The night passed quickly. The next day, Qiao Liang got up early in the morning, said goodbye to Ye Xinyi, and sent another text message to Shao Bingyu, and took a taxi back to his hometown.

Home is still the familiar and friendly home. Qiao Liang hasn’t come back for half a year, and everything has not changed at home. When he returned to Qiaojiayu, his neighbors saw Qiao Liang and greeted him warmly.

The village is already full of the New Year atmosphere. Every household is decorated with lights and pasted with Spring Festival couplets, and is filled with the festive celebration of the Spring Festival everywhere.

When Qiao Liang returned home, the happiest thing was Qiao Liang's parents. The two elders knew that Qiao Liang was going to work in the northwest. Although Qiao Liang usually called and reported good news but not bad news, the two elders were worried about whether Qiao Liang was adapting to the climate in the northwest. They were idle and often heard others say that many people on the eastern coast would encounter problems of not adapting to the local environment after going to the northwest. So both of them were worried about Qiao Liang. When Qiao Liang came back, the two elders first carefully looked Qiao Liang up and down. Seeing that Qiao Liang had not lost weight, they just looked a little dry, and the two elders couldn't help but feel relieved.

Qiao Liang's mother said, "Liangzi, seeing that you are not thin, mom is relieved. I am still worried that you will not be used to the food over there."

"Mom, it's all the same. You can follow the local customs wherever you go and adapt to the food you want. You are worried about it." Qiao Liang said with a smile.

"It's different. I heard that the dietary difference between the northwest and us is quite big, and many people have bleeding noses when they go. Liangzi, don't you?" Qiao Liang's mother smiled.

"I don't have one. I've adapted to the climate there very quickly." Qiao Liang said with a smile.

Qiao Liang's father went back to the house at this time, and then walked out: "Liangzi, many leaders have come to greet me and your mother these days, and they have left red envelopes. We don't want to accept them, but they have to keep them. Your mother and I can't refuse them, so we can only collect them first. However, we didn't move these red envelopes. I thought about waiting for you to come back and let you decide. If it is not suitable to collect, you will take them back and return them to them."

Qiao Liang's father handed Qiao Liang several red envelopes and held them in his hand, which was quite a bit worthwhile.

Qiao Liang took it and took a look and found that each red envelope had its name written on it, including the Secretary of Sanjiang County You Chengdong, Deputy County Mayor Zhuang Jiaming, Yangshan County Mayor Gengzhi, Municipal Radio Director Kong Jie, Jiangzhou Daily Secretary Lu Ping, Lianjiang Prefecture Party Office Inspection Section Chief Sun Yong, and even Liu Yiping, who he met in Songbei County the day before yesterday, came here in advance to greet his parents a few days ago, and left red envelopes.

Everyone seems to have a good understanding, and the red envelope contains 800 yuan. In fact, this amount is just right. On the one hand, it will not touch the sensitive red line, on the other hand, it represents a kind of heart and also means a good omen.

Qiao Liang looked at it, handed the red envelope to his father, and said, "Dad, since these red envelopes are a little bit of their wish for you, then accept them."

"Liangzi, is this inappropriate? I heard that you are being arrested very strictly now and you cannot receive red envelopes randomly." Qiao Liang's father said.

"Dad, it's okay. This is just someone's feelings for you two elders, and it's not a problem." Qiao Liang smiled, "If you even accept a red envelope of 800 yuan, that's bribe."

Qiao Liang's father nodded after hearing this, put away the red envelope, and then told Qiao Liang that although Li Youwei could not come here in person, he sent someone to send a generous gift.

Qiao Liang nodded. He knew that Li Youwei was very busy before the Spring Festival. In his busy schedule, he could still remember his parents, which made Qiao Liang feel warm.

Qiao Liang then took out his cell phone and called the few people who had just come to his house to celebrate the New Year. One was to thank the other party, and the other was to wish him a New Year.

Qiao Liang also made an appointment with You Chengdong and Zhuang Jiaming, Gengzhi, Kong Jie, Sun Yong and others to come to their home to drink on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

On New Year's Eve, when bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Qiao Liang stood in the yard, looking up at the deep night sky, and heard the countdown of the TV Spring Festival Gala host, and the firecrackers from the small mountain village were ringing. His heart was surging, and his heart was filled with emotion. Another year passed, and he grew up one year, and as he grew older, his experience, experience and even qualifications were gradually increasing. With this increase, what would his tomorrow be? What would happen to his hard work within the system?

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang suddenly felt a little confused and confused.

Then Qiao Liang thought of Fang Xiaoya on the other side of the ocean, and her heart was filled with worries and longing, and a faint pain.

Then Qiao Liang took out his cell phone and sent a New Year greeting text to Fang Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, at this moment of farewell to the old and welcoming the new, I wish you happiness and joy. I wish you a good health as soon as possible. I hope you can recover as soon as possible. I hope you can see your pure and innocent smiling face again..."

After a moment, Qiao Liang received a reply from Fang Xiaoya: "Brother, good New Year, I wish you and your parents a happy New Year. I wish you good health, happiness and joy. I wish you a safe, smooth and successful career in the new year. Although we are thousands of miles apart, I have been watching you and deeply wishing you. Brother, you must be well..."

Looking at Fang Xiaoya's New Year greeting text message, Qiao Liang let out a gentle breath, then looked up at the night sky, staring at it for a long time, and felt a vague pain in his heart.

Before we knew it, tears fell from Qiao Liang's eyes...

On the first and second days of the lunar calendar, Qiao Liang stayed at home with his parents at the rest of the time except to greet the elders of his family, and never went anywhere.

On the second day of the junior high school, my sister and husband's family came over. Qiao Liang got drunk. Now he has achieved some success in the system. My sister and husband's family are also happy and healthy. My parents are both alive and healthy. Qiao Liang feels that nothing is happier than this.

Qiao Liang felt that happiness was actually very simple, and the greatest happiness in the world was contained in ordinary and calm.

Because he drank too much with his brother-in-law on the second day of the junior high school, Qiao Liang slept until after 10 a.m. until his mother entered the house and called him, saying that the county leader had come, so Qiao Liang got up.

When they came out, they found that You Chengdong and Zhuang Jiaming were coming together. The two were sitting in the living room with a smile and having tea with Qiao Liang's father. When Qiao Liang's father saw Qiao Liang coming, he got up and gave in and asked Qiao Liang to accompany the two leaders and go to work hard.

When You Chengdong saw Qiao Liang, he smiled half-truely and half-smile, "Brother, you invite us to have a drink and have dinner. We are all here, and you are still sleeping. Isn't it too uninvited to treat guests?"

"Hey, I didn't know that Secretary You and County Mayor Zhuang came so early. If you drink a drink later, I'll be the one who apologized for you." Qiao Liang said with a smile.

"You should have drunk two more drinks, why did we drink more?" You Chengdong said with a glaring eyes.

"What you are talking about is the general situation. On my side, I don't follow the general situation. Besides, you are drinking my wine. I'll give you two more glasses for free. Isn't it considered apologies?" Qiao Liang continued to smile.

"If you say that, then I won't drink it anymore and leave." You Chengdong angrily made a gesture to get up.

"Hehe..." Qiao Liang grinned, as if I wouldn't stop you even if you left.

Zhuang Jiaming, who was standing by, just smiled and looked at the scene without saying anything. Of course, he knew that Qiao Liang and You Chengdong were both joking and that they had a good relationship.

While the two were talking, the sound of cars sounded outside the door again. Qiao Liang got up and saw that he was honest and hurried out to greet him.

"County Magistrate Geng is here." Qiao Liang smiled. Seeing these old friends, Qiao Liang was happy from the bottom of his heart. These are also friends he deserves to make.

As Geng Dalai came, Kong Jie and Sun Yong also arrived one after another. A group of people chatted and joked. It was noon soon. As the master, Qiao Liang prepared a few boxes of wine early, including white, beer, and red. Today, I was preparing to have a big fight.

Qiao Liang's parents prepared a sumptuous table of wine and food, and started drinking as the people arrived.

In the first glass of wine, Qiao Liang suggested that everyone have a drink together to celebrate the New Year and celebrate their friendship. It is not easy to get together and drink together. What is rare is that everyone can walk together, which means that they are like-minded people, which is particularly valuable.

After Xiaoxiaonao finished drinking the first glass of wine, Qiao Liang looked at everyone and couldn't help but sigh secretly. Before he knew it, he also had his own small circle. In the city, although everyone here was only middle-level, and even Sun Yong was not even middle-level, he was in important positions. There were many opportunities to go further in the future and play a greater role in the Jiangzhou system stage. This is his most valuable connection resource. In the future, the people they here may play a role in influencing the political situation of Jiangzhou. After all, no one can predict the future.

After Qiao Liang finished picking up the wine, Sun Yong looked at Qiao Liang with a glass of wine and said, "Brother Qiao, I will toast you. Without you, there would be no today of me, Sun Yong. I, Sun Yong, always remember this love. If you have anything to do in the future, just say hello. I, Sun Yong, have nothing to do. I, Sun Yong, try my best to do this glass of wine for you."

On such occasions, Sun Yong said this, obviously not to avoid others, and the others also heard what Sun Yong said, looking at each other and smiling knowingly.

After Sun Yong finished speaking, he drank the wine in one sip. Seeing this, Qiao Liang raised his head and finished it without saying a word, and said to Sun Yong with a smile: "Brother Sun, you are having a dislike with me. I'm unhappy. You have to punish yourself for a drink."

"Okay, then I'll punish myself for a drink." Sun Yong responded without hesitation at all and smiled.

"Come on, everyone will continue to drink." Qiao Liang took the lead again at this time. He is the host of today and must make the atmosphere.

A group of people were talking and laughing, and no one knew how much they drank in the end. Most of the boxes of wine Qiao Liang prepared were killed, and they all drank so much that they had to call the driver to drive.

After spending the lively day of the third year of junior high school, Qiao Liang was at home and stayed at home to stay at home. On the fifth day of the lunar month, Qiao Liang returned to the city. He had to go to greet Li Youwei for New Year, and he couldn't stay at home for more. In Liangbei, Qiao Liang was also worried. According to the original plan, he returned to Liangbei on duty on the sixth day of the lunar month, but now he has been suspended, so he will definitely not be able to do anything about the duty. However, Qiao Liang could not go back. Qiao Liang hopes that the suspension will result as soon as possible, so he needs to go back.

When he arrived at Li Youwei's house, Li Youwei was sitting in the living room drinking tea. Gu Shuyun warmly greeted Qiao Liang to sit down.

"Boss, how is the overall development of the group this year?" Qiao Liang asked. Qiao Liang was still very concerned about the Zhengtai Group.

"Very good, steady and improving, and thriving." Li Youwei said.

"It seems that Xiaoya gave the group to you because she was the right person. With you, Xiaoya really doesn't have to worry so much." When talking about Fang Xiaoya, Qiao Liang felt a little disappointed. Since she went abroad to treat her illness, Fang Xiaoya has never come back. Even during the Chinese New Year, Fang Xiaoya is alone overseas. This makes Qiao Liang feel uncomfortable when she thinks about it. What he is even more worried about is how Fang Xiaoya's condition is.

On New Year's Eve, Qiao Liang did not call and talk, except sending text messages to Fang Xiaoya to greet each other. It was not that Qiao Liang didn't want to call, but was afraid that he would be unable to control his emotions after calling Fang Xiaoya's voice.

Seeing Qiao Liang's concern, Li Youwei said: "Liangzi, don't worry about Xiaoya. As far as I know, although Xiaoya's condition is a bit complicated, it is not a serious disease. Moreover, she also has Ji Hong and Xiao Zheng accompanying her abroad. You, don't worry too much."

Qiao Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this. He hadn't seen Fang Xiaoya for a long time, so he missed her so much.

"By the way, Liangzi, did you see the news about you online a few years ago? Did it have a big impact on you?" Li Youwei thought of this and asked with concern.

"If you want to say that there must be an impact, I have been suspended at this time." Qiao Liang said, seeing that Li Youwei's face suddenly showed a worried look, Qiao Liang hurriedly said, "But don't worry, I have the confidence to pass through this level safely."

"I didn't expect you to be suspended." Li Youwei frowned. He saw news about Qiao Liang on the Internet a few years ago. He wanted to call and ask, but after some consideration, he gave up the idea because he knew that Qiao Liang would come back soon for the New Year and meet him, so he could have a face-to-face talk. Moreover, the group had many affairs before the Spring Festival, and Fang Xiaoya was not here, so he was responsible for the group's big and small matters. In addition, Qiao Liang did not call him, so Li Youwei thought nothing was wrong. After all, many news on the Internet were stolen.
