Chapter 218: Reunion
Xinlan came back after delivering the letter, and not long after, Fusheng also came back from the old man. Seeing him come back, Xinlan hurriedly asked about the situation. Fusheng smiled: "I didn't help anything, I just talked to our parents for a while." When I asked them, it turned out that they had gone to buy noodles and oil yesterday, and Lu Nan dragged them back, and there was no shortage of others at the moment, and the bits and pieces that should have been prepared had already been bought in advance, and the rest was nothing more than buying meat, buying New Year's guns and couplets. ”
"Well, they started early enough, but also, we are back this year, if we don't go back, it will be difficult for them to go to the grain store to buy it when they arrive, after all, Xinjun They live far away, and they don't have time, so it's too late to come back from vacation." Xinlan said, but as soon as she finished speaking, she asked as if she remembered something: "Then they didn't say that Xinjun went back for the New Year?" ”
"Didn't say it! But if you think about it, they don't usually come back, and they live far away, so when they get here, how can they go back? Lu Nan lives there, and they can't live when they go back, not to mention that there are several people, maybe it's with them! I thought that you were here, and they just happened to be clean. ”
"You're making excuses and talking nonsense!" Xinlan disagreed with Fusheng's wild speculation.
"Nonsense? Have you forgotten what Da Ling said that time, do you still treat you as an eldest sister? "Fusheng turned over the old accounts.
"That's that, it's now, I don't know if I think we won't fight with her or what, in short, Da Ling is no longer like that. Let's just say that a few days ago, after Lu Dong and Liu Qin went to recognize the door, they also came over and took a turn! ”
"It's good to change it, think about it, why bother? Before we could say to fight, she began to guard against us, which really hurt my heart! For them, my current thought is that they must first respect you, who is a sister, otherwise she will look down on us, and we will look down on her! "Fusheng is still a little stubborn.
"Don't think nonsense, isn't that Xinjun not at home? Speaking of which, I still complain that we have been away from our parents for too long! It's good after this, let's come back, and let this younger generation see each other more when it's okay, walk around, and slowly get closer. ”
"That's right, in fact, I just said that, the past is over, you don't say it as a sister, I won't say it anymore, save it awkward, let alone a family, the days to come will be long!" Fusheng didn't take it seriously, and when he heard that Xinlan didn't take it seriously, he also got off the donkey downhill.
The two were talking, Xinlan saw that the time was not early, and she was ready to cook here, but before she turned around and walked away, Fusheng suddenly thought of one more thing, so she said: "Well, by the way, there is also Xiaocun and Xiaohua going to school, our father has gone to talk about it." ”
"Well, that's great, you don't have to worry about it after the New Year." Xinlan said happily.
"Who said it, isn't this still me? You should go to work, you should go to school, I have nothing to do after the New Year! ”
"You! Besides, I've been working for decades, and if I don't work, I'll rest for two days. ”
"You didn't say that! You all have a job, and do you think it's possible for me, the head of the family, to rest at home? ”
"How could it not be? If you don't believe it, you can go and rest now, I'll go cook, and when it's ready, I'll call you to eat! Xinlan smiled and joked, and at the same time turned around and prepared to cook.
When Fusheng saw it, he knew that Xinlan didn't take her own affairs to heart, so he didn't want to say more, so he waved her hand and said, "Go ahead!" Go ahead! It's useless to talk to you, it seems that I can only worry about my own affairs! ”
"You don't worry about who?!" Xinlan replied, turned around and went into the kitchen to cook. Fusheng knew that she was joking, but he didn't take it to heart, went back to the house and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Lu Dong took a holiday. As soon as Xinlan saw it, she and Fusheng replaced the children, and then led by Lu Dong, called Lu Nan, went to her uncle's house to go to her aunt's house, and sent the melon seeds and peanuts prepared by the two of them at the same time, it was also regarded as a New Year's greeting in advance.
At this time, it happened that the car and things that were consigned before Fusheng came also arrived, so the next day, Lu Dong led the sisters to get the things back. In response to that sentence, there are many people with great strength and more manpower, so naturally nothing will be delayed, Xinlan and Fusheng freed up their hands and took the time to implement the lack of their parents and the New Year's goods to be purchased on their side; In the store, the sisters were united, and the business was not pulled at all. The good thing is that the family's New Year's clothes have been available when Lu Dong got married, and there is no need to buy them again, so it saves a lot of things. Follow, day by day, day by day, shopping malls, bazaars, crowds of people, bustling, lively, with the couplet pasted, the street from time to time firecrackers sound, the atmosphere of the New Year is more prominent, the streets and alleys are filled with the atmosphere of the festival.
Since Xinlan's family moved back to their hometown, they have not spent the Spring Festival in the city for more than ten years. Now this time, for the children, all this is full of novelty, everyone wants to go to the street to visit the mall, visit the park, but because of the shackles of business, in the past few days, Lu Dong and Liu Qin can only stay in the store. Lu Nan is better at the old man's place, and he is not in a hurry to have a TV. But Xiaocun and Xiaohua sisters were bored, so they also ran to join in the fun when their parents let them send New Year's goods to their grandparents. Fortunately, the time of these three or two days is short, everyone is busy, but it is also lively and fulfilling. With the firecrackers sounding on the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, after eating reunion dumplings, the New Year has passed.
Chinese New Year is a festival for children, and this is especially true for a few children who have just arrived in this big city. After eating dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year, a few of them rode in the car to their grandmother, saying that it was a New Year's greeting, but in fact, they went to Lu Nan to go to the park to play together. Fusheng and Xinlan knew that the children were already older, so they didn't ask much, and after telling them, they let them go out until they were tired of running and came back for dinner in the afternoon.
On the second day of the new year, Xinlan, who was worried about the safety of the store, got up early in the morning to see the situation in the square, and saw that the theater posted a trailer at some time saying that from the third day of the new year for a week until the tenth day of the new year, a new film a day, three consecutive screenings every day. Xinlan watched it twice seriously, and knew that the Spring Festival movie had begun, so she couldn't help but feel energetic. But considering the mood of the children during this time, she beat the drum in her heart again. Heart, other people's children are running in the park during the Spring Festival, how can their own children be tied to the house? Not to mention that the family has just moved here, and Liuqin has just gotten married, so they should be allowed to relax anyway. Thinking so, she went back and told Fusheng what happened and what she thought.
When Fusheng heard this, he readily agreed, and told the children. When the children heard about it, they couldn't have been happier. So a few discussed, led by Lu Dong, and took advantage of the stall where his parents led him to his grandfather's and grandparents' house in the morning, called Lu Nan, quit his parents and the old man, and rode into the car and went to other parks to play, completely no longer thinking about the problem of eating at noon. However, this also happened to make room for the two Xinjun who went home together for a long time and the Xinmei family who returned to the door with relatives, seeing that only a few of them arrived, Xinlan greeted her: "Where are the children?" ”
"Da Ling thought they were noisy, so she didn't let them follow." Xinjun said.
"I two, their big children are looking for to play, and they can't come back, and we don't have the time to wait for them." Xinmei said as she put the things in her hand.
"Look at what you say! The New Year was originally for children, and they are all here, lively! Just a few of you adults, what a hard time! The old lady said strangely.
"Don't stand and talk, go into the house and sit there." The old man stood at the door of the inner room and wanted to come out, but saw that the outhouse restaurant was full of people, and there was no place for his own feet, so he urged everyone to enter the house.
When the people heard this, they hurried into the house one by one. Xinlan didn't follow up in the end, and when she saw everyone enter the house and vacate the floor of the restaurant, she opened the table and brought a tea tray over, ready to make tea for everyone. She was busy here, everyone in the house had already sat down, and seeing that she hadn't come in, Da Ling shouted through the door: "Sister, why don't you see you!" ”
"How many of me? You'll see it a little earlier. They should have arrived at Two Lakes Park by now. Xinlan poured tea in response.
"Went to the park? Also, should they be allowed to go around and celebrate the New Year? They should be given some freedom, let them touch the ground, and the unfamiliar ones of the province get lost. Xinmei's husband said.
"Yes! Otherwise, this time, Sister Kai will urge the children to go to the two of you to recognize the door first, the purpose is to facilitate their younger generation in the future. Fusheng said.
"Yes! But it's just right that the kids aren't there today! Xinjun said.
"What's going on?!" Xinmei was the first to ask, followed by the old lady who also asked.
"What's right? I mean, my sister and their family came back for the first Spring Festival, and they should have found a restaurant to celebrate, but because of everyone's work, they didn't get together for a while. Isn't it? Xinjun said, greeting at Xinmei.
When Xinmei's husband saw it, he hurriedly said: "It just so happened that I brought two bottles of wine and some cooked food in a bag when I came over, and I drank them for a while." So saying, he went to get the bag.
When Xinjun heard this, he also said, "I also brought a little cooked food." So saying, go get the bag too.
Fusheng looked at it, smiled, and then said to the three women: "Then you can do it, don't let our mother do it again, the dishes will be sorted out first, and then the dumplings will be made." ”
"This is good, it's good to honor our parents! But I just want to ask, what are you doing here, what are you doing, just eat?! Da Ling said.
"Then I don't need to say, I'll drink it first!" Fusheng smiled, said politely, and got ready.
When the women saw it, they knew that it was impossible not to do it, and they immediately went to the kitchen to take action. As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and after a while, the cold dishes are put on the table. So the men sat around the table, and when they started drinking, they started to get busy with dumplings again. During the gossip, they couldn't help but talk about the help of Mrs. Sun's family, and everyone sighed at the adventures of Xinlan's family, and bluntly said that it was really Xinlan's blessing to meet Mrs. Sun's family. Naturally, while everyone praised it, they also wished Mrs. Sun, a good family, a smooth and prosperous life in the south.
