Grandpa He coaxed in a low voice: Baby, be good!

Chapter 240: New Year's Eve + New Year's Holiday

The He family’s old house was particularly deserted on New Year’s Eve this year.

"Old man, this year it's just the two of us to celebrate New Year's Eve." Grandma He felt very sad. She missed her family more during every festive season, and she missed her deceased son even more.

"Yeah! I wonder if Xiao Ting and Xiao Mai can come back?" Grandpa He is looking forward to his grandchildren coming! But he can't disturb them, after all, they are young and too busy with work.

"I think it's bad enough. It's getting dark. Let's eat!" Grandma He also missed her grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law, but when she saw the sky, she had to accept reality!

"Let's go and eat!" So the old couple supported each other and walked towards the dining room. Uncle Chen had already prepared the food. Today was New Year's Eve, so no matter how many people were eating, the food had to be sumptuous!

Just as the old couple sat down on the chairs, Xiaomai's sweet voice came in: "Grandma, Grandpa, we are here, did you bring any food for us?"

When the old couple heard this, they were immediately delighted. Grandma He said quickly, "I brought it, I brought it. Come in quickly. You must be hungry!"

When Xiaomai and He Lingting heard their grandmother's reply, they went straight into the restaurant. "Wow, this is really a portion for us, it's so sumptuous!"

"Old Chen, quickly get bowls and chopsticks for the two children. They must be hungry!" said Grandpa He.

"Uncle and I will wash our hands first."

After washing their hands, they sat at the dining table and started eating. The two old people were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Looking at the two children, they felt so happy!

"Granddaughter-in-law, eat more. You are too thin." Grandma He kept picking up food for Xiaomai.

"Grandma, you eat too!" Xiaomai said as he picked up some dishes for his grandma.

The four generations of grandparents and grandchildren had dinner happily.

After dinner, the four of them sat around the sofa and started chatting. "Xiaomi! How are you planning to spend the Spring Festival? Are you going back to your parents' house?" Grandpa He asked seemingly indifferently, but in fact they were very afraid of being alone.

"If we don't go back, they will all come over, and we can all celebrate the New Year together, okay?"

"Really? That's great, the old man and I won't be alone anymore." Grandma He said happily.

"Really, grandma, how can uncle and I bear to let you and grandpa be alone? We can't visit you often, but we will definitely come during the holidays, or take you over. You are the closest people to uncle, and we are always there for you."

"Good children, grandma is so lucky to have you!" Grandma He was really touched. This granddaughter-in-law was so considerate.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'll get you some delicious food, but you can't eat too much!" Xiaomai mysteriously gave each of them a small piece of candy and put it in their mouths.

"Yes, it's stove candy. I haven't eaten it for many years." The old man smacked his lips, feeling sweet in his heart.

"Yes! I haven't eaten candy since my son passed away." Grandma He said with emotion.

"Grandma, it's all over. Life will be sweet from now on. If mom and dad knew about this, they wouldn't want you to be sad all the time." Xiaomai advised her grandmother.

"Okay, listen to Xiaomai."

That night, Xiaomai and the uncle stayed directly in the old house. Xiaomai really couldn't bear to let her grandparents celebrate the holiday alone.

In the evening, Xiaomai chatted with grandma, while He Lingting played chess and drank tea with grandpa. Only when the two elders were too sleepy to fall asleep did Xiaomai and He Lingting go back to their room to sleep.

The next morning, Xiaomai and He Lingting got up early, packed up, had some breakfast and went to work.

The two of them decided on a whim to go to the old house to celebrate the New Year's Eve last night, so they didn't prepare any clothes. Fortunately, they had pajamas and home clothes in their room in the old house.

He Lingting called Asan and asked him to go to the villa and bring their bags to the company.

He Lingting and Xiaomai went directly to the company, and Xiaomai walked into the office empty-handed.

"Xiaomi, why didn't you bring your bag today?" Jiang Nannan asked curiously.

"Oh! I didn't go home last night, so my bag is at home."

"Ah! You don't come home at night, does your man let you?" Jiang Nannan seemed to have discovered a new continent. What a brave little girl!

"What are you thinking about? I went back to the old house with him to spend the New Year's Eve with my grandparents." Xiaomai knocked on Jiang Nannan's head and said, "You have a dirty mind."

"Who has dirty thoughts?" Zhang Pengfei heard Xiaomai's words as soon as he came in.

"Your wife." Xiaomai said directly.

"Hmm?" Zhang Pengfei turned to look at Jiang Nannan inquiringly. Jiang Nannan's face suddenly turned red. "Don't listen to Xiaomai's nonsense. I was just joking."

"I told you, my wife has such a simple mind!"

"Yes, your wife is the best, okay!"

"Absolutely."

As the three were arguing, Director Wang walked in and said, "Xiaomi, the president asked me to give this to you." Director Wang handed over Xiaomai's bag.

"Thank you for delivering it so quickly!" Xiaomai said as she took the bag.

After Director Wang handed the bag to Xiaomai, he did not leave. Instead, he clapped his hands and said, "I have something to tell you! Our company will be on holiday starting this Wednesday, and will last until the ninth day of the first lunar month. We will officially go back to work on the tenth day."

As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, the office was in an uproar. "Really? Did I hear it right? This year's annual leave is quite long!"

"Yes! Is it paid leave?"

"Of course it is. Our company has never deducted salaries during holidays. There is no need to worry about this." said an old employee.

"That's good. I can go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year this year. I haven't been back for several years. I'm quite excited just thinking about it."

"Everyone, please be quiet! Although we are about to have a holiday, these few days are the finishing work before the New Year. It is very important, so everyone still has to work hard!" said Director Wang.

"Don't worry, Director. For the sake of our extra-long annual vacation, we have to do these tasks carefully."

"That's good, let's get to work! I have to be busy too." After saying this, Director Wang went out to get busy.

Then the office entered into work mode.

During lunch break, Xiaomai went to He Lingting's office as usual. He Lingting had already prepared food for the little girl.

Xiaomai asked while eating lunch: "Uncle, does the company always close for holiday so early?"

"No, this year is special. Grandma and my parents are coming on Thursday. Don't you want to accompany them?"

"How did you know? So you were taking your annual leave early for me! What a huge loss that would be, and I have to take a paid leave." Xiaomai felt that the uncle was too impulsive. How much money would the entire company have to lose, this spendthrift old man.

"What should I do? The company's order has been passed down. How about I recall it and make some changes?" He Lingting said worriedly. This little girl started to save money for herself.

"Please don't. Everyone knows about this now. We can't let everyone get away with it!"

"OK then!"

In this way, He Lingting did not hesitate to give his employees early holidays so that the little girl could accompany his family.
