Chapter 83: Let's Sleep Together
"What nonsense? It's his secretary who wants to go home and get married, and she doesn't come, and she treats me very well. And, I heard, what about her salary? After saying that, Qiao Shan's eyes lit up and stretched out five fingers.
"So much?" Duoduo who pretended to swallow a mouthful of saliva, "That's really good, so that you will have no problem raising Lele in the future!" ”
"Yes, I still want to be happy, so whether I want to go or not, I only have two days to think about it." Thinking about it, Qiao Shan continued to pick up chopsticks and pinched a piece of ribs.
"Go!" Suddenly Duoduo became very excited, don't blame her, she is doing it for her good, "Why don't you go, the fat water doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders, such a good errand, you can't find it at all." ”
After eating, the two of them sat on the sofa and analyzed the pros and cons, as if there were no bad assumptions, they were all good results.
So, that night, Qiao Shan sent a WeChat message to Zhang Yuze, agreeing to go over.
Later, Lisa's place was taken by a group leader, who in turn was replaced by a good member of the group.
As for Lisa, I heard that the company remembered her contribution to the company in the past few years, and dismissed her and several other people involved.
Qiao Shan was transferred to the president's secretary's office, and after studying with the former secretary for a few days, she mastered all the processes.
An An went to the promotion department as she wished, which is her dream all along, she wants to make her promote the website in the first place, like to analyze data, and prefer unknown challenges.
Brother Sharp became the leader of the three groups, and recruited a few new employees with Xiao Ai, and Xiao Ai naturally became their "sister".
Occasionally, when Xiao Ai was tired, she would complain to Qiao Shan and An An, saying that they had abandoned her, but in fact, she was happy.
When they have free time, the three groups of the former will occasionally meet and get together.
Soon, the company began to take annual leave, and everyone received a good salary and gifts from the company.
After the Chinese New Year, Qiao Shan posted festive Spring Festival couplets in the rental house, and returned to the town with a big bag of things.
Duoduo's "Duoduo" is very busy every day, she said that she won't go home for the New Year if she can't leave, in fact, Qiao Shan knows that she is afraid of being urged to marry by Qian's mother, so she doesn't dare to go home.
"Mom, Dad, brother and sister-in-law, I'm back..."Carrying a bag of things, pulling a suitcase, and carrying a backpack, Qiao Shan appeared in the courtyard.
"Mom..."
"Auntie..."
The little ones heard Qiao Shan's voice and immediately came out to greet her.
"Oh, my little darlings, hurry inside, it's cold, it's not good to have a cold!" Mother White came out of the kitchen and drove them back.
But no, playing in a few clothes in the air conditioner, everyone's face was blown red as soon as it came out.
Qiao Shan hugged Lele, hugged her in her arms, and hurried into the house, while Bai Feng helped carry Qiao Shan's luggage.
Papa White was watching a TV series on the sofa, laughing happily from time to time.
"Shhhh
"Hey, Bai Feng, why is this TV gone, is it broken?" Looking at the TV, Papa White took off his reading glasses.
The little ones laughed when they looked at him, and Papa Bai was so involved that he didn't even know that the remote control was gone.
"Shanshan," she reprimanded loudly, "hurry up and return the remote control to Grandpa." ”
Shanshan pouted, and reluctantly returned it to Daddy Bai.
"So it's you little guy who is mischievous, look how I beat your ass." Caught Shanshan, Papa White played with her.
Seeing that her sister was arrested, Lele and Zilang laughed happily.
In the evening, the whole family sat together to make dumplings, and the faces of the three little ones were covered with flour, and the shapes were also very weird.
"Sister Shanshan, your face is like a little flower cat, meow meow..." Looking at Shanshan, Lele laughed, and wiped his hand, like a beard on the left and right.
"Yo, what a cute kitten."
Mother Bai pinched Shanshan's fleshy little face, looked distressed, picked up a towel and went to wipe it off for her.
"Grandma, what about mine?" Lele looked at Mother Bai and wiped Shanshan and coquettishly played at her.
"Oh, and our family's Lele!" As she spoke, Mother Bai went to help him wipe it gently, but there was nothing.
"Grandma, I have it too, and I want it too." Zilang also jumped out of the small chair and walked over.
"Okay, good, my little Lang Lang."
At this moment, Mother Bai is happy, and the happiest thing for the elderly is that the whole family is reunited, and the children and grandchildren are full.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of the New Year, and for several days, they were busy buying New Year's goods.
In the blink of an eye, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is a tradition in the town that every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, they will go to the Bodhisattva Temple and the Dawang Temple to pay tribute, asking them to bless the whole family with safety, health, and happiness.
Mother Bai got up early in the morning, first turned on a light for her home, offered incense and tribute to the Bodhisattva in the main hall, and then put a string of firecrackers in the courtyard.
"Yo, Mother Bai, it's so early!" The aunt next door was brushing her teeth and watching them, and everyone said hello.
Following behind Mother Bai, the three little ones were bouncing around, not to mention how happy they were.
First went to the Bodhisattva temple in front of the town, learning the appearance of the white mother, everyone knelt on the futon one by one, folded their hands, and prayed sincerely for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and the firecrackers were put in the white wind.
Then he went to the Dawang Temple, a fierce and vicious king with a hammer in one hand and a cone in the other, glaring at them, Zilang was so frightened that he cried, Lele also hid in Qiao Shan's arms, only Shanshan was calmer.
It was still incense, kneeling, and then firecrackers, and everyone went home.
The first thing you do when you get home is to take a shower and change into new clothes, which means that the new year will be completely new.
The red carp on the table was constantly beating, the corners of the thick lips were dyed red with red paper, and in the morning the light was turned on at home, and Mother Bai carried it in a bamboo basket, and put a lot of fruit to worship together.
"Mother, why is the carp red?" Pointing to the fish on the table, Lele asked curiously.
"Because the varieties are different, the colors are different." Squatted down and looked at Lele, dressed in a festive Tang costume, which made him look like a young master of a rich family in ancient times.
"Then why put it on the table?"
"Because, because there are fish every year!" Qiao Shan didn't know if Lele could hear the meaning of "more than every year", so she tried to keep her words as simple as possible.
After bathing the children, Mother Bai and Zheng Yuan were busy cooking Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Bai Feng went to the restaurant to work, many customers booked the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the New Year, Qiao Shan took the three little ones to play fireworks in the yard, and Papa Bai went out to play cards with friends.
Every household has put up festive Spring Festival couplets, and the streets and alleys are filled with the sound of gongs and drums of the lion dance team.
Many people sat on the threshold of their yards and watched the lion dance team pass by in front of their homes, and at this moment, the four of them did the same.
"Hmph... Knock knock... The sound of gongs and drums, accompanied by the "crackling" of firecrackers, resounded throughout the sky.
It was getting dark, and every household turned on the lanterns in front of their homes, and the alleys were festive.
"It's time to eat..."Mother Bai shouted into the courtyard, Qiao Shan took them in, Mother Bai put a string of firecrackers, and after waiting for about five minutes, Bai Feng went home in the dust.
The whole family gathered, sat around and ate hot pot, and there were many pickled vegetables, and children liked to eat chicken feet, duck wings and other pickled vegetables.
This is Zheng Yuan's specialty dish, I heard that it was taught by Bai's mother herself, and she only passed it on to her daughter-in-law and not to her daughter.
However, Qiao Shan is not rare, anyway, she has something to eat.
Raising the wine glass, everyone first wished Bai's parents a long and healthy life, then wished Baifeng's restaurant a prosperous life, and finally the three little ones were safe, happy and growing up healthily.
As for Qiao Shan, everyone will no longer urge her during the Chinese New Year.
After eating, it's time for adults to give New Year's money to children.
Everyone was waiting for this exciting moment, and after receiving so many red envelopes from adults, the three little ones couldn't be happier.
"Mom, I'm going to buy fireworks..."
After receiving Bai Feng's New Year's money, Lele pestered Qiao Shan to buy fireworks to play, and pulled her out of the door one by one.
"Dad, I want it too..." Zilang hugged Bai Feng's thigh and didn't let him go out.
"Okay, good, I know you like to play, wait..."After speaking, Bai Feng walked out quickly.
Many people in the city have returned to the town for the New Year, and his car is too big to drive in, so he can only park at the mouth of the alley.
I moved the fireworks back and forth with Qiao Shan several times, put them in the yard, and counted them, there were more than a dozen, some big and some small, each of which was different.
"This is what I asked a friend to bring from Jin County, come, I'll put one for you, you go to the eaves to hide first." Taking out the lighter in his pocket, Bai Feng found a stick of incense and lit it, and when he saw that everyone was hiding, he used it to light the nitrate of the fireworks, so that it would not be hot and run fast.
Jin County is a famous firecracker production area in the country, and it is difficult to buy fireworks and firecrackers there during the Chinese New Year, especially in the era when there was a notice prohibiting the use of fireworks and firecrackers.
The town replaced all the fireworks that could be replaced with lamps, and the firecrackers were also the kind that only lasted for a few seconds, for the sake of environmental protection, for future generations, and to keep up with the pace of the country.
But at the end of the year, the Spring Festival is the most festive, and the people are the most together, so everyone discussed only putting a little bit and changing it when the electronic fireworks come out.
After about ten seconds, a colorful flower tube appeared in the sky, so beautiful, and occasionally a few parachutes hit the courtyard.
"Wow wow... It's so beautiful...", the three little ones danced and shouted excitedly.
The beauty of fireworks is obvious to all, but it is also short-lived.
For a while, Qiao Shan was full of emotion, a year passed like this, it was really like a white horse.
Bai Feng went to the restaurant, Qiao Shan and Zheng Yuan took them to play in the yard, and Bai's parents watched the Spring Festival Gala in the house.
The three little ones played until ten o'clock in the evening, and finally got tired and went to bed.
Then, Qiao Shan and Zheng Yuan accompanied Bai's parents around the electric stove to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
There is a custom in the hometown that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve should be observed to bless the health and safety of the whole family, and the male host should set off a string of firecrackers at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
Outside, the lights were still bright, and the sky was filled with the sound of firecrackers and fireworks.
Every string of firecrackers is placed, it means that the family is reunited, and it is time to have a reunion dinner.
"Hey, how did you say that the sketches of this Spring Festival Gala were arranged, and everyone who watched them laughed and cried." Mother Bai looked at Father Bai sitting next to her, picked up the tissue on the coffee table and wiped away the tears in her eyes.
It's so touching, my son was eating instant noodles outside but lied to his family that he was having a big meal and was very busy with customers. In fact, he didn't dare to go home for the New Year because he had no money, and in the end, the second elder went to look for him, and when he saw him working so hard, the family cried.
"If you can't see it, don't look at it." Papa Bai is still staring intently at the TV series.
"I'm going to see it, it's beautiful." Pointing to the TV, Mother Bai pouted childishly.
