Chapter 249: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
After having breakfast at the Sheng family, Sheng Beicheng took the children to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the Xie family.
Xie Yiyan didn't come to pick it up today, so they chartered a tricycle and sat there. When they arrived at Xie's house, everyone had just gotten up for a short time.
Seeing that Sheng Beicheng's family had arrived, Xie Yiyan immediately pulled the child out of the bed and asked him to play with Dabao and Erbao.
Then the elders of the family also got up, called the children to their side, and one of them gave a big red envelope.
Holding the thick red envelope, Dabao thanked a few people, and then handed the red envelope to Yun Fanghua, "Mom, you can hold this red envelope for me." ”
"Okay, I'll hold it for you." Yun Fanghua laughed and put the red envelope in her pocket. Subsequently, she also gave a red envelope to Xie Yunian.
The lunch at Xie's house at noon was made by Yun Fanghua and Xie Yiyan's daughter-in-law.
After eating, they did not rush to leave. In the afternoon, people from the family came to pay New Year's greetings one after another, and it was a little strange to see Shengbei City. Because Sheng Beicheng is now more and more similar to Xie's father, even if the people of the Xie family don't say it, everyone can guess that Sheng Beicheng is Xie Linshan's son.
In the middle of the afternoon, Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua left with the children.
Xie Yiyan acted as a driver again and sent them back to Sheng Min'an's house. There were also people in the Sheng family who paid New Year's greetings, and when they saw Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua, they couldn't help asking, "Who are these two?" ”
"This is my son and daughter-in-law. I've been in my hometown before, and I just came here this year for the New Year. ”
When those people heard this, they were a little puzzled, but they didn't ask much. However, in their impression, Sheng Minan and Wang Hongmei have no children. It is precisely because there are no children and the elderly in the family are not around, that some people who want to take shortcuts cannot find opportunities.
Now seeing the third grandfather and the third grandmother and the Sheng Beicheng family, those people couldn't help but move, thinking that this opportunity had come.
But they didn't know that whether it was the third grandfather or the third grandmother, or the Sheng Beicheng family, they didn't plan to stay in the capital longer.
Sheng Beicheng's family is celebrating the New Year in the capital, but Maojialing seems a little quiet. Especially on the first day of the Lunar New Year today, because Sheng Beicheng's family was not there, Sheng Guoan and Zheng Fengying were very unwell.
In the past, every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua would take their children to pay New Year's greetings to them. It started with one, then two, and finally it became four.
When there are more children, the family is lively. Instead of being like now, the home was deserted. Now there are only three people left in the family, Sheng Guoan and his wife, plus a Sheng Beifeng. Sheng Beiyun also got married two years ago, although she didn't marry far, but the water spilled by her married daughter was already someone else's family, and she could only spend the New Year at her in-law's house.
Even if you come back, you won't be able to come back until the second day of the Lunar New Year. As for the second child, Sheng Beitang, he has been staying in the army, although he is also married and has children, he rarely comes back from vacation.
If he can't come back, his wife and children won't come back.
After all, it is better to Shengbei City, although the business is getting bigger and bigger, but still staying at home. Even if they have a house in the city, they will go back to their hometown from time to time. And if there is anything to find them, they will not refuse.
In such a comparison, it's still the boss. This made Sheng Guoan and Zheng Fengying regret it in their hearts. knew that the most filial piety was Sheng Beicheng, so they should have treated him better.
As time passes, fewer and fewer people come to pay their respects. Sheng Guoan looked at the time, it was already half past eleven. So, he looked at his wife sitting opposite him and asked, "Mom, what do you eat for lunch?" ”
"What to eat? Eat leftovers. Zheng Fengying replied lightly. At noon, the three of them ate, and she didn't bother to get any more dishes, so she brought out the dishes for yesterday's New Year and ate them.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law was in a bad mood, Sheng Guoan didn't say anything more. It's just that he sighed in his heart. He knew that his daughter-in-law was unhappy, and he didn't know why.
But what can be done, the eldest family has gone to the capital.
Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua didn't know that Sheng Guoan and Zheng Fengying missed them. Yun Fanghua helped Wang Hongmei cook dinner together in the evening. After returning to the room after eating, Yun Fanghua said to Sheng Beicheng, "Beicheng, let's go back to our own house tomorrow." ”
"What's the matter, it's not comfortable?" Sheng Beicheng asked with a smile.
"What do you say?" Yun Fanghua gently pinched Sheng Beicheng and said, "Although Mom's arrangement is quite good, how can I be comfortable in my own home." In your own home, you can do whatever you want, eat whatever you want. But it's different here, no matter what you do or what you eat, you have to get the consent of your parents. Besides, we don't have much time to contact them, and there is always a gap. ”
"Okay, I see. Tomorrow I'll go and tell my parents that we'll go back to live. As for grandpa and grandma, it depends on what they mean. If they want to, they will go back with us. It doesn't matter if they don't want to, they haven't seen their son for several years, and it's good to let them stay together a little longer. ”
The husband and wife talked for a while, and then went to rest.
On the other side, the third grandfather and the third grandmother are also not very comfortable. Although this bed is a big bed, it has to sleep four people, and it is not as comfortable as sleeping on the kang on the other side of the courtyard before.
Originally, they planned to stay at their son's house for a few more days to cultivate a good relationship with their son. Now it seems that it is better to forget it. I haven't seen each other for a few years, even if it's their son, I always feel like I'm a layer apart. It's better to be comfortable with Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua and them only.
Therefore, the two elders discussed it and decided to go back to live in the courtyard. If the son has a heart, go over and see them, if he doesn't, forget it. Anyway, Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua said that when they get old in the future, they will provide for their old age.
For this, the second elder has never doubted. They knew that both Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua were kind-hearted, and they could even forgive Zheng Fengying, so how could they not provide for their old age.
For a long time, the second child felt that they were right to return to their hometown from the provincial capital. In their hometown, they were much more comfortable than when they were in the provincial capital. Although I have to help with the work, it is not a heavy work.
Not to mention, Yun Fanghua added a few great-grandchildren to them, which brought them a lot of happiness.
Sheng Beicheng and Yun Fanghua didn't know the plans of the second elder. After breakfast the next day, Sheng Beicheng quietly found the second elder and told them what they were going to do. As soon as she heard this, the third grandmother said directly, "I'm also discussing with your grandfather about going home to live." In that case, then don't talk about it, I'll say it, so as not to make your father feel uncomfortable. ”
