Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Song Yuanchao also specially went to the telephone bureau at noon to call Lin Yan, who was far away in Yanjing, to greet her.

On the phone, Song Yuanchao told Lin Yan that he would return to Yanjing after the third year of junior high school, Lin Yan asked why he came back so early, Song Yuanchao smiled and said that he missed her in Shanghai, so he deliberately came back early to see her.

Lin Yan on the phone was very happy, and talked a lot of whispers with Song Yuanchao, this call took half an hour, if it wasn't for the urging of the people in the back, maybe Song Yuanchao would want to continue chatting.

When I paid the money and left the telephone office and walked out of the gate, the intermittent sound of firecrackers outside came to my ears. Since yesterday, many children have been playing in the streets with colorful firecrackers in their pockets and lit cotton threads or incense sticks in their hands.

Watching these children laughing and laughing, throwing firecrackers at each other and playing, Song Yuanchao smiled and stood aside and watched, now is not the 21st century, the atmosphere of the New Year is strong in today's era, and the sound of firecrackers resounded from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, until the Lantern Festival gradually stopped.

Although there are many criticisms about firecrackers in later generations, such as easy to cause fires, or air pollution, anyway, there are a lot of reasons that experts can find at random, and they all seem to be high-sounding and reasonable. But in Song Yuanchao's view, is this New Year still a New Year without firecrackers? The loss of a thousand-year-old tradition will do more harm than good. As for the fire or something, just take precautions, you can't pour the bath water and pour the children in the basin together, right?

The strong New Year's flavor brings a festive atmosphere, compared to last year, Song Yuanchao can be said to be the first New Year after returning to the times.

Looking at the smiling and joyful pedestrians on the street, and then looking at the children running and playing, Song Yuanchao seemed to be a world away.

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has long been arranged, and it will be eaten at Zhang's mother's house. In addition to the Zhang family, there are two people, Qin Zhengguo and Ying Caixia.

Yesterday, Song Yuanchao specially made it clear to Qin Zhengguo about him and Ying Caixia, and I don't know if Qin Zhengguo and Ying Caixia confessed, when Song Yuanchao saw that Qin Zhengguo and Ying Caixia seemed to be normal today, when the two sat down, Qin Zhengguo carefully helped Ying Caixia get off the stool, Song Yuanchao couldn't help laughing.

Whether it is Qin Zhengguo or Ying Caixia, they are their best friends, and Song Yuanchao, as a friend, naturally hopes that they can come together.

Compared with Qin Zhengguo's escape, Ying Caixia is much more stable than a big child's personality, and Ying Caixia, who was born in a big family, has an outstanding temperament, is diligent and thrifty, and the two know the roots, so they are Qin Zhengguo's best partner.

In his previous life, Qin Zhengguo was successful, with thousands of rich people in his pocket, and the beauties around him changed like a marquee, which belonged to the envy of many people.

But is he really happy? In Song Yuanchao's view, those money and beauties are nothing more than Qin Zhengguo's things to show off, and in the eyes of outsiders, he lacks nothing, and he is a complete loser in terms of feelings and family.

If this were not the case, Qin Zhengguo would not have risked his life in that way. And now, he can walk with Ying Caixia, and other Song Yuanchao dare not say that at least in terms of relationship and family, it will be much more complete than back then.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very lively, and Song Yuanchao sat beside the Zhang family and took care of it, serving her old man like his own grandson. Looking at Song Yuanchao, who has grown up and has a career, the Zhang family is extremely relieved, and then look at the table of good dishes, as well as her sons and daughters-in-law, grandchildren, these days are getting better and better day by day, as an old man, where is there anything not satisfied to see this?

If the only regret is that Lin Yan is not there, but Song Yuanchao has already told the Zhang family that he will definitely take Lin Yan back during the summer vacation, so that the Zhang family can take a good look at the granddaughter-in-law he chose for her.

After dinner, everyone sat together and said with a smile that Song Yuanchao took out the New Year's money that had been prepared for the two children.

In Shanghai, the New Year's money can be given on the first day of the new year, or it can be given at the vigil on Chinese New Year's Eve, seeing that the two children have long looked excited, the smiling Song Yuanchao simply gave it in advance.

Who would have thought that just after giving the New Year's money, Song Yuanchao himself also received the New Year's money. It was the red envelope that the Zhang family aunt specially wrapped for them, Song Yuanchao, Qin Zhengguo, Ying Caixia, none of the three of them fell, each of them had one, although the money was not much, there was only a dime in the red envelope, but this made everyone happy.

Song Yuanchao originally wanted to resign, but the words of the Zhang family's aunt made him unable to refuse, according to the words of the old man, anyone who is not married no matter how old they are, they are children, and as an elder, they must receive the New Year's money. In this way, Song Yuan thanked them to the Zhang family, accepted this heart, and when twelve o'clock in the middle of the night approached, everyone happily went out and hung firecrackers at the door and put them off.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers echoing everywhere in the entire Shanghai Sea, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, which was the New Year, this was the traditional New Year's flavor, and Song Yuanchao sincerely sighed when he looked at this scene.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Song Yuanchao first kowtowed to the Zhang family's aunt, and then the next time was to visit each family.

Li Daqi's family, Gu Jie's family, Ma Changchang's family, Principal Zhou's family and even Daniel Zhang's side, the elders and friends in Shanghai visited one by one, and when the second day of the new year passed, Song Yuanchao was about to leave for Yanjing.

Song Yuanchao left first, Qin Zhengguo, Ying Caixia and Gu Jie went to Yangcheng on the fourth day of the junior high school, and before leaving, everyone had a meal at Song Yuanchao's house again that night and said a lot of things.

It will take at least half a year to say goodbye this time, and although you can contact you by phone or letter in the middle, you have to explain some things that must be explained clearly before leaving.

Li Xiaoyun also came that day, and when this crazy girl returned to Shanghai, she was either looking for her former classmates and friends, or she was with Ying Caixia Sticky Lake, especially in the past two days of the New Year, she was even more happy. No, Song Yuanchao returned to Yanjing on the third day of the junior high school, and originally planned to go with Li Xiaoyun, who would have thought that she would stay in Shanghai for a few more days, first, Ying Caixia was going to leave a day late, she had to accompany her for another day, and secondly, she made an appointment with a few classmates and friends to go to the Chenghuang Temple on the fifth day of the new year or something.

Since this is the case, Song Yuanchao is not reluctant, anyway, the ticket can be bought by someone, and it is easy to solve such a trivial matter with Li Daqi.

Early in the morning of the third day of the new year, Song Yuanchao took his luggage and said goodbye to everyone, and went straight to the railway station to board the northbound train.

Back in Yanjing, Song Yuanchao first went to the courtyard, sorted out the things he brought back, and then pushed out his bicycle and rode to Lin Yan's house.

"Happy New Year, Auntie!"

knocked on the door of the Lin family, and it was Chen Yuqin wearing an apron who opened the door, but she didn't expect it to be Song Yuanchao.

"Aid Korea, when did you come back? Come in, come in! Seeing Song Yuanchao Chen Yuqin was very happy, and hurriedly beckoned Song Yuanchao into the house, and at the same time turned around and shouted inside: "Lao Lin!" Swallow, the aid is coming! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Yan in his own house ran out of the house like a homing swallow like the wind, and when he saw Song Yuanchao who was smiling and looking at him, Lin Yan suppressed the urge to rush into his lover's arms, and stopped and laughed at him from the bottom of his heart.

"Coming back?"

"Just came back, put things down and came over."

"Why don't you take a break and come back?"

"I don't want you anymore."

Song Yuanchao said with a smile, looking at the two children's answers, Chen Yuqin on the side couldn't help laughing, patted her daughter and said: "You stupid girl, don't let Yuanchao sit in the house first, by the way, go make a cup of tea for Yuanchao, it's cold outside today, drink saliva to warm up your body first." ”

Lin Yan nodded again and again, and happily went to make tea, at this time Lin Daoyuan also walked out of the study, and Song Yuanchao stepped forward to bow to Lin Daoyuan and greet him with a good New Year.

"Okay, you also have a good New Year, is it smooth to return to Shanghai this time?" Lin Daoyuan asked with a smile.

"Thank you uncle for your concern, everything is going well, it's not that there is nothing to do in Huhai, so I'll come back early." Song Yuanchao replied in a proper manner.

Lin Daoyuan beckoned Song Yuanchao to sit down and gossip with him, at this time Lin Yan also came out of the kitchen, took a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table, and sat down next to Song Yuanchao by the way.

"By the way, uncle and aunt, and Yanzi, I came back this time to bring you something." Song Yuanchao stood up and said, carrying the bag he brought.

"You kid, come back when you come back, come back, you still have something with you, it's tiring." Chen Yuqin complained, but her face was full of smiles, Song Yuanchao was able to bring gifts from Shanghai to them, how could she be unhappy as a mother-in-law-to-be?

Song Yuanchao brought a lot of things when he came back this time, including those clothes and pants produced in advance in the factory, and those things that Qin Zhengguo brought back from Yangcheng.

The gifts for Lin Yan's family were carefully prepared by Song Yuanchao, among which Lin Daoyuan was a set of custom-made clothes and a pair of "Dengyun" brand cowhide shoes.

Leather shoes are specially bought in the store, this pair of leather shoes is the best calf leather, Dengyun brand is the first brand product of Huhai first leather shoe factory.

As for the set of clothes, Song Yuanchao specially asked the two masters in the factory to help order them, using high-count black and gray woolen fabrics. The top is a jacket with a small lapel, and the pants are suit pants, and the style of Song Yuanchao is designed according to the commonly worn styles of cadres in later generations, which is both generous and trendy.

"Ouch, these clothes and shoes are really good, how much does it cost to aid the DPRK?" When Song Yuanchao took out these things, Chen Yuqin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but ask when she touched the crisp and soft fabric.

"It didn't cost much, the leather shoes were the internal price of the shoe factory, and the clothes were ordered by the master in the factory where I worked before, and it only cost the cost of the fabric. Uncle, would you like to try it out? ”

"Yes, yes, Lao Lin, put it on, hurry up and try it." Chen Yuqin couldn't wait to urge Lin Daoyuan, Lin Daoyuan shook his head with a smile, took his clothes and entered the room, and after a while, the refreshed Lin Daoyuan walked out, and when they saw Lin Daoyuan wearing such a dress in front of them, Chen Yuqin and Lin Yan's mother and daughter's eyes suddenly lit up.
