Two days before the Spring Festival, Grandma Wu called and invited Chen Xu to her house for the Spring Festival. Grandma Wu was also invited during the Spring Festival last year, but was politely declined by Chen Xu. This year, Grandma Wu spoke earnestly, and said that she was old and had few days to come, and she hoped that the Spring Festival would be more lively, so Chen Xu had to agree.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the mall was open until noon, and Han Yidao was already waiting for Chen Xu in the parking lot when he left work. When I arrived at Grandma Wu's house, I saw that there was a strong New Year's flavor everywhere, the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, a number of blessing characters were pasted in the house, red lanterns were hung on the balcony, small colored lights flashed in the house, and the coffee table was full of dried fruits and sweets.

When Grandma Wu saw Chen Xu, she said happily: "Xiao Xu, come and warm up." Han Yidao took off his coat, changed his shoes and hurriedly went to the kitchen to stir-fry. Chen Xu said a few words to Grandma Wu, and seeing that Han Yidao was busy, he said, "Grandma, I'll go and help cook!" The old lady happily said let's go.

Chen Xu went to the kitchen to see that many dishes had been prepared in advance, and only two green vegetables were left unfried. Han Yidao: "I have cut the dishes in advance, and they will be ready soon, you go and set the dishes and chopsticks, and serve these finished dishes first." Chen Xu hurried to action when he heard this.

When Han Yidao finished the remaining two dishes, the three of them sat around the table. The old man asked Han Yidao to pour the wine that had been awakened, she picked up the glass, and said to the two young people: "Children, today is my happiest day in recent years, it is good to have the two of you accompany me as an old woman for the New Year, I wish you two a great future, all your wishes come true, you must believe that the best is waiting for you, come, we have a toast for a better future!" ”

Chen Xu hadn't drunk alcohol, she looked at the wine glass with only a sip of red wine, and thought to herself that it was fortunate that it wasn't full, otherwise what would she do if she was drunk? She drank it like an old man, this wine was not as spicy as she imagined, and it was smoother in her throat.

Han Yidao constantly helped his grandmother and Chen Xu pick up vegetables, and the happy atmosphere was like a family of three. This meal made Chen Xu taste the taste of the New Year. Since the age of five, Chen Xu no longer knows what the New Year is like, the sound of firecrackers, the lights of other people's houses and laughter, just let him experience the coldness and helplessness more deeply.

This is the right way to open the New Year, and this situation is what the Spring Festival should look like!

After eating, Chen Xu wanted to help clean up the table, but the old man pulled her and said, "Let Yidao clean up, the big man should take on more responsibilities." Chen Xu had no choice but to help the old man leave the table and sit down on the sofa. Half an hour later, Han Yidao came out of the kitchen and brought over the tea as usual.

Seeing Han Yidao coming, the old man smiled and said, "Take Xiaoxu to her room to have a look, and by the way, you will also offer treasures." Han Yidao put down the tea, ignored his grandmother's ridicule, and pulled Chen Xu to the door of the house where she lived, and when Chen Xu came to accompany the old man, he lived in this room. Han Yidao pushed open the door, Chen Xu was stunned at first glance, she walked in slowly, the room was not large, but it was brand new. The curtains and bedding were all renewed, and there were a few Fu Doll dolls on the bed, and the most striking thing was that there were a few folded red underwear on the bed, and a red belt was placed on it.

Han Yidao pushed her to the side of the bed, pointed to the underwear on the bed and said, "It's about to be your natal year, grandma said that you should wear red clothes in your natal year, you can change into it in a while!" Chen Xu looked at the unpackaged underwear on the bed, and then looked at Han Yidao, could it be that this guy helped him open it? Han Yidao didn't see Chen Xu's embarrassment at all, and was still there to ask for credit, "Don't worry, I've washed it for you, grandma said that underwear can't be worn directly, you have to pass the water first." Chen Xu looked at him in disbelief, "You helped me wash it?" Han Yidao didn't understand what she meant, and explained innocently, "What's wrong with my washing, don't underestimate people!" I've washed it by hand several times, and it's definitely clean, so you can wear it with confidence. Chen Xu held his forehead with his hand, and he was really speechless.

Han Yidao opened the bedside table and took out a string of ruby bracelets to continue to offer treasures, "Look at this red bracelet, is it good-looking?" There is also this red scarf, it is cashmere, I didn't dare to wash the scarf, I'm afraid that it won't look good if it shrinks or fades, you wear it for a few days to celebrate and festive, and then wash it. ”

Chen Xu couldn't bear his thoughtfulness a little, "Han Yidao, don't be like this, I ......" Han Yidao suddenly understood what Chen Xu wanted to say next, and interrupted her, "By the way, grandma also has a gift for you." As he spoke, he pulled her out of the house, "Grandma, didn't you say that you had a gift for Chen Xu?" The old man was obviously ready, took out an antique box from under the coffee table, and handed it to Chen Xu. Chen Xu couldn't accept the enthusiasm of the two ancestors and grandchildren, and wanted to excuse himself, but Han Yidao hurriedly took it over and helped open it, only to see that there was a jade bracelet and a jade plate inside. Chen Xu didn't understand jade, but she knew that the old man's gift must be worth a lot, so she hurriedly said: "Grandma, I can't wear these things, you can keep them yourself!" The old man said happily: "Child, as the saying goes: wear gold to show wealth, wear jade to keep safe." It's your natal year soon, so put on the peace and security card first! As for bracelets, you can wear them whenever you like! ”

Chen Xu still wanted to excuse himself, but the old man looked at her seriously and said, "Child, Yu and others are destined." Come, I'll help you put on the safe and sound card. Chen Xu obediently walked up to the old man and squatted down, Han Yidao hurriedly handed the jade card to his grandmother, and the old man helped Chen Xu put it on and touched her head, "Child, everything will get better and better, you have to believe this." As he spoke, he pulled Chen Xu up. Han Yidao hurriedly handed the box containing the jade bracelet to Chen Xu, Chen Xu looked at him, and then looked at Grandma Wu, "Grandma, I am still in school, and I can't wear the bracelet for the time being, I am afraid that it will be broken, and I am afraid that I will lose such a valuable thing with me, otherwise you should help me keep it!" Grandma Wu smiled and said, "I won't take back what I sent out." Chen Xu couldn't help it, and looked at Han Yidao again and said, "Then you can help me keep it." Han Yidao nodded again and again, "Don't worry, when the bank is open, I will send it to the safe." When Chen Xu heard this, sure enough, this bracelet was very expensive, and it was just right to put it in Han Yidao's hand. This nothing-to-do card is the old man's best wishes to himself, and he accepted it, and he can't ask for anything about the bracelet.

Chen Xu felt that he should give a gift when he entered the door, but he forgot about it when he was busy, and now he is a little passive. She hurriedly ran to the side of the shoe cabinet and brought her backpack over, and said a little embarrassedly, "Grandma, I also have a small gift for you." As he spoke, he took out a silk scarf from his bag. In fact, this silk scarf is a Spring Festival gift issued by the mall to each salesperson, and everyone happily went to the women's clothing department to choose, and Chen Xu chose a suitable one for Grandma Wu at that time. In this situation, Chen Xu took out this silk scarf and was a little embarrassed, although the silk scarf was not too cheap, but after all, he didn't buy it with his own money, and he felt a little insincere. After receiving the silk scarf, she thought that she hadn't given Han Yidao a gift yet, so she bought him a wallet wallet in the men's clothing department where she worked, but she didn't expect a simple wallet to cost hundreds of yuan, but when she thought that it was not good to go to someone's house for the New Year, she gritted her teeth and bought it. Chen Xu looked at the exquisite box of the wallet, and thought to himself, this box takes up a lot of money, right?

Grandma Wu took the silk scarf handed over by Chen Xu, happily wrapped it around her neck, and said with a smile: "Not bad, I like it very much." Yidao, what do you think? Look good! ”

Grandma Wu and Chen Xu looked at Han Yidao together, only to see Han Yidao looking at Chen Xu with blank eyes and not speaking.
