"Jingyao, you called your mother today and said that you are celebrating the New Year in Jincheng?" Jun Xuefen asked on the phone.

"Yes." Yu Jingyao said.

She didn't want to call back and talk to her parents. After all, she knew that her parents had the idea of a big family. During the Chinese New Year, they usually return to Liushupo Village and go to her grandfather Yu Qigong's house to celebrate the New Year.

That's what her grandfather said when he was still alive:

"Whether it's your grandfather and their side, the children in the long house, or the children in our house. During the Chinese New Year, I have to go back to the old house of the Yu family, and a large family will sit together for a New Year's dinner. ”

This rule, she knew was not given by her grandfather, Yu Qijing before his death. But her grandfather, and her parents, followed that old rule.

In her hometown of Yishi, almost all the villagers have the concept of a big family. As soon as the Chinese New Year arrives, I have to go back to the elders' house and go to the reunion dinner.

After marrying Lin Cheng, she returned to Yishi alone a few years ago to visit her parents. Several aunts who live in Haihua Community also asked his mother:

"Sister Roujia, your girl only got married this year. Do you plan to invite your new aunt back for a New Year's dinner? ”

Guo Roujia said embarrassedly: "My new aunt, I'm afraid I don't know in which direction my door opens." ”

When she heard this, she hurriedly persuaded her mother: "Mom, how can you say that about your son-in-law? He's too busy with work to come over, and it's not that he doesn't want to visit you and Dad.

Besides, he usually treats our family very well.

Let's not talk about anything else, aren't all our New Year's goods still bought by him? ”

Guo Roujia listened, so she didn't say anything more.

But those enthusiastic aunts who live in Haihua Community are still persuading Guo Roujia.

"Sister Roujia, your son-in-law is too busy to come back for the New Year. You and Dr. Yu can also go to his army and spend the New Year with their little couple.

The Chinese New Year is to get together as a family and have a reunion dinner. Otherwise, where is the smell of the New Year? ”

"That's it, Sister Roujia. I think the suggestion that the eldest sister just made is feasible. If you don't wait for Dr. Yu to take a vacation, you two husbands and wives, go to your son-in-law's army for the New Year.

The family got together, lively and reunited......"

After hearing those words, she inevitably felt uncomfortable in her heart. But after she came to Shengcheng and met Lin Cheng. She was in front of Lin Cheng, but she didn't say those words to Lin Cheng.

However, on the thirtieth day of the lunar month of Xiyuan in 1994. Jun Xuefen said to her on the phone:

"Jing Yao, you kid is really a lyar. That's a lie, even an elder like me wouldn't take it seriously.

You said you were celebrating the New Year in Jincheng, so I asked your mother to call your dormitory, why didn't you answer? ”

"Aunt Cousin, is it necessary for me to stay in the dormitory all day long? During the Chinese New Year, I must go to the canteen for dinner. Yu Jingyao suppressed the anger in her heart and argued.

"Okay, then even if you're going to the cafeteria. But this year, before the Chinese New Year, you went back to the market once. It's still at your parents' house for one night, right? Jun Xuefen asked on the phone.

"Yes." A trace of disdain flashed in Yu Jingyao's eyes and said.

She knew that Jun Xuefen was either very direct or very winding. Sometimes, Jun Xuefen does it on purpose, as if she doesn't need money for phone bills.

"You have all come back, but you don't go to the grave of your grandparents, are you still not his descendant of Yu Qijing?" Jun Xuefen's words were full of resentment.

"Definitely!" Yu Jingyao's angry willow eyebrows were raised, and she asked impatiently:

"Aunt Tang, if you have something, just say something, I'll hang up if it's okay. Today's Chinese New Year, even if I am not filial enough to go to the grave of my grandparents, but my parents have been there for me.

Is it necessary for you to find something to do for the New Year? ”

"Of course it's necessary, it's necessary." Jun Xuefen raised the decibel level of her voice and told Yu Jingyao on the other end of the phone.

Jun Xuefen didn't hang up the phone, he reached out and gently rubbed his chest. Sit on the couch in your living room with an earpiece in your hand. She heard that Yu Jingyao didn't speak anymore, so she asked Guo Roujia who was sitting next to her in a deep voice:

"Cousin, you also heard what your daughter Jingyao said just now."

Guo Roujia had a trace of embarrassment in her eyes, sat by the brazier, and rubbed her hands. said: "Sister-in-law, you have a lot of adults, don't worry so much about Jingyao as a junior."

For my sake...... and for the faith's sake."

Jun Xuefen slapped her big I leg angrily, and said angrily: "I don't care about her? Did I deal with her? Yes! When she spoke, she stretched out her finger and pointed to Yu Xinjie, who was sitting by the brazier in the living room, talking to Mu Zining. Said:

"You know how filial my family is Xinjie.

In the years after Jingyao's grandmother died, which year did she not go to sweep the grave of Jingyao's grandmother? In another year, did you not send a lamp to Jingyao's grandmother?

Of course, Xin Jie also went to send a lamp to Jing Yao's grandfather. ”

When Yu Xinjie and Mu Zining heard this, they couldn't help but snicker in their hearts. Today, they want to see how Guo Roujia still protects Yu Jingyao.

Jun Xuefen's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness, and she said to Guo Roujia:

"Xinjie is filial, Zining is also a very filial child. You see that she was still studying in the imperial capital, and she returned to our Liushupo Village from such a far away place in the imperial capital to celebrate the New Year.

She also took the place of her father and brought back so many New Year's goods to a large family of our Yu family.

Is she easy? ”

"It's not easy." After Guo Roujia heard this, she was dissatisfied with Jun Xuefen in her heart. But on the day of the New Year, she endured it, and she didn't bother with Jun Xuefen anymore.

First, it was her family's Yaoyao who didn't do well enough. Yaoyao said that she was busy, so she would not go to her grandparents' grave for the time being.

Yaoyao also said that her grandparents would not blame her.

As for the Yu family and the Guo family, those other deceased relatives, Yaoyao said that because she was busy, she wouldn't think about those things for the time being.

Guo Roujia heard this, and could only agree.

As a mother, she feels sorry for her daughter. What Yaoyao didn't want to do, she didn't want to embarrass Yaoyao.

Jun Xuefen was still counting Yu Jingyao's no, and as she spoke, she stomped her feet.

In the camp compound of Shengcheng, Yu Jingyao hung up the phone with a resentful face after hearing a dull "bang" sound.

A trace of disdain crossed her eyes and she bit her lower lip. Just as she was about to speak, her eldest brother rang again. She picked it up and answered it, and she heard Zhang Xiaoxiao's voice.

"Hey, Aunt Zhou." Yu Jingyao said in a low voice.

"Jingyao, when you are free in a while, let's call back and care about your eldest uncle." Zhang Zhixiao said on the phone.

"Oh, okay." Yu Jingyao nodded slightly and said.

"Your eldest aunt, she's going to deliver paper money to your grandmother today. The road was slippery in the snow, and she fell on the way back from the grave mountain. ”

"Huh?" Yu Jingyao looked stunned, and hurriedly asked Zhang Zhizhi on the other end of the phone:

"And how is my eldest aunt? Is she okay? ”
