On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Shaofeng rushed from Luyang City to the capital. He drove all the way north from Kaiyuan Road in Luyang City. Without turning, he entered the 104 National Highway directly into the capital city boundary. After passing several small towns outside the capital city, Just reach the expressway that leads directly to downtown Jingcheng.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. There are really not many people on the road. Ye Shaofeng drives the car smoothly. Chang Miaoke has already breathed twice. This is because he didn't sleep well all night last night.
Last night was New Year's Eve, and Ye Shaofeng and Chang Miaoke spent it together in their courtyard house in Luyang City. The reason why they celebrated the New Year here was because not many people knew about this place, so as to avoid people coming to visit. Who would have thought that Ye Shaofeng's cell phone kept ringing all night, and Ye Shaofeng was afraid of something going wrong at this juncture, so he didn't dare to turn off the phone, let alone mute it. He could only see a call, and if it wasn't important, he would just hang up. break.
Although Chang Miaoke was sleeping in the house, he could always hear the ringing of his mobile phone outside. Ye Shaofeng had no good solution. He could only take the trouble to turn off his mobile phone over and over again. He only saw people who were closer or warmer, or Only when someone more important calls, will he pick up the phone and chat casually.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, northerners have a custom of eating dumplings. These dumplings were made in the afternoon. Chang Miaoke made them at home. They were not many, just enough for her and Ye Shaofeng.
After cooking the dumplings, the two began to eat. As soon as Ye Shaofeng finished eating one dumpling, the sound of firecrackers and flowers outside began to sound continuously.
The midnight between the New Year's Eve and the New Year's Day is exactly the time when fireworks and fireworks are celebrated. This year, the air quality in Luyang City has been very poor. In the days leading up to the New Year, there has been continuous haze. It’s impossible to travel at all, and I don’t know what those people who set off firecrackers are thinking. They insist on seeing the flowers and the cannons. The fireworks in the sky and the firecrackers on the ground have caused the air in the city to deteriorate. What a negative impact.
For the sake of environmental protection, Ye Shaofeng and the others have not bought any fireworks for several years. Setting off firecrackers is just a formality. Ye Shaofeng can't stand this kind of formalism the most.
The dumplings were almost eaten, and the gunfire outside continued. Ye Shaofeng was tired for a day, so he fell asleep on the pillow. Chang Miao could not fall asleep. He tossed and turned for most of the night, and when it was almost dawn, he fell asleep.
But at nine o'clock, Ye Shaofeng called me up again and said that today was a very important day because they were going to Ye's house together.
"You don't look very good. You didn't sleep last night, okay?" Ye Shaofeng asked.
"What's more, the artillery fire last night was constant, so you could only sleep." Chang Miaoke took out a small mirror from his bag, looked at his company, and found that the circles under his eyes were a little dark, indicating that he had not rested well. The dark circles left behind.
"The sound of gunfire is nothing. When I was in the army, I experienced a hail of bullets," Ye Shaofeng said.
"By the way, you are really going to take me to Ye's house," Chang Miaoke said.
"Of course, we have come this far. Don't regret it. Are you scared? It's okay. An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. Sooner or later, she has to take this step," Ye Shaofeng said.
"It doesn't matter to me if I just meet your father and mother. They are very nice people and we will get along very well. However, if you take me to Ye's house when you come up, you still dare to go here during the Chinese New Year. How embarrassing, what if..."
"If anything, if nothing happens, if they don't accept you, then I will go with you," Ye Shaofeng said decisively.
"That won't work. It's not easy for you to return to the Ye family..."
Chang Miaoke was interrupted by Ye Shaofeng when she was halfway through her words. Ye Shaofeng said: "Do you think that returning to the Ye family is very important to me? It's not at all. I returned to the Ye family just to prove myself." strength, but now, even though I have returned to the Ye family, I find that I still will not be recognized by them. In this environment, it is difficult for me to achieve anything, and my tone is submissive. Why don't I choose my own openly and openly? In life, since the Ye family wants me to come back, they must accept my way of doing things, and don’t use their rules to constrain me, and don’t use their rules and regulations to lock up my thoughts and my way.
To put it bluntly, they can't stand me, and I can't stand them even more. Let's not talk about the small things. In a big way, their political ideas are not consistent with mine. We don't agree with each other in such a company. family, you want me to submit to them, that is absolutely impossible,"
After Ye Shaofeng finished speaking, Chang Miaoke didn't know what to say. Should he persuade them or encourage him to do it in his own way? After thinking about it, both aspects were not good, so Chang Miaoke was still very smart. Changing the topic, he said: "Yesterday, Tang Jiaqian and Yao Xueqi called me. You seemed to be talking to someone on the phone outside. I called you twice, but you ignored me. They said that you should be busy first and come back. I was fighting, but as a result, I forgot about it,"
"Oh, it's okay. When I get to the capital, I'll give them a call first. They should be good there," Ye Shaofeng said.
"It's okay, they are living okay, but there is another military operation on the Phoenix Island. Their local army and the local army are fighting, saying that there seems to be some foreign spies sowing discord, specifically political and military When we went there, Tang Jiaqian and the others didn't understand. In short, when the situation there was chaotic, there were fewer tourists. The tourist resort that should have been quite lively has now become very deserted, wasting the good scenery there. ," Chang Miaoke said.
"What's the waste? They can just keep their feet on the ground over there. Don't worry, in the military coup, they are the soldiers seizing power and will not harm the civilians. Besides, you are not the one over there. Are there any Golden Triangle mercenaries stationed there? Those mercenaries are much more capable than their local militarized troops," Ye Shaofeng said.
"I still say that, but I'm really afraid that there will be war there. The military coup has started now, and war there is not far away,"
"Phoenix Island is an indivisible territory of our country. Although it is occupied by the Malays, sooner or later we will regain the lost territory. It is estimated that their current military has something to do with our country. Maybe they were sent by us. Spies, what about the trouble of mobilizing them? Once the fighting there really breaks out, wouldn't it be better for us to take advantage of it and take it back in one fell swoop..."
