Chapter 298: It's New Year

Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival are the most important festivals in China. Approaching the Chinese New Year, the young and middle-aged people in the village have come back from working outside, and all of a sudden, the village is lively.

When the young adults in the village returned to their hometowns, they were happy to see a neat and flat cement road.

The happiest are the children in the village, because every time a young man who works outside comes home, he will bring back a lot of candy to his hometown.

Even the parents and elders of the children would give the children some pocket money, and the children almost used it to buy firecrackers, and several children in the same village were seen sticking a firecracker into the cow dung on the side of the road, and then lighting it with matches. With a 'wow', they all ran away.

"Bang!"

The cow dung was scattered by the firecrackers, splashing on some children who couldn't escape, and some children who didn't splash it laughed happily when they saw the embarrassment of their friends.

Ling Chen, who watched this scene not far away, also laughed happily, remembering that he used to be so fond of spoofing, so he especially missed his carefree time.

Ling Chen didn't return home until two or three days before the Chinese New Year, a winter vacation, and he didn't spend much time at home, most of which was spent in the city. Although her mother complained a little, her parents were still more open-minded after all, and they still trusted and supported Ling Chen.

Now the whole village knows that Ling Chen is a promising child, and his parents are very proud of it. Just yesterday, the newly appointed county magistrate Zheng Guanghua personally came to visit Ling Chen, which shocked everyone, and they didn't expect that the number two person in Xinlang County would actually come to visit a young high school student, which shattered the eyes of people everywhere.

Ling Chen chatted with Zheng Guanghua for several hours. Chen Mingxiu, the former secretary of the county party committee, was dismissed, and Zhou Zhendong, the county magistrate, took over as secretary of the county party committee. Although the two were allies before, they are now the county magistrate. It is inevitable that he also wants to show his ambitions, so he wants to get Ling Chen's support.

Ling Chen didn't promise anything, only pointed out one point, that is, Xinlang County should develop quickly, and even Ling Chen also pointed out Langshan, a famous scenic spot in Xinlang County, implying that Zheng Guanghua can apply for world cultural heritage. I remember that in the previous life, Langshan's application for world cultural heritage was successful in 10 years, and it is still very useful to prepare in advance.

Although Zheng Guanghua did not get Ling Chen's support, he felt a little lost in his heart. However, Ling Chen pointed out a path for him, which made him very happy.

Ling Chen knew that Xinlang County was a poor county, and a large part of the reason in his previous life was that the government did not act as internal friction.

Since the county magistrate Zheng Guanghua came to Ling Chen's house to worship his early years, there has been an endless stream of people visiting Ling Chen's house, and he almost broke the threshold. Even some leaders in the township rushed to curry favor. It made Ling Chen a little annoyed.

The parents were happy to entertain those people, feeling that this family was a bit small, Ling Chen discussed with his parents that he was going to build a new house at the beginning of next year.

No doubt. Ling Chen's roots are in Lingjia Village, no matter how prominent Ling Chen is in the future, he always has to go home. Now that the new house is ready to be built. Then Ling Chen will definitely build the best. With this idea, Ling Chen was ready to trouble Tang Zhiqiang next year. Let him help, and then come up with the drawings and requirements himself. No problem for sure.

On the 29th day of the lunar month, my parents finished the New Year's goods early, and then prepared to put them in the pond to sell fish. Although my father is now doing some business, he still hasn't given up on the fish in the family pond. Ling Chen and his mother were also helping on the side, and there were many people around the pond, most of them from the village, and it didn't take long for the fish in the pond to be sold out.

After lunch, some celebrities in the township and county wanted to get close, Ling Chen was a little disgusted, after all, it was almost the New Year and still came to harass, isn't it a little unkind?

Ling Chen politely and tactfully returned their gifts, and then drove with his father to deliver New Year's goods and gifts to his grandparents, grandparents, and several uncles.

Ling Chen's own grandfather died before his father was 20 years old, and then his grandmother remarried, and the family was supported by his father alone, so from childhood to adulthood, Ling Chen admired his father extraordinarily.

Now that the family has the conditions, Ling Chen will naturally not be stingy with things outside his body, his grandparents and grandparents are all old, and it is naturally time to enjoy them.

When I went home after giving the New Year's gifts, it was almost dark. Ling Chen and his uncle and cousin drank a lot of alcohol today, so they drove extra carefully, and his father was also a little drunk. Now he is also taking the driver's license test, and when he successfully gets the driver's license, Ling Chen is ready to give his father a suitable car.

The next day, Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve. Today is particularly lively, and the sound of firecrackers in the village has not stopped. After noon, no one walked around, they all worshiped ancestors and gods at home.

The father lit the paper money for the sacrifice, and then offered the ancestors big fish, meat and good wine, and Ling Chen got the signal and began to light firecrackers. After setting off the firecrackers, the family began to worship the spiritual seat of the ancestor of the hall, the father was muttering some auspicious words, and Ling Chen also respectfully bowed to the ancestor three times.

After the evening, the family enjoyed the reunion time, the parents were very happy, the interest was very high, and they specially drank a bottle of Moutai with Ling Chen, the parents drank a little high, Ling Chen wanted to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but the mother said that she was not allowed.

This year, the gifts given by the Ling Chen family to the elders are very rich, even the tobacco and alcohol, are all Moutai and soft China, so the elders opened the gifts given by the Ling Chen family, Ling Chen's family is developed, and they do not look down on these poor relatives, they are very happy and proud.

At night, Ling Chen carried eight barrels of fireworks to the roof of the building, and when the night fell, Ling Chen began to set off fireworks with a lighter, and the colorful fireworks were dazzling in the dark night, Ling Chen held his father with one hand and his mother's neck with the other, and only felt that this moment was really beautiful.

After the fireworks, cousin Ling Youneng came over and asked Ling Chen to go out to play, and played a two-hour game of cards with several cousins and uncles in the village, and then went home to watch the Spring Festival Gala with his parents.

Ling Chen has no interest in the Spring Festival Gala, but revisiting this year's Spring Festival Gala, Ling Chen still feels very happy, especially with his parents, Ling Chen feels very peaceful.

There is a custom here in Shonan Province that firecrackers are set off in the early hours of the morning to remove old filth, and there is also the god of fortune to wish a good harvest in the new year.

Things like setting off firecrackers are naturally done by Ling Chen, and when his parents wait for Ling Chen to set off firecrackers, they turn off the TV and go back to their rooms to sleep. Ling Chen lit the remaining two barrels of fireworks again, and looking at the gorgeous scene of fireworks, Ling Chen began to look forward to it in his heart.

At this time, Ling Chen's mobile phone kept ringing, and it turned out to be Chen Kexin calling Ling Chen.

"Happy New Year, Orange!" On the other end of the phone, he said to Ling Chen with a smile.

"Kexin, I wish you a happy new year, I'll give you New Year's greetings first!" Ling Chen returned to the house and found a relatively quiet place and said to Chen Kexin.

"Hee-hee! Orange, I also give you New Year's greetings, Wishing you prosperity! ”

"Do you want to bring red envelopes?"

Chen Kexin smiled happily again, she also heard the sound of fireworks exploding on the phone, and also said to Ling Chen, she also set off a lot of fireworks today, which is very beautiful.

"Orange, you know what? When I saw the fireworks tonight, I thought, if only you were next to me! ”

Ling Chen returned to his room, it was easier to hear her words at this time, and he felt Chen Kexin's strong longing, and Ling Chen also missed her very much in his heart.

"Kexin, if you come to my house for the New Year in the unknown year, then we can watch the colorful fireworks together."

Ling Chen thought to himself, if the women he loved were with him for the New Year, looking at this gorgeous scene, how good it would be.

Chen Kexin on the other end of the phone was shy, although she was also looking forward to such a scene, but in the end, she was still young, if she went to Ling Chen's house for the New Year, wouldn't she become Ling Chen's daughter-in-law? She is looking forward to it, and at the same time, she hopes that she can grow up quickly, and when she goes to college with Ling Chen in the future, then she can go to Ling Chen's house for the New Year.

Chen Kexin continued to say a few love words to Ling Chen, and her parents called her in the living room, so she had to reluctantly hang up the phone.

As soon as Ling Chen hung up the phone, the mobile phone rang again, it turned out to be Meng Zihan calling, Ling Chen was a little embarrassed, and there was also a trace of longing.

Meng Zihan said Happy New Year to Ling Chen! Then she directly told Ling Chen about her longing, because after the winter vacation, Ling Chen spent very little time with her, and she naturally missed her lover very much when she first fell in love.

Ling Chen and Meng Zihan talked to each other, and then reluctantly kissed her on the phone, and then hung up the phone.

Meng Zihan on the other end of the phone was holding her mobile phone in her hand, with a happy face, she sat on the bed, looking at the gorgeous fireworks outside, thinking of Ling Chen, she was a little stupid for a while.

After talking to the two women, it was already 0:40. The English teacher and Li Xue both called Ling Chen, but they were on the phone all the time, so they both sent text messages to Ling Chen.

Seeing their affectionate words, Ling Chen only felt that his heart was full of happiness.

Ling Chen received many blessing text messages on his mobile phone, and there were several blessing text messages from powerful figures, all of which were made by himself without exception, not the kind of group text messages.

Ling Chen also replied one by one, and even sent blessing text messages to several powerful bigwigs in the address book, including Wu Zhen, Ling Tianqi, Chen Qing, and Tang Zhiqiang. Soon, Ling Chen also received a reply text message from them, which made Ling Chen a little flattered.

Ling Chen also replied to Li Xue's text message with the English teacher, and after saying some love words, it was already half past one o'clock, but Ling Chen was not sleepy.

Recalling the bits and pieces that happened last year, Ling Chen was full of pride in his heart.

'This year, I will definitely realize my dream, Xi'er, you are waiting for me! (To be continued......)
