Chapter 217: Renshen Spring Festival (II)
After coming out of Master's house, Zheng Baisheng warmly invited, "Wen Yang, come and sit at my house."
Geng Wenyang smiled, "Senior brother, it's okay to sit, but you can't drink!"
"How can you do it without drinking for the New Year?" Zheng Baisheng smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let you drink too much."
The two of them were talking, when they suddenly heard the machine on Geng Wenyang's waist ringing dripping. Geng Wenyang took it out and took a look, it was a number he didn't recognize.
"Who's going to paging me for the New Year?" He muttered and looked around, but there was not a single phone booth that was open.
Seeing this, Zheng Baisheng said, "You want to call?"
"Hmm!" Geng Wenyang looked at the number again and said, "I don't know the number, there should be an emergency."
"Let's go! I'll take you to the neighborhood committee over there, and he has a phone there." Zheng Baisheng has worked in the Dongguan and Nanguan sub-district offices, and knows many staff members of the neighborhood committee, so he took the initiative to help.
He took Geng Wenyang to a neighborhood committee not far away, greeted the staff on duty and introduced, "My junior brother will make a call."
For the staff of the neighborhood committee, making a phone call is a small matter, and then he took the telephone and said, "Director Zheng, you just call."
Geng Wenyang hurriedly called according to the number on the pager, and it was Gan Ruolan who answered the phone. She said happily, "Wen Yang, I can be regarded as finding you!"
Geng Wenyang wondered, "Lan Lan, where did you call from?"
Gan Ruolan said, "I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to your family! But when you get to where you live, the door is closed, and no one opens it. I can't help but paging you."
"Huh?!" Geng Wenyang's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Didn't I tell you before? I have to go back to my parents' house for the Chinese New Year, and of course the door will be closed on Caojia Street."
"I thought the conditions here were good, and you would take your uncle and aunt over to live." Gan Ruolan smiled, "Blame me for this! I wanted to surprise you, but it didn't work out."
Gan Ruolan said it easily, but people didn't need Geng Wenyang to open their mouths to take the initiative to pay New Year's greetings to their future in-laws, this intention is indeed commendable.
Geng Wenyang hurriedly said, "Where are you? I'll pick you up!"
"I'm in the district office communication room." Gan Ruolan said: "The phone booth is not open, so I can only go to the branch office to make a call."
It looks like it is four or five kilometers away from Caojia Street to the District Public Security Bureau, and it is not a brisk thing to walk such a long way on your feet in winter, let alone back and forth. Geng Wenyang couldn't help but feel distressed: "This stupid girl, why did she come here on her own initiative?"
"You wait there, I'll be right over!" Geng Wenyang put down the phone and said to Zheng Baisheng, "Senior brother, I'm sorry, my girlfriend is coming to my house to pay New Year's greetings, and I have to pick her up."
"Oh? Do you have a partner?" Zheng Baisheng urged: "Then you hurry up, we can get together whenever we want!"
Geng Wenyang hurriedly got into the car, and after a while, he rushed to the gate of the district bureau and picked up Gan Ruolan, whose cheeks were red from the cold.
"It's such a cold day, why didn't you say it in advance?" Geng Wenyang said angrily, "How good is it for me to pick you up? You can drive yourself."
Gan Ruolan froze her nose and muttered, "Don't you also have to accompany your parents? I thought it wasn't far, it wouldn't take long to walk around by myself, and I didn't plan to drive. I mainly wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect to eat a closed door!"
Gan Ruolan has a gentle personality and is also very thoughtful, and she will not change her established ideas easily, in other words, she is a little stubborn. This is her strength, and in another sense, one of her few weaknesses. c
Geng Wenyang was distressed and said helplessly: "Don't do this in the future. Do you want to come and tell me, even if you don't drive, how nice would it be for me to pick you up? I'm going to feel sorry for you, you know?"
Gan Ruolan's heart was sweet, and she grimaced at him and said, "Got it! Honey!"
Geng Wenyang saw that she also brought a large bag and many other things, so he had to ask, "You can just come to pay New Year's greetings yourself, why do you still take things?"
Gan Ruolan smiled
"The first time I met your parents, can I do it without some gifts? In fact, there are no good things, they are all local products given to me by the villagers in the mountains. They poured their own sausages, a little mushrooms and fungus, and marinated pig ears and hearts."
Sausages and braised pork don't sound like much, but the portions are heavy. Gan Ruolan was able to carry them all the way from the dormitory of the substation, and I am afraid it would take a lot of effort.
Geng Wenyang couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, sighed and said, "Thank you, my parents will like it."
Gan Ruolan smiled happily: "It's good to like it, I'm still worried that my uncle and aunt will dislike it."
"No, it won't." Geng Wenyang looked at his girlfriend with pity and said, "As long as it's something you bring, my parents will like it."
Although Gan Ruolan's appearance has decreased a lot under the wind and cold, in the eyes of Geng Huizhong and Li Yufen, she is still a beautiful girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.
The son suddenly brought such a beautiful girl to the door to pay New Year's greetings, and said that this was his girlfriend, which surprised Geng Huizhong and Li Yufen. Although Gan Ruolan brought some worthless souvenirs and cooked food made by farmers, this intention was very rare.
Geng Huizhong and his wife hurriedly warmly entertained this handsome girl who might become their daughter-in-law. When they heard that Gan Ruolan was currently a doctor in the city hospital, and it was a family medical skill, the two were secretly satisfied.
Geng Huizhong and his wife put all the delicacies they could find at home on the table, and accompanied Gan Ruolan to have a pleasant and harmonious dinner.
Since Gan Ruolan took the initiative to come to them to greet the New Year, Geng Huizhong immediately ordered: "Wen Yang, you will send Xiao Gan home in a while, and take some gifts to her parents to pay New Year's greetings to her parents."
Geng Wenyang agreed casually, but said in his heart: "I want to pay New Year's greetings to my future parents-in-law, but I am afraid that I will be beaten out by others when I go to the door."
After dinner, Geng Wenyang drove his girlfriend back to the dormitory. After the car stopped at the entrance of the dormitory compound, Geng Wenyang hesitated, "Lan Lan, should I go in with you to pay a New Year's greeting to your uncle and aunt?"
Gan Ruolan said rationally, "You better not go. Originally, my parents were very happy to celebrate the New Year, but you must have made them angry when you went."
"I'm worried about that, too." Geng Wenyang said deflatedly: "You gave my parents a New Year's greeting, but I didn't even dare to see your father's face, I was so useless!"
Gan Ruolan saw that her boyfriend was deeply shocked, so she put her arms around his neck and said, "You close your eyes, I'll play a trick for you."
Geng Wenyang was surprised: "Conjure? What kind of trick is it for the New Year?"
"If you close your eyes, you will close them." Gan Ruolan said angrily, "What are you talking so much nonsense for?"
Geng Wenyang was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes and said, "I'll close it! Isn't it okay to close it?"
He had just closed his eyes when Gan Ruolan leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips.
Geng Wenyang felt that an electric current suddenly penetrated his heart. He quickly opened his eyes, only to see that Gan Ruolan had already jumped out of the car, stood in the wind and gestured to him in a heart shape and said, "Go back!"
"I love you, Lan Lan!" Geng Wenyang's heart was surging, and he secretly determined: "For you, even if I sacrifice everything, I will not hesitate."
"But......," he said, touching his moist lips, "how can this girl act in a way that looks like her best friend?"
