During the Spring Festival last year, when Chu Tianqi and his brothers greeted the elders in the village, they encountered embarrassment - the villagers said that they couldn't bear it, so their father said "don't go next year". Therefore, on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, the brothers did not go out. But before the Spring Festival, Chu Tianqi still went to many elders' homes, brought a small "heart", and also sent blessings.

While waiting to eat dumplings, Yangmei called the landline at home, which was answered by Chu Yuliang.

On the phone, Yang Mei specially gave New Year's greetings to "Dad", "Mom", "Brother", "Sister", "Brother-in-law", and "Niuniu", and also said that she would come to see everyone on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It was Chu Yuliang who started to answer the phone, and then handed it over to You Chunmei, and Yangmei wanted to pay New Year's greetings to "Mom".

Although You Chunmei usually has a lot of complaints, when the "daughter-in-law" said New Year's greetings on the other end of the phone, You Chunmei spoke very politely, and she greeted her in-laws and wished her family a happy family.

When You Chunmei put down the phone, Niuniu spoke: "Grandma, has the 'second aunt' given me a New Year's greeting?"

"Worship, worship, and ask you specifically. You Chunmei smiled: "Children should give New Year's greetings to adults." ”

"Of course, I want to pay New Year's greetings to the 'second aunt', but not on the phone, but in person, so that I can get the New Year's money in person, otherwise there will be one less. Niuniu sighed, "Hey, I have too few uncles, it would be great if I had a few more uncles, aunts, aunts, and uncles." ”

"You're a little money junkie. You Chunmei pointed to her granddaughter, "We have given you New Year's money, is it too little?"

"Who would think that there is a lot of money? Isn't that a fool?" Niuniu Zhenzhen said, "Let's face the reality, my uncle is less, I can only expect them to give more and more year by year, and I don't know how much the 'second aunt' can give." The main reason is that the uncle is too inactive, if he and the 'eldest aunt' got married at that time, I would have taken more money for the New Year. 'Auntie' is so good to me, she buys me a lot of delicious food every time, and the New Year's money is definitely indispensable. 'Big Aunt' was the township leader at that time, and now she must be more ......."

"Niuniu, you talk a lot. Chu Lijuan walked into the back room with dumplings and interrupted her daughter, "Let's eat." ”

Everyone knows that the "aunt" in Niuniu's mouth refers to Ning Junqi. Chu Lijuan was worried about causing her eldest brother's sadness, so she stopped her daughter from continuing.

Niuniu's words naturally aroused Chu Tianqi's thoughts, but it was not sad, but more worrying, worrying about the sweetheart he hadn't seen for more than three years.

"Uncle, look at my mother, she doesn't even let me speak. Niuniu pouted, very aggrieved.

"Niuniu, don't you still think that you have less money for the New Year? Then I'll give you another one. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi took out two hundred-yuan bills and handed them over, "Give me another New Year's greeting." ”

Niuniu immediately "turned cloudy": "Uncle......"

"Niu Niu, don't ask for it again. Chu Lijuan scolded, "How can I ask for double portions again?"

"Eldest sister, as for being so fierce, child!" As he spoke, Chu Tianqi stuffed two hundred yuan to his niece, "Don't listen to your mother." ”

looked at her mother, and seeing that her mother did not continue to reprimand, Niuniu grabbed the banknote, and immediately smiled on her face: "Thank you, uncle." Then leaned over Chu Tianqi's ear, "Happy New Year, aunt." ”

"You little naughty. Chu Tianqi patted Niuniu on the back.

"Giggles", Niu Niu laughed and jumped away.

With such a "little episode", the Chu family happily ate dumplings again.

I never thought that the brothers didn't go out this year, but there were a lot of people who came to pay New Year's greetings, and before they finished eating dumplings, people began to come. Most of these people are the younger generations in the village, and they are about the same age or younger than the brothers of the Chu family. Of course, the objects of New Year's greetings are mainly uncles and aunts, but they will always chat with "Brother Tianqi", "Brother Tianqi" or "Uncle Tianqi" for a while. Although my father has treated the villagers over the years and is very popular in the village, there are very few people who come to visit the New Year during the Spring Festival, and only after he became an official. Chu Tianqi understood that most of these people who came were aiming at him. Maybe it's because I didn't go out this year, but there are a lot more people paying New Year's greetings.

During the New Year's greetings, the mobile phone almost did not stop for a moment, one moment of calling, one moment of text messages, and of course, some people called the fixed phone at home.

Chu Tianqi was very busy while greeting the New Year's greeters and dealing with phone calls and text messages.

Near noon, the mobile phone rang two more short sounds of "Di Di".

Chu Tianqi took the mobile phone and looked at the text message on it: Tianqi, Happy New Year! I wish the whole family a happy Spring Festival and good health!

The content of today's text message, the theme is to wish the Spring Festival and wish good health, this text message is nothing special, and it is also very bland. Chu Tianqi flipped through the numbers on it casually, wanting to confirm who sent it.

This number is not stored on the phone, and the number is unfamiliar. In the past few days, I have received hundreds of text messages, and there are no less than a dozen unfamiliar numbers, some of which are not stored by themselves, and some of which are sent by mistake. Chu Tianqi replied with a blessing text message with similar content in accordance with the practice of receiving text messages: The most beautiful blessing is sent to you, I wish you all the best wishes, and I wish you and your family good health. After Chu Tianqi finished sending a text message, he continued to chat with the visitor.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the New Year's greetings disappeared for the time being, and the family was able to talk about the short things in the family.

"Didi" two text messages music sounded.

Chu Tianqi took the mobile phone and found that it was sent by Jiang Xia, so he also sent sincere wishes to the other party.

After sending the text message, Chu Tianqi casually flipped through the messages on his phone, ready to start deleting them. In the process of flipping, he saw the bland text message again, and the unfamiliar number. Seeing this number and text message again, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but wonder: Whose number is this?

The reason for the confusion is that this strange number did not reply again. Most of the other unfamiliar numbers will report their homes in the text messages, and they are all direct or indirect subordinates of Chu Tianqi. After receiving Mayor Chu's reply, those numbers will quickly reply with a text message like "Thank you Mayor Chu", but this number does not reply, and it is the only one among all unfamiliar numbers, which is very abnormal. Strange numbers take the initiative to send New Year's messages, but they can only be the number of their subordinates, and the leader will not do this, so why has this number not been replied? This is not in line with the convention.

Suddenly, Chu Tianqi thought of one thing, and thought of the message "I'm getting married". After comparison, he found that this unfamiliar number was not that number. If you look closely, this is also the number of Yanyun City, a provincial capital.

Could it be her? Chu Tianqi thought of Ning Junqi again, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, subconsciously looked at the people around him, and completely stood up the screen.

After thinking about it, Chu Tianqi sent a message to this unfamiliar number: Who are you?

After a while, there was no response.

Chu Tianqi sent another message: You didn't send it by mistake, right? My surname is Chu.

Still no response.

Although he didn't receive a text message and didn't get any response from the other party, Chu Tianqi's suspicion was still unabated.

Putting away his mobile phone, Chu Tianqi got down from the kang, put on his shoes and coat, walked out of the house, walked through the yard, and went to the street.

There is a smell in the clear air on the street, and red cannondust is scattered on the ground, clearly indicating today's day.

Seeing that there were no pedestrians nearby, Chu Tianqi dialed the unfamiliar number, and then pressed the phone to his ear.

"Dut...... Beep ......" echoed in his ears.

One, two......

Once, twice......

The phone first rings back continuously, and then the standard female voice: "The number you dialed is temporarily unanswered".

On the third call, after two long "beeps" in a row, it becomes a short "......beep" sound, followed by a standard female voice: "The number you dialed is on a call".

The prompt tone indicates that the other party hung up the call and the other party deliberately did not answer. Who is this person? Is it a subordinate? Absolutely not, a subordinate will not call himself "Tianqi." Then this person is very likely to be her - Ning Junqi.

"Junqi, where are you, how are you doing?" Chu Tianqi shouted silently in his heart.

"Huh", a shout sounded, startling Chu Tianqi. Looking back, it turned out to be the little niece standing not far behind him. Chu Tianqi's face turned cold on purpose: "Niuniu, what are you doing in a panic?"

"Uncle, everyone is staying at home, you run outside in the cold, your mobile phone does not leave your ears, what kind of important phone is this?" Niuniu smiled, "Could it be that there is a new 'aunt'?"

"What are you talking about?" Chu Tianqi sneered, "What does the little kid know?"

Niu Niu "giggled": "Don't coax people, if it's okay, will you be like this?"

……

Just when Chu Tianqi and Niuniu were teasing, in a place thousands of miles away, a girl was leaning on the sofa, looking at her mobile phone in a daze. After a while, the girl sat up straight and flipped out the text message again: You didn't send it by mistake, did you?

"Hey", sighed lightly, and the girl said secretly: I don't know your surname Chu? If you don't know, how can I send you a text message?

Tianqi, how are you? I know that you are now reunited with your family, and you are celebrating the New Year with joy. But do you know I'm thinking about you?

You're texting and you're calling, are you trying to find out what? Or are you trying to say something to me? What can you say? Can you promise me? How can you guarantee it? With question marks in your heart, two lines of tears ran down your cheeks, across your face, and down your neck. But the girl, who usually pays great attention to appearance, did not have any action to wipe her tears at this time, she didn't even have the heart to wipe it off, so she let the two trickles turn into a large small waterfall, and let the delicate face become a tear-stained "flower dog face". Compared with the incomparably bitter pain in her heart, the destruction of her facial makeup is simply insignificant, and it is simply not considered by the girl.
