Reborn since 2005

Chapter 84 Hug

Yan Xin put his backpack in the trunk, then got into the passenger seat. The first thing he did was to fasten his seat belt.

Then he glanced at Ai Lili and saw that the seat belt had been buckled. Then he felt relieved and praised: "Sister Lili, your safety awareness has finally improved."

Ai Lili felt a little embarrassed: "It's not as exaggerated as you said. In fact, I would have paid attention to it before."

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind: "If I didn't put on my seat belt this time, would he put it on me again?"

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I couldn't help but blush. I quickly started the car to distract myself.

He started the car and drove onto the road, and then said to Yan Xin: "It's still a little early for you to ask for leave. If you are two days later, you will be in time for the company's New Year's Eve dinner. You can have a New Year's Eve dinner before leaving.

There will also be prize draws and so on."

Yan Xin said: "It's really a pity. The main reason is that I want to go back and spend the New Year with my dad."

In some places, the Little New Year is celebrated on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and in some places the Little New Year is celebrated on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. In Yan Xin's hometown, the Little New Year is celebrated on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, which happens to be tomorrow.

I can catch the train tonight and go back tomorrow to celebrate the New Year.

Yan Xin didn't have much expectations for the company's New Year's Eve dinner. Even if he was lucky enough to win the first prize in the lottery, it would be five hundred yuan in cash.

As for the consolation prize, it is a mention of lemon tea, and there is nothing to look forward to.

Ai Lili said oh and said nothing.

The car drove all the way out, onto the highway, and headed towards Yangcheng.

On the way, Ailili asked Yan Xin how their hometown used to celebrate the New Year. Yan Xin also picked some lively things to tell her, which made Ailili feel a little yearning, and then sighed:

"I remember going to my grandpa's house to celebrate the New Year when I was a child. The New Year atmosphere was very strong and lively. But then my grandpa and grandma were gone. After that, I spent the New Year with my mother, which was much more deserted than usual."

Yan Xin knew her situation. She was just an illegitimate daughter, and she was the kind of shady girl. She could go to her grandpa's house to celebrate the New Year, but she couldn't go to her grandparents' house to celebrate the New Year.

He said with a smile: "When my house is finished, I invite you to come over and experience the New Year atmosphere in our countryside."

Ellie's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

But soon, his vision dimmed.

She knew this was impossible.

The Chinese New Year is a very important event in the minds of Chinese people, and it even has a religious atmosphere.

You can’t just invite others to your home to celebrate the New Year.

Moreover, during the Chinese New Year, she will definitely spend the Chinese New Year with her mother. No matter how deserted it is, the mother and daughter have to spend the Chinese New Year together. This is non-negotiable.

Therefore, Yan Xin's invitation sounds wonderful, but it is unlikely to come true.

But she didn't express her inner thoughts, which would have ruined the atmosphere a bit.

While driving, she also asked Yan Xin what gift he had brought for his father when he went back this time.

Yan Xin scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I'm not prepared! If you give him a gift, he might be unhappy when he sees it and thinks it's a waste of money. It's better to give him more money."

Ellie shook her head: "You can't say that. If you buy a gift, your dad might criticize you when he sees it, but he will still be happy if you have that heart."

Yan Xin really didn't understand this very well. He had never given a gift to his father in his previous life.

Even though he later realized how good his father was to him, he never thought of giving him a gift because he felt that there was no need for the family to be divided like that.

Now that I hear what Ellie said, I think it makes sense.

Said: "Then how about I buy some gifts for him when I get to our county, and tell him that I brought them over here."

Ai Lili gave him a funny look and said, "You men are so careless."

Then he said: "Did you see something in my trunk when you were putting the backpack away?"

Yan Xin nodded: "I saw it."

When he put his backpack away, he did see a few shopping bags in the trunk, and they looked like bird's nest nutritional products.

The manufacturing company is a local company in Xiaorong Town. The last time he went to the refrigerator factory in Rongli to buy processed refrigerators, he saw that company.

Ai Lili said: "There are some nutritional supplements in there. They were given to my mother by others. My mother can't eat so much. If you ask me to give them away, just take them and give them to your dad. If he doesn't eat them himself, take them."

It’s also a way of saving face when you go out to see someone off.”

"Thank you Sister Lili. Sister Lili, you are so kind to me." Yan Xin said.

Ai Lili smiled and said, "You know I'm good to you, so you just have to be more serious about your work in the future."

"Sister Lili, don't worry," Yan Xin said confidently, "I'm always very serious about work."

Although Ai Lili drove a Mazda, there was not much traffic jam along the way.

The total time spent in traffic jams on the road is only a little more than half an hour.

During this peak period of the return wave, it is already rare to be stuck in a traffic jam for so long.

Yan Xin had some hindsight and said, "If Sister Lili hadn't sent me here, I might not have been able to catch today's train."

Ai Lili corrected him: "I'm not here to give you a gift, I'm just here to buy New Year's goods and take you on a ride."

He was sent to the train station gate, and when he got off the bus, he picked up some nutritional supplements and some snacks and fruits from the trunk for Yan Xin to take away.

While carrying things for him, he warned:

"Be careful on the road. During the Chinese New Year, there are many people going home, and there are also many bad people."

"If you encounter someone who robs you, don't force yourself to do it. It's okay if you lose your money. Anyway, you can earn it back later."

"Originally, there was wine sent by Kazuo at home. I didn't know if the wine could be brought on the train, so I didn't bring it. If your dad likes to drink, you can leave me an address and I will send you a few bottles.

You should still be able to get it before the Chinese New Year."

"When you come back to work after the Chinese New Year, remember to give me a call. I'm basically fine during the Spring Festival. If I'm free, I can come here to pick you up."

Nagging, talking non-stop.

Yan Xin was carrying a backpack, and both hands were free. One hand was carrying three nutritional products, and the other hand was carrying a bag, which contained food for him on the road, such as braised eggs, chicken legs, beef and other things.

There are also drinks and fruits.

There was no more stuff to put in, so I closed the trunk and stood there and said a few words to him.

He didn't say anything, but there was reluctance in his eyes.

Ever since his mother died of illness, no one has ever nagged Yan Xin like this from the previous life to this life.

Yan Xin didn't feel bored, he just felt warm in his heart. He was carrying a backpack and holding things in both hands, just listening to her words.

It wasn't until Ai Lili couldn't speak any more words that Yan Xin said with a smile: "Sister Lili, I'm leaving then."

"Well, have a nice trip," Ellie said.

"Thank you!" Yan Xin said, "Sister Lili, you have a good journey."

Turning around, I didn't take two steps when I heard Ellie call again: "Wait a minute."

Yan Xin stopped and looked back: "Sister Lili, is there anything else?"

Ai Lili walked two steps over, her face turned a little red, and she said:

"I heard... friends always hug each other when they say goodbye. Are we friends?"

Yan Xin put down what he was holding and said, "They must be friends!"

Then he opened his arms and hugged Ellie.

The hug lasted for more than ten seconds before Yan Xin let go, then picked up the things he had just put on the ground and walked towards the station entrance.

After walking for more than ten steps, I heard Ellie shouting loudly from behind:

"Yan Xin, remember to call me when you get home!"

Yan Xin turned around and saw Aili still standing where they had just hugged.

With a smile on his face, he replied loudly: "I know! Sister Lily, remember to tell me that you are safe when you get home!"
