Chapter Eighty-Three: Chinese New Year

It's about to be the arrival of the New Year, and Miancheng is full of the atmosphere of the New Year, from time to time I see the little children, playing with the cannon, Ren Fan took Ye Xiaolan's hand, walked on the street, looked at the people in the sun, and his heart was full of warmth.

The staff of the seven departments, except for the people on duty, basically went home for the New Year, Li Yuanhao and their bodies are gradually recovering, and Ren Fan gave each of them a long vacation for a month.

Little Lori held the hand of the nightshade and walked not far in front of Ren Fan and them, bouncing from time to time, lively and cute.

"Daddy, Daddy, come and see what this is, it's so cute!" The little guy suddenly shouted at Ren Fan, stretched out his little head, and looked into a bamboo basket at the steps of the overpass, blinking his eyes wide, and he was curious.

There were a lot of people around, all chattering about something, which made Ren Fan also curious, and looked into the bamboo basket with Ye Xiaolan.

Inside was a small creature that was not the size of a palm, snow-white like a squirrel, but its tail was extremely long, and its big smart eyes looked at everything outside with some horror, and its body was shrunk and looked extremely pitiful.

And the owner of this bamboo basket was an old man in a tattered military coat, with gray hair, who looked like a sixtieth birthday, sitting on the steps, with dark skin and wrinkles like annual rings, leaving traces of time on his face, holding dry tobacco in his hand, smashing and smoking.

"Grandpa, what is this?" The little one asked aloud, full of curiosity.

"It's a ferret!" Seeing the cute little Yuanyuan, the old man knocked his dry cigarette gun and said with a smile.

"Ferret, well, that's so cute!" The little girl squatted next to the bamboo basket, pouting her little buttocks, looking at this little ferret, her nose was about to come to the top of the bamboo basket.

There was an aunt who was buying vegetables nearby, looked at the ferret and said, "It's too expensive, it costs 200,000 yuan, tsk!" ”

"This is a national protected animal, right, so I'm not afraid that the police will collect it for him?" There was a young man there who said.

"This ferret was originally a big boss when we traveled there last year, and it was set to catch him when I met it, and the fare cost thousands of yuan, and when I came here, the boss was no longer there, only to set up a stall here to sell, less than 200,000, don't talk about it!" The old man said as if he hadn't heard the chatter at all.

"It's so expensive!" Even little Lori pouted and shouted loudly.

"Little mink, you are so pitiful." The little girl squatted next to the bamboo basket, her eyes full of sympathy, which made Ren Fan smile bitterly.

This little guy pretended to have that pitiful appearance, but in fact, the purpose was to know at a glance, let Ren Fan buy the mink back.

The little ferret looked like a little furball, and the little eyes looked at the little Lori pitifully, and actually closed its two thin front paws and bowed to the little Lori, which surprised Ren Fan and the people around him.

"Second brother, this is a spirit mink, it's rare to meet in a thousand years!" Nightshade said softly in Ren Fan's ear.

"It's really a good surname, just like that, I was begging the little guy to bring him back!"

Ren Fan looked at the agile little ferret and said to the old man: "Uncle, I bought this ferret, so I will give my little girl a pet!" ”

As soon as Ren Fan spoke, the onlookers looked at him, their eyes changed, and they said with envy: "It's really a rich family, buy a pet for your child for 200,000 yuan!" ”

Raising his head, the old man looked at Ren Fan, stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said, "I just need cash!" ”

Ren Fan looked at the old man's calloused palms, and said with a smile: "No problem, there is a bank there, and when the time comes, you will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" ”

"Well, Dad, you're so nice, you're the best dad in the world!" The little girl screamed excitedly, threw herself into Ren Fan's arms, and kissed Ren Fan's face vigorously, her eyes narrowing happily.

Ye Xiaolan looked at the little Lori who was about to go crazy with joy, and pinched Xiao Yuanyuan's delicate nose a little dotingly.

After withdrawing the money from the ICBC not far away, Ren Fan handed over the money to the old man, and was ready to open the bamboo basket and release the ferret.

"The speed of the ferret is very fast, as soon as you release it, you may run away, this guy is still young, only about a month old, his digestion is not good, get more meat porridge, grow up, you can feed the others!" The old man smiled at Ren Fan.

"It's okay, this little thing has a very spiritual surname, even if it runs away, it should be released!" Ren Fan smiled and asked Xiao Yuanyuan, who was already excited, to open the bamboo basket.

Little Lori carefully opened the bamboo basket, looked at the scared little ferret, and said softly: "Little mink, don't be afraid, my sister won't hurt you, come out quickly!" ”

The pointed little nose fluttered, and the black jewel-like eyes looked at Xiao Yuanyuan, this ferret that was only half the size of a palm, like a white light, jumped onto the little guy's hand, making Xiao Yuanyuan giggle happily, and her face rubbed against the little ferret's furry body.

"Daddy, look!" Little Lori's face turned crimson, and she proudly lifted the little ferret in front of Ren Fan.

The old man was a little surprised, but he just smiled lightly, carried his canvas bag, nodded towards Ren Fan, and walked towards the station.

"Hee-hee, I'll call you a little mink in the future!" Little Lori happily hugged the little ferret, and she wasn't even interested in shopping.

Back at home, Little Lori ran around diligently, asked Xiaolan's mother to cook food for Little Marten, and then poured her own milk into a small bowl for Little Ferret to drink.

Lying on the carpet, the little girl looked at the ferret who stretched out her little tongue and licked the milk, rolling happily.

The little ferret drank the milk, and after a while began to doze off, and the little one carefully put the little ferret on his bed, and looked at the little ferret with an undulating belly, and his eyes were full of joy.

Ren Fan watched Little Lori have a beloved playmate, walked out of the door, walked casually on the barbecue, listened to the sound of firecrackers in the distance, and the sausages and bacon hanging on the roof in front of the door, suddenly smiled, there are still two days, and the New Year will be celebrated.

As early as a few days ago, Grandma Chen called Ren Fan and asked them to eat together in the Chinese New Year's Eve, thinking of Grandma Chen's words full of affection on the phone, Ren Fan smiled and sighed.

Time flickered, on the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ren Fan and Ye Xiaolan, as well as Long Kui, held the little loli who had not fully woken up, and headed towards the Baishui factory area, even if the little guy was confused, he had to hold her little mink and fall asleep in Ren Fan's arms.

And Tang Yin and Yan Hui got up early in the morning, and their colleagues on duty in the national security began to take action, killing chickens and fish, cutting vegetables and boiling water, and making it hot in the canteen, and the cooks were also in a hurry.

Ren Fan didn't drive, and when he walked to the Baishui plant, it was only more than half an hour, and it was time to exercise in the morning.

When they approached the door of the factory, they found that Chen Jingang's family and sister-in-law had all returned, with their children, and it was very lively.

Ren Fan was wearing a military rotation today, looking heroic and upright, which made everyone who saw him a little surprised for a while.

"Sister-in-law, Uncle Huang, uncle, aunt, this is Xiao Jing, it's all here!" Ren Fan said with a smile, handing over the gift he bought, as well as a special Zhonghua and two bottles of Moutai.

Chen Xiangyun, that is, the sister-in-law in Ren Fan's mouth, looks petite and exquisite, but she is extremely beautiful, with long hair and a shawl, and she took the things in Ren Fan's hand, her face was full of smiles, but Ren Fan was a little afraid.

Sure enough, Chen Xiangyun twisted Ren Fan's ears, made Ren Fan bend down, and shouted: "Tell my sister-in-law, what are you doing now, and I won't call my sister-in-law when I come back, don't you want to see my sister-in-law?" ”

Ren Fan looked helpless, and said with a dry smile: "Where would I forget our sister-in-law, who is just out on a business trip after coming back, and has no time, I confess my guilt, I was wrong, sister-in-law!" ”

The whole family looked at Ren Fan's pitiful appearance and laughed.

"Xiaofan, where do you work now, and you are still an officer?" Huang Chaoyu asked, his eyes full of curiosity.

Looking at this Uncle Huang, who was in love with his sister-in-law, he pulled himself to the park to play, Ren Fan smiled and said: "I work in the National Security Bureau!" ”

"It's in the newly built building on the outskirts of the city, Uncle Huang!"

"Boy, it's a good mix, but you guy, what's wrong with the eldest brother, why didn't you notify us?"

"I don't want you to worry, the matter has been resolved, as long as the person is okay, it's fine!" Ren Fan said with a smile, approached the door, listened to the aroma of stir-fried vegetables in the kitchen, and smiled.

Little Lori didn't recognize life at all, scurrying around the rooms, grabbing a handful of melon seeds or a few pieces of candy from time to time, and then quietly hid aside, teasing the little mink in her arms.

Everyone looked at this cute little girl, they didn't know what they were doing mysteriously, when Chen Jing, the daughter of Chen Jingang, walked to the side of Xiao Lori, and when she saw the little ferret in Xiao Yuanyuan's arms, she let out a scream: "What a cute hamster!" ”

"Hmph, I'm a ferret, not a hamster!" Little Lori pouted unconvinced, the appearance of protecting the little mink made people laugh.

"Can I let my sister see it, it's really cute?" Chen Jing is not a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she does not have any immunity to this kind of small animal, and looks at Xiao Yuanyuan hopefully.

looked at Ren Fan, then looked at the cute little mink in his arms, and then looked at Sister Chen Jing in front of him, the little guy nodded and said, "Okay, I'll show you, the little mink is really cute!" ”

Nodding vigorously, the two girls ran to Ren Fan's room, surrounded the little mink, muttering, and making surprised cries from time to time, so that the adults' faces were full of smiles.

And Ye Xiaolan and Nightshade were greeted warmly by the sister-in-law, the aunt, and the uncle's wife, Ren Yue, and laughed and laughed.

According to the custom here, before eating, they are all going to set off firecrackers, but fortunately they are in the factory area, the two thousand firecrackers are set up on the soaphorn tree, and everyone hides behind the gate, listening to the crackling firecrackers and laughing.

"New Year's Day, set off firecrackers!" Little Lori was very happy to see such a lively New Year's atmosphere, ran outside and jumped, picking up those firecrackers that did not explode, and asked Ren Fan to light them for him, but she hid aside, with an excited look on her face.
