On the morning of the thirtieth day of the lunar month, small snowflakes floated in the sky.

Xia Jian, who hadn't slept all night, actually fell asleep at this time, and in his sleep, he was pinched by someone. Xia Jian was suffocated and sat up. The scene in front of him made him feel very good, and he saw that Xiao Chenchen had already put on new clothes, and was about to climb into bed to continue pinching his nose at the instigation of Zhao Hong.

Xia Jian hurriedly made a gesture of surrender, and said in a loud voice: "I surrender, I surrender" He said as he began to get dressed.

"Daddy! I want a big train," Xiao Chenchen said with a cute little mouth.

Xia Jian smiled and said, "Okay! I'll take you to buy it right away" When Xia Jian got dressed and walked out of the door, he found that his father and mother were ready, so he took him alone.

Everyone went to the village committee compound together. When Xia Jian just drove Daben out of the courtyard, he happened to run into Wang Degui, this old man Xia Jian had indeed seen him for a while. The strange thing was that he found that the old guy was like eating the fruit of life, and he hadn't changed at all, and he was still the same as before.

In contrast, his father Xia Zecheng is much older from the looks of his face. Wang Degui saw Xia Jian driving out of the village committee, he didn't dodge the meaning, but laughed and said, "Mayor Xia is back for the New Year?" Wang Degui's question made Xia Jian feel that there was something wrong, but he didn't feel very comfortable anyway.

"Oh! What about the old village chief for a walk? Xia Jian asked vaguely.

Wang Degui laughed and said: "What a walk, the three sons are back, the family is making a lot of trouble, I came out to hide." Fortunately, the third came back alone, otherwise I really wouldn't have a place to go at home."

Wang Degui was obviously showing off again, and Xia Zecheng, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help but snort coldly, and almost scolded his mother. Zhao Hong reacted quickly, she stuck her head out of the window, and said with a smile: "If you don't have a place to live at home, you can come to the village committee to live."

As soon as Zhao Hong spoke, Wang Degui suddenly seemed to be short of words, and where he stood he just laughed twice. Xia Jian hurriedly kicked the accelerator, and Daben rushed over from Wang Degui's eyes.

"This old immortal is so old, and he is still pinching with our family" Sun Yuejuan sighed and said.

Xia Jian drove the car and didn't speak, he just smiled slightly. Zhao Hong, who was sitting on the side, smiled and said, "Listening to Wang Degui's words, it means that Wang Youdao also came back with his wife?" ”

"If you don't get married, you don't count," Xia Zecheng said a little unconvinced.

Sun Yuejuan teased Xiao Chenchen while laughing and said, "What if it's over?" Isn't Wang Youcai married? It's not heads-up yet."

The family talked and laughed. Xia Jian was very happy when he drove the car, although he didn't sleep well last night, he didn't feel sleepy at all, but was more energetic.

Xia Jian parked his car in the underground parking lot of the largest supermarket in Pingdu, and then took his family to the supermarket. People in the city are usually busy with work, and the thirtieth day of the lunar month is the peak period for them to prepare New Year's goods.

Although Xia Jian and the others came a little early, the mall was already crowded. Coupled with the sound of the announcement of the price sale, it sounds like Jane is really a mess.

Fortunately, everything at home was ready, and everyone just accompanied Xiao Chenchen to buy a toy train.

Just as the family was walking out of the mall, Xia Jian suddenly ran into Yao Junli. Yao Junli originally wanted to talk to Xia Jian, but when her eyes fell on Xiao Chenchen, who was hugged by Zhao Hong, her face changed slightly.

"Is this your son?" Yao Junli's eyes were both surprised and elusive.

Xia Jian nodded a little embarrassed and said, "Yes, are you going to celebrate the New Year in Pingdu this year?" Xia Jian quickly changed the topic.

"My parents went to the provincial capital, and I was supposed to accompany them, but how good things are here in Pingdu, I want to take the time of the New Year to deal with it well" Yao Junli said softly, nodding at Zhao Hong and saying hello.

Yao Junli had been to Xia Jian's house, so his parents knew Yao Junli. The two old men walked over and greeted Yao Junli with a smile. Xia Jian could see that Yao Junli was particularly unhappy, but in the face of Xia Jian's parents, she pretended to smile a little.

Separated from Yao Junli, Xia Jian took everyone to the car. When he was about to leave, Zhao Hong suddenly said to Xia Jian: "I have everything at home, but it is a red envelope for shortcomings." You should buy a little bit, and when the time comes to give red envelopes to children, put the money in it, how happy it looks, or Xia Jian will buy some and come back? ”

Xia Jian immediately understood what Zhao Hong meant, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay! Then you sit in the car and don't move, I'll be here in a moment."

After Xia Jian finished speaking, he immediately jumped out of the car and went up to the first floor. When he saw Yao Junli just now, she seemed to have gone to the food area, so he didn't stop somewhere else, but went directly to the food area.

Sure enough, Yao Junli was standing in the food area to pick fish for her, and when she saw Xia Jian walking towards her, she couldn't help but be stunned. Then he smiled and asked, "Aren't you already gone?" Why did you run back again? ”

"I was upset when I saw you?" Xia Jian asked in a low voice.

Yao Junli pulled the shopping cart to the side of the aisle, then let out a long breath and said, "Yes! I was a little upset. You seem to have told us that Zhao Hong can't give birth, why is the child so old? That means you've been lying to us all the time. I'll forget it, I said that I won't get married again in my life, but what about Ouyang Hong? ”

The more Yao Junli said, the more emotional she became, and it was the first time Xia Jian had seen Yao Junli like this.

Xia Jian glanced around and found that there were no acquaintances, so he took Yao Junli's hand and said softly: "I didn't lie to you, this child was not born to Zhao Hong, Zhao Hong really can't give birth."

"Really, who did I have sex with?" Yao Junli's eyes were full of surprise.

Xia Jian let out a long breath and said, "This child was sent by Zhou Li of the Venture Group when I was not at home, and she said that this child is mine." But that's not the case."

"What are you talking about? Why do I get more confused the more I listen," Yao Junli asked very puzzled.

Xia Jian calmed down his emotions and said, "You just know that this child is not my own." As for what the situation is, I don't know. Because Zhou Li seems to have evaporated from the world, I can't contact her at all. Besides, this child has gone to the hearts of my parents."

"Ahh How so? If you don't say it, you're deceiving your parents. Tell me, how did you know that this child was not your own, did you secretly do an appraisal? Yao Junli asked in a low voice.

Xia Jian shook his head and said, "The child had a minor operation, and he had to donate blood. The nurse said our blood group didn't match"

"Damn! That is to say that this Zhou Li deceived you. But the child didn't know anything, he was innocent. I see that he is very close to your family," Yao Junli's tone finally calmed down when she said this.

Xia Jian let out a long breath and said, "Okay! I'm here to explain to you, come to play at home during the Chinese New Year? ”

"Look at the time! If you have time, you might as well come and accompany me, just a moment" When Yao Junli said this, her eyes were full of expectation.

Xia Jian nodded, turned around and left. Under the guidance of the waiter, Xia Jian bought two large stacks of red envelopes, which may cost more than two hundred copies. According to Xia Jian's habits, this pack can't be used up.

Xiao Chenchen was impatient waiting in the car, and when Xia Jian got in the car, he was playing a little temper. But this little guy is very smart, as soon as he sees Xia Jian, there is nothing to do. It made the three adults laugh secretly.

Chinese New Year's Eve, rural people basically have no people going out. Everyone is busy at home, such as cleaning, posting couplets. Sending tickets to the old ancestors is a lot of trivial matters anyway.

On the village road leading to Xiping Village, there is not a single car in sight, let alone a pedestrian. Xia Jian raised the speed of the car very high and drove desperately to Xiping Village.

The occasional sound of artillery made Xia Jian's heart even more anxious. As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the village, Xia Zecheng and Sun Yuejuan took Xiao Chenchen out of the car, the two old men were like arrows, in fact, their hearts were more anxious than Xia Jian.

When Xia Jian and Zhao Hong drove into the village committee, Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu were pasting couplets with a few young people. As soon as Xia Jian parked the car, Chen Erniu ran over.

"Alas! Let Auntie prepare a few more good dishes tonight, and let's come to your house for a drink? Chen Erniu laughed and said.

Xia Jian shook his head and said, "No, you can't be at my house every year!" Besides, I forgot to buy wine."

"Humph! Waiting for you to buy wine? That's impossible. I met my uncle two days ago, and he asked someone to bring him a case of good wine, so you don't have to worry about this wine" Chen Erniu patted Xia Jian's shoulder and walked away, looking like he had eaten him.

Zhao Hong looked around and explained a few words to Xia Sanhu, and then returned to Xia Jian's house with Xia Jian. Since her in-laws went to her nephew's house in another place, it was all given to Zhao Hong. Zhao Hong couldn't care about other people's gossip, so she simply regarded Xia Jian's family as her own home.

She only goes back at night when she sleeps. Anyway, the matter between her and Xia Jian has already spread, and she has nothing to worry about.

That's what people are, they're curious about everything. When Xia Jian and Zhao Hong's affairs were no longer hidden, everyone lost their curiosity about this matter, and instead felt that everything was so natural.

Xiao Chenchen was alone in the house playing with his little train, and the little guy was the captain for a while, and a passenger for a while. At a young age, he already has the talent to perform.

Xia Zecheng, who was busy with housework, really liked his little grandson to the extreme. While he was doing things, he kept teasing Xiao Chenchen, so angry that Sun Yuejuan lost her temper in the kitchen.

The people of the family regard the New Year as more important than anything else, and in the minds of their elderly, they should prepare all the food that is said for the New Year. In fact, now there are refrigerators and supermarkets, so there is no need to do this at all. But this habit is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the elderly.

Seeing all this, Xia Jian was extremely satisfied, this is home.
