Chapter 23: The Most Memorable Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

The Spring Festival is a time for family reunion. Over the years, Jin Hao has had countless women outside, but the reunion dinner must have been eaten with Jin Ruiyang at home. When Dong Mingzhu was alive, he kept the New Year to accompany her, and after his death, this habit of keeping the New Year has been retained. Of course, Wu Yang will also come over with them. Originally, it was for red envelopes, and then it slowly became a habit.

"Happy New Year uncle, Wishing you prosperity!" Wu Yang came to ask for red envelopes again.

"Okay, good, red envelopes are indispensable for you. Take it, stinky boy, marry my baby daughter and lie to me about the red envelope! Saying that, he happily gave Wu Yang a big red envelope. At this time, De Jin Hao really looked like a kind elder.

Wu Yang naturally took it. Then he walked up to Jin Ruiyang and asked, "What gift does Yangyang want this year?" ”

"Wu Yang, is it okay to accompany me to Beijing to see the snow?"

"Yangyang, do you miss your grandfather? Why don't you come with you tomorrow? Jin Hao didn't expect his daughter to suddenly want to go to Beijing, after so many years of loneliness, how could she suddenly have such an idea, is there something that she doesn't know about happening?

"Hey, forget it, it's definitely not fun to go, my grandfather and uncle have ignored me for so many years." "Wu Yang, why don't you accompany me to Tibet, Tibet has very thick snow in winter. Harbin and Heilongjiang are all ......"

"Hey, you kid, if you want to see the snow, you must be going to Beijing, and it's time to go to see your grandfather. It's too cold in Beijing, and I'm not going to be involved in you young people when I'm old. Wu Yang, you should take good care of her. After listening to Jin Ruiyang's words, Jin Hao was finally relieved, it turned out that he was just playing with his heart and wanting to see the snow, and it seemed that he was thinking too much.

"Okay uncle, I'll tell my parents to see if they want to be together, I can be regarded as meeting the elders, I have to make a good impression, right?"

"You kid has this mouth......"

"Yangyang, go to the warehouse and get some supplements for your grandfather to bring. Oh, no, your grandfather likes chess, and I have a pair of chess pieces made of red sandalwood in my study, you can bring it to him. ”

"Okay Dad, I'll bring you Peking duck when I come back. I heard it was delicious. ”

"Okay, it's past 12 o'clock now, you guys pack up and get ready to rest, I'll go upstairs first."

As soon as Jin Hao went up the stairs, Wu Yang ran over and hugged Jin Ruiyang, and said in a voice in her ear that only two people could hear: "Sister, why do you suddenly want to go to Beijing, what happened?" ”

Jin Ruiyang also put his arms around his neck and said, "Grandpa knows about you." If we don't go, he's going to fly over. ”

Jin Hao quietly looked back at them and was very pleased.

"Go to your room and say!" Wu Yang led Jin Ruiyang into the room.

"Sister, how did my grandfather find me?"

"Jin Fei's mother went to the mountainous area where my aunt taught back then."

"How does she know I'm not dead?"

"I don't know about this either, I think it must have something to do with the person who wrote the letter to my mother, we must find this person!"

"Then how did Grandpa find me?"

"Are you stupid? I found you lucky, grandpa found you strength, do you understand strength? ”

"What about our hospital? He wouldn't know about it, would he? ”

"It doesn't matter, it's good if he knows, it's good that one more person will take care of it. Sometimes he can say a word that is more useful than we run for 10 days. ”

"So when are we leaving? I want to go with the little one early! ”

Jin Ruiyang didn't speak, thinking in his heart: "Li Xiaoli, what are you doing now?" ”

Li Xiaoli's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten in a rented house in Xinji, Nancheng, Dongguan.

During the Chinese New Year, my father went back to accompany my younger brother, leaving only me and my mother. My uncle and aunt didn't go home for the New Year, probably because they wanted to save some money. My mother and I came to Xinji, and when I came to this place again, I was still a little scared in my heart, I was afraid that I would meet Jin Fei again. My uncle's factory is across the road from the last time I saw it. My uncle and aunt worked in a shoe factory, and I heard that my uncle was a small leader with a monthly salary of more than 1,000. My aunt was very kind to me, she used to write to me when I was in school, sometimes she would send me some money, and she would give me gifts on my birthday, and I liked her very much. When we got off the train, my aunt and uncle were already waiting on the platform.

"Uncle, aunt, happy new year!"

"Okay, Xiaoli has grown taller and prettier!" My aunt took me by the hand and looked at me.

"Sister, I'll mention it!" My uncle took my mother's bag.

Entering the industrial area, it is really two different worlds from the other side of the road. It's all small vendors with canopies. There are a lot of people in the factory, and if you are not careful, you will be hit by someone.

We entered a 5-storey accommodation complex and the moment I entered the door I thought it was a dream. There are 10 households living in a room of less than 100 square meters, and the toilets and kitchens are shared. It's not so much 10 people as 10 beds. 1.2 meters of bunk beds, put things on top, and live on people. There is a 60cm table between the two households. When it comes to eating, you can only sit on the bed.

There is no privacy in such a room. The only obstruction is the bed curtains around it. Even better, the bed is surrounded by cardboard boxes. The floor was damp. The toilets and kitchens may be blocked in the sewers and filled with water.

My aunt may have seen my discomfort and explained with a smile: "Xiaoli, you're not used to it, are you?" We have a low grade, so it is very difficult to enter the factory, this factory we still trust the relationship to enter, usually go to work overtime, here is to sleep, and cheap, so we rented. ”

"No, auntie, I'm fine."

In order not to upset my uncle and aunt, my mother and I had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here and stayed.

My mother and I got out of bed, and my uncle went to the top floor to lay the floor, and my aunt cleaned up and went to sleep. I couldn't sleep in this environment. I have been afraid to go to the toilet, I have been holding back, and it is very uncomfortable.

And the couples who live around will inevitably make noises. Mom didn't fall asleep either, "Leigh, are you going to the bathroom?" Now that they're all asleep, can I go with you? I'm guarding you outside? ”

I still didn't dare to sleep when I came back from the toilet, and then my mother simply got up and accompanied me, "Li, now do you know why I didn't go to see you?" Although your father and I have better working conditions than your uncle's side, we are also paid according to working hours, and we will not have full attendance for one day off and one month. How can any parents not want their daughters, we also want to see you, but think about it, after a holiday, we can go to see you! ”

"Mom, I know, don't say it, I don't blame you!"

"If only you could be considerate of us as parents. My brother still has to go to school, he still has to spend money, the family house has not been repaired, we are still young, and there are still people who want to work, so my father and I will have to work hard for a few more years......"

"Mom, I won't spend money anymore, I'll spend all the money I earn in the future!"

I hugged my mother and cried, if it weren't for their cruelty to keep me and my brother at home, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to go to secondary school. Although it is only me and my brother during the holidays, we can eat and dress at home and sleep peacefully, but what about the parents who work outside?

I remember that when my uncle and aunt came home for the New Year, they always bought a lot of things for their relatives at home. Everyone thinks that they have made money outside, but in fact, only they know the bitterness behind it.

I especially wanted to take my mom to see where I worked, tell her that my working environment was good, and tell her not to worry about me. I also especially want to take her to see Jin Ruiyang and Wu Yang......
