"What kind of partner? I haven't found my soulmate yet! Don't make wild guesses."

"It's my sister's classmate. The roads are icy and difficult to travel on, so she asked me to bring something for my sister."

"Hey! Judging from your voice, you must be a beautiful woman. Look at how all smile you have."

You're not getting any younger, why don't you ask your sister to introduce you to someone?

Yang Wei's smile vanished, and his face darkened: "What are you talking about? You can't joke like that!"

That kid's already in elementary school! If my sister heard you say that, she'd definitely slap you all over the face. That's my sister's best friend!

The colleague was terrified and begged for forgiveness repeatedly: "I was wrong, I was just joking with you, please don't tell Xiaomei."

Xiaomei is too reckless; she dares to say anything. I wouldn't dare mess with her.

Yang Wei rolled his eyes at him. He was a chatterbox and a coward. No wonder his wife always scratched his face.

Judging from his fate, he wouldn't want to get married. He can earn his own money and spend it as he pleases, living a very comfortable and free life. How wonderful it would be to be single and happy!

…………

After leaving Yang Wei's place, Chen Hong went straight to the shipyard and entered Geng Dazhi's office, where the young man was repairing the engine room.

An apprentice recognized Chen Hong and quickly invited the mother and daughter to sit down, then ran off to call Engineer Geng.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Geng Dazhi finally returned with his hands covered in black engine oil.

Taking off his greasy work gloves, Geng Dazhi vigorously rubbed them with soap while saying to Chen Hong:

"The road is difficult to travel, why are you being so polite and insisting on making this trip before the New Year?"

We're old friends, and I've received plenty of gifts from you regularly. There's no need for you to bring me New Year's presents in this freezing weather with your child.

Chen Hong asked Yu Yang to call him "uncle," and said with a smile, "I went out to sea and only got home last night."

I should have come much earlier, it's all too late. I was thinking, I hope you guys don't just stay away during holidays.

By the way, why haven't you guys started your holiday yet? Chinese New Year is just two days away.

Geng Dazhi wiped his hands clean and added some more hot water to Chen Hong's teacup.

"This year, due to the heavy snowfall, fishermen were unable to go out to sea. Many people brought their fishing boats in for repairs. There's just too much work to be done before the New Year."

If they waited until after the Lunar New Year to make repairs, they were afraid it would interfere with their fishing operations, so the factory had no choice but to work overtime to finish the job.

The out-of-town workers will have a holiday tomorrow, while the local workers will have to work overtime until the afternoon of New Year's Eve. There's no other way; the work is all piled up at once, so the workers can only have less rest.

By the way, where did you go this time, the Sea of ​​Japan or the Pacific Ocean?

Chen Hong put down her teacup and led him to the car by the door to unload his things.

"You'll know once you see the New Year's gifts I sent, hehe, I'm off to the Pacific Ocean."

I got a boatload of bluefin tuna, but unfortunately I couldn't keep them all; they were all snatched up by several big hotels.

However, I've saved some other seafood for you; you can add a dish to your New Year's Eve dinner.

Geng Dazhi was both helpless and admiring: "You're incredibly brave. You dare to go to the Pacific Ocean all by yourself in this kind of weather?"

However, you were incredibly lucky to return safely, bringing back a boatload of bluefin tuna.

I told Chen Hong, you should probably shut up from now on! I bet what you've gained this time is enough to last you eight or ten years.

Live a good life, raise the children well, and don't take any more risks. Enough money is enough; how much is too much?

Chen Hong was quite moved. Although this person was a tech geek, he was a member of the China Communications Construction Company and was loyal and devoted to his friends.

It wasn't for nothing that she gave him the honey from her space for over a year; it seems she can't stop now, and she'll have to keep sending him honey.

“When I go out to sea, I listen to the weather forecast every day. As soon as they say the weather is going to change, I start running back.”

We're not the kind of people who don't know what's going on. We came back safely and even made a lot of money.

By the way, how are you feeling? No matter how busy you are, don't forget to eat and rest on time! As they say, health is the foundation of everything.

When the topic turned to his health, Geng Dazhi perked up: "Hahaha! Chen Hong, I'm perfectly healthy right now!"

Last month, during my physical exam, all my indicators were excellent; I am very healthy!

My old ailments are completely cured and haven't recurred! Now I'm full of energy, and my work efficiency has improved.

After moving all four boxes into the office, Geng Dazhi looked at the styrofoam boxes scattered all over the floor and said in surprise:

"Are these all New Year's gifts for me?"

"They've all been moved inside, so why aren't they? Don't worry about it, they didn't spend any money to buy them."

The wine is homemade, the honey is from a friend, and the seafood is what I caught on my recent trip to the Pacific Ocean.

Oh! This box of fruit is pesticide-free, which I got through a friend. It cost me a little money. Keep it for your own consumption, and don't give it away.

Although it didn't cost much, I put a lot of effort into getting these fruits.

Geng Dazhi nodded repeatedly, grinning from ear to ear: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. The things you're giving me are all high-quality items that money can't buy."

I couldn't bear to give them away; I kept them all for my family to eat.

Although he didn't say it, he wasn't stupid. From the first time he tasted the honey Chen Hong gave him, he understood that anything that came from Chen Hong's hands was never bad.

After saying goodbye to Geng Dazhi, the mother and daughter left the shipyard. Chen Hong saw that it was already five o'clock, and there was still enough time, so she turned the steering wheel and went to the supermarket.

Chen Hong and her son embarked on a large-scale shopping spree, buying oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and various seasonings.

Beef steaks, various snacks, toys, stationery, and new toiletries.

They bought two full shopping carts in one go, took the elevator to the garage, stuffed everything from the carts into the car, and then the mother and daughter returned home laden with their purchases.

Yu Yang's little face was flushed, and she was quite excited. "Mom, there are so many people in the supermarket, it really feels like Chinese New Year!"
