When Wu Yuehua and the three of them prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it was almost eleven o'clock.

When she was busy cooking, Wu Yuehua temporarily threw aside the worries in her heart, but now that the meal was ready and idle, she couldn't help but worry again.

"This kid, the telegram didn't say that he would get home so late, and when he comes back, he must be talked about well!" Wu Yuehua muttered in a low voice.

It was at this time that Chi Jin stepped into the yard with a body of wind and snow.

Although the wind and snow were heavy at night, the courtyard gate of the Zhao family was wide open, not only the courtyard gate, but also the door of the hall house.

Chi Jin stepped into the courtyard.

There was a dim light in the hall, shining in the courtyard, and against the background of the snow in the courtyard, the light seemed extraordinarily warm.

Chi Jin's heart also warmed.

Since joining the army, he has been in the army for the New Year in the first few years, and even if he can ask for family leave, he has never asked for it, but has given the opportunity to other comrades in need.

As for the reason......

Although he still has the surname "Chi", Chi Jin has long not regarded those people as his family, since this is the case, then of course there is no need to go back to Chi's house for the New Year.

Now that Chi Jin's grandparents have been rehabilitated, the Wu family has re-established themselves, and when the Chi family sees Chi Jin again, they no longer have the contempt that they used to take him seriously at all, but they have replaced it with a flattery, and Chi Jin is even more reluctant to go back to the Chi family.

The Chi family is no longer his home.

It was just now, when he stepped into the courtyard, looking at the dim light in the hall, thinking that there were still a few people in the house who were waiting for his return, Chi Jin realized the warmth of home.

Since the death of his mother, Chi Jin has only been able to feel some of the warmth of home in Wu Yuehua and his grandparents.

With this heart-warming feeling, Chi Jin strode into the house.

"Auntie, uncle, little soldier......" Chi Jin stood in the middle of the room, "I'm back, I've kept you waiting." ”

Wu Yuehua immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She first greeted her, looked Chi Jin up and down, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Chi Jin, and then she began to complain: "You kid is really, I don't know if it's late, I don't know if it's late, I'm looking forward to it from morning to night, I'm afraid that you have something in case, why don't you worry about it so much?" ”

Chi Jin coughed lightly when he heard this.

In fact, if he hadn't turned the corner and went to Xiaowu Village, he would have arrived in the morning.

Now there is no shuttle bus to sit on, to go to Xiaowu Village and back to Anning County, Chi Jin has come step by step on his legs, and it is more than 100 miles back and forth, and of course there is more time to delay.

When Zhao Weiguo saw Chi Jin like this, he thought that he was embarrassed by Wu Yuehua, and hurriedly said: "Yuehua, look at you, Ah Jin has finally arrived home, and he must not have eaten yet, let's eat first." ”

Hearing Zhao Weiguo say this, Wu Yuehua hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first." ”

Chi Jin was stunned for a moment, "Auntie, you haven't eaten yet?" ”

He came back so late, and thought that Wu Yuehua and the three of them had already eaten.

"Since it's Chinese New Year's Eve, of course, we have to eat again after the family reunion, you haven't arrived yet, how can we eat first?" After Wu Yuehua said this, she hurriedly opened up.

And Chi Jin, listening to Wu Yuehua's words, and then looking at Zhao Weiguo and Zhao Bing, who were also busy, only felt a little warm in his heart, and at the same time a little sour.

However, after a while, Chi Jin also suppressed these emotions in his heart, put on a smiling face and joined Wu Yuehua and the three of them, and they were busy together.

……

New Year's Day.

Gu Qing and Gu Bai slept lazily.

Last night, the New Year's Eve was kept until the early hours of the morning, and after that, both of them slept until dawn, and by the time they woke up, it was almost ten o'clock.

Gu Qing woke up a while before Gu Bai, Gu Bai was still asleep when she got up, and when she freshened up and sat at the table for breakfast, she saw Gu Bai rushing out of the room with a chicken nest on his head.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?" Gu Qing was a little funny.

Gu Bai didn't bother to answer Gu Qing's words, and rushed directly to Gu Guozhang and Yang Xiuyun's side, and stretched out his hand towards the two: "Dad, Mom, press the New Year's money!" ”

The children of this year are probably looking forward to the first day of the new year, no matter how difficult the family is, the New Year's money for the children is indispensable, whether it is a penny or two, or a dime or two cents, it can make the children happy.

Gu Bai is still less than fourteen years old, of course.

Looking at Gu Bai's expectant look, Yang Xiuyun couldn't help but be a little funny: "I don't wash my face early in the morning, and I remember the New Year's money." ”

However, having said that, Yang Xiuyun still took out the red envelope that had been sealed a long time ago, stuffed one into Gu Bai's hand, and then stuffed one into Gu Qing's hand.

"Thank you, Mom." Gu Bai hurriedly opened the red envelope after taking it, and was a little surprised when he saw that it was a big unity inside, "Mom, give so much this year!" ”

In previous years, the New Year's money was at most five cents a piece, but he had never given ten yuan, so it was no wonder that Gu Bai was surprised.

Yang Xiuyun smiled when she heard this: "You can take what you usually buy for yourself." ”

This year, she has plenty of money, and Yang Xiuyun will certainly not lose her two children.

Of course, if she didn't know that Gu Qing and Gu Bai would not spend money indiscriminately, Yang Xiuyun would not give ten yuan of New Year's money at once.

Hearing Yang Xiuyun say this, there is no intention to object to Gu Guozhang again, Gu Bai is so happy that he is about to jump, although he will not spend money indiscriminately, but he can have his own pocket money in his hand, this is also a thing to be happy about, isn't it?

After carefully receiving the Great Unity into the room, Gu Bai began to wash up.

Gu Qing smiled and shook his head.

After breakfast, Gu Qing took the red envelope in his hand and opened it, and sure enough, like Gu Bai's, there was also a big unity inside.

According to the customs of Anning County, the first day of the Lunar New Year is to go to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, but the Gu family and the Yang family have no elders anymore, so the family of four did not go out to pay New Year's greetings.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family of four cleaned up and went to Yang Haishan's house with a large bag.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the married girl is going back to her parents' home.

The Yang family was not far from Xiaowu Village, and Gu Qing and the four of them walked for more than an hour.

Seeing the four members of the Gu family with big bags and small bags, the villagers always cast curious glances from time to time, it is not that they have never seen the Gu family come to the door in previous years, but they have never seen Yang Xiuyun's family mention so many things in previous years, this Yang Xiuyun's family is rich?

Some people even yelled at Yang Haishan's house early: "Yang Haishan, your sister-in-law's family is here!" ”
