Spring Festival, one among hundreds of millions of Chinese, is the most important festival in the hearts of countless Chinese.

No matter where you are, no matter what time of day, no matter what the situation, when this holiday comes, you will always feel a sense of belonging that surrounds you.

Yes, this is a sense of identity, a sense of identity with the same culture and bloodline, and perhaps only the Chinese nation, an ancient and ever-growing race, has such a great centripetal force in the whole world.

Su Chenyu likes the Spring Festival of this era and the atmosphere of everyone celebrating the New Year in this era. Because the Spring Festival of this era not only has a superficial New Year's flavor, but also a New Year's flavor that can be immersed in the soul.

After a lot of the tasteless Spring Festival of "food" in later generations - although the streets and alleys are full of red lights and green colors, shopping malls and supermarkets are also full of all kinds of New Year's goods, and the TV is constantly reminding you how many days and hours there are until a certain party, this qiē seems to indicate that the "New Year" is coming.

But is this the real flavor of the New Year?

In his previous life, Su Chenyu felt that he could no longer find all the heartfelt "warmth and happiness" of celebrating the New Year in this era.

The New Year is not busy shopping for things to visit relatives and friends, sorting out relationships, not simply getting together as a family for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and not stupidly sitting in front of the TV watching a certain "chicken rib" party that has no appetite but can't bear to give up.

The Chinese New Year is to let you slow down after 365 days of busyness to enjoy the warmth and happiness at the end of the year with your family, it is not a hurried departure after a big meal in a five-star hotel - that is not the year.

In the past, Su Chenyu liked to go to the train station during the Spring Festival, and he liked to see the different faces of the passengers, but these different faces had a common characteristic - anxious and expectant.

He felt that only these anxious and happy faces looking forward to going home could make him smell a little "New Year's flavor" -- because they were on their way home.

Su Chenyu stood in the middle of the crowded bazaar with his arms outstretched, and the people around him who were busy buying New Year's goods were far away from him, and they all sighed in their hearts that such a good child was actually a fool.

Feng Ying, who came out of the store, saw Su Chenyu's appearance, quickly grabbed his ear, and left this "crime scene" with an embarrassed expression.

Su Chenyu was obviously very unhappy with Feng Ying's disturbance, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior, you must know that he was sniffing this strong New Year's flavor with his heart. Of course, it's just that his own way is too literary, so he can only give up his "literary and artistic youth fan" under Feng Ying's ear-twisting offensive.

In fact, Su Chenyu is also very busy these days, you must know that the Spring Festival is a good opportunity to visit relatives and friends and sort out relationships, so Su Chenyu has followed Su Zhenbang and Feng Ying around to visit relatives in the past few days.

Su Chenyu followed Su Zhenbang and Feng Ying to go to her grandmother and grandfather's house to give a gift to her, which is what a married daughter must do every year.

Later, Su Chenyu followed Su Zhenbang to the homes of several elders and friends, including Li Changjun and Tan Wei and others, these are the relationship networks that Su Zhenbang must keep in touch with.

Of course, the Su family has also been very lively these days, and Su Zhongping's "apprentices" who came to visit him came several times, and of course there were some of his old comrades-in-arms and old friends.

Today, someone from the Su family came again, but it was not a "related household", but Su Yun and Wen Zhaolin brought their children to give a gift.

Su Yun said to Shi Yuxiu, who was sitting opposite, "Mom, where are the brothers and their family going?"

"I went to Xiaoyu's godmother and father's house this morning. Shi Yuxiu said while choosing the dish in his hand.

Wen Zhaolin asked, "Big brother's gas station has been closed for the past few days?"

"Your Uncle Ye is watching there, your brother has been busy visiting relatives and friends everywhere these days. ”

Su Yun is a person who wants to be lively, and seeing that no one in the family is there, she said a little angrily: "What about my dad? Why is he not at home?"

"Your dad went to duty, and the dead girl was still angry, who knows when you will come? Shi Yuxiu knew what she meant as soon as she heard Su Yun's tone, so she scolded with a smile.

Su Yun muttered: "My brother too, it's not good to go when you go, you have to rush to today." ”

"How can your brother have time to stay at home these days, some people have to take this opportunity to walk around, and your father's old classmates and old comrades-in-arms also have to be visited by him. Shi Yuxiu looked at her daughter and said.

Shi Yuxiu said unintentionally, Wen Zhaolin listened intentionally, and there was a burst of envy and jealousy in his heart. He knows that many of his old comrades-in-arms and classmates are now in important positions everywhere, so he is very concerned about these relationships, but obviously these have nothing to do with him.

So Wen Zhaolin lit a cigarette a little sullenly, and after a while, he asked Shi Yuxiu again: "Will the eldest brother continue to work at the gas station next year?"

"The gas station must still be dry, so to make money, as for whether it is still doing anything else, I don't know. Shi Yuxiu had nothing to hide from her daughter and son-in-law, so she said truthfully.

When Su Yun heard Shi Yuxiu's words, she couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Mom, how much money has the eldest brother earned at the dry gas station in the past few months?

"Ten thousand? It should be more than that, right?" Shi Yuxiu didn't know how many there were, but he just heard Su Zhongping mention it, anyway, it's a lot.

"How much money is you?" Wen Zhaolin was really a little surprised, you must know that at that time, a 10,000-yuan household was even more rare than a millionaire in later generations.

"Almost, right?"

Su Yun looked at her husband, so she said as if she was telling a joke: "Mom, let the eldest brother take one of us too?"

Shi Yuxiu looked at Su Yun, she knew what her daughter was thinking, but she didn't break it. just said: "Xiaojie and his father are very good at that construction company, and he can't be busy with so much?"

As soon as Su Yun and Wen Zhaolin heard Shi Yuxiu's words, they knew that she was still looking for her son, so the two of them didn't have anything to say.

Su Zhenbang didn't know that Wen Zhaolin's family was in the Su family now, and their family was now at Tian Mingli's house.

It can be regarded as embarrassing for Su Chenyu, and he has to pay attention to the impact of giving a gift to his godfather with a special identity. Anyway, he didn't send anything valuable, just some vegetables from the field, grass chickens raised at home, fresh fish caught in the river, and of course, some snacks and drinks for the holidays.

Unfortunately, Tian Mingli was not at home in the morning, and the more the Chinese New Year, the busier he became, he had to participate in this meeting and that meeting, and he had to visit some staff at the grassroots level. However, although Tian Mingli was not at home, Su Chenyu's family was still given a grand reception.

Yu Yuexiu took the phone and said with a smile: "Zhenbang and Feng Ying, you sit down first, I'll call Lao Tian and ask if he has anything to do in the afternoon. ”

"Eldest sister, if Secretary Tian is busy, don't let him come back, let's sit down and leave. Su Zhenbang hurriedly said.

"How can you just sit down and leave, leave after dinner, and let Lao Tian come back and have a few drinks with you. Yu Yuexiu dialed the number and whispered: "You guys finally came once, why don't you have to entertain yourself." ”

"Eldest sister, we are not outsiders, what else do we need to entertain. Feng Ying also said.

"The phone is connected, you sit down first, and I'll ask Lao Tian. ”

Su Zhenbang and Feng Ying couldn't persuade Yu Yuexiu when they saw it, and they stopped persuading them, and the two sat in the living room with teacups and watched Yu Yuexiu make a phone call. As for Su Chenyu and Li Yuhan's two children's shoes, they had already gone to Tian Xiaolu's room.

A few minutes later, Yu Yuexiu, who had finished the call, said with a smile: "Lao Tian said that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, he would come back at noon, let's sit and chat first." ”

So, the three of them sat down and chatted for a while, and it was almost noon when Yu Yuexiu got up to ask the nanny to prepare lunch, and Feng Ying naturally wanted to go up to help. Tian Mingli didn't know if he was really okay in the afternoon, anyway, he went home before lunch.

After a brief lunch, Yu Yuexiu and Feng Ying were busy preparing dinner in the afternoon, while Tian Mingli and Su Zhenbang were smoking cigarettes and drinking tea while chatting. As for Su Chenyu's children's shoes, there are five people and six people on the side.

"Godfather, I heard that our county is engaged in the restructuring of enterprises owned by the whole people?" Su Chenyu said as he looked at the two "smoking guns" who were patronizing and smoking.

Tian Mingli glanced at Su Chenyu again, and then took another puff of cigarette before saying, "You kid still know a lot?"

"I also heard that it seems that the pressure above and below is not small, right?" said Su Chenyu uncertainly.

At this moment, Zitian Mingli was a little moved, flicked the cigarette ash, and then said, "Where did you kid hear that?"

"It seems that it should be good, at this time, the whole country has begun a years-long debate from top to bottom on the issue of the surname 'capital' or the surname 'she'. Su Chenyu said secretly in his heart: "It seems that I have to give my godfather some guidance, so that he can have a prophetic vision." ”

Su Zhenbang saw that Tian Mingli shouted Su Chenyu a few times and was stunned, so he said, "Hey, what do you kid think?

"Oh, nothing. I was thinking about what Grandpa Wang said. Su Chenyu said on the donkey under the slope.

Su Zhenbang asked, "That Grandpa Wang?"

"It's Grandpa's old comrade-in-arms, the one we went there the other day. ”

Only then did Su Zhenbang know who Su Chenyu was talking about, it was Su Zhongping's old comrade-in-arms and Wang Zhanyun, deputy secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee. So Su Zhenbang asked, "I didn't listen to what your grandfather Wang said?

"When he talked to you about our county machinery factory, he didn't mean that if the efficiency of some enterprises owned by the whole people is really not good, they might as well make changes. If these enterprises and factories are allowed to lose money, it is irresponsible to the party and the people. Su Chenyu looked at Su Zhenbang with disdain, and then said leisurely.

"Yes, what's wrong?" asked Su Zhenbang without understanding it.

Su Chenyu patiently explained to his father, who has such a poor political sensitivity: "Ordinary people say it's nothing, but it's different when you stand in Grandpa Wang's position and say it. ”

At this time, Su Zhenbang suddenly realized, and thought that this was the case. At this time, he saw Tian Mingli's questioning gaze, so he said: "Grandpa Wang that Xiaoyu said is my father's old comrade-in-arms, Secretary Wang of the Municipal Party Committee. ”

"Did Secretary Wang of the Municipal Party Committee really say that?" this time Tian Mingli couldn't help but say with some emotion.

Su Zhenbang added: "Yes, Uncle Wang did say so, he is very supportive of reform." ”

Tian Mingli listened to Su Zhenbang's words, couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and took a deep puff of his cigarette. As soon as Su Chenyu saw Tian Mingli's appearance, he knew that he must be thinking about the political value of this matter in his heart, but for the sake of the two families, he decided to push it forward.

"Dad, your political sensitivity is too low. Even if we don't engage in politics in our country, we have to maintain political sensitivity at all times when we enter the business world in the future. Su Chenyu first said to Su Zhenbang.

"Although there is pressure from all sides to reform, if you look at the changes in the past few years, you can see that reform is imperative. Although there will be a lot of obstacles and difficulties, as long as the old man is still there, then the reform will definitely continue. Su Chenyu stood up, paced like an adult and said, "And you must know that we in the East China Sea have always been at the forefront of reform. ”

Tian Mingli listened to Su Chenyu's words, the essence in his eyes flashed, and then quickly disappeared, and then he fiercely pinched off the cigarette butt as if he had made up his mind......
