Just after lunch on the first day of the new year, Li Zhichao drove a motorcycle to find Su Chunfeng, and went out to pay New Year's greetings...

Su Chunfeng had no choice but to step on Li Zhichao's motorcycle.He knew that he wanted to go to various villages to kowtow to the parents of his well-connected junior high school classmates-at the age of fifteen or sixteen, when he was immature but thought he was mature and grown up, everything had to be like a model. Put on airs decently, follow the rules and customs like a man, as if if you don't do this, you will appear ignorant and naive, if you do it, you will be an adult.

For example, if you go to kowtow to pay New Year's greetings now, you will definitely yell among a group of brothers when you come back: "Oh, how many houses have I been to today, and the Chinese New Year is so fucking tiring." But the expression is definitely a proud look, as if Now that he has grown up and has his own social circle.

Although Su Chunfeng was helpless about this phenomenon, he would not reject it.

No matter what kind of psychology this kind of behavior comes from, but the old saying goes, "return the gift when you see the gift." When other classmates come to your house to kowtow to your parents to pay New Year's greetings, if you don't go to the other party's house to kowtow to your parents, you are really ignorant.

Li Zhichao, in particular, is the most enthusiastic about it.

Of course, girls don't wander around to kowtow to pay New Year's greetings, this is a tradition.

Of course, boys will not foolishly go to girls' homes to kowtow to their parents to pay New Year's greetings. In that case, they will be served by the girl's parents with sticks.

Two and a half boys drove a motorcycle, wandering around several villages in the two townships to pay New Year's greetings.

By the time the New Year greetings were over, the sky had gradually darkened.

On the way back, I passed Linhe Village, and when I was driving on the muddy and potholed road that was about to leave the village, the motorcycle had to slow down and make hard turns in the potholes.At this time, I heard someone shouting on the tall and narrow curb beside the road: "Hey, Su Chunfeng, Li Zhichao...you stop here!"

The voice is as crisp as a yellow warbler, very pleasant to hear, but with an undeniably strong and commanding tone.

Su Chunfeng turned his head and saw Wang Rui, the Chinese class representative of his classmate, standing on the curb with his hips akimbo.She was wearing a windbreaker-style slim down jacket, black trousers and half-heeled black leather cotton shoes underneath, which made her tall and plump, just like those models in the New Year pictures, but she didn't paint her lips and eyebrows, but she looked more natural and real. Delicate and beautiful, there is also a glamorous beauty that resembles Chen Liping, the teacher of ice cubes.

This feeling was naturally due to Wang Rui's rather formal attire and the angry look on her pretty face at the moment.

Li Zhichao didn't bother to see who called the two of them. He drove the motorcycle out of the pothole with a focused expression, and finally found a quick way to pull over, then turned to look at Wang Rui, and waved: "Hi, Wang Rui." Rui, happy new year."

"Wang Rui, Happy Chinese New Year!" Su Chunfeng also said politely.

Wang Rui circled around from the high and clean curbs, stood in front of the two people who had already got off the car, looked at Su Chunfeng angrily with his hips akimbo, and said, "Su Chunfeng, why are you on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month? Didn't come to our house for the meeting? I invited you personally! Are you looking down on people?"

While speaking, she didn't even look at Li Zhichao.

Su Chunfeng was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I was going to go that day, but I happened to have something at home, so..."

"What happened at your house that day?"

"This, it's not convenient to tell you, is it?" Su Chunfeng said with a smile.

Wang Rui said angrily: "You just look down on people! Do you know that among all the people I invited to my house for the meeting, you are the only boy, and I didn't even invite the teachers in the school, but you didn't invite them at all. How embarrassing is it for me to be in front of my classmates without giving me any face?"

Su Chunfeng said in amazement: "Isn't it? Who dares to look down on you?"

"Hmph!" Wang Rui's eyes were flushed as she spoke, as if she would burst into tears the next moment.

Li Zhichao was stunned as he watched from the side—hey, this kid Su Chunfeng is really awesome, even Wang Rui, who has always been proud and arrogant, invited him to his house for a meeting... Wang Rui is a veritable school girl with excellent academic performance. It was Wang Tianming, Secretary of the Party Committee of Guanmiao Township, who had used the police car of the township police station to pick her up several times when she went to and from school. Even the principal, class teacher, and teachers cared for her all day long.Also, there are so many junior high school students who fall in love early, who has ever heard of a boy who has pursued Wang Rui, the school belle?Isn't it because they are all afraid of Wang Rui and feel ashamed in front of Wang Rui.

On weekdays, Wang Rui would inadvertently show a condescending attitude when talking to boys, but invited Su Chunfeng to her home for a meeting...

But Su Chunfeng didn't go!

Does this keep people alive?

Seeing Wang Rui's appearance, Su Chunfeng couldn't help apologizing repeatedly: "I'm really sorry, I did have something to do that day, sorry, sorry."

"How do I know if you lied to me?" Wang Rui said angrily.

"Hey, I repaired the car at home that day. If you don't believe me, ask Li Zhichao. He knows that our combine harvester is kept in his feed factory." Su Chunfeng pointed to Li Zhichao.

Wang Rui said angrily: "Don't lie to me, Li Zhichao came to our village for a meeting that day, I saw him before."

"He went to the meeting, and it doesn't affect me helping my father repair the car in their factory..." Su Chunfeng looked innocent.

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Zhichao hurriedly made a rescue, and lied to help Yuan: "That day Chunfeng and his father were indeed repairing cars in our factory. If you want to say that the parts of the combine harvester are really hard to buy, the manufacturer delayed it by three It took more than a month? It was only sent, tell me, if this is just in time for the busy farming season, it won’t delay the matter.”

Su Chunfeng nodded sharply and said, "Who said no, alas."

Wang Rui seemed a little convinced by what the two sang and said, so she snorted coquettishly and said, "Okay, I accept your apology, and you must not break your promise to me in the future!" After saying that, Wang Rui turned around and walked around Walk to a clean curb and walk to the distance.

Looking at the slim figure, Li Zhichao swallowed, and said, "Chunfeng, why didn't you go?"

"I don't want to go." Su Chunfeng stepped on the motorcycle and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark."

"You're awesome!" Li Zhichao gave a thumbs up, stepped on the motorcycle and pedaled hard a few times, boom, boom, the motorcycle started, and it drove Su Chunfeng towards Hetang Village.

Su Chunfeng sat in the back seat, feeling the cold wind blowing against his face, thinking of Wang Rui's attitude before, he couldn't help but smile bitterly——Wang Rui, who was influenced by his parents at a young age, could be regarded as a friend by her People who are friends must be capable and may be used by them in the future, otherwise they will be ignored.Thinking back to his previous life, Wang Rui, who was only 31 years old, became the powerful deputy mayor of Pingyang City. Not to mention the role of his father, but his strong ability and the deep scheming of the city government are enough to make people feel I'm afraid... In short, it's best to keep a distance from this kind of woman, otherwise, if she wants to use you, you will be useless, and she will step on you without hesitation. When she needs to sell you for profit, He will sell you decisively without even frowning.

……

For several days in a row, I followed the custom and went to relatives' homes to pay New Year's greetings.

On the sixth day of the new year, Su Chunfeng and his younger brother followed their parents to a relative's house in Pingyang City to pay New Year's greetings.

Speaking of which, this relative is not a distant relative, but the uncle of Chen Xiulan's natal family, that is, Su Chunfeng's third grandfather, Chen Xian.

Chen Xiulan's natal family was a well-known scholarly family in her early years, but when she was young, she caught up with the special period of the Republic, and her family's decline caused her not to be able to go to school to receive cultural education, and her family became an ordinary farmer. The old man and the old lady were also depressed because of this, and died early.

However, when Chen Xian was in a special period, he was tactful and resourceful, and it happened that he was stimulated by the current social situation in that special period, so he resolutely severed ties with his family and took the lead in attacking the family. As a result, he became a well-known leader of the rebel faction.In the middle and later period of those days, Chen Xian was even more keenly aware of something wrong, so he decisively chose to join the army!

Therefore, during the period of rehabilitating the wronged after the special period, Chen Xian was lucky and inevitably did not suffer any impact, but instead grew into an excellent officer in the army.

In [-], Chen Xian retired from the army and transferred to the County Public Security Bureau to serve as the deputy director. With his keen political acumen and smooth handling of people, in just over ten years, his official career seemed to be stable but continued to improve. A member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, a real powerful figure.

It stands to reason that there should be such a serious relative and elder, the elder brother of Su Cheng's family and Chen Xiulan's natal family, Chen Shunhe, shouldn't be in such a situation.

At least get a job as a regular worker, right?

Isn't it a hundred times better than farming at home?

The problem is that Chen Xian is old and serious, and he never uses power for personal gain. Don't his own brother and two nephews still farm at home now?

However, Su Chunfeng knew that in fact, the relatives of his mother's natal family still harbored resentment towards Chen Xian, the elder—the most promising person in the old Chen family back then, but he did not hesitate to fight with his family for his own future. Sever the relationship, and take the lead in attacking the family and persecuting the family with denial.

However, Chen Xian later became a military officer, and after changing his job, he became a high-ranking government official, and he also went home to visit relatives in person.Therefore, no one from the old Chen family would mention those old things anymore.

Who wouldn't want to count on this senior official to take care of them?

Unfortunately, Chen Xian didn't help any of them!

It is also because of the old hatred and the current grievances that the two parties have no normal relatives walking around on weekdays. Only during the big festival of the New Year, the younger family members will go to the city to pay New Year's greetings to Chen Xian.What is certain is that Old Chen's family, including Su Cheng, are still proud of having such a relative.Moreover, some of these people inevitably still have a hint of hope that they will be taken care of in the future.

It's not all about snobbery, and it's not about trying to curry favor...

It's human nature.

At least, Su Chunfeng knew very well that his father, Su Chengcheng, never thought of asking the old man to help him arrange a job, so that he could earn a living by farming at home—you know, when Su Cheng joined the army, he was on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. For those who have made military exploits and been injured, if he finds Chen Xian after retiring from the army, Chen Xian is willing to help. With his qualifications of having been on the battlefield, injured and made military exploits, he can easily be assigned to a government department go to work.
