The car drove to the door of his house, and when he was picking up his luggage, Yu Fan discovered that the suitcase Zhang Jing had given him seemed to be still in the trunk of the car. No wonder she was yelling from behind when the car was driving, Yu Fan thought
Her expression at that time couldn't help but feel funny. Maybe, that girl's change of clothes should be in the box, so let her have a dirty New Year. Yu Fan thought a little evilly.
As soon as he entered the house, the family was very happy that he could come back to celebrate the New Year. His father Yu Xianyi also told him with a smile that the whole family was waiting for him to come back so that he could pick up his grandparents tomorrow. When Yu Fan smiled, he became a
An important person.
Early the next morning, Yu Fan took a ferry across the river to pick up his grandma. When passing by Wangjiadun Village, he stopped by to see his third aunt, who was very happy to see Yu Fan. Since it was approaching the Spring Festival, the township government was now
It was also a holiday, and the third uncle was also at home. Seeing Yu Fan, he was even more enthusiastic about letting him stay for dinner. Finally, when he heard that Yu Fan was going to pick up his grandparents, he stopped forcing him.
The road to the countryside is very narrow, and there are no taxis in the town. However, there are many people driving tricycles. When people from below come to town, there are also many people who make such tricycles. The third uncle also hailed one in their village.
The tricycle drove Yu Fan to his grandparents' house in Yujiawan.
The tricycle parked at the foot of the slope in front of grandma's house. After getting off the car, Yu Fan felt that everything around him seemed so friendly. Maybe he had never felt this way before, but after going out to work for a while, he couldn't help but come back here.
I remember every bit of my time here when I was a kid.
Grandma who was standing at the door saw him from afar, and looked at him with a smile when he got out of the car. Yu Fan ran up all the way and called softly: "Grandma, where is my grandpa?" With a smile, grandma turned around and called into the house.
He said: "Old man, are you ready? Xiaofan is here to pick us up?"
"Okay, okay." Grandpa also walked out of the house with a smile, and looked at Yu Fan with a kind smile, "Haha, Xiaofan is much more energetic when he comes back this time. Our old Yu family also has a child now.
Those who are officials in the province, haha." In the hearts of my grandparents, as long as they work in the provincial capital, they are high officials.
Yu Fan didn't explain anything. He put the two old people on the tricycle with a smile and told the tricycle driver to drive slower on the road. Seeing that Yu Fan was so sensible, his grandparents also looked at him with smiles on their faces.
Yu Fan's father has a total of two brothers and three sisters, so Yu Fan also has two uncles and three aunts. After the second uncle got married, he moved to Xian'an City. Due to the long distance, he rarely comes back. The third uncle
In the army, sometimes there was no time to come back for several years, and only Yu Fan's family and a few aunts were around. However, the two old men had very strong personalities, and usually would not disturb the lives of their children if nothing happened.
When I returned to town, my family had already prepared a room for my grandparents. During dinner, my grandparents also asked with concern how Yu Fan was doing in the province? Did he get along well with his colleagues? Yu Fan was also patient.
They answered one by one. Of course, there are some things that the two old people will not worry about.
The next day was the New Year's Eve. After the reunion dinner, Yu Fan accompanied his grandparents to stay up late. This is a habit developed by the two elderly people over the years, and it is also a custom passed down from the elders.
For the first three days of their stay, they were also vegetarian. Although Yu Fan felt that this was not good for his health, he had no idea what to say about this custom.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the busiest time for Yu Fan. Although according to the rules in the countryside, Yu Fan will not go to his aunt and his family to pay New Year greetings until the second day of the Lunar New Year. However, there are many people to visit when he comes back this time, so he does not shy away from this.
.
After a busy day, Yu Fan came back drunk in the evening, but fortunately, several of his aunts' houses were almost gone. Tomorrow, he would go to the houses of some uncles with whom he was slightly estranged to pay New Year's greetings, and Yu Fan was also prepared to do so.
I went to Old Man Dai to wish him a happy New Year. Yu Fan had always respected this old revolutionary who had given him a lot of help. Although speaking to him seemed casual on the surface, it was all at Old Man Dai's request.
Yu Fan also felt very friendly.
Taking the gift, Yu Fan also walked into the township government compound. I wonder if Old Man Dai is in the communication room now? Yu Fan also thought to himself, he shouldn't be here today? It's the Chinese New Year, and Director Dai should be there.
Did Old Man Dai take him home?
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw someone in the reception room. Yu Fan also walked in with doubts. Seeing old man Dai staying alone inside, he also said with doubts: "Uncle Dai, why are you still here during the Chinese New Year?"
?”
Old man Dai looked back and saw Yu Fan, with a happy expression on his face, "Oh, isn't this Yu Fan, that brat? Do you know you are coming back to see me, this old man?"
Hehehe smiled, Yu Fan said: "Haha, Uncle Dai, as you said, I will definitely come to see you when I come back." Hearing this, Old Man Dai frowned, "Why do I hear your name being so awkward?
Oh, I learned their tricks when I went to the provincial capital. I think you should change your name back. You call me that, and I feel uncomfortable all over."
You still have the same old temper. Yu Fan also laughed when he heard it, "Old man Dai, your temper still hasn't changed. No, why are you still in the township government for celebrating the New Year? Didn't Director Dai take you back to celebrate the New Year?
?”
"Why not? I just came back, haven't I? I'm used to living in my reception room, but I can't get used to living in their house." Hearing Yu Fan's question, Old Man Dai also smiled and said, looking at Yu Fan's
His expression was as if Yu Fan was his grandson, which made Yu Fan feel strange.
Realizing Yu Fan's discomfort, Old Man Dai also chuckled and said, "What? I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to your Uncle Zhang's family? It seems a little early today, right?" Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Fan said with a wry smile: "Me too
I want to come tomorrow, but I want to go to Xinyang City in the next two days and then rush back to the provincial capital early. After all, I have just arrived in the province, so it is better to go back early."
"Haha, you brat has started to learn how to be an official and start to maintain relationships." Old man Dai is also a man of old age, so he naturally understands what Yu Fan wants to do back early.
Hehe smiled, Yu Fan was a little embarrassed that Old Man Dai saw through his thoughts, and hurriedly picked up a prepared gift and put it on the table, "Old Man Dai, I am here today not only to pay my Uncle Zhang New Year greetings, but also to pay New Year greetings to my Uncle Zhang.
I wish you a happy new year."
When Old Man Dai heard this, he said "Bah, bah, bah" three times in a row, then stared and said, "What old man? Are you cursing me? I am still young, old man?"
Yu Fan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and said quickly: "Okay, okay, okay, you are a young old man, can't you do it?"
"That's pretty much it." After hearing this, Old Man Dai smiled with satisfaction, "Hey, brat, you might run into our kid when you go up there later. He came with me, he said
It’s the Chinese New Year and you don’t worry about me. What do you think you’re worried about? I’ve been living here for more than ten years.”
Yu Fan was stunned when he heard this, "Is Director Dai here too?" He knew that when Du Chengze left, Dai Pinyuan was the director of the town committee office, and his ranking in the town party committee was still ahead of Zhang Shuisheng, so it was impossible for him to pay New Year's greetings to Zhang Shuisheng.
Ah, if you want to pay your respects, Zhang Shuisheng should go to Dai Pinyuan's house.
"What is Director Dai? This guy is now the deputy secretary of the town committee." Old man Dai looked very disdainful of his son becoming the deputy secretary of the town committee, which made Yu Fan look amused.
"That's good, Director Dai has been promoted now." Yu Fan said with a smile.
"What promotion? This guy is not the material to be an official at all." Although Old Man Dai said this, Yu Fan still saw a hint of relief in his eyes. However, Yu Fan always felt something mysterious about Old Man Dai.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Old man Dai, are you related to the grandfather of Lin Guangyao, secretary-general of the Xinyang Municipal Party Committee?"
"Lin Guangyao? Who is he? I've never heard of him." Old Dai's answer made Yu Fan even more confused, but looking at his confused expression, it didn't look like he was lying to him, "Oh, this is Secretary-General Lin's grandfather."
It seems that he lives in Yunjing City. He must have done something before, and his level is probably not low."
Hearing what Yu Fan said, Old Man Dai laughed in realization, but did not say anything. Yu Fan, who was watching from the side, also asked anxiously: "Do you recognize him or not?"
With a chuckle, Old Man Dai glared at him and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? You will naturally know when the time comes." Yu Fan was stunned and said, "When?"
"How do I know when? These are all secrets." Old man Dai was also a little impatient by his question. When he saw Yu Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head and walked out, he hurriedly chased him out and said seriously: "Bad boy, I have other business.
I have to tell you. I just came back to wait for you because I knew you were going to come here to pay New Year greetings to your Uncle Zhang in the past two days. Do you think I am stupid and don’t want to have a good New Year?"
"Wait for me?" Yu Fan was stunned when he heard this, but he was moved in his heart. This old man Dai was really not very kind to him. "What's the matter? Old man Dai. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you.
