In the past, when Xia Xue was there, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there were no kitchen people in this Chu family's old mansion. Therefore, the breakfast on the first day of junior high school was prepared by Xia Xue herself.

Although she doesn't usually cook much, Xia Xue actually has a very good hand.

The first and second days of the Lunar New Year are only two days, and there are not many people in the family. Basically, Xia Xue is busy working alone, and she is also busy.

After all, it's the Spring Festival, even if it's a maid and cook in the house, it should be a holiday. It's always hard to have such a big festival, and I don't let my family go home to reunite with my family.

For a long time, every year on the first and second days of the Spring Festival, Xia Xue will personally explain the affairs of the family. Originally, Xia Xue was here to take care of Chu Hancheng, and she did her best to take care of the old man. In the past two days, the family has been reunited, and Xia Xue is even more busy and very happy. Therefore, the old man has been extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law in all aspects for many years.

It's just that this year is an exception, Xia Xue is not in the country after all.

However, thinking that Tutu can't come back for the Spring Festival, it is also appropriate to be a companion with Ms. Xia.

It's just that the old man said at the moment that he was handing over all the things of the first year of junior high to Chu Hancheng, not that Chu Hancheng could take it over by himself. This seems to be a hint. Suggesting that someone should behave at this time.

The old man's words, Chu Hancheng naturally understood it quite well, and happily responded.

Then he quietly said to Ms. Gao: "Mom, can you still do this cooking?" ”

"Huh? I? I don't cook very often. ”

"I know you don't cook often, and you have special people over there to serve you to eat and drink. Tomorrow, on the first day of the new year, you heard what the old man said, you, can you handle this cooking skill? ”

Speaking of which, no matter how high you go, you can understand it. When I heard it, I was naturally overjoyed.

"I, I'm okay, I used to like to eat what I made when your father was here. Don't worry, tomorrow's three meals a day will be wrapped up in me. ”

Although it was work, and it was not an easy job, Gao Gaoya was still happy. Unexpectedly, when she came to the Chu family, she could still be treated like Ms. Xia as a daughter-in-law in this family. Even if she was not recognized in name, but this made Gao Gao Ya very happy.

"Okay, if you can do it. I'm also good at cooking, so I can help you. ”

Chu Hancheng was afraid that she was used to being served on weekdays, her cooking skills were unfamiliar, and this old man's mouth was also extremely picky. If it's really bad, I don't know what his old man will say.

Jiang Yingyue listened from the sidelines, smiled in her heart, and only looked at the old man as if he was a very powerful person. In fact, now that people are old, they are also soft-hearted old people. If this had been done before, it would have been absolutely impossible. Now, he is directly willing to let Ms. Gao replace Ms. Xia and let her cook tomorrow's meal.

You must know that the kitchen of this Chu family's old mansion is not something that anyone can enter.

can let Ms. Gao in, that's true, and it can be regarded as accepting her as a family.

After all, she is Chu Hancheng's biological mother, so it's not bad.

After lunch at noon that day, the servants were ready to leave the Chu family's old house and go back to their own house for the New Year. The old man pinched a large handful of red envelopes in his hand and gave red envelopes to the people on vacation one by one.

Holding the thick red envelope given by the old man, everyone's face was happy.

It wasn't until the people on the other side of the kitchen finally cleaned up that they came out to receive a big red envelope, and the old house of the Chu family began to celebrate its own Spring Festival.

That night, the population was not large, so the old man, the old butler, Jiang Yingyue and Chu Hancheng, plus a lady Gao, sat at the same table and had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

Jiang Yingyue was curious, in this Chu family's old mansion, but all the staff went home on vacation. Today, the last batch is gone, but the old butler is still here.

So after the meal, when she was sitting there chatting and talking, Jiang Yingyue couldn't help but ask Chu Hancheng.

"Mr. Chu, why doesn't the old housekeeper go home for the holidays?"

Chu Hancheng listened, glanced at the old housekeeper, and saw that his old man was sitting on the main seat with the old man, talking and laughing, like a pair of old brothers. It is also said that in this room, no one can spend more time with the old man than the old housekeeper.

It looks like a master and servant, but in fact, it is really a relationship that is closer than a brother.

Chu Hancheng turned around and shook Jiang Yingyue's hand, lowered the voice that only the two of them could hear, and said, "The old housekeeper can no longer have other family members. Years ago, my wife died of illness. Later, their only son, who was also working in a laboratory abroad, died unexpectedly due to a mistake. Other relatives' families are not easy to go to for the New Year, so they simply stay with the old man every year. Look at him, over the years, he has had such a good relationship with his grandfather, even if he let him go, he is reluctant. ”

Jiang Yingyue listened to this, and realized that the old housekeeper was the only one left.

Usually, I can't even see that he is such a poor person.

"I see, it's the first time I've heard of it. It seems that in the future, it is time to care more about the old housekeeper. ”

"Don't worry, the two of them know how to take care of each other. The old housekeeper's son was also funded by the Chu family to send him to study back then, and later, it can be regarded as cultivating a talent. It's just a pity, after that incident, grandpa promised that the Chu family was the old housekeeper's home. In the future, he will live in the Chu family, and settling down for the elderly is also a matter of the Chu family. In the future, if he goes to the front, his grandfather will personally take the family to see him off for the last time. In the future, if he walks behind his grandfather, I will also take care of his retirement and death. So for so many years, he has been in our house, by my grandfather's side. ”

Jiang Yingyue nodded when she heard this, no wonder the old housekeeper was loyal to the old man.

Now it seems that this is not just a question of loyalty or disloyalty, but a friendship of dependence.

"Well, actually, it's good for the two of them to be companions."

"Yes, I've been together for most of my life, and I'm really closer to anyone else."

After finishing talking in the evening, fireworks were also set off lively. Although fireworks are forbidden in the city, this side is not in the city, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers is endless, which is better than the New Year's atmosphere in the city.

Jiang Yingyue is now pregnant with a child, and it is not good to go out to make trouble, otherwise, she will make an appointment to go out with Xiao Qingyu and them to have fun. Nowadays, I can only watch fireworks at home, talk to my elders, and eat snacks. At night, I dozed off and waited until after New Year's Eve to go to sleep.

Chu Hancheng accompanied Jiang Yingyue to rest, and then led Ms. Gao to her place to rest.

Originally, there was no place for Ms. Gao to use here, but Ms. Xia called in advance and arranged it for Ms. Gao. It's not anywhere else, it's the small building that Ms. Xia lived in after she married Chu Tiannan and later belonged to her. The bedroom was not arranged in Ms. Xia's bedroom, but Chu Tiannan's study was specially tied.

Chu Tiannan's original study, over the years, Ms. Xia has been preserved as it is. There was also a bed in there, and Ms. Xia hadn't moved it for so many years.

When Chu Tiannan was alive, he didn't have much time to share a room with Ms. Xia. I came back to sleep in the study more often than I went back to the bedroom.

Now, Ms. Xia has seen everything, and she also minded Chu Tiannan and Gao Gao Ya back then. It's just that now, in this regard, she doesn't care about it for a long time.

It's also that Chu Tiannan is gone, if the people are still there, I'm afraid that Xia Xue would have divorced and become a full HD Ya and Chu Tiannan.

Now, people are gone, and there is no such thing as divorce, and Xia Xue has no way to let her name. All she could do was try to fulfill her thoughts about that person.

In their short marriage to Chu Tiannan, they have never loved each other. Even Xia Xue thought about cultivating a relationship with him at that time, but it was useless.

Instead of pulling yourself unhappy in the second half of your life, it is better to open the sea and the sky, be chic, and let HD Ya be happy and happy.

So, when Gao Gao Ya was brought to the study by Chu Hancheng, Gao Gao Ya saw some old things that he had seen before, and after recognizing it at a glance, Gao Gao Ya looked at Chu Han City first.

"This is my father's study before his death, and my mother asked me to arrange for you to live here today. You can live in peace, everything here, Mom has remained the same for so many years. This building has also been lived in the Chu family by my mother for so many years, and the things here have been carefully preserved. You're here this time, and you're here to stay. It's not as spacious and comfortable as the guest room, if you're not used to it, I'll take you to the guest room now. ”

Chu Hancheng said this, but Gao Gao Ya immediately grabbed his arm.

"No, no, no, I'll live here, I'll live here, it's good here. It's better here than anywhere else, even if it's for me to live in your mother's main house, it's better for me to live here. ”

Ms. Gao said, moved again.

She smiled and said, "I should call her and thank her." Thank you for fulfilling me so much, if this had been put before, I would never have thought that I would still be able to come to your father's study. ”

Ms. Gao was already excited, and I was afraid that she would not be able to sleep tonight.

"People have been gone for more than ten years, what else is there to be so excited about. If you want me to say, you and my mother, the two of you should find a suitable person now while you are still young, and you can be together for the rest of your life. ”

As soon as Chu Hancheng said this, Gao Gao Ya slapped Chu Hancheng twice on the arm.

"What are you talking about? Where is there a son who persuades his mother to remarry? Really, it's the first time I've seen you. ”

"It's not something out of the ordinary, he's been dead for twelve years. You should also have your own freedom, as I said, you have never married, what kind of remarriage? ”

Chu Hancheng's words were really true. Isn't Ms. Gao never married?

At this moment, Ms. Gao stared at Chu Hancheng with a very dissatisfied expression: "I don't want to listen to you, go out." Hurry up and go back to your own room to accompany Yingyue, I just want to stay here alone, don't bother me here. ”

It's not that she has never been married, and this is also her biggest regret in this life.

After Chu Hancheng was kicked out by Gao Gaoya, Gao Gao Ya stayed in Chu Tiannan's study alone.

The people were gone twelve years ago, but inside this house, everything was very clean. Whether it's furniture, books, or even the ornaments on the desk, they are all very well maintained. It can be seen that when Xia Xue was here, she was also carefully preserved.

Gao Gao Ya touched them one by one with his own hands.

As she walked, she burst into tears. Knowing that there was no one else in this small building tonight, she was relieved to shed a few tears.

"Tiannan, I'm coming to your house. It's been so many years, it's the first time I've been here. You liar, you once said that one day, you will bring me back in person. As a result, you just left, you left, and you never brought me here once. It's still my son who is reliable, and today, my son brought me here. ”

Gao Gao Ya said, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile, She is happy to be here, very happy.

As if Chu Tiannan could hear what she said, Gao Gaoya couldn't help but say it again after saying a lot.

"It was arranged by Xia Xue, and she asked her to stay here. Maybe we were all wrong, if we could have had a good talk with her, maybe, it wouldn't have been like that. She is a reasonable person, but she has been buried in this Chu family for half her life. Tiannan, you say, it would be nice if we could have met sooner. If only you hadn't left so early, that would have been greater. ”

Thinking about these things, Gao Gao Ya actually regrets it in her heart.

"I used to hate her, after all, Cheng'er is my son, and that's my son. was snatched away by her so raw, but now, I really can't hate her. Do you see, our son, how good he is? A person like me can still have such an excellent son, you don't know how happy I am. Xia Xue, after all, raised the city with her heart. As far as Cheng'er's attitude towards her is concerned, that's also very good. I'm happy now, I'm really happy. ”

Gao Gao Ya walked back and forth in the study I don't know how many times, almost trampling on every floor tile and touching every object before she finally walked to the bed.

On it, it was already a new sheet and bedding, but Gao Gao Ya obviously looked at it as new but also thought that this was the bed that Chu Tiannan had slept in, so he slowly lay down, as if he was still with his lover.

This night, for HD Ya, is exciting, exciting. Such excitement and excitement undoubtedly made her insomnia. In the early hours of the morning, I barely slept through.

On Chu Hancheng's side, after settling down, Gao Gao Ya went back to rest.

Jiang Yingyue was already asleep lying on the bed, and Chu Hancheng lay down beside her lightly.

This is also the first time Jiang Yingyue has come to stay, and this is only the second night. Originally, she was not used to changing the environment, but because this was where Chu Hancheng had lived in the Chu family for many years, she had been here countless times, and she was used to it. After the New Year's Eve at night, I was so sleepy that I lay down for a while and fell asleep.

The next morning, which was also the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yingyue set the alarm clock early. I want to get up and help Ms. Gao make breakfast. After all, Ms. Gao was here for the first time, and she was not familiar with the kitchen or anything.

After the alarm clock rang, although Jiang Yingyue still felt quite sleepy, she still got up.

Chu Hancheng moved faster than Jiang Yingyue.

"You've only slept for so many hours, why don't you sleep a little longer, I'll help her out there in the kitchen." You can rest assured, you won't be in a hurry. ”

Although Jiang Yingyue is also sleepy, she will also wake up. I simply got up with my clothes on, and lay on the bed, I'm afraid it's going to be quite difficult to sleep.

"No, I'll get up and go with you. Anyway, it's also a New Year, a little excited, and it's hard to sleep when you wake up. ”

Usually, Jiang Yingyue really doesn't refuse Mr. Chu's kindness. But now, Jiang Yingyue really can't sleep. At this time, if you want to put her to sleep, she will also think about what to eat in the morning.

Also, she was a little hungry.

So, after the little couple got up together, they cleaned up and went directly to the kitchen.

Yesterday, Chu Hancheng and the old housekeeper also took Gao Gao Ya to familiarize themselves with the kitchen here, and familiarize themselves with where the things in it were placed, so that when Gao Gao Ya made breakfast, he could quickly find what he wanted to use.

Originally, Jiang Yingyue's alarm clock was already set very early, and it was only six o'clock, and she got up with Chu Hancheng. I cleaned up the kitchen, but found that Gao Gaoya was already busy over there.

"Mom, you're so early?"

Jiang Yingyue was a little stunned when she looked at it.

"It's not early, I asked the old housekeeper, the old man's breakfast, it's all eight o'clock in the morning, and the time is set. And I also asked the old man about the breakfast on the morning of the first day of the new year over the years, which is something that takes some effort. So, get up early and prepare. It's rare to have a chance in decades to honor his old man, do I still want him to wait for breakfast on the first day of the new year? ”

Gao Gao Ya said, but she was also very happy.

Jiang Yingyue nodded, but it was the same reason.

"Okay, Hancheng and I will come over to help you."

"No, no, I can do it myself. Yingyue, you better have a good rest. In the kitchen, there are inevitably a few drops of oil and water on the floor, and your mind is in this body, but you have to pay attention to it in every way. I really want a helper, so let Hancheng help here. As for you, don't do it, find a chair next to you and sit down, watch us do it, just talk to us. ”

HD Ya is really happy, the kind of joy that has never been seen before.

Anyway, being able to come to the Chu family for the New Year doesn't mean that it is recognized, at least, this family is not like the previous rejection of her.
