Li Li attaches great importance to going back to her hometown with Gao Jianbin this time, but what is strange to her is that Gao Jianbin has not told her about the situation at home so far. I don't know the preferences of the Gao family, and I don't know whether they like these things prepared or not, but her mother thinks that "it is not strange to have many people", so she prepared everything she could think of. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, Li Zhaonan does not dare to say anything else, and there is still no shortage of expensive famous cigarettes, famous wines and teas. This time, there were two boxes of Moutai alone, a box of soft Chinese cigarettes, six barrels of Longjing tea specially provided by provincial and ministerial-level leaders, and I also bought good candy, all of which were famous brands of several hundred yuan a catty, and I also bought a pair of "Citizen" brand watches and some precious tonic gifts.

Gao Jianbin smiled at the dazzling array of things and said, "My good wife, what are we doing with so many things when we are going home?" You've emptied all your storerooms, right? What an extrovert for girls! Li Li said a little embarrassed: "I don't know what your family likes, so I'll prepare a little more." Gao Jianbin loaded the things directly into the business car, and was about to go back upstairs, but Li Li said: "Anyway, we don't have anything to do in the afternoon, so let's go home now!" Gao Jianbin was a little surprised at her, Li Li was so blushing that she didn't dare to be a little shy Gao Jianbin, her snow-white skin was as white as jade, and she looked particularly delicate and moving in the sun. Gao Jianbin smiled slightly and said, "It's okay to go now, then it's as you wish!" ”

The two went back upstairs, Gao Jianbin packed a few clothes, and brought the computer with him, anyway, there was a wireless card. Li Li didn't bring much, in addition to clothes, she also brought some cosmetics and toiletries. She is naturally beautiful, and she rarely relies on cosmetics to maintain and dress herself, which is also a characteristic that makes many girls jealous. loaded a suitcase, Gao Jianbin dragged him downstairs, and there were a lot of things in the garage, such as firecrackers and fireworks for food, which were full of cars. Li Li, who looked a little expectant, Gao Jianbin felt a burst of anger for no reason, if it weren't for those people, what a happy thing it would be to go home with Li Li today! A few years have passed, and his mood has changed a lot. What Li Li didn't notice was that Gao Jianbin sold things for memorial purposes.

Gao Jianbin's first stop was actually a small grocery store outside the gate of Haizhou University, and sure enough, although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the door was still open, and a kind old couple was on TV. The most conspicuous is a big rock sugar gourd made of wood outside the door, the old couple has no children, the college students are the children of the old couple, everyone respects these two old people very much, no one dares to make trouble in this small grocery store, that will be beaten half to death by angry students. Gao Jianbin got out of the car and entered the house and said, "Grandpa Wu, Grandma Wu, Happy New Year!" The old couple hurriedly stood up to greet Gao Jianbin, and said with a smile: "Jianbin is here, you also have a good New Year!" Gao Jianbin took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to the old man, which is also a habit of many people.

The old man calmly took the red envelope, the old couple didn't want to take it before, but the students in Haizhou resolutely refused, so they formed a habit. These college students come here as if they were in their own homes, they eat and drink when they have food, and many of Gao Jianbin's friends have made here. The kind Grandma Wu smiled and said, "Yesterday the moonlight came, and I left after lunch." You kid, I just don't understand, why don't you go to a girl with such a good moonlight? Grandpa Wu said on the side: "Moonlight is now an officer in the army, I asked her, now she is still single, I, she is still waiting for you." Gao Jianbin heard a little loud, and hurriedly said: "That's all in the past, get me a few rock sugar gourds, I want to take them home." ”

Gao Jianbin slipped away like a rabbit with a rock sugar gourd, and the two old men reluctantly returned to the house, they didn't understand the affairs of young people.

Back in the car, Gao Jianbin took one to Li Li, and then drove away again, this time in the direction of his hometown. Li Li naturally knows the taste of this rock sugar gourd, the hawthorn in the rock sugar gourd is selected by the two old men one by one, and then the seeds inside are picked out, which is clean and comfortable. After leaving the city and getting on the highway, Gao Jianbin turned on the CD, and two hours later entered Chunhua City, a county-level city under Haizhou City, but Gao Jianbin drove the car to Chunhua City No. 1 Middle School, where he spent three years of high school.

The old man at the door is still the same one, the old man is drinking tea in the house due to the annual leave, Gao Jianbin took two cigarettes and carried two bottles of wine into the house, the old man still remembers him very clearly, and received this naughty ghost with a smile. Gao Jianbin only stayed for a few minutes, saying that he was going to the head teacher Zhang's house to pay New Year's greetings, and the old man opened the electric door and let him in. With the brand-new business car, the old man whispered: "The more naughty the little guy is, the more promising he is, and he has all driven into the car." "Teacher Zhang Wenguang, the retired homeroom teacher, today is his birthday, and Gao Jianbin is very happy to bring his girlfriend to him to greet the New Year, and the family is surprised that Gao Jianbin has such a beautiful girlfriend.

Zhang Wenguang's son, daughter-in-law and daughter are here today, his son Zhang Jinchun graduated from university and returned to No. 1 Middle School to become a teacher, which can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, and his daughter Zhang Jinxiu has not been admitted to the civil service after graduating from university, and is studying seriously at home, preparing to continue the examination next year. The daughter-in-law's family was originally a middle school, and her father and Zhang Wenguang were colleagues, and now they are also facing retirement. Zhang Wenguang asked Gao Jianbin: "Jianbin, I haven't come back for more than four years, I'm an old man, where do you work now?" Gao Jianbin said with a smile: "After I was admitted to the civil service, I was assigned to Shiqiao Town and became a township cadre. Zhang Jinxiu suddenly said: "Jianbin, Gao Jianbin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shiqiao Town in the provincial newspaper, and you are alone, right?" ”

Gao Jianbin replied: "That was also a coincidence, everyone was reluctant to go at that time, so they had to divide me." Fortunately, I still have a little crooked brain, so I became a secretary. Zhang Jinxiu was shocked: "It's really you, then you are very remarkable, the provincial newspaper serialized the report of Shiqiao Town for a week, and now we all know that Shiqiao Town is the best township, the provincial newspaper ranks the townships in the province, and Shiqiao Town is the first." Zhang Wenguang also said with some surprise: "I know that you kid is not the master of subservience, I really didn't wrong you." Gao Jianbin said with a smile: "Without the help of the teacher, I wouldn't have survived today's grades, and you helped me almost every month in the third year of high school, and you saved me when I made mistakes, otherwise I would have been expelled from school long ago!" ”

Li Li was very surprised, so she asked Zhang Wenguang: "Teacher Zhang, what mistake did Jianbin make, so strict that he actually wanted to be expelled?" "Girls are gossipy by nature, and even Li Li is no exception. Zhang Wenguang said with a smile: "This kid was a headache for everyone at school back then, he was born to be a leader, and he basically had a part in every strict thing like a fight, but he couldn't catch him, and those classmates were willing to follow him." When he was about to take the college entrance examination, he beat the son of the director of the Chunhua City Construction Committee, and the matter was very strict at that time, and the director of education was very angry, so the principal was going to expel him, but fortunately, the principal and I were high school classmates, and the principal and the director of education were college classmates, so it was good to say that the matter was suppressed. ”

Zhang Jinxiu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Jianbin, can you arrange me to work in your township?" I heard that you are well treated and there are many opportunities, and many people are rushing to go! Zhang Wenguang did not express his opinion, he knew that Gao Jianbin would definitely agree, and sure enough, Gao Jianbin said with a smile: "There is no problem with that, you can go to me after the New Year, fortunately it is in time for the last expansion of Shiqiao Town, and I have no choice if it is two months late, and immediately Shiqiao Town will be directly under the vertical management of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, and when the time comes, you need to go to the Standing Committee to study." Zhang Jinxiu's work was easily solved, and Gao Jianbin also felt that he had finally paid off for the teacher.

After chatting for a while, Gao Jianbin said goodbye and went home, at this time it was almost dark, although there were some bumps on the country road, but Li Li didn't feel it, what she was thinking about at the moment was that the ugly daughter-in-law always wanted to see her in-laws, what would be the situation at that time? With the familiar road, Gao Jianbin's heart also sank, and he drove the car very slowly, and he needed to get used to the feeling of going home. A fairly large village appeared in front, and the archway at the entrance of the village was written with three golden characters of "Qingyuan Village", and sporadic firecrackers were heard in the village from time to time. Instead of driving into the village, Gao Jianbin drove onto a concrete road on the left.

The car drove to a small hill, and at the intersection of the mountain, several people were talking and waiting for him to arrive. Gao Jianbin stopped the car, opened the door and jumped out, waving at the people. After Li Li came down, she was shocked to find that the stone tablet at the intersection suddenly wrote the words "Qingyuan Village Cemetery". Arriving at such a place on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Li still felt very uncomfortable. But she is absolutely blind to Gao Jianbin, and there is no anxiety in her heart on her expression.

A slender, beautiful and innocent girl ran over, and Gao Jianbin said to Li Li with a smile: "This is my sister Gao Xuelin, I am surnamed Gao with my mother." Gao Xuelin's future sister-in-law looked very affectionate, and took Li Li's hand and followed behind Gao Jianbin. With Gao Xuelin present, Li Li's courage was much greater, and her mood slowly calmed down. She secretly asked Gao Xuelin: "Is it your custom here to come to visit the tomb on the first day of the Lunar New Year?" Gao Xuelin was stunned and said, "My good sister-in-law, don't you know that Brother Jianbin's parents, that is, my aunt and uncle, have passed away?" This was a thunderbolt from the blue that made Li Li feel like a bolt from the blue, and she now understood why Gao Jianbin was always reluctant to mention his family, it turned out that he no longer had the survival of his parents.
