The happy life of a silly secretary

Chapter 60
It’s the Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival that Chinese people value most. In the past, Zhang Xiaoxue would go home to celebrate the New Year every year, but how will he spend this year?Zhang Xiaoxue was more worried.Go home or not?How do you tell your family about your marriage? BJ here, how to buy gifts for grandpa and in-laws, and what to buy?The first problem is her parents, she doesn't mind if they talk or scold as they please.The key is the second question, which is unpopular in itself, and cannot make the relationship worse.Asking Liu Zizheng what gift she should buy, Liu Zizheng said that she didn't need to worry about it, he had already asked Wang Chen to do it, Zhang Xiaoxue was so grateful that Liu Zizheng was massaged and back-beating, and served him comfortably.Letting go of a major matter on her mind, she thought about how to deal with the family, this is not good and then she will ask Liu Zizheng for advice.

Sure enough, my mother yelled on the phone.

"Bie Sun Nier, didn't you discuss this important matter with your family? Didn't you bring it back for us to take a look at first, just to check? What should you do if you are cheated? What if you are bullied by your in-laws? You just wait to suffer. People in their twenties, why are you so ignorant? I think your studies are wasted, money wasted, and you learned something, so you don’t take your parents seriously. Your parents can still hurt you. you?……"

Wang Xiuying's woman's voice was loud and full of confidence. Zhang Xiaoxue held the phone a foot away from her ears to prevent her ears from being hurt. After the voice was heard, she said into the microphone: "Well, I see, you are right, I won't go home for the Chinese New Year this year!"

"what?"

Zhang Xiaoxue immediately withdrew the phone from her ear.

"Why don't you go home? You have to go home when you get married. If you have a husband's family, you don't need your mother's family? You have to go back to the house formally, and they have to give a dowry. Why raise you so big? Do you want to never come back for the rest of your life? Don't let us see you? Let me tell you, don't think that you are far away now and I can't catch you. If you don't come back, I will go to find you after the new year. Why are you getting more and more shameless? ,..."

"Mom, I'm still finished. Why are you in such a hurry? I said that if you don't go home during the New Year, you won't go home on the first day of the new year, and you will go home on the third or fourth day."

"Are you together?"

"Not yet decided? That's it. I have something urgent to do. Let's hang up first."

Zhang Xiaoxue hung up the phone quickly, afraid that her mother would scold her again about whether they would go home together.Thinking about whether to go home together, she was also very embarrassed. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Liu Zizheng to go home with her. What kind of conditions were there in the house? It was dirty, cold, and poor. She worried that she would not be able to bear it.

When going to bed at night, Zhang Xiaoxue still decided to discuss it with Liu Zizheng first, and then arched into the man's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Husband, how are we celebrating the New Year this year?"

Liu Zizheng put down the book in his hand, stroked her waterfall-like hair, and said softly, "How do you want to live?"

"I have no experience. According to the customs of our hometown, we should celebrate the New Year at the in-law's house. The married daughter is not allowed to see the lights of her mother's house at thirty nights, otherwise it will be unlucky."

"Hehe, let's spend the first year with the old man, and we can control it freely in the future."

"Well, I'm thinking about whether to go back to my home."

"Come back, I haven't seen our parents yet."

To be honest, Zhang Xiaoxue was already content with hearing these words.

"I'm afraid you won't get used to it. You don't know how poor our area is. You won't believe me if I tell you." Zhang Xiaoxue began to list the evidence of their village's poverty. There are no roads, no heating, no bathrooms, and no indoor toilets...

"Are you sure you want to go?" Zhang Xiaoxue finally asked.

"Your man is not so delicate yet, we will only stay for two or three days, and it's time to come back to work."

"Well, apart from being poor, our place is also very dirty." Zhang Xiaoxue tried hard to search for the memory of the dirty hometown. The pots and tables are black, some people don't have the habit of brushing their teeth, people will spit everywhere, and there will be a company on the side of the road. With a dunghill...

"Don't you think it's scary?"

"Little girl, do you want to scare me so much that you dare not go? Your husband is resistant to cold, dry, wind and sand. Of course, he is also resistant to dirt. Do you have any other concerns?"

"Haha, that's a prickly pear, okay? It's also dirt-resistant. Let me try without taking a bath for a week?" Zhang Xiaoxue knew that he was a clean freak.

"One week is a bit much, but two days can be tolerated."

"Hee hee, I was thinking, what would happen to you if you were placed in the Gobi desert?"

"Didn't I just grow in the desert? Cactus has tenacious vitality."

"Cactus, Qiuqiu, that's a good name, hehe."

"What's your name, I'm such a powerful man, change it!"

"What do you want to change? Honey Zheng? Lao Zheng? Or Lao Liu? Haha..."

"I'm sorry, I saved my phone number as 'oldman' before. I haven't settled with you yet. Do you really think I'm old?" Liu Zizheng grabbed Zhang Xiaoxue and asked seriously.

"Don't dare, Lord Zheng please forgive me."

"late."

The man turned over and pressed the little woman under him, and kissed wildly. After the strong wind, seeing the woman gasping for breath, the man's gentle kiss slowly slid across the forehead and cheek.Liu Zizheng felt that his little woman was like a soft little white rabbit, pressing his heart in his arms, how could he be willing to deal with her?Touching the woman's face with his hands, he asked seriously: "Do you really think I'm old?"

Zhang Xiaoxue opened her eyes and looked at the man with a serious face, "Who said that? Look at this face, you can't squeeze out any creases."

Zhang Xiaoxue held the man's face with both hands and squeezed together.

In order to show that he is not old, the man is alive and well, and in order to prove that he does not dislike the old man, the woman takes the initiative to cater to him. The two wantonly express their deep love for each other in the most primitive way.

Zhang Xiaoxue squinted her eyes and lay quietly beside Liu Zizheng. This man had become the opium of her life, and she couldn't live without her for the rest of her life. She slowly fell asleep after thinking about it.

With the progress of urbanization, the neighbors have entered the era of strangers, and the concentration of the taste of the year is getting thinner and thinner.When I was young, eating was an important part of the Chinese New Year. At the end of the year, no matter how poor I was, I had to pay homage to my stomach that had been abused for a year. I slaughtered pigs, slaughtered sheep, steamed steamed buns, steamed buns, made dumplings, and stewed meat... I have been busy since I was a child. It's not over until New Year's Eve.But now eating every day is like Chinese New Year, and there is nothing special to prepare for Chinese New Year.I used to wear new clothes for the new year, and I prepared a set of clothes for the new year very early, and took them out to look at them at intervals, and waited to wear them when visiting relatives during the new year.Children wear new clothes and run around the yard happily. Adults also have to buy a suit for themselves. They can’t treat themselves badly during the Chinese New Year. At the same time, they can also show their relatives and friends that I have had a good year this year.If someone is still wearing tattered clothes during the New Year, I don’t know how many sympathetic eyes will fall on him, making you feel embarrassed to go out to pay New Year’s greetings.Now, you can buy new clothes every day, wear them in the mall and go home. Even if you wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year, you will not be as excited, and the fun and meaning of the Chinese New Year will be less.This year is getting worse and worse. It seems that the biggest benefit is that you can rest for 7 days without going to work, so that the migrants can go home to see their relatives and friends, which leads to the exaggerated Spring Festival travel tide every year.

For Zhang Xiaoxue, Chinese New Year means adding another year. There is no woman who is not afraid of old age. Although she is still at a flowery age, she can't stand the passing of the years. If she can save time, she will always maintain How wonderful is this most beautiful moment.But she also thought the same way, she had to face too much this year, and she was not allowed to lament the speed of time in front of the flowing water.From the thirties of the year, she lived in the Liu residence with Liu Zizheng, and Chen Ruoyu took care of everything up and down, so she just talked and played chess with the old man.Besides, she didn't intend to curry favor with those who didn't like her. Fortunately, Liu Zizheng was always by her side, so she didn't suffer any grievances.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Liu Zizheng said he would take her to a place, and Zhang Xiaoxue followed her into the car without asking any questions.

Until the cemetery, Zhang Xiaoxue still had doubts in her heart, what was he doing in the cemetery for the Chinese New Year?Babaoshan Public Fundraising in winter is quiet and solemn, and the occasional sound of firecrackers in the distance makes the cemetery even quieter. Although it is just afternoon, the sky is covered with cloudy clouds, and the whole cemetery is also shrouded in cold air.Zhang Xiaoxue roughly guessed who was coming to see, but no matter who it was, she had to buy a bouquet of flowers.Probably because of the [-]th year, there were no people at the gate of the public offering. Fortunately, the uncle who guarded the gate gave them a strange look and let them enter the cemetery.

"Zizheng, why don't we go buy some flowers first?" Zhang Xiaoxue took Liu Zizheng's arm and walked on the road surrounded by pines and cypresses, dripping with tombstones, and said what he had wanted to say for a long time.

"No, we don't care about these forms."

They passed through many tombstones, Liu Zizheng stopped in front of a tombstone, Zhang Xiaoxue took a closer look at the tombstone in front of it, the tomb was very clean, obviously someone often came to clean it.On the body of the tomb is written "The Tomb of the Loving Mother He Rui" in official script, on which is carved a black and white bust of a lady, a very young and beautiful face, with a bright smile, dignified and elegant.It was obvious that this handsome face of my man came from this woman.

"Mom, it's New Year's Eve this year, and it's a day for family reunion. I brought my wife to see you, and we kowtowed to you." Zhang Xiaoxue looked at Liu Zizheng with a more serious face than usual.

The winter ground was hard and cold, Zhang Xiaoxue knelt down with Liu Zizheng, feeling that his emotions were a little strange, there were too many emotions she was not familiar with.

"Mom, I promised to bring Xiaoxue to see you. I'm right. Look, your daughter-in-law is very beautiful, gentle and considerate. Meeting her is a blessing in my life. I know, you will definitely bless us , don't worry, we are very happy."

Zhang Xiaoxue listened to the man boasting about herself seriously in front of the tombstone, feeling weird in her heart, with a solemn expression, she cooperated and knelt down devoutly together.But I was curious about what kind of person this mother-in-law I met for the first time, and why she passed away so early?
Liu Zizheng stood up, pulled Xiaoxue up casually, and held her tightly in his arms. For a moment, Zhang Xiaoxue felt that he was sobbing, but a few minutes later, when the man let her go, she clearly saw is a smiling face.

"Do you want to say something?"

Say something?Facing the tombstone, talking to a mother-in-law who has passed away for many years and has never met?It's better not to say it.But looking at Liu Zizheng's expectant eyes, she felt that it was better not to disappoint him.

"Well..." Zhang Xiaoxue cleared her throat and continued, "Mom, I am Xiaoxue, your daughter-in-law, and I see you for the first time today, but I think you must be a kind mother. You have a Very excellent son, it is my life's blessing to meet Zizheng in this life, we will face the ups and downs of life together, don't worry, I will take good care of him."

Hugging each other tightly, the cold wind was blowing their hair, and the sky seemed to be gloomy. Zhang Xiaoxue's hands were already cold, and they didn't stay for long.

"Mom, we're leaving. I'll see you later." Liu Zizheng took one last look at the photo on the tombstone.

"Let's go."

The two of them half embraced and half embraced, Zhang Xiaoxue almost got into the man's arms, because it was too cold, she was used to the heating, and she really couldn't stand the cold after staying outside for a long time.
