"Just remember to think of me, write to me more often, and call me."
Xue Fu watched as the crowd in line squeezed into the entrance as the train arrived at the station.
She suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips: "We won't be able to see each other during the New Year, so I had to tell you in advance..."
"Happy New Year, Gu Chong."
"Remember to think of me."

The most important thing at the end of the year is production accounting.
Qingtang Village has once again successfully exceeded its production target for this year.
The surplus output after the materials are handed over is their reward for a year of hard work.
The fishpond exceeded its target, and today's pigs are just as plump.
It's another bumper harvest year in Qingtang Village, and everyone gets a good share.
Gu Chong's work points for the year have been calculated and confirmed.
He led Gu Fei, each carrying a bucket, and lined up in the open space in front of the commune canteen to wait for their share.
When there were only two households left to go, someone came out of the commune office, scanned the people on the dam, and looked around the crowd for someone.
In a moment, he found it.
He stared at the man and shouted, "Hey! Gu Chong! You have a phone call!"
There were many people around, and it was a bit noisy. Afraid that Gu Chong wouldn't hear them, the person who was shouting yelled again, "Gu Chong, answer the phone! It's your girlfriend calling!"
The shout silenced the commune's courtyard for a second.
Then all eyes turned to Gu Chong, looking back, forward, left, and right.
Gu Chong had a rare opportunity to experience being the center of attention.
His usually calm and composed face changed slightly, and Gu Fei, the quick-witted young man, noticed that his brother's ears had turned red.
Gu Fei tugged at her brother, realizing who was calling. She looked more excited than anyone else, her face flushed with excitement: "Brother, go answer the phone! It's Sister Afu calling!"
Gu Fei hurriedly urged his brother to go over.
He followed behind him like a little tail, carrying the bucket.
His brother is so heartless; he's never taken him along when he called Sister Afu before!
Sister Afu wouldn't let him touch the letters she sent more than a couple of times, saying she was afraid he'd break or wrinkle them! He's not that clumsy!
He finally got a call from Sister Afu today, and he wanted to talk to her too!
"Oh, that's great. Even after Xue, the educated youth, went back to the city, he still talks about that Gu boy. He's a sentimental person. I thought they had broken up."
"Don't exaggerate. That Xue educated youth is so good. He sends things back to the Gu brothers every few days. Those two brothers have really climbed up the social ladder. Tsk, how great, they turned their lives around in an instant. I wish my son was that capable."
"I really didn't expect this..."
"......"
These words reached Gu Chong's ears, and he felt a slight stirring in his heart, unable to suppress his joy.
Xue Fu, whom he loved, was just that good. How could she be the kind of heartless person?
Gu Chong secretly enjoyed this scene where he openly declared his close relationship with Xue Fu.
His expression couldn't hide it; his lips curved into a wide smile.
He wanted everyone to know more than anyone else that he and Xue Fu had a very good relationship.
Anyone trying to poach you, hurry up and get out of here.
Gu Chong appeared calm, but in reality, he took long strides, taking three steps at a time, while Gu Fei had to jog to catch up with him, displaying his eagerness to keep up.
“Afu”.
Gu Chong's voice sounded slightly breathless, his emotions fluctuating.
Xue Fu's cheerful yet subtly excited voice rang in his ears through the microphone: "Gu Chong! My acceptance letter arrived! I got into Shanghai University!"
Like a child who has just received an award and is asking their parents for a reward, Xue Fu chuckled to herself, "Hehe, these past few months of studying haven't been in vain."
"My parents are so happy. They bought several strings of firecrackers and are going to set them off downstairs in the apartment building later. They're making a big fuss about it."
Gu Chong listened patiently, his lips curving upwards in a smile, and he said happily, "Yes, Afu is great."
Xue Fu said smugly, "Of course."
"By the way! Did you receive the New Year's gift I sent you? How was it? Did you like it?"
"I received it yesterday, and I like it very much."
That was a large package that Xue Fu had sent.
There was more than one gift; Xue Fu packed it up tightly, afraid of forgetting anything.
They used everything for food, clothing, and daily necessities.
It's like a complete home living package, as if they're worried that this big man might live a rough life and not be able to take good care of himself.
When I received it, my chest felt full and my heart swelled up with satisfaction and happiness.
Gu Chong was about to say something to express his love for the gift when someone tugged at his sleeve. He turned around and glanced down at it.
It turned out to be Gu Fei.
Gu Fei frowned, staring at the microphone he was holding, her eyes overflowing with longing: "I also want to talk to my sister, and I really love your gift!"
Gu Chong: "".
He hadn't even said two words yet.
You brat.
Reluctantly, they still gave it up.
Despite his brother's resentful gaze, Gu Fei finally managed to get a chance to speak.
"elder sister!!!"
"Hey! Xiao Fei!"
The two of them were excited.
I haven't spoken like this in a long time, and I just couldn't stop talking.
Gu Chong stood to the side listening to the two of them chattering away like joyful little birds, unable to get a word in edgewise.
He wanted to interrupt and say a few words, but his dim-witted younger brother didn't give him a chance at all.
In the end, Gu Chong only got time to say "Happy New Year" and "Bye-bye".
As soon as he hung up the phone, Gu Fei was still grinning from ear to ear, savoring his chat with Sister Afu. He was feeling quite happy, but when he turned around and met his brother's sharp black eyes, his heart immediately turned cold.
"elder brother..."
His brother, on the contrary, grinned at him.
Gu Feihan's hair stood on end, and he turned and ran off with the bucket in his hand.
Don't mess with a man in love.
Don't bother men who are in a relationship.
Gu Fei, the light bulb, said this.
Xue Fu was overjoyed.
After receiving her acceptance letter from the post office and returning home, she and her parents opened it together. Upon seeing the four large, gold-embossed characters of Haicheng University, a rarity in those days, along with her name printed below, Xue Fu cheered with joy.
She immediately turned around and hugged her parents tightly. She noticed that her parents were in tears, covering their faces and wiping away their tears.
As if she had become the top scholar in the imperial examination, the two of them wept with joy.
Xue Fu didn't disturb them, and then immediately ran to the phone booth to make a call.
She wanted to share this good news with Gu Chong!
She's amazing!
This is the best New Year's gift this year!
Ji Yazhi and Xue Mingcheng bought several rounds of firecrackers and set them off every day from the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month to the first day of the first lunar month.
This year's Spring Festival was truly festive.
The three members of the Xue family were all very happy.
