Chapter 201 New Year
When the two returned to the agricultural machinery station, everyone asked them, "Why did you come back so soon?"
Li Zhixin said, "Don't mention it. I almost became a Tang Monk today and was kidnapped by a female donor."
Everyone:"……"
Xie Yun asked, "Which female donor is so blind? You are no longer as fresh and refined as when you first arrived. How could anyone still be interested in you?"
Li Zhixin was furious: "What do you mean? How come no one likes me? I'm fine. I'm handsome and cool."
Xie Yun added, "He's so generous, he looks like a sucker."
Li Zhixin was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Xie Yun!!!"
The veteran experts spoke up for him: "Right, right, it's good to know something new. Even though we've been living under a rock for a while, we're still pretty good!"
They then said to Xie Yun, "It's New Year's Day, don't upset the child. How did you get taken advantage of? How could there be such a good-looking takedown?"
Xie Yun: “…”
Li Zhixin: “…”
Xie Shen said, "Sister, we met Zheng Lanping, and she's attracted to my junior brother."
Xie Yun: “Ah?”
This ill-fated relationship was quite stubborn. Li Zhixin hadn't even gone to the production team, yet they still ran into each other. It was a coincidence, so what? The commune wasn't big, and everyone loved to come there to buy things, so running into each other was normal. How could they have fallen in love at first sight?
"We were shopping there when we heard someone calling me. I turned around and saw it was her. We usually don't talk, but when she suddenly spoke, I knew she had bad intentions. Then I noticed that even though she was talking to me, she kept glancing at me from time to time."
Xie Yun: “…”
Xie Shen added: "I told her I didn't know her and she wasn't familiar with me, so she shouldn't say hello. Then we both ran away."
Xie Yun wanted to say, "It's better to run away and stay away from him," but then she thought and realized that this was Li Zhixin's business and she shouldn't make decisions for him.
"Xiao Li, what do you think?"
Li Zhixin: "I'll run as fast as I can, as far as I can. I'll change my clothes in a moment. When I came here, my parents repeatedly told me to work hard, study hard, and not get involved in relationships. Relationships are prone to problems, disputes, and changes, but work and study are not. What you learn is yours, and it will always be yours."
Xie Yun nodded, "Your parents have a good idea!"
That's the truth.
Pan Changqing said: "If you really meet a girl you like, you still have to be brave and not be afraid of talking about feelings. A good relationship can help both parties grow.
My wife and I are doing very well. Even though we are now separated and it is inconvenient for us to communicate, we always have each other in our hearts. I think about her and worry about her. This was the motivation that helped me get through those years and persevere.
When I got into trouble a few years ago, she didn't cut ties with me. She used to be a high school principal, but now she's just an ordinary teacher in the south. I don't know if we'll ever see each other again in this life. I don't dare write to her for fear of getting her into trouble. She's already suffered enough from me.
After saying that, Pan Changqing sighed deeply.
Everyone became very sad.
Xie Yun said, "Not everyone is as lucky as you are, to meet a partner who is truly devoted to each other, supports each other through thick and thin, and never leaves each other."
Everyone said, "Yes, Lao Pan, you are lucky."
Pan Changqing laughed, "Who says it's not?"
Xie Yun continued, "Teacher Pan, I have something to say to you about this. Why didn't you tell us about this earlier? If you can't write to her, we can write it for you. Don't you trust us?"
Pan Changqing rolled his eyes. "How is that possible? I didn't want to get you into trouble. Thanks to you, I can still do my research here. We used to be in the same place. I worked on the farm over there, and she was a teacher in the commune over there. Later, when you needed people here, my wife found a way to squeeze me in. She said I was wasting my life there."
"Can't we bring her over too?"
Pan Changqing thought for a moment and said, "No need. My children are also over there. They should be safe if they don't have anything to do with me."
Xie Yun asked Pan Changqing to write a letter.
Professor Pan didn't dare to express his longing openly, but only hinted that everything was fine. At the same time, as Xie Yun said, he asked for some study materials, which was a kind of help from poor and lower-middle peasants.
The signature was also Liushutun Night School, not Pan Changqing himself. However, Pan Changqing used some code words that only the couple could understand, and the handwriting was his, so he firmly believed that his wife could understand it.
After writing, Xie Shen ran to send the letter.
Li Zhixin took out the snacks, candies, milk powder, and malted milk he had bought and generously placed them in front of the senior experts. "These are all gifts from me to honor my teachers. If my parents knew how much I respect my teachers, they would definitely send me more money next year. Next time my dad comes, please speak well of him and be sure to praise him."
Everyone laughed.
They knew that Li Zhixin was deliberately teasing them to cheer them up, so they started joking as well, "So you're taking advantage of us."
"hey-hey."
☆
During the Spring Festival, Xie Yun was still very busy. As a county leader, she had to visit various fronts to express her condolences.
Since no one else is taking a break, it's even less likely for her to take a break.
She had been sending New Year's gifts several days in advance, but when the New Year came, she had no time to do so. Although she had become a leader, the Li Wenrui and Qin Fuhai families she had always interacted with still treated her the same, with no changes due to her promotion.
Yu Ziqin still stuffed money into her pockets, and Old Lady Qin still stuffed nutritional supplements into her pockets.
This made Xie Yun quite happy.
She was busy until New Year's Eve, when she returned home to have dinner with her mother and brother.
Now everyone's life is generally much better. Every household has one or two meat dishes on the dinner table, and meat is added to the dumpling fillings.
The air is filled with fragrance, and the New Year atmosphere is much stronger.
After dark, the Xie family closed the door, quietly offered sacrifices to commemorate Xie Tan, and then began to eat.
No one at home drinks, so Zhang Ruifeng bought some orange juice and poured everyone a bowl. "Come on, let's clink glasses. The days are getting more and more hopeful, and I hope the next year will be even better! I hope Binbin has good luck in his work, Mumu is successful in his studies, and I hope everything goes smoothly for me every day. I hope we can all be happy and healthy."
Xie Yun and Xie Shen both raised their bowls.
"I wish my mother good health."
"I wish my sister all the best."
"I wish my brother all the best."
The three of them clinked their bowls together, took a big sip, and grinned.
Orange juice tasted better when it was cold, but Zhang Ruifeng was worried that she and Xie Shen would get stomach upset if they drank it, so she scalded it with hot water. The warm orange juice tasted very sour, so sour that it made people grimace.
They looked at each other and laughed.
