"Yes, boss, in fact, we have been very happy these days, thank you boss for letting us have a fulfilling winter vacation." Liu Wei raised his wine glass with both hands, lowered the wine glass and gently touched the boss's wine glass.

"Okay, good, in the past 20 days you have been here, I have relaxed a lot, come, Happy New Year, I have this toast." Uncle Fan is very imposing, although he is in his forties, he is still in high spirits and drinks all the wine in his glass.
"Uncle Fan, slow down." Dong Qiu and Liu Wei were not to be outdone, and drank all the wine in their glasses.
"Okay, happy." Fan Ming said with a smile. immediately picked up the cellar wine next to the boss and filled it for himself and Dong Qiu.

"I finally got the boss's treasure today, of course I have to drink it happily, come, I'll fill it up for everyone." Fan Ming didn't care about the boss's murderous gaze at all, and still happily filled everyone with ......
"Third child, now that you get your salary, what are you going to do?" On the bus, Liu Wei leaned over to Dong Qiu and said.
"Naturally, there is a place for him to go." Dong Qiu responded lightly.
"Haha, you must want to share the fruits of this victory with Smile." Liu Wei broke Dong Qiu's mind and said.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person." Dong Qiu was a little unhappy when Liu Wei said his thoughts.
"Hehe, I can completely guess your inner thoughts, you can't hide it from me." Liu Wei said triumphantly.
Just when Dong Qiu was about to turn around and beat Liu Wei, the bus stopped, but Liu Wei avoided it very skillfully and got off.
"Third child, I'll go back first, don't disturb you and smile."
Dong Qiuyuan looked at the strange eyes of the car, and scolded in his heart: "Damn Dawei, don't let me get caught." ”
Dong Qiu took out his mobile phone, clicked on QQ, and sent a message to Smile.
Your smile makes my heart move: Is Madame alright?
After a while, the message came.
Smile under the starry sky: just came out of Xiaofeng's house, and it was finally over, and it was much easier.
Your laughter makes my heart move: those five o'clock are waiting for me at the old place.
Smile under the stars: Tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve! Do you want to meet?
Your laughter makes my heart move: I paid my salary today, and I promised you to take you to eat crayfish, but there are no crayfish in the current season, and I plan to take you to eat hot pot.
Smile under the starry sky: You don't have to spend so much, it's not easy for you to make money.
Your smile makes my heart move: That's it, I still have something to give you?
Smile under the stars: Okay, I'll go at five o'clock.
Your smile makes my heart tickle: (good)
Dong Qiu looked at the chat record with the smile, and now he is very confident and satisfied.
got off the car, Dong Qiu rode the family's battery car to his grandfather's house, today is the day of the Spring Festival couplets, every year on this day, Dong Qiu will return to his grandfather's house to help paste the Spring Festival couplets, and the grandparents are also looking forward to this day.
Dong Qiu just entered the house, and saw that his grandfather was cutting the Spring Festival couplets with a knife ruler, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, didn't I say it on the phone, I'll post it when I come back." ”
"I'll cut it first, why don't you stick it directly when you come back, I'll beat all the rice milk, come, you put it on." Grandpa handed over the cut Spring Festival couplets to Dong Qiu.
"Okay, I'll post it." Dong Qiu put the Spring Festival couplets one by one, and then after careful consideration, he picked up the rice cereal on the side, came to the gate outside the courtyard, and began to paste it up in a regular manner.
For Dong Qiu, the annual Spring Festival couplets are what he must accompany his grandfather, not because it is fun, but because of companionship, the grandparents are older, Dong Qiu hopes to accompany them more, and he can talk and laugh with his grandparents in the process, which is very happy.
Because there are many doors in the house, two gates in the front yard and two gates in the back building, a total of four gates, plus two small doors and four doors, so pasting Spring Festival couplets is also a time-consuming job, and Dong Qiu was busy for nearly an hour.
"Okay, grandpa, come and see, how is the posting?" After Dong Qiu pasted the last pair of Spring Festival couplets, he clapped his hands and said to his grandfather.
"The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and the red plums welcome the new year. Yes, it's well posted. Grandpa looked at the regular Spring Festival couplets and smiled.
"Come, junior, drink this bowl of chicken soup, grandma specially boiled it for you." Grandma trotted to Dong Qiu's side with a bowl of chicken soup and a pair of chopsticks.
"Grandma, I won't eat at home at night, I'll go back later." Dong Qiu hurriedly took the chicken soup handed by his grandmother and said, the chicken thighs and chicken in the chicken soup are piled high, but there is not much chicken soup.
When Grandpa heard that Dong Qiu was going back, he said in surprise: "Are you going back tonight?" Stay here, the beds are all cleaned up for you. ”
"Yes, how good it is for you to stay here, spend the New Year with us!" Grandma also said on the side.
"Grandparents, I promised my classmates tonight to eat together, so there is really no way, tomorrow the Chinese New Year's Eve will accompany you for the New Year, okay?" Dong Qiu was a little embarrassed. Today he specially prepared a big meal with a smile outside, so he was a little embarrassed.
"Oh! I drank this bowl of chicken soup, and I stewed it all afternoon, and it was all my own old hens. Grandma was a little disappointed when she heard that Dong Qiu didn't stay, but she still let Dong Qiu drink the chicken soup.
"Okay, I'll drink, grandparents, I'll come over early tomorrow morning to accompany you for the New Year." Dong Qiu smiled and drank the bowl of chicken soup in his hand, and then handed it back to his grandmother.
After drinking, Dong Qiu looked at his mobile phone and saw that it was already more than four o'clock, so he said to his grandparents: "Grandparents, it's not early, I have to go, take care of myself at home." ”
"Be careful on your way!" Grandpa and grandma sent Dong Qiu to the door and said with concern.
"Don't worry, grandparents, I'm leaving, see you tomorrow." Dong Qiu got into the battery car and waved to his grandparents.
"Tomorrow I will ask your mother to come back for the New Year, and tomorrow your aunt and they will all come back." Grandma said reluctantly.
"I see." Dong Qiu drove a battery car and left this home that once had a lot of memories.
"Xiao San is getting more and more sensible." Grandpa looked at the back of Dong Qiu leaving, and said with bright eyes.
"I help you paste Spring Festival couplets every year, can't you explain it? My grandson has always been the most sensible. Grandma looked at Dong Qiu's battery car and didn't return home until it disappeared at the end.
