Chapter 432 New Year’s greetings

Chapter 432 New Year’s greetings
No matter how chaotic the outside world is, it can't disturb Li Kailang.

After dinner, Li Kailang went back to rest as he had to go to pay New Year’s greetings in the afternoon.

In previous years, we would just greet each other as brothers and sisters, but this year, there is one more person to greet.

After the lunch break, Li Kailang went to Zhang Fen’s new home in the afternoon to wish him a happy new year.

Now all three families of Zhang Fen are here to add some homely atmosphere to the new home, and they will go back to their own homes after the New Year.

"Master, Brother Zhang, I'm here to wish you a happy new year!" Li Kailang shouted at the door, and Zhang Fen immediately opened the door for him.

Coincidentally, Lu Wenjiang was also in the house, so he didn't have to go out of his way to pay New Year's greetings.

The four families chatted briefly together, and then Li Kailang got up and left to wish Director Yang a happy new year.

Last year, I received a lot of help from Director Yang, who helped him attend night school, gave him professional books, and told him about problems with workshop production.

The most important thing is to build a study room for him and give him a quiet and independent study environment.

After all the things I have done, it would be unjust if I don't go to pay New Year's greetings.

Director Yang lives in the compound. If he wants to go in, he has to inform the guard. Even if he does, he cannot get in and has to wait at the door.

"Why does it look so familiar?" Li Kailang looked at the gate of the compound and felt as if he had been there before.

"Hey, hasn't this been here before? Has he been here before to secretly cut out letters?"

In May last year, he put issues such as Sino-Soviet relations and famine here by cutting out words. That was the time he came.

"I didn't expect that I would be here again. I wouldn't know it's here just by looking at the address." Li Kailang murmured.

After the guard informed Director Yang of the visitor's origin and confirmed that Director Yang knew him, he allowed Li Kailang to pass and took him to Director Yang's residence.

Li Kailang chatted with the guards: "Comrade, you are quite strict here. It's not like other places where there are so many rules and regulations."

The guard nodded: "Of course, don't you see where we are? This is a compound, and the people living here are all important people. It's always better to be careful."

"You've come at the wrong time. It's Chinese New Year and we are at our strictest. You're not from here. Don't wander around after meeting the leader."

"Otherwise, if you are caught, you will still have to go to jail."

"Okay, I see. Thanks for the reminder."

"You're welcome."

The security curfew is also to prevent certain people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the New Year's greetings to give gifts and establish relationships.

Soon, the guard brought Li Kailang to the door of Director Yang's house and knocked on the door: "We are here, please come in."

"Thank you, comrade."

"You're welcome. After you're done paying New Year's greetings, walk back the way you came. Just remember not to walk around randomly."

"Remember, keep busy."

The guard nodded and turned to leave.

The door opened, and Director Yang walked out, saying enthusiastically, "Happy New Year, Xiao Li!"

"Director Yang, Happy New Year! I'm here to wish you a happy new year." Li Kailang responded enthusiastically.

"Come on, come on, come in and sit down!"

Entering Director Yang's house, Li Kailang picked up the gift in his hand and said, "Director Yang, I'll leave it here for you."

"Hey, it's New Year's Day, you're here, what do you bring? Isn't this unfamiliar? I'm sorry to have cost you money, I'll give you the money later."

Li Kailang waved his hand: "No, no, these are worthless things, how can I ask for money? These are local specialties from the countryside, they are nothing."

"Thanks for your care over the years. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. But I don't have much ability, so I can only bring these worthless things."

"This is my gift, you must accept it!"

Director Yang was very pleased that Li Kailang was so sensible. He thought he had not chosen the wrong person.

Director Yang took a look at the gifts, which were all local farm specialties such as mushrooms, dried fruits, dried sweet potatoes, etc., and were indeed not worth much.

But food is scarce now. Although he is the factory director and has no shortage of food, he can’t enjoy the food well.

The food Li Kailang sent was just the right amount of flavor to add to the mouth, making it less dry. It was like the icing on the cake.

Director Yang was very satisfied: "Thank you for your gift. I appreciate your kindness."

"What do you mean by taking care of me? This is all earned by your own ability. You can't really say anything about it."

Li Kailang looked around to make sure that no one would come out of the room, and carefully took out a wooden box from his pocket.

"Director Yang, I have something good here, take a look."

Director Yang looked at the wooden box, which was quite delicately made of rosewood. He looked at Li Kailang in surprise.

"What's in this?"

"You'll know when you open it."

Hearing this, Director Yang opened the wooden box with a puzzled heart. There was a small bottle inside the wooden box, and he opened the bottle.

I saw about ten pills inside.

Director Yang was angry upon seeing this, but he did not lose his temper immediately.

"What is this?"

"Director Yang, this is a good thing, a great thing. If you take one, I guarantee you will be full of energy. It is absolutely effective."

Li Kailang raised his eyebrows twice, the meaning was self-evident.

Hearing this, Director Yang could still understand what it meant and asked in a low voice: "Is it really effective?"

Li Kailang nodded heavily: "Really! It is absolutely effective. Someone has already tried it. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to give it to you."

Although Director Yang is the factory director, he is not as old as the latter, just over 40 years old.

No, it’s the age of being full of energy.

Although Director Yang is the factory director, he is also not immune to these material possessions. After all, he is at the age of making a living, and how can he just shed tears while guarding his beautiful wife?

Director Yang pointed and laughed: "You are on to something, kid!"

Li Kailang waved his hands: "No, no, this is what I should do."

"Where did you get this? Will you have more in the future?"

Otherwise, he would be the factory director. He would think about whether there is anything else before he uses it.

I didn't expect that Director Yang is such a person. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

"Yes, there are plenty. I bought this from a master chef who went to the countryside. As long as there are herbs, he can make it. When I'm done eating, I can buy some herbs from the city and give them to him to make."

"That's fine." Director Yang nodded. As long as there's more in the future, it's fine. Then there's no need to save it.

It's right that he has made great efforts to cultivate Li Kailang, and he will have to increase his efforts in the future.

Looking at the wooden box, Director Yang couldn't let it go and thought to himself: "I'll try eating one tonight."

Thanks to this pill, the relationship between the two of them instantly became much closer.

"Come on, come on, come in and talk."

Director Yang invited Li Kailang to sit on the sofa and chatted with him for a while.

"Oh, by the way, your results are out, right? How did you do in the exam?"

"Not bad. Both theory and practical tests scored over 90 points, which is pretty good."

"90 points, that's pretty good. I didn't expect you to be such a good student. Sending you to night school was the best decision I made in the past few decades."

After saying this, Director Yang laughed out loud. For people in high positions, it is difficult for them to feel a sense of accomplishment with ordinary things.

But when I see the people I recommended gradually improving, the sense of accomplishment is hard to describe in words.

"By the way, how did your two classmates do in the exam?"

"They are not bad either, both scores are above 80."

"That's amazing. You must have worked very hard to get such a high score. Very good. Keep it up."

"Yes."

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Kailang stood up and said goodbye.

"You're leaving so early, why don't you stay for dinner before leaving."

"No, I have something else to do later, so I won't bother Director Yang."

After some refusal, Li Kailang left the compound smoothly, and it was Director Yang who personally saw him out of the compound.

After leaving the compound, Li Kailang had nothing to do.

"I've already paid my New Year's greetings, and there's no one left to pay my New Year's greetings to. It's time to go back."

As for wishing New Year's greetings to Jin Jianxian and Yu Xingmei, Li Kailang didn't know their addresses.

To be more precise, none of the three knew each other's addresses. Although they lived in the same area, they didn't want to disturb each other.

As classmates, we should just learn from each other and not have too much overlap in our private lives.

"Oh, relax, go home."

Return to the yard.

It was still early at this time, so Li Kailang moved a lounge chair and took a short rest in the warm sunshine.

"Brother." Suddenly, a soft voice was heard.

Li Kailang opened one eye and found that it was Yan Jiedi jogging towards him.

"Brother." Yan Jiedi stretched out her chubby little hand, her purpose was obvious.

"You little greedy cat, you want candy again." Li Kailang scratched little Yan Jiedi's pink nose and reluctantly took out some candies from his pocket and gave them to her.

Yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Yan Jie Di came early to wish him a happy new year. Li Kailang gave her a red envelope according to custom. After all, she was a child, and the money was not much, only 2 yuan.

But as soon as the money was brought home, it was taken away by Yan Bugui. Yan Jiedi was so angry that she started crying on the spot and no one could comfort her. In the end, Yan Bugui had to carry her to find Li Kailang.

As soon as Li Kailang hugged her, Yan Jiedi stopped crying. When he took out the candy, Yan Jiedi immediately burst into laughter and ate the candy happily.

When Yan Jie Di was taken home again, the candy was taken away by Yan Bugui again. She was so angry that she burst into tears on the spot. Even if Yan Bugui returned the candy to her, it would not work and she had to go to Li Kailang again.

After two times, Yan Jiedi learned her lesson. If there was something delicious, she would never eat too much. She would keep it with Li Kailang and ask him for it when she wanted to eat.

In this case, Yan Bugui couldn't do anything to her. After all, the things were given by Li Kailang, and he couldn't just go to his house to ask for them back. Yan Bugui was not so shameless as to do that.

"Little brat!" Li Kailang picked up Yan Jie Di and put her on his lap, basking in the sun with her. "Baji, baji~" Yan Jie Di was still smacking her lips. Yan Jie Kuang was envious of his sister for having candy, after all, he was born at a bad time.

When I was young, I had no candy to eat. When I grew up, I had coupons, but I still had no candy to eat. When I was neither young nor old, my family was in turmoil, so it was impossible for me to spend money on candy.

However, even though he was envious, Yan Jiekuang didn't feel comfortable asking Li Kailang for it. After all, he considered himself an adult.

"Li Kailang!"

Li Kailang opened his eyes and saw a beautiful figure in front of him: "Why are you here?"

"What? Can't I come?"

"You can come, but do your parents know that you are here with me?"

"Why is it that whenever I go out, you always ask my parents if they know? I'm already this old, can't I go out by myself?"

Lou Xiao'e put her hands on her hips and looked at Li Kailang with a puffy face.

"Yes, of course. Who are you?" Li Kailang said with a smile.

This is the eldest daughter of the Lou family, a rich daughter. How can she not be careful when she goes out?
Lou Zhenhua actually felt comfortable with his daughter coming to wish him a happy new year, and Li Kailang did not expect Lou Xiaoe to come.

"Come in and sit down. I haven't seen you for a long time. You've grown more beautiful!"

"Oh? Really? I've grown prettier?" Lou Xiao'e touched her face, feeling a little shy.

"Really? It's true. They say girls change a lot when they grow up. She must be prettier than she was a few days ago."

"Really? Then tell me, what is so beautiful about me?"

"Ah, this." Li Kailang didn't know how to answer. He just said a few words, but he took it seriously.

"Hmph, you dare to lie to me, you deserve a beating!" Lou Xiao'e slapped Li Kailang on the arm.

Fortunately, his muscles were strong, so Lou Xiao'e's powerful blow did not cause much damage to him, let alone insult.

Li Kailang put Yan Jiedi down and said, "Go home and play." Then he invited Lou Xiaoe to come into the house and sit down.

Lou Xiao'e didn't care about Li Kailang's politeness and handed over the gift in her hand: "Here, this is a gift for you, see if you like it?"

"Oh, it's a gift from Miss Lou. I have to accept it." Li Kailang responded politely with a smile.

When I took the gift and opened it, I was surprised to find a small yellow croaker.

"You just gave me such an expensive gift so innocently. Doesn't your father know?"

Lou Xiao'e said angrily, "Why do you have to ask my dad's opinion? What does it matter if he knows or not? Can't it be my own little treasury?"

Li Kailang complimented him at the right time: "That's true, you are Miss Lou, and there are not many people in the city who are richer than you."

He had 10 large yellow croakers and more than yuan in savings. This small yellow croaker was not very important to him, so he gladly accepted it.

Who would have thought that a small yellow croaker was a very valuable item last year, but is worthless this year.

"Why did you suddenly think of wishing me a happy new year? I don't believe you would come to me for no reason."

Lou Xiao'e puffed up her lips and said angrily, "Can't I just come here to wish you a happy new year? Can't you think of me a little bit?"

"Who are you? You are Miss Lou. It's New Year's Day. I don't believe that Director Lou won't drag you to greet other people during the New Year. How could it be the turn of a small person like me?"

"Hmph!" Lou Xiao'e was very unconvinced that Li Kailang had guessed it right, but there was nothing she could do.

Lou Xiao'e really couldn't stand accompanying Lou Zhenhua to wish other people a happy new year. It was not fun at all and she felt restricted all the time.

Some even asked her about her marriage. She was going to college, so how could she be in a hurry to get married?

When she got angry, she would run to Li Kailang to avoid the limelight and seek quietness.

Lou Xiao'e said, "You have accepted the things, but you can't chase me away, or I won't come again."

'All right, all right.'

"Li Kailang." Suddenly, there was another voice.

"Who?"

Li Kailang opened the door and saw that the person standing outside was Xu Damao.

"Not good!" Li Kailang thought to himself. Lou Xiao'e was still in the room. Xu Damao couldn't see her.

"Li" Xu Damao hadn't finished speaking when he saw Lou Xiao'e through the gap.

"Why are you here?" Xu Damao couldn't help but ask.

On the contrary, Lou Xiao'e became unhappy as soon as she saw Xu Damao: "I can go wherever I want. It's none of your business!"

Xu Damao thought about it and said, "That's true."

He was still a little scared of the warning Lou Xiao'e gave him. He stayed in the countryside for a whole month and didn't come back. Those days were so miserable that he couldn't express it in words.

He didn't dare to have any ideas about Lou Xiao'e now, for fear that he would be sent to the countryside again. He shuddered just thinking about those days.

Li Kailang looked at Xu Damao. Logically speaking, shouldn't Xu Damao be angry? Lou Xiao'e was here, so it must be him who ruined the good thing between him and Lou Xiao'e.

Why did you see Lou Xiaoe? Shouldn't you blame him? Why did you start chatting with him?
At this moment, Li Kailang was confused and at a loss.

However, it's a good thing that the two of them didn't quarrel, so that he wouldn't have to be in a difficult position. But if a quarrel really happened, he would definitely help Lou Xiao'e.

After all, he thought that he was not a good person and he also knew some mad dog fists. He couldn't hurt Lou Xiao'e, otherwise he would have to explain himself.

"Xu Damao, what do you want from Li Kailang?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot. Li Kailang, do you still have that pill? Can you give me some more?"

Xu Damao said it so openly.

"Fuck!" Li Kailang quickly covered Xu Damao's mouth.

Such a secret matter was spoken so openly in front of Lou Xiao'e. Isn't this going to teach people bad things?

Li Kailang hurriedly dealt with Xu Damao's first, "Yes, do you want more?"

After saying this, Li Kailang realized that something was wrong. These words confused Xu Damao.

"Nonsense, why would I look for you if I don't want it? Hurry up and give it to me. I need it urgently."

"Okay, I'll get it for you now, just wait." Li Kailang looked at Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao and warned them, "Don't fight, this is my house."

"If you win the fight, you go to jail. If you lose, you go to the hospital."

Little did they know that Xu Damao had no feelings for Lou Xiao'e at all and was always thinking about Sai Fengxian.

Liu Guangqi and Zhang Lan's wedding had just ended in the morning, and he was itching to execute Sai Fengxian on the spot in the evening. Why would he bother with the trouble of Lou Xiao'e?

Xu Damao knew very well how good Sai Fengxian was, but he had no interest in how good Lou Xiaoe was.

Xu Damao will think about Lou Xiao'e only after the novelty of Sai Fengxian wears off. Now his mind is full of Sai Fengxian, Sai Fengxian, and Sai Fengxian.

Soon, Li Kailang took the medicine out of the house and handed it directly to Xu Damao.

"How much? I'll give it to you."

"No need for money. It's New Year. What do you need money for? Just take it back and use it." Li Kailang now just wanted to send Xu Damao away.

"Thank you." Xu Damao did not refuse. He took the pills and left without even looking at Lou Xiaoe.

"Huh~" As Xu Damao left, Li Kailang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Li Kailang, what did you give Xu Damao?" Lou Xiao'e asked curiously.

"Well, it's better if you don't know this."

"No!" The more Li Kailang said to stop her from talking, the more curious Lou Xiao'e became. "Tell me quickly, what is that thing!"

"You're so mysterious, it looks like a good thing, I want one too."

"Those are pills, they are for men to take. It's not suitable for a girl like you."

"Who cares? I want it. I want it. I can't eat it. I'll give it to my dad. Tell me what that thing is."

Seeing Lou Xiaoe chattering and asking questions non-stop, Li Kailang could only answer truthfully, "It's Brother Wei! Something that can help a man regain his virility!"

"what!"

"Snapped!!!"

Lou Xiao'e screamed loudly and slapped Li Kailang on the face, leaving a slap mark.

"Li Kailang, you are shameless!"

Lou Xiao'e's face turned red with shame, so red that it seemed like tears were about to seep out of it.

"I told you it was inappropriate, but you insisted on asking. And you were happy after I told you."

"Good for you, Li Kailang. I didn't expect you to be such a person. I misjudged you!"

Li Kailang shrugged helplessly and watched Lou Xiaoe rush out.

Just when Li Kailang thought Lou Xiao'e was going to leave, she suddenly turned back.

"Why are you back again?"

Lou Xiao'e stretched out her hand.

"What do you mean?"

"I also want."

"You want it too? You're a girl, what do you want? Do you want to eat it?"

"Ah! Li Kailang, you are going to die, why should I eat, I am eating for my dad!"

After saying that, he slapped him again.

"Snapped!"

Both sides of Li Kailang's face turned red.

"Hurry up and get it for me."

Li Kailang could only give the pills to Lou Xiaoe.

"Li Kailang, I misjudged you! Humph!"

After saying that, Lou Xiao'e ran away, this time she left for good.

"It seems that Director Lou is also in trouble?" Li Kailang raised his eyebrows.
