After twelve o'clock, it is the new year. When Yang Jing returns home, he can't help but have a video chat with Gege.
My uncle's family of three had already gone back, and my aunt and second uncle's families went to live with my aunt. Only Yang Jing's family of three, Yang Jing's grandparents and Yang Jing's grandmother were left in his family.
Our house is spacious enough, and it will be even more spacious when my uncle drives over to pick up my grandparents tomorrow morning.
Yang Jing slept on the sofa in the living room. He and Gege chatted on video for more than an hour, and their phones ran out of battery. The two of them hung up the phone reluctantly. Of course, the two agreed to meet on the Lantern Festival.
Yang Jing went to Jinling to celebrate the Lantern Festival and went to the Confucius Temple on the Qinhuai River to watch the lantern festival.
Yang Jing had been to the Qinhuai Lantern Festival for four years during his university years in Jinling, but he had never been there once. This time, he and Gege made an appointment to watch this comprehensive lantern festival, which is known as the "No. 1 Lantern Festival in the World", which could also fulfill Yang Jing's dream.
That’s what Chinese New Year is all about: visiting friends, drinking, and having fun.
It is worth mentioning that Cai Yi, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo and other experts had originally agreed to come to Tianqu to see Mr. Yang before the New Year. However, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo both caught the flu before the New Year, and it was not until the fifth day of the New Year that they took the high-speed rail to Tianqu together.
Yang Jing drove to the high-speed railway station with his bodyguards to pick them up. Along with Cai Yi and the others came an expert whom Yang Jing did not know. According to Cai Yi, this expert was Professor Xiao, who specialized in calligraphy and painting and had been taken care of by Mr. Yang for a long time. This time, he also came with them to visit Mr. Yang.
"How is Mr. Yang?" Professor Xiao asked Yang Jing in the car. "Alas, it has been more than 30 years. When Mr. Yang retired and went home to enjoy his old age, we were still young."
"Mr. Xiao, Grandpa Yang is in good health and full of energy. When I visited him to wish him a happy new year on New Year's Day, the old man was wearing a bright red Tang suit, looking very fashionable." Yang Jing said with a smile while driving.
"Oh, the old man is still so energetic! The last time I visited him was three years ago. In the past two years, my youngest son had a grandson, and I was busy taking care of him at home, so I didn't have time to visit him."
Although Mr. Xiao is already 69 years old this year, he is still more than 20 years younger than Mr. Yang, a gap of a generation.
"Mr. Xiao, in my opinion, with Grandpa Yang's health and spirit, it won't be a problem for him to live to be a hundred years old. The old man is very energetic now, and he can walk around the garden in their community for half an hour every day."
"Haha, that's good, that's good! Elder Yang is in good health, this is our blessing. After the death of Master Qidian, the old generation of masters are getting fewer and fewer. These old generation masters are all pillars of the circle!"
Although there is room for people to sit in the back seat of Yang Jing's car, generally no one would sit in the back seat, so Old Xiao sat in the passenger seat and chatted along the way, and soon they arrived at Grandpa Yang's house.
Old Master Yang also knew that Cai Yi and his friends were coming to visit him today, so he was waiting at home early. Also waiting at home was his youngest son Yang Zhengyu, a deputy department-level official in Quancheng. After the Chinese New Year, he will be transferred to Tianqu to serve as the mayor, completing the key transition from deputy department-level official to full department-level official. This was said by Old Master Yang, so it should be very accurate.
The arrival of Cai Yi and his friends made the originally deserted house suddenly lively. Although Cai Yi and his friends are now recognized as big names in the circle, compared with Mr. Yang in front of them, they are just juniors.
Moreover, the four people who came here today had all been taken care of by Grandpa Yang in the past, especially Cai Yi, who was trained as a disciple by the old man. Although there was no official status between the two, their actual relationship was no different from that of master and disciple.
The other three experts also have a very close relationship with Mr. Yang, otherwise the four of them would not have come together as a group to visit the old man.
We had lunch at home, with Yang Zhengyu and Yang Jingjing sitting at the end. The old man was in a good mood to see so many younger generations coming to visit him, and he made an exception and drank two more glasses of wine.
The wine was brought by Yang Jing. Last time, after Guo Dabao picked him up at the airport, he gave Yang Jing two bottles of 1977 Moutai before leaving. Today, these two bottles of Moutai came in handy and were mixed with the newly released Feitian Moutai.
This kind of old wine that has been stored for forty years does not taste as good as the legend says when drunk directly. Old wine of this year usually has a stale flavor, so the old wine should be blended with new wine to bring out the charm of the old wine that is full of the taste of time.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Cai Yi put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Uncle Yang, I have something I would like to ask for your advice."
Everyone else calls Mr. Yang "Mr. Yang", but Cai Yi calls him "Uncle Yang", which is enough to prove that the relationship between the two is closer.
"Well, go ahead. I will tell you everything I know." The old man nodded and said.
Cai Yi looked at Elder Liu and Elder Guo, and then said, "After Xiao Jing came back from the United States a few years ago, he went to the hospital and said that he wanted to be my doctoral student. Elder Liu, Elder Guo and I discussed it and felt that it would be a waste of talent for Xiao Jing to just study for a doctorate, so the three of us decided to take Xiao Jing as our disciple. However, all three of us wanted to take Xiao Jing in, and no one could convince anyone else, so this matter came to you. You and Xiao Jing's grandfather have been friends for more than 30 years, and you have raised Xiao Jing since he was a child. You know Xiao Jing best, so who do you think Xiao Jing should follow?"
