"Sister-in-law!" Although the door of the store was closed, Huo Xinyu was still able to enter through the gate of the Kou family when he came to look for the two of them. She knew where Kou Xi lived, so she walked in with the door open.

"Ahh

"Besides, my sister-in-law is like this, why don't you go home yet?" Huo Xinyu pouted and complained: "You don't want to go home for dinner during the New Year? My mother and my dad are waiting for you at home!"

"When we're all separated, why don't we go over to eat?" Kou Xi looked helpless: "Did she say that we should bring any New Year's goods over?"

"My mother didn't say it, let you watch it!" Huo Xinyu said honestly: "Before coming out, the second sister-in-law had already started chopping the dumpling filling." There was a lot of meat in the family this year, and my dad even got a whole beef rib from the purchasing station. said he was going to get you and Ding Meili some bone broth. ”

"Ding Meili also eats at home?" Kou Xi's eyes widened and felt incredible: "Chinese New Year's Eve has been spent in our house?"

Huo An frowned and said, "That's too undeserved, Huo Lu should be sent back." ”

"The second sister-in-law said that she was scolded by my mother. It's not good to send it back, after all, I'm pregnant. Huo Xinyu pouted: "Oh, big brother, even if you split up, you have to go back for the New Year." I can't stay at my sister-in-law's house every day for 365 days a year. Let's have a reunion dinner together today and watch the party together, okay?"

"Then we will have a meal together in the afternoon, and we will come back for the meal in the middle of the night." Kou Xi got up and put away the passbook, although there were still many questions that Huo An hadn't asked, but he wasn't in a hurry for this moment.

She opened the cabinet and took out a pink and white turtleneck sweater and handed it to Huo Xinyu: "Well, this is a New Year's gift for you." Then he glanced at Huo An again, Huo An took out a gross ticket from his trouser pocket and handed it to Xinyu: "This is the New Year's money for you, keep it for yourself, don't let people know." ”

Huo Xinyu has always had a good relationship with Kou Xi, and he has been afraid of Huo An, the eldest brother, since he was a child. After receiving Kou Xi's gift, he smiled, and he was a little apprehensive when he saw the New Year's money given by Huo An.

"Big brother, I don't want it, I'm so old. Huo Xinyu waved his hand at Huo An, shook his head again and again, and didn't dare to take the money.

"I'll take it for you, where are there so many problems. I know that when I'm not at home, you are good to your sister-in-law at home. In the future, no matter who is in the family, you remember, as long as you always protect your sister-in-law, I will thank you. Huo An almost never showed any kind of smile to this sister, and he himself was fierce. Huo Xinyu was even more furious when he saw him like this, and he couldn't say anything: "No, big brother, this is all as it should be." My sister-in-law usually treats me very well, and I always act according to my conscience. Don't worry, I will definitely not let my sister-in-law suffer, this family is the best sister-in-law. ”

Saying that, Huo Xinyu stepped forward and grabbed Kou Xi's arm, and caught a glimpse of her slightly bulging belly. whispered: "Sister-in-law, it's cold and the road is slippery, you have to be careful." ”

"Milk, I'll go over there with Huo An to eat first. When it came at nine o'clock, we would be back. "The custom here is that the Chinese New Year's Eve starts eating at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner begins at eleven o'clock in the evening, and everyone celebrates the New Year's Eve together.

Old Man Kou nodded and said to Kou Xi: "Do you still have some food at home, you take some over, I see that there is a pot of pork head meat on the stove, you can also bring some." Don't go to your mother-in-law's house empty-handed, let people laugh at us!"

Kou Xi glanced at Huo An and said with a smile: "We are all ready, the wine that Huo An brought is stronger than the one at home." We'll just take that!"

"Take some vegetables, you can't stop cooking for the New Year. I'll pick some spinach that isn't frozen, you take it, and I'll pick two persimmons that don't freeze the skin. Tang Jinzhi said and went to the kitchen with a smile, Kou Xi pouted and said in front of Huo An and Huo Xinyu: "Whatever you take, it's a white-eyed wolf!"

"You kid!" Old Man Kou glanced at Huo An and saw that he did not look unhappy. Tiger face said: "What do you say? Are there any rules!"

Kou Xi rolled his eyes disapprenorantly, and said with a puff of heart: "I'm like this, they know what they do by themselves." Are you still afraid of what people say?"

"The more you talk about it, the more you put it on your face!" Mrs. Kou was also unhappy, and pointed to Kou Xi's stomach: "I don't know how to be an example in front of the child, be careful of teaching the child badly in the future." ”

Speaking of Kou Xi's belly, everyone remembered Niu Niu. Huo An lowered his head and looked around for Niu Niu: "Go, get dressed, and follow me to Grandpa's house." ”

"I don't want to go!" Niu Niu blurted out, kneeling on the kang in Tang Jinzhi's newly made cotton pants to play with a small green frog. Behind the butt of the little frog is clockwork, and as long as it is full of "energy", it can jump by itself. This is the New Year's gift that Huo An bought for him, and Niu Niu has a lot of fun.

"Why?" Kou Xi asked knowingly.

"I just don't want to go, they don't like me, they always scold me!" Niu Niu said with a pouting and a bitter face.

"With Dad here today, no one dares to say anything about you. Kou Xi stepped forward and stretched out his hand at Niu Niu: "Whoever dares to bully you, Dad will beat him!"

Even so, Niu Niu is still reluctant to pass. He turned around and hid behind Kou Xingyu: "Brother!"

Kou Xingyu smiled and hugged Niu Niu in his arms, and said dotingly: "Brother-in-law, it's so cold, or don't let Niu Niu pass." ”

"He's my son, and we'll have to take him with us wherever we go. No, I have to go today, I see who dares to twitter in front of me!"

Huo An couldn't help but pull Niu Niu up from the kang and forcibly put on clothes for the child: "This is the new clothes your mother bought for you, how beautiful they are." Take this toy and I'll take you there on my bicycle in a moment. ”

"You take us on a bicycle?" Kou Xi grabbed Huo An and said with a smile: "Big brother, there are three of us, how can you take it?"

Huo Xinyu said on the side: "I.... I'm here by bike, too, so I can go with you. ”

Just like that, it was snowing all over the place. Hoan rode a 28 bike, with a pouting Niu Niu sitting on the front bar and Kou Xi wrapped in a she-bear in the back. Slowly drove towards Huo's house, and there was a Huo Xinyu next to him who was happy to get a new dress.

When he arrived at Huo's house, Huo An stood on his long legs and put the bicycle steadily. turned around and shouted Huo Xinyu: "Hurry up, help your sister-in-law!"

Huo Xinyu was stunned by Huo An's roar. Recklessly, he ran over and threw the bike away. The whole person slid to Kou Xi's side, stretched out his hand and carefully helped Kou Xi get out of the car.

"Sister-in-law, slow down, slow down!"

Zhang Yao came out of his house and walked to the main house, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Huo Xinyu helping Kou Xi to get out of the car as if he was helping the Empress Dowager Cixi. couldn't help but mock loudly: "Hey, this rich person is different." Only those who invite three or four can go home for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!"
