After the dinner, Luo Yi sent Li Xiuyuan home. When they arrived at Li Xiuyuan's house, Luo Yi got out of the car with Li Xiuyuan and took out two boxes of gifts from the trunk.
"No, Luo Yiren, what are you doing? Let's not be so formal with each other." Li Xiuyuan waved his hands repeatedly. When others gave Yun Yanchang food, they would give him a portion as well, but it was not right for Luo Yi to give him something.
"Secretary Li, I'm not being polite. This is just a small token of my appreciation. It'll be useful when you visit relatives and friends during the New Year."
"No, no, Luo Yi, this is not appropriate. You should take it back quickly. I appreciate your kindness." Li Xiuyuan waved his hands repeatedly. Luo Yi was the deputy director and he was a member of the leadership team. They were all colleagues. How could he accept it?
"Secretary Li, I'm welcome. I really prepared this specially. If you hadn't taken care of me this year, I would probably still be ostracized by Mr. Pang and sitting on the bench. How could I be in this situation today? You have to accept it no matter what. Otherwise, I'd be looking down on you, big brother." Luo Yi insisted on giving it to him.
It was right at his doorstep, so Li Xiuyuan didn't want to make a big fuss. At worst, he could just wish Luo Yi a happy new year and then go back.
When Li Xiuyuan came back with the things, the family had not yet rested. His sister Li Qingqing had bought new clothes for the two children for the New Year and was letting the children try on the clothes.
The two children were jumping around in their new clothes, their hearts filled with joy. Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but recall his childhood. Every Chinese New Year memory started with his father buying him new clothes, putting them in the closet, and taking a look at them every day.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the scene in front of him, his heart full of memories. In fact, Li Jianguo and his wife who were sitting on the sofa also had their eyes full of memories. The youngest son who used to chase for candy, now in the blink of an eye, was holding cigarettes and alcohol given by others.
The key point is that the gifts given on August 15th are still in the storage room, and now I have to bring them back for the New Year.
"Xiuyuan, come over here after you put your things. I also bought you a set of clothes. Come over and try them on to see if they fit you well." Li Qingqing waved at Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, put his things down in the utility room, and went back to the living room.
"Sister, I'm so old now, why do you still buy me clothes?" Li Xiuyuan said as he took the clothes handed to him by his sister. It was a brand new suit that looked quite cheap.
"Sister, this dress is not cheap."
"Why do you care about the money? Put it on and show it to me. You are a leader now. How can you go out without any clothes to wear?" Li Qingqing said with a smile.
"Sister, this dress is so nice. If I wear it, I will overshadow my leader. It's not suitable." Li Xiuyuan said as he looked at the dress.
"It's okay, just put it away and wear it when you become a leader. This is a gift from your brother-in-law and me." Li Qingqing said.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan stopped being polite with his sister and went back to change his clothes. It must be said that clothes make the man, and this dress looked pretty good on him, especially since in the past two years, the trend in the market was not wearing official jackets, but suits.
Li Qingqing not only bought one for her younger brother Li Xiuyuan, but also bought one for her father and mother. It was not to support her mother's family. Now her mother's family did not need Li Qingqing's support. She had lived there for more than half a year, and her younger brother had helped her solve all the problems related to her son's schooling.
It's Chinese New Year, so it's normal to buy some things for family members. My parents-in-law have reminded me of this in advance.
