On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the two adjacent houses had been cleaned inside and out, and the window flowers cut by several children were also pasted all over the house. ”

After finishing the response, he put a few specially packed red envelopes in his hand into the cuffs with a smile, Zhiping, Zhimin, Xiaobao, Zhiyuan, a total of four, each of which is a hundred dollars.

Yoo Ren was also sitting on the sidelines, carefully ordering the things he had prepared a few days ago.

In addition to preparing a few for the family, he also prepared a lot of snacks for a few elders in the township, in the past few months, he has eaten and lived here, saved a lot of money, and has already secretly made up his mind that he should repay the elders in the township.

A few days ago, he proposed to go back to the New Year alone, although his parents died, but the old house is still there, he is reluctant to return here in the spring, but he is embarrassed to stay here for the New Year.

That day, the family was eating, there was Zhiping laughing in front of the table, and Zhou Han and Zhixing were arguing and playing, it was the most lively time, after Liu Ren's tentative sentence fell, the table was full of people who quieted down together.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Han's face was full of strangeness: "What's the point of staying up alone for this New Year." ”

He was still lonely for the New Year, so he drove the carriage here for a few days, but Liu Ren wanted to go back alone.

What's more, on such a cold day, the house has not been cleaned for a long time, isn't it a crime to go back this time!

Sure enough, Chungui shook his head directly, and the sentence "You treat us as outsiders" made him shake his head in fright, and said no, so he didn't dare to open his mouth to mention it.

Even Geng Rong said: "We are all here, what are you going to do when you go back, don't you have to go back after the year, isn't it convenient then?" ”

Several people refuted it sentence by sentence, saying that he was happy and uneasy in his heart, and finally put his mind to go back.

In the next few days, he and Geng Rong prepared New Year's gifts for the elders in the township.

To this day, thinking of the situation a few days ago, I can't help but laugh at myself in my heart for being stupid, seeing Ah Rong like this, he has already regarded this place as his home, why can't he be like this!

Geng Rongzheng patted the red envelopes on his chest: "Zhiping, that stinky boy, he urged me to give this red envelope two days ago, you are not allowed to give it again, otherwise you will be crazy about him!" ”

Liu Ren smiled and nodded: "Okay, Sister Chun is urging, hurry up." ”

The two of them passed one after the other, and saw Zhiping sneaking a glance over, and before they could signal, they were slapped by Zhou Han Zhixing with one palm.

"Don't look at it, where can you get so much New Year's money, how old a child is, don't ask for it!"

One sentence immediately made him sad.

Geng Rong hurriedly took advantage of the fact that a few people were not paying attention, and secretly gestured to him, which coaxed the people.

Qi You looked at his nose and nose, and as if he didn't see it, he went to the front and took the bowl of soup in Chungui's hand.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Qi You said as he walked: "Just now, the Guo family's New Year's gift has been delivered, and it will be placed in the main hall. ”

Chungui pinched his ears, and the tips of his fingers became a little hot: "Then Zhixing went to return the gift after eating, do you want to follow along?" ”

She is waiting to get married, and Lizheng's daughter-in-law brought Xin'er and told her to stay at home, this is not going to ask her to go back to the hometown to pay New Year's greetings, and this Guo Mansion naturally can't go.

The two came to the table, and the other place was piled up with the old high New Year's gift sent by the Guo family, and then looked at the preparation of Zhixing, it was almost the same, Chun Gui thought about it, and she didn't wait for Qi You to reply, she slapped the board: "Zhixing went to Guo's house to give New Year's gifts, you sent those boxes prepared in front of me to you and your colleagues in Zhixing County, it snowed that day, they were busy starving and frozen, you sent them personally, and the work together in the future will be smoother." ”

How could Qi You not know that Chungui deliberately made face for him, although those officials were subordinates, but it was not a bad thing to do enough to be reasonable.

Seeing that she still had something to say, Qi You directly brought the person to the table and sat down first, and then put the dishes and chopsticks in her hand.

Chun Gui also took it without noticing, and continued:

"As for the things for the township, after the New Year, tomorrow and tomorrow, you will pick a time to bring Ah Rong Aren and a few children to go over, and Zhou Han will also go with you, the township is full of acquaintances, and they are all worried about it! The mountain road was bumpy, and Sister Cai and I were waiting at home. ”

If Cai's belly is not yet pregnant, it is natural that the family will go back to the township for the New Year, but the problem is that the belly is already old, although the township is not far away, but the bumpy road is somewhat afraid of accidents, her mother's family and Father Li brought Xin'er over early, and told her to stay in the town.

Just with the spring return to be married.

The people at the table looked at the two of them, one smiled lightly, handed the bowl and handed the chopsticks, the other seriously thought about the arrangement, and several children actually listened to Qi You, nodding their heads from time to time. A few adults couldn't help but think it was funny when they looked at it.

The trivial spring return of the previous year was worried one by one, and then I picked up the chopsticks, and suddenly remembered which side of the New Year's gift seemed to be less, and I was busy and had to put down the chopsticks.

Until Cai's helplessly interrupted: "Okay, you girl, you are waiting to get married at this time, why are you worried about this and that." ”

"You, just put the burden away, if there is anything, ask Qi You to think about it, the New Year's gift is all related to the neighbors, and no one will blame us if there is a loss."

After saying that, Chungui finally stopped, and his face was slightly red: "Okay, okay, just listen to Sister Cai, I won't say more." ”

Cai said this, Zhou Han glanced at Qi You, but pretended to sigh and shook his head: "Sister Cai, why don't you understand, we don't listen to Sister Chun's chatter, but some people love to listen to it!" I've never seen him listen so obediently! ”

Under the eyes of everyone, Qi You's hand holding the vegetables paused slightly, and then put a chopstick dish into the spring return bowl without changing his face.

Seeing that the roots of Chungui's ears were slightly red, Qi You glanced at Zhou Han casually.

And Zhou Han had already thought of ridiculing, so he didn't see it, shook his head and continued:

"Our Sister Chun was the master of the house before she got married, and she was also the master of the house after she became a parent, and it hasn't changed at all, I think it's cheaper for you kid, you can marry a good girl like Sister Chun, and in the future, Sister Chun will be in charge of your home, even if you shake off the shopkeeper, it's not as easy as you!"

This open-mouthed housekeeper is in charge, and Rao is spring return can also hear that this is deliberately laughing.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to slap this kid, Qi You had already pushed another bowl of soup to her table, raised his eyes again, glanced at him meaningfully, and hooked the corners of his mouth:

"You're right, it's a blessing to me."

……

"No one else has had such a blessing."

As soon as the words fell, Zhixing on the side had already laughed out loud, and looked at Zhou Han triumphantly: "Qi You is right, you want to have this blessing, and you don't know when you will have it!" ”

The two people who were going to have happy events naturally helped each other to talk together, choking Zhou Han so much that he couldn't speak.

I had to take a break, pick up the chopsticks again, and eat while shaking my head.

The people at the table listened to this amusementously for a while, and then continued to eat.

After eating, several people went to their respective busy places according to the instructions of the spring return, Li Zhicun went to the street to buy things for the New Year, Qi You and Zhixing took the New Year's gifts and sent them respectively, Zhou Han returned to normal, and took care of a few children to do their homework.

Chungui prepared the evening meal in the kitchen, and simply ate a meal at noon, and this Chinese New Year's Eve meal in the evening could not be fooled at will.

Throughout the afternoon, in addition to the New Year's dishes and a few dishes to be eaten at home, dried meat, taro cake and other snacks from the front shop are naturally also available, a large table of cold dishes has been placed, and when the sky is slightly dark, Qi You has already returned with a large bag in his hand.

When Chungui saw that his hand was full of things, he couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you go to give gifts, how did you bring back so much?" ”

Qi You also looked helpless: "Originally, there was a carriage ceremony, but I turned around and went to a private school." ”

He naturally went to give New Year's gifts, but the officials of the two counties, when the master saw him come to the door with things, they were all shocked, and the things had not yet been received, so they directly searched out a good thing at home, or bacon snacks, or tea and tobacco, all piled up on him, for fear that he would not take it, so he just stuffed it into his palm.

In the eyes of these people, although the county prince has not taken office, he has been able to build an official kiln and settle the displaced people in the snow.

Therefore, Qi You brought half a carriage of New Year's gifts when he went, but when he came, he was stuffed with a whole carriage, which made him helpless and funny, and he had to accept it with the sincere eyes of everyone, and then thought about it, went to a private school, and left some of his own things to a group of villagers.

Those villagers had time to take their savings and a few clothes when the sun set and snowed, and a dry rice and noodles were added by the government later.

Naturally, I was thankful again.

After listening to him, Chun Gui couldn't help laughing, took a dry cloth and patted the frost hanging on his shoulder: "I didn't expect that you and Zhixing have been admired in their eyes, and this New Year's gift has come and gone, but it made them break the bank." ”

Qi You stood straight in front of her, raised his hand and turned around to let her slap, and after patting, Chun Gui pretended to sigh: "I still won't be your master in the future, so as not to be like today."

After speaking, he was about to turn around and put the strip of cloth aside, but after only taking a step, he was pulled back by Qi Youlian.

She exclaimed, "Eh! ”

Just to the smiling face in front of him.

Chungui loosened his shoulders that were tense due to the sudden reaction and blinked: "What's the matter?" ”

There was no one in the courtyard, and there was the sound of Zhiping and Zhou Han fighting in the study, as well as the sound of firecrackers outside the house in advance.

Qi You clasped her shoulders, carefully looked at her gentle eyebrows, paused, and then said:

“…… Zhou Han's words at noon were not wrong. ”

Chungui was stunned for a moment, and didn't react to what the words were.

Qi You didn't wait for her to react, and continued: "I love to hear this, and I love to watch you do this. ”

The trivial things in the family, the arrangement of big and small things, are all from the heart of the woman in front of him, and the daily chatter or discussion makes him feel down-to-earth.

It's as if a home is slowly erected.
