Chapter 29: Returning Home for the New Year (7)

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, breakfast was much earlier than the previous two days, and after the meal, Gu's mother Xu Xiuqing took the four boxes of gifts prepared in advance to Chaoying and Gu Weidong, and asked them to go back to their parents' house to pay New Year's greetings.

"You two come early, I've prepared something to be a little bit of a heart, and you can take it together later." If your mother-in-law wants you to stay at home for two more days, you two will stay, and Chaoying has not returned to her parents' house for more than half a year, so you can accompany her to stay at home for two more days, and let Chaoying and her family be more affectionate," Gu's mother said.

"Mom, don't worry. ”

"Mom, let's go" After Gu's mother's explanation and nagging, Chaoying and his wife set off with the New Year's gift prepared for the Chen family.

The Chen family lives in a small town twelve miles away from the county seat, the traffic is not very convenient at this time, and there are no cars after the year, Chaoying and Gu Weidong gave up the idea of riding a bicycle home and chose to walk.

Along the way, Chaoying briefly told Gu Weidong about his family's situation.

Chaoying's parents, Chen Hai and Liu Guiqin, are doctors in the town health center, and they are not busy with work. There are three children in the family, Chaoying is the eldest, and the second is also a girl named Chen Chaomei, who is nineteen years old this year and is still studying at secondary school. The meaning of the names of the two daughters is to catch up with the United States, which also expresses the ardent hope of the Chen parents for their children and the country. The youngest son of the Chen family is only thirteen years old this year, has just entered junior high school, and his name is Chen Ziqiang, which means self-improvement.

Although the Chen family's parents both have jobs, their wages are not high at this time. Supporting three children to study, it is still a little difficult to live on the fixed salary of the two. However, no matter how hard life is, Chen Hai always firmly believes that knowledge changes destiny, and the future construction of the country still depends on knowledgeable and literate talents, so no matter how hard the days are, he vigorously supports the children to study.

These twelve miles are not far away, but it is really tiring enough to walk, and the four boxes of gifts prepared by Gu's mother and some of the things that Chaoying brought to the family add up to not a lot, but fortunately, Gu Weidong has a lot of strength and bears most of it.

"Do you know, my parents are not easy, because of some things, I offended the daughter of the director of the education bureau, and when it was time to graduate and be assigned, all my classmates had a place, but I was pulled down. According to the memory of the original owner's previous life, Chaoying briefly told Gu Weidong about the situation at home.

"Well, I know all of that. ”

"After that, my parents begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother to get me a job, but in Yucheng, the road was blocked. Later, I met your mother through Director Liu of the town health center, and knew that you were also single, and the two families hit it off, I had a job, and you had a wife. In the end, Chaoying joked with Gu Weidong while laughing.

Regarding Chaoying's joke, Gu Weidong also showed a smile. Sometimes I have to sigh at the wonder of fate, two people who originally did not intersect, got married on a blind date by mistake. But the result is still satisfactory, at least now the two are in love, some couples who are in free love, after getting married, face firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the trivialities of life, and in the end, Lao Yan has a lot of differences.

Although he is not good at words, Gu Weidong clearly knows in his heart that the current result is the best. If this is the case, the future will be better.

After walking for almost two hours, Chaoying and Gu Weidong arrived at the door of Chen's house.

"Chen Ziqiang, finish your homework for me, if you can't finish your homework today, then your candy will be gone" The woman in the courtyard shouted hysterically, and when she entered the courtyard, she realized that it was her sister Chen Chaomei who was watching her younger brother Chen Ziqiang study.

Among the three children of the Chen family, Chaoying's temper is the worst, the previous Chaoying was vain and selfish, the good food and good clothes at home have to be picked first, and the younger brothers and sisters have to stay behind, although the younger sister Chaomei is spicy, but independent and hardworking, she has never picked in terms of food and clothing, and Chaomei, who is three years old apart from her sister, has never worn new clothes or shoes since she was a child, and she has picked up the rest of her sister to wear. But he is still optimistic and strong.

It is said that crying children have milk to eat, in order to avoid children from quarrelling, the Chen family's parents also gave more care to Chaoying, who has a pretentious personality, which makes Chen Chaoying, who still has the memory of the original owner, feel a little guilty and distressed about her sister Chaomei. and secretly made up his mind that in this life, he must be better to his sister.

Seeing Chaoying and his family entering the hospital, Chen Chaomei and Chen Ziqiang stopped chasing, because Chaomei and her sister were a little conflicted, so they said nonchalantly: "I'm back"

As the only boy in the family, Chen Ziqiang, who will not compete for favor like a girl, is happy: "Mom, my eldest sister and brother-in-law are back" and took the gift box in Gu Weidong's hand, "Brother-in-law, it's all delicious here." Hearing this brother-in-law made Gu Weidong feel refreshed and comfortable. Naturally, he was willing to answer his brother-in-law's question: "There are canned sugar cubes and malt cream", which made Chen Ziqiang take things into the house twice as fast.

"Stupid, you know how to eat, and you don't remember to eat. My sister Chaomei muttered quietly.

The Chen family's parents greeted them out, and when they saw their daughter who had been away from home for half a year coming back, Chen's mother couldn't hold back her excitement, and tears filled her eyes.

Father Chen was also excited, choked up and couldn't speak.

"Mom and Dad, why are you crying, she has worried about the family for so many years, she hasn't cried, why are you crying, there is no place for us to be sorry for her. Because I saw the picture of my father whispering and begging because of my sister Chaoying's work, and I also saw the scene of my mother secretly crying because of Chaoying, Chaomei really couldn't speak well.

"Erya, what are you talking nonsense?" Father Gu scolded.

"Weidong, let you see the joke, these two sisters have not dealt well since they were children" After speaking, Gu's father smiled awkwardly.

welcomed the younger couple into the house, and asked the youngest son to pour water and get fruit, perhaps because the daughter came back so that the old couple didn't know what to do.

"Mom and Dad, don't be busy, just sit down and talk, I'm not an outsider. Seeing the Chen family's parents facing their daughter's alienation made Chaoying feel a little heartbroken.

It is said that the daughter who marries spills the water, how can the relationship between the daughter and her parents become like this after she gets married, it seems that he has to work hard to change the thinking of his parents.

The family sat together and talked about homely things, Chaoying explained the work, life, small business, etc. to his parents in the past six months, and the old man was sometimes not interested in the story itself, but only because there were his own children in the story so he was willing to listen to it over and over again.

Seeing that her sister Chaomei never came out, Chaoying said hello to her parents and came to her and her sister's bedroom.

"Super beautiful, my sister thought a lot after she got married, I used to be ignorant, although I was the eldest sister, but I bullied you and my brother everywhere, and I never had the obligation to enter the eldest sister. My sister wants you to give me a chance. It used to be my sister, and it was wrong. Chaoying sincerely apologized to her sister.

Xu is a bystander in his previous life who watched too many people's stories, so Chaoying firmly believes that if there is a problem, the first time to apologize if there is a mistake, and the first time to explain a misunderstanding, then a lot of unnecessary troubles will be avoided.

Seeing that my sister is like this, Chaomei no longer twists, and they all say that they have started a family, it seems that getting married once has really made my sister grow a lot, Chaomei thought silently.

"Okay, I accept your apology, as for whether you forgive or not, it depends on your future performance!" said and made a playful grimace.

Through Chaoying's sincere apology, the sisters can be regarded as reconciled.
