After visiting the old lady, it was New Year’s Eve in a few days.
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, Su Zelin felt a little bored, so he ran to the next room.
Qin Shiqing can't always come to see me, I have to go to Qin's house occasionally.
Qin Daqing was drinking tea while Liu Sufen turned on the TV and waited for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.
"Zelin is here."
When she saw her future son-in-law, Liu Sufen turned her eyes away from the TV.
"Uncle and aunt, have you eaten yet?"
Even though we know it's nonsense, we still have to go through the process. This is the etiquette of the Xia Kingdom.
"We've eaten. You're looking for Shiqing, right? She's in the kitchen."
Qin Shiqing is very hardworking. She always helps wash the dishes after the Qin family finishes their meal, which makes Liu Sufen worry less. Zhao Lixia used to be so envious, but now when she thinks that her son and Qin Shiqing are together and the girl next door will live in the Qin family for the rest of her life, she is no longer envious and is just waiting for that day to come soon.
"Okay, then I'll talk to her about something."
Su Zelin ran into the kitchen and saw his childhood sweetheart busy working in an apron.
"Xiao Linzi, now that you're here, why don't you go have tea with my dad?"
Qin Shiqing was wiping a plate with a rag.
When she saw Su Zelin, the girl's eyes curved into two crescent moons.
"Because I couldn't bear to see my wife alone in the kitchen."
The gangster said with a grin.
"Slippery!"
Qin Shiqing rolled her eyes at him, but she enjoyed it very much.
Any girl in love loves sweet words from her boyfriend.
However, she soon discovered that the gangster had ulterior motives and that he came in not just to accompany her.
Su Zelin particularly likes the feeling of being sneaky. It was like this when he was in the Su family, and it was still like this when he was in the Qin family.
Although it was very exciting, Qin Shiqing was still nervous and her hands and feet were a little weak.
“Ping!”
Suddenly there was a sound of plates falling to the ground and breaking in the kitchen.
The two elders of the Qin family couldn't help but feel strange.
My daughter has been helping to wash dishes since she was young. She has been washing dishes for more than ten years and has never broken a single dish. But today she finally broke one.
It's okay, everything is fine!
Good omen!
After Qin Shiqing finished washing the dishes, Su Zelin moved a ladder and helped to paste the couplets on the door. After all, young people are more nimble.
Back in the living room, the Spring Festival Gala is almost here.
The mother and daughter ate melon seeds and watched TV, while the two masters drank tea.
It was almost ten o'clock when Su Zelin returned home.
According to custom, you cannot stay at other people's homes too late on New Year's Eve.
Although the two families are very familiar with each other, some rules still need to be followed.
As the sound of firecrackers was heard outside, a message came on the cell phone.
"Senior, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best in the new year, a bright future, and continuous success!"
Needless to say, it was sent by Huang Panpan.
I took out my cell phone and saw that it was just past midnight.
She must have written the message long ago and waited for this moment.
I have to say, my junior high school sister really cares about every little thing about me.
Every Chinese New Year, she always rushes to be the first person to send a message to herself.
I can't let Panpan stay with me for another ten years in this life. She must be one of the people I can't abandon.
Moreover, he wants to conquer Qin Shiqing.
The first woman that a childhood sweetheart is most likely to accept must be Huang Panpan.
After all, her junior high school sister has been by her side for many years.
…
Lijing Community, Huang family.
Huang Panpan huddled in the quilt, but her eyes were fixed on the screen of her mobile phone.
Although the New Year's greetings were the same over and over again, she was always happy every time she received a reply from Su Zelin.
“Ding dong ding dong!”
There is new news.
The junior high school girl was shocked, but after opening it, she found that it was one of her dogs.
There are many dogs like her who are flatterers in the Finance Institute. How many Su Zelin in the world can refuse a man who wants to work less for decades? What's more, Huang Panpan is as beautiful as a flower and knows how to dress up.
The other bootlickers wanted to get the junior sister’s contact information but couldn’t. I don’t know where those who got her phone number got it from, and they were all blocked.
However, this bootlicker is a cadre in the Arts and Literature Department of the Student Union, and we have daily dealings with each other, so I cannot block him and can only keep him temporarily.
Huang Panpan was very disappointed. If it hadn’t been the New Year and the student union’s relationship, she would have blacklisted the number on the spot.
Just when she was feeling a little annoyed.
“Ding dong ding dong!”
There is another new message.
"It is fate that we meet in such a vast sea of people. At this special moment, I send you a gentle greeting and blessing. Panpan, happy new year, and may all your wishes come true!"
This time it was sent by a jerk.
The junior high school girl was suddenly excited.
This New Year's greeting is a little different from previous ones.
"It is fate to meet someone in such a vast sea of people..."
My senior also feels that his and my acquaintance was destined by fate
It must be like this.
As the saying goes, where there is sincerity, even metal and stone will be opened.
The senior must have been moved by me and finally opened his heart.
I really hope I can become the senior’s girlfriend soon.
However, Teacher Zeng told me that when meeting a boy like the senior, one must be patient and take the strategy of "dripping water wears away a stone, and iron is ground into a needle" and take it slowly. If one pushes too hard, the senior might be scared away.
But it doesn’t matter, before that, there is still something that will stay with me instead of my senior.
Thinking of this, the junior high school girl clenched something in her hand, held it in her arms, a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and she fell asleep with fantasy.
At the Su family on the other side of the town, Su Zelin didn't fall asleep so quickly.
As soon as it was midnight, he received a lot of congratulatory text messages.
Not to mention anything else, there are quite a few on the company side alone.
In addition, there are investors I know, business allies, classmates in the Finance Management Class, and friends.
For some unimportant questions, I just gave a unified and mechanical reply.
After all, everyone is very busy tonight.
If you have a girlfriend or someone you have a good personal relationship with, chat more.
Nanako: "Dear, Happy New Year, I love you!"
The closer the people are, the less fancy the blessing text messages are. Ding Linna’s blessing text message is very simple.
The same is true for Song Yuwei.
"Boss, Happy New Year!"
Simpler than Nanako, but contains slightly more information.
Su Zelin thought to himself that it was no use sending it in English, as his brother was too far away to reach him.
"Yuwei, what are you doing?"
"Hate it, why are you asking this all of a sudden!"
"?"
The capable assistant: "Boss, the New Year is here. It's the last semester, so please continue to take care of me!"
When sending the message, Luo Xi felt quite emotional.
There are only a few months left, and I will finally be able to escape from its clutches and no longer have to be under its control. However, for some reason I feel a little reluctant to let go.
When sending the message, for some reason, the class beauty's face became a little hot as she recalled the night when she asked Su Zelin to help her persuade Pete to quit.
The hunzi was actually a little reluctant.
Several small assistants are quite useful.
But for a girl as capable as Axi, it’s good enough that she can be used for four years.
With the help of the class beauty in recent years, he really hasn't had to worry about class affairs, so he can focus on his own career.
To some extent, A Xi can be considered the woman behind me.
It's a pity that Ah Xi has lofty ambitions, otherwise I would have tried to persuade her to enter the New Century.
Xiao Liu: "Boss, Happy New Year! We are living in a new house this year. Thank you!"
Liu Wanyin has made some money in the New Century in recent years, and Su Zelin's suggestion that her father give up farming and engage in breeding has also come at a good time. Her life has improved greatly, and she has even demolished the old earthen house and rebuilt it into a new brick and stone house.
Although there were still a few small bungalows, the situation was completely different for the Liu family.
Therefore, Liu Wanyin's New Year's greetings contain deep gratitude and joy, and mean sharing happiness with Hunzi.
"Happy New Year!"
Another message came, and this is the simplest blessing so far.
Su Zelin was a little surprised.
It turned out to be sent by Yan Qiuwen.
This was also the first time Yan Qiuwen sent herself New Year greetings.
But then again, I started interacting with her more often after she started internship at New Century last semester.
Although we had kept in touch before, it was just a casual chat on QQ occasionally.
"Qiu Wen, Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true!"
Su Zelin typed a sentence, hesitated, deleted the last four words, and then sent it out.
Qiuwen’s wish must be to complete the research project as soon as possible. We can’t let her wish come true, otherwise she might leave.
Not only did he lose a helper in his career, but he also lost his chief tool in conquering Qin Shiqing!
It would be best if she studied this topic for a longer time.
Are there any external factors, or even force majeure, that could cause her project to be delayed
“Ding ding ding…”
Su Zelin was deep in thought when the new message notification sound rang again.
The owner of this message surprised Hunzi even more than Yan Qiuwen.
"Happy New Year, junior brother. Long time no see!"
Tao Min
Su Zelin was surprised.
It has been more than half a year since Tao Min graduated in June last year.
I didn't expect that I would suddenly receive a New Year's greeting on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Originally, Hunzi didn't want to disturb this senior student, but since she took the initiative to send him a message, it would be okay to chat with her for a few minutes.
"Senior, Happy New Year. Is your work going well after graduation?"
"I work in the state-owned enterprise where Shenghai interned before, and I live a nine-to-five life. It's okay, just so-so."
Although it was a stable job with leisurely work, Tao Min found that in a state-owned enterprise, it was really difficult for a female employee, especially a young female employee who had just graduated, to climb up. It was not just about ability; qualifications were very important. Without them, one could only rely on personnel.
She was a girl from northern Anhui, so how could she have any connections or background in Shenghai? No matter how capable she was or how hard she worked, it was useless. She could only hold on. However, even if she made it to retirement, she would probably only be able to become a section chief at best. She felt that she was just wasting her time and lacked passion.
We chatted for a while, mainly about work.
From Tao Min's tone, Hunzi could tell that she was not particularly satisfied with her current work situation.
"Senior, if you find a boyfriend from Shanghai in the company, maybe you will have a chance."
Su Zelin said half-jokingly.
"Come on, most of the local male employees in our company got in through connections. They don't have much ability, but they have a bad temper. Or they are just mama's boys. There are all kinds of people."
Tao Min couldn't help but complain to the gangster.
"Senior Tao, since state-owned enterprises are not good, why don't you consider coming to our company? I guarantee you will have many opportunities."
Su Zelin asked tentatively.
"Haha, yes. If I can't make it here anymore, I'll come to you. You have to take me in!"
"Don't worry, as long as you are interested, the door to the New Century will always be open to you!"
"… "
The two sides started chatting. Although they hadn't been in touch for half a year, they were still quite active, like old friends meeting again after a long separation.
However, they both tacitly agreed not to mention the farewell night.
We chatted like this for half the night before ending the QQ session.
…
In a blink of an eye, it is the fourth day of the New Year.
Willow Lane, Su family.
Not long after breakfast, an unexpected guest arrived.
"Uncle, aunt, Happy New Year, may you make fortune, Panpan wishes you all a happy new year!"
In previous years, my junior high school sister would often come to the Su family to pay New Year’s greetings on the fourth or fifth day of the New Year.
This is also the earliest day for friends to visit each other during the New Year.
People usually don't pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the year, but they are used to visiting relatives on the second day. The third day is both the Red Dog Day and the Minor New Year's Day, so people usually stay at home and don't visit others. Therefore, Huang Panpan prefers to choose the fourth or fifth day to visit relatives.
"Panpan, Happy New Year to you too!"
In the past few years, my junior schoolmate also came to pay New Year’s greetings, but this year her appearance made the two elders feel a little unnatural.
Her son and Qin Shiqing were together, and the empress dowager felt most sorry for this infatuated and even a little silly girl.
No matter what, Zhao Lixia and Su Jianjun still gave Huang Panpan good luck respectively.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt!"
Huang Panpan took the red envelope with her mouth still as sweet as ever.
She didn't notice anything unusual between the two of them. She was still immersed in the joy of the blessing text message that Su Zelin sent her after midnight on New Year's Day. She just thought that her relationship with Hunzi would make great progress soon.
"Is the senior upstairs? I'll go find him right away!"
Looking around, he didn't see Su Zelin, so he guessed that he was in the room and ran upstairs.
Zhao Lixia hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.
It was true that his son was in the room, but Qin Shiqing was also there.
"Jianjun, what should we do? If Panpan knew that Zelin and Shiqing were together one day, she would be very sad. Although I hope Shiqing will be our daughter-in-law, I don't want this girl to be sad."
The Queen Mother was a little worried.
"I can't do anything about it."
Lao Su shrugged, expressing his helplessness: "If she just left out of sadness, it would be fine. She would only be sad for a while at most. I'm afraid of other things."
"Anything else?"
Zhao Lixia was surprised: "You mean, Panpan would do something stupid?"
She now has some understanding of her junior.
On the surface, she looks like a cute and well-behaved girl, but in fact, she is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and a little stubborn. If she encounters a heavy blow in her relationship, it is possible that she will become depressed.
"It's hard to say. I don't think that's the case. I think she's more likely to not give up or keep waiting."
Su Jianjun hesitated for a moment and spoke cautiously.
"Then Panpan's youth will be wasted."
Zhao Lixia felt a little dizzy.
"I'm just guessing. Things may not be as bad as imagined. Maybe Panpan will meet the right boy one day."
"Well, I hope so. In fact, Panpan would be a good daughter-in-law for us, but Shiqing is more suitable."
"… "
