Chapter 204: Chinese New Year's Eve

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve, as in previous years, was full of festivity, and the streets and alleys were full of music to celebrate the prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty, fireworks and singing and dancing.

The winter weather in the capital this year is cold, actually snowfall, large snowflakes, the mountains and rivers of Qinhuai, cage out of a world covered in silver, the snow scene is extremely beautiful, not only did not hinder the lively atmosphere of this Chinese New Year's Eve, but also let a group of rich children in the capital, with a family, go out early to play, enjoy the scenery of the snowy night.

Lou's house is also brightly lit, from time to time there is the laughter of the maids and servants, the old lady Lou sits in the hall, there is a small charcoal stove in front of her, the candle flame crackles, the red lantern in front of the door emits a dim light, shining on the sticker in front of the window, outlining the simple pattern, and there are many steaming food on the table,

There are three girls waiting in the hall, one is Shannier, who has been following the old lady, who is about the same age as Laneige, and her temperament is also relatively honest and dull, she can do work and talk less, and the other two are called Xiaoqin and Xiaotong, who are young, only more than ten years old, and are very quick to do things by Meng Nier and Xiaoyan, and her mouth is also bright, and she is very good at talking.

At this time, it was already dark, Fu'er and Yifan, the two children were still young, before it was dark, they were already sleepy and their eyelids were fighting, at this time they were lying on the soft sand, the sisters and brothers were together, face to face, with a blanket on their bodies, sleeping sweetly, the old lady was sitting around obediently, Duoduo, the giant panda Xiaopan, there was a little fox on the sand armrest, Jiang Yi's Beibei squatted at the door, the food on the table was full of color and fragrance, and the stove was also warm, but the old lady's eyes still couldn't help but be a little lonely, her own son and daughter-in-law, Now that he is not at home, Gongsun Zhi was invited into the palace again, a huge mansion, and now there are many maids and servants, but the old lady still feels that this cold and lonely night is extremely difficult.

No matter how gorgeous the fireworks outside are, maybe it will be lonely for this old man......

Bang dang, bang dang......

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure with a cold body and a head covered with snow squeezed into the door, followed by a girl who hurriedly blocked the door.

The old lady was stunned, raised her head, and saw her daughter-in-law standing at the door, she was wearing a navy blue cloak, snowflakes were splashing, a small face, red from the cold, the tip of the nose was also red, the whole person was trembling, the joy had not yet floated, and she was startled first: "You child, why are you walking back in the snow?" Shaniel, hurry up and get the shoes for Madame, get the clothes, the little piano, hurry up the big stove, and the little boy hurry up and boil the water......"

The old lady's confession was not finished, Xiaoru had already asked Meng Nier Xiaoyan to serve her coat, jumped and ran into the house, sat on the sand, and shivered, "Oh, it's really ......cold this year."

A room full of small animals suddenly came alive, and even the little fox who was sleeping in a daze opened his eyes.

The old lady didn't care about these little guys for a while, she only looked at Xiaoru, and the corners of her distressed mouth twitched: "You kid, you are all a mother, why are you still so ignorant...... Look at your hand, or the doctor, what is it like to freeze? ”

In fact, it's a little red, how important is the doctor's hand, how dare Xiaoru be careless, today it's just that she is afraid of the cold, so she feels unbearable, although they are in a hurry, but the car is in good condition, even if there is some cold wind, it is not bad, but in the mother's heart, even if the child is only injured a little bit, it will be very distressing, Mrs. Lou muttered in her mouth, but she was familiar with Xiaoru's hand and put it into her sleeve.

Xiaoru muttered: "I'm in good health, but my mother is careful to be cold." The whole person didn't resist, obediently past, I don't know if it was an illusion, just a moment, Xiaoru felt that Zhou was warm up and down, and she couldn't feel the chill anymore. Only then did she pull her hand out of her mother-in-law's sleeve with a smile, picked up the food on the table, and took a few bites.

I remember that in the winter a long time ago, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were next to each other like this, using each other's body temperature to keep warm, and spent one difficult winter day after another.

The girls waited for Xiao Ru to change out of her wet boots and coats, Meng Nier and Xiaoyan prepared hot porridge, and the food on the table was also removed and reheated, Xiao Ru waved her hand and didn't let the two of them toss anymore, "You go down and change your clothes, don't catch a cold, come over and eat together in a while...... Mother, where is Brother Xiaolou? ”

Xiaoru relieved himself at this time, only to see that his father-in-law was gone, it was normal for the old man to be absent, and he should still be enjoying the royal banquet in the palace at this time, as long as the old man was in the capital, he couldn't hide from the New Year, and he definitely had to enter the palace, but Lou Yi was not there, it was absolutely wrong, who didn't know that his father-in-law was a filial son, and he was not at home with his mother during the New Year, and he was running around, which was too unusual.

The old lady shook her head angrily and smiled bitterly: "I heard that something big happened in our hometown, you Brother Ding can't hold it alone, as soon as you left, the old man sent him out, and he didn't even have time to bring his luggage, my mother originally thought that their brothers would be able to come back before the New Year, who knows, a few days ago a letter came, saying that they couldn't come back, not only Lou Yi didn't come back, even Ding Feng didn't come back, although the old man didn't say it, but these days I looked restless, and I didn't feel good......"

Xiao Ru was stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, Lou Yi and Ding Feng are not people who don't know what to do, Lou Yi won't talk about it, his mother is here, his children are there, the family is worried about him, he is a lover, if he can come back, there is no reason not to come back, Ding Feng must also understand that leaving Gongsun alone during the New Year, the old man must be uncomfortable, both brothers are filial children, this time, I am afraid that I will encounter trouble......

Although she thought so in her heart, Xiao Ru smiled and said: "It's okay, let their brothers go over, when the old man comes back, let's celebrate the New Year together, it will definitely be more lively than them...... Miss, did you miss me? As he spoke, he lowered his head and hugged his obedient neck and kissed him for a long time, causing a lot of trouble, Xiao Pan and the little fox both squeaked and screamed, Beibei jumped over, rested on Xiao Ru's knees with two front feet, stretched out his tongue and licked Xiao Ru violently, a string of silver bell-like laughter echoed in the night sky, dispelling the loneliness just now......

The old lady took a bowl of hot porridge, watched Xiao Ru swallow it, and then remembered something, looked around suspiciously, and asked, "Xiao Ru, where is Jiang Yi's girl?" Why didn't I come back with you? And also...... Didn't you go to Gao Ran, people? ”

Xiaoru blinked, "They are behind, Jiang Yi has a child, he can't go fast, I asked Jiang Tian to hurry back, when they get home, it is estimated that they will have to come back tomorrow, Gao Ran also brought him back, and he will be thrown into the hospital after the New Year." ”

"You kid!" The old lady laughed, but then, there was a little sympathy on her face, "Gao Ran, that kid is pitiful, hey, what a girl, just let people kill like this, Xiaoru, do you want him to rest for a while......"

Xiao Ru didn't care, it's not that she didn't understand Gao Ran's pain, it's just that she has always felt that pain is such a thing, whether you are idle or busy, it will not disappear, and what can make it shallow is only time, maybe let Gao Ran have something to do, be busy, and don't care about cranky thoughts, it will be good for him.

"Mother......" Lou Yifan rubbed his eyes and blinked in a daze for a long time, only then did he recognize Xiaoru, opened his mouth wide, and screamed happily.

"Godmother......" Fu'er also opened her eyes, and as soon as she saw Xiaoru, a bright smile immediately appeared on her delicate and beautiful little face.

"Yo, let's talk too loudly, wake up the little babies......" The old lady happily picked up Fu'er, Xiaoru hugged Yifan and kissed a few mouthfuls, the child grows up fast, I haven't seen it for two months, Brother Fan'er's eyebrows and eyes seem to have grown, and they have become delicate and delicate, including the advantages of the two parents.

The cold wind was howling, but the house was as warm as spring.

Mrs. Lou pulled her daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren sat around her, and the loneliness that was still in her eyes just now, she didn't know where to run, and the three of them were smiling and chatting while picking peanuts and melon seeds.

"Xiaoru, tell me, you went to Hangzhou for two months, did it go well? What's going on? ”

Xiaoru blinked, and bared her teeth, what? That's really...... Even if it wasn't earth-shattering, it made me uncomfortable for a long time, and I was frightened by the woman Guo Xinran from the Hu family, and Jiang Yi dragged her back...... However, fortunately, there was no trouble for myself......

So, Xiaoru smiled and said lightly: "What can I do, eat well, play well, Brother Hu has added another pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the joy of making Zhang, the joy of making tiles, the double happiness is coming, Jiang Yi and I also watched a good show, Jiang Yi Nizi chose a son for nothing......"

The old lady was dizzy when she heard this, shook her head, and chattered: "The lady of the Hu family is worry-free, only two at a time, it's too convenient...... Xiaoru, when Lou Yi comes back, let him accompany you more at home, and I have to add another brother and sister to Brother Fan......"

Xiaoru smiled and listened to her mother-in-law's broken words, but her heart was moved, this time seeing Qi's satisfied appearance after giving birth, she also felt that while she was still young, it would be good to have two more children, Brother Fan would not be lonely if he had younger brothers and sisters who were about the same age as him......

Early in the morning, before the snow outside the door had melted, Jiang Yi rushed into the house with Tuan Tuantuan, and as soon as she entered the house, she jumped at Xiao Rujiao and said, "Sister...... How can you be like this, throw me down and run away by myself, this kid has made trouble for me, and you won't help me......"

Xiao Ru was sitting in a precarious position, eating shortbread in small bites, without raising her head: "I have already pushed it all away, but someone rushed to find trouble, of course, whoever brought the trouble back, who took over, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Sister—"

"You call, wake up the child, it's not my mind anyway."

In a word, Jiang Yi was honest, looked at Tuan Tuan's little face with a bitter face, lowered his voice and muttered: "Sister, this child cried a lot, I have to find his mother, you see, this eye is swollen, if you cry blind, when Guo Xinran comes back, how can I explain to her, that is a female devil who kills people without blinking, in case I say that I abused her son and slaughtered me with a knife, I don't even have a place to reason!" ”

Xiao Ru glanced at her and raised her eyebrows, "It's okay, when you die, I will remember to send you a bowl of coarse tea and light rice......"
