Hu Fei walked around in the fields, and when he returned home, he heard a loud bell-like sound in the distance. He immediately rushed home and said, "Grandpa, are you back?"
"Xiao Fei, you kid is finally back."
An energetic old man was sitting on a wooden chair under the eaves, flipping through a yellowed book in his hand. Hearing Hu Fei's voice, he immediately put the book down and stood up to greet him, "Oh,
My grandson is getting more and more handsome."
Immediately, his voice paused, and his piercing eyes swept over Hu Fei's face, "Xiao Fei, did you break up with your girlfriend?"
"Grandpa, how do you know?"
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this. He had never been interested in the old man's so-called prediction of horoscopes. Moreover, the old man had deceived people before, and the number of accurate predictions did not seem to be many.
However, this time the old man actually guessed it right, which surprised Hu Fei. Thinking of what his mother said just now, could it be that the old man gained a lot from studying the art of I Ching Bagua?
"Nonsense, of course it can be seen from your face."
Hu Dashan snorted, "Your house of wives and concubines has undergone some slight changes since the last time you came back. Naturally, you have to blow it with your girlfriend. However, you don't have to worry. The color between your eyebrows is bright and shining, which means that your love affair is about to happen."
It’s coming soon.”
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this, with a wry smile on his face.
"Dad, then you can do some calculations for Xiao Fei and see if he can get a good unit this time?"
Hu Laifu was cleaning the wine vat. It was Chinese New Year, and the rice wine at home had to be steamed and roasted. Otherwise, guests would have no wine to drink during the first month. At this moment, he stopped immediately after listening to Hu Dashan's words.
"Laifu, don't worry. Xiao Fei's horoscope is very good. Even if he can't sit in the world in the future, he can at least be a general." Hu Dashan raised his hand and stroked a strand of beard under his chin, shaking his head.
"Dad, that can't be done. Let Laifu take Xiaofei to the city to pay Chunlai a New Year's greeting during the Chinese New Year, and let Chunlai think of a way to help."
Yu Chunlan came out with a basin and poured water into the gutter, "This is a major matter of Xiao Fei's life. There is no way to be careless. We can't follow the horoscopes you recommended."
"Okay, you can be busy if you want."
Hu Dashan nodded and stood up slowly, "It's been a tiring day today. I'll go back to the house to take a rest."
Hu Fei had a good rest at home for a few days. There were no loud horns, no deafening slogans, and even very little roar of cars. The countryside was so peaceful that Hu Fei went to bed early and got up late every day.
, New Year’s Eve has arrived in anticipation.
Hu Fei had already been a soldier for ten years when he joined the military academy. He didn't have many opportunities to celebrate the New Year at home, especially after joining the army. He served as deputy company commander, company commander, deputy battalion commander and other positions in the army, and was on duty every Spring Festival.
, I have been participating in the anti-terrorism campaign only in recent years, so the days when I really celebrate the New Year at home are few and far between.
This year has been great. The family reunited and had a lively New Year. After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was natural to stay up late. Hu Dashan was old and lacked energy, so he went to bed early. Later, Hu Laifu and his wife couldn't hold on any longer.
, Hu Fei watched the Spring Festival Gala alone while guarding the arrival of midnight.
On the TV, at the moment when the zero o'clock bell rang, Hu Fei went out and lit the firecrackers. He watched each firecracker explode and the flickering flames flashed away. He silently muttered in his heart, "Everything has passed. From this moment on
From now on, I, Hu Fei, will let go of the past and start a new life."
After setting off the firecrackers, Hu Fei simply washed up and fell asleep in a hurry.
On the first day of the new year, Hu Fei walked around the village, paid New Year greetings to the elderly in the village, chatted with peers in the village, and played poker. The day passed quickly.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Fei and his family went to Yu Chunlan's parents' house to pay New Year's greetings. They spent a whole day playing at her grandmother's house. After returning in the evening, Yu Chunlan asked Hu Laifu and his son to go to bed early because they would go to the county town early tomorrow morning to pay Hu Chunlai New Year's greetings.
.
Although Hu Fei was not too interested in going to pay Hu Chunlai a New Year's greeting, after all, it was his mother's painstaking efforts, so he could only accept it happily. Besides, he would also have to work hard in the officialdom in the future, so he could have someone to help him and help each other.
Taking care of nature is also a good thing.
Early the next morning, Hu Laifu and his son got up early. Yu Chunlan prepared a lot of local products, such as native chickens, eggs, camellia oil, etc.
"Mom, you don't need so much, just bring a bucket of tea oil."
Hu Fei looked at the pair of gifts piled on the ground and frowned, "I am now a city dweller. I don't need these. It's just a courtesy. I can just give his child a red envelope when the time comes."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Fei is right. People in the city look down on these things in the countryside. There is nothing you can't buy if you have money."
Hu Laifu hurriedly expressed his position, "Besides, this is asking Hu Chunlai to do something, so we can't be stingy."
"Okay, you two, father and son, figure it out."
Yu Chunlan finally gave in.
It was only a quarter past ten when the father and son arrived in the city.
"Laifu, why are you in the city?"
Hu Chunlai was a little surprised to see Hu Laifu and his son appear at the door, "Come, come, come in and sit down. My wife is not at home either. I am getting ready to go out."
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this and frowned. Didn't he make it clear that he didn't give face? He was from the same village after all. Damn, wasn't he just a clerk in the Party and Government Office? What kind of awesomeness could a person with no rank even have?
Woolen cloth?
"Chunlai, this kid just returned from the army this year. Bring him to meet you. Please take good care of him in the future."
Hu Laifu said with a shy face, "Xiao Fei, why don't you give Uncle Chunlai a New Year's greeting."
"Uncle Chunlai, happy New Year."
Although he felt very ashamed of Hu Chunlai, Hu Fei still respectfully wished Hu Chunlai New Year greetings.
"Oh, you must be Hu Fei. We haven't seen each other for many years, and you have indeed grown into a big man." Hu Chunlai nodded, poured hot water for Hu Laifu and his son, and took a look at the one Hu Laifu placed in the living room.
Plastic bucket, frowned, but said with a smile, "You've got what you want when you're here, why do you still bring so many things."
Hu Fei picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He sneered in his heart and brought a bucket of tea oil. He deliberately said that he was bringing so many things. This was obviously an irony.
This has a capacity of five kilograms, which is ten kilograms of camellia oil. A kilogram of camellia oil costs twenty-five yuan, which is two hundred and fifty yuan. It is already very heavy for fellow villagers to come out to pay New Year greetings, but it is not.
Thinking that this guy had not helped yet, the lion started to speak loudly.
"There's nothing, just tea oil that was just released this year. I sent it to my uncle to try."
Hu Fei glanced at his father sitting opposite, with a wry smile on his face. He knew in his heart that his father's bitterness in the face of this former love rival could be imagined.
