Chapter 47 Going home for the New Year
New Year's Day is the Gregorian calendar year.

The Spring Festival is the lunar new year.

On the weekend before the Spring Festival, He Yuzhu asked Qiu Ziheng to organize a company annual meeting.

At the annual meeting, He Yuzhu gave red envelopes to all employees again, which won praise from the employees.

Shao Anna took a week off to accompany her mother on a trip to relax, and did not attend the annual meeting.

If you count, she started working as He Yuzhu's secretary in August, and started working as an improper secretary in November.

All in all, the two had sex about a dozen times.

But all in all, Shao Anna received nearly 300,000 yuan in red envelopes from He Yuzhu, as well as various valuable perfumes and bags.

It can be said that He Yuzhu was quite generous to Shao Anna.

So, Shao Anna is also very grateful to the man.

The day before the holiday, Shao Anna hid a black silk suspender in her bag.

This is because men often touch her slender neck and say that her collarbone is very delicate and she must look beautiful in a suspender skirt.

The holiday is coming soon, and Shao Anna wants to give the man a surprise.

He Yuzhu was indeed very surprised and his work for the whole morning was delayed.

It was almost noon, and He Yuzhu knew that if he didn't let this little devil Shao Anna leave work early, he wouldn't be able to concentrate on work today.

So, after the two of them had lunch, He Yuzhu let Shao Anna leave work early.

The company held its annual meeting after Shao Anna went on vacation.

After the annual meeting, He Yuzhu attended two annual group gatherings organized by wealthy people.

As the end of December was approaching, Lou Xiao'e started calling to urge her to go home for the New Year.

He Yuzhu then brought Chen Jiazhen back.

During the Chinese New Year, He Yuzhu didn't want to leave his woman alone in Hong Kong.

So, this time when he came back, He Yuzhu insisted on bringing Chen Jiazhen back.

After returning to Beijing, Chen Jiazhen was arranged to live in the original side-by-side courtyard.

He Yuzhu asked someone to go to Xujiachuan to deliver a letter to Fengxia, hoping that Fengxia could come and spend the New Year with Jiazhen.

Although Xujiachuan is not far from Sijiu City, it is not close either.

Fengxia wanted to find a reason to come to Sijiucheng, and she had to find a good reason.

It was a coincidence that Kugen was sick again, although it was just a cough.

Fengxia, however, took the excuse of taking her son to see a doctor and brought her child to Sijiu City.

Zhang Erxi naturally accompanied him. When they arrived at the courtyard, he saw He Yuzhu pulling out dead grass roots in the yard and honestly called him "Little Dad".

"Erxi, Fengxia is here, you two should spend the New Year with your mother."

He Yuzhu pointed inside the house and asked the two to go in.

It’s cold in Beijing and the child is coughing, so it’s better for him to stay indoors.

As Zhang Erxi entered the room holding his son Kugen, he was immediately stunned.

"mom?"

Fengxia was also a little dumbfounded. Was she sure the beautiful woman in front of her was her biological mother?

When she left during the Spring Festival last year, more than half of Chen Jiazhen's hair had turned gray, her forehead and eyes were covered with wrinkles, her skin was sagging, and she looked lifeless, as if she was half buried in the ground.

Now, a year has passed, and Chen Jiazhen seems to have been reborn, 20 or 30 years younger, and has returned to her youth.

Not only is her hair black and beautiful, but her skin is also smooth and white, like that of a young woman.

Not to mention that Zhang Erxi didn't dare to believe it, even Fengxia, his own daughter, didn't dare to believe it.

He Yuzhu opened the door curtain and saw two people standing at the door. He couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you go in?"

Fengxia came back to her senses, still a little bit unbelieving, and could only ask in a low voice: "Little Dad, is this my mother?"

"I'm not your mother, so whose mother am I? You kid, you don't even recognize your own mother."

Chen Jiazhen had long been amused by her daughter and son-in-law's reactions. She knew that she had changed a lot, but it was too exaggerated that her daughter and son-in-law didn't even recognize her.

Fengxia smiled awkwardly, walked over and touched her mother's face with her hand, it was really smooth.

However, after touching it with her own hands, Fengxia still felt that her mother's skin looked tender and moist, but not as elastic as her own skin.

"Stop touching it blindly."

Chen Jiazhen felt a little proud when her daughter touched her a few times, but when she saw He Yuzhu's smirk, her face immediately turned red and she slapped her daughter's calloused hand.

After Fengxia married Zhang Erxi, her husband was still working in a construction team in the city.

Fengxia usually takes care of the housework alone, and also has to work in the fields to work on the crops. Her skin is a little dark and yellow, and there are calluses on her hands.

It is still winter now, and some of my fingers have even developed blood-red cracks from frostbite.

Chen Jiazhen looked at her daughter's rough hands, feeling a little uncomfortable. She turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, don't you have something else to do? Go and get busy. Fengxia is here too, so don't come over these few days."

"Okay, then I'll try not to come over these few days."

He Yuzhu responded and said goodbye to Fengxia and Zhang Erxi.

When He Yuzhu went out, she put on some simple makeup.

He rode his bicycle a few kilometers away, then put away the bicycle and released the car.

After all the trouble, He Yuzhu drove his car back to his home.

New Year is coming in two days. After the four sons have the holiday, they finish their homework every day and then go out for a stroll.

When He Yuzhu returned home, Lou Xiaoe scolded him.

"Zhu Zi, why did you come back just now? Director Yang has been waiting for you for a while."

"Director Yang? I have an appointment with him this afternoon."

He Yuzhu looked at his watch. It was eleven five.

It's not even noon yet.

"Zhu Zi, you are a very busy man now. It's almost the New Year, why are you still having a party?"

Director Yang is also an old friend, and when he saw He Yuzhu, he started to tease him.

"You are the same. If you don't take a good rest during the few days you are still in the steel mill, you will be exhausted when you join the Ministry of Industry next year."

He Yuzhu chatted for a few words and then asked Lou Xiaoe to call the nearby Xinqiao Restaurant to order takeout.

Director Yang quickly stopped him and said, "Zhu Zi, don't spend money. I came here to reminisce and admire your craftsmanship."

"Hey, brother, you are here to be the boss, okay, I will serve you again."

He Yuzhu hasn't cooked for others for a long time.

Director Yang was not an outsider, so He Yuzhu just ignored him and got up to go to the kitchen.

Director Yang did not take any advantage, but followed behind and went to the kitchen to help.

While He Yuzhu was cooking for the guests, Lou Xiao'e took her four sons to the Lou family for a meal.

He Yuzhu didn't stop him.

Director Yang came here this time because he had something to discuss.

After three rounds of drinks, Director Yang finally spoke up: "My job is settled. I will report to the ministry after the Lantern Festival."

He Yuzhu had known for a long time that Director Yang was going to be transferred, so he was not surprised at this time. He just asked curiously, "What position?" "It's what you said before, the head of the Second Equipment Department."

He Yuzhu hurriedly congratulated him, "Congratulations, brother, for your continued advancement and continued success. I hope you will strive to make further progress soon."

"Thank you. Cheers."

The two men drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp. Director Yang, oh, Director Yang, took a bite of food, suppressed the alcohol, and said to He Yuzhu with a serious expression: "Zhuzi, I established this Second Equipment Department because of you, so in the future, I will need your support for my work."

"Brother, you are joking." He Yuzhu also took a bite of the food, his expression was equally serious, and his voice was low and deep: "Brother, you got your position through hard work. My little contribution is just icing on the cake. Brother, don't say anything nonsense in the future."

Director Yang smiled gratefully: "Cheers."

The two had another drink.

He Yuzhu refilled the wine for the two and said, "When it comes to work, we are all like one brick. We will move wherever we are needed. So if you want to support the work, you can't say it anymore. This is not forming cliques..."

"It's my brother who is not strict."

Director Yang was scolded by He Yuzhu twice and his face turned red, but fortunately he had been drinking and He Yuzhu couldn't see it.

The two of them chatted wordlessly.

Director Yang was mainly worried that after arriving at the new position, he didn't know how to make progress.

A flower-growing farm with a lot of work to do and an empty office.

How to carry out the work?
He Yuzhu could only give him one suggestion, which was to report his work to the senior leaders more often.

After hearing this, Director Yang could only sigh, but there was nothing he could do.

The big leader is already over sixty years old and will retire after serving one more term at most.

Although Director Yang is a new official, he is already over 50 years old and can only work for another ten years.

Ten years may sound like a very long time, but in reality it feels like it will be over in the blink of an eye.

When the wine was in high spirits, Director Yang suddenly said, "Zhu Zi, do you know where that bastard surnamed Li went?"

"Your surname is Li?"

He Yuzhu paused for a moment, then realized that it was Deputy Director Li, Director Li.

"Where did he go?"

"I heard that he also went to Hong Kong."

Director Yang had been harboring anger for ten years, and now it burst out: "This bastard has ruined the steel mill for more than ten years, framed so many people, and plundered countless national wealth. Now he has escaped unscathed. If you meet him in Hong Kong, you must not let him go."

"Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of it."

He Yuzhu didn't expect that after having a drink, he would get a job.

In the TV series, Mr. Li suddenly became a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong, and he was accompanied by a charming female secretary named You Fengxia.

But that was ten years later.

"Then I'll leave it to you, brother."

Director Yang's most energetic ten years of his life were ruined by the man named Li.

In front of outsiders, Director Yang can remain calm and seem unperturbed by fame or disgrace.

But in front of He Yuzhu, after Director Yang drank, he could no longer control his inner anger.

As the saying goes, repay evil with good, how to repay good? Repay evil with justice, repay good with good.

"Brother, I will do this, but I need you to give me a photo of Mr. Li, otherwise it will be difficult for me to ask someone to find him."

"no problem."

Director Yang and He Yuzhu had a drink and got drunk.

Lou Xiao'e came back with the children and saw that the two had stopped drinking, but were still sitting on the sofa talking, and their conversation was irrelevant.

I called the Lou family and asked Lou Zhendong's driver to come and take Director Yang home.

He Yuzhu was sent to the bedroom by Lou Xiaoe to rest.

Sleep until dusk.

He Yuzhu got up and drank the hangover soup, patted his forehead, and said to Lou Xiaoe with a wry smile: "Lao Yang came here today to ask me to go meet the old leader together, but I was delayed by drinking."

"Humph, drinking makes things difficult, this isn't the first time."

Lou Xiao'e groaned, turned around and lectured her four sons, telling them not to follow their own father's example.

The four sons chuckled and were reluctant to agree to this.

How can a man not drink when he is working outside?

If you want to avoid drinking, you either have to be in a high enough position or in a low enough position.

Because of the high position, others dare not urge you to drink.

Since your position is low, no one will bother to persuade you to drink.

He Yuzhu's four children are destined to be unable to escape the test of drinking in the future.

In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve.

He Yuzhu and his family came to the Lou family to celebrate the New Year together.

Logically speaking, if He Yuzhu was not a son-in-law, he should not have come here on this day.

However, Guardian Zheng, the maid Chen Ma, and the chef Master Liu all took their families back to their own homes to celebrate the New Year.

He Yuzhu was also worried that no one would take care of the old couple, so he simply ignored the rules and spent the New Year with Lou Zhendong and his wife.

A group of people were making dumplings while watching TV.

Lou Zhendong took out a penny and stuffed it into the dumpling.

By the time it was time for dinner, He Xiao, who had the biggest appetite, almost didn't swallow a penny.

"It's the eldest brother who has the best luck again."

He Yong was a little envious. He also ate two bowls of dumplings, but in the end he was still not as good as his elder brother.

"Don't envy your elder brother. You have to remember that life is like playing poker. No matter whether we have good cards or bad cards, we have to play seriously after we get them. We can be a winner with bad cards, and we can lose everything with good cards."

He Yuzhu took the opportunity to give him a lecture.

The four sons all seemed to be thinking about something...bullshit.

Although the four children of the He family are smart, they are more noisy than each other.

On weekdays, He Yuzhu and Lou Zhendong are busy with work, and it is Lou Tan and Lou Xiao'e who educate them.

Both women loved their children and were reluctant to beat or scold them.

The reason these four sons did not break up the family was because of He Yuzhu's strict discipline when they were young.

Of course, these words seem to negate the contributions of Lou Tan and Lou Xiao'e.

These two women are actually kind-hearted and are excellent role models for their children.

All I can say is that boys are naturally restless.

Without a man to look after them, the four children were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, running wild and having fun.

He Yuzhu is already thinking about whether he should adjust his work next year and adjust the time split between the two places to be one-to-one.

Just as the house was in a commotion, the clock struck midnight.

The new year has finally arrived.
