Bu Yi shook his head: "No, I'm going to visit some comrades for the New Year. After that, I'll go to Nanshan Village. I won't be back tonight."
Bu Ling understood his brother's feelings and didn't try to persuade him. He just turned around and quickly went into the yard, saying, "Brother, why didn't you say so earlier? Wait for me!"
Sangshen knew exactly what she was going to do, and explained, "Lingling is going to prepare things for Old Man Yu and the others. I'm going to help Lingling." Then she turned and went back to the courtyard.
A short while later, Aunt Fang, Uncle Lin, and Sangshen returned carrying six packages. Buling then introduced each of the six packages to her:
"Brother, this package contains cotton and fabric. Take it to Professor Zhang so they can make a hat or gloves for her. It'll be convenient. And this is some New Year's goods that Sister Fang prepared. Take some for them too."
"Besides that, there's some yarn, rice, flour, and cooking oil. Oh, and brown sugar too. Most importantly, there are four pairs of wolf-skin knee pads, just like yours. Please take those to them as well." She explained each item one by one.
After giving the instructions, Uncle Lin and the other two put a bag in the car. Once all six bags were in, Sang Zi silently took out a letter: "Please pass this on to Shen Ci."
Bu Yi took it and put it in his pocket. Sang Zi then handed over something else: "This is the key to my car. You can return it to me on the sixth day of the new year."
"Thank you, Director Sang!" Bu Yi accepted the gift and expressed his sincere gratitude.
Sang Zi waved her hand: "It was nothing!"
After giving their instructions to Buyi, the five men dispersed, each having their own people to visit for the New Year, and did not stay together.
Sangshen and Buling first visited Sangshen's colleague's home to offer New Year's greetings. Sangshen's colleagues all knew his identity, and regardless of what they thought in their hearts, they all appeared to be warm and hospitable. Their families also greeted Sangshen and Buling with smiles.
However, it felt a bit fake, so Buling and Sangs exchanged New Year's greetings and then left. Next were Buling's colleagues, starting with Grandpa Tan's house. It wasn't Buling's first time exchanging New Year's greetings, so he was quite familiar with the place.
Then came Sister Ma's house and Zhu Zhizhi's house, and finally Wu Yuanyuan's house.
Actually, there was another manager, Manager Zhu, but Manager Zhu never got involved in New Year's greetings. Even Grandpa Tan, who had known him the longest, had never visited his house for the New Year. Although Bu Ling was curious, he respected that.
Finally, they went to Wu Yuanyuan's house, and the two of them also visited all the neighbors in the compound. Finally, they returned to Wu Yuanyuan's house to listen to the gossip!
