Chapter 224 It's New Year's Eve again

It's another New Year's Eve.

Seeing that four o'clock in the afternoon, Corning went downstairs with two cardboard boxes, opened the off-road vehicle door, and carefully placed the cardboard boxes in.

The larger one of the two cartons contains two bottles of Maotai and several boxes of traditional Chinese medicine health drinks such as "Bainian Le". The smaller carton is a Wanlida DVD worth thousands of yuan.

Maotai liquor was left by Huang Wenzhi for Corning's Spring Festival. DVDs and other items were sent by a small leader of Donggang Company in the morning from Dongxing at Corning's request. Two young men from the company went ashore to hire a Vietnamese taxi to barely load them, which shows the richness of the items.

At that time, facing items that were several times more than he needed, Kang Ning asked in surprise why, and the little leader responded respectfully: It was all given to Brother Wen and Brother Peng.

Corning wanted to ask how these things were easily passed through? But he would naturally know about it soon, so he politely thanked the two guys and stopped talking.

Close the car door, Corning took out two Yuxi cigarettes and walked to the row of bungalows that were originally military camps, greeted many brothers from the repair shop, and found A Gang: "Is there enough dinner for evening meals?"

"Enough! Look at Scar and the others killed two big dogs, and there were a few slaughtered chickens and a few pots of seafood there, which was enough!" A Gang happily lit a cigarette, pointed to the off-road vehicle downstairs and asked, "Will you come back to have dinner together tonight?"

Kang Ning smiled: "When I first came, a Vietnamese took me in. I have to thank them. I guess I won't be able to get out after entering the door. Ah Gang, please go upstairs with me. Brother Wen left me some Moutai wine, and you can take it down with your brothers to drink it."

A Gang said gratefully: "Save it, Brother Ning, I have prepared a Soviet vodka and more than 20 beers tonight. The brothers earn one or two thousand yuan a month. Most of them spend all their money to drink and find Vietnamese girls. So, drinking Moutai is a waste of us."

"Okay, say it when you want to drink."

Corning took out two thousand dollars from his pocket and handed it to A Gang together with two Yuxi cigarettes: "Buy some seafood and beer tomorrow, count me one. A Gang. Remember to say to A Biao later and ask him to control his brothers. I know that it is not good for everyone to leave their hometowns and live here, but don't get drunk and make trouble, otherwise it will be too unlucky for the New Year."

A Gang stood silently, watching Corning get into the car. The gratitude in his heart was beyond words.

It was three years since he was respected by the big brother-level figure for the first time. Others, even the eldest brother Wen and Peng, often cared more than actions, while this kind new brother acted more than words. In Corning's simple and ordinary words, A Gang felt the long-lost friendship and warmth.

"What's A Gang's stupid? Hey... What a cigarette! Where did you come from?" The strong A Biao wiped the blood of his hands with a towel, walked to A Gang and asked curiously.

A Gang didn't care about the long ashes hanging in his cigarette butt, and handed the two thousand yuan in his hand and the cigarette in front of A Biao: "Brother Ning said he would have one."

A Biao was stunned for a moment, looked up at the off-road vehicle parked at the gate of the parking lot in the distance. Seeing Corning take out a white cigarette and handed it to the happy Vietnamese security guard, she drove away. A Biao approached A Gang and sighed: "Mom, I'm sure this guy!"

Corning drove the car to Abei's house and stopped. The old Duan and his son came up enthusiastically. When they saw Corning take out two cardboard boxes, they knew it was a gift.

Abei was very excited to get the dvd that he had always dreamed of, so he turned around and went into the house to fiddle with him. Kang Ning took the cardboard box and sat down to have tea in the room, and watched Abei busy connecting the route with a smile.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Corning opened the carton, took out the Moutai liquor and health drink and placed it on the coffee table in front of Lao Duan. Lao Duan's eyes turned green when he looked at the gift in front of him. Lao Duan knew clearly that this wine was only available to the leader of the central government. He was rarely even seen at the bottle of wine. Now that this generous gift is placed in front of him, why don't he be surprised and moved?

Based on the teaching salary of the old man who is equivalent to more than RMB 70 per month, it takes three months to afford a cup of Moutai!

Lao Duan stammered and said a lot of words of gratitude. Although Kang Ning, who had only learned Vietnamese for a few days, could not understand 90%, he also understood Lao Duan's meaning.

Corning smiled slightly, picked up the teapot and added tea to Lao Duan. He held up a small porcelain cup with both hands and handed it to Lao Duan. For the first time, he said the true meaning of the word thank you in Vietnamese: "Thank you!"

The old Duan was moved to tears when facing such a sincere and plain, Kang Ning, who was neither arrogant nor humble.

For many years, the Vietnamese government has been vigorously promoting the domineering Chinese people and discrimination and aggression against the Vietnamese nation. Although the relations between the two countries have eased greatly in recent years, the ten-year confrontation that began in 1979 almost dragged down Vietnam, and is still fresh in the hearts of the two generations.

This scar that has just healed is not so easy to forget, coupled with the government's long-term publicity, the people are wary of the Chinese who have a clear distinction between grudges and grudges, and love and hate.

Kang Ning, who was grateful in front of him, looked peaceful and polite and meticulous, without a trace of the arrogance and arrogance of the donor. On the contrary, he picked up a cup of tea and said respectfully with a kind thank. How could he not let the old man feel mixed feelings?

What surprised Corning was that two women with smiles were quick to deliver various dishes and set up a table.

Corning recognizes the year

He is Abei's girlfriend, and he has seen another person with a unique high cheekbones in his thirties for the first time. Kang Ning guessed that he might be his girlfriend.

Faced with her friendly smile and polite greetings, Corning also stood up and nodded politely to say hello.

After having a sumptuous supper, Kang Ning politely refused the kindness of the old Duan and his son, and drove away under the complicated eyes of his family.

Turning around the street in front of the commodity trading market, turning right for dozens of meters, Corning stopped under the large camphor tree in the small square of the long-closed customs clearance entrance. The front of the car was facing Dongxing City on the other side of the river.

The car had just turned off, and two fully armed Vietnamese border guards quickly walked towards Corning's car. One of the black and thin lieutenants saw the license plate of the off-road vehicle, hurriedly grabbed the soldiers who were about to come forward to investigate, walked quickly to the cab, and knocked on the window carefully.

Corning put down the car window, politely asked Happy New Year in Yue language, and casually opened the pillow box and took out four packs of Hongtashan and handed them to the lieutenant, then took out his cell phone and pointed to Dongxing on the other side.

The lieutenant came over and laughed, stuffed all four packs of cigarettes into his pocket, and turned around and left. Corning shook his head and took out two packs of cigarettes and handed them to the little soldier standing there with a look of loss. He watched the soldiers leave happily before he raised the car window.

The electronic clock on the car shows that Vietnam time is 6:00. Corning knew that his family must be having a reunion dinner at this time.

After hesitating for a long time, Corning took a deep breath. Enter his phone number at home one by one.

"Hello! Who are you looking for?"

The one who answered the phone was Corning's mother. Her polite greetings no longer had her former mental state: "Hey...hey...please talk..."

"……mom……"

With difficulty speaking a word, Corning's tears burst out from his eyes.

Then the sound of the microphone falling to the ground, and it took a while before Mother Kang's crying sounded: "Son...where are you? OK...?"

"Okay! Everything is fine!"

Corning wiped away the tears and coughed: "Mom, are you in good health?"

"It's okay... Son, we are all worried. If we didn't receive your news today, I don't know how to spend this year... Tell mom where are you now?" Kang's choked voice came again.

"Mom, don't worry, everything is fine in Vietnam. After a while, I will walk south again, and then find a way to Europe and just get there."

In order to alleviate the concerns in his mother, Kangning did not tell the truth, but instead used the method of Chinese people to report good news but not bad news to make hope rise in the hearts of his family.

"Oh my God, you'll have to wander for tens of thousands of miles..."

Corning whispered and comforted: "Now that transportation is developed, it's not a problem to tens of thousands of miles... Mom. How is my dad?"

"Okay, wait, he's next to me..."

After a brief pause, Kang Jimin's trembling voice came: "Son..."

Kang Ning held back her tears and said calmly: "Dad, I'm sorry for you..."

"Stop saying this, no one can do anything to this point... Alas! I don't know how to tell you, but the child, no matter how wronged or hopeless it is. The people of our Kang family are always upright and upright, so I want to tell you that you should let go of all the grievances and wrongs yesterday for the time being, but you must keep in mind every step in the future... Alas, last night, a young young man named Guo from Fangcheng came over with your notes. I saw that the number was written by you. He sent a lot of things and said that it was your entrustment place, only the pack of Pu'er tea produced from the century-old tea tree in Laos. I think it costs more than 20,000 yuan, tell me where you got so much money?"

Corning whispered: "I don't have that much money, it's all the same as my two friends. Ask me to treat an old man. This is their wish, so don't care too much. Dad, have you handed him my box of silver needles?"

"I gave it to him, and I brought it to him with a small medicine recipe I copied. There are some prescriptions that I have been thinking about and improving in recent years, which will probably be useful to you. But there is a saying that I said before. I don't care who you treat the disease, but you must keep your ancestral teachings in mind and never pass on medical skills and skills to any alien race! Otherwise... Otherwise, I will die with my eyes!"

Kang Jimin's last sentence was almost gritted.

Kang Ning promised anxiously: "Dad, please don't worry, even if I die, I will never violate the teachings of the ancestors and your teachings! Even if I have to kill myself, I will not spit out a word. Please believe your son!"

"Okay! OK! OK!"

Kang Jimin said three good things in a row, then lowered his voice and asked, "Your brother is right next to you... Alas! He asked me to tell you that if you can go to the west early, try to leave as early as possible and don't cause trouble again..."

Kang Ning closed his eyes in pain and asked in a low voice for a long time: "Are Xiaofang and Xiaojing here?"

"Here, I'm waiting."

"Dad, you have dinner first, let them turn on their phones tonight. I will contact them..."
