Since it was only a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Xu was particularly busy at night in the past two days: decorating the house, researching recipes, and preparing food for the New Year. She also had to wash all kinds of bedding, so she bought several new sets of bedding and washed them and put new ones on each room. I also have to help Lin Zhiyuan in the house and wash the curtains and sheets. When Grandma called, she was busy washing the sheets. Grandma tried to probe and asked, "Xu, when are you on vacation?" Are you coming back for the Chinese New Year? Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and forgot about this stubble. So she put down the sheets in her hand and said to her grandmother: "Grandma, I told you, I have godfathers and godmothers who are coming to me for the New Year, so I can't go back for the New Year, but I will go back to see you when I have time in the New Year." If you miss something, you call me and I'll have someone send you there. Grandma let out a little lost "oh" and then said again: "Well, your godfather and godmother are your nobles, and you will treat people well!" ”

Chen Zhigang heard his stepmother calling next to him, he put down the remote control in his hand and asked, "What do you mean?" Isn't she coming back for the New Year? Grandma Chen sighed, didn't say anything, and walked silently to the kitchen. She knew in her heart that if Chen Zhigang was not at home, Chen Xu would come back more diligently, and maybe he would be able to come back for the New Year. But what's the solution? This time Chen Zhigang came back, although he was not as arrogant as before, but it was still not easy to mess with. Alas, I'm getting old, so let's live one day at a time! Fortunately, Chen Xu has a conscience and often comes back to deliver food, otherwise his own money would not be able to provide food for two people at all, and Chen Zhigang would not take living expenses at all, what kind of sin is this, do you have to support him when he is young?

The Liu family of three arrived the night before Chinese New Year's Eve, when Chen Xu was cooking meat. The arrival of the three people, not only Chen Xu, but even Lin Zhiyuan was very happy.

Looking at the three of them holding big bags of things, Chen Xu said: "Oh, Dad, Mom, I said it, there is no shortage of anything at home, what are you doing with so many things?" Liu Weiguo said with a smile: "This time we are going to stay for a few more days, these things are issued by the unit, and we are afraid of them at home, take here, let's eat together!" Because there are many things, Liu Weiguo and Liu Jingsheng each drove a car. Han Hui bought a few sets of new clothes for Chen Xu, saying that the baby girl had to wear new clothes for the New Year.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Xu's house was lively. With his parents and two older brothers, Chen Xu felt unprecedented satisfaction. The firecrackers outside are one after another. Several people had to speak louder to be heard. After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Xu stood by the window, looking at the ceremonial flowers outside, and couldn't help but think of Han Yidao and Wu Sixian, remembering the Spring Festival three years ago, when she was also very happy, she silently recited in front of the bed: Han Yidao, you must be happy; Grandma, I wish you a long and healthy life!

The new year is Lin Zhiyuan's natal year, and Chen Xu carefully prepared red underwear and a red belt for him. Lin Zhiyuan's hands were shaking when he took it, and Chen Xu thought it was his dazzling illusion. Lin Zhiyuan said that he went back to the house to change, he ran into the room that Chen Xu had prepared for him, and desperately struggled to raise his head with wide eyes so that tears did not fall. A scene from twelve years ago suddenly appeared in front of me: his mother took out a set of bright red underwear and a red belt and handed it to him and said, "Zhiyuan, you can change it!" It's good to wear red in the natal year, please be lucky! Lin Zhiyuan disagreed, "Mom, you are still a teacher!" Why are you so superstitious! What does a big man look like in red! Mother is still softly persuading: "Zhiyuan, put it on tonight!" Although this is an old tradition, isn't it a traditional custom for us to celebrate the New Year? Next year, your natal year, as the old saying goes, is trivial, let's wear a red to avoid evil, and eliminate disasters! While he was talking, Lin Zhiyuan's phone rang one after another text message prompts. At that time, people were still accustomed to text messages to greet the New Year, so Lin Zhiyuan picked up the phone to read the text messages and replied one by one. Mother went to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and did not forget to prepare clothes and don't forget to put them on. Lin Zhiyuan didn't take this incident seriously, he still didn't wear it that night, and that year, Lin Zhiyuan lost his mother and everything.

Lin Zhiyuan hugged his clothes tightly, and his whole body was shaking, if I put on red clothes that day, everything would not have happened. Lin Zhiyuan was never willing to say if, but this time he broke the defense.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, Chen Xu knocked on the door outside and said, "Big brother, have you changed it?" Let's make dumplings together. Lin Zhiyuan hurriedly responded: "It's okay right away, it's coming!" ”

This year, Chen Xu received the most red envelopes, and her parents, parents and two brothers filled her with big red envelopes. Chen Xu looked at a bunch of red envelopes and said with a smile, I want to send them like this! At two or three o'clock in the morning, a few people were still having fun, five people sat around the coffee table and played poker, whether they won or lost, Chen Xu was very happy, and this peaceful atmosphere made several people unbearable.

When it was almost dawn, a few people felt a little tired, Chen Xu quickly stood up and asked everyone to rest, she said to Lin Zhiyuan: "Big brother, you also live here, I have cleaned up the room." Lin Zhiyuan looked at Chen Xu, reached out and touched her head, "Okay!" Listen to you. He knew that Chen Xu was afraid that he would be cold and lonely when he went back, and he would be disappointed in his heart.

Because it was originally Lin Zhiyuan's house, he was very familiar with everywhere, and he smiled with satisfaction when he saw that Chen Xu had changed him with new curtains and bedding. At the sporadic sound of firecrackers outside, Lin Zhiyuan fell asleep with a smile. It's been more than ten years, and for the first time on the night of the New Year, he slept with a smile.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family got up a little late, and even Liu Weiguo, who has always had a very regular schedule, got up a little late. Chen Xu smiled and said, "Dad, if you get up one day late in a year, you should give yourself a day off." Liu Weiguo smiled, "My girl is right, it's the Spring Festival, it's a holiday!" ”

After eating dumplings in the morning, Lin Zhiyuan still went back to his house, because Gao Shan and Guo Jian were coming to pay New Year's greetings. He called Chen Xu and said that everyone would meet together, so as not to have to greet each other again in the New Year.

Waiting for the New Year's greetings to go back, Lin Zhiyuan didn't say a word, and pulled Chen Xu back to the house full of family warmth. Chen Xu found that this time, Liu Jingsheng and Lin Zhiyuan were no longer-for-tat, but could get along harmoniously, and sometimes they would sit together and chat.

Because everyone persuaded Liu Weiguo on New Year's Day, this time he was not in a hurry to go back to work, and he took a break until the end of the holiday, and even a little unsatisfied, he sighed: "It is indeed easy for people to indulge in enjoying their families!" ”

However, not long after Liu Weiguo went back, he told Chen Xu that he still felt that he should do more beneficial things in his lifetime, and it was too early to provide for the elderly. But Han Hui transferred the beauty salon, and when video chatting with Chen Xu, Han Hui said: "Although your father has always warned me not to seek personal gain in his name, I am also strict with myself." But in fact, the best period of my beauty salon business was when your father came back to be the deputy mayor. Recently, your dad has just been in the second line, and the results are immediate, and the turnover immediately fell off a cliff. Now your brother can support himself, and your father and I can't spend too much money, and what we have is enough for now, and I don't want to spend so much energy. In the future, let's live a free life, since your father still wants to continue to work, then I will be a good wife and mother at home! ”

Chen Xu felt that it was really difficult to have two ways in the world, if she went to her parents, there would be her parents and brother, as well as Han Yidao and her grandmother, but she couldn't bear to leave Lin Zhiyuan alone here, not to mention that she also had friends here. Lin Zhiyuan has a bright appearance, but Chen Xu understands the loneliness and loneliness in his heart, and she really can't bear to leave him alone. Chen Xu is also very strange sometimes, others say that there is no real friendship between men and women, but he was friends with Liu Jingsheng for a period of time, and then became a brother and sister, and then had Lin Zhiyuan, the eldest brother, although in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of non-brother and sister is criticized, but Chen Xu likes the feeling of being a relative very much, she is not afraid of rumors, she just wants to enjoy the current life.
