Zhang Kaishan said, "You definitely won't have any problems."

As they were talking, Song Qiaoli had already prepared the meal. Now it was the Spring Festival, there were many dishes at home, many were ready-made, and it was fast to make. Song Qiaoli shouted, "Time to eat!"

Lu Zhenghong stood up and said, "Let's go, Comrade Kaishan, Zhang Cheng, let's go eat together. It's the New Year, let's have a few drinks!"

Both of them were in high positions now, and they were busy during the New Year. In the past few days, many cadres had come to their homes to pay their respects, but they had just arrived in Qinxi not long ago, and it could be said that they didn't have a real close friend yet. Only when Zhang Kaishan came could Lu Zhenghong truly relax.

They sat at the dining table, and Su Xinghui took out a bottle of thirty-year-old Pengwan Daqu. This time he came to Xidu, he brought two more boxes of this wine. Now he could let Zhang Kaishan drink the wine from his hometown.

Zhang Kaishan smiled and said, "Only Xinghui can buy this kind of wine. At that time, when I, the county party secretary, wanted to buy a few boxes of wine, Chen Xiangui from that winery was very embarrassed, and later he gave me a discount and only gave me one box."

Su Xinghui said, "Don't blame Chen Xiangui. This kind of wine is indeed too little, and one box sold is one box less. If everyone went to him to ask for it, and he gave it to everyone, then those old wines would soon be sold out. It's not bad that you could buy a box."

Zhang Kaishan said, "You still have the ability. It was you who revitalized this winery, so he naturally buys your account."

Lu Zhenghong raised his glass and said, "Come, let's have a drink together. Wish everyone a Happy New Year! Better every year!"

They raised their glasses together and drank the wine. According to the rules of China, after the Spring Festival, it is the new year. In the new year, they all hope that they will live better and better, and our country will also be better and better.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya took the child to stroll on the streets of Xidu. Feng Shulun served as a guide, while Shen Feng was the driver and guard. He was originally Lu Zhenghong's driver and guard. Lu Zhenghong didn't use the car these days, so he drove Su Xinghui's family to the street to stroll.

The atmosphere of the New Year in Xidu was very strong. You could often hear a burst of firecrackers, and the flow of people on the street was also very large, which could be said to be shoulder to shoulder. From time to time, you could see lion and dragon dance teams. In this regard, Xidu was still doing very well.

Feng Shulun let Shen Feng drive the car to the entrance of a cross street. The flow of people on this street was even larger. On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of stalls. On the stalls, there were all kinds of folk items, all kinds of snacks, and antiques. In short, the things sold were varied and all-encompassing.

Feng Shulun asked, "This is the Spring Festival temple fair in our Xidu. Do you want to go in and see?"

Such a temple fair was hard to see in Hudong Province. Su Xinghui was very interested. He looked at Lu Xiaoya and asked, "Xiaoya, do you want to go in and see?"

Lu Xiaoya also liked this kind of occasion, but she was still holding the child in her arms. Seeing the crowd that was blocked by water at the temple fair, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Su Xinghui said, "If you want to see it, I can open the way for you."

Shen Feng also nodded and said, "I can also help open the way."

Only then did Lu Xiaoya nod and say, "Alright."

Spending the Spring Festival in Xidu, such folk temple fairs are the essence of the Spring Festival culture here. If you come here and don't take a look, it would be a pity.

So, they got out of the car. Su Xinghui and Shen Feng protected Lu Xiaoya and the child one after another. Feng Shulun was also not small, and he protected Lu Xiaoya's side. The three of them separated a small space for Lu Xiaoya so that she and the child would not be disturbed by others.

The folk culture atmosphere in Xidu was much stronger than in Jiangcheng. Many things placed on the stalls made Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya very interested, such as clay dolls, paper cuttings, and embroidered pouches. They all felt they were very beautiful.

They bought a pile of things before long, and Shen Feng carried them for them.

When passing by a small stall, Su Xinghui was attracted by this stall. The person setting up the stall was an old lady with gray hair. She was holding a piece of red paper and a pair of scissors, cutting window flowers with skilled movements. In less than two minutes, she cut a beautiful window flower and handed it to a young girl waiting in front of the stall.

Looking at the beautiful window flower, the girl was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She took out her wallet to pay the bill, then said "Thank you, old lady," and left happily with the window flower.

Su Xinghui asked about the price. The old lady said that according to different sizes, window flowers were divided into three grades: five yuan, three yuan, and two yuan. Su Xinghui let the old lady cut a few window flowers for himself.
