The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year and celebrates the new year with joy.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, in a bungalow compound in Tanghu County, there are five people, five bowls of steaming hand-rolled noodles, and four small dishes in the middle, which are exquisite and simple.

The five people sat around the table, Tang Tiandong suddenly seemed to remember something, then put down his chopsticks and trotted to the side room and took out a whip and a large salute, called all four people to the door, and took out the authority of the head of the family.

"Today is our family's Chinese New Year's Eve, what is the Chinese New Year's Eve when my son is not there? So let's have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today and set off firecrackers, let's celebrate the New Year today! Mom, don't look at the excitement first, why don't you go back to the house and take out the red envelopes and give them to the children! ”

The sound of firecrackers and firecrackers is really the New Year, and it is really home for the New Year. As the eldest son, Tang Lin did not rush to set off firecrackers, because Tang Lin told the female mayor that setting off firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve every year was his father's favorite and proudest time, and the rest of the 365 days a year he was just a cleaner who would be ignored casually, but when he set off firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve to welcome the God of Wealth to eat dumplings, he was the head of the family.

The female mayor can't remember when she hid in the door of the house when she was a child and watched her father set off firecrackers for the New Year, or if she didn't have that time at all.

She snuggled up to Tang Lin like a bird, Tang Lin was the happiest at the moment, because there was a small beauty on the left and a big beauty on the right, and he simply enjoyed the blessings of all people.

The red envelope arrived immediately after the firecrackers, but Tang Lin didn't pick it up, but asked his parents to sit side by side on the chairs in front of the dining table, and then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed in a proper manner.

Dad, Mom, Happy New Year, my son is back!

Then he took the red envelope that had been prepared long ago from the female mayor's hand, knelt down and handed it over, put it into the hands of the two old men with his own hands, and specially advised, "You have lived for me for most of your life, and now that your son has grown up and become an adult, this money is for you to spend, if you are reluctant to buy it over the years, you must spend it, otherwise I will always feel guilty......"

Tang Yu was still very strong, stood up and forcibly helped his son who couldn't kneel on the ground, "Silly son, when you grow up, you don't have to kowtow like when you were a child, men have gold under their knees, you can't kneel casually, remember to take the right road outside!" ”

This is the second time she has said this to her son today, it seems that she is really old, and she always nagged this sentence over and over again, but in fact, the female mayor did not think so, which was just a manifestation of the arrogance of a broken mother. She doesn't care about her identity, and she doesn't mind children chasing after her and shouting the king of rags, she walks the right way, she is upright, there is nothing unpleasant to collect rags, she makes money by her own labor.

And Tang Tiandong, who was sitting firmly in the chair, had the opposite attitude to her, "Okay, when you kid grows up, Lao Tzu will spend you money once!" ”

The female mayor here has already taken out the third red envelope and handed it to Tang Guo, who has already turned around and dared not look at it, "Guoguo, this is given to you by your brother, your brother said that you have been reluctant to buy even a beautiful dress for so many years, let me accompany you to buy it this time, dress up beautifully, let people see how good-looking your Tang family girl is, hehe"

Tang Guo didn't refuse, just like Tang Tiandong and Tang Yu didn't refuse, no matter how much money they had in their wallets, they couldn't refuse, because this was their brother's intention.

The red envelope is not thin, the weight and thickness of the envelope are about the same as her monthly salary, at least 5,000 yuan, then three red envelopes are 10,005, but my brother's bonus and subsidy in the army are basically sent home every month, and he has not been working in Zhongzhou for a long time, even if the inspector police are treated well, but it is not so easy to save 10,005, right? What's more, my brother still has to rent a house, eat and transport.

Could it be that this money came from my sister-in-law?

But even if she has doubts, she will never say it now, but she will definitely ask later, if it is true, she will definitely help her brother return it to her sister-in-law, not that she can't accept it, but her family's current conditions are actually okay, and the money earned by the three people in the family plus the money sent back by her brother has been saved for her brother to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law in the past few years.

The sister-in-law was already very grateful if she had this heart for the first time, but she didn't want her brother to drive her sister-in-law's car from now on and spend her sister-in-law's money.

She also knew that this was not her brother's character, but this was her brother's character, and her brother, who hadn't been home for six years, suddenly changed from a falcon and a panther special forces to an inspector policeman, and she didn't dare to think about how many ups and downs she had experienced. But my brother would definitely do this when he came home for the first time in six years, even if the money was temporarily borrowed from his sister-in-law.

So she held back the tears that didn't come out just now, she couldn't see her brother so guilty, she couldn't see her brother kneeling down, he hoped that his brother wouldn't care about those, he hoped that his brother really wouldn't feel guilty anymore and didn't care about those old things anymore, because a qiē had already passed, because she had completed her bachelor's degree by self-study and even got the accounting certificate, she couldn't bear it without telling her brother, and wanted to surprise him when her brother came back, so that he would not be so burdened.

So when the people sat back down at the dinner table and started moving, she ran back to her room and took out her graduation certificate and accountant certificate.

Handing it to Tang Lin with his own hand, his little face was proud and proud, "Brother, you see, I didn't go to college but graduated earlier than others and even got my accountant qualification certificate, so I didn't give up my college dream because of you, hmph, now I know!" ”

Tang Lin couldn't believe it, he opened the graduation certificate and accounting qualification certificate, you must know that her sister didn't graduate from high school, how did she get an undergraduate degree in the self-study exam? How do you get the accountant qualification certificate that students from prestigious universities can't pass well?

He was a little confused all of a sudden, and even handed it to the female mayor in shame, "That, Huang Ying, you can see if this kid is not a fake certificate to fool me casually, right?" ”

Huang Ying didn't even look at it, just closed the certificate and put it away, and smiled faintly, "Hehe, Tang Lin, Guoguo will not lie to you even if he deceives everyone in the world!" ”

Tang Lin suddenly realized, sure enough, he was a fan of the authorities, he was suspicious of his sister's words, so he immediately excitedly hugged his sister into his arms, and kissed him several times almost out of shape, which was genuine, which made Tang Guo, who was originally generous, immediately blush, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The indiscriminate struggle, in fact, is a struggle rather than a panic into her brother's arms, because she has never resisted her brother since she was a child.

"Uh......h Brother...... No, no...... Everyone has grown up......"

"Brother, sister-in-law is there...... You, no......"

Of course, Tang Lin also realized again that his sister had really grown up, but he still couldn't get rid of the plot when he left home for a while, and a lot of things would indeed happen and change in 6 years.

None of the qiē has changed, and all of them have changed, my parents are old, and my sister has grown up......

So he quickly let go, and in order to hide the same embarrassment as his sister, he immediately lowered his head and ate noodles, "Eat noodles, eat noodles, it's cold if you don't eat it, Dad's hand-rolled noodles are delicious, better than Lao Han's, right, Huang Ying, cough cough cough ......"

But he ate too quickly and coughed violently, and the female mayor rushed over to beat him on the back, a little funny and a little distressed, "Look at you, this is in your own home, and no one is robbing you, what ......are you anxious about?"

And the female mayor's instinctive tenderness and care for Tang Lin, the other three people all looked deeply at it......
