Chapter 167: Around the Spring Festival
The two snuggled together and didn't separate for a long time. Geng Zhiyuan didn't dare to move at all, because he was surprised to find that his body had reacted, in case Lu Yi saw his ugliness when he separated, then he would never have the face to see her again.
Lu Yi quietly pressed against her sweetheart's chest, closing her eyes and seeming to be sweet everywhere. She really wanted to go on like this forever, so she murmured: "Zhiyuan, I love you......"
Geng Zhiyuan stabilized himself and said apologetically: "I can't, I have to be worthy of Qingqing." ”
Lu Yi sensitively noticed the changes in his body, and said with a smile: "You, you're still hard-mouthed." I like that you're principled, though. My man should be different. ”
"It's over!" Geng Zhiyuan said secretly in frustration: "How can I resist the temptation? Men become bad when they are rich, am I going to become bad too?"
Seeing that his to resist temptation was about to collapse, Lu Yi escaped from his arms as if flying. Geng Zhiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, but Lu Yi looked at him and smiled: "Zhiyuan, you will be my man sooner or later." ”
Geng Zhiyuan reluctantly said: "Spare me, don't do this again in the future." I only love Qingqing, and I can't love anyone else. ”
Lu Yi smiled and said, "That's not necessarily, if you don't believe it, let's see." ”
On the morning of the 22nd of the lunar month, the process room of Donghai Provincial Chemical Design Institute held a year-end summary meeting as usual. Although Geng Zhiyuan was seconded to the technical quality department, he still had to participate in the summary activities of the office.
Tian Bida made an opening remark, and then everyone read their own personal summary according to the custom. Geng Zhiyuan barely did any projects last year, and he finished reading out three or two sentences. Fortunately, without Jia Rui, he is not a young man who has just arrived, so no one questions his summary. Now he belongs to the almost forgotten marginal characters in the room, and even Wan Defu is indifferent to him.
In 2002, the craft room introduced ten young people who graduated from major colleges and universities, looking at their youthful and sunny and immature faces, Geng Zhiyuan suddenly had an illusion, is he a little old?
The next step is still to elect the advanced, anyway, Geng Zhiyuan is unlikely to be elected, so he simply filled in a few names. Unexpectedly, Tian Bida suddenly changed the rules, took the ballot papers to the director's office to count the votes secretly, and announced the results on the spot when he came back.
The advanced list that has not changed for many years has finally changed, and Yu Qinghe, Zeng Dayou and Wan Defu have boarded the ranks of advanced workers as new outstanding representatives. Geng Zhiyuan was surprised, only to realize that in the more than half a year since he was away, the old yellow calendar in the craft room had been renewed.
"Could it be that the three of them were instructed by their superiors and Lao Tian deliberately added them, right?" Looking at Wan Defu's triumphant face, Geng Zhiyuan suddenly guessed maliciously.
His speculation is not entirely unreasonable, and if it is a real vote count, it is enough to publicly sing the votes on the spot. Why do you have to hide from everyone and secretly calculate?
Tian Bida used to operate in the dark, and often did some unsightly pickled things in the name of nobility. The so-called fair election he held this time is probably also selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, which is not worthy of the name.
After being away from the room for a long time, even sitting at my desk, there is still a sense of strangeness. Geng Zhiyuan suddenly felt that the work of the design institute was a little boring, and he had the idea of quitting his job and leaving the business world.
"Hold it down, wait a minute. He secretly relieved: "I am only an engineer now, and I am not too rich in design experience, at least until 2007, after winning the title of senior engineer, I will not make plans." If at that time, Yang Wenge is still in power, I have nothing to do, and it is not too late to resign and leave. ”
The next day was the twenty-third year of the lunar month, and Geng Zhiyuan drove Su Qing, Liu Yan, Liu Jun and Chen Feng to the airport. On the occasion of parting, Su Qing said to her boyfriend: "Zhiyuan, I have to follow you home for the New Year next year." My mother will only be able to spend the Spring Festival alone in the future, so I want to stay with her in my hometown for a while more this year, do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, why not. Geng Zhiyuan said generously: "In the future, I will not let my mother celebrate the New Year alone, just take her home with her, and we don't have nowhere to live." ”
Su Qing suddenly realized: "Yes, we have our own house in Liangcheng, how can I forget it?"
"Go back and have a good Spring Festival, don't hang on to me. ”
The two whispered for a while, and then they were reluctant to part. Seeing Su Qing's figure disappear at the security checkpoint, Geng Zhiyuan's heart was already gloomy. He is used to being with his girlfriend every day, and once he leaves her, it is very uncomfortable to feel like he is missing half of his heart.
Perhaps, this is the so-called love in the world!
During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Goat, Geng Zhiyuan still had no taste. On Chinese New Year's Eve, he was bored and sent by God to call Wei Xiao to greet the New Year. Wei Xiao glanced at the cute baby sleeping on the small bed, and picked up the phone casually.
"Xiaoxiao, Happy New Year!" Geng Zhiyuan said in a trembling voice.
Wei Xiao said gently: "Zhiyuan, you also have a good New Year!"
After being silent for a while, Geng Zhiyuan said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
Wei Xiao saw his son turn over, and hurriedly leaned over and patted him gently, "I'm fine, what about you?"
Geng Zhiyuan always felt that he had something to say, but when he got through the phone, he found that he couldn't say anything, so he could only say, "I...... It's pretty good, too. ”
Wei Xiao could imagine Geng Zhiyuan's nervousness and expectations at this time, and said with a smile: "Zhiyuan, don't be too strict with yourself, some things are casual, isn't that what people do in this life?"
"Tomorrow, can I go to your house to pay New Year's greetings?" Geng Zhiyuan didn't know why he made such an unbelievable request, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't get it back if he wanted to.
Wei Xiao couldn't help but bow his head and kiss his son's tender face, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm not at home tomorrow, don't come." ”
"Oh...... Oh well, goodbye. Geng Zhiyuan hung up the phone in disappointment.
Wei Xiao looked at the mobile phone in his hand, shook his head slightly, and said, "Chenchen, I actually rejected your father, aren't you angry with me?"
The sleeping son snorted unconsciously, and Wei Xiaoying smiled: "Chenchen is right, it's not time to see his father yet, what a good baby who loves his mother!"
In 2003, there were not many families with private cars, although Geng Zhiyuan drove back only a small POLO, which still aroused a lot of envious eyes, and also made Geng Huaiguo and his wife have more face.
The old residence of the Geng family is located in the center of the old city, on the same street as the old county government, and there are mostly houses and buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties nearby. Walking into it, as if he was in the old time, Geng Zhiyuan's heart moved, and he said secretly: "If this piece of the old county government is excavated and packaged like the old town of Lijiang, wouldn't it also become a tourist attraction?"
There is a saying that there is no lack of beauty in the world, but a lack of eyes to find beauty. Geng Zhiyuan had a thought, so he walked slowly along the familiar streets and alleys of his childhood. Archways, gatehouses, statues, carved flowers, and even rockery pavilions, all the way through the scenery found all the way.
The antique old streets and alleys of the Ming and Qing dynasties, if you can carefully package and publicize it, it will definitely be a hit.
"Alas, it's a pity......" Geng Zhiyuan said softly, even if he knew the boundless value hidden in this street and alley, he had no ability to dig it out, so he could only let it hide in the smoke.
On the third day of junior high school, Geng Zhiyuan went to Sister Yan's house to ask about Wei Xiao's current situation. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Wei Xiao's polite refusal made him suspicious, could it be that Wei Xiao was already married? Otherwise, why was Chu Yi not at home, maybe he followed her husband to her mother-in-law's house.
Full of doubts and apprehension, he had just said his question to Sister Yan, and Geng Yan's face immediately changed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Wei Xiao only has you in her heart, how can she be good with other men?"
"Then why is she ......?"
Geng Yan hurriedly interrupted: "Maybe people really have something, don't forget that people also have to go to their grandparents' houses to pay New Year's greetings." ”
"That'...... All right. Sister's sworn words made Geng Zhiyuan always feel that something was wrong, but Wei Xiao is now Geng Yan's subordinate, and the credibility of his sister's words should still be very high.
Finally managed to reach the fifth day of the new year, Geng Zhiyuan got in the car and rushed back to the provincial capital. Originally, Lu Yi called and wanted to take his car back to Ningcheng together, but Geng Zhiyuan was most afraid of seeing her now, not to mention being alone with men and widows. In order to avoid extraneous branches, Geng Zhiyuan had to politely decline and drove back to the provincial capital alone.
The Provincial Chemical Design Institute's 9,000 certification work is nearing the end, after the eighth day of work, Han Yingjie specially asked Geng Zhiyuan's personal opinion, whether he is willing to continue to stay in the technical quality department, or willing to return to the process room.
Geng Zhiyuan said without hesitation: "I want to go back to the craft room to do my old job." Although the technical quality department is idle, it is not challenging, and I still want to engage in front-line technical work. ”
Geng Zhiyuan's attitude is not surprising, after all, young people stay in the technical quality department too early and have no future. Han Yingjie had no choice but to say, "Okay, I respect your personal wishes." When I get back in the room, I try to take on some new projects and learn some new techniques. ”
However, when Geng Zhiyuan returned to the craft room, he was surprised to find that he had no place. It turned out that after the Spring Festival, the craft room was adjusted again, and the 707 office was replaced by Kou Wanshan, Shen Debang and three young people who didn't know each other. Chen Ying gave up her technical job and was transferred to the union to assist Chairman Yin. Liu Mei took maternity leave and was absent for at least half a year.
Although the craft room was large, Geng Zhiyuan couldn't find a place to stay. In desperation, he could only go to the director to ask, Tian Bida thought that Geng Zhiyuan would definitely stay in the technical quality department, but he never expected this kid to turn back.
Tian Bida thought about it, so he could only temporarily arrange him to the 719 office where he was at the beginning. The 719 office has also been discontinued, Lin Yin and Wang Ping have been transferred to other offices, leaving only Xia Su and her three students, leaving Geng Zhiyuan only in the corner where the miscellaneous items were originally stacked.
The three strange young men under Xia Su have a lot of backgrounds, and all of them are master's students who graduated from prestigious universities in the past two years. They are not familiar with Geng Zhiyuan, and they have only met once at the summary meeting. The three of them looked at him with a young face, and learned that he was only a graduate of Donghai University of Technology, and they were so arrogant that they worked together to exclude him.
This society is really realistic.
