Jiang Xuefang often goes to Xiao Yuanhang and has the key to the house in her hand. However, she contacts Xiao Yuanhang before going there. She also knows that there are people living there in Xiao Yuanhang, for fear that Xiao Yuanhang will be inconvenient, and they are also afraid that Xiao Yuanhang will be caught by others. They will contact them and then act after confirmation. Today is New Year's Eve, and it doesn't matter if she is alone at home. She wanted to call Xiao Yuanhang after coming back, but she didn't expect to meet him on the platform, so she hinted that Xiao Yuanhang would go to the city to celebrate the New Year. Seeing so many leaders at the station surrounded Xiao Yuanhang, she was afraid that others would see something. After seeing Xiao Yuanhang knowing it, she hurried away.

After Xiao Yuanhang led everyone to the passenger workshop to visit and condolences, everyone returned to the station office building. At this time, the people arranged in the office had already hung up firecrackers, and the fireworks were all placed on the platform. Everyone was already in their place. Just wait for Xiao Yuanhang to give the order and start setting off firecrackers.

Xiao Yuanhang looked at the watch and at 9:50, he said, "Director Yang, please let everyone go into the house to warm up first, and we will put it on time at 10 o'clock."

The station is set at 10 o'clock, and each workshop is set at around 11 o'clock. The time interval is just right. Even if it is set at 9:50, everyone will say that it is set at 9:00. Obviously, it is a bit early. Some people will say that the station leaders are anxious to go home for the New Year and set off firecrackers early. Xiao Yuanhang thinks that it is not bad for these 10 minutes.

Xiao Yuanhang's words were just an order. Yang Yi hurriedly called the people who set off firecrackers to enter the house to warm up for a while, and then came out to set off firecrackers later. Xiao Yuanhang waited into the office building and found a room on the first floor. Everyone sat down to smoke a cigarette and chatted for a while. The 10 minutes arrived in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the time was up, Xiao Yuanhang invited everyone to the office building and said to the office director Yang Yiran: "Director Yang, it's 10 o'clock. Let's start putting it on now!"

Yang Yi waved his hand to the person who was about to set off firecrackers and said, "Zhang Xiaolin, let's light the fire!"

Zhang Xiaolin, who had already prepared there, took the lit cigarette under the hung firecrackers, lit the leads of the firecrackers with a cigarette butt, and ran to the side like a flying. The firecrackers suddenly rang out loud. This year, Yang Yi bought 100,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan. The small sounds were all electric cannons as thick as chopsticks. And 1,000 yuan was a thunder thunder, with a very clear sound.

At the same time, other people held the "second kick" with their hands and put them up. In order to prevent the "second kick" from accidentally hurting their fingers, the people who put the "second kick" were all wearing cotton gloves. This year's "second kick" Yang Yi also bought the thickest and largest one. The person who set off the set was wearing cotton gloves and pinched the upper part of the "second kick" and ignited the lead below with the other hand. After the first sound came down, he flew high into the sky, and the second sound exploded in the air.

Most fireworks are colored beads and spit balls. There was no simple fireworks in this era. Developing fireworks requires a special cannon barrel, which cannot be set off by non-professional personnel. Therefore, although many fireworks are bought, the effect of setting off is much worse.

After the firecrackers were set off, Xiao Yuanhang paid homage to everyone in his early years. Then the deputy stationmaster and the directors of each workshop returned to their own workshops. Xiao Yuanhang sent Yang Yi and others home for the New Year, and then left the station to drive back to his parents' home.

As soon as Xiao Yuanhang entered the room, his sister Xiao Dongmei stepped forward to take the bag from his hand and said excitedly: "Brother, you are finally back. The dumplings have been made long ago, and I'm waiting for you to come back to cook dumplings."

Xiao Yuanhang smiled and said, "Sister, I'll hurry up and go home. It's on duty tonight. I have to go back before midnight." He wanted to rush over to spend the New Year with Jiang Xuefang before midnight, so he could only say that.

Xiao Dongmei said: "I know. Your railway is just this annoying. When it comes to the Chinese New Year and the holidays, everyone will rest. Instead, you have become the busiest, and the dishes are ready. Just wait for you to come back and cook dumplings. Don't worry, it won't delay you."

The mother Bai Shuxian walked out of the big house and said to Xiao Yuanhang: "Son, go into the house to watch the Spring Festival Gala for a while, I'll cook dumplings for you now!"

Xiao Dongmei also followed Bai Shuxian and said, "Brother, go into the house to watch TV first, and I will help mom cook dumplings."

In the room, his father Xiao Qiliang and his brother-in-law were sitting on the sofa watching TV. When they saw Xiao Yuanhang come back, they hurriedly asked him to sit down and watch TV. His brother-in-law had officially received the red-headed cadre order to guide the driver before the Spring Festival. He knew in his heart that if he had not been his brother-in-law, he would still be an ordinary train driver and would not even be the driver of the chartered train team. His wife was promoted from an ordinary worker to the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee. He just got the news that he would be the director of the office in Tiedong Street after the New Year. This was all due to this brother-in-law. Therefore, he became more polite to Xiao Yuanhang.

Xiao Yuanhang sat down and watched the Spring Festival Gala program while chatting with his father and brother-in-law. Not long after, he heard Bai Shuxian in the kitchen shouting: "Son, the dumplings are about to be out of the pot. You and your brother-in-law go and set off the firecrackers, and then let's have a meal."

At this time, the sound of firecrackers outside had been connected. Although it was not the most concentrated time for each household, there were many people setting off. In fact, after ten o'clock, some people began to set off firecrackers that were gathered on New Year's Eve. The sound of firecrackers will last until after midnight. It is not too early to set off firecrackers at this time.

Xiao Yuanhang and his brother-in-law took firecrackers downstairs to set off. When they returned to the upper floor, the dumplings were out of the pot and steamed to the table. At the same time, the dishes hot in the pot were also served. The whole family surrounded the dining table and watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating the New Year's Eve dinner together.

At Xiao Yuanhang's suggestion, her father Xiao Qiliang opened a bottle of Maotai for 20 years, and each of the five members of the family poured a glass. Even Bai Shuxian, who had never drunk white wine, drank a glass and asked Xiao Yuanhang to pour a glass. As for her father Xiao Qiliang, she did not limit her alcohol capacity tonight. After two glasses of a 7-yuan wine glass, she poured another glass for her husband.

Now Xiao Qiliang is satisfied and has no longer lost the loss of giving up his cadre status and retirement early. Seeing that the family is thriving and has great potential, I feel very happy. My son became the stationmaster of the marshal at the age of 24, and his daughter is about to serve as the director of the Tiedong Street Office. His wife is also from an ordinary custodian of a machinery factory to take the position of vice chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions. His son-in-law has also solved the status of a cadre. The family of five is a cadre, and the future of development is also very bright, which makes him have nothing to regret in his life.

Xiao Yuanhang raised his glass of wine and said with a smile: "Dad, mom, sister, brother-in-law, I wish you a glass of wine. I wish my father's health to become healthier and healthy. I wish my mother always young and beautiful. I wish my sister and brother-in-law step by step, a prosperous career and a bright future. Let's have a drink for our family!" (To be continued)r655
