Gu's house is not far from the station, the brothers took their luggage and took their daughter-in-law to go home, and arrived at the door of the house in less than ten minutes, and the Gu family also lived in a bungalow with a big yard. Just by looking out of the gate, you can tell that the conditions at home are good.

Gu's father, Gu Guoqiang, had been waiting at the door early, his straight posture was like a pine and cypress in winter, and it could be seen that the Gu brothers had perfectly inherited Gu's father's genes. The chimney of the house behind him was still wafting with cooking smoke, full of smoke and fire.

"Dad, why are you standing outside the door on such a cold day, come into the house. ”

Gu Weidong was the first to speak and welcomed Gu's father into the house. Chaoying and Lin Ningning followed, and Gu Weiguo walked last. In such cold weather, the outside of the house is really not a place to catch up.

After entering the house, Gu's mother Xu Xiuqing and Gu's little sister Gu Changan were placing dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Seeing the four of them entering the house one after another, Gu's mother stopped what she was doing, wiped her hands on her apron, and said excitedly: "You're all back, you're tired along the way" The corners of her eyes flushed as she spoke.

Gu's father scolded in a low voice: "It's a pleasure for the child to come back, and you are not afraid of your daughters-in-law and children seeing jokes." ”

Gu's mother restrained her emotions and was a little embarrassed, the eldest son's marriage was done in the unit, and the family couldn't rush over, this was the first time the eldest daughter-in-law came to the door, and it was also the first time the family saw Lin Ningning. Although the second daughter-in-law is nearby, after getting married, she went to the army with the second son, and the time they spent together was only a few days. Now that the daughters-in-law and children are home for the New Year, I am indeed a little embarrassed to be so out of shape.

At this time, the lively and lovely little sister Gu Changan broke the embarrassment: "Big brother and second brother, quickly introduce me to the two sisters-in-law, I don't know them yet." "Gu Changan is now in high school, Chaoying and Gu Weidong got married in a hurry before, Gu Changan is in school class, and he hasn't seen Chaoying yet.

Gu Weidong doted on his little sister and took Chaoying's hand and said, "This is your second sister-in-law, Chaoying, this is the little sister Chang'an." ”

After entering the house for a long time, Chaoying hadn't said hello to the second elder, so she took the opportunity to say hello to her parents-in-law and sister-in-law.

Gu Weiguo brought Lin Ningning to his parents: "Parents, this is my daughter-in-law Lin Ningning, I didn't let my family go over when I got married in a hurry, and I didn't think it through, don't be surprised." ”

Lin Ningning naturally called his parents sweetly, coaxing the second elder of the Gu family to be happy.

"You've been on the train for a day, you've been hungry for a long time, aren't you?" Before a few people answered, they hurriedly said: "The meal has already been prepared, just wait for you to come back, come to the table, start the meal immediately" After speaking, he pulled Gu Changan to bring the food to the table, stewed chicken and fish, and there are a lot of wild mountain delicacies and pig-killing stewed vegetables unique to Province C, and oil and so on, and soon a large table was filled, which shows how much the old man values his son and daughter-in-law who have returned from afar.

Although Chaoying and Lin Ningning are the new daughters-in-law, the harmonious atmosphere of this family and the generous and reasonable attitude of the in-laws make the two new daughters-in-law less restrained and scruples.

When the family sat down, they didn't say much to each other, and they started eating with chopsticks. Gu's mother also sandwiched two big chicken legs into Chaoying and Lin Ningning's bowls, which made Gu Changan, who has always been the most favored youngest daughter in the family, complain, and said that she had fallen out of favor with her sister-in-law. Everyone had to laugh.

After the meal, Chaoying and Lin Ningning naturally did not let go of the opportunity to behave, and rushed to the kitchen with Gu's mother to pick up the table and brush the dishes and chopsticks.

After cleaning up, seeing that the atmosphere of the Gu family's father and son in the house was just right, Lin Ningning smiled and said to Gu Changan: "Although I didn't eat chicken legs, how could our Chang'an fall out of favor, in the future, my parents won't love you, and my sister-in-law will love you." Chaoying also echoed Lin Ningning, and hurriedly took out the gifts for her sister-in-law one after another. Only then did Gu Changan really realize that his sister-in-law was more intimate than his brother, and the eldest brother and the second brother never said what gifts they brought to themselves when they came back, but look at the present, the tweed coat, small leather boots, new-style woolen hat, patterned sweater and fluffy scarf and gloves, although the brothers brought them back, it was obvious that these things were prepared by the two sisters-in-law, and in the face of so many gifts, it really made the little girl happy.

After taking the sister-in-law's, Chaoying and Lin Ningning took out the ginseng they gave to Gu's father, as well as the pipes, leather hats, duck down cotton jackets, and pure cowhide cotton shoes, all of which were fresh goods imported from other places by the shopkeeper who rented before. Gu's father is currently the Minister of Armed Forces in Yucheng, and he usually wears military uniforms, but he still likes the gifts bought by his two daughters-in-law, and since his two sons have left home when they become adults, they are usually not as caring as girls, and their communication with the family has gradually decreased. I thought that when I got married and had children, the family relationship with my family would be even more alienated. But looking at the two daughters-in-law, Gu Guoqiang is really satisfied, at least if he has this filial piety to his in-laws, he can know the daughter-in-law's character and care for his son.

Chaoying and Lin Ningning brought a mink coat to Gu's mother, as well as a mink hat of the same color, the winter in Province C is colder than that in Province D, but Province D is connected to country R, where there is a lot of fur, good quality and low price, many people at the border are doing this kind of small import and export business, so Chaoying and Lin Ningning also asked someone to bring it back to Gu's mother, and now Gu's mother is wearing it to go out in this season. Unlike Gu's father's joy, the corners of Gu's mother's mouth have never been closed, and she always smiles, there is no woman who doesn't like beautiful clothes, wearing the clothes that her daughter-in-law bought for her, she feels that the whole person is young, and the little daughter's praise is full of praise, which makes Xu Xiuqing's self-confidence burst.

Gu's mother is very beautiful, and even now she is middle-aged, her charm and temperament are still very good. Xu Xiuqing is now a doctor in Yucheng Hospital, and his salary is much higher than that of ordinary workers, because there are many people in ordinary times, and his colleagues in the unit pay great attention to dressing up. However, Gu's mother is used to living a hard and simple life, and in order to save more savings for her children, she rarely buys clothes and does not compare with her colleagues.

The daughter-in-law bought herself such expensive clothes for the first time, which made Gu's mother very pleased, not because of the price, but because of the daughter-in-law's heart. The more Gu's mother looked at this mink coat, the more she liked it, and she had never seen a colleague in the unit buy such beautiful clothes.

After trying it on, I didn't forget to tell the children not to buy things for the family in the future, of course, this is a common problem of mothers all over the world, and Chaoying still understands it very well.

After the meal, it was the family's time to catch up, Gu Weiguo didn't go home for more than a year, and his parents naturally asked a lot of questions about work and life. Gu Weiguo answered one by one, and at the same time, Lin Ningning would also intersperse some small things about the lives of the two. This makes the parents-in-law who are always concerned about their son very satisfied.

When asked about Gu Weidong, the focus was naturally on Chaoying's work arrangement after joining the army and the living situation of the young couple. Gu Weidong vaguely skipped the relationship between the two in the early days, focusing on the sweet days when the two lived in harmony in the next few months.

The last family chatted until about 10 o'clock in the evening.
