In the smoking area outside the office, after Qiu Yue finished talking to me, he put the cigarette in his mouth, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.

Looking at Qiu Yue's leaving back, I became worried in my heart.Although I said that to him just now, it was just to make Qiu Yue feel less anxious, let alone feel guilty, that's why I said that, and now Xingrui Foreign Trade stayed with us to work overtime Management, they are all starting to have their own minds, and of course I can't let things mess up.

It's not that I suspect that there is something wrong with Qiu Yue, on the contrary, as a good brother with Qiu Yue for many years, I completely trust him, precisely because he said that he is convinced that he and the company's executives are here to review the materials together Yes, but it turned out to be an accident, and this information made me have some bad thoughts in my heart.

This evening, after I came back, I had a short meeting with Qiu Yue and several senior executives of Xingrui Foreign Trade. In the end, I ordered takeaway for everyone and asked for a hearty supper, and then let them go back early to rest up.

At this time, I have to act much more relaxed and indifferent than them, so that everyone can relax a little.In another two or three days, it will be time for all of us to go home after the annual holiday.

In the conference room, after everyone finished their supper, I stood in the middle and encouraged everyone with a smile.

"After supper, everyone go back and have a good rest. You don't have to come to the company again tomorrow. If you should go home, you should relax. Work is like making money. It will never be finished. The body and mentality are the most important. If there is any problem, let’s wait until the annual meeting to deal with it. Here, I wish everyone a happy new year in advance!"

After some words, accompanied by their applause, everyone in the meeting room finally showed a smile on their faces, and the atmosphere gradually improved a little.

……

After the company is completely on holiday, tomorrow is February [-]th, and Ning Bingrou and I should also prepare to go back to our hometown for the New Year.On the day before going back, the two of us went to the shopping mall again and bought a lot of new year's goods, which we planned to take home.

In the shopping mall, I already have several big shopping bags in my hand, but Ning Bingrou always seems to feel that I haven't prepared enough and wants to keep buying.

Ning Bingrou looked around the surrounding stores, and finally her eyes fell on me. She said in a negotiating tone: "Dong Li, how about we buy some more coats for Lao Zhou and Auntie? I feel that now It’s still cold, so it should be necessary, and new clothes are needed for Chinese New Year.”

When Ning Bingrou followed me and called my father "Old Zhou", although this was not the first time I heard her say that, I still couldn't help but feel a little bit amused.

Facing Ning Bingrou's proposal, I briefly thought about it, nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, but I have to pay the bill, you are not allowed to compete with me to pay the bill, do you hear me?"

Ning Bingrou smiled mischievously, and said, "Oh, it doesn't matter who pays the bill, you always argue with me about these things."

"Let's go."

In the clothing brand store in the shopping mall, I bought a set of clothes for Lao Zhou and my mother respectively. Lao Zhou’s is a suit. It's a down jacket.

I thought about it, and finally bought another suit for Ning Xiongzheng, because before that, I had already discussed it with Ning Bingrou. Bring Lao Zhou and mother back to City A, and then go to Ning Xiongzheng's house together.

At that time, it will be tantamount to a door-to-door marriage proposal in the true sense.

After some "searching", we finally left the shopping mall with satisfaction.

The next morning, around nine o'clock, we drove back to our hometown. Besides Ning Bingrou and I, there was also my cousin Zhou Junhan who went back with us on this "ride".

On the way back, the three of us started chatting.It was Ning Bingrou who started the topic first, she turned her head to look at Zhou Junhan, and asked with a smile.

"Xiaohan, it's another Spring Festival, when are you going to take your girlfriend home to meet your parents?"

Zhou Junhan smiled shyly, and said: "Sister-in-law, I, I haven't written off my horoscope yet, we just talked for about half a year, it's still early, and...the economic situation is not stable enough, not so Fast."

Now, while driving, I glanced at Zhou Junhan in the rearview mirror, and took up the conversation with a smile: "But you also have to consider the woman's feelings, I remember you told me that your girlfriend It seems to be a little older than you, right? Don't worry if you are a man, but what about her? Has your family urged you to get married?"

Zhou Junhan smiled and said frankly: "Don't worry, the marriage is not so early. My girlfriend and I have discussed it. Before the economic situation has stabilized and we don't have a certain amount of savings, we won't get married so early. Thinking about getting married."

When it came to this topic, Zhou Junhan seemed to have a special "opinion", and continued to add in a tone full of emotion.

"In this era, it is different now. Without certain savings, many people dare not rush to get married. Some couples would rather miss it than just make do with each other, especially when they arrive After getting married and before giving birth to a child...Brother, sister-in-law, do you know? Now some people think that if the family has no material conditions, they just give birth to the child and cannot afford it. Or in other words, if they don’t give their children a better future, they may even feel that this is a kind of ‘sin’, and they should not let newborns bear the responsibility and consequences of not being rich enough.”

Hearing this, Ning Bingrou's expression became a little sad, and she said softly: "I have seen these statements similar to what you said, but most of them are seen on the Internet, although everyone has I have different ideas, but I...haven't been able to understand it to that extent, and I don't quite agree with it. It is precisely because of the circumstances you just mentioned, so...fewer and fewer people are getting married now, and more and more people are getting married. Fewer people are willing to have children."

Zhou Junhan nodded immediately, agreeing with Ning Bingrou: "Yes, the opportunity for ordinary people to climb up is really too difficult, but this is just my own idea, like my brother, didn't he start from scratch? Is it? So, I can’t be discouraged and complain, I believe that if I continue to work hard, I will still have a chance.”

I couldn't help laughing, and jokingly said: "Stinky boy, you made such a big circle with you, just to come back and give me a rainbow fart?! Xiaohan, hard work is of course important, but when we were young, it was more important. It is the direction and the opportunity, if these two points are put aside, then everything will be in vain, and you will not get much improvement if you work hard for a lifetime."

On the way home, we were basically chatting, but when I asked Zhou Junhan about his feelings since he joined the company and what it was like to stay in Langchao Villa, his words gradually decreased He stood up, as if deliberately avoiding this topic.Then he found a reason why he was sleepy and wanted to squint for a while, and prevaricated it.

So what is good and bad?This kid, is it possible that I will scold him severely?

After a journey of more than three hours, we returned to our hometown at about noon.Originally, I wanted to ask Zhou Junhan to go back to my house for lunch, but he declined my offer, saying that he was sleepy, so he should go home and rest first. I will come to visit our house again with my aunt.

I first drove Zhou Junhan back to his home, and then I went back to my own home.The last time I came back to my hometown was just over two months ago, but I feel that it has been a long time.
