Chapter 366: Driving a car to visit Commander Qing’s house for New Year’s greetings
He whispered, "My daughter, your father and I are where we are today because of you."
Liu Junhui took the red envelope with a smile and said, "Thank you, elders!"
Finally, Bai Fenglian glanced at Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen standing at the back and asked her daughter, "Who are they?"
Liu Junhui said, "They are new here and are my bodyguards. The group hasn't arranged accommodation for them yet, so they'll be staying at home for the next few days and celebrating the New Year together."
"what?"
Bai Fenglian let out a soft sigh and thought to herself, my daughter's bodyguard is so young, he's basically a big kid.
However, she also understood that there must be a reason why her daughter chose them as bodyguards.
Bai Fenglian took out two ten-yuan bills from her pocket and handed them to Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen with both hands.
"Welcome to celebrate the New Year here. Come, take it, and Happy New Year!"
Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen were embarrassed to take the money.
Liu Junhui said to Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen, "This is the old man's blessing, take it!"
Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen then accepted the red envelopes, bowed together, and said in unison: "Thank you, Grandma! I wish you a long life!"
This year, with the addition of Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen, the New Year’s Eve dinner is even more lively.
The round table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and the aroma filled the whole house.
Zhou Huaying smiled as she served dumplings to everyone, saying, "These dumplings must be eaten while they are hot, as they symbolize reunion and happiness."
Bai Fenglian nodded hurriedly, and while putting food into Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen's bowls, she said, "You two should just treat each other like family. Don't be polite."
Liu Changsheng picked up his wine glass and said to everyone, "Today is such a festive day, we should all have a few more drinks."
Everyone responded, raising their glasses. Some drank, some drank, and the whole room burst into laughter.
Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen were a little reserved at first, but seeing the family's enthusiasm, they quickly immersed themselves in the happy atmosphere.
At the right time, Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen stood up together and toasted the chairman's family, wishing the whole family happiness.
Zhou Yuzhen smiled sweetly and said, "Celebrating the New Year at the chairman's house is the best New Year I've ever had."
This New Year's Eve dinner will leave Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen with unforgettable memories.
Occasionally, firecrackers could be heard outside the window, and the lights inside the house illuminated faces filled with happiness.
……
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, as usual, I went to Commander Qing's house to pay New Year's greetings
Li Yonggang had contacted Zhu Xinfa in advance, and the two families went to Commander Qing's house together.
Li Yonggang wanted to ask driver Xiao Zhao to drive the truck over, but Liu Junhui said, "I'll drive the sedan. Commander Qing hasn't seen this sedan yet."
Commander Qing got this car through his old comrade, so he should be allowed to take a look at it.
However, there were five passengers in Liu Junhui's car, and including Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen, there were six people in total.
Li Yonggang was about to take Zhu Xinfa's bus, but Liu Junhui felt it was not a good idea and said, "Well, I'll just hold Junlan."
Li Yonggang looked at Yang Tianyi and Zhou Yuzhen, both of whom were also older children, and nodded in agreement.
Traffic regulations in this era were not as strict as those in later generations.
The two cars drove to the base's family compound, entered the chief's residential area, and stopped in the open space in front of the gate of Commander Qing's courtyard.
The soldier standing guard at the door saluted Zhu Xinfa and Li Yonggang. He knew that they were both leading cadres.
There were ten people in total, entering the gate.
Li Yonggang opened the trunk of the car and held a large fish box, which contained precious deep-sea live fish carefully selected by Liu Junhui.
Zhu Xinfa was carrying two bottles of Moutai.
It just so happened that Commander Qing came out of the small building to send an old cadre who came to wish him a happy new year.
As soon as Commander Qing saw the families of Li Yonggang and Zhu Xinfa, his face immediately beamed with joy.
However, Liu Junhui noticed that there was a hint of worry in Commander Qing's eyes.
His only daughter, Qing Lingping, has been receiving treatment abroad for over a year and has not returned yet.
Commander Qing's wife also spent the New Year abroad, and she wanted to accompany her daughter.
Commander Qing shook hands with everyone warmly and said New Year's greetings.
However, seeing the two families reunited, his thoughts couldn't help but fly to his wife and daughter on the other side of the ocean.
He had a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with endless worries.
"It's been over a year now. Every time I write to you, you say you're almost well, but why haven't you come back?"
These are the words that often linger in Commander Qing's mind.
He imagined his wife spending the New Year with their daughter in a foreign country, where there were no familiar relatives and friends, only the cold walls of the hospital and the pungent smell of medicine.
Liu Junhui saw what Commander Qing was thinking. She came to Commander Qing's side and said softly, "Commander, Commander Qing is blessed by fate. He will surely recover and return home soon."
Commander Qing nodded slightly, tears welling up in his eyes.
He could only pray silently, hoping that his wife and daughter who were far away abroad were safe and would return home soon to reunite with them.
To distract Commander Qing, Liu Junhui said, "Huai Nian, the car you got me is amazing!"
"Sedan? Oh, oh, Junhui, are you here?"
"It's here, parked in the open space in front of the gate. Do you want to go and take a look?"
“Go and see, go and see!”
Ten people accompanied Commander Qing to the door.
As Commander Qing saw the car, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Commander Qing walked towards the car with a smile on his face and light steps.
His agile posture and quick movements make it hard to believe that he is almost sixty years old.
Accompanied by Liu Junhui, he happily walked around the car.
Then, he reached out, opened the passenger door, and sat in the passenger seat to experience it.
Liu Junhui quickly sat in the driver's seat and introduced the car's advanced configuration to Commander Qing.
As soon as Commander Qing sat down, he couldn't help but gently rub the armrests of the seat with his hands and move his buttocks to test the vibration reduction performance.
His eyes were filled with fondness.
"Well, the vibration-absorbing properties of this chair are truly amazing."
Commander Qing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, his voice filled with excitement that was hard to conceal.
Then, his eyes began to wander around the car, carefully examining every decoration inside.
The sunlight shone through the car window onto the dashboard, giving it a faint glow. Several buttons were neatly arranged.
Commander Qing enthusiastically tried to adjust the front and back position of the seat. As the distance between his body and the seat changed, he truly felt the rationality and humanization of the space layout inside the car.
"Well, this new design is really thoughtful!"
He nodded with satisfaction, then turned his attention to the window switches.
He reached out and cranked the window handle.
The car window glass lowered smoothly.
Then he shook the handle again, and the car window glass slowly rose again. The whole process was extremely smooth, leaving only a slight and smooth sound echoing in the air.
