"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, and you are still here pretending to work, not answering the phone and not going home. Where is your responsibility as a man?"
Huo Qianli's tone gradually became agitated. The young man opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Huo Qianli took a deep breath, "I went to see your dad today. Your dad could have asked me for a lot of help. But he only asked me for one thing. Do you know what it is?"
The young man finally said, "Can you please persuade me to go back?"
Huo Qianli shook his head. "He wanted to invite my wife and me to have dinner with your mother tonight. He said that she has always been a lively person, but she probably hasn't had dinner with anyone for a long time."
The young man's heart suddenly tightened and tears instantly filled his eyes.
"Go back. This is something you should do. Take good care of this family. You are the mainstay of the family now. Those things will all be in the past. In the long life, they are actually nothing. Right?"
The young man nodded heavily.
Two minutes later, Huo Qianli waved to the lobby manager, stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, manager, he is my nephew, I am taking him home now, please settle his previous salary. This happened suddenly, so forget about today's salary, just consider it as my apology."
The lobby manager rolled his eyes and said, "This is inappropriate. He just leaves when he wants to. Who will take care of our business? This will have a great impact on our business."
Huo Qianli said calmly: "I asked him, you don't have the rule of deducting wages when you leave the job, and he is just a part-time temporary worker, just serving dishes, and there are more than a dozen people with him, so it shouldn't be affected by him alone, right?"
The lobby manager took a cautious attitude and said, "You can leave, but I will deduct five days' salary. It is really difficult for me to deal with this sudden incident."
Huo Qianli chuckled nonchalantly, "Comrade, when I'm talking to you about reason, you'd better listen. When I'm not talking to you about reason, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
The lobby manager glanced at Huo Qianli, hesitated for a moment, and finally made the right choice.
A few minutes later, Huo Qianli led the young man out of the lobby of the restaurant.
When the curtain was opened, cold air rushed over fiercely and the young man suddenly froze in place.
On a deserted street, under the streetlight ahead, a figure that hadn't been seen for half a year was standing alone with the lamppost, in the cold wind, stamping his feet from time to time.
"mom!"
The young man, who had untied the knot in his heart, shouted, rushed over, and hugged the woman to her surprise.
The woman slowly placed her hands on the young man's back and whispered softly, "It's okay, it's okay, Mom is okay."
Letting go of his mother's embrace, the young man looked at her face, which looked almost several years older, and his tears warmed her cold cheeks.
"Okay, okay, Mom is fine. Let's go home. Mom will make you your favorite dish, stewed beef with potatoes, and also make dumplings for you."
"Um."
Huo Qianli stepped forward and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, let's go. I'll take you home."
More than an hour later, in Dongjiang County, Huo Qianli put the mother and son down and took out two gift boxes from the trunk, "Sister-in-law, Happy New Year."
The woman waved her hands repeatedly, but Huo Qianli couldn't help but put them in her palms and said, "No more words, I'm going back."
"I told you to eat too much! I'm ready, it'll be quick!"
"It's okay. I have things to do when I get home. Have a good New Year."
After saying that, Huo Qianli opened the car door.
"Uncle Huo!"
Huo Qianli turned his head.
"Thanks."
Huo Qianli smiled slightly and waved his hand, as if being humble, but also as if saying goodbye.
......
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Qingyue drove her son, mother, and Han Zhiyuan and his wife back to Qianfu Town.
Before they got off the car, Gu Haitao, who had received the notice early, took Jiang Qiuyan to wait downstairs of the dormitory building of the town government and "kidnapped" the people directly to Hushan Village.
The Gu family's house had already been renovated. As an "old veteran" in the town who started out in home decoration, the decoration company that was paid to do the work did not dare to be negligent at all and renovated it according to high standards. Gu Daqiang also paid them a lot of money.
Therefore, there is more than enough room and it is arranged properly.
The purpose of the Chinese New Year is to celebrate. The two sides have a close relationship, and Gu Haitao and Jiang Qiuyan are already at the stage of discussing marriage. Thinking that the old couple Han Zhiyuan would like some liveliness after a year of loneliness, Huo Qianli did not force himself to stay in the town, and simply moved into the Gu family.
What’s even more different this year is that the eldest son of the Gu family also returned with his wife.
His wife, who was born and raised in Jingcheng, was somewhat condescending and disdainful when she first married the eldest son of the Gu family. However, in recent years, with the rapid expansion of the Gu family's financial strength, her attitude has become less forced courtesy and more sincere respectful.
She had never gone back to the village with Boss Gu to celebrate the New Year before, so she was quite shocked when she saw the current situation of Hushan Village, the street lights, the courtyards and the large industrial park. When she learned that they were all built by her father-in-law when he was the village chief, she actually felt a little more proud.
When she learned about the identities of Han Zhiyuan, Cheng Suqing, Jiang Qingyue, Huo Qianli, Jiang Qiuyan and others, the little pride she had left was instantly crushed. In this lively and reunion New Year festival, she lowered her head, was obedient and well-behaved.
Similar to the last time he came to Hushan Village to celebrate the New Year, Han Zhiyuan still liked to stroll around the village and chat with Cheng Suqing with his hands behind his back when he had nothing to do.
This time there is also the "do nothing" Gu Daqiang.
