Chapter 40: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve

However, people's thoughts are extremely complex, and one temporary thought overshadows another, and feelings need to be maintained and cherished persistently.

A perfect relationship, not for a while, but for a lifetime!

Wu Xiaohong didn't know what psychology she had, so she sat tightly next to Lin Yun, very active and ambiguous.

Lin Yun was secretly observing Deng Mei's reaction.

Because Lin Yun clearly remembered what Zhang Li said on the phone call to Deng Mei.

"Keep an eye on him, call me if there's anything......"

This is an obvious sentence, with Lin Er's urine nature, he doesn't need anyone's supervision financially, and it's a bit hard to say in life.

For this, many times Lin Yun himself can't believe himself.

The person who knows himself best can only be himself in the end!

It's just that many people don't dare to face their hearts!

To say that Wu Xiaohong values his power, Lin Yun will never believe that he is just an unpopular project manager for a small and tattered project.

Looking at Wu Xiaohong's dressing and driving, as well as the scale of her business, she is at least a strong woman with a net worth of tens of millions.

Say long-term investment?

It's even more impossible, there is an upper limit to how many points he has and how high he can climb, and Lin Yun still has a number in his heart.

If you do a good job in this small project, then turn on a medium-sized project, and finally complete a large project, without special help, when you return to the company to serve as a principal or deputy in a department, you will have to be more than forty.

Could it be that this woman really takes a fancy to herself?

Joke, Wu Xiaohong is even half a head taller than herself when she wears high heels!

How can you look at yourself as a dwarf mule?

Lin Yun is absolutely confident in his appearance, and he is very confident in his height, hehe, in this era when both men and women are long-legged, his height is really not enough, but he has no inferiority.

Stop, think too much, it's easy to get yourself trapped!

A lot of people die on the way to thinking too much.

It wasn't Lin Yun himself who interrupted Lin Yun's reverie, Wu Xiaohong took two glasses of wine and handed one to Lin Yun.

"Manager Lin, don't you like to sing?"

Lin Yun took the wine glass, raised his head and drank the beer in the glass.

"Do you know why people sing?"

In the dim and ambiguous light, Wu Xiaohong brushed the hair next to her ear with her hand, took a big sip of beer, and then put down the cup.

"Singing is nothing more than expressing emotions!"

"Then why don't you find a place where no one is there to express your emotions?"

Lin Yun didn't know why he was asking such sharp and continuous questions.

“……”

Seeing that Wu Xiaohong didn't answer, Lin Yun continued:

"In fact, everyone wants to gain the recognition and understanding of others when they express their emotions!"

“……”

Psychology has a line of defense, it is not so easy to be breached, behind a solid line of defense, desire again and again in vain.

But it cannot be ignored that desire will also leave mottled traces on the line of defense, and in time, all people will become slaves to desire, but at least not today.

Everyone craves recognition and understanding, and this is an anxiety for all people.

Lin Yun never expected that the singing voice of the financial Deng Mei could be so moving, and what he didn't expect was that the cold and silent people, the songs performed with their hearts, also had countless loneliness and loneliness.

A song "I'm really lonely without you", singing and dim and ambiguous lights are intertwined, filling the entire box.

The city is lit up with neon lights at night

Lighting up the darkness can't drive away loneliness

Midnight and daytime swap non-stop

Walking on the streets alone

Festive for lovers' romance

All happiness has nothing to do with me

It's a lot of annoying to have boring work

I miss you again, where are you

I'm really lonely without you

My heart was so flustered and filled with fear

I'm really at a loss without you

It's like losing your soul all day......

Yes, it's like losing his soul, Chen Lei, who has lost his soul, sits on the other side of Deng Mei, this grandson, shouldn't he be in love with Deng Mei?

By the way, Deng Mei's marital status?

Feelings and desires can't be hidden, it's easy to leak out, as long as you observe carefully, you will reveal clues.

……

It's a bad year, and it's the same for any adult.

Lin Yun did not go home for the New Year, this was Zhang Li's arrangement.

The person who arranges it, there is a reason for arranging.

The person who is arranged is also an indescribable feeling, which is a new experience.

Home is over there, and wanderers are at this end.

There is never a thing that has the best of both worlds in this world, discarded all the way, and gained all the way.

It was the parents and children who were temporarily thrown aside, and there were more important things to do for Lin Yun.

Accompanied Zhang Li to visit the company's leadership.

The two of them went together, this was a signal, and it was also deliberately done by Zhang Li, Zhang Li didn't say the reason, but Lin Yun could understand the meaning.

The car was rented, because the trunk of the BYD FO for several thousand yuan could not even fit a dog.

The leaders of the visit have to make an appointment in advance, so the timeline of the whole morning is messy, and more than a dozen carefully prepared New Year's goods have not been completely sent out, because some leaders are not at home.

Because leaders also have leaders, and leaders also have people to visit!

Why is it meticulous?

There is a point in sending New Year's goods, not too much, and too many words violate the regulations.

Can't be too little, too little......

You can't even give cash, otherwise you might just lie on a clean government account and leave the name of the giver.

Nothing in the adult world is easy.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten back to Chen Li's mother's house, and when it was almost dark, Lin Yun took Xiao Bachu to set off firecrackers in the yard, and children loved and feared firecrackers.

"Uncle Lin, put this big one."

Xiao Ba Chu rummaged through a large bag of miscellaneous and found a large thunder cannon and handed it to Lin Yun, then covered his ears and ran away.

"Lin Yun, eat, I'm about to bring Bachu in, it's cold outside."

The special tone makes Zhang Ping's voice very recognizable, and this atypical unmarried older girl who can't cook and cook naturally plays the role of the convener of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhang Li's mother's house is very spacious, with two floors, each floor is a four-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms, and the living room is arched in the middle.

The top floor has half a floor, and beyond the two rooms at the back, there is a terrace.

The downstairs living room, also called the hall in some places, has a huge shrine in the center, a very traditional rural shrine, inlaid and directly inlaid in the wall.

In the center of the shrine are a few big words: "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher"

According to the tradition, the couplet is erected from right to left: "Respect the heaven and the earth, and remember the glory of the ancestors." ”

Horizontal batch: "Zude Liufang", also from right to left.

Jiangnan has been a place of culture since ancient times, and the ones that remain naturally have such and such traditions.

At this moment, Zhang Li's mother took the lit incense, respectfully raised it to her forehead, made three strokes, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Lin Yun also followed behind and drew the gourd in the same way, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

This is a reserved program, and the second place was specially instructed by Zhang Li, saying that it was her mother's meaning.

Worshipping ancestors is not superstition.

Lin Yun did as instructed, and then Zhang Li, Zhang Ping, and Xiao Bachu.

There was a brazier on the ground, and Zhang Li's mother added things like ingots to it.

I don't know if the ancestor can receive these things Lin Yun doesn't know, but it is definitely very warm to stand by the brazier.

It's just a ritual, and although most people have forgotten the original purpose of the ritual, the ritual stays.

Stripped of the superstitions, this is a tradition, a devout respect for the ancestors, not a prayer for the blessings of the ancestors.

The Chinese people's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be indispensable for chicken, duck and fish.

And fish is the most indispensable, fish and Yu are the same sound, so we have fish every year, and naturally we also look at a sign of surplus every year.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is natural to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Yun took the key given by Chen Li, closed the iron door of the small courtyard, and then closed the door of the living room downstairs.

The lights went out, and when Lin Yun came upstairs, everyone was already sitting on the wide and comfortable sofa, watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Yun walked to the sofa on the terrace and sat down, because Zhang Li was covered with a thin blanket and leaned here.

Zhang Li's mother got up and went to the bedroom to take out the red envelope, and the first person to give it was Lin Yun.

When I was a child, I heard the old people say that sleeping in Chinese New Year's Eve can take away all the bad luck of the previous year, and the next year is naturally good luck.

"Good luck, all the best in the coming year."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Good luck, all the best in the coming year."

"Thank you, Mom!"

"Good luck, all the best in the coming year."

"Thank you, Grandma!"

"Good luck, find a boyfriend next year!"

“……”

When it was sent to Zhang Ping, the rhetoric changed!

In order to divert the target, the embarrassed someone pointed his gun at Lin Yun.

"Brother Yun, when will you and my sister get your certificates?"

The sun is coming out in the west!

A sentence of Brother Yun, and the words that followed, almost made Lin Yun spit out the sugar in his mouth.

Lin Yun didn't care about watching TV, turned around and put his hand on Zhang Li's leg covered with a blanket, patted it, and made eye contact.

This kind of question, which even Lin Yun himself doesn't know the answer to, should naturally be answered by Lin Yun's leadership.

Zhang Li was not shy, there was no anger, and her face was very plain.

"May Day!"

"Oh."

The contradiction is not so easy to marry, because a calm person has already had his own plans.

The beautiful eyes behind the glasses didn't look at anyone, but Lin Yun understood Zhang Li's mind very well, this woman is very good at disguising emotions, this is habitual self-protection.

But no matter how disguised emotions are, they will always find flaws, and uncomfortable people will use some small details to cover up their inner uneasy feelings, such as biting their lips after speaking.

Zhang Li's divorce judgment has just been obtained, even if she wants to get a marriage certificate, Zhang Li will not make a big fuss.

The blending of the spirit and the flesh of the two sides is also a process of deepening mutual understanding.

Lin Yun is slowly getting to know Zhang Li, and Zhang Li is also slowly getting to know Lin Yun.

A key to open a lock, even if it is not the original, can still be opened after all, this is the arrangement in the dark.

There is nothing wrong with a lock that can be opened by several keys, and each lock can be opened by several keys.

It's one thing to be able to open it or not, it's another thing to be able to meet it.
