Chapter 132: The New Year Has Arrived
It's New Year's Day and the whole of Kyoto is filled with a joyful atmosphere, especially last night's heavy snowfall has added some extra fun to this new year.
Mo Shaokun accompanied Xiao Tangguo to build a snowman in the courtyard, and Tang Yuyang, Tang Yudong, and Tang Yuje, three brothers, also rarely took action together to accompany their little sister for a while. Now, Tang Yuyang no longer has the initial hostility towards Mo Shaokun.
Tang Yuyang's attitude changed because he learned from his father Tang Jianguo that Mo Shaokun seemed to have the intention of developing in the business world. For Tang Yuyang, this was good news. Previously, wasn't he dissatisfied with Mo Shaokun because he was afraid that he would compete with him for the political resources of the old Tang family? Although the old Tang family was large and powerful, in the end, they could only nurture one person with all their might, and the rest were just accessories. Tang Yuyang did not want to be an accessory. Since Mo Shaokun had no intention of entering politics and developing his career, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
"Guo Guo, go to the kitchen and get a carrot." Mo Shaokun called out.
"Got it." Little Tang Guo was exceptionally happy today, with several brothers accompanying her to play and have fun. This is a rare occurrence.
Before long, Little Tang ran back with a carrot in his hand and handed it to Mo Shaokun. Mo Shaokun inserted the carrot into the snowman's nose position, then straightened up and clapped his hands, saying: "Well, it's finally done."
"Hehe, what a big snowman! I remember last time it was Brother Yudong who helped me build one, and that one wasn't even half as tall as this!" Little Tang clapped her hands happily.
Mo Shaokun gently stroked Xiao Tangguo's head, but his heart ached secretly. Building a snowman, how normal an activity it was for ordinary children? Yet for Xiao Tangguo, it had become a luxury.
After such a long time of getting along, Mo Shao Kun found that he was becoming more and more fond of this little sister. Perhaps just as he thought, now Xiao Tang Guo was no longer just a younger sister to him, but more like an existence similar to a daughter.
Mo Shaokun felt a pang of reluctance in his heart, thinking that he would be leaving soon. Who would accompany Xiao Tangguo to play and have fun after he left? Who would take her to the amusement park?
Even Mo Shao Kun had an urge to take Xiao Tang Guo back to Anping for school, but he knew it was impossible. Second Uncle and Second Aunt would not agree, and perhaps even Old Master would not agree to hand over Xiao Tang Guo to him, after all, in their eyes, he was still a child.
"Ah..." A snowball hit Mo Shaokun's face, and he came to his senses to see Little Tang making a triumphant face at him not far away.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Shaokun thought to himself: Forget it, don't think about it anymore. If it can make Guo Guo happy for another day, then so be it.
He immediately bent down, picked up a small snowball and threw it at Little Tang Guo, saying fiercely: "Dare to hit me? Hmph, watch out!" His mouth was shouting fiercely, but the small snowball in his hand was thrown over lightly, he couldn't bear to really hurt Little Tang Guo.
Xiao Tang dodged a snowball with a quick movement, and then stuck out her tongue at Mo Shao Kun, saying: "Clumsy brother, you can't even hit me from such a close distance, watch this!"
"Ah..." Mo Shaokun didn't dodge or evade, letting the snowball hit him right on, and even cooperated with a pained cry.
Seeing Tang Yu Yang and a few others smiling at him with some yearning in their eyes, but seemingly unable to put down their dignity to join in, Mo Shao Kun lightly laughed and threw two snowballs that hit Tang Yu Yang and Tang Yu Jie.
In this small yard that was not too big, it quickly became an ocean of joy. The elderly who were chatting in the living room also had a smile on their faces when they saw this.
How many years has it been since the old Tang family was so lively? In the past, Chinese New Year was always a routine affair, but this year everything changed with the arrival of Mo Shaokun...
In the evening, after a family dinner on New Year's Eve, they sat in front of the TV watching the evening party, while Mo Shaokun quietly slipped back into the house to make phone calls to his good friends one by one.
Da Gui, Long Yu Fei, and the six good brothers in the dormitory, even the old principal and Liu Xuanxuan did not fall behind. Although Liu Xuanxuan's attitude towards him seemed not very friendly, after all, she was a teacher, and Mo Shaokun would not go to see her about anything, doing what he should do was enough.
With the help of Mo Shao Kun, Da Gui's family finally had a good year. The Hong Tai Yang Home Service Company was formally established and several supermarkets hung up large advertisements for the company on Sundays. At first, Fang Dad and Fang Mom didn't have much confidence in this business, but who would have thought that in just over a month, they earned more money than their annual salary in previous years!
This made Father Fang feel at ease, and he quit his job decisively. On the phone, Father Fang told Mo Shaokun that Red Sun Home Service Company has a huge business volume every day, especially during this period before the Spring Festival, Mother Fang takes her sisters to do cleaning for people, from morning till night, they are busy all the time, and there are still many customers who have to be rejected due to insufficient staff.
While the moving side doesn't have a cleaning service that's as popular, there are basically things to do every day and it won't be idle. According to Fang Dad's plan, he is preparing to recruit a batch of laid-off workers after the New Year. Mo Shaokun had no objection to this, his original intention was just to help his good brother, so he wouldn't interfere with Hong Taiyang's household affairs.
Fang Daguai was very moved by what Mo Shaokun did for his family. In the phone call, this old man rarely became sentimental, but unfortunately, he didn't even last two sentences before being seen through by Mo Shaokun, and in the end, the two started bickering again on the phone.
After calling everyone, Mo Shaokun finally dialed Yin Fei's number. It wasn't that he had forgotten about Yin Fei, but rather because he valued her so much that he put this call off until last.
Yin Fei was still in Jinshan City, she told Mo Shaokun that she would return to Anping in two days and asked when Mo Shaokun would go back. Yin Fei's soft and beautiful voice made Mo Shaokun's heart itch, he almost hated not being able to fly to Yin Fei's side immediately, but he had no way to do so.
According to his itinerary, he will go to Ganzhou Province in two days. Anyway, it's the Chinese New Year and he has to visit his uncle, right? After staying there for two days, he will return directly to Anping. Actually, counting down the days, it won't be long, just seven or eight days, and the two can meet again. However, for the couple in love, these seven or eight days are hard to get through.
He and Yin Fei had a tender conversation on the phone for a long time, until the mobile phone started to overheat. Mo Shao Kun reluctantly hung up the phone.
"Brother, it's time to set off firecrackers!" Little Tang ran over and knocked on the door, shouting loudly. Mo Shaokun looked at the time and only then realized that it was already nearing dawn without him noticing.
The year 1994 passed like this, and it was too important for Mo Shaokun. He would never forget this year. This year he made up for his past regrets, this year he found his family, and also this year his business empire began to take shape.
He got up and rubbed his somewhat numb face, Mo Shaokun took firm steps to open the door and went to the courtyard with Xiao Guo and others.
He looked up at the vast night sky and silently said in his heart: 1995, I'm here!
