Li Dong paid a quick visit to all the big shots in Jiangbei's political and business circles. It was not until the 29th of the twelfth month that Li Dong finally stopped.
It was a simple New Year greeting, but Li Dong was exhausted.
It was only then that Li Dong completely understood what it meant to speak the language of the person and speak the language of the ghost.
Those who could make him visit were not simple people.
And these people, who were not simple, naturally had their own independent personalities. Their personalities and habits were very different.
Some big shots liked to be polite. When Li Dong visited, the other party could hold him and talk for a long time without repeating their words. Moreover, Li Dong was too embarrassed to interrupt them the whole time.
When Li Dong was used to being silent, when he visited the other party, he was silent, but the other party was even more silent than him.
If Li Dong did not speak, the other party could hold a teacup and sit for an entire day without speaking. This made the atmosphere awkward.
These two types of people were actually easy to deal with. At least, their attitudes could be seen clearly.
The third type was even more troublesome. You could not see their attitudes at all. If you laughed, they would laugh. If you were silent, they would be silent. Anyway, no matter how you changed, they would be able to continue.
You could not tell what these people were thinking and whether they were kind or malicious towards you.
Even for the first two types of people, Li Dong could not tell whether they were real or fake.
Of course, at this moment, Li Dong did not care whether they were real or fake. Paying a New Year greeting was an attitude. Once his attitude was expressed, he could not control whether others were kind or malicious towards him.
…
Just as he finished his New Year greeting task, in the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Li Dong was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside.
Since dawn, the sound of firecrackers had not stopped in Pingchuan.
Li Dong yawned and grumbled, "If only there was a day when fireworks were banned."
Just as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
When Cao Fang heard his words, she said disapprovingly, "Banning fireworks? That depends on whether the people agree or not. Besides, if there are no firecrackers during the New Year, is it still called the New Year? "
Li Dong chuckled and said, "Mom, don't be so serious. As for whether you agree or not, that's not important. If the government really wants to interfere, then it's useless no matter what you say. Once the ban is issued, I guarantee that there won't be any firecrackers in Pingchuan. "
"Who are you trying to fool?" Cao Fang said in disbelief.
Li Dong smiled and didn't say anything. He really wasn't fooling around.
Now that I think about it, everyone might not think much of it. Setting off firecrackers during the New Year has been an old tradition for many years. Can the government ban it just because they say so?
In the past, Li Dong wouldn't have believed it either.
Everyone had the same thought. The law does not punish the masses. Everyone was setting off firecrackers. What else could you do to me?
However, Li Dong clearly knew that if the government were to be serious, their efficiency would be extraordinary.
In his past life, there was a year where Ping Chuan was imprisoned for a year. At first, everyone didn't think much of it.
When the New Year arrived, the entire plains were completely silent. There wasn't a single sound.
The government directly cut off the source. They even arranged for special forces to patrol the area during the New Year. No one dared to stand out.
In the end, during the New Year that year, the single Li Dong would have forgotten that it was the New Year if he didn't have to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The topic was a little off topic. Li Dong didn't continue the topic. He was just grumbling. If the firecrackers were really banned, the flavor of the year would be reduced by half.
As he put on his clothes, Li Dong said, "Mom, remember to knock the next time you come in, okay? I'm already an adult. You didn't even tell me you came in. If … "
"What? You're my son. What are you afraid of? Besides, you didn't lock the door. I just pushed it and came in … "
Cao Fang rambled on for a while. Li Dong looked helpless. He couldn't be bothered to continue arguing. When his mother finished, he hurriedly said, "Mom, do you have something to say?"
Li Dong reminded Cao Fang. She hurriedly said, "I almost got you into a ditch. Get up and pack up. We're going to the Qin family."
"To the Qin family?"
Li Dong muttered. Cao Fang nodded and said, "It's the New Year. Let's go there and have a look. I've prepared a gift for you. Be polite when you visit. Also, ask the Qin family's girl if she wants to come to our house for the New Year. Your grandmother and uncle will be here this year. Let everyone meet them. "
"Your classmate, Wang Jie, has a child. Ah Feng is getting married soon. You'll be 23 after the New Year …"
"Mom, I'm 22!"
Cao Fang rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "We're talking about the nominal age. What 22? Besides, 22 isn't young. Your dad was your age when he was …"
Seeing that his mother was going to talk about the past again, Li Dong said helplessly, "I know. I'll go. However, it's hard to say if Yuhan will come. Many people from her family are coming. Her grandparents are here for the New Year … "
"Then you have to go! Alright, let's not talk about it. I'll add some things for you. Bring them all over. "
Cao Fang did not talk to him anymore and left the room in a hurry.
Li Dong did not know whether to laugh or cry. He got up and washed up.
When he washed up and went out, he was shocked.
Good lord, there was a gift box that was as tall as a person in the middle of the living room. Those who did not know would think that it was a grocery store.
Seeing that Li Dong came out, Cao Fang packed up and said, "Go and have breakfast. If you're alone, I'll go with you …"
"No, no, I'll go!"
Li Dong did not dare to let his mother go at this time. She wanted Li Dong to marry every woman she saw.
Ever since Wang Jie brought the child over to wish them a New Year, his mother had become obsessed.
Now, all she could think of was grandchildren, grandchildren, and grandchildren …
As for who her daughter-in-law was, Cao Fang did not care anymore. It did not matter if it was the Qin family's girl or the Shen family's girl, as long as she could give her a grandson.
After a simple meal, Li Dong carried a lot of gifts with some hesitation. Before he went out, Cao Fang did not forget to remind him, "Be sweet with your words. Remember to ask the Qin family's girl to come to our house for New Year's Eve dinner."
"Got it."
"Have you prepared the red envelope? After all, there are a lot of people there. They are all the children of the elders. If you don't prepare it, I'll help you prepare it. Wait for a while. "
"No, no, I'll do it myself on the way."
"That … that thing is not enough. Feng bought me a few new sweaters last time. I haven't worn them yet. Why don't I take them out and bring them with me …"
"Mom, I'm leaving!"
Li Dong did not dare to continue listening to her nagging. He carried the gifts and ran out, huffing and puffing.
Seeing that he ran fast, Cao Fang looked a little embarrassed.
When she saw Li Chengyuan wandering around as if nothing had happened, Cao Fang suddenly said angrily, "You are so free. You don't care about such a big thing. Is he still your son?"
Li Chengyuan looked innocent and said helplessly, "I was about to put up the couplet."
"It doesn't matter if the couplet is late. Why do you think I'm worried about Dongzi going alone? If I knew it, I would have gone with him."
"Don't make trouble."
Cao Fang suddenly glared and said, "How did I make trouble?"
Li Chengyuan's mouth twitched for a while. He smiled dryly and said, "Then you tell Dongzi that I'll go to the station to pick up Lan Lan."
"Oh, I almost forgot about that. Then you go. Are you really not letting Nanming and Qingqing come over? "Cao Fang was suddenly distracted and said with some concern.
There were a lot of people from the Cao family this year. Cao Fang was afraid that Li Chengyuan would feel uncomfortable, so she asked Li Lan to come over for the New Year.
However, as for Li Nanming, Li Chengyuan refused when Cao Fang mentioned it.
"Forget it. Sister-in-law doesn't want to move. Let Nanming and Qingqing accompany her for the New Year." Li Chengyuan said perfunctorily and did not say anything more.
In fact, Li Chengyuan really wanted to let Old Li's family celebrate the New Year. The key was that Li Nanming was not in tune. He was afraid that if Li Nanming came, Li Dong would not like to see him.
It was fine in normal times, but it was embarrassing during the New Year.
Since Li Qing did not let Li Nanming come, it was not good for Li Qing to let her come alone. Li Chengyuan did not mention it again.
Hearing his words, Cao Fang nodded and did not try to persuade him again.
In fact, she was just being polite. It was okay for Li Lan to come, but if Li Nanming really came, she would feel uncomfortable.
…
The Qin family.
Because of the advance notice, when Li Dong arrived, Qin Yuhan was waiting downstairs.
Seeing him get out of the car and take out a lot of gifts from the trunk, Qin Yuhan said with a smile, "Why are you so polite today?"
"Isn't it the New Year? I came to visit father-in-law, how can I not prepare some gifts?"
"Glib!"
Qin Yuhan laughed. After looking at the gifts, she said with a smile, "It's definitely not prepared by you. Did Auntie ask you to bring them?"
Li Dong immediately laughed and said, "Smart! It seems that you can be a detective. "
"Come on, do you think I don't know your personality? If Auntie didn't ask you to bring them, you would have come empty-handed. "
Li Dong said embarrassedly, "Look at you. You think I'm stingy? Do you think I'm stingy?"
"You're not stingy. The key is that you have a big heart." Qin Yuhan said.
This was not the first time this guy came to the Qin family. He had never brought any gifts before. He always came to eat and drink and ran away after eating.
Qin Hai and Yang Yun didn't care about this. After all, they met often and were familiar with each other.
Qin Yuhan didn't care about this. The main thing was that there were relatives at home today. Grandparents, uncles, aunts, and little cousins. If Li Dong came empty-handed during the New Year, it would be embarrassing.
Without saying anything more about the gifts, Qin Yuhan briefly introduced who was at home and then went upstairs with Li Dong.
After entering the Qin family, Li Dong felt that he didn't come in vain.
It was the New Year, and Li Dong came to visit early in the morning. Qin Hai and Yang Yun were full of smiles.
Especially when they saw Li Dong carrying a lot of things in big and small bags, the couple was even happier.
It wasn't that they lacked these things. The main thing was their attitude.
A while ago, after Yang Yun resigned from Far away, she didn't treat Li Dong well.
On one hand, it was because she felt bad about leaving. On the other hand, it was because the relationship between Li Dong and Shen Qian had been spreading in the company. Yang Yun was even more depressed.
Now that she saw Li Dong coming to the Qin family for the New Year, Yang Yun felt much better.
The two smiled and invited Li Dong into the house. Then, they introduced Li Dong to their relatives.
The Qin family's relatives were simple. Qin Hai had been doing well in the past few years, so the Qin family spent the New Year with him.
Other than Qin Yuhan's grandparents, Qin Hai only had a younger brother.
Qin Hai's younger brother was young. His son and daughter were young too. They were probably in their teens.
Li Dong greeted everyone with a smile. Then, he gave red packets to the two elderly people and the child.
The elderly people and the child were very happy, but Qin Yuhan's Second Uncle and Second Aunt frowned slightly. They glanced at Li Dong and then at Qin Hai and his wife. They scratched their heads when they saw them smiling.
Seeing that Li Dong was talking to the two elderly people, Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt pulled Yang Yun.
Yang Yun was confused. Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt waved and pulled her to the kitchen.
When they entered the kitchen, Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt took a breath and said, "Sister-in-law, is this Yuhan's boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you mention it before?"
Yang Yun said with a smile, "It's the child's business. After all, they're still young. I forgot to tell you about it."
Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt frowned and said, "Isn't Yuhan still studying? Is her boyfriend her university classmate? "
"No, he's her high school classmate."
"High school? What about now? "
"She's not going to school now. She's doing …"
Just when Yang Yun wanted to say that she was doing business, Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt interrupted her immediately, "Sister-in-law, you're silly! Yuhan is a top student in Capital City University! Both of you are executives in a big company. How can you let the child do as she pleases? "
"He's her high school classmate, and he even dropped out of school. How can you treat such a person with a smile? Sister-in-law, what are you thinking? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't agree to it. Aren't you looking down on our Yuhan? "
Yang Yun frowned and interrupted her when she heard that, "Keep your voice down. Don't let anyone hear you."
Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt saw that her sister-in-law was a little unhappy, so she quickly smiled and said, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law. I'm just saying. But sister-in-law, you really have to think about it. Let me tell you, I have a nephew who just graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China last year. He's quite a handsome man. I wanted to tell you about this yesterday, but I thought that Yuhan is still studying, so I didn't want to tell you. But now that Yuhan has mentioned it herself, I'll say something. My nephew, everyone knows him. After he graduated, he entered a big company to work, and now he's getting an annual salary … "
The corner of Yang Yun's mouth twitched for a while. She was a little depressed.
No wonder her sister-in-law was so attentive for the past two days. She must be thinking about her daughter.
Hearing that her sister-in-law wanted to introduce her nephew to Qin Yuhan and that she was not interested in Li Dong, Yang Yun was afraid that she would ruin it, so she quickly interrupted, "Let's not talk about this. Zhang Ying, let me tell you, it's impossible. Also, Li Dong isn't a dropout. He's a student of the University of Jianghai. Also, he's the boss of a company now. He started his own business, and he's in love with our Yuhan. Don't cause trouble for me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being nice to you. If your brother gets angry, I won't be able to stop him. Do you understand? "
Seeing how serious Yang Yun was, coupled with the fact that Yang Yun and her husband were living a special life now, Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt was a little unhappy. However, she still smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. I'm just saying it casually. It's okay if you don't want to hear it. However, you and my brother really have to think about this. After all, Yuhan is still young … "
"I understand. We'll talk about this later. I'll go out first."
Yang Yun threw down this sentence and no longer paid attention to her. She was too lazy to say more about some things.
For example, Li Dong was the boss of a company Far away. Yang Yun was able to deceive them with some vague words.
On one hand, Qin Hai was working Far away now. Yang Yun was afraid that they would overthink it.
On the other hand, Qin Yuhan and Li Dong were only boyfriend and girlfriend. If she told her sister-in-law about it now, this woman's big mouth would spread all over the world.
Regardless of whether Li Dong and her daughter could be together in the end, Yang Yun did not want everyone to know about it.
There was a huge gap between the Qin family and Li Dong now. If this matter was spread out, there would definitely be people gossiping about it. People would say that he was trying to get rich and powerful.
If his mouth was not clean, he could say anything.
Seeing that Yang Yun left the kitchen, Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt pursed her lips. Her sister-in-law was really not calculative at all.
Her niece was so popular now. Wasn't it stupid for her to settle down so early?
However, it was not her daughter after all. Moreover, they had to beg the boss now. Therefore, Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt mumbled and did not say anything else.
