Cao Chunyuan rolled her eyes speechlessly, thinking that if you didn't eat when you spoke, I might really believe you. While you were eating the gingerbread cookies my brother bought for me, you said you were innocent.

Do you think I'm a fool?

"Long distance charges are very expensive, please don't waste my brother's phone bill, okay? If it's okay, I'll hang up!"

"Oh, don't hang up!

Well, well, did you celebrate Christmas today?"

Um?

Cao Chunyuan was a little unaccustomed to Song Minguo's sudden shyness, so she didn't think much about it and said directly: "I'm so busy all day long. I don't have time to celebrate Christmas. Do you think I'm you?

"

"Really?

Well, I also bought you a Christmas gift, and I will give it to you after you return to Yanjing."

Cao Chunyuan's pupils are shaking. Song Minguo, who usually only knows how to grab Cao Chunlong's snacks, would be so kind to prepare a gift for her?

Is this the iron tree in bloom?

"Really or not?"

"Of course it's true. I'll bring it to you when you return to Yanjing."

After speaking, Song Minguo hung up the phone directly without giving Cao Chunyuan a chance to react.

Cao Chunyuan looked at the phone that beeped, feeling confused for a while.

Just when Cao Chunyuan was surprised by Song Minguo's cool operation, her phone vibrated again, and she picked up the call without even looking at it.

"I knew you weren't that kind. The gift was a lie to me, right?"

"What gift?"

Hearing the cold voice coming from the phone, Cao Chunyuan's heartbeat skipped half a beat. She shrank her neck and moved the phone away. When she saw the note on the phone was Zhang Yunxi, her scalp instantly felt numb.

I even felt like I had done something bad and was caught red-handed.

"Uh, nothing."

"It's nothing. What is the gift you just mentioned? Who wants to give you a gift?"

Cao Chunyuan wanted to pretend to be dumbfounded, but Zhang Yunxi was unwilling to give up the topic and continued to ask.

Seeing that she couldn't hide, Cao Chunyuan could only say half-truthfully: "It's nothing, it's nothing. How can there be so many reasons? I just called my brother and made a joke with his roommate."

When he heard about Cao Chunlong's roommate, Zhang Yunxi's face immediately turned uglier. He took a deep breath and pretended to be very casual and said: "Your brother's roommate, are you talking about Song Minguo?"

At first, Cao Chunyuan felt some inexplicable guilt, but Zhang Yunxi's questioning tone made her very uncomfortable.

Who are you, like torture a prisoner?

"It's Song Mingguo, what's wrong?

He even asked me to spend Christmas together, what does that have to do with you?"

"Huh~"

Zhang Yunxi's chest rose and fell violently. It was obvious that his emotions had reached a point where he was about to explode. He forcibly controlled his emotions that were about to collapse and asked: "Didn't you say you have nothing to do with him? Why do you want to spend Christmas with him again?"

Cao Chunyuan's mood was not very good at first. When Zhang Yunxi asked about it, Cao Chunyuan's mood became even worse.

She put the phone close to her mouth and shouted into it: "I can do whatever I want. You really think you can control me, you arrogant maniac, huh!"

After saying that, Cao Chunyuan hung up the phone and threw it to the end of the bed again.

Zhang Yunxi's expression changed as he listened to the busy tone coming from his phone. After about a minute, he slowly closed the phone (flip it).

He glanced at the somewhat 'ugly' knitted scarf on his desk, then at his swollen fingers, and raised his hand to throw the scarf into the trash can nearby.

But when I think about the knitting technique I learned after working so hard for half a month, and the finished product after countless failures, I still feel a little reluctant to part with it.

His eyes were a little distracted and he murmured softly: "Cao Chunyuan, what on earth are you thinking about?"

Cao Chunyuan on the other side of the phone also felt a little regretful at this time. When she knew that the last call was from Zhang Yunxi, she was very happy and even looked forward to it.

But I don't know why, the two of them started to quarrel while talking.

Now thinking back on the phone call she had just had with Zhang Yunxi, she felt a little baffled. She realized now that Zhang Yunxi must have been jealous, that's why he kept asking.

Maybe Zhang Yunxi called her because of Christmas.

It's just that the two of them are relatively slow people in terms of emotions, which makes their relationship never make much progress.

Now that something like this has come out again, I'm afraid the two of them will have a "cold war" for a while.

Cao Chunyuan shook her head helplessly and sighed: "Oh, let nature take its course!"

Thursday, December 30th.

Today is the penultimate day of 1993, and it is also a big day for the village chief election in Liujia Village.

Cao Shien went to the village committee early in the morning and organized the Liujia Village elections with Yan Ruixing and several other leaders.

In Cao Chunyuan's view, this is a certainty, and there is basically no suspense. I believe this is also the thinking of most people in Liujia Village. Cao Shi'en was only one step away from the village election process before he officially took office.

Cao Chunyuan trusted Cao Shien very much, so she did not do any extra tricks to help him win votes. She went to the scientific research center early in the morning. She didn't go home slowly until dinner time in the evening.

As soon as she entered the house, Cao Chunyuan felt that the atmosphere in the house was very different from before. The faces of both families were glowing, as if they had won the lottery.

"Ernie, you are finally back.

Dad has some good news for you. I succeeded in the election today. From today on, I will be the legitimate village chief of Liujia Village."

Cao Chunyuan nodded, thinking that it is not normal for the villagers to elect you as the village chief. If they don't elect you, then there will be a problem.

Besides, when you were not the village chief before, you stopped taking care of the affairs of the village?

Although she wanted to complain in her heart, Cao Chunyuan still pretended to be surprised.

"Really?

Dad, you are so awesome, you are the pride of our old Cao family."

"Haha, we are also leaders now, and we will be able to help you to some extent in the future."

Cao Chunyuan hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Dad, just worry about your own affairs. I can do my own affairs well. Don't be like Yin Zhankui. When you become a leader, you first think about the welfare of your own family."

Cao Shien quickly shook his head and explained: "No, no, I am definitely not that kind of person. What I am saying is that in the future I can better organize the villagers, cooperate with you in planting, and lead the whole village to make a fortune together."

Cao Chunyuan understood Cao Shien's thoughts in her heart. What she just said was a warning to Cao Shien. After all, rights are difficult to control once they are possessed.

She really didn't want Cao Shien to follow Yin Zhankui's path.

"Haha, dad, of course I trust you!

I believe that you can lead the villagers of Liujia Village to become better and better, and become the most powerful village in our big stick, and even in our Qinglong City."

Hearing this, Cao Shien became even more excited. He blushed and said with some embarrassment: "Haha, I have this idea, but this kind of thing has to be done slowly. I will first lead our Liujia Village to become the most popular village in Dazhangzi Township.

Let’s talk about the excellent village.”

"Okay, Dad, you are the best. You are the best village chief in our Dazhangzi Township."

"Haha~"

"Okay, you two, stop blowing outside and go inside to eat. Erni, I've stewed a big rooster for you that you brought back. It's delicious."

Hearing this, Cao Chunyuan's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to run towards the house.

"Really, where is it? Why don't I smell the fragrance?"

Seeing Cao Chunyuan's "promising" look, Li Xianglan laughed and scolded: "The chicken hasn't come out of the pot yet, how could you smell it? Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
