Chapter 162: New Year's Greetings
As soon as he worshiped his father, Liu Yi found that his mobile phone kept ringing. When I picked up the phone, Mr. Wu's sweet laughter came: "Brother Liu, what are you doing, you always don't answer the phone?" ”
"In the countryside to worship the ancestors, I was setting off firecrackers just now so I didn't hear the phone ringing, sorry, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I wish Brother Wu a prosperous New Year!"
Today's New Year, unless there is a big grudge against someone who can't get by, that is, when you see someone, you have to greet the New Year, and then say some auspicious words. Liu Yi naturally wants to say Happy New Year to Mr. Wu now!
"Brother Liu, you too, I just called you to say New Year's wishes, I didn't expect the phone to get through and no one answered, since you are busy now, then we will talk later." After saying that, hang up the phone.
At this time, Liu Yi found that there were more than 10 missed calls on his mobile phone, none of the hotel owners were missing, and Gu Jian, Yang Yan, and Qin Fuchuan of the CCB who had been dealing with him for a long time, and even the foreman who built his new house and returned to his hometown for the New Year made a phone call.
Liu Yi was about to call back one by one, but before he dialed the phone number, the mobile phone rang again, and this time Liu Yi saw that it was actually Su Denghua, the president of Shancheng University, and the old man Su called it.
This is how can he be, he also called Liu Yi first, Liu Yi should have called to greet him, and immediately picked up the phone: "Principal Su, why did you call me today, when my side is busy, I should call you first!" ”
"Hehe, we don't have anything to do when we're old. I'll give you a call to see what you're up to! I was polite today. "Old man Su is a local, and he explained in a whisper when he knew the local customs and habits.
"Hehe, just shout and shout, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, don't break the rules, the old and the young are respectful, I still know the way!" Liu Yi replied a little curtly.
"Then are you done with your busy work, I didn't just call you today to say hello to you for the New Year."
"Oh, is your friend looking for me today?" Liu Yi was a little puzzled, thinking that this old man Su called him to have cement things in addition to New Year's greetings.
"In this way, the research equipment of the fruit tree laboratory that I bought abroad a while ago has arrived yesterday, and a few of our old fellows are discussing getting your research room out as soon as possible. They want to move in with you sooner! Old man Su is now explaining on the phone.
"And how long are you going to get the lab out?"
"We plan to have all the equipment in the lab ready for the next university semester. After going to school, we can directly take students who are willing to go to your place to practice. ”
It turns out that these professors and experts also have a good calculation, which not only does not delay the practical activities of students, but also allows the laboratory to conduct research on fruit trees as soon as possible, and they can also come here to relax their nerves. Cultivate the body and mind. That's a lot to count.
"That's fine. You can tell me about the date you have decided, and there is no furniture or anything in there, so don't forget to buy it. ”
"How. You don't even buy the necessary basic items inside, what if you let us get the equipment over? After thinking about it, he said, "I'll do this thing, and you will have to sort out the house when the time comes." ”
"Okay, I know, just let me know in advance. Principal Su wishes you a happy Chinese New Year and good health! "Liu Yi didn't forget to give him a New Year's greeting today!
"Okay, you kid, you're also hanging up with me!"
After a conversation with Old Man Su, Liu Yi didn't expect that the movements over there were very fast, the equipment and everything were all there, and he also led the students over for internship after the start of school.
The houses in the small courtyard on the side of the road are all empty, so we have to buy enough furniture and items, and even buy home appliances, those college students may not be used to coming without these electrified things.
A lot of things have to be solved as soon as possible, after returning home, the phone in Liu Yi's house has not been installed, the network is not linked, the solar water heater on the roof has not been installed, and even the drinking water used by Liu Yi's family is to find his uncle to pick it up, and there will be more people in the future, and this water will not be enough at all.
But I don't have the heart to do today, so I can only keep these must-do things in mind and find a time to deal with them together.
Liu Yi, who was holding the mobile phone, was cranky again, and felt that the mobile phone was vibrating again, and hurriedly picked it up and looked "yo", it was the owner of the hotel who called, and he said that he was calling back just now, but he didn't expect that the kung fu phone call came again after being stunned for a while.
"Happy New Year to Mr. Hao, I wish you a new year and a new atmosphere, and your career will go to the next level!" Liu Yi didn't wait for the other end of the phone to speak, so he took the lead in saying blessings and returning the words.
"Brother Liu is a busy man, he can't even make phone calls!" Over there, Mr. Hao was talking and there were bursts of hearty laughter.
"It's also your concern for me, little brother, I'm very honored!" Liu Yi said modestly.
"Well, I won't delay you for long, and I wish my brother good luck and fortune in the new year! When the time comes, you must take care of the business of Elegant International Hotel! "I still care about their hotel, and it's not easy to be the boss to do this.
Liu Yi knew that he was still concerned about the share of vegetables, and thought that he would not expand the scale of vegetable planting in the coming year, so he made a very bold promise: "Mr. Hao, rest assured, there will definitely be no shortage of you this year." ”
After a few small talks, I hung up the phone again, this time without waiting for the call. Liu Yi took the initiative to call back with these hotel owners, Gu Jian, and Qin Fuchuan one by one, saying New Year's greetings to each other, although it was a bit the same, but you will still feel honored to say it again from different people and different timbres.
In the end, only the foreman who repaired Liu Yi's new house was left. Without hesitation, Liu Yi continued to dial the phone number, and it was connected after a while.
"Happy New Year, old foreman, how is the family in the past few days?"
"Boss Liu Yi, everything is fine at home, my daughter-in-law is very happy to see me bring so many things home for the New Year, after I told him about you, he asked me to call you on the first day of the new year, but no one answered just now." As soon as he heard Liu Yi's voice, the foreman couldn't stop crackling and talking.
"It's best if you have a good home, since it's the first day of the New Year, I also give your whole family a New Year's greeting, I wish your family a happy life and good health!"
"Okay, okay, so are you! Earn more money in the new year and marry a beautiful daughter-in-law. The foreman usually can't say anything beautiful, but this time the meaning is very clear, and he still remembers that Liu Yi is not looking for a daughter-in-law!
"Okay, I'll borrow your auspicious words today!" Liu Yi said happily.
"Boss Xiaoliu, you don't know what to do, our group of workers who went back from work, it was very strange for other people in the village to see us go home and bring a basket of vegetables, but we ignored them."
said and paused: "But you don't know how to do it, and later when we used this vegetable to entertain our relatives, they were all stunned, not to mention how energetic they looked at their expressions, and later they also learned that the red envelopes you gave us during the New Year were very envious, and they all wanted to follow us!" ”
"Hehe, as long as I do things with me, I won't be stingy, but if the villagers in your village want to find something to do, you still have to talk to your boss Gu Jian, but I really need manpower here at the beginning of the year." Liu Yi calculated, the reservoir farmhouse project, don't underestimate the amount of work, not small.
"Of course, this is just to mention to you, if you need it here, Boss Gu will definitely accept it." The foreman was still very confident in convincing Gu Jian on the phone.
"Well, you're always welcome to come over this morning." After speaking, Liu Yi hung up the phone.
Putting the somewhat hot mobile phone back in his pocket, Liu Yi couldn't help but think that it is not a loss to give people benefits, the gold and silver cups are not as good as the word of mouth from the mouth, and some people give a little favor He will always remember you, and treat you as a sincere friend.
Liu Yi doesn't care if they think like that, but this is Liu Yi's attitude towards things, sincere and frank to people, and upright and righteous. Not to mention the point of treating each other with sincerity for friends and sticking knives in both ribs, but also not stabbing brothers in the back, beating water dogs, and falling into the well.
"Erwa, you have enough calls, you see that you are walking while talking on the phone without stopping, now it has been more than half an hour, if you are each talking a few more words, I'm afraid you will call until noon!" The fourth brother said with some envy on the side.
"You think that's good, next year! It should be this year, as long as you go back to the village to help me, I guarantee that there will be more calls than I have at the end of the year, but the fourth brother is not allowed to be tired at that time! Liu Yi teased a little.
"What's this, I'm just worried that my phone bill won't be enough!"
Liu Yi thought in his heart, you haven't returned to the countryside yet, you don't know how much money you can earn with vegetables and fruits, and when you know the road, you won't think like this anymore! The uncle's income from vegetable planting this year is stronger than the income of the fourth brother Liu Yong in a year.
When I got home, it was almost ten noon, and the three tables in the courtyard were already full of dishes, which was the credit of my mother, my eldest aunt, and the second aunt who went home.
And when the second uncle saw that his hometown was actually built like this by Liu Yi and his uncle, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Liu Yi really took the right path for him when he returned to the village, and he developed and grew.
"Erwa, I see that my hometown is now built like a villa, I am thinking about when I will come back to live, the air environment in the countryside is much better than in the city, and it is more comfortable to live in such a house, and it is very beautiful to build." The second uncle praised again and again, and also proposed to go home.
"This house is specially designed by Erwa's friend, and it will look good when you enter Erwa's house." Uncle interjected on the side.
"Don't talk yet, it's not too late to eat." This is the eldest aunt who came up with the last soup dish and said to everyone.
A burst of chopsticks flew, and a lively New Year's luncheon began! (To be continued......)
