Jiaojiao also smiled, he hugged herself, busy for a long time, she was also tired, only leaning on her husband's arm to take a nap, there were firecrackers outside one after another, Jiaojiao snuggled in Li Chengda's arms, listening to his heartbeat, I only felt indescribably steadfast, this is the first year they have spent together, and in the future, they will spend many, many years together, and they will never be separated for a lifetime.

For the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Jiaojiao made a table of dishes, mixed a courgette, marinated a pair of pig ears, steamed a plate of bacon, burned a carp, and fried a large plate of vegetables, the two hens sent by her mother's family a few days ago, Jiaojiao was also ruthless, stewed a large pot of fresh soup with mushrooms, thinking of making up for her father-in-law and Li Chengda.

After the meals and dumplings were served one by one, Li Chengda and Jiaojiao helped Daddy Li in the main position, and Li Chengda personally poured a glass of wine for his father, planning to accompany Daddy to have two drinks.

Looking at the steaming meal on the table, Daddy Li was full of emotion in his heart, since the death of Li Chengda's mother, he has never had a good year, when the children were young, every New Year was the most difficult time, at most it was just to cut two taels of meat to talk about the meaning, waiting for the children to grow up, and catch up with Li Chengda to go to prison, in those years he was even more lonely, it was easy to wait for his son to come out, and there was no woman in the family during the New Year, and the father and son were just dealing with a bite to eat, how could there be so fragrant, A hot meal to eat?

"Good boy, but I've worked hard for you." Father Li looked at his daughter-in-law on the side, looked at his delicate and gentle face, and felt that it was the blessing of their Li family to marry this child.

Hearing her father-in-law's praise, Jiaojiao smiled a little unexpectedly, and shook her head lightly with her father-in-law, meaning that she was not hard.

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you give your daughter-in-law a cup, don't rely on her to what you eat and wear at home?" Father Li commanded at his son.

Li Chengda listened to his father's words, and then looked at Jiaojiao in front of him, his heart was full of distress and pity, what his father said was right, since Jiaojiao married into their family, the work at home has made her cook in an orderly manner, especially in the days when he went out to run a single gang,, housework, taking care of his father, all on her, she is only sixteen years old this year, and when she was in her mother's house, she was also held in the palm of her parents' brothers and sisters, but since she married him, she has not had a good life.

Thinking of this, Li Chengda felt both ashamed and distressed, and only raised the wine glass in his hand to salute his wife, and said to her: "Jiaojiao, hard work." ”

Her delicate eyes are bright and soft. Soft, only gesturing to tell him, "You've worked hard too." ”

Li Chengda was stunned, watching Jiaojiao also pick up the wine glass in front of her, and gently touched the glass with Li Chengda, Jiaojiao had never drunk wine, the wine just got a little bit on her tongue, she just stuck out her tongue spicily, and put the wine glass down again.

Looking at Jiaojiao like this, Daddy Li and Li Chengda both smiled, this meal was only enjoyable, Daddy Li looked at the son and daughter-in-law in front of him, and felt indescribably relieved, just looking forward to having another child, and the family would be complete.

However, the delicate little waist. The body is still thin, there is no movement of pregnancy at all, Daddy Li can't help but glance at his son, although his son and daughter-in-law are still newly married, he thinks that he is indeed anxious to hold his grandson, but since Li Chengda came back, he has been pestering his daughter-in-law all day long, but there is no movement in Jiaojiao's belly.

Daddy Li was a little cranky, but seeing that Li Chengda was so able to eat, it didn't look like it, so he simply relaxed his mind, his son and daughter-in-law were still young, and Daddy Li only felt that it should not be long before there would be good news in Jiaojiao's belly.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Chengda accompanied his daughter-in-law to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the two went back to the hall and accompanied their father to keep the New Year.

There is a stove in the house, before Li Chengda entered the city to buy some chestnuts and oranges, Jiaojiao buried some chestnuts into the ashes, waiting to simmer and eat, as for the orange Jiaojiao first peeled off, handed the flesh inside to her father-in-law and husband, the peel was thrown next to the stove to bake, not long after, the air revealed a fragrance, the chestnuts made some "crackling" sound from time to time, the snow outside the house was flying, but the house was warm, Jiaojiao snuggled up to her husband, listening to Li Chengda and Daddy Li gossip there, Daddy Li told Li Chengda's childhood anecdotes, Jiaojiao only listened to it with relish, Li Chengda saw that his daughter-in-law was happy to hear it, so he never stopped it, he peeled off the orange silk on the orange petal, and sent the flesh to Jiaojiao's mouth, in front of his father, Jiaojiao was a little shy, but there was still a smile in the corner of her eyes.

The night was getting deeper, sleepiness hit, Jiaojiao slowly couldn't stay up, little by little, Li Chengda loved her very much, only held her in his arms and let her head rest on his shoulder.

"Carry Jiaojiao back to the house and sleep." Father Li looked at it and whispered a word to his son.

"Then you guarded it for us at this age?" Li Chengda also lowered his voice, worried about waking up his daughter-in-law.

"Cheng, Daddy will guard for you." Father Li nodded, waved his hand at his son, and asked him to take Jiaojiao back to the house quickly.

Li Chengda was happy, and after answering his father, he carefully picked up Jiaojiao and went back to the house to sleep.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jiaojiao got up early in the morning, according to custom, the second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when the married daughter returns to her parents' home, Jiaojiao has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and only on this day several married sisters will return to their parents' home, and the sisters can get together.

Li Chengda naturally knew his daughter-in-law's thoughts, and the return ceremony was prepared early in the morning, not only that, but also prepared a red envelope for the delicate little nephew, and on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, after the two said goodbye to Daddy Li, they rushed to Lotus Village.

The snow on the ground has not melted, and there is only a "creaking" sound when stepping on it, Li Chengda is afraid of freezing his daughter-in-law, and he is going to carry her with something in his hand.

The two of them went out of the village, and happened to see a sedan chair on the road, which can not be seen in a small place like Yushui Village on weekdays, and now because of the New Year, this kind of sedan chair has also increased, and it can sit two or three people, Li Chengda looked at the sedan chair and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his leg to go forward to negotiate the price with others, Jiaojiao was reluctant to spend money, so he hurriedly grabbed him, and the two taels of silver left by Li Chengda, in addition to buying New Year's goods, cut cloth for Li Chengda and his son to make new clothes, and also gave gifts to his mother's family, there is not much left, Jiaojiao is reluctant to spend money indiscriminately.

"It's okay, it's such a cold day, it's warm in the sedan chair." Li Chengda knew the little daughter-in-law's thoughts, so he smiled at Jiaojiao at the moment, took her hand and walked to the sedan chair drivers, asked for the price and paid the copper, and urged Jiaojiao to enter the sedan chair.
