At this time, only Chen Gong and Lu Yao were left in the entire spacious living room, which seemed extremely deserted. Lu Yao hurriedly stood up, picked up the purple sand teapot with both hands, and refilled the teacup in front of Chen Gong with hot tea.

"No, I can't sleep at night after drinking too much tea. A-Ying told me on the phone, you have been busy with the newly developed orchard recently, and you have worked hard. Chen Gong sat on the sofa on Lu Yao's left with a tired face, and said weakly.

"This is what I should do, I don't know if it's the right thing to do, you can go up the mountain and have a look another day. Big brother, aren't you tired, why don't you go and rest first?" Lu Yao asked with concern.

"Even with a mid-flight transfer, I took a flight for more than 30 hours. After getting off the plane, I took a car ride for more than four hours, and I didn't return home until after 4 o'clock this afternoon, which was quite tiring. But I can still withstand it, my uncle didn't sleep, I have to accompany him. Chen Gong said with a smile.

At this time, Zeng Youliang and Ah Ying came out of the room, and before he could sit down, he said, "Ah Xin, Yingzi, go and rest." I'll talk to Lu Yao for a few words, and I'm going to rest too. Zeng Youliang said.

"Do you need me to send Lu Yao back to the orchard?" asked Chen Gong as he sat up straight.

"I have already arranged for Wang Hai to send it, and he is waiting outside the door. Zeng Youliang said.

"Okay, let's go rest, good night uncle! Lu Yao, it's too late, tell Wang Hai to drive slowly on the way. After Chen Gong finished speaking, he stood up and went upstairs with A-Ying.

Zeng Youliang drank a cup of hot tea, leaned back on the sofa, looked at Lu Yao with a smile and said: "Lu Yao, this is my home in Yunhai City, from now on, I hope you will treat this place as your home, and come back to see it when you have time." You have also seen that usually Yingzi and they don't come back, and the house is very deserted. Your aunt has been sick for five or six years, and she can only travel in a wheelchair. ”

Zeng Youliang paused when he said this, he cleared his throat and continued: "In the past, in order to support my family, I worked outside for a long time and did not take care of your aunt's body. By the time our days got better, her body was exhausted again. Five years ago, that is, in the year when Yingzi and Ah Xin got married, your aunt suddenly fell ill and couldn't stand. When he was sent to the hospital for examination, he was diagnosed with myelitis. Since then, your aunt has been in a wheelchair.

Over the years, in order to treat your aunt, I have traveled to all the famous big hospitals in China, even specialized hospitals in the United States, but I can't cure them. Last year, it may be that your aunt didn't want to toss anymore, and she refused to go to the hospital for treatment, so we settled down. Over the past year, we have stopped running around, but her condition has been brought under control and her spirit has improved a lot. ”

"Uncle, don't worry too much, my aunt's mental state is very good, as long as she actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment, I believe her body will get better and better. Lu Yao comforted.

"Well, I hope so! Your aunt is already like this, and I accept it. What I'm most worried about now is Yingzi and a few little granddaughters! You've been in the orchard for more than half a year, and you've seen what kind of life Yingzi is living, do you think she's really happy?" Zeng Youliang asked.

"Uncle, the relationship between the eldest sister and the eldest brother is very good, they are happy, don't worry!" Lu Yao said.

"Child, you are still young, you are also very simple, there are some situations, you can't see it now. The reason why I am telling you this tonight is because I treat you as my own family. I hope you will try to care about Eiko and her children as much as possible in the days to come. Is that okay?" asked Zeng Youliang. His voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes had darkened a little.

"Yes, uncle, don't worry, I have long been my eldest sister and my own sister, and five golden flowers are my niece. Lu Yao said sincerely.

"Lu Yao, I believe in everything you say, and I also believe that you will be able to do it. Well, it's late, so you should go back to the orchard early to rest. Originally, I wanted to keep you here, but A-Ying said that your cousin and brother were in the orchard. It's not appropriate for you not to accompany them during the Chinese New Year. Wang Hai is waiting for you outside, go ahead. Zeng Youliang stood up and said with a pleasant face.

"Thank you, uncle, you can rest early, I'm leaving!" After Lu Yao finished speaking, he bowed to Zeng Youliang and turned around and walked towards the door.

Zeng Youliang went all the way to the door of the living room, saw Lu Yao get into the Land Rover, and after leaving the compound, he walked into the living room and closed the door.

When Lu Yao returned to the orchard, it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening. It was the iron gate in the backyard that Wu Jingsheng opened for him, and Ning Hao had already fallen asleep.

After he washed up, he went back to his room lightly, did not turn on the light, and went straight to bed.

On the first day of the new year, Lu Yao, Ning Hao, and Wu Jingsheng slept until after seven o'clock before waking up. According to the custom of their hometown, they happily wrapped rice balls together.

After eating the dumplings, they loaded the pancakes baked by Lu Yao, each took a bottle of herbal tea, and went down the mountain together to play in the newly opened cultural park in Songlin District.

In the afternoon, they went to the only commercial street in Songlin District and selected two suits for Lu Yao. Ning Hao and Wu Jingsheng bought a jacket and a pair of trousers respectively.

Today is Ning Hao's birthday, and they returned to the shack in the evening and celebrated Ning Hao's birthday. They were all drunk, so they helped each other and went into the room to rest.

At eleven o'clock in the morning of the second day of the new year, Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng were cooking in the kitchen, and suddenly remembered the roar of a car engine in the backyard, and then heard the sound of the door: "Brother Lu! Are you at home? I'm Hao Dachun!

"It's coming!" Lu Yao replied loudly.

"Count your kid still have a conscience, you know to come over to pay New Year's greetings! You guys are busy, I'll go open the door for Hao Dachun!" Ning Hao walked out of the room and walked quickly to the backyard.

When Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng washed their hands and walked out of the kitchen, they saw a large group of people coming from the backyard. Hao Tianlu and Hao Dachun walked in front, followed by seven or eight men and women, old and young, and a few of them were carrying large bags and small wrappers in their hands.

Lu Yao and Wu Jingsheng hurriedly greeted them, took the gifts in their hands with Ning Hao, and after putting them in the room, they immediately took out chairs and stools and placed them in the courtyard, invited them to sit down, and then poured tea for them.

After everyone sat down, Hao Dachun stood up and happily introduced Lu Yao and them: "Brother Lu, eldest cousin, Brother Hao! This is my uncle, Brother Lu and Brother Hao already know each other." The eldest are my grandparents, these two are my parents, this is my uncle's lover, my aunt, my cousin sitting next to her, these two are my sisters. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and our whole family has come to greet you for the New Year, wishing you a happy New Year and all the best!"
