Chapter 238: Paying an Early New Year's Visit

~4 min read 695 words

These two days, Su Xinghui lived quite comfortably. He met with some old classmates and some old friends every day, reminisced about the past, and gathered together, taking the opportunity of the New Year to pick up these old feelings.

Of course, the New Year goods needed for the family were also bought back by him. Melon seeds, peanuts, candy, etc., were all bought, as well as some New Year vegetables, mainly radishes, cabbage, etc., that were easy to store. Otherwise, during those two days of the New Year, vegetable vendors wouldn't set up stalls, and these vegetables would really have nowhere to be bought.

On the morning of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Su Xinghui was helping his mother with some housework at home when he heard someone knocking on the door. He went to open the door and called out in surprise: "Secretary Fang, Director Zhao, Sister Xia Lan, Xia Zhu, why are you here? Come in, come in quickly."

It turned out that standing outside were several village cadres from Wild Boar Gully Village, as well as Xia Zhu. Fang Youcai saw Su Xinghui and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally found Director Su's house, it was really not easy."

Su Xinghui let them in and asked them to sit on the sofa. Fang Youcai and Zhao Zhongfu each carried two small cages. Inside the cages were two pheasants and two bamboo rats. They asked where the Su family's kitchen was so they could put them down.

Su Xinghui said: "Secretary Fang, Director Zhao, what are you doing? It's fine that you came, why bring anything?"

Fang Youcai said: "Director Su, you must accept it. This is a piece of heart from all the old folks in our village. Our village doesn't have any other good things, just these wild things that can be brought out. Consider it adding two dishes to your family's New Year's dinner table."

At this time, Su Wunjun came out of the room, and Guo Suhua came out of the kitchen. They said together: "Xinghui, are there guests at home?"

Su Xinghui introduced them: "These are several village cadres from our township's Wild Boar Gully Village."

Su Wunjun and his wife said hurriedly: "Welcome, welcome."

Guo Suhua hurriedly went to make a few cups of tea. Su Wunjun shook hands with Fang Youcai and the others one by one. When Fang Youcai shook hands with Su Wunjun, he even wiped his hands on his clothes several times before shaking hands with Su Wunjun.

Su Wunjun laughed: "Secretary Fang, there's no need for this."

Fang Youcai said: "Doctor Su, we have long heard that you are the expert with the best medical skills in the county hospital. Seeing you today, you are indeed worthy of the name!"

Su Wunjun found it somewhat funny. Could he tell his medical skills just by meeting? But he also knew that the other party had to say a few polite words, so he also nodded in thanks and sat down beside Su Xinghui.

Zhao Zhongfu asked Guo Suhua where the kitchen was, and he wanted to take the four cages in. Guo Suhua saw this and said hurriedly: "How can this be? It's fine that you came, why bring anything?"

Zhao Zhongfu laughed: "You don't know, Director Su has helped our village a lot. If it weren't for Director Su, our village probably wouldn't be able to spend the New Year this year. These things are the heart of all the people in our village. It's really too little and can't be brought out. Don't dislike it for being too little."

Xia Zhu also brought her hands, which had been behind her back, to her front. She took out a bamboo weaving painting and said to Su Xinghui: "Brother Xinghui, this is a little bit of my heart. Hanging it at home for the New Year is festive."

Su Xinghui took it and looked at it. It turned out to be "The Country is So Beautiful." This painting was magnificent, and the main color was red. Hanging it at home for the New Year was indeed very festive.
