Chapter 10 Maintaining a clean and upright holiday atmosphere

Autumn goes to winter and Spring Festival arrives, New Year's Eve.

Chang Le and his parents sat on the warm electric heating table, eating dumplings and watching the gala.

Year after year, the atmosphere of the party remains warm and cheerful, the lighting is more gorgeous, the scene decoration is more exquisite, and the sound effect is far superior to that of the past, making it very suitable for being a BGM.

Chang Xueqin adjusted his work and changed positions, and his phone was very busy.

Text messages and phone calls came one after another with almost no downtime.

For this reason, he deliberately set his phone to vibrate mode.

You don’t need to answer some calls and you don’t need to reply to some text messages, but you must answer some calls, especially those with area codes.

"Call me to the room. Really, I won't be able to live in peace for the whole New Year." Tan Xiaoya complained after seeing Chang Xueqin making several calls in succession.

"Haha, I'm going to the study." Chang Xueqin picked up the phone and left.

Not long after Chang Xueqin entered the study, the doorbell rang.

"Who would come to visit us during the Chinese New Year?" Tan Xiaoya mumbled and opened the door to see a middle-aged man standing at the door.

The middle-aged man wore a slicked back hair and a dark cotton jacket with snowflakes on his slicked back hair and jacket. He was holding two bags of things in each hand.

Judging from the strength and posture of the hand, it should be quite heavy.

"Who are you looking for?" Tan Xiaoya didn't recognize him.

"Happy New Year! You must be Comrade Tan Xiaoya, right? I am a subordinate of County Magistrate Chang and work in the Renhe County Finance Bureau. This is his home, right?"

"Oh..." Tan Xiaoya nodded, and then shouted in the direction of the study: "Xueqin, a colleague is looking for you."

"Come in and sit down first." Tan Xiaoya said after shouting.

"Okay, thank you." The middle-aged man thanked

Chang Xueqin walked out of the study and took a look and said, "Hey, Director Chen, this is the New Year's Eve, who are you?"

"County Magistrate Chang, isn't it the Chinese New Year? I've come here to wish you a happy New Year. I wish you great success in the new year, a great future, and successive promotions!"

"Thank you, please sit down first." Chang Xueqin said: "Xiaoya, go and pour a cup of tea for Director Chen. Director Chen, you haven't eaten yet, can we?

"Thank you, County Magistrate. I came here after dinner." Director Chen put down the gift and waved his hand repeatedly.

"Okay, let me tell you this without being polite. Director Chen, you have been busy all year round. It's hard to celebrate the New Year. It's not appropriate for you to come to me when you are not at home with your wife and children."

"County Magistrate, I actually live not far away. I live in a community not far from here, about less than a kilometer away from here. It's Chinese New Year. Come here to wish you a happy New Year, and I'll leave later." Director Chen explained hurriedly.

"Oh, that's right. I accept your wish, but I'd better take back the two bags of things you brought."

"Uh..." Director Chen was stunned.

"I remember that I specifically emphasized at the pre-holiday work deployment meeting that we should maintain a fresh superior-subordinate relationship and a clean festive atmosphere during the Chinese New Year. Your financial department is also one of several important departments, and should take the lead and set an example. I didn't expect it. "A few days after I said this, Director Chen took the lead in opposing me. This is really inappropriate." Chang Xueqin's words were very direct.

"Ah? County Magistrate Chang, I don't mean to play devil's advocate. I have remembered everything you said..." Director Chen waved his hands repeatedly: "So I bought some farm specialties from my relatives back home. They are really worthless, just a little bit. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with my thoughts.”

"I just saw that you brought souvenirs. If you brought other things, you wouldn't be so polite, right?" Chang Xueqin said, "In normal times, I would definitely let you have dinner. But this is the Chinese New Year. Yes, you should take it back. You have been busy for a whole year, so seize these few days to spend time with your family, fulfill your filial piety as a child, and fulfill your responsibilities as a father and husband. That’s what I say There are so many, let’s understand and support each other.” Chang Xueqin said

Chang Xueqin said that for this reason, Director Chen couldn't force it. He could only pick up the gift again, "Then... then County Magistrate, I'm really sorry for bothering you."

"It's okay...wait a minute...Old Chen, I guess there are other people in the yard. You are here to stand in front of me, right?"

"Haha, it's hard to say, hard to say..." Director Chen smiled and acquiesced.

"Still laughing, how can you not know who are the people in the yard? Remember to talk to the others after you go out, and then they all disperse and go home to celebrate the New Year. If another one comes up, I will be really angry."

"Okay..." Director Chen shook his head and went downstairs with two bags of stuff in his hands.

As soon as I walked out of the door of the unit building, several people emerged from the vehicles parked on both sides of the road in the community, from other corridors, and from the bushes.

These people surrounded Director Chen. When they saw him carrying something in and then coming out again within a few minutes, they all asked:

"God of Wealth, what's going on with you?"

"Are you still asking? Are you so blind? The county magistrate asked me to go home early to be with my wife and children." Director Chen said angrily.

"Huh? Lao Liu, what are you holding in your hand?"

"I didn't know what to give, so I took some cigarettes, wine and tea."

"Ouch... I should let you come to Lao Liu to explore the way. I'm so embarrassed."

"What do you mean by asking me to explore the road? Please explain it clearly."

"The county magistrate said that he only allowed me to go in and sit for a while because I brought some local specialties. If you, Old Liu, go, we will have a good show."

"Uh... God of Wealth, are you really not accepting it?"

"Nonsense, why don't you, the landlord, have more face and try again."

"Forget it, no matter how much face I have, I still can't have as much face as you, the God of Wealth."

"Let's all disperse and go home to celebrate the New Year. If one more person comes up, the county magistrate may think that I am not conveying the message well."

"Let's go, let's go, that's fine, so we don't have to rack our brains every year."

"It's gone! It's gone!"

…………

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chang Le followed his parents back to his hometown in the county, Changjia Village.

Chang Le's grandfather and grandmother are no longer here. Every one or two years, the three brothers of the Chang family will meet up at their ancestral home to clean and have a meal, which proves that the Chang Xueqin family's family ties are still intact.

Changjia Village is located on the provincial highway, a two-hour drive from Linzhou, so it is not too remote.

Chang Le drove, and his parents sat in the back seat.

The car is an eighth-generation Accord. Chang Le doesn't like this car from the bottom of his heart, but he likes it very much.

The reason I don't like it is that I can't just yell and go away.

Even if it is a 5AT, even if the speed can actively respond to the throttle opening and closing, the speed cannot be increased and the driving pleasure is lacking.

But he also liked the car.

The reason he likes it is that in his previous life, this car followed him for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, from south to north, from east to west, and never lost its chain and left him in the wilderness.

In the car.

"Xueqin, sister-in-law should have told you, right?" Tan Xiaoya asked

"I told you. Last time she went to Yangcheng County to look for me, but I didn't agree. Did she also look for you?" Chang Xueqin said.

"They didn't find me, but they mentioned it many times on the phone. I will definitely mention it again today." Tan Xiaoya shook her head helplessly

"Just mention it. You don't know my sister-in-law? Just don't agree. Fortunately, my brother is reasonable." Chang Xueqin said

"Eldest brother is reasonable, but he is a strict wife and has no control over his sister-in-law." Tan Xiaoya said

"My brother is not a strict wife, nor is he unable to control his sister-in-law. He just doesn't want to quarrel with her, so as not to affect family harmony." Chang Xueqin said

"That doesn't mean the same thing?" Tan Xiaoya said

"No more talking, let's adapt to the situation." Chang Xueqin changed the subject and said to Chang Le, who was driving in the front seat:

"Lezi, you have only had your driver's license for a few months. This car is relatively stable to drive."

"Dad, this is talent."
