Paper rose

Chapter 80
"Xiaoyan, happy new year!" Kang Jian bowed his head and kissed her lips.

"Happy New Year, Kang Jian!" Bai Yan responded to his kiss.

Kang Jian smiled and pinched her nose, "From now on, won't you lead me any more?" He secretly rejoiced in his heart because of Bai Yan's changed address.Hearing her call "Leader" is intimate, but it feels like a layer of separation.Calling "Kang Jian" together by first and last name, just like other couples, this is commonplace.

He changed his posture, buried his face in her neck, and breathed warmly on her skin.

"I have read a survey that says that a family with a husband who is afraid of guilt can be happy and lasting. So I decided that from now on, I will be the leader at home." She raised her head playfully, her lips moved up along his neck, and pressed against his neck. to his ear.

This is not a love story, but a joke.Kang Jian was a little excited because of the words "husband, family, and eternal happiness" that appeared in it.

"What is the first instruction given by the leader in the New Year?"

"Call your parents to say goodbye to the new year." Bai Yan handed him the mobile phone on the bedside table.Kang Jian stayed with him to celebrate the New Year. She didn't know whether Kang Yunlin and his wife had returned to the provincial capital or went to their hometown in Beijing.

Kang Jian looked at Bai Yan and smiled, and really dialed the phone.

"Father, Mom, Happy New Year! Bai Yan and I wish you both good health, good luck and harmony in the new year."

Bai Yan frowned, still a leader, wishing a new year is so vulgar, and what he said was all clichés.

"Okay, after the work is settled, I'll go back to the provincial capital to see you." Kang Jian closed the phone, "Shall we call your mother too?"

Bai Yan turned her face away and lowered her eyes, "She wants to take a beauty sleep, don't disturb her. I sent her a text message yesterday."

"Okay then!" Kang Jian picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, the sound of firecrackers outside gradually weakened, and there was a moment of tranquility between heaven and earth.

The bedside lamp was turned off, the two of them lay back on the pillow, Bai Yan adjusted himself to the most comfortable position in his arms, and closed his eyes.

In fact, she is not suspicious.Kang Jian didn't hand her the phone and asked her to wish her a new year, so she guessed that Kang Yunlin and his wife still couldn't accept her.But she has no time to take care of these, forgive her selfishness!

"Kang Jian, tomorrow, oh, it's today, I'm going to sleep until I wake up naturally." She mumbled, hugged Kang Jian tightly, and didn't move again.

After a while, Kang Jian heard her sleeping breathing, kissed her heart lovingly, kept up with her rhythm, and felt a little drowsy.

Kang Yunlin and Li Xinxia left Binjiang on the morning of New Year's Eve.The two were very excited because of Kang Jian's escape from danger this time, and they clamored to go back to the provincial capital to spend a good New Year, have a big feast for relatives and friends, and then the family of three went to Beijing to see their grandmother on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

The Binjiang Municipal Government arranged a business car for Kang Yunlin and his wife, and Lu Difei took the car back to the provincial capital together.

When Kang Jian was helping his parents to check out, he heard from the lobby manager that Bai Yan had settled the room fee, he didn't say much, just smiled.

"Jianjian," Li Xinxia was sour when she heard Kang Jian said in the room that she would stay in Binjiang for the New Year, "Are you really not going to spend the New Year with your parents?"

Pushing the wheelchair, Kang Jian nodded apologetically, "Mom, I won't accompany you this year. Every year from now on, I will go home early to accompany you."

Li Xinxia's eyes were red, and she complained unwillingly: "Don't lie to me, in your heart, she is more important than your mother."

She is Bai Yan.Li Xinxia still didn't want to mention her name, but her tone was not as hostile as before.Kang Jian explained the ins and outs of the matter to her and Kang Yunlin in detail.The couple sat opposite each other and didn't speak for a long time, feeling everything in their hearts.

"Mom," Kang Jian leaned down and looked at Li Xinxia, ​​"it's not because of what she did for me. I want to repay her kindness. I think about myself. After the new year, I'm 31 years old, and I can't miss it anymore." A woman I really like. To be honest, I don't have enough confidence. I want to guard her. Someone has discovered her goodness. I'm really afraid that she will be snatched away by others. Mom, you really love your son, just think about him. "

"How good she can be, at worst, we will make up for her materially in the future." Li Xinxia glared at Kang Jian.

"How good she is, my mother knows best after getting along with her." Kang Jian smiled without arguing.He understood Li Xinxia's arrogant personality, even if she accepted Bai Yan in her heart, she would never compromise in her actions.Everything needs a process.

"Xinxia, ​​let's go!" Kang Yunlin stood by the car and shouted back.

Kang Yunlin didn't have much reaction to Kang Jian staying for the New Year, he just patted Kang Jian on the shoulder and said, they are different.

Kang Jian smiled, "Yes, it's not the same at all."

Sitting in the car, Lu Difei looked at Kang Jian with a gloomy expression.

"Boom!" Another firework exploded outside the window, illuminating the bedroom through the curtains.

In the bright light, Kang Jian saw the sleeping Bai Yan click his lips, let go of him, turned over, and curled up habitually.Kang Jian hugged her tightly from behind, making the two of them stick tightly together.

On the first day of the new year, the two stayed in bed until after nine o'clock.After washing up, Bai Yan made two bowls of glutinous rice balls according to Binjiang's custom.Kang Jian couldn't eat the sweet glutinous glutinous glutinous rice ball stuffing, but he had to eat it because of the festive Chinese New Year. He swallowed it with difficulty, which made Bai Yan cover his mouth and burst out laughing.

On this day, the two of them are like two lazy pigs, sitting around the TV, either eating or sleeping.

Kang Jian felt that the lost Sai Weng was really an unprecedented great philosopher.This shuanggui not only allowed him to see Bai Yan's heart clearly, but also opened a door for his parents to accept Bai Yan. At the same time, he had a veritable seven-day long vacation.

The Communist Party is a party that implements formalism very thoroughly.

Regardless of whether he is Kang Shizhu or the mayor of Kang, during the Spring Festival, he must travel between various departments, enterprises, and rural areas to pay New Year's greetings every day, and he will not be able to spend time with his family at all.It's all good now, wearing fluffy slippers on his feet, chewing his wife's fried smoked fish in his mouth, sitting lazily on the sofa, holding his wife in his arms, and being able to do whatever he wants at any time.

The honeymoon was nothing more than that.

The next day, the sun was rare.Kang Jian urged Bai Yan to get up, saying that he wanted to go out for a stroll.

Bai Yan was the happiest shopping, but when she went out, she told Leader Kang very seriously that now we are a little poor and do not belong to the middle class, so we can't spend as much as before.Clothes, you can try on as much as you want, that's all.

Kang Jian nodded gently, "Okay, my wife's words are the truth, and I just obey."

Now people's awareness of Chinese New Year is not as strong as before. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, most supermarkets and shops on the street are open.There are the most people in the playground, and the business selling balloons and candied haws is the best.

The two held hands and walked casually. Bai Yan stopped suddenly in front of an ice cream shop.

"Kang Jian, we can have a luxury once in a while." She said.

Kang Jian turned his head to look at the couples coming and going in and out of the ice cream shop, and then looked at the buckets of colorful ice cream in the cupboard, and frowned, "You don't want to eat ice cream, do you?"

Bai Yan curled the corners of his mouth, and his two lovely dimples flashed, "Kang Jian, we have a good understanding."

"No, you have a bad stomach. It's winter and your stomach will be frostbitten." Kang Jian refused.

"That's why I have a little extravagance once in a while. After the new year, it's spring."

"The temperature is still winter."

Bai Yan pouted and held up a finger, "Kang Jian, just once during Chinese New Year today, I want to eat, okay?"

Kang Jian closed his eyes, "Really just once?"

Bai Yan nodded vigorously.

Leader Kang had no choice but to compromise and took out his wallet and walked over.

"I want the vanilla one, the one with two balls." Bai Yan shouted from behind.

Leader Kang turned his head and stared fiercely. When he turned around, he said to the clerk, "Can this ice cream be heated?"

The clerk opened his mouth halfway and blinked his eyes.Did she get it wrong?Is ice cream called ice cream with heat?That should be called milk tea?
"It's delicious!" Bai Yan licked the ice cream with a smile, his eyes narrowed with joy.Kang Jian really had no face and stood side by side with a little girl with ice cream in her hand. Seeing the second-hand car market in front of her, she said, "I'll go in and have a look. Come and find me after you finish eating."

Bai Yan looked like there were a lot of people inside, for the New Year's Eve, everyone crowded together to sell second-hand goods!

"Okay!" She was afraid that the ice cream might get on someone's new clothes, so she stood obediently on the street corner and ate it.

There are many rich people in Binjiang, and after driving for a year or two, they have to change their cars.The second-hand car market has always been very active, otherwise it would not have opened on the second day of the Lunar New Year.Some young people and housewives who have just learned how to drive are afraid of unfamiliar skills and dare not drive a good car. They usually like to find a second-hand car they like here to drive.

Kang Jian looked at a few parking spaces and found that the cars are probably new. If you pay attention to maintenance, you can drive them for several years!He took a few steps and looked back, fearing that the white geese would come in and not find him.Looking casually, a familiar red sports car suddenly jumped into his eyes.

At the same time, he also saw a shocked face.

In this market, Kang Jian met Yi Tongtong by chance in front of the red sports car. Don't think too much, he also knew why she didn't go home for the New Year, but where she appeared.

Yi Tongtong instinctively looked away, a little panicked, trying to find a place to hide.However, here is a big platform, except for people and cars, there is no place to cover it.

She had no choice but to raise her head, her muscles tensed and her expression indifferent.

She heard that Kang Jian was fine, but because of this, she couldn't gain a foothold in school.Before the winter vacation, the principal told her that she is a high-achieving student in the art academy, and she is too condescending to teach art here. Young people must have ambitions. Art is no different from other courses. There is a continuation of the semester. She can leave at any time. The school does not She will be required to pay liquidated damages.

She is not stupid, of course she can hear what the principal is saying.She is not a high-achieving student, but the school cannot tolerate having a "mistress" who is taken care of by a high-ranking official as a teacher.

Being taken care of by a high-ranking official... It was the first time Yi Tongtong was in the toilet, and when she heard her colleagues talk about her like this, she almost couldn't breathe.

Li Zehao regards her like a plague, and has completely divorced her. Now he is the one being sympathized with, not Chen Shimei anymore.During the teacher gathering before the winter vacation, she heard him excitedly tell other teachers that next year, he would decorate the apartment and get married.

At the end of the year, the uncle who opened the bedding shop found Yi Tongtong.Without Huaxing's care in the store, the business plummeted, and the income did not cover the rent. He was going to close the store and go back to his hometown.

Yi Tongtong felt that he had no choice but to leave.

When Kang Jian saw him selling the car, Yi Tongtong felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time he also had a lot of resentment.If it wasn't for this man, how could she have come to Binjiang?
Forget the past! !

Kang Jian looked at her calmly, and blinked aloofly.

"I have endured so much for you. These should be my personal property, and I have the right to dispose of them." Seeing that he did not speak, Yi Tongtong declared impatiently.

Kang Jian smiled faintly, then turned his head, and Bai Yan was looking around not far away.

"Happy Chinese New Year! My wife is looking for me!" He waved his hand, walked out through the crowd.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, where are you hiding?" Bai Yan asked Kang Jian, holding his arm coquettishly.

"Just looked at it casually, it's boring, let's go!"

"I thought you were going to give me a car?" Bai Yan winked playfully.

There was a hint of dark red on Kang Jian's face, "Poor people can't afford a car! I'll take you to a beautiful place."

"where?"

"You'll know when you arrive."

The figures of the two people went away, Yi Tongtong looked at them steadily, without blinking, and then sighed.

From the first time she saw Bai Yan in the hotel, until now, she understood that only Bai Yan was the most suitable woman for Kang Jian.If it were her, she would not be able to bear this man whom she could not see through.

Before, she was so stupid.

"Isn't this the old city?"

Bai Yan stood among the newly built tall buildings, looking at Kang Jian in wonder.Speaking of it, the construction speed is really fast. Once when I accompanied Leng Feng to inspect the house, Lu Yukang was the leader. At that time, the civil construction had just started, and after a few months, many buildings were capped.

On the construction site, except for a few workers who stayed behind to guard the supplies with a small face, at first glance, there was no other figure to be found.

Who is Leader Kang offering condolences to?

Kang Jian took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became far-reaching, "I have been working in Binjiang for several years, and I have done a lot of things, but only the old city renovation project makes me feel proud. I remember that in order to get this project approved, I went to Beijing, Traveling to the provincial capital, time and time again, the preparation materials piled up like a mountain. After the project was approved, I went everywhere to fight for funds, went to the bank to approve a loan, and drank with others until my stomach bleeds, and I was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment in the middle of the night .But when the construction actually started, the demolition work was difficult. Due to the negligence of the demolition personnel, several hundred-year-old trees were destroyed, and people were killed. It is a child who is pregnant in October, and I finally saw its face. I think that in one or two years, it will become a very magnificent scenery in Binjiang!
His tone was not as excited as what he said, but a little regretful and regretful. Bai Yan looked at him, "Why are you so emotional? Can't you see it in the future?"

Kang Jian smiled slightly, turned his gaze away from the distance, and moved to Bai Yan, "Xiao Yan, I might miss the process of its growth."

"What are you doing?" Bai Yan was stunned.

Kang Jian took her hand, and the two of them walked slowly among the tall buildings, "When I was alone in Yuzhou, I asked myself, why did I make such a shameful mistake? The answer is that my official career went so smoothly. An ordinary person with the same education and the same age as me, if he wants to sit in my current position, he will have to struggle for at least ten or 20 years, and he needs someone to take care of him. Without hard work, how can he cherish everything he has in his hands? Therefore, I Think, ask to go to the grassroots to exercise! Xiaoyan, I want to be a husband worthy of your love, a husband you respect and be proud of, not because I am someone’s son, not because of what I am now.”

Bai Yan was startled by his words, didn't know what to say for a while, but just held his hand tighter.

Kang Jian pursed his lips and smiled, "We may have a little parting, but I will still return to Binjiang in the future. Can you bear me not being by your side?"

"I said no, will you change your mind?" Bai Yan asked.

Kang Jian shook his head.

Bai Yan hugged his waist, "Forget it, if you think about it, then go. I didn't know you until a few years later." There was a slight melancholy in her tone.

Kang Jian lifted her chin, his eyes were burning, "Actually, don't bear it too much. I can come back for two days in a week."

"Eh? The grassroots?"

"As soon as I go to work, I think there may be new arrangements for my work. I will make a report and ask to go to Yun County to take a job."

"Yun County? Why is it Yun County?" Bai Yan was surprised.

He looked down at her and said with a smile, "Yun County is your hometown. I want to visit the place where you grew up."

Bai Yan's eyes turned red, and she muttered in a low voice, "I don't have a home there anymore." Since she started working, in what year has she been home?
"I'm there, you will have a home." Kang Jian reluctantly hugged her even tighter to his chest.

He knew that Bai Yan missed Yun County very much, because of Shang Mingming, Bai Yan had many beautiful memories there.But Bai Yan can't go back now!
After he went to work in Yun County, Bai Yan could visit him, and he would take her there to relive the old memories.Moreover, he still has a wish, hoping to find Bai Yan's biological father.Bai Yan didn't mention it, but he knew that Bai Yan felt uncomfortable facing his father's bad luck.

Bai Yan lost a lot when she was a child, and he wanted to help her find everything she lost bit by bit, so that when Bai Yan heard others talking about her parents, she would no longer be envious and say: "I'm so happy!"

"Do you want me to transfer my work back to Yunxian too?" Bai Yan fell into his arms lovingly.

"No." Kang Jian gently shook his head, "Stay in Binjiang and work hard to build a nest!"

"Building a nest?" Bai Yan didn't understand.

"Have you noticed that the walls of the rented place are actually not sound-proof. When I hug you at night, I have to suppress the sound. I'm afraid I won't be able to control my new marriage in the future. It's a pity to let people listen to it for nothing. Ah! Xiaoyan, we should have a home of our own." He smiled and rubbed his nose against her smooth forehead.
