The next day, Xue Fei wanted to have a meal in the hospital, and he would take a plane back to Bingcheng in the afternoon. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but at noon, Niu Defa said that he would invite Xue Fei to dinner, and Xue Fei was so enthusiastic that he had to go to the banquet.
After eating, Niu Defa also sent Xue Fei to the airport and stayed with Xue Fei until he boarded the plane before leaving.
Back in Ice City, it is less than a month before the Chinese New Year.
At the just-concluded Bingcheng Two/Meeting, Hao Dayu was elected as the mayor of the new Bingcheng City Government, and thus jumped into the ranks of the vice provincial level.
Hao Dayu became the mayor of Bingcheng, Xue Fei did not invite him to dinner, but he invited Xue Fei to have a meal, the reason is that Hao Dayu can become the mayor, Xue Fei has made a lot of efforts, and it can even be said that he has played a decisive role, Hao Dayu naturally wants to thank Xue Fei.
Xue Fei's purpose in helping Hao Dayu was not to get anything in return, in addition to their good personal relationship and Xue Jiaqiang's relationship, another thing is that Xue Fei admires Hao Dayu very much, not only has the ability to work, but also has a good human nature, which is very rare and valuable. Xue Fei firmly believes that after Hao Dayu becomes the mayor of Bingcheng, he will definitely do a lot of good things for the 10 million people of Bingcheng. And he helped Hao Dayu, which can be regarded as an indirect contribution to Bingcheng.
Due to pregnancy, Qu Yuanyuan will be absent from the Spring Festival Gala of national television this year, and she did not stay in Jingtian or go abroad with a big belly, but came to Bingcheng, the purpose is obvious.
Qu Haibo and Ru Yun both knew that Qu Yuanyuan's two children were all Xue Fei's, and they were unhappy in their hearts, and they didn't say anything. As soon as Qu Yuanyuan came back, she ran out, not only did she turn a blind eye, Ren Yuan couldn't contact Qu Yuanyuan when she called, and when she called home, the two of them would help hide it, saying that Qu Yuanyuan went to her classmate's house, and her mobile phone couldn't get through, so there should be no power.
Qu Yuanyuan's baby has been confirmed to be pregnant with a boy, the Ren family is very happy, and Qu Yuanyuan's status in the Ren family has also been unprecedentedly improved. Qu Yuanyuan doesn't care about her status in the Ren family, she only cares that she has both children and daughters, and both children are Xue Fei's.
After staying with Xue Fei for a week, Qu Yuanyuan reluctantly returned to Jingtian, this year the Ren family is going to Australia for the Spring Festival, Qu Yuanyuan has to go back in advance to prepare, because after the Spring Festival, she will go directly to the United States, and then give birth in the United States.
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Xue Rengui and Zhang Fengxia returned to Bingcheng from the sea of clouds, and after staying overnight, they were driven to Qihe by Tong Dazhi.
This year, the Xue family spent the New Year in Qihe, and the reason why they didn't spend it in Yunhai was because Xue Fei became the vice governor, which in the eyes of Xue Rengui and Zhang Fengxia, was definitely an ancestor and virtuous, and he should go back to Qihe to worship his ancestors. In addition, returning to Qihe for the New Year is also to have more flavor of the New Year. If it is not interesting to celebrate the New Year in Qihe, then the New Year in the sea of clouds will add the word "more".
For returning to Qihe for the New Year, Xue Hui, Xue Yan, and Xue Fei are all very happy. Especially Xue Hui, because she is no longer in Ice City, she is more excited than anyone else to be able to return to Qihe for the New Year.
Cheng Jue was transferred to a group army stationed next to Jingtian as the deputy chief of staff of Beihe Province, Xue Hui did not follow Cheng Jue to Beihe Province, but in order to be closer to Cheng Jue and for the sake of the children's schooling, he went to Jingtian.
People are like this, they don't take it to heart when they are together every day, and once they are far away, they will find the preciousness of family affection.
In the past few days, there was an endless stream of people giving gifts to Xue Fei. Xue Fei who gave melons, fruits, pears and peaches or nutritional health products basically accepted them, and Xue Fei refused to accept them all when he sent money or expensive gifts, this is Xue Fei's bottom line and principle, and he will not accept anything he will not accept at any time.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Xue Fei and Xue Yan's families returned to Qihe. As soon as he arrived home, Xue Rengui took Xue Fei and Xue Yan to the grave.
The ancestral grave of the Xue family and the grave of Xue Fei's grandparents are not in the cemetery of Qihe City, but in the wasteland of a village below Qihe, if it is convenient to go in other seasons, you can go directly by car, which is only a little more than an hour's drive. It was a long time to go in winter, and when I got to a kilometer away from the cemetery, the car could not drive in, and the snow was knee-high, so I had to walk there.
The grandfather carried a bag of dark coins and a broom in his hand, and walked for a long time in the heavy snow before coming to the cemetery. Sweep away the snow that covers the graves, pour out all the coins in the bags, put a pile on each grave, light them, kneel in front of them, and burn them.
Xue Fei and Xue Yan only cared about burning paper, while Xue Rengui kept saying something in his mouth, which was nothing more than to bless their family to be safe and sound, and to bless Xue Fei and Xue Yan to be able to go smoothly in the officialdom. Especially Xue Fei, Xue Rengui hopes that he can become bigger and bigger and give the old Xue family a glorious lintel.
After worshipping the ancestors, the grandfather returned to the city.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Fengxia walked up to Xue Fei and whispered with a smile: "Son, Mayor Li has come to see you, and he has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Zhang Fengxia's heartfelt joy can only be truly experienced by those who are parents and whose children have made great achievements.
Ordinary people, let alone the mayor, will the district mayor go to his home to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year? The street director may not go. In a local city, the mayor is definitely a big man, not everyone can see it if they want to, but he came to his home to greet Xue Fei for the New Year, and brought a lot of gifts. Zhang Fengxia wanted to call Xue Fei, but Mayor Li hurriedly said no, saying that he would just wait, anyway, the New Year will be tomorrow, and there is nothing to do.
The mayor has to wait for my son, Zhang Fengxia is very happy in her heart.
Xue Fei returned to Qihe very low-key, he didn't notify anyone, he was afraid that someone would come to see him, so the mayor of Qihe knew that he was back, Xue Fei was still quite surprised, this news was too well-informed.
Mayor Li saw Xue Fei coming back, and hurriedly got up to greet Xue Fei. Xue Fei shook hands with him, and the two of them sat down.
Xue Fei and Mayor Li are not familiar with each other, and the two of them don't have much to talk about, just small talk, where they want to go. When it was close to noon, Zhang Fengxia said that the meal was about to be ready, and Xue Fei left Mayor Li to eat at home, but Mayor Li said that he didn't stay at all, so he said goodbye and left.
As soon as Mayor Li left, there was no one at home, and those who knew and didn't know each other all came to pay New Year's greetings to Xue Fei, and none of them came empty-handed, but fortunately, they didn't send money, all of them were some fruit drinks or something.
Zhang Fengxia looked at the things piled up on the wall, firstly, she regretted that she had prepared so much at home before, and secondly, she was a little worried about what to do if she couldn't eat so many things after the New Year?
Until the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Xue family all sat at a table. According to the usual practice, Xue Rengui should have said a few words before moving the chopsticks, but this year Xue Rengui gave Xue Fei the speech before the meal.
"Say a few words this year." Xue Rengui looked at Xue Fei and said with a smile.
Xue Rengui usually has few smiling faces with Xue Fei, in fact, before the vice governor, Xue Fei served as the secretary of the Bingcheng Political and Legal Committee and the director of the Public Security Bureau, which is already a very high position, but Xue Rengui's attitude towards Xue Fei has not changed. The real change was not after Xue Fei became the vice governor, but after Xue Fei set up the Dou family and became famous in the country. Later, Xue Fei became the vice governor again, which made Xue Rengui recognize Xue Fei even more, and felt that his son was really good.
"This is your job, I can't rob you, so let's talk about it." Xue Fei excused himself.
"If you want to say it, you can say it, what's the matter, you can't speak when you become a deputy governor?" Zhang Fengxia said with a smile.
"Say it, say it." Xue Hui and Xue Yan also asked Xue Fei to speak.
Xue Fei saw that he couldn't hide, so he smiled and said, "Okay, since everyone asked me to say it, then I'll say a few words." First of all, I am as happy as everyone else to celebrate the New Year in Qihe this year, and to be honest, I even found the feeling of spending the New Year in Qihe when I was a child, and found the taste of the New Year that I have not seen for a long time. Of course, it would be better if there weren't so many people coming to pay New Year's greetings. The second is that we all sit together for the New Year, which is the happiest thing. When I was young, I was a family of five, and now I ...... I can't count it, a lot of mouthfuls. People are thriving, this is a good sign, it shows that the life of our old Xue family will definitely be prosperous, and the better it will be. There's one more thing I think you all want me to say, and that's when I become vice governor. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, I have reached a relatively high position, which is very remarkable, and it is impossible to live. Actually, no, not now, and not in the future. What was the Xue Fei you knew in the past, and what is it now, he has become just a job, and his heart has never changed. The vice governor is just an identity in the eyes of others, and when I return to this family, I am still the son of your second elder, the younger brother of my sister and brother, and the husband of He Miao. Finally, I want to say that I hope that in the new year, our family can be healthy and happy, and we can all be happy and safe. ”
"Well said!" Cheng Jue applauded, and the others also applauded.
No one came to the door to greet the New Year anymore during the meal, but Xue Fei's mobile phone never stopped, either a call or a message, Xue Fei really couldn't answer it and couldn't reply, He Miao simply turned off the phone when he saw this, and the world became much quieter all of a sudden.
After eating, the family all sat around the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Seeing that Qu Yuanyuan did not host this year, Zhang Fengxia also asked Xue Fei what was going on, and Xue Fei said that he heard that Qu Yuanyuan seemed to be pregnant.
Halfway through the Spring Festival Gala, several children fell asleep.
At about eleven o'clock, the family began to make dumplings, which lasted for more than half an hour, and then boiled in the pot and cooked to eat.
When it was close to twelve o'clock, all the adults went downstairs and set up the firecrackers, Xue Fei squatted next to the firecrackers with a lighter, and the others counted down together.
“6、5、4、3、2、1!”
Xue Fei lit the firecrackers, then got up and ran to the side, and watched the firecrackers with his family like musical notes, jumping happily and singing emotionally.
