Chapter 232 Welcoming the New Year



The tickets for the four siblings to return home were bought by the Ning family. In those days, without work permits for government officials and others, it was difficult to buy a sleeper berth.

This time, the Ning family very luxuriously bought them four soft sleeper beds, which made Ming Er very happy. He suddenly felt that the big hotel was not attractive at all and he had to ride in a soft sleeper.

I don't know why the soft sleeper is so attractive.

Before leaving, Ming Leyao met with Han Chen. They didn't say much, but they ended up making a deal.

At this point, the medicinal materials in Ming Leyao's space can be sold.

However, the items sold were all from previous years, so Han Chen had to find someone to pick them up himself.

No matter how good the sleeper berth is, you will get tired of it after sleeping in it for seven or eight days. When Ming Er got off the train, he had lost the excitement he had at the beginning. He felt clingy all over. It was only when he heard that he was going to eat the food cooked by Aunt Qian that he became much more energetic.

After returning home, she naturally had another intimate chat with the old man. The old man also asked about the Ning family, and Ming Leyao told him in detail.

"Hey, this old Ning, if he didn't tell me earlier, how much can he accomplish with his limited power?"

The old man sighed here and felt a little depressed. After Ming Leyao persuaded him, he felt better.

In the following period of time, Ming Leyao focused all his attention on the construction of the newly developed land. Due to the huge workload, it would take two years to complete.

She was so busy that it was almost the New Year, and a few months passed in a flash.

Fu Wencheng finally got a vacation and came to Beijing to reunite with Ming Leyao.

Instead, the old man had to go on a business trip to the next city, and he was gone for several days.

Without the elders, all that was left were the younger generations. Fu Wencheng seemed to have turned on some kind of switch, and he kept hanging out with Ming Leyao in the space all day long.

Sometimes Ming Leyao was annoyed and didn't cooperate, so he put on a pitiful look and said, "I haven't seen you for several months, don't you miss me?"

Helpless, she could only cooperate.

A few days later, when the old man came back, Fu Wencheng stopped his ridiculous behavior and behaved like a gentleman again.

In the following time, Ming Leyao started to buy things for the New Year with Aunt Qian. There were many new supplies at the end of the year, and there were many people in the family, so they had to buy more.

After purchasing for a few days, they found that there was still a big gap in meat. Fu Wencheng directly took Ming Leyao to Dabie Mountains, saying that he wanted to hunt some prey.

The two stayed in the mountains for three days and brought back a wild boar, a dozen pheasants and eight rabbits.

They carried it home in the middle of the night, and Fu Wencheng brought people to deal with it the next morning.

Fortunately, the yard was big enough and there were many people, so the process was quick. All the pork was cut up in one morning, and the pheasants and rabbits were also cleaned up at the same time.

Just the day before the Chinese New Year, the old man brought the leader back.

"grandfather?"

"Hey, my dear granddaughter, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting prettier and prettier."

The big boss took off his coat and greeted Ming Leyao with a rosy face.

"Are you done with your work?"

"There's no way this work is done. This isn't a break from the busy schedule. I'm just coming here to spend a couple of days as an ordinary person."

"Secretary Lu is here too?"

"Yes, my home is far from here. The boss has something to do during the New Year, and I can't go back, so I just came here to join in the fun."

"That's great. The New Year should be celebrated with a lively atmosphere."

The big boss came and this time he lived in the front yard. The back yard was occupied by Mingguang and his men, so Ming Leyao didn't arrange anyone to live there.

In the evening, she cooked a sumptuous dinner and divided it into two tables.

"Are these the children you adopted?"

"Yes, Grandpa, you look more energetic now than before."

"Good, good, you are kind-hearted and decisive. You are worthy of being my and Lao He's granddaughter. Grandpa is proud of you."

"I'm a little ashamed of what Grandpa said."

"Hahaha, this is what you deserve. You must be exhausted this year. Lao Ning called me a few days ago and said that he would return to Beijing to report to me personally. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

The old man stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth and said in surprise, "Old Ning is coming back?"

"Yes, I haven't been back for a long time. Before, the situation didn't allow it, and later my body didn't allow it. Now... we can finally be reunited."

"That's a good thing. He has been in the upper city for more than 20 years. It's time for him to go back to Beijing."

"That's right. That old guy is stubborn. He never tells me anything and solves problems by himself. He won't come back until he achieves his goal. I tried to persuade him several times, but he just refused. He has such a stubborn temper. Come back and talk to me about it."

"OK."

Ming Leyao did not get involved in work matters. She just listened happily and occasionally interjected. Fu Wencheng was the same. He was only busy picking food for her. He did not care about what the two elders said unless they mentioned him specifically, then he would reply.

"Wen Cheng, there will be an assessment for the special operations forces next year. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes, Grandpa. I have great confidence in the soldiers under my command."

"Okay, okay. If we get excellent results in this assessment, we will promote Le Yao's contribution. We also hope that Le Yao can help people from other military regions."

"Grandpa, this is not difficult. It's just a matter of your words."

"My dear child, the country has you, which brings happiness to me and the people."

"I only know that there is a country before there is a home. Only when our country is prosperous can my little family live in peace."

"Look at this girl, she speaks so sweetly."

Mr. He pointed at Ming Leyao and said with a smile.

"Yes, Le Yao's words really touched my heart. In the past, we were always helpless and many heroes sacrificed their lives. This time, we must also hold our heads high and show our abilities to the world."

The words of the big boss ignited the passion of Mingguang and his friends. Suddenly, they felt that the previous pattern of focusing only on their own small family was too small...

They also want to contribute.

The next morning, Ming Leyao and Aunt Qian started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. The old man and the boss still had some things to do, so they left home early.

Fu Wencheng took Mingguang to pick up He Zhengbin, and the rest of the children helped to tidy up and clean the room to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

The New Year's Eve dinner naturally had to be sumptuous. Ming Leyao even specially got a lot of oil and made fried meatballs, spiced meat, tofu rolls, etc. for everyone.

Ming Leyao did not waste the remaining oil. She made spicy chicken and spicy diced rabbit. These spicy dishes are the favorites of the two old men.

However, considering the old man's physical condition, Ming Leyao did not put too much chili, but it should be spicy at least.

At noon, He Zhengbin entered the house and went straight into the kitchen following the smell.
