…
On this day when the school is closed,
The driver took them home and then washed the car in the yard.
Xu Mengyao returned to the room, took out two red envelopes she had prepared in advance from the desk, and walked towards the garden.
Aunt Wu was taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard, chatting with the driver next to her from time to time.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Wu," Xu Mengyao took out the red envelope,
"Xiaomei and I are going back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year tomorrow. I wish you a happy New Year in advance and hope you enjoy your vacation.
Hearing this, Aunt Wu stopped what she was doing, wiped her muddy hands on her apron before taking the red envelope with a grateful smile.
"Thank you, Miss. Be careful on your journey and Happy New Year."
"Ms. Wenjuan, let me take you back." Uncle Zhang suddenly spoke with a hint of insistence in his tone.
Xu Mengyao smiled and refused: "No, we can just go with Big Brother's truck tomorrow. It's almost New Year's Day, and the roads are not safe. Don't go alone. It would be great to go back early and spend time with your family."
After hearing this, Uncle Zhang sighed slightly, but finally nodded.
Over the past six months, Xiaomei has used her spare time to study the market and continuously optimize transportation and sales plans based on Xu Mengyao's suggestions.
Huang Wenbin's team of drivers has gradually expanded, and the Huang family's coal business has been put on the right track, not only providing a stable supply for the power plant, but also bringing considerable income to the family.
A week ago, Huang Wenbin called, his voice filled with unconcealable joy:
"Juan, we need to get a few more trucks. The power plant uses a lot of coal in the winter, and Uncle Cheng has even hooked us up with people from the power plant in the next county. Dad and I just went there yesterday to talk. We're having a drink there tonight, otherwise I would have called you yesterday."
After hearing this, Xu Mengyao felt happy.
"Great, big brother. You're expanding the market so quickly. I'll order a few more cars later."
"We can add four or five cars. Ask Xiaomei how many are enough in the public account. I have already called my former instructor. If there are any demobilized comrades, please introduce them to me first. We will definitely have extra drivers in the future." Huang Wenbin assured confidently.
This time they bought five more trucks.
Before Huang Wenbin came to Haicheng, his mother packed a lot of local specialties from Huancheng for them.
He instructed: "You can go to the post office to send these to your second grandfather's house later, and take the rest to Haicheng. Didn't you find a car repairman in Haicheng? Since you have this fate, you can't go empty-handed this time."
When they went to the car sales company to pick up the car again, Huang Wenbin handed the New Year gifts to the three masters, and even did not forget Li Ming's share.
"These are some of our local specialties, and the chefs all take them home to try."
Li Ming took the gift with a look of surprise on his face. "Oh, thank you so much! You came all the way here and brought us so many gifts. I'll go reserve a table now and treat Mr. and Ms. Huang to a simple meal tonight."
Xu Mengyao quickly stopped him: "Manager Li, you're welcome. We have something else to do tonight and have to return early tomorrow morning. Let's get together again next time."
Master Zhang, however, put his arm around Huang Wenbin's shoulders and refused to give in.
"Wenbin, you guys can't leave no matter what. Let's not go to the restaurant, let's go to my house for dinner. We agreed to eat at my house last time, so if you don't go today, you can take this thing back."
Master Wang also nodded and said, "Old Zhang is right. My place is small, so I won't compete with him for this, but I will buy the good wine."
Master Zhang persuaded from the side: "Miss Huang, let's all get together. It won't take long."
Seeing the enthusiasm of the masters, Xu Mengyao couldn't refuse.
"Well, since the masters are so kind, you guys can stay. However, Xiaomei and I do have other things to take care of, so just have a good time together."
Li Ming saw this and quickly expressed his understanding: "Then please don't delay Miss Huang any longer. I'll prepare a few more delicious dishes for you tonight and we can have some fun together."
Huang Wenbin drank until midnight before going home.
The next day, Xu Mengyao was worried that they had hangovers and headaches, so the originally planned return trip had to be postponed for a day. She decided to go visit her uncle's family.
There were people coming and going in Big Head Brother's shop. My aunt was busy cleaning the table. When she saw them coming, she quickly asked the waiter next to her to take over. She smiled and walked over quickly.
"Wenbin, you're here, come in and sit down."
"Aunt, business is good in the store. Is this the new waiter?"
"There are a lot of people eating before the festival, and we are also going to go back to celebrate the New Year in a few days. If I didn't have to do things for Datou and the others, I really wouldn't want to close the shop and take a break." My aunt looked distressed.
"Big Head Brother and Sister Xu Li are getting married. No wonder I was wondering why my aunt has become younger. It seems she is going to be happy to marry a daughter-in-law." Xu Mengyao joked.
My aunt smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I'm finally going to do something for them. I'm so happy. When the eldest and the youngest get married and have children, my mission in this life will be complete."
Xu Mengyao shook her head disapprovingly. "Aunt, which organization gave you this mission? In my opinion, the most important thing in life is to be happy and healthy."
Hearing this, my aunt burst into laughter: "You little girl still doesn't understand. By the way, I have a favor to ask of you. You guys went back early, so help decorate the big head wedding room. Don't let your grandma book too many banquets. It's just our own family. Xu Li's family is too far away and no one can come."
Xu Mengyao took the money and promised earnestly: "Don't worry, aunt, we will definitely decorate the new house to your satisfaction."
On the truck back to Huanhuan City, except for Xu Mengyao and Xiaomei,
