"New Year's greetings are real, but I don't have any girls. Why don't you send me a few? "Xia Ruofei said with a grin.
"In your dreams!" Ling Qingxue said coquettishly, "If one isn't enough, how many do you want?"
"I don't even have one, okay?" Xia Ruofei said with a belly full of grievances.
After he said this, the two of them fell into silence.
This was because they both thought of the meaning behind what Ling Qingxue had just blurted out.
"Uh..." Xia Ruofei broke the awkward silence.
"Idiot!" Ling Qingxue said in a low voice, then said softly, "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" Xia Ruofei said subconsciously.
As soon as he said this, Ling Qingxue quickly hung up the phone.
Xia Ruofei sat there in a daze with the phone in his hand for a long time. He wondered if he should take the initiative after the New Year. The girl's feelings were very obvious.
Xia Ruofei also had feelings for Ling Qingxue.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei picked up his phone and sent Ling Qingxue a WeChat message.
Qingxue, are you free during the New Year? Come to my farm to play!
After a while, a WeChat notification sounded. Xia Ruofei opened it and saw Ling Qingxue's one word reply.
Okay!
Xia Ruofei grinned and put his phone aside. He didn't plan to go back to the Ring-Tu space. He went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and then fell asleep.
That night, Xia Ruofei slept very well. Even the sound of firecrackers in the morning didn't wake him up. He didn't wake up until almost nine o'clock.
The precise biological clock that he had developed in the army seemed to have begun to degrade. However, this was nothing. Sleeping until he woke up naturally and counting money until his hands got cramps, wasn't this the life that many people dreamed of?
If he returned home after retirement and still strictly followed the military's schedule, then he would be a stickler for the ancient ways!
After Xia Ruofei washed up, he put on his slippers and went downstairs.
Hu Zi's mother had already prepared breakfast. Ye Linyun had already woken up. He was wearing a single shirt and practicing military boxing in the courtyard. Steam was rising from his head. It was obvious that he had been practicing for quite some time.
In this aspect, Xia Ruofei could not compare to Ye Linyun. Ye Linyun had always adhered to the army's schedule. Every morning, he would wake up at six o 'clock sharp and go to the yard for physical training.
In his own words, now that he was the head of security at the Taoyuan Company, his culinary skills could not be neglected.
Xia Ruofei suspected that if it weren't for the fact that there was no way to buy a gun in China, this kid wouldn't have dropped his shooting training.
When Huzi's mother saw Xia Ruofei coming downstairs, she greeted him with a smile, "Ruofei, you're up! Come and have breakfast! "
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei replied with a smile, "Auntie, where's Qiao'er?"
"That girl is still sleeping soundly! Don't worry about her, let's eat first! "Huzi's mother said.
"Ha! She dared to call me a lazy bum yesterday … "Xia Ruofei said with a smile," She actually woke up later than me … "
Huzi's mother laughed and said, "That girl had a lot of fun last night and only went to sleep after one o 'clock. She hasn't been this happy in a long time …"
"We will all be happy in the future!" Xia Ruofei said.
"Okay!" Huzi's mother nodded and said, "Come and eat, or the porridge will get cold …"
Then Huzi's mother poked her head out and said, "Xiao Ye! Stop practicing, eat first! "
"Auntie, you eat first, I'll be done soon …" Ye Lingyun replied.
Xia Ruofei turned his head and saw that Huzi had finished a set of military boxing and was quickly doing push-ups. He smiled at Huzi's mother and said, "Auntie, don't worry about him, this guy won't eat until he's done practicing. Let's eat …"
According to the customs of the Southeast Province, the first meal of the New Year was to be vegetarian.
Because it was difficult for most people to maintain the habit of eating vegetarian all year round, eating vegetarian on the first meal of the New Year had a symbolic meaning. It was like eating vegetarian for the whole year.
Many similar customs were the same, such as not sweeping the floor or washing the dishes on the first day of the New Year. On one hand, it was to accumulate wealth and not sweep the things out. On the other hand, it was also to not work hard on the first day, because that would mean a whole year of hard work.
However, Huzi's mother's cooking skills were very good, and the ingredients were Taoyuan vegetables, so even if there was no meat, it was still very delicious. Xia Ruofei drank three bowls of porridge with the side dishes.
At this time, Ye Lingyun had finished his physical training and returned. Xia Ruofei asked him to quickly wash up and come over for breakfast. Then, he took his phone and left the villa, walking to the farm outside.
He still had to make a few new year calls, mainly to Professor Tian, Tian Huilan, and Hong Kong's Ma Xiong.
Xia Ruofei first called Professor Tian.
After the call was connected, Professor Tian's hearty voice came through. "Xiao Xia, happy new year!"
"Professor Tian, happy new year to you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. Then, he asked, "How's your health recently?"
"Thanks to you! My body is much stronger now than it was in the past! " Professor Tian said happily. "Before the new year, the school organized a physical examination for us old professors, and my health indicators were very good! Those old guys were so envious that they all asked me how to maintain my health! "
"That's good, that's good …" Xia Ruofei was also very happy. He then asked, "By the way, Secretary Tian should be with you, right?"
"Haha! Yes! "Professor Tian said." Every year at this time, she would come to my place to hide! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and expressed his understanding. For a senior official like Tian Huilan, if she didn't find a place to hide during the new year, her doorstep would be broken. Moreover, this year, she had stepped into the ranks of the Deputy Minister and the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Her situation was even worse than before. Moreover, it was not good to drive people out during the new year, so the best way was to make it impossible for people to find her.
"Professor Tian, please help me convey my new year greetings to Secretary Tian!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "I won't call her again."
Xia Ruofei was a quiet person. If it were someone else, they would wake up laughing in their dreams if they could talk to Secretary Tian of the Municipal Party Committee. How could they let go of such an opportunity so easily?
"Okay, okay, okay! She's right next to me. I've received your greetings! "Professor Tian said with a smile." Xiao Xia, if you're free these days, come to my house and play! "
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.
Xia Ruofei was about to hang up Ma Xiong, when his cell phone rang. Xia Ruofei saw that it was a number from Hong Kong and couldn't help but smile.
"Hello!" Xia Ruofei picked up the phone.
"Xia Sheng, happy new year!" Ma Xiong's voice came from the phone.
"Thank you! Mr. Ma, I wish you and your family a happy new year! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile. Then, he asked," By the way, how is Huanhuan now? "
"Huanhuan is recovering very well!" Ma Xiong said excitedly. "After a professional test, Huanhuan's score on the Autism Behavior Scale is normal. The experts said that Huanhuan has' taken off her hat '!"
"Taking off her hat" was an industry term, which referred to the recovery of autistic patients. With the recognition of a professional organization, it further indicated that Huanhuan had completely recovered.
"That's great!" Xia Ruofei said happily.
"Xia Sheng, this is all thanks to you!" Ma Xiong said with emotion. Then, he said, "Huanhuan misses you very much! She always talks about Uncle Xia … "
"Then tell Huanhuan that I miss her very much too!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "When I have time, I'll come to Hong Kong to see her!"
Ma Xiong laughed and said, "You don't have to wait until you have time. In the next two days, our family will go back to the mainland. You'll see Huanhuan soon!"
"Really? That's great … Let me think about what New Year's gift I should prepare for her? "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if it's a gift. As long as she sees you, Huanhuan will be very happy!" Ma Xiong said with a smile. Then, he asked, "By the way, Xia Sheng, I have another purpose for going to the mainland this time. I'm going to Shen City to participate in a truffle appraisal auction. I don't know if you're interested in going with me?"
When Xia Ruofei heard Ma Xiong talk about the truffle auction, his heart suddenly moved …
