Later, Tiankuo came back from outside, and when he learned that the letter had been sent from home today, he took it and read it again.

After turning over and over again, he didn't find any mention of Hengling, Tiankuo sighed, "I don't know what happened to Brother Chen, and I didn't receive his letter." ”

Siqi said, "It's a good thing that the letter didn't mention it, we are not far from Hengling, if there is anything important, how can it not be mentioned in the letter?" No news is the best news, but this year, they must have been in trouble, otherwise how could they have not heard from them? We're so far away, we can't use our strength, there's really no way. ”

Tiankuo nodded, put the letter away again, and put it away, "It's already twenty-four, and the New Year is coming soon, this year is really fast!" Let's celebrate the New Year outside, we have to make it lively, otherwise this house is cold, there is no New Year's look, Zhou Hao and Zhou Xing followed us here and suffered, the New Year has to let them live well, these days are almost arranged outside, I can stay at home these days, if there is any heavy work, I will do it, and I will do the arrangement of the lady. ”

Siqi smiled and said, "No, the Yongqing and Zhengyuan you should do have been done, you are really hard during this time, it is good to stay at home, take a good rest, and then it will be the New Year, no matter what the current situation is, when it comes to the New Year, we can't be sad, we must be happy, so that the next year's year will be good, don't you say?" ”

Tiankuo smiled and said, "You're right, you shouldn't be sad, you should always come, we are ready to do what we can, it's useless to blindly worry and be afraid." ”

Tiankuo agreed, but he also knew in his heart that he couldn't do it, he has now sat in this position, and he has to think about the safety of the people in this county.

Even if he doesn't have to go out to work these days, he still thinks about it every day, and he can't wait to go to the border to see what the situation is.

The court doesn't care, he always has to take care of it, isn't this the use of his parents and officials? It is to find a way out for the people of this county.

This year's Chinese New Year must be more deserted than the previous time I celebrated the New Year here, Zijun can't come over, now this is the case in many counties in the whole province, Zijun is also a parent official, how can he leave at this time?

Last time, there were Chen Qiuchi and a few of his brothers, and I didn't see anyone this year, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Liu went home, Yongqing and Zhengyuan also went home for the New Year, only the four of them are here, and Qiu Ling and their mother and son, fortunately, Wangwang gave birth to three dogs, there are a total of five dogs in the family, and people and dogs get together, which can be regarded as lively.

The days have to go on, and the New Year is about to come, so Siqi is going to arrange the home, the window grilles on the wall should be pasted, the lanterns should be changed, and the peach charm at the gate should be replaced with a new one.

There are a few of them during the Chinese New Year, and they can't eat too many dishes, so they think about eating hot pot, which is the most convenient, prepare more meat and vegetables, and they can't get tired of eating, isn't this better than stir-frying?

Thinking that there wasn't much to do, I was still dizzy when I was really busy, and finally gave everything to Zhang Luo on the twenty-eighth day.

Next, waiting for the New Year, Siqi prepared four red envelopes and prepared a few New Year's gifts, which were for Aunt Zhou'er, there was nothing important to do at home, so Siqi called them over and gave them red envelopes next to each other.

She smiled and said, "There are a lot of things this year, so I left you at this time, delaying you to go home for the New Year, this is a little bit of my heart, don't be too little." ”

Aunt Zhou said, "Madame is so polite, this is what we should do, we get paid, Madam, otherwise we will stay here to accompany you for the New Year this year, right?" If you're gone, how can you handle it? ”

Siqi said with a smile, "It's not that I haven't stayed here, it's nothing, I've already decided to eat hot pot for the New Year, Sister Qiu Ling is also going to bring the child over, and Zhou Hao Zhou Xing is here, the four of us can always get it right, you can rest assured, I'm busy here all year round, and I rarely have the opportunity to reunite with my family. ”

They were all very grateful to Siqi, accepted the red envelope, and received the New Year's gift from Siqi, which was really rich.

Siqi has always been a generous person, they have been working here for so long, and sometimes they don't need to be so deliberately polite, but they make the relationship more serious.

Aunt Zhou and Aunt Liu still had to buy some things for the family, so they left first, Yongqing and Zhengyuan packed up the carriage, put their belongings on the car, waited for the two of them to come back, and then walked home together.

Zhou Hao Zhou Xing was naturally helping on the side, Zhou Hao handed things to the car, Yongqing put everything in place, turned around and said, "I have already chopped the firewood, if it is not enough, find a way to send a letter to the countryside, and I will come to chop firewood for you immediately." ”

Zhou Hao smiled and said, "It's enough, what about such a big firewood stack, can it still be used?" We can burn as much firewood as we can, unless you don't come here for a long time. ”

Yongqing immediately said, "How can it be, it is estimated that the seventh and eighth days of the first lunar month should come, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Liu are worried that their wife will not be busy, so they will definitely come over early, I can't wait for that time." ”

Zhou Hao nodded, "Your village is not too far from the border, you still have to be careful during the Chinese New Year, don't let the Mongolian people sneak into the village, I heard that those people are not kind, they are hungry, what can't they do?" If someone really touches the house, leave the rest alone, it is important to save your life. ”

Yongqing nodded, "Okay, I know, you should also pay attention to safety in the city, close the door and celebrate the New Year, at this time, there should be no one coming here, someone must ask clearly before opening the door, bring the big black with you, the big black is amazing, and ordinary people are not its opponents." ”

Zhou Hao nodded again, after the two of them said it, they didn't know what to say, Zhou Hao felt weird, why did they tell each other here?

She quickly pointed to the house, smiled and said, "There are still some things, I'll help move them out." ”

Without waiting for Yongqing to speak, she turned around and ran back.
