The Spring Festival abroad is obviously more festive than at home.

As soon as the car drove into Chinatown in downtown Toronto, it was stopped by a dragon dance team, and waited for a while until the team was far away before it could finally continue on the road. Qin Feng had only seen this kind of New Year's folk cultural performance in movies before, but in Dongou City, the main traditional program for people during the New Year was only mahjong. The car drove slowly along the main road of the community, and along the way, you could see Chinese people dressed in traditional Tang costumes, all smiling, even if it was difficult on weekdays, they were all sincerely changing into the joy of the festival. The car drove past a Chinese shopping mall, Hou Kaijuan pointed out the window and excitedly shouted CCTV, Qin Feng turned his head to look and saw several media workers wearing CCTV uniforms, carrying cameras and interviewing passers-by.

The car drove slowly through the busiest section of the road and finally stopped in a relatively secluded neighborhood.

A single villa that is very luxurious in the country, spread far along the road.

Qin Feng followed Guan Zhaohui out of the car, Guan Zhaohui walked to the back of the car, took out two gift bags from the trunk, and handed them to Hou Kaijuan. Qin Feng glanced down and saw that there were two bottles of Moutai in the bag, and then silently followed Guan Chaohui's mother and son, and walked towards the nearest room.

In the courtyard outside the house, a thick layer of snow had accumulated, and a half-man-wide path had been left in the middle, which should have obviously been cleared in the morning. The three of them walked to the door, and Guan Chaohui rang the doorbell. After waiting for half a minute, the door opened, and the door was opened by an old man in his sixties, seeing Guan Chaohui, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was the Dongou City dialect that made Qin Feng feel extremely cordial: "After waiting for you for a long time, I know that you will come over today." ”

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" Guan Chaohui said with a smile, turned his head and said to Qin Feng again, "Open the book and give the companion to Ah Gong." ”

Companion means gift. Children born in Dongou City after 2000 basically don't use this word much, and if they want to divide the language level, "hand" should belong to the eighth-level vocabulary of Dongou dialect.

Qin Feng hurriedly handed over a pair of Moutai hands and said Happy New Year with a smile.

"Alright, alright, let's come in first." The old man smiled and accepted the gifts, and welcomed the three into the house.

The house is not small, but the decoration is unpretentious.

The three of them sat down, and the old man didn't make a cup of tea, pointing at Qin Feng and asking Guan Chaohui, "Whose family is this child?" ”

"My family." Guan Zhaohui smiled unpretentiously and said, "The son I just recognized this year." ”

Qin Feng silently turned his head to look at her, and had an unspeakable resistance to Guan Chaohui's unilateral declaration that I am your mother - although it is true that he has lacked maternal love since he was a child, he really does not lack a mother now!

Qin Feng endured it and did not deny it on the spot, so as not to make Guan Chaohui unable to come to the stage.

Guan Chaohui then blew with the old man for a while, in front of Qin Feng, praising how smart and capable Qin Feng was, Rao is Qin Feng was extremely thick-skinned, and he was also a little embarrassed by Guan Chaohui, and interjected again and again that it was not so good, it was luck. But in this way, the little monkey sitting next to him is not happy. Hou Kaijuan pouted in taste, and he could hang a soy sauce bottle on it in minutes.

After chatting for about 20 minutes, Guan Zhaohui looked at the time, and finally got up to say goodbye to the old man before Hou Kaijuan's jealousy exploded.

The old man didn't mean to leave Guan Chaohui to eat, so he took out two red envelopes and handed them to Qin Feng and Hou Kaijuan.

Back in the car outside, Hou Kaijuan immediately opened the red envelope and took out a large Canadian dollar bill with a face value of 1,000 yuan from inside.

Qin Feng, the turtle, saw a thousand-dollar banknote for the first time in his life, he was stunned at first, and then quickly opened his red envelope, and the things in the red envelope were really treated equally, took out the ticket, and sighed softly: "1,000 Canadian dollars...... What is the current exchange rate? ”

"It's about 1 to 5 with the yuan, 1 Canadian dollar for 5 yuan." Guan Chaohui said.

Qin Feng continued to sigh unproductively: "Then these two red envelopes, aren't they 10,000 yuan?" That's too generous, isn't it? ”

"What is this money?" Hou Kaijuan looked at Qin Fengdao with contempt, "That pair of Moutai just now is at least tens of thousands, and there is a big red envelope under Moutai!" My mom gave him a lot more than he gave us! ”

Qin Feng still didn't understand what the old man was doing, but he didn't ask what he shouldn't ask, nodded, and put away the red envelope.

Two hours later, Guan Zhaohui took Qin Feng to meet three other people, who were a few years younger than the old man, but at least in their 50s. The process is still to give gifts, say hello, and greet, not much to say, mainly a heart.

It was like rushing until 11 o'clock at noon, and Guan Chaohui finally said that he had seen all the people he should see and wanted to go home for dinner. But instead of heading to a big farm in the suburbs, the car drove in the opposite direction, into a wealthy area of Toronto. As soon as the car stopped, Hou Kaijuan ran down and ran towards the townhouse not far away. Outside the gate of the villa, there stood an elderly Chinese woman at least seventy or eighty years old with white hair. Hou Kaijuan rushed forward, threw himself into the old woman's arms, and shouted, "Grandma! ”

Qin Feng was stunned and looked at Guan Chaohui.

Guan Chaohui smiled slightly and said, "My aunt." ”

……

Guan Chaohui's aunt is the sister of General Guan. The husband of this old lady Guan, who held an important position in the Dongou area after liberation, was criticized as a rightist during the ten years of turmoil, but finally survived. Later, when he was rehabilitated, he was transferred to work in other provinces, and when he retired in the early 90s, he was already at the level of deputy minister. It's just that the old man probably worked hard for his life, and he died of illness within a few years of his leisure life after retirement. In this way, Mrs. Guan had few relatives in China at that time, almost all of her peers had died, and she herself had no children, so as soon as the old man left, she simply went abroad to support the elderly. Guan Zhaohui and Hou Juyi have a way abroad, so they easily took Mrs. Guan to Toronto, hired two Filipino nannies for her, and contacted local doctors and lawyers. Usually every year during the Chinese New Year, Guan Zhaohui will come over to accompany the old lady for a few days, but it is a pity that Guan Zhaohui and her eldest brother, that is, Guan Yanping and his uncle, due to the relationship between their jobs, they will definitely not be able to come over to see the old lady before retirement. And at the old lady's age, I can't see the last one in the future. The task of taking care of the old lady will most likely fall on Guan Yanping in the future - poor Guan Yanping's baby, the dignified red third generation + rich second generation, just because he has little study, he is either a security guard or a nanny now, and I am afraid no one will believe this tragedy.

Guan Zhaohui's introduction of Qin Feng this time was not as exaggerated as just now, and he basically had one thing to say.

The old lady has been through ups and downs for a long time, and has seen a lot of cattle people, after listening to Guan Chaohui, she said to Qin Feng very kindly: "Young people, you still have to learn more and see more, talk less and do more, walk around more, see more different places, and contact different people, theory is theory, no matter how smart and capable people are, if you don't go to the bottom and don't personally contact the ideas of people from all walks of life, it is impossible to do things well." Especially like you now, you are only 18 years old this year, if you can make your career bigger, then this society will soon have a lot of things for you to be responsible for.

I don't understand the high-tech you are doing now, but you have to remember that your career is not your career alone, if your career will affect 100 people in the future, you will be responsible for these 100 people, and if it will affect 10,000 people in the future, you will be responsible for these 10,000 people. This responsibility does not mean that you have to feed and clothe them, but you have to make sure that these people are not hurt because of your relationship. Whether you are a person or a worker, you must think more for others, so that everyone can collect firewood and the flame is high, so that the cause can become bigger and bigger......"

Qin Feng pretended to be his grandson and listened honestly, and when the old lady finished speaking, he hurriedly said that he would definitely put the three watches in place.

The old lady smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you wear a watch or not, the key is to do things worthy of your conscience." ”

"Well, I get that." Qin Feng nodded seriously.

I ate lunch for nearly 1 hour.

After lunch, Guan Chaohui talked with the old lady for a while, and when the old lady was about to take a lunch break, he took Qin Feng and the little monkey back.

On the way home, Guan Zhaohui took the initiative to talk to Qin Feng about the old men during the day, "Those are your uncle's old colleagues, and now they can't go back to China, and the Americans have banned a few of them from entering the country, so they can only retire in Canada." In the future, when your uncle and I retire, if they are still there, their pensions will be counted on you. ”

Qin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "They are not very old, at least they can live for another twenty or thirty years......

"Alas...... It's hard to say. These people had all suffered major gunshot wounds before, and they were all rescued with great difficulty, and they were definitely injured. When you get a few years older, you may have something wrong with your body at some point......" Guan Chaohui sighed.

Qin Feng felt as if he had heard something he shouldn't have heard, and subconsciously made a small movement and pursed his lips.

……

In the afternoon, the group went to the Royal Ontario Museum in downtown Toronto. The reason is that Hou Kaijuan's teacher in his class assigned a winter vacation homework, asking parents to take their children to the museum and then write a piece of experience. Although Hou Kaijuan's current Dongou Foreign Chinese junior high school is basically rich in students' families, this kind of money is relative after all. For example, Qin Miao's kid is Hou Kaijuan's classmate - if you compare Qin Jianye with Hou Juyi, then there is no comparison at all. So for a winter vacation homework, Guan Zhaohui went to a foreign museum, and Guan Zhaohui was enough. Ordinary students are obviously more likely to go to the Dongou City Museum. At most, that is, to go to the Forbidden City to see.

Qin Feng accompanied Hou Kaijuan around the museum for an afternoon, and when he returned to the farm manor, it was already evening.

Hou Juyi obviously won't come back today, with the lack of a male host, Qin Feng's psychological oppression has weakened a lot.

One day outside, Qin Feng returned to his room physically and mentally exhausted, and threw himself directly on the bed to pretend to be a corpse.

But after squinting for a while, the phone suddenly rang.

"Ah......" Qin Feng struggled to take the phone out of his pants, and when he saw that it was Qin Jianye's phone, he couldn't help frowning deeply.

I rub! This point...... It's early in the morning, right?

Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone and said, "Hey, uncle, what's the matter?" You're up so early, huh? ”

"Ah, haha, are you old, you can't sleep in the morning." Qin Jianye's voice sounded quite normal, not like he was drunk, and it didn't look like he was looking for death or something, "I just wanted to ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Qin Feng asked.

"It's nothing ......" Qin Jianye obviously had nothing to say, "It's just that in the past two days, I saw someone on the Internet say that you were fired from Weibo, is it true?" Yesterday, Lu Jianbo called me and asked me about you. ”

"Say I'm expelled?" Qin Feng was a little confused and said, "No, who said that?" ”

"I don't know who said that." Qin Jianye said, "Anyway, there are a lot of people talking about it." ”

"Then I'll go up and have a look." Qin Feng walked to the computer desk and opened the notebook.

Qin Jianye finally asked again at this time: "Ah Feng, when will you come back?" Zhang Zhaoping said that when you come back, find a chance for the three of us to meet with Xu Ju in the city. ”

"Xu Ju?" Qin Feng was stunned, "You said Xu Yiguang, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." Qin Jianye unconsciously bent over on the other end of the phone, and said with a sneer on his face, "Lao Zhang said that you have a big face, and the two of us are really a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee." ”

Qin Feng is not a bad pen, this kind of thing must not be directly agreed, and said perfunctorily: "There are quite a lot of things on my side, when I will come back, this time may not be known, we will discuss this matter then." ”

I hung up the phone, and the laptop was already turned on.

Qin Feng directly opened Baidu, typed in his name, and immediately popped up a lot of news about his failure to attend the Weibo ceremony, being expelled from Weibo.com, and cheating at the train station.

Clicking on one of the news, Qin Feng quickly browsed it, and saw at a glance that there was an Internet promoter behind this matter.

After thinking about it, he didn't care that it was early in the morning at 5 o'clock in the morning, so he called Qi Sili directly.

After Qi Sili was woken up by Qin Feng, her temper was so big that she was going to die, and she obviously couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Qin, what urgent matter can't you call later?" If I have skin problems in the future, I'll have to settle accounts with you. ”

Qin Feng didn't talk to her, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Qi, is anyone messing with me recently?" ”

"you? Isn't it in line with your company's hype? Qi Sili was confused, "You don't know about the hype planned by your company?" ”

"We planned it?" Qin Feng was stunned.

"yes, I received all the money yesterday." Qi Sili said, "Mr. Qin, you shouldn't have really been set aside, right?" ”

Qin Feng thought about it and suddenly realized.

It is estimated that Hou Juyi directly skipped him and gave instructions to Zhao Xiaozhou or Liu Huipu.

Then this is not hype, at most it is a warm-up of public opinion.

"Hmm...... Okay, I know. Qin Feng said, "Mr. Qi, I'm disturbing your rest." ”

"Mr. Qin, don't be discouraged, the overhead is overhead, it's a common thing. Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, no one really wants you, you can come to my side, if you are willing to come, my sister will let you be the CEO! Qi Sili, who was dozing off a second ago, woke up completely now, and was so excited to think that she could dig Qin Feng over.

Qin Feng smiled, said something to see the situation, and ended the call.
