Chapter 65: Finally Back
The hustle and bustle of the year is to have a celebratory New Year, say goodbye to the old days and usher in the new year. Every house in the village has put up a big red pair, and those who are slightly better will also buy two big red lanterns to hang at the door to light the way in front of the door.
There were two lanterns hanging at the gate of Xin Ran's house, which were given by Uncle Sun a year ago, and she took two to Aunt Zhao.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here starts in the early afternoon. I worshipped my ancestors first, and I invited my ancestors. It's the family's turn to eat.
Slowly, the dishes on the two tables, chicken, duck and fish, as well as the squid and sea cucumber sent by Yi Pinxuan, the three chefs are in charge, and there is nothing to say about the deliciousness.
"Mother, you have worked hard this year, and your daughter has made you worry. You can rest assured that our days will get better and better, and you will only need to enjoy your old age in peace. Xin Ran stood up and gave Aunt Xin a glass first.
"Xiao Ran, my mother is happy, happy. The daughter is so promising, let her mother live in a big house and live a good life, my mother is really comforted. But my mother has only one requirement, that is, you must be happy, don't live for the sake of life, just live what you want to do, your mother is not old, and she can take care of herself. Aunt Xin couldn't go on, it was her blessing to have Xiao Ran's daughter.
"Mother, don't worry, I know." It's a good life, she likes it.
"Mother, Guo'er wishes you a happy new year and a happy day." Xin Guo took her sister's special juice and said to Aunt Xin.
After finishing speaking, he said to Xin Ran, "Sister, it's getting more and more beautiful." ”
"Hahaha, Guo'er, your mouth is so sweet, my mother will give you a big red envelope later." Xin Ran said with a smile.
Daddy Li and they toasted Xin Ran and Aunt Xin together, if they hadn't met the girl and Mrs., how could they have their current life, eat well, live well, and won't work hard.
Although she was a servant and a maidservant, the girl never beat or scolded them or belittled them. Here, they are like family.
"Everyone's mouths are so sweet, I'm going to make a big red envelope later." She said happily.
"Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables, eat and everyone go out to play." Aunt Xin urged, the dishes will be cold after a while in this weather, and some of them are frozen.
There are many vegetables, but there are few meals, and when they are almost full, they all stop chopsticks.
Xin Guo jumped back to the house and took out two small lanterns, one for him and one for Songzi.
"Sister, I'm playing with Matsuko in the yard." Xin Guo said hello and went out with pine nuts. There are also big lanterns lit in the courtyard, which are red.
"Guo'er, don't run away, let's go to Aunt Zhao's house and give her a New Year's greeting." The little ones are playing crazy and yelling in the yard.
The three of them went out together, and the kitchen was left to Mama Fang and Gui Fang to clean up.
"Mother, it's so lively, every door is open." Every house was filled with laughter, and the sound came directly from the courtyard.
"Hehe, yes, it's been a busy year, and it's finally over, can you not be happy." Aunt Xin seems to have an understanding.
"Auntie, auntie, Guo'er is here to greet you for the New Year." Xin Guo shouted at the top of his voice before he could enter the door. "Hehe, you're here. I just cleaned up. Xia Wanru walked out of the kitchen.
Although she ate alone today, she still made six big dishes, which means six or six Shun. "Sister Ru, I wish you good health and all the best." Aunt Xin is younger, so she will give Xia Wan a New Year's greeting first. Then Xin Ran and Xin Guo came to pay New Year's greetings.
Both of them got a big red envelope. "Sister Ru, Xiao Ran is so old, what are you doing with her red envelopes?" It's not easy for her to make some money, don't break the bank like this.
"What's this, I'm happy, if Xiao Ran doesn't dislike it, call me Aunt Ru." Xia Wanru said with a smile.
"Aunt Ru."
"Aunt Ru."
Xin Ran and Xin Guo shouted together. In her heart, she has long regarded Xia Wanru as a relative, and it is the same to change her name.
"Good girl, take this, my aunt gave it to you." Xia Wanru took out two things from the room, a hosta and a pocket abacus, both of which were jade.
"Auntie, this is so valuable, we can't take it." Look at the workmanship is good, it must have cost a lot of money.
"Take it, I bought it for the two of you, good boy, my aunt is happy." Xia Wanru didn't allow her to refuse, I was willing to buy it, what are you not good to take.
"Thank you, Aunt Ru. Guo'er and I will also be filial to you in the future. "I just looked like a relative, but now I am a relative.
Who in this world would be nice to you for no reason? There is no one but relatives.
In the room, warm words wandered in the air and reached everyone's heart. And outside the house, on the galloping road, who is there?
Maybe a distant relative, I'm coming back.
"Master Cheng, we won't go back with you." On the official road outside the town, Mingyue reined in her horse and said to Zhao Mingcheng. "Let's go back together and leave again for the New Year." It's this time, and the restaurants and inns are closed.
"No, you and the old lady have a good New Year, and we will go to you when the time comes." Mingyue knows a little about him, and it's not appropriate to go at this time.
"Okay, find a good place to contact me, my home is in Baicun, just ask."
Bidding farewell to the bright moon and flowing water, Zhao Mingcheng clamped the horse's belly and hurried back. For more than a month, they didn't stop at all, and they only arrived here today.
He shook his groggy head and accelerated in the cold wind. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he pulled the rope and slowed down, how many years? He had never been so nervous. Is my mother's body good? Will my mother be angry? All the emotions rushed to my mind in an instant.
Stopping him in his footsteps, a sentence suddenly appeared in his consciousness, "Child, I'm waiting for you." ”
Daigo empowerment, his mother is waiting for him!!
When he arrived at the door of the house, the courtyard door was open, and he went in from the door, looking at the swaying figure vaguely, Zhao Mingcheng left the horse in the courtyard and pushed the door open.
"He ......" chatted and talked about his son, but before the words fell, a living person stood in front of him, and Xia Wan was stunned. Is this her son? This is her son. It's her son!
"Mother, Cheng'er is back." Zhao Mingcheng knelt in front of Xia Wanru. Eight years, eight whole years! It's that he's not filial.
"Cheng'er, are you back?" Xia Wanru couldn't believe it, and thought about it, her son, who had been thinking about it for so many years, appeared like this.
Zhao Mingcheng saw his mother's fear, knelt down, grabbed her hand and put it on his face, and the cold touch woke Xia Wanru up.
"Cheng'er, woo, you ruthless child, don't want a mother, don't you?" Her child is back, Cheng'er is back, husband, have you seen it?
Xin Ran didn't make a sound on the side, just now she heard the movement in the courtyard, and thought it was who came to pay a visit, but she didn't expect it to be the son of Aunt Ru who hadn't seen her for many years, it was really surprising, looking at his dusty appearance, he was also in a hurry to come back.
