After resigning, Cheng Tianyuan immersed himself in the construction site. He went out at dawn and didn't get home until after ten o'clock in the evening.
Xue Ling doesn't need him to take her to and from get off work. She rides her bicycle in and out every day.
Director Liu held a short meeting for everyone and said that on the 24th day of the Lunar New Year, he was going to take annual leave. The first newspaper of the New Year would not be published until the eighth day of the new year, so that everyone would have to go to work as early as the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
"Our subscriptions have grown steadily every quarter this year, and it's all thanks to everyone. I reported to my superiors and planned to give everyone a year-end bonus of 100 yuan, plus some new year's goods, rice, oil, bacon, etc.
May everyone have a prosperous New Year!”
"Wow!" Everyone clapped happily.
Director Liu laughed and said: "Tomorrow is the Little New Year. Everyone, please finish today's work and check it carefully two or three times. Don't make a big mistake beforehand, which will definitely affect your mood during the New Year. The final draft will be sent to the printing press tomorrow.
The security comrade is responsible for checking the safety of the office. By the way, everyone should pack up their things, lock the locks that should be locked, and take back everything that should be taken back."
"Yes, Director!" Everyone responded unanimously.
After the meeting, everyone rushed back to their desks in high spirits.
Xue Ling had already made the small columns yesterday and took them out to check carefully.
Wang Qing curiously asked in a low voice: "Hey, where are you and your husband going to celebrate the New Year? Your husband's house or your mother's house?"
"My mother's family." Xue Ling replied: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law will stay here in the county to celebrate the New Year. My husband has bought the tickets a few days ago. We are going to take the last train to the imperial capital to spend the New Year with my parents."
Liu Xing on the side heard it and couldn't help laughing.
"Your husband really dotes on you! If you leave this to me, I will definitely refuse! There is only one Spring Festival in a year, and every household has family reunions. Naturally, my wife has to go home with me to celebrate the New Year."
"Go!" Xue Ling laughed and scolded: "No wonder you are in your twenties and still can't get a wife! I am the only daughter in my family. I have been married for more than half a year. Why do I have to go back to accompany my parents!"
She couldn't help but think of Cheng Tianyuan, and said happily: "That's what my husband said. He said that my parents-in-law will live with us from now on, and we should be filial to them, no less than one during the New Year. From now on, every New Year, he will accompany me to my parents' house in the imperial capital.
Pass."
"Wow!" Wang Qing couldn't help but his eyes sparkled, and he praised with envy: "This is the nation's good son-in-law!"
Liu Xing pouted and muttered: "If you are willing to marry me, I will accompany you to your parents' house to celebrate the New Year..."
Wang Qing suddenly blushed and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about! I live in the county town, you are from here too, and your mother's family and your husband's family are both together - hey! What did I say?! Don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Xing smiled softly and stared at her with twinkling eyes, full of doting.
Xue Ling laughed loudly and encouraged: "What are you waiting for? Before the Civil Affairs Bureau takes the annual vacation, hurry up and get the certificate!"
Liu Xing gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Good idea!"
Wang Qing was so ashamed that she ran away to the toilet.
Liu Xing stared at her back with a smile, tenderness in his eyes.
Xue Ling threw him a paper ball and successfully brought him back to his senses.
"If you like it, chase it quickly. A real man, there's no point in dawdling! Take practical actions and don't always try to take advantage of words. Over time, other girls will be angry."
During this period, Liu Xing kept hinting to Wang Qing in words, intentionally or unintentionally, and she had already heard it.
Wang Qing is also a very thoughtful person. He pretends not to know on the surface but knows everything in his heart.
Xue Ling whispered: "The fact that the girl didn't explicitly reject you proves that you are good at it. You just pry once or twice, and there is no actual action at all. What do you want people to think about you? Have an affair in the office? Go to hell with you!"
"
Liu Xing quickly hugged her fists and begged: "King Lingling, please help me! Please help me! Please sympathize with me!"
He smiled bitterly and whispered: "I have no experience, and I don't know how to pursue her. I originally thought that as a colleague, I would get the upper hand first, but she seems to treat me as an ordinary colleague. I am in a hurry, so I can only use it as usual.
Ask her questions and look for opportunities to spy on her."
Xue Ling felt funny in her heart!
In this era, there is no WeChat and no button, communication and transportation are not developed, and most young people do not have the opportunity to fall in love freely.
Fortunately, both of them are intellectuals and pursue true love and true feelings.
"You're stupid! Once the spy is discovered, you have to act privately! For example, chat on the phone, send some small gifts, etc. You have a good writing skills, why don't you write your own love letter?"
Liu Xing's eyes lit up and she whispered: "She doesn't have a phone at home, and neither do I. It's a good idea to send a small gift! I'll go buy a gift after get off work and give it to her with a love letter."
"Children can be taught!" Xue Ling gave him a thumbs up and said, "I wish you success, and I wish lovers will eventually get married."
Liu Xing rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "If I can successfully hug this beauty, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."
"I'll wait!"
I'll write you a reply.'
"Oh! I remember." Liu Xing smiled and thanked him.
Liu Xing hurried out during his lunch break and got busy when he came back.
That afternoon, many colleagues completed their work in advance and sent the manuscript to the editor-in-chief for review. Then they went to the director's office to receive bonuses and new year gifts, and left with smiles.
Xue Ling received the bonus and put it in her bag. She carried a bunch of bacon, a bucket of oil, and a bag of polished rice, and asked the security guard to help bundle them behind her bicycle, and happily drove out of the rental house with the New Year's goods.
"Xue Ling! Xue Ling!" someone shouted from behind.
Xue Ling quickly squeezed the brakes, put her toes on the road, turned around and looked - it was Liu Xing!
He ran over panting and looking not very good.
Xue Ling thought it was something he wanted to confess, and quickly asked: "What happened? Did Wang Qing confiscate it?"
"No." Liu Xing gasped to adjust her breathing and lowered her voice: "She turned away with a blushing face and didn't say anything. But when I saw her shy look, I still felt a little confident."
Xue Ling chuckled and said, "That's it! Congratulations first!"
Liu Xing pointed at her and said: "I came here to tell you something... about you."
Xue Ling was a little confused and asked: "What can happen to me? I'm fine!"
Liu Xing looked back and said, "I went to hand in the final draft earlier and heard that old woman Zhen Zhen discussing next year's new plan with Director Liu. She told the director that the popularity of the English column was not high.
, and a small column requires an editor, which is not cost-effective. I hope the English small column can be canceled next year.”
Xue Ling was a little surprised!
The newspaper hired her because she is a professional English talent. If the small column is canceled next year, wouldn’t she be unemployed?!
