Their community is an old one, and everyone has lived here for more than ten years. They are very familiar with each other. During the Chinese New Year, they will visit each other. It’s not really about wishing each other a happy new year, but just chatting about the past. Although they live in the city, they still pay attention to neighborhood relationships, which is completely different from the communities in later generations where people don’t even recognize their neighbors next door.
But in previous years, Li Jianguo would just visit other people's homes, but this year, someone came to his house early.
The leader of this group of people is Aunt Wang from the neighborhood committee, Wang Chunhua, who is known as the loudspeaker in the community. However, Li Xiuyuan has hardly seen Wang Chunhua in the community recently. He goes out early and comes back late all day long.
Still in his pajamas and sleepy, Li Xiuyuan walked out of the bedroom, rubbing his eyes. Anyone who saw him would think he was just a boy next door.
But Wang Chunhua, who had come to pay New Year's greetings since eight o'clock in the morning, put down the peanuts and melon seeds in her hand and stood up from the sofa the moment she saw Li Xiuyuan.
"Director Li, Happy New Year! I came to wish you a happy new year."
In fact, she came early, and Li Jianguo and Zhang Qiuhe wanted to wake Li Xiuyuan up. It was ridiculous for the child to be sleeping soundly when there were guests at home, especially since Wang Chunhua asked Li Xiuyuan if he was awake as soon as she came in.
But Wang Chunhua stopped Li Jianguo and his wife, saying, "Xiuyuan is usually very busy. It's finally the New Year, so we must let him have more rest."
Li Jianguo and his wife also felt sorry for their son. He looked very glorious on TV last night, but he had been out since noon and didn't have a hot meal until he came back around nine o'clock in the evening.
"Aunt Wang, Happy New Year. Just call Xiuyuan home." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile and sat up on the sofa.
Then I greeted and wished a happy new year to other neighbors, including this uncle, that uncle, this aunt, and that aunt.
The attitudes of other people towards Li Xiuyuan were a little more indifferent. They even felt that Wang Chunhua's behavior just now was a bit too much. He was just a young man, so what?
As for whether it will happen or not, only Wang Chunhua himself knows it clearly. At present, he is still on secondment to the Street Office. The leader said that if he does a good job, he can be officially transferred here in two years.
At her age, she is not the type to pursue advancement, but the treatment for retiring from the neighborhood committee and retiring from the street office is different.
People living in this world always have desires. If you don't have the desire to make progress, you will think about making more money. If you don't want to make more money, you will just want to have an easier time at work.
Even if you don't have any of these pursuits, what about your family? Do your children want to go to a good school? Do your parents need to find a good doctor when they are sick?
Don’t even mention it. If someone had no desires or requests for anything, he would have become a monk long ago.
"Xiuyuan, the work is so tiring during normal times. You must take some time off during the New Year."
"Well, I slept until after nine o'clock." Li Xiuyuan smiled and chatted with Aunt Wang. Li Xiuyuan also paid attention to other people. In fact, Li Xiuyuan wanted to change the topic away from his own work.
It's Chinese New Year, and we are old neighbors. What's the point of chatting about our own work?
Let’s chat about some family matters.
But Wang Chunhua always pulled him over several times: "The work at the end of the year has been felt by my street office, not to mention your unit in Xiuyuan. I heard our Director Deng say that when he went to the government office to report on the work several times, he didn't see you..."
Li Xiuyuan listened and joked, "It's a bit busy at the end of the year, but Auntie, your Director Deng talks a lot, haha!"
