The sorrow in front of me is solved, and it is one day closer to the New Year.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, push and grind tofu.

Xia Xiaoqin made 20 plates of Chiba tofu at home, and took out the hoarded Hongfu New Year's gift package to sort out the taste, and divided it into a New Year's gift.

I want to give Zhang Shigang a New Year's gift to thank him for taking care of him last year.

Zhang Shigang's craftsmanship in making Chiba tofu is more skilled than Xia Xiaoqin, and his family also has a few boxes of Hongfu gift bags, but what he gives is a heart!

Aunt Sun in the commissary wanted to send a copy, and when Xia Xiaoqin didn't have a phone at home, Aunt Sun sent a message asking Xia Xiaoqin to answer the phone.

There are also a few that need to be sent by bicycle, and Xia Xiaoqin went to Wu Yun's house on the way first with the New Year's gift.

When she arrived at Wu Yun's house, Xia Xiaoqin realized that today was really a good day for gifts.

The Wu family has few heirs, Wu Yubing, Xiang Yunhai and Xiang Changsheng came together to give New Year's gifts to Wu Yun, who had no children.

"Xiaoqin came just in time, you are all classmates, let's sit together." Wu Yun said enthusiastically.

Xia Xiaoqin hurriedly shook her head: "I still have to go to other homes." ”

Xiang Changsheng asked expectantly, "Sister-in-law, do you have my share?" ”

Xia Xiaoqin coughed dryly: "I thought you had already returned to southern Henan for the New Year." ”

Xiang Changsheng pursed his lips, then pointed at Wu Yubing and asked, "What about hers?" ”

Wu Yubing opened Xiang Changsheng's hand and said in an awkward tone: "This is a New Year's gift for the elders, what's the matter with me!" ”

Xia Xiaoqin laughed: "It's not just a New Year's gift for the elders, but also for the classmates to love each other!" You wait! ”

Xia Xiaoqin took out 3 bags of Hongfu gift bags and 3 bags of Qianye tofu from the box fixed on the back seat of the bicycle, and handed them to Xiang Yunhai, Xiang Changsheng and Wu Yubing respectively.

"I wish you a happy new year in advance, the next year is at school, please continue to take care of me!"

"Sister-in-law, how many New Year's gifts have you brought? Given us these, is it enough to score? Xiang Changsheng asked poorly.

Xia Xiaoqin smiled and said, "It's just not enough, and you can't be missing!" ”

"I love to hear my sister-in-law say this!"

"Don't be poor, I still have to continue to leave, you can accompany Aunt Yun here."

Wu Yun takes a lot of care of Xia Xiaoqin, and in private, Xia Xiaoqin doesn't like to call her Teacher Wu, and prefers to call her Aunt Yun affectionately.

Leaving the Wu family, Xia Xiaoqin rode in the direction of the compound.

The doorman standing guard in the compound was familiar with Xia Xiaoqin's face, but the Zheng family did not come to pick up people, and the doorman did not let anyone in as usual.

At the end of the year, Xiangmanyuan also began to be busy, Zheng Lan was not at home, and it was Zheng Qing, the eldest sister of the Zheng family, who came to receive Xia Xiaoqin.

Xia Xiaoqin hadn't seen Zheng Qing for a long time, and when she saw her again, she was still so kind.

"I'm going to have a good time today, the Chiba tofu made by our talented girl must have a different taste from the ones sold outside."

"That's it." Xia Xiaoqin deliberately puffed up her chest with special cooperation, "The Chiba tofu I made is with love!" ”

Zheng Qing was amused by Xia Xiaoqin and giggled, and when she was about to turn around and speak again, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a person, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

Xia Xiaoqin thought that Zheng Qing saw someone she didn't like, so she looked at Zheng Qing's line of sight and found that Zheng Qing saw Zheng Xue who looked exactly like her.

Zheng Qing frowned and didn't speak, Xia Xiaoqin couldn't help but say hello.

"Sister Xue." Xia Xiaoqin shouted Zheng Xue.

Zheng Xue didn't seem to expect Xia Xiaoqin to come, her eyes were a little flustered, and she stood in place with her lips pursed.

Xia Xiaoqin was a little confused, why did Zheng Xue look like she had done something wrong and was caught?

Zheng Qing frowned, and urged Zheng Xue angrily: "What are you stunned about?" Let's help Xiaoqin carry things. ”

After Zheng Qing's reminder, Zheng Xue walked over.

When Xia Xiaoqin entered the door of the Zheng family, Old Man Zheng saw Zheng Xue coming in with her, and his eyes became very sharp for a moment.

But it was just a matter of a moment, except for Zheng Xue, who had a weak heart, who saw it, no one else noticed.

Old Man Zheng wanted to leave Xia Xiaoqin for lunch, but Xia Xiaoqin couldn't shirk it, so she had lunch at Zheng's house.

However, Xia Xiaoqin found that Zheng Xue's mood had not been very good, as if something unhappy had happened.

Xia Xiaoqin and Zheng Qing chatted well, and they also visited department stores together, but they were really not familiar with the second sister Zheng Xue, and she was not easy to ask.

After lunch, Old Man Zheng wanted to rest, and Zheng Qing sent Xia Xiaoqin away.

Xia Xiaoqin originally had to go to the Shen family's old house, but the Shen family's New Year's gift was given to Wu Yubing and a few people by Xia Xiaoqin, and she had to go back to get a copy again.

Xia Xiaoqin returned to the courtyard and found that Shen Shu had prepared another New Year's gift, and she asked in surprise, "Mom, who is this for?" ”

"It's for your Uncle Wang."

Uncle Wang?

Xia Xiaoqin thought for a while and asked, "Is it Professor Wang Xiwang?" ”

Shen Shu nodded: "Your Uncle Wang stayed in Huai County until yesterday and didn't come back, he is alone at home, there must be a cold pot and a cold stove at home, let's go and see him." ”

Shen Shu has prepared all the New Year's gifts, of course Xia Xiaoqin has to say "good".

Half a year ago, Wang Xi was abused by Mrs. Xia and Ma Xiaomei in order to report to Shen Shu, and I don't know if this matter left a psychological shadow on Professor Wang.

Professor Wang lived in the family home of Beijing Normal University, where he stayed to teach after graduation, and then was introduced to a female middle school teacher to marry.

It's a pity that the female teacher died of illness in the second year.

In the next few years, Professor Wang successively sent away his deceased wife's parents and his own parents, and a series of accidents made Professor Wang bear the name of a relative.

In order to come out of his grief and put his love on work, Professor Wang completely lost the idea of remarrying, and year after year, he has stumbled to the present.

On weekdays, I don't feel much when I'm busy with work, but when it comes to the New Year's holidays, the sense of desolation comes.

Shen Shu is right, Professor Wang's house is indeed very deserted, and when Xia Xiaoqin's family arrived, he was still cleaning up the house that had not been occupied for half a year.

Shen Shu glanced at the table that had not been wiped clean, and knew that this old classmate had no skills in housework, she put Xia Xiaofu down, rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll help." ”

"This ...... Not quite right? Professor Wang looked a little embarrassed, "What I can clean up by myself is that I haven't been free yet, and I've been writing reports since I came back." ”

"You've done your best for your work, and we've got to help." Xia Xiaoqin also rolled up her sleeves, "When we finish our work, you can just leave us for a meal." ”

Xia Xiuxue glanced at the empty kitchen and took the initiative to ask, "I'll go buy some honeycomb coal." ”

Professor Wang hurriedly wiped his hands: "You don't know where there is honeycomb coal, let's go together." ”

Outside the alley of the family home, there is a pallet truck selling honeycomb coal, Professor Wang said: "I don't need much honeycomb coal by myself, just buy a basket." ”

Professor Wang paid for the honeycomb coal and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go buy some vegetables on the street." ”

Xia Xiuxue could also carry the bamboo basket containing honeycomb coal alone, but Professor Wang asked him to wait, and he waited.

Xia Xiuxue waited left and right, and before he could wait for Professor Wang, he saw Wei Dongxin and Wei Qiuxin first.

Half a year ago, Professor Wang and Wei Dongxin went to Xiajia Village to find Shen Shu, and Xia Xiuxue met Wei Dongxin, a senior senior.

On the opening day of Beijing Normal University, Xia Xiuxue met Wei Qiuxin, a cheerful, generous and enthusiastic sophomore, at the orientation office.

Xia Xiuxue had never made associations before, and at this moment he suddenly learned that these two people he knew turned out to be brother and sister!
