After a slight hesitation, Jiang Ying still got on the back of Gao Yan's bicycle.

Then Gao Yan rode his bicycle towards Jiang Ying's house, asking, "You must have something to tell me, right?"

"Actually, nothing's wrong!"

Jiang Ying said, "Among the New Year's benefits distributed by our cultural troupe was a pair of military boots. I know you often go hunting in the mountains, so I had someone replace the women's military boots with men's ones. I happened to be free this afternoon, so I brought them to you."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan was secretly delighted, but said aloud, "How could I possibly accept that?"

"It's alright, you gave me 20 jin of pork, it's only natural for me to give you a gift in return!"

"Since you put it that way, then I'll accept it!"

"Give!"

Jiang Ying handed the bag in her hand to Gao Yan; inside was a pair of dark blue military boots.

"Oh, by the way, just drop me off at the bus stop ahead, I'll take the bus home!" Jiang Ying added.

"How about I take you there on my bike?"

"No need, it wouldn't be good if someone saw us."

"Alright!"

Gao Yan did not insist and drove Jiang Ying to the bus stop.

"Go back now, the bus will be here soon!"

After getting off the bus, Jiang Ying said again.

"Here, take this."

Without saying a word, Gao Yan stuffed two chocolates and a few candies into Jiang Ying's hand, and before she could refuse, he sped off on his bicycle!

Looking at what she had in her hand, Jiang Ying couldn't help but smile slightly. She peeled a candy, put it in her mouth, and thought to herself, "So sweet."

Time is the least valuable thing, and also the most valuable thing.

Before we knew it, it was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Because of the Chinese New Year.

The factory stopped paying wages early.

Around 3 p.m., the machines in the workshop had already stopped.

After all, the Lunar New Year is tomorrow, so the factory didn't have much work scheduled for today.

As a result, a large crowd lined up in the corridor of the finance department.

Despite the cold weather, everyone had smiles on their faces.

Gao Yan went to the finance department to collect his salary in the morning, without having to queue in the cold wind.

I slacked off until after 4 a.m.

Seeing that it was almost time, Gao Yan left.

Anyway, no one will hold it against him for leaving early.

Unexpectedly, I had just arrived at the courtyard gate.

Gao Yan, however, saw Ma Weimin.

However, upon seeing him, Ma Weimin fled into the courtyard as quickly as a mouse seeing a cat. It was clear that his injuries had not fully healed, and he walked with an up-and-down gait.

"It seems that Ma Weimin does have some brains; he's realized he shouldn't mess with him!"

Gao Yan muttered to himself.

However, he didn't take Ma Weimin's wrongful death to heart. He would just leave him alone in the future, but if he dared to provoke him again, he would send him to my world to farm.

Around 5:30.

His wife, Li Mengyao, also returned to the courtyard house with the benefits she received from her workplace.

There aren't many entertainment options these days.

After a sumptuous dinner, Gao Yan simply took out a deck of cards and played Landlord with the two sisters.

We played until after nine o'clock.

Gao Yan sent his sister-in-law back to her room to sleep and told her to get up later the next day.

Upon hearing this, Li Mengyao blushed slightly, as if she had thought of something.

"Honey, it's getting late, let's wash up and go to bed!"

After washing up, Gao Yan pulled Li Mengyao into bed.

"The night is long and I can't sleep. Honey, do you think we should do something?"

Because they didn't have to get up early for work the next day, the couple's battle lasted for more than two hours before it ended.

pity.

The couple's dream of sleeping in was ruined by the little rascals in the yard.

It was only six o'clock, and the energetic little rascals were already setting off firecrackers in the yard.

Li Mengyao was also pleasantly surprised and simply got up to make breakfast!

Gao Yan didn't get up; instead, he stayed in bed and slept in.

Until my sister-in-law came to wish me a Happy New Year.

"Mengya, this is a red envelope from your sister and me. Don't spend it recklessly, save it as part of your dowry!" Gao Yan handed a red envelope to his sister-in-law and casually made a joke.

"Brother-in-law, I don't waste money. I've saved all the pocket money you gave me before!"

Li Mengya said proudly.

"So how much have you saved?" Gao Yan asked curiously.

"He's over fifty!"

Li Mengya whispered to Gao Yan.

"That's impressive, you actually saved so much!"

"Brother-in-law, I'm only telling you this, but please don't tell my sister."

"Don't worry, brother-in-law isn't a gossip!"

"Brother-in-law, are you going to get up? I'll bring you some water to wash your face."

Go!

While Li Mengya was bringing him water to wash his face, Gao Yan quickly got dressed.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Gao Yan asked his sister-in-law to turn on the radio, while he sat in a chair, waiting for dinner to be served.

About twenty minutes later.

Dinner is served.

We had dumplings for breakfast, with three kinds of fillings: cabbage and pork, chives and egg, and celery and beef.

I just finished breakfast.

Yang Haijun, the apprentice, came to wish Gao Yan and Li Mengya a Happy New Year. The honest young man actually kowtowed to the two of them several times.

The couple also handed him the red envelopes they had prepared.

Each red envelope contained 5 yuan.

"Navy, you only have one child at home, so have lunch at your master's house!"

After offering his New Year's greetings, Gao Yan said.

"No need, Master."

Yang Haijun shook his head.

"Fine, if you don't want to, then live by yourself!" Gao Yan knew Yang Haijun was stubborn, so he didn't bother to say anything more.
