Afternoon.
It was lunchtime.
Dong Xuebing had drunk too much and had been working in the morning. He was tired and did not rest. Han Jing looked at Dong Xuebing and asked Xie Jing to help her brother-in-law to find a room to take a nap. Dong Xuebing did not reject her and went upstairs to lie on his bed. Anyway, it's only after midnight, and it's still early.
One hour …
Two hours …
Three hours …
Dong Xuebing doesn't know how long had passed.
Dong Xuebing was woken up by the sound of firecrackers exploding in the room, and he woke up from his sleep. He looked around and noticed the sky had turned dark. He took a deep breath and rubbed his swollen head. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He washed his face with cold water, and he felt more refreshed and comfortable.
Huh …
Dong Xuebing went downstairs.
It's past 8 pm, and the Spring Festival Gala Night has started.
Dong Xuebing took out his phone and looked at his phone. There were seven to eight missed calls and more than a dozen text messages. Dong Xuebing called them as he walked downstairs to wish them Happy New Year and send some text messages to settle the calls as soon as possible. Actually, Dong Xuebing doesn't know some of his former subordinates' calls and might have forgotten their names. But he still pretended to be familiar with them and even greeted them. Dong Xuebing is not putting on an act. This is the nation's way of doing things. Dong Xuebing doesn't even know the names of his subordinates, and how is he supposed to greet them? He can't tell them I don't know them. It's Lunar New Year, and Dong Xuebing can only use this method to fool them.
Dong Xuebing guessed someone must have called the wrong number, and that's why he did not know who it was. But the government does not care about how much work you have done or how capable you are. Sometimes, you must not make any mistakes. What if it was an important leader who called, and Dong Xuebing could not remember the name of that leader? Pretending to know Dong Xuebing is the safest way to greet Dong Xuebing. Also, Dong Xuebing is thinking of getting promoted to Deputy Bureau Chief.
Downstairs.
Dong Xuebing went down to the first floor of the villa.
Xie Guobang, Xie Guoliang, Xie Guojian, and the rest are using their phones to call the sofa, chairs, windows, etc. Even Xia Yanzhen and Ci Lifen are doing the same. Their ranks are much higher than Dong Xuebing and know many people. That's why they are busier than Dong Xuebing.
After replying to the missed calls, Dong Xuebing quickly drank a glass of water. "Xiao Jing, where is Senior Feng? Are you sick again? "
Xie Jing laughed and said. "I am doing well. I am watching Xiao Hao set off the firecrackers outside."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Where are the firecrackers? I'll let two of them go too. Why didn't you go, Little Jing? "
"I just came back." Xie Jing replied helplessly. "It's too loud, and it hurts my ears. Hehe, but if you want to go, I will go and take a look."
"Are Xie Ran and the rest outside?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"Yes. Hou Ming and Auntie are here too." Xie Jing said.
"Alright. Let's go and take a look." Dong Xuebing walked out first.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The sound of firecrackers outside is deafening!
Dong Xuebing opened the door and saw Xie Hao laughing and lighting the firecrackers. Hou Ming is also joining in, and the rest of the elders are surrounding Senior Feng in the backyard.
"Wow!"
"Hahaha!"
"It's so beautiful!"
Everyone is cheering, and it's Lunar New Year.
"Ah!" Xie Hao saw Dong Xuebing. "Brother-in-law is here!"
Xie Guoyue smiled. "You are awake? Come, Xiao Bing. Light two firecrackers too! "
"Ok, Auntie." Dong Xuebing also went over to light two firecrackers. But Dong Xuebing is not someone who likes to light firecrackers.
Xie Hao shouted. "Brother-in-law! Light one more! There are so many firecrackers! "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Alright. You all go ahead and have fun."
Senior Feng had recovered and is in high spirits. He laughed and went over to light a firecracker with Xie Guoyue and Han Jing's help. Senior Feng had not been in such good health for a long time. Last year and the year before, he was bedridden most of the time during Lunar New Year. From this, it can be seen how effective Dong Xuebing's massage is. Xie Guoyue and the rest are overjoyed. Although Xie Guoyue had been working in Shandong Province with her husband, Hou Xingan, and did not interact much with Dong Xuebing, she had a good impression of Dong Xuebing after this incident. She no longer suspects her beloved Xiao Huilan had found such a young husband.
It's not about height.
It's not about age if you are capable.
Xie Guoyue immediately called Dong Xuebing over. "It's almost Lunar New Year's Eve dinner. Let's have a drink later. We had not drunk together before, but I heard you can hold your liquor well. Why can't you drink a little in the afternoon? You still want to sleep? Huh? "
Han Jing laughed. "He had been working overtime. It's tiring."
"Working overtime? Why is he working overtime during Lunar New Year? "Xie Guoyue turned." Also, isn't Xiao Bing a divisional level leader? No one can work overtime, and it's not his turn. "
Han Jing replied. "Xiao Bing's subordinates are busy. Some need to return to their hometown, and some need to prepare for Lunar New Year. He had been working overtime since last Sunday, and he had gone to work at his workplace this morning. He had just returned from work in the afternoon, and he had just started his holiday."
Xie Guoyue looked at Dong Xuebing differently. "Good job."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "It's my duty. Since everyone is not working overtime, I have to work overtime."
Senior Feng heard this and nodded. "That's right. Xiao Bing is not bad. I think all of you are not as good as him!"
Xie Guoyue snorted. "You're just biased."
Everyone knows Senior Xie is biased. Although Senior Xie always criticizes Xie Huilan and dislikes her at home, everyone knows he dotes on her the most. Now, Dong Xuebing is going to be one of them. Dong Xuebing had argued with Senior Xie in the past and even called him 'Old Xie' after drinking. By right, Dong Xuebing should have some feelings for Senior Xie, but Senior Xie still likes him. Some things are just like this, and it's hard to explain.
Xie Guoyue felt Senior Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan's temperament is too similar to Senior Dong. Senior Dong is famous for his stubbornness, and Xie Huilan is also the same. As for Dong Xuebing, not many people had heard of him, but everyone in the family knows about his bad temper.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xie Hao and the rest are still setting off firecrackers!
At this time, Xie Guobang, Xie Guoliang, and Xie Guoliang walked out to chat with Senior Feng and watch the youngsters setting off firecrackers.
Han Jing sighed. "It's rare for us to have a family reunion."
Xia Yanzhen laughed. "That's right. But Xie Huilan is not back."
Suddenly, Xie Huilan's phone rang on Dong Xuebing's phone. He looked at the number and answered. "Hello, Xie Huilan. Everyone is talking about you. You are the only one who did not come back this year." After chatting for a while, Dong Xuebing passed the phone to Senior Feng. "Grandpa, Xie Huilan wants to wish you a happy Lunar New Year."
Senior Feng snorted. "Why didn't she come back to visit me?"
"She is too busy and can't leave." Dong Xuebing passed the phone to Senior Feng.
Old Master Xie took the phone and said a few words in annoyance. Although his tone was not good, the expression on his face was still very gentle.
Dong Xuebing knows his grandfather is a soft-hearted person.
After a while, Xie Huilan passed the phone to Xie Guobang, Han Jing, and the rest.
Xie Huilan had called all the elders one by one. Since she is not back, she must make a few calls.
But when Xie Huilan hung up on Han Jing and passed the phone to Dong Xuebing, something unexpected happened. Xie Hao and Hou Ming's fireworks were knocked over by Xie Hao. But the fireworks were lit and fell to the ground. The mouth of the fireworks is facing Senior Feng, Xie Guoyue, and the rest!
"Ah! Watch out! "
"Damn! Move aside! "
Xie Hao and Hou Ming screamed!
This is too dangerous. Although it is called a firecracker, it's no different from a gun. No! If it explodes on a person, it will be fatal! Every year, many people are blinded, crippled, or killed because of this! That's why everyone tensed up!
"Shit!"
"Senior Feng!"
"Guoyue! Move aside! "
The guards were standing a distance away and heard the commotion. They panicked and ran towards Dong Xuebing, but it's too late!
Everyone took a deep breath.
Only Dong Xuebing is calm. When Xie Hao shouted, he turned to look at the direction where the fireworks are pointing.
The next moment!
The small firework went off with a bang!
"Danger!"
"Watch out!"
Someone shouted!
But before Xie Guoyue and the rest could run away and cover their faces to protect themselves, Dong Xuebing appeared in front of Senior Xie, Xie Guoyue, and the rest in the blink of an eye. Dong Xuebing waved his hand expressionlessly, and a small firework was slapped away by the back of Dong Xuebing's hand. It flew into the sky and bloomed with a whoosh!
