In the nineties of the twentieth century, when there were no modern means of audio and video communication and text messages were not released, the telephone was an important communication medium, and mobile phones were even more fashionable for New Year's greetings.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there are relatively few New Year's greeting calls, and early in the morning of the Spring Festival, mobile phones and phones ring non-stop. At that time, people were far from getting tired of this kind of entertainment, but it was very fresh, and the Ding couple was even more excited and glorious.

From the beginning of the new year, my aunts and relatives came to the door to bring gifts and celebrate the New Year, and they were very close.

Although most of these relatives are snobbish, on the occasion of the festive season, the Ding couple did not mind at all, but responded warmly, warmly entertained, and generously sent out a number of red envelopes from the elders, fully enjoying the happiness of being respected. Although Ding Chi and Ding Hui are not enthusiastic enough, they are definitely not cold and polite.

After the third day of the Lunar New Year, the employees of the electronics factory, distribution agents, and major customers came to the door to greet the family of Director Ding. What is even more rare is that the labor union of the unit made a special trip to the door to congratulate Chi Shumei on the New Year. During this period, there was no shortage of unexpected blessings, such as Zhen Yingming's phone call to greet the New Year.

Being a superior person, a noble and honorable child, is the most sincere feeling of the Ding couple, and the two are tired and happy.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, under the leadership of Li Mengxue and Jiang Dali, high school classmates met to come to the door, and handsome men and beautiful women crowded the room. Compared with high school, the students are less young and shy, and more mature and cheerful, which is to speak freely, talk and laugh, the Ding family has become a sea of joy, and Ding Hui is the happiest wave.

Seeing the praise and even admiration of their sons by their classmates, the Ding couple blossomed happily and enthusiastically did logistics services for the children. Chi Shumei paid close attention to several female classmates, and deliberately got to know two of them at lunch, such as how many people are in the family, what their parents do, where they plan to work in the future, and so on.

They are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old children, so they can naturally see some clues, either pursed their lips and secretly had fun, or they stole their eyes and made Ding Chi very embarrassed, and the second girl blushed. is also blushing, but Li Mengxue is mainly shy, and there is also a hint of excitement. The other girl was embarrassed and had to state "I already have a boyfriend", which naturally caused everyone to laugh.

Despite a hint of embarrassment, Chi Shumei quickly returned to normalcy and focused all her attention on Li Mengxue. Then Li Mengxue's identity was dug up thoroughly, even if her son blocked it, it would be invalid, how could such an opportunity for censorship be easily let go? After Ding Shoucheng reminded her repeatedly, she realized that the child had not eaten, so she kept serving vegetables in her bowl.

Shy, embarrassed, sweet, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, Li Mengxue's face is red and pink, pink and red, and finally her face becomes a big red apple.

Although the whole lunch was occasionally embarrassing, the overall atmosphere was joyful and festive, and there was no lack of humor and humor.

"Ding Dong", the doorbell rang.

Ding Hui took the lead and opened the door.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, I'm here. A man walked in.

"Is that you?" Ding Chi's brows tightened suddenly.

"Zhen, Yingming, come here...... Why are you here?" Ding Shoucheng's expression changed a few times, and his tone was as calm as possible.

"Happy New Year, big brother and sister-in-law!" Zhen Yingming carried the gift box in both hands and bent down deeply.

Chi Shumei came out of the kitchen at the right time, shook it slightly, and said with a smile: "Yingming is really polite, I have made all the calls, and I even came to the door in person." That's fine, keep sincerity, hurry up and get bacon and tea, let Yingming bring it back by himself, and save you from having to send it. ”

"Yingming, it's really sad that you came here in person when you were so busy. You wait, I'll get it right away. Ding Shoucheng understood his wife's good intentions, quickly went to the balcony, took two gift bags, and exchanged the gift box in the other party's hand, "Don't delay your work, I'll go to you another day when I have time." ”

"I'm ......," Zhen Yingming said, "Aiqing is here too." ”

Zhen Aiqing: The students' expressions suddenly became exciting, and of course some people were very suspicious.

Ding and his wife glanced at each other, and "what should I do" was clearly written in their eyes.

Ding Chi said coldly: "What is she doing here......?

Chi Shumei hurriedly intercepted her son's words in a loud voice: "Yingming, I'm really sorry, let's contact another day, it's not a day to get along anyway." Today are all good classmates of Xiao Chi, and his girlfriend is also there, so let's not mix with them. ”

The girlfriend classmates all looked at Li Mengxue, and Li Mengxue lowered her head with a red face.

"Girlfriend?" Zhen Yingming's eyes wandered, scanning the girls.

"Aunt Chi, uncle, Xiaoqing has given your second elder a New Year's greeting, I wish the second elder good health and a happy New Year! I also wish Xiaochi and Xiaohui to learn and make progress, and a new harvest in the new year!" While speaking, a woman in red walked in the door, it was Zhen Yingming's daughter Zhen Aiqing.

Hearing the voice, Li Mengxue raised her head violently and stared at the woman in red vigilantly.

Embarrassed and speechless, the room was silent, a pair of puzzled or novel eyes flowed, and Ding Chi had anger in his eyes and clenched his fists.

"That, what, uncle, aunt, we should go back after bothering us for so long today. Jiang Dali spoke at the right time.

"Yes, we are preparing to leave. The other students chimed in.

"You guys, no, stay ...... longer" Chi Shumei was out of suitable words for a while.

Li Mengxue came to the front of the Ding couple and smiled slightly: "Auntie, uncle, I should go back today, and I will come to visit another day." When you have time one day, invite the second elder and Xiaohui to your home as guests, Xiaochi, you remember. ”

"Okay, Mengxue, just as we agreed. Ding Chi stepped forward and patted Li Mengxue on the shoulder.

"Hmm. With her right hand on her shoulder and arm, Li Mengxue smiled knowingly, "Auntie, uncle, Xiaohui, goodbye!"

"Uncle, aunt, Hui, gone, gone. Jiang waved his arms vigorously, greeted everyone, and grimaced at Ding Chi.

"Students, welcome to come back often in the future. Li Mengxue said in a tone of her own family, and deliberately strengthened her smile when she passed by Zhen Aiqing's side.

The classmates were gone, and only the two families were left standing in the room.

"I have to get out too. Ding Chi took a step.

"Chi, we were wrong. Zhen Aiqing said, violently took off her down jacket, and knelt on her knees, "Aunt Chi, uncle, we were wrong, and we are here to make amends today." ”

The other party's sudden move startled the Ding family, and Ding Chi also restrained his steps. Only then did they find out that Zhen Aiqing actually had a thorn tied to her body and was holding one in her hand.

"What kind of demon moth is out of the way? I'm not like Lin Xiang, and I don't have that grace, let's go. Ding Chi's eyes were full of anger, and his hands waved in annoyance.

"Xiao Chi, we were wrong, you can punish me. Zhen Aiqing knelt down and took two steps and handed over the wattle stick.

"Brother, sister-in-law, eldest nephew, niece, it was my fault from beginning to end, I was confused for a while, and Aiqing really didn't know. It's that I can't live with you, and I can't live with my daughter. Zhen Yingming's head hung lower.

Zhen Aiqing raised her head, her eyes were already full of tears, and her voice was choked: "No matter what my dad did, he was also for me, and I should admit this mistake." I don't dare to beg for your forgiveness, I just want to show my state of mind, Xiao Chi and I have been ...... since childhood"

Listening to the sobbing and crying, Ding Chi only felt that his chest was churning, his throat was sweet, and he was nauseous.

And with Zhen Aiqing's crying, Chi Shumei's expression gradually softened, and after looking at her husband, she opened her mouth: "Xiaoqing, the past is over, the relationship between you and Xiaochi's classmates will not change." You ......"

"I didn't have any classmates like that, and I never knew their families. Ding Chi understood the word "classmate" emphasized by his mother, but he still said cruel words and slammed the door and left.

……

More than half an hour later, the Zhen family father and daughter left the Ding family.

Ding Chi came out of the hideout, quickly went upstairs and went home, and asked when he entered the door, "What are you doing?"

"Crying, confessing innocence. Chi Shumei replied.

"What did you say?" Ding Chi asked.

"What else can I say, listen. Ding Shoucheng gave the answer.
