“Knock, knock, knock…”
There was a sudden knock on the door outside, and Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment.
Everyone in their family is at home, who could it be?
After all, it’s Chinese New Year, and no one visits relatives on New Year’s Eve.
He stood up and looked out the window. Xu Guangtian had already put on his cotton jacket and went to open the door.
"Who is it?" He asked before even reaching the door.
"Hello, is this Comrade Xu Xiangyang's home?" a female voice came.
Xu Guangtian opened the door in confusion. Standing at the door was a young girl about twenty years old. She was wearing a silver-gray coat and a black hat on her head.
"Who are you?" He looked at the man and found that he was dressed quite well.
Although he didn't know what kind of fabric it was, he could tell that the clothes looked good. There was a reason why they looked good: they must be expensive.
"I'm Gu Panyun, a colleague of Comrade Xu." Gu Panyun said with a smile, "You are Xu Xiangyang's father, right? Hello, uncle."
Because I had asked around at work before coming here, I could guess a little bit.
Xu Guangtian nodded and said, "Come in, it's quite cold outside. I'll go call him."
After closing the door, he asked Gu Panyun to wait a moment while he went to call someone.
Xu Xiangyang opened the door and came out. He was a little surprised to see the newcomer. "Comrade Gu, why are you here?"
"You kid, let someone come inside and sit down to talk. It's so cold outside." Xu Guangtian interrupted him directly and rolled his eyes at him.
Xu Xiangyang: ???
What's going on?
But what the other person said was right, so he said, "Comrade Gu, come in and sit down."
He opened the door and let the person in.
Xu Guangtian on the side sighed. This kid is really something. He is usually a smart guy at work, but why is he like a wooden block in this aspect?
This lesbian came to my house during Chinese New Year, but she was totally clueless!
Because the two people were of the opposite sex, Xu Xiangyang did not close the door tightly. Although they were all family members, she was a girl after all.
Seeing this, Xu Guangtian was speechless, turned around and went back, getting angry after seeing too much!
Gu Panyun put down the things in his hand and looked around the small house.
She said, "This room is so clean. Does Comrade Xu live here alone?"
Xu Xiangyang nodded. He designed this house to have one bedroom and one living room. So the two rooms were very spacious, separated by a wall.
"Comrade Gu, why are you here today? How are you feeling?"
When Gu Panyun came back before, he had not removed the stitches yet. He needs to have a good rest after coming back to remove the stitches.
She has been running around for so long and is not feeling well. It's really hard for this girl.
Gu Panyun heard his caring words and smiled and said, "I'm in good health and have almost recovered. Maybe my illness has been cured after I returned home. I just miss home."
After returning home yesterday, she first hugged her mother and cried, then hugged her father and cried, and then hugged her brother and cried.
After crying, the illness was almost cured.
Now I just feel comfortable all over, and I can eat and drink.
Seeing that she was indeed in good spirits, Xu Xiangyang said, "That's good."
Gu Panyun glanced at him, then quickly looked away, "I just came to see you today. Isn't it Chinese New Year?"
She wanted to be the first to wish Xu Xiangyang a happy new year, even though it was a little early...
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "We are of the same generation, so why do you need to wish me a happy new year? But thank you anyway."
I guess it was because he helped Gu Panyun this time and brought her home, so he wanted to come over and thank me.
This is really unnecessary, and he can't just leave the little girl alone.
Gu Panyun pursed her lips, then smiled and said, "This is the New Year's gift I brought you. I wish you a happy New Year!"
She's the first one, right?
Xu Xiangyang looked at the gift box in front of him, thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me, I'll give you a New Year's gift too."
It’s Chinese New Year and people come to your house with gifts. It would be awkward to ask them to take them back. It would be better to give them gifts in return.
It's a matter of reciprocity, so everyone gives and receives.
When he heard that he also had a gift, Gu Panyun immediately sat down and waited obediently.
She was a little excited. What kind of gift was it? Comrade Xu actually prepared a gift for her in advance. What did this mean?
Could it be, him?
Xu Xiangyang found a cashmere scarf in the space, grapefruit-colored and pill-free.
There are plenty of these things, and they are not cheap in this day and age, at least they are not available for purchase.
Gu Panyun saw the cashmere scarf in his hand and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Is this for me?" she asked.
This color is so pretty!
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, "I don't know if you like it or not."
I don’t like the fact that you can change the colors, but other than pink and red, the other colors don’t seem to suit her.
"I like it!" Gu Panyun nodded happily, immediately took off her own scarf and put on this one.
"It's so warm, it's made of cashmere." She likes this scarf very much.
Seeing that she seemed quite pleased, Xu Xiangyang stopped talking. As long as she liked it, that was fine. Reciprocity was the norm.
"Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back first." Gu Panyun's face turned slightly red, and she stood up and was about to leave.
I originally came here to express my gratitude and give you some New Year gifts.
Now that the things have been delivered, she has to go home too.
Xu Xiangyang did not try to persuade him to stay. After all, if he chose to come at this time, he was not here to eat.
Why invite people to dinner if it’s not mealtime?
"Okay, I'll take you there." Xu Xiangyang put on the coat hanging at the door and walked her out.
The whole family was leaning on the window at the main door, looking out, and the girl saw it all when she came in just now.
Xu Xiangyang sent the people away, then closed the door. Turning around, he saw a family leaning against the doors and windows.
He didn't say anything, went into the house, took out the New Year gifts, and then brought them into the main room.
"What are you doing? Leaning on the window to look?" He put down his things and said, "This little girl is a colleague of ours from the Grain Bureau. We came back together from this business trip. She sent some gifts to express her gratitude."
Looking at their shifty eyes, Xu Xiangyang felt it necessary to explain.
He doesn't care, but don't let his family tell others about it, as it will give the girl a bad reputation.
Wang Xiumin looked as if she understood, and then rummaged through the gift box.
"Wow, these are all good stuff." She took out a box of pastries, a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and two bottles of Moutai liquor.
There was also a fruit gift box inside, which contained a big red apple.
This apple is similar to the one Xu Xiangyang took out, not as big, but two times bigger than the one given by the supply and marketing cooperative.
These four gifts are quite substantial and most people cannot afford them.
Xu Xiangyang became a little curious. Could it be that this Gu Panyun came from a powerful family?
You know, these things can't be given away casually by a child. At least he believes that ordinary families who buy these things have to give them away to build relationships, rather than letting children give them away as gifts.
