Approaching the Chinese New Year, every household is preparing New Year's goods.

Yuan Li made clothes, shoes and socks for the children, which gave them a special sense of achievement. This is also the first time that the April family can wear new clothes during the New Year.

When my father and eldest brother were at home, the family situation was okay, but they couldn't wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year.

Cloth is too expensive, much more expensive than grain.

Especially in recent years, I heard that Shuzhou and the south of the Yangtze River have suffered disasters, and there are also bandits, and the price of cloth has been rising.

Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, prepare the wine and dishes for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in advance in April, and only need to be steamed in the pot tomorrow.

Little four and five grinned, their faces flushed, and they saw the flesh for the first time.

The days when you can eat and drink enough are the days of happiness.

It's windy outside, and I'm afraid it's going to snow.

In April, I took a ladder to the roof for maintenance. The thatched house for many years is either this leak or that leak. I stepped on the roof and tried it, but the beams were still strong and should be able to withstand the next wind and snow.

"April is coming down, beware of falling. If it's a big New Year, there can be no accidents. ”

Yuan Li was worried, and his heart hung in the air, scared to death.

"I'll come down now."

April climbed down the stairs and heard a banging knock outside the courtyard door.

"Who! I don't know how to knock on the door of the New Year. Yuan Li complained and told Xiao Si to open the door.

April stood on the stairs and looked at it, stunned.

She thought she must be dazzled.

How can it be.

Obviously, it will be next autumn that my father and brother will return home. Why did it appear outside the hospital gate at this time?

"Mother, it's my father who is back. Daddy and Big Brother are back! Xiao Si screamed, excited, jumping and jumping.

Immediately after, Xiao Wu also jumped up, "Dad is back, big brother is back." Daddy......"

Yuan Li was stunned in place, at a loss, "I'm back, it's back, I'm finally back, woo woo woo ......"

As she spoke, she began to cry, and the more she cried, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help herself.

"you, I'm back, why are you crying?"

"Why did it take so long to come back!" Yuan Li threw himself into Yuan Chengwu's arms, "Do you know that you are not at home, how much we have been wronged!" I almost starved to death. If it weren't for April, if it wasn't for April......"

April came down the ladder with tears in his eyes.

Seeing her relatives again, she couldn't hide her excitement.

"Dad, big brother, you're finally back."

"April?" Yuan Chengwu looked surprised, "When I grew up, I almost didn't recognize it." ”

When she left home, she was still a short girl with sparse and yellow hair, but now she is a slim and peugeot girl.

"It's cold outside, dad and big brother come in quickly. I went to the kitchen to cook two more dishes. April wiped away her tears and had a smile on her face.

The family is finally reunited.

The home is still the same home, but the furnishings in the home have changed. It is incredible that his wife and children are wearing new cotton jackets, and the family is also eating meat.

"When I was not at home, my eldest brother and sister-in-law took good care of me." Yuan Chengwu thought that his wife and children had all this, and it must be the credit of his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Yuan Li snorted coldly, "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law almost drove the whole family to death. Now all this is thanks to April, if it weren't for April to make tofu, I, I'm afraid I would have starved to death. The whole family is hungry, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law refuse to borrow a grain or pay back the money they owe. It's all April, and it's all April...... This home has April and is where it is today. ”

Speaking of sadness, Yuan Li cried again.

Yuan Chengwu and Yuan Mancang, father and son looked at each other.

"Don't cry yet, what's going on, you can make it clear."

Yuan Li cried uncontrollably, and the little four and five volunteered.

"There is no food at home, hungry, the third sister asked the uncle's family to repay the money, but the uncle refused to pay back."

"The third sister sharpened her knife and went to the uncle's house in the middle of the night, and then asked for the money back."

"The third sister is amazing, she makes tofu and sells it, and it is sold out in the morning."

"The third sister also taught the whole village to make tofu and sell it, and the four grandfathers all opened a tofu shop in the county."

"The third sister also taught Sister Chrysanthemum to make tofu."

"Even the Lu family came to buy tofu."

Grandma was worried about the money in the third sister's hand, beat and scolded her mother, and stripped her mother's clothes. Later, he hid at his uncle's house, and he escaped. If it weren't for the third sister, my mother and mother would have been beaten to death by my grandmother. ”

Two little guys, you say everything to me, say that they are suing, but what they say is the truth. By no means an exaggeration.

Yuan Li calmed down, wiped his tears and cried: "Your mother rushed into the room, rummaged through the boxes and asked me for money. If I can't take it out, hit me.

The money is in April's hands, but fortunately, April is holding the money. Otherwise, I finally saved some money, but my mother robbed it. In that case, our family will have to go hungry again. Seeing that he made money selling tofu in April, his father and mother pointed out that he must send rice and flour cloth in the New Year. For this, April spent thousands of dollars.

New Year's cloth is already expensive, buy ordinary cotton linen, your mother is not happy, just poke the backbone. You have to muslin to give up. Rice and flour must be finely grained, and rough grain is not wanted.

What can I do, after all, they are your father and mother, and they opened their mouths and said that this is to fulfill their filial piety for you, and they will inevitably be truthful, so they can only do it. You know I'm a no-brainer, and if it weren't for a few kids, I would have been wiped out with a rope a long time ago. ”

Thinking of the days when no one was a ghost or a ghost over the years, Yuan Li cried more and more sadly.

Yuan Chengwu hurriedly comforted and took out half of the money, "Now that our family has money, let's talk about a marriage to Da Lang." The marriage in April was also settled. Wait for the spring to start and renovate the house. The days will get better and better. ”

Yuan Li held the money, crying and laughing.

April was busy in the kitchen. She heard all the words that were spoken in the hall.

She yelled at the hall, "It's time to eat!" ”

The little four and five hurriedly set the table and served the dishes.

April carried a pot of gnocchi soup on the table, "Dad, big brother, you are coming back today, it is a big day." Originally, a jar of wine was going to be opened to celebrate. However, my father's leg was injured and he should not drink. ”

"Your leg is hurt, where is it? How I don't know. Yuan Li was anxious and panicked.

When her husband came back, everything was a mess, and the light was dim, so she didn't notice that his leg was hurting.

Yuan Chengwu soothed: "Don't listen to April's nonsense, my leg is very good." ”

Yuan Li was skeptical.

"Big brother, you say." April roll call.

The eldest Yuan Mancang was a taciturn young man, he frowned, and under April's gaze, he had to nod his head in acknowledgement.

"In the battle in September, in order to save people, my father's left leg was seriously injured. Fortunately, the person who saved him had a relationship and got good medicine, and his father's leg was saved, but he was also disabled. From now on, it's a bit lame to walk! ”

"Oh my!" Yuan Li shouted, looking like the sky was falling. My own man has become a cripple, how will he live in the future!

April's mind was full of questions.

In the previous life, my father's leg should have been injured in September. But he returned home in the fall of the following year.

Now, I came back more than half a year early, what's going on.

"How did you and Dad get back?"

"When I received your letter, my father and I were worried about our family. It took some money and a relationship to come back. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Daddy's injury, we wouldn't have come back so early. ”

April suddenly realized.

It turned out to be her letter that changed the trajectory of her father and brother.

"Did you really receive my letter? I thought the letter had been lost halfway through. April was overjoyed.

In the last life, my father and eldest brother only returned from the army in the autumn of the following year, and at that time, my father's leg was already very obviously disabled, and it was difficult to walk.

In this life, my father came back more than half a year early, and the problem in his leg did not seem serious, and he barely walked steadily. With good treatment, it should be salvageable.

Thankfully, her letter made her father and brother return home early.
