Chapter 138 Who doesn’t have some little thoughts about wishing a happy new year?
Early in the morning on New Year's Day.
Wang Yuanchao rushed back to the courtyard in the snow.
He was afraid that it was too late and the snow was too thick to ride a bike.
On New Year's Eve, he showed up at work, and wow, all the leaders, big and small, were there!
However, apart from Liu Tuan who was supervising the battle on the spot, the others were playing cards in the office to supervise the battle.
Seeing that Wang Yuanchao took the initiative to come over to show concern for the situation, everyone praised him for his high awareness.
Also because the leaders were all there, the original intention of just showing up turned into two hours of on-site observation and guidance.
Because Wang Yuanchao brought his cousin along, his cousin laughed every time she watched the show, laughing so hard that she fell forward and backward and even had a stomachache.
Finally, Liu Tuan felt that the girl's sense of humour was too low, and advised Wang Yuanchao to send his cousin back. This would affect the team's pursuit of excellence. At the same time, he prayed that it would be great if the leader also had a low sense of humour like Wang Yuanchao's cousin.
When he left the office, he saw snow falling from the sky. He rode his bike with Lou Xiao'e back to the small courtyard. His hair had turned white, and he laughed and said:
"We're going to be together till we're old!"
Lou Xiao'e's artistic heart was deeply moved.
Not only did we do an internal test that night, we also mentally calculated his strengths!
If I had known this, he would have said so many more sweet words.
As a result, when Wang Yuanchao returned to the courtyard, he saw Sha Zhu sneakily prying open the door of his house, directing the three children of the Jia family, and quietly sneaking into Old Wang's house.
Wang Yuanchao parked the car gently, walked forward and patted it, and Sha Zhu was startled.
Turning around, he saw Wang Yuanchao who had just returned from outside, and hurriedly walked towards the central courtyard in a pretentious manner.
I have taught everything that needs to be taught, so there is no need to just watch the fun.
When Wang Yuanchao opened the door curtain, he heard some noise coming from his second brother's room. When he looked over, he saw three children kowtowing to Wang Laoer and wishing him a happy new year and asking for red envelopes!
He also took a bowl and chopsticks, knocking and saying:
"...One yuan is not enough, two yuan is not enough, three or four yuan is just right. If you don't give it to me, I don't want it, and you won't be able to hold the baby."
Let’s not talk about anything else, my second brother Wang Heping, the children call him uncle.
But is there such a way to greet your uncle during the New Year? ?
Isn't it a curse that your uncle will have no descendants?
Bang Geng was stunned when he saw Wang Yuanchao coming in, but Xiao Huaihua had already moved his butt and kowtowed to Wang Yuanchao:
"Happy New Year to Uncle!"
Since his sister had kowtowed, Xiaodang followed suit. Banggeng couldn't resist his inner feelings and it was already very reluctant for him to call Wang Yuanchao uncle, so why should he kowtow?
He only kowtows to his uncle!
The noise attracted father Wang Quan, mother Miao Cui, and younger sister Wang Li. Fortunately, they were far away and didn't hear everything, otherwise they would have wanted to chop these little brats to pieces!
Wang Heping was very angry, but he was going to marry his aunt tomorrow, what could he do? He was so sleepy that he was startled by someone, and his first reaction would definitely not be good. Then the aunt's nephew started talking nonsense, and Wang Yuanchao heard it.
I just visited Qin Huairu's family yesterday to say hello. We live in the same compound, so we can't just stop interacting with each other forever, right? Miao Cui specifically told me that the three children can come over for dinner on the second day of the Chinese New Year, but Qin Huairu had better not come over, as it's not auspicious.
Qin Huairu also knew this and agreed. After all, three children could have a good meal, right?
We were still discussing it yesterday, but today three kids came to pay New Year’s greetings and ask for New Year’s money???
So angry!!!
Wang Heping felt extremely disgusted and even had a trace of regret in his mind. He thought that he really couldn't get involved with the Jia family!
But it would be even more embarrassing if my family knew about it.
He had no choice but to take out three dollars from his pocket and handed one dollar to each of them, saying:
"Children, you can't give too much New Year's money. If you do, your mother will confiscate it! Okay, let's go quickly, your uncle has to get up!"
Miao Cui then realized that the three nephews were here to pay New Year's greetings. Apart from other things, the three children of the Jia family were all very pretty.
After all, their dead father and especially their widowed mother are the most handsome people in the courtyard.
"Come, wish your grandparents a happy new year, and they will give you lucky money too!"
Is there such a good thing? ?
Bang Geng had no psychological burden at all when he kowtowed to his uncle's parents. He dropped his bowl and chopsticks, and his head hit the ground, while kowtowing and saying:
"Happy New Year to Grandpa and Grandma!"
"Happy New Year to Grandpa and Grandma!"
"I wish grandpa and grandma good health!"
"I wish grandpa and grandma good health!"
Anyway, let me tell you a good story, Xiaodang and Huaihua will repeat it.
The parents were very happy, but they also gave each child 5 cents as a New Year's gift, which was not a small amount.
Xiao Dang looked at Wang Yuanchao eagerly:
"Uncle, we just kowtowed to you and wished you a happy new year!"
When Huaihua heard this, she kowtowed to Wang Yuanchao again. What a guy, he really thinks he can get money by kowtowing!
Wang Yuanchao knew that it was Sha Zhu who did this, so he also took out two 5-cent coins and gave them to the two little girls, saying:
"Don't listen to Shazhu in everything from now on, okay? Go home quickly, go home!"
The two little girls picked up their bowls and chopsticks and ran out happily. Only Banggeng was so confused that he couldn't lift his knees. Seeing his two sisters running out, he kowtowed to Wang Yuanchao:
"Uncle Yuanchao, Banggeng wishes you a happy new year and all the best!"
These are the words I learned from an old man at the New Year’s Eve dinner last night.
Wang Yuanchao suddenly felt a little happy to be able to make this person kowtow. He took out another 5-cent note and said:
"Don't learn bad things from Shazhu, understand?"
Bang Geng grabbed the banknote and ran away, without paying any attention to what Wang Yuanchao said.
Mother Miao Cui continued to say:
"Heping, you're getting married tomorrow, so hurry up. Don't have too many, just three or four, and Mom will be satisfied!"
Wang Li muttered:
"This kid is so snobbish. He kowtowed to you guys but not to me. Shouldn't he call me aunt?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and pointed outside the door, saying:
"Go find them, 5 cents, I guarantee you'll be hurt!"
Sure enough, just by listening to it, Wang Li felt so distressed. Is it easy for her to earn some pocket money?
Wang Heping and Wang Yuanchao looked at their smiling mother Miao Cui and exchanged glances:
Who said to stay away from the Jia family?
……
My eldest brother and his wife also came over to eat. After all, the breakfast here was mutton, green onion and dumplings. It seemed that the Wang family had not had such a good New Year for many years.
The mother brought a bowl of dumplings and handed it to Wang Yuanchao:
"Why don't you wish the deaf old lady in the backyard a happy new year?"
Wang Yuanchao was stunned. Isn't this like his mother's style? Besides, Lou Xiao'e was not in the backyard, why would he go there? Did he really think he liked to lick people?
When his mother saw his condition, she said earnestly:
"If you want to do good things, do them to the end. What's the point of giving up halfway?
When you are not around, your brother and sister go there to help you.
Besides, the old lady has said a lot of good things about you! You need a good reputation!"
In Miao Cui's opinion, her son had invested so much before. If it was cut off, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted? She also knew that the Wang family's reputation in Siheyuan had improved at least in the past six months.
Anyway, my children all have jobs, so they don’t mind spending a few dollars a month.
Wang Yuanchao swallowed the last two dumplings in the bowl, wiped his mouth, took the bowl, and walked to the backyard.
The deaf old lady had just got up and was boiling water when she saw Wang Yuanchao coming in.
"Old lady, I wish you a happy new year! Please try some dumplings cooked at home!"
This is true. We had the New Year’s Eve dinner at the Jia family yesterday, and this morning’s breakfast was delivered by the Wang family.
The old lady was familiar with Wang Yuanchao and had helped him cover for many things. She didn't hesitate to take a bowl and started to take the dumplings.
"I wish you all the best!
Xu Damao next door has gone back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year! He is still young, but like me, an old lady, he is all alone! "
Wang Yuanchao chuckled and said:
"Old lady, be careful not to get burned."
The deaf old lady took a bite, and the juice splashed all over her mouth. It was filled with mutton and green onion! How many years has it been since I last had dumplings stuffed with mutton and green onion?
This bowl of food wouldn't be filled with mutton and green onions, right? The Wang family was really, so good to me!
After all, Lou Xiao'e was not in the backyard anymore, and she didn't know what the young man wanted from her. She could only say that the young man really knew how to repay kindness. The Wang family had good education, and the children they educated were good!
The old deaf lady had red eyes.
"It's a little hot!"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Take your time to eat. I'll wait for a while. I still have to go out to pay New Year's greetings. My second brother is getting married tomorrow. I'll bring you another bowl of delicious food! I'll be on a business trip to Northeast China the day after tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be back."
The deaf old lady had a great appetite and ate very quickly. She said:
"Then you have more important things to do, get busy!"
……
Huang family courtyard house.
Wang Yuanchao is going to have lunch here.
A group of people sat around the fire drinking tea, eating melon seeds and chatting.
Wang Yuanchao asked:
"Has my little sister been promoted?"
Huang Ting said:
"I'm two years older than you, you know? It's only natural for you to call me sister!"
Huang Yun said:
"Is he related to you? If you had studied medicine with me, he would have called you Senior Sister!"
Huang Ting curled her lips:
"My eldest sister is the best student in our family. My brother and I are not good enough for that."
Huang Yun said:
"You know you are not that kind of person, but why don't you show some respect to North Korea?"
Wang Yuanchao quickly changed his words:
"Sister Ting, have you been promoted?"
Huang's mother said:
"It's not that easy to get a permanent job. There are a lot of temporary workers waiting in line. Your master is not familiar with the place, so he can't even say hello."
Huang Yun said:
"You have to greet people everywhere. You have ruined the social atmosphere."
The whole family was afraid to speak for a moment; even the sound of cracking melon seeds was silenced.
The main thing is that Teacher Huang has no connections. If he had connections, he would have given them a long time ago. Didn’t he give them a way to allocate a house for his eldest daughter and son-in-law?
After cracking two melon seeds, Wang Yuanchao said:
"Sister Ting, do you know the leader in charge of regularization in your unit?"
Huang Ting looked at her father eagerly, then at Wang Yuanchao, and dared not say a word.
Huang Yun said:
"Okay, snacks can't keep you hungry. Don't you have to visit the leader of your company this afternoon? Go cook and let him finish his meal earlier so he can leave earlier!"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Master, there are more and more graduates now, and it's getting harder and harder to find a job. We really need to hurry up with Sister Ting's matter."
Huang Yun put down his hand, sat up straight, and said:
"Why, do you still want to be the head of our Huang family?"
Wang Yuanchao quickly shut up and started eating melon seeds.
Alas, it’s almost the next ten years, not only are job opportunities even more scarce, but we also have to go to the countryside to work!
Huang's mother, sister-in-law, and sister Ting, all three women went to the kitchen to work, so the four grown men had to play cards. Otherwise, they would not be able to crack the melon seeds.
What to talk about? Chinese medicine? How can Huang Ding, who almost died trying to learn Chinese medicine, Wang Sheng, whose pulse-taking skills are so poor that he is about to switch to a pharmacy, and Wang Yuanchao, whose theories and techniques are far superior to Huang Yun, talk?
This family of traditional Chinese medicine is a real failure.
After lunch at Master Huang's house, Wang Yuanchao went to the Navy compound to see if he could go to the Qiao family to wish them a happy new year. He was not envious of Qiao Na, but mainly of the status of the Qiao family. In his previous life, how could he have had such a blessing?
As long as the Qiao family doesn't commit suicide, they will be the most popular family.
How much help will this be when traveling around Kyushu?
You know, he created such a magical song as "Love My China", but even the senior leaders of the Ministry of Railways couldn't see it.
The Qiao family's status is no worse than that of the big leaders in the department.
It’s a pity that it’s the navy. If it were the army, it would be even more terrible.
When they arrived at the gate of the compound, they were stopped by the capable guards as expected.
"The Navy compound, no one is allowed to enter."
"I'm looking for Qiao Qi, Qiao Qi from the Qiao family."
A guard came up from behind and whispered something. He remembered Wang Yuanchao. He seemed to have come here with Qiao Na from the Qiao family last time.
The guard on duty said:
"Please wait a moment. I will let my comrades accompany you there."
The young soldier behind him nodded at him and took him in.
"Shall I take you on my bike?"
The little soldier politely refused:
"No, I can keep up with you on your bike!"
Wang Yuanchao got out of the car and walked:
"Little brother, judging from your accent, are you from the Jiangnan area?"
The little soldier paused involuntarily, and his whole demeanor softened. He said shyly:
"Yes, from the Yongcheng area."
In his previous life, Wang Yuanchao had been around the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. He might not be able to explain it in words, but he could understand it just by listening.
The young soldier was not very old, but he was a few years older than Wang Yuanchao. When Wang Yuanchao was willing to strike up a conversation, the young soldier, who had been away from home for a long time, quickly let down his guard and became familiar with the man.
The young soldier is called Wang Gang, and he is a relative of Wang Yuanchao.
As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at the door of the Qiao family's house.
The young soldier Wang Gang told Wang Yuanchao to stay where he was, straightened his clothes, and quickly went forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened and Jonah's head popped out.
Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw Wang Yuanchao standing on the side of the road behind her. She screamed in surprise and ran out:
"How did you come?"
Qiao Na's scream naturally brought Qiao Qi out. He first greeted the guards, then came over and said:
"What are you doing here, kid?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Happy New Year to you all!"
He nodded to the little soldier from a distance as a farewell, and said in a low voice:
"I have to return the book!"
Jonah said:
"Come on, let's talk inside. It's freezing outside."
Wang Yuanchao pretended to be reserved and said:
"Ah? Is that convenient?"
Qiao Qi smiled and said:
"What's the inconvenience? It's just me and Qiao Na at home. You came just in time. We can have some fun together!"
Wang Yuanchao was greatly disappointed. He picked this day because he thought that the other party would invite him to his home to drink a glass of water and eat some melon seeds, and then get to know him little by little, get familiar with his talent, and understand him, right?
As a result, all the hard work was not enough to overcome the setbacks.
The parents didn’t come back to celebrate the New Year!
