On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the villa was very lively. At six o'clock in the afternoon, after the food was prepared, the whole family began to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After having a New Year's dinner in the compound, there is always one thing on the table - hot pot. All kinds of meatballs, meat, and mushrooms are churning in the pot, and the aroma of food is blowing in the face. The other dishes on the table are also full of color, flavor and flavor, and everyone adds raw meat and vegetables to the hot pot while not forgetting to taste other foods.

Shang Yiqi's parents are so spicy, Shang Yiqi can eat a little, as for another heavyweight at the dinner table at this time, Shang Yiqi's sister, Gu Xiyan's sister-in-law - Shang Yarou, that is even more spicy!

It was cold outside the villa, the heating was turned on inside, and with the hot food on the table, the faces of the people at the table were red. Seeing everyone feasting happily, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but think that many years ago, she couldn't touch any spicy foam. Since when did everything slowly change?

What I didn't like before, now I'm gradually accepting it. I used to like light things, but now I can't eat them.

"Grandpa's, grandma's, aunt's, daddy's...... And Mommy's. An extra piece of beef came out of the bowl, Gu Xiyan raised her head, and saw that the little girl was smiling brightly.

"Yan'er is so good." The little girl's grandmother gave the little girl a small handful of meat as a reward.

"Yes, Yan'er, look how good grandma is to you!" There was a hint of vinegar in Shang Yarou's words.

The little girl's grandmother couldn't help but be happy when she heard it: "Okay, Xiaoya, what kind of vinegar do you eat with Yan'er?" Didn't you see that Yan'er also clipped something for you? ”

"Yes, come, baby, my aunt will reward you with one." After peeling off a few shrimps, Shang Yarou handed them to the little girl.

"Thank you, auntie." The little girl has a sweet mouth, and she is pleasing to go to any person at home.

Shang Yarou ate a few pieces of mutton stained with chili sauce by herself, her eyes swept to Gu Xiyan, she pondered left and right for a while, and suddenly pretended to be subtle: "Xiaoyan, is it okay for my sister to ask you a question?" ”

Shang Yiqi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, it is not the nature of the old lady to beat around the bush!

Gu Xiyan was a little flattered, so she hurriedly responded: "Sister, you can say it, I know as much as I can." ”

"Hey, hey." After taking another bite of food, Shang Yarou looked at her younger brother and then at Gu Xiyan, her voice was deliberately lowered, but her voice was amazing: "Xiaoyan, Xiao Qi has grown up in the army since he was a child, I said, his physical strength is not bad, right?" ”

Winked ambiguously at the two of them, Shang Yarou's eyes were full of curiosity.

Xu is dinner table was too hot, Gu Xiyan's face turned a little red when she heard her sister-in-law's question, she lowered her head, and Gu Xiyan didn't dare to speak anymore.

Shang Yiqi didn't mean to save the scene, Shang Yarou's scrutiny, wasn't she really right? Touching her chin with her right hand, she nodded suddenly: "Xiaoyan, this won't work, I decided, your little body has to be practiced." After the New Year, I went to the army with my sister to have fun. Xiaoqi, borrow your daughter-in-law for a while, no opinion, right? ”

Shang Yarou's voice was not small, the little girl and her grandparents didn't pay much attention to the situation here, and when Shang Yarou shouted, the three of them were all attracted.

"Xiaoya, what are you talking about?" The little girl's grandmother was the first to ask.

"Hey, Mrs. Political Commissar, I'll talk to your daughter-in-law, don't worry about it!" Shang Yarou turned around slightly and talked to her mother.

"Why did I hear you say that you want to take Xiaoyan to the army?" The political commissar's wife was obviously not very satisfied with Shang Yarou's words.

"It's time to practice." Shang Yarou was still waiting to reply, but unexpectedly, Shang Baike spoke.

Gu Xiyan heard the public mouth, and held the chopsticks for a moment. looked at Shang Yiqi, but saw that he was smiling silently. After glaring at Shang Yiqi, Gu Xiyan turned around and said obediently: "Got it, Dad." ”

Shang Yarou was happy to see it, and secretly thought in her heart that it was extraordinary for the veteran to come out.

A Chinese New Year's Eve dinner lasted for an hour, and after the big guys ate and drank enough, Gu Xiyan and Shang Yarou took the initiative to ask Ying to clean up the dinner table, and the others went to find their own fun.

In the kitchen, Shang Yarou rubbed the corners of her eyes and put on a pitiful and flattering look: "Xiaoyan, don't you hold a grudge against your sister?" ”

"Sister, you think too much, how can you be?" Gu Xiyan smiled slightly. Gu Xiyan still knows a little about her sister-in-law.

Shang Yarou's name sounds soft and gentle, but who knew that such a woman with a simple and delicate face was the commander of the Beijing Armed Police Special Police Force Corps? Because of years of training, Shang Yarou's skin is a healthy bronzer, and because she runs at the forefront every time there is a task or danger, the female soldiers in the army nicknamed her "Desperate First Sister".

"Xiaoyan, tell me, you and Xiaoqi are on good terms now, to what extent?" Rinsing the plate in her hand again, Shang Yarou continued to ask.

Gu Xiyan had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears on the topic of Shang Yarou's meat and vegetarian taboos, and hurriedly put the washed dishes away, and she also ran away: "Sister, I'll go see what Yan'er is doing first, and you can go out quickly." ”

As soon as Gu Xiyan left, Shang Yarou's eyes narrowed - heh, Xiao Qi's daughter-in-law is really shy, unlike those sisters in the army who go straight to the fore. However, Xiaoyan and Xiaoqi are shy and introverted, and they are a perfect match in personality.

Two years ago, at this time, most of the big guys gathered in front of the TV to wait for the Spring Festival program to start, but this year, because the little girl wanted to go outside to watch the fireworks, Shang Yiqi took the little girl and Gu Xiyan to walk around the villa together.

"Brother." When the three of them walked to another villa, a surprised voice suddenly sounded.

Gu Xiyan turned her head to look and saw a man in a big windbreaker running over in the snow.

The man stood still in front of Shang Yiqi and patted Shang Yiqi's shoulder vigorously, Gu Xiyan only heard him say: "Brother, we haven't seen each other for many years, just now I almost thought I recognized the wrong person." Uh, who is this? Seeing Gu Xiyan, he was surprised.

"Your sister-in-law." Shang Yiqi's expression was flat, and he didn't have the passionate and joyful attitude on the man's face, only the flash of ups and downs in his eyes revealed his joy.

"Oh, sister-in-law, brother, are you married? I didn't expect to see you for a few years, brother, you are very fast! Hello sister-in-law, I'm Xue Fuxun, you can just call me Xunzi like my brother. "The man is familiar.

Gu Xiyan saw that Shang Yiqi had no objection, so she shouted: "Xunzi." ”

"Uncle, and me!" The little girl was unwilling to be ignored, crossed her waist, and her two little braids were swinging, which was simple and cute.

"Hey, you're ...... Xiao Yan'er, is it Xiao Yan'er? The man's voice fell suddenly.

"Yes, I'm Yan'er, uncle, why don't you seem to be happy?" The little girl was puzzled, and her pink lips pouted slightly.

"How so? Uncle is delighted! Yan'er is so old, so good! With a flick of the little girl's forehead, the man beckoned the three of them to sit in the room.

At night, she took a hot bath again, and as soon as her spirit relaxed, Gu Xiyan actually fell asleep in the bathtub. Shang Yiqi didn't wait for Gu Xiyan to come out for a long time, then he went to open the bathroom key to open the door.

When Shang Yiqi picked up Gu Xiyan, the water in the bathtub was already cold. Fortunately, Gu Xiyan turned on the heating as soon as she entered the room, and it was not cold indoors at this time.

Shang Yiqi went downstairs to chat with his family for a while after taking a shower, and when Shang Baike asked, "Xiaoqi, when are you going back to the army", Shang Yiqi was silent.

"Dad, don't rush Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is not good now, he has a job and a house." Seeing that Shang Yiqi didn't speak for a long time, Shang Yarou hurriedly came out to play a round.

"Xiao Qi, don't forget that your military status is still there. Do you remember that you said that you wanted to be a special forces soldier since you were a child, and you have been on the run for five years, how many more years do you want to avoid? I'll put it here today, you haven't been back to the team for five years, if you don't return to the team after the year, then don't blame me for your military status, don't forget what the mission of a soldier is. ”

After Shang Baike left, Shang Yarou also had a headache: "Xiao Qi, so many years have passed, I don't blame you for that incident back then, don't take things on yourself all the time." If Lin Jingshu knew something, he would definitely not want you to give up the opportunity to be a soldier because of this, you think about it yourself, if you really can't figure it out, you will hug your wife to keep warm, and you may not know when you will open up. ”

When he returned to the room, Shang Yiqi stood with his back against the door for a long time. Gu Xiyan woke up dimly, and at a glance saw Shang Yiqi, who was holding his head with both hands in a painful gesture.

didn't think much about it, Gu Xiyan lifted the quilt and got up and ran to Shang Yiqi's side.

"Qi, Qi ......" Gu Xiyan shook Shang Yiqi's hand, trying to wake him up from the nightmare.

"Cherish ......" The corners of her forehead were drenched in cold sweat, and when Shang Yiqi opened her eyes, Gu Xiyan saw fragility in this man's eyes for the first time.

"It's okay." She hugged him and soothed his emotions.

"Pity, that's all, don't leave." With his head buried in her neck, Shang Yiqi's words were full of tiredness.

"Okay, don't leave......" Gu Xiyan patted his back, as if coaxing an injured child.
