."

At this time, Bai Yang had already gone downstairs. Seeing Zhong Xilu open the car door, he came out hesitantly.

The girl didn't wrap herself up as usual today. Instead, she wore a high-waisted white down jacket and jeans. Although she looked very young, she was so afraid of cold that she started to shiver as soon as she got off the car.

Moreover, her expression was tense, her mouth was pursed into a straight line, and she looked very nervous.

Bai Yang stepped forward and tried to take the gift from her, but she refused.

"This is a gift for your parents, not for you," she emphasized.
"You have to carry it into the house yourself."
