Zhou Qing pondered for a while and felt that this was the case.

Xiao Ning's ability to handle cases is strong, which is basically recognized. Not to mention the criminal police brigade, even in other public security systems, it is also somewhat famous. If the top doesn't give him a promotion, what if he runs away.

Xiao Ning was rarely comforted: "I'm very happy." ”

Zhou Qing's thoughts, in fact, he knew. Zhou Qing did this so that he could be happier when he was a year ago. It's a pity that he really doesn't care so much about whether he is promoted or not.

"You, you just take everything too lightly, if you don't pursue it, then there will be no fun. In the future, you will regard my position as a pursuit! After speaking, Zhou Qing also patted Xiao Ning's shoulder with a deliberate attitude.

Xiao Ning couldn't laugh or cry, "Then I sat in your place, where are you sitting?" ”

"I'm definitely in a higher position!"

This day was spent in laughter and laughter, and Xiao Ning was also rare to maintain a very happy mood all day long, until he went home.

Walking out of the door of the criminal police brigade, the cold wind suddenly hit his face.

But when he looked up and saw the red light not far away, he suddenly felt less cold again.

He let go of his hand tightening his clothes and got into the cab with his head down.

Back at home, there are no New Year's goods, no decorations, and the cold ones are exactly the same as usual.

Xiao Ning took off his coat, but within a few steps, his legs were already a little uncomfortable. He sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and suddenly the room was a little more human.

When he packed up the garbage and put it at the door, he found that the neighbors around him had already cleaned up the previous Spring Festival couplets, and it was estimated that they were waiting for the 30th day to paste the latest ones.

Xiao Ning entered the door with a smile, he was thinking, should he also buy Spring Festival couplets and paste them?

Two days passed quickly.

Finally, the most important day of the year, the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve.

During the day, Xiao Ning came to work in the criminal police brigade as usual.

But what he didn't expect was that even the Spring Festival couplets were pasted at the gate, and even lanterns were hung. Inside is also full of lights, and red blessing characters are posted everywhere. There are also police officers who have posted one on their work positions, all in all, the atmosphere of the New Year, even here, is extremely strong.

Many of the officers have gone on leave and are at home, and only a small number are still here.

Xiao Ning sat in the office, and from time to time there were police officers hurrying by, feeling busier than handling the case.

He was the only one who had nothing to do, and rested alone in the pantry.

Yin Zetai was injured on duty, and in addition to the Chinese New Year, he didn't have to come over today. But Xu Xingteng, it stands to reason that they also have to go to work. Even if you don't have to do anything, you should spend some time in the office.

But the strange thing is that from the beginning of Xiao Ning's work to the end of work at night, he didn't see anyone, and even Zhou Qing had no shadow.

However, he didn't say anything, and went home alone after work.

The taxi driver was also going to celebrate the New Year, and he was a good place to take a taxi, but he had to wait for a full twenty minutes before he could stop one.

By the time he got home, his coat was damp from the thin melting snow.

Xiao Ning took off his coat and came to the door, and the neighbors on the left and right had already pasted the Spring Festival couplets. There is a house with a door that is hidden because it is heated and it is not so cold.

In the door, there was laughter from time to time, there were children and women, one after another, even if they couldn't see the scene inside, they felt very festive.

Xiao Ning stood and listened for a while, and then he opened the Spring Festival couplets he bought and pasted them with adhesive tape.

Shanglian: "The New Year is prosperous and prosperous." ”

Downlink: "The festival is auspicious." ”

Horizontal criticism: "The lucky stars shine brightly." ”

After pasting it, Xiao Ning made sure that it was not crooked, so he opened the door and walked in.

In the end, it is the New Year, even if he doesn't care, but the tradition, he will abide by it.

Xiao Ning rarely cooks, but today he is in charge of the spoon and starts to cook dumplings. The dumplings are hand-wrapped by him from the market, and they look very plump.

As the water boiled, he poured the dumplings into it, and then came to the living room and tuned to the central channel to watch the Spring Festival Gala that had already begun.

After the dumplings were cooked, he simply ate some and sat alone on the sofa, listening to the sketch dialogue on the TV stereo.

He watched intently, and was amused from time to time, even if he was the only one in the room, but he was very satisfied.

Unconsciously, twelve o'clock came, and the countdown to the gala party was counting, and he was also following silently.

Just as I was counting to one, the doorbell rang suddenly.

The TV erupted in cheers, followed by a flurry of "Happy New Year".

Xiao Ning stood up and walked to the door with some confusion.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the familiar faces.

Standing at the front was Zhou Qing, next to Yin Zetai, who was still in a wheelchair, and then Xu Xingteng, Li Ke, Zhang Yu, and even Lin Xiyang.

Xiao Ning's face was full of shock, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Zhou Qing and the others were already laughing and said, "Happy New Year!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Ning was hugged and returned to the room.

At this time, he reacted, and at the same time, a huge warmth spread from the bottom of his heart, flowed into his limbs, and finally into his eyes.

Yin Zetai was the first to see that something was wrong, and immediately said in surprise: "Boss, your eyes are red!" Were you moved by us? Let me tell you, we didn't even have a family with us, so we came to look for you. ”

"What do you say?" Zhou Qing glared at him, "Isn't Xiao Ning our family?" A family should celebrate the New Year together! ”

Lin Xiyang also took over with a smile: "Yes, the family should celebrate the New Year together." ”

The corners of Xiao Ning's mouth rose, and even the eyes that had always been cold were covered with a layer of joy. He didn't know that before he knew it, he had already exposed a row of white teeth.

He just smiled from the bottom of his heart, but the rest of the group noticed the difference.

Li Ke came to Xiao Ning and stared at his face tightly, "Boss, when you laughed just now, you were really handsome!" Why didn't you smile like that before, it's so beautiful, right? Who dares to say that the boss is not handsome in the future, I am the first to disagree! ”

A burst of laughter sounded, and even Zhou Qing put his arm around Xiao Ning's shoulder, "Yes, you will laugh like you did just now in the future, I promise, don't talk about the object, I'm afraid there will be no fewer people chasing you!" ”

Xiao Ning didn't speak, he just listened to the laughter coming from the TV, listening to the sound of talking in his ears, and looking at these familiar people in the room.

In the new year, everything will be fine.
