Tan Shi rolled her eyes at him again with smiling eyes.
"Come! It's a rare time for us to meet each other. I'd like to give you a toast. Congratulations on your business being so prosperous. I also wish your business will become more prosperous!"
Tan Shi picked up the wine glass and asked Tongdao Xu to drink.
It's elegant and elegant, with a refreshing energy.
Tongdao Xu smiled, raised his glass and touched it with her. Seeing her drink it all in one gulp, he raised his neck higher and drank the wine in one gulp.
Tan Shi was very talkative, and Comrade Xu chatted with her, and gradually learned from her words that she majored in accounting at university and is currently working as an accountant in a company in the city.
I also learned that she attended Mizutori University.
He didn't know this information before his rebirth, because before his rebirth, he and Tan Shi didn't have much contact, and they rarely met each other during the holidays. When they met occasionally, other relatives and elders were usually present, so they didn't have the opportunity to chat alone.
, and, at that time, he didn’t care what she studied in college, where she worked, etc.
The two of them talked a lot today, drank a few glasses of wine together, and exchanged contact information.
And promised to contact him more in the future.
Of course, this may just be a polite comment.
…
After attending the wedding of Ge Lianghua and Feng Qinghua, it was New Year's Eve in a few days.
Unlike last year, Comrade Xu was finally able to find time to go home to celebrate the New Year this year, at least for New Year's Eve.
In fact, on New Year's Eve, his barbecue restaurant and two Internet cafes were operating normally, and the business stalls were much larger than last year.
But this year, whether it is a barbecue restaurant or two Internet cafes, he does not need to keep an eye on it personally.
There are people who help him manage it.
Zheng Qing helps him supervise the two barbecue restaurants in the city.
Xu Tonglin, Ge Lianghua and Xi Dongyang also helped him manage the barbecue restaurant in Shazhou County.
Of course, as the owner of these three stores, he must express something on New Year's Eve. He was in the city in the morning and gave red envelopes to all employees, including Zheng Qing, and said a few heart-warming words before leaving.
When I arrived, I told Zheng Qing to give everyone extra food tonight.
There are only a few employees in the two Internet cafes combined, and it doesn't cost much.
In the afternoon, he drove back to the barbecue restaurant in Shazhou County.
I also gave red envelopes to everyone in the barbecue restaurant. When I gave out the red envelopes, I also said a few words of thanks and encouragement. Before leaving, I also asked my cousin Ge Lianghua to add extra meals to everyone in the evening, and asked Ge Lianghua to help him pay more respect to everyone.
Glass of wine.
In the evening, he drove back to his hometown of Xujiacun.
He used to take a boat to and from Xujiacun and the county town. This was the first time he drove back after his rebirth.
The road condition cannot be said to be good. From the county town to Xujia Village, there is only a dirt road four to five meters wide, with ruts of varying depths made by various vehicles on the road.
Like intertwined train tracks.
The difference is that the train tracks are convex, while the ruts on this dirt road are concave.
Fortunately, Wuling's reputation as a magical vehicle is not in vain. Although his Wuling van is half old, it is not stressful to walk on such a road, but it is very bumpy.
Originally, he planned to spend this New Year at his new home in the county.
After all, the environment and conditions in the new home are much better than those in the old home.
But when he went home to discuss with his mother a few days ago, he was persuaded by her.
Mom’s reasons are not complicated, there are three main points.
First, her family must worship their ancestors during the Chinese New Year. This is a custom every New Year's Eve and cannot be changed. But if they want to worship their ancestors, she doesn't think it would be good if they don't do it at their hometown, because they are afraid that the ancestors will not be able to find their way to their new home.
Two...Ge Yuzhu will take the high school entrance examination in June next year, so even if they celebrate the New Year in their new home this year, she and Yuzhu will still have to go back to their hometown after the New Year and move around, which she finds troublesome.
Third, it is to make it easier for the juniors to come to their homes to pay New Year greetings. If they move to the county this year to celebrate the New Year, when the juniors come to pay New Year greetings, they will definitely miss out if they come to their hometown.
With these three points, and her persistence, Tongdao Xu gave up the idea of celebrating the New Year in the county town with his family this year.
When he drove back to Xujiacun, it was already past three in the afternoon.
There are remains of firecrackers left in front of many houses in the village.
Spring couplets are also posted on every door.
Most of them are red Spring Festival couplets, but a few have bright yellow, gray or purple couplets.
This is a local custom. If someone has died in the family in the past three years, the color of the couplets will not be red.
Because he had enmity with Xu Hengbing before, Xu Tongdao subconsciously glanced at Xu Hengbing's house after driving home and entering the village.
As a result, at a glance, I saw bright yellow Spring Festival couplets posted on the door of Xu Hengbing's house.
At that time, Tongdao Xu frowned slightly.
Because he remembered that Xu Hengbing’s father had been there for four or five years, and according to custom, Xu Hengbing’s house should have red Spring Festival couplets posted this year.
Bright yellow Spring Festival couplets can only be posted if someone in the family dies that year.
Did Xu Hengbing post it randomly this year? Or did someone in his family die again this year?
The possibility of posting randomly is very slim. Even if Xu Hengbing is not in tune, no one will mess around with this kind of thing.
During the Chinese New Year, who would be taboo about this kind of thing? Isn’t this a curse on one’s own family? In the words of the old people, doing this will not bring good fortune.
So... the Xu Heng Bing family died again this year?
Xu Hengbing's family is not prosperous, and only Xu Hengbing and his mother are left in the family, so who died this time? Xu Hengbing? Or Xu Hengbing's mother?
This matter lingered in Comrade Xu's mind, and he planned to go back and ask his family - who died in the Xu Hengbing family?
It's not that he is too curious, but that he feels the need to know.
If Xu Hengbing died, he would no longer have to guard against Xu Hengbing's revenge on their family.
But if Xu Hengbing's mother dies, then Xu Hengbing will be the only one left in Xu Hengbing's family.
And people who have no worries are very dangerous!
Even though Xu Hengbing is already lame, if a carefree person wants to do evil, he can still do a lot of evil even if he is lame.
With these thoughts in his mind, Tongdao Xu drove the van to the door of his house.
Hearing the roar of the engine, his brother Xu Tonglu and his sister Ge Yuzhu quickly came out of the house. Some people from the neighbors also went out to watch the fun.
Yes!
Although what Tongdao Xu drove back today was an old van, in these days, in the eyes of most people in the village, it was still a sight to see, or something strange to see.
Why is it that no family in Xujia Village currently owns cars or vans? The most expensive car in the village is currently a tractor.
"Brother, you are back! Mom was still talking about why you haven't come back yet. Mom has been waiting for you to come back to worship your ancestors!"
As soon as Xu Tongdao turned off the car, he heard his sister Ge Yuzhu's voice jumping for joy.
"Xiaolu, come here and help me move my things!"
Comrade Xu opened the car door and got out of the car. He greeted his younger brother, opened the back door, and took the lead in moving things out of the car.
When he came back today, he bought a lot of new things.
