"Why not?" Gu Yijia said, "Don't worry, I have a place to live at home, you can live there, we can also burn the kang there, and it is very warm to sleep at night, you can stay as long as you want." ”

Hu Lao was moved by what he heard, but he still did not want to disturb others.

He was a lonely old man, accustomed to being alone, and the troops had not thought of asking him to go to the festival all these years, but he refused.

"Grandpa Hu, what's this, Head Feng is also celebrating the New Year at my house." Gu Yijia sighed, "If you don't come, we will all remember you in our hearts, and this year will be boring." ”

Hu Lao listened very warmly and said with a smile: "In previous years, I have lived like this, what is this?" ”

"Previous years are previous years, but this year I'm here, so I can't let you celebrate the New Year alone!" Gu Yijia pursed her lips, "If you don't come, I won't celebrate the New Year with Head Feng." ”

Feng Rin was a little confused, what did this matter to him? Why can't he celebrate the New Year with his partner?

Hu Lao laughed when he heard this, and when he saw Feng Rin staring at him tightly, he was really helpless, "Okay, okay, I'll go too." ”

Gu Yijia suddenly stood up happily and urged: "Oh, then let's go to the dormitory quickly, pack some clothes for you, and go straight over." ”

Hu Lao couldn't help but shake his head.

The longer he got along, the more he found himself looking away.

It was true that the little girl looked soft and weak, but she was so fiery and lively, and that mouth was sometimes sweet and sharp, and she told her everything.

Gu Yijia and Feng Rin accompanied Hu Lao to the dormitory to pack up their things.

There are also doctors and their families on the other side of the dormitory, all busy with the New Year.

Seeing that Hu Lao brought a pair of young men and women over, he quickly recognized Head Feng and Gu Yijia, and greeted them with a smile and asked them why they came.

With a comfortable smile on his face, Hu Lao said, "These two children are afraid that I will be alone, so they specially took me to the army for the New Year." ”

When the people heard this, they said, "Ouch, they have a heart." ”

"That's how it should be, you go there for a good New Year, and it's not too late to come back after the third day of the new year, it's not in a hurry."

……

The doctors, you and I are urging him to go to the New Year.

Hu Lao was a highly respected senior, and the doctors in the hospital believed in him and respected him.

Now that there are no patients in the hospital, they all want the elderly to have a good rest, to spend the New Year with the juniors, and to have someone to take care of them, and they are more at ease.

went back to the dormitory to pack up his things, Gu Yijia and Feng Rin were alone, helping Hu Lao to leave.

Looking at this posture, it seems that the young man is very filial and respectful.

However, Hu Lao quickly removed Gu Yijia's hand and said to Feng Rin: "Feng boy, you go and help you, my old man doesn't need you to help." ”

Although he is indeed old, he attaches great importance to health preservation, and when he walks, he is more stable than Gu Yijia, a young man, and he is not afraid at all.

Gu Yijia was about to say something, when suddenly the soles of her feet slipped, but fortunately, Captain Feng helped her in time and didn't let her fall.

Hu Lao put his hands behind his back and said faintly: "Sure enough, you young people are not as good as my old people." ”

Gu Yijia: "......"

Sitting in the car, Gu Yijia was still unconvinced: "When I get my body right, I will be able to walk faster and more steadily than you." ”

"Really?" Hu Lao Shi glanced at her with a smile, "Then you have to work hard." ”

Although he was an old man, he was not the kind of old man who could only sit still, and when he was young, as a military doctor, he also went out to drill and train with the soldiers. Now that I'm older, I don't exercise as much as I did when I was younger, but I still pay attention to exercising.

Seeing that she was not convinced, Hu Lao smiled, "Another day, I will teach you some exercises to strengthen your body, maybe your body can be stronger." ”

"Really?" Gu Yijia instantly put aside everything else and said with a smile, "Then I want to practice with Grandpa Hu." ”

Feng Rin was driving in front, listening to the chat between the two of them, an old man and a young man in the back, his sharp eyebrows and eyes softened.

The car drove to the family home, Feng Rin helped the subject and Hu Lao get out of the car, carried their luggage, and personally sent them home.

Chen Aifang and Gu Mingcheng were very surprised to see that they had really invited Hu Lao over to celebrate the New Year together, and the two children also obediently called Grandpa.

Hu Lao smiled and gave the two children a meeting gift.

At noon, they sat down for a lively lunch.

After lunch, Gu Yijia and Hu Lao both went to take a nap, while the others continued to be busy.

Gu Yijia slept very deeply, and woke up after sleeping for an hour.

When she woke up, she found that Hu Lao and Gu Mingcheng were making dumplings together, Feng Rin took the two children to paste couplets, and Chen Aifang was busy in the kitchen.

Gu Yijia looked at it and chose to paste the couplet.

When Baoshan saw her coming, he gave them this task very intimately and left with his sister.

"Let's go and help Daddy make dumplings." He said to his sister.

Baohua's eyes rolled, "Brother, you go and help Dad and Grandpa make dumplings, and I'll help Mom make the fire!" ”

Dumplings are raw and cannot be eaten directly, but there are many snacks that have already been prepared in the kitchen, so it is better to go to help my mother and take the opportunity to eat more.

Gu Yijia followed the head of the regiment Feng to paste the couplet, which was cut out of red paper by himself and asked someone in the team to write it.

Gu Yijia felt that the person who wrote the couplet must be a person with a very good cultural foundation, and he could write very well with a brush.

Of course, in these years, the calligraphy of the old school is very good.

Gu Yijia stood at the door, looking up at Feng Rin's couplet, originally wanted to help him see if there was any crooked sticking, but she didn't expect that Feng Tuanchang would post a couplet, just like he had measured, neatly and neatly.

"You're sticking too right, aren't you?" She said in surprise.

Head Feng turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "It's very simple to post this." ”

Head Feng couldn't imagine why a couplet could still be pasted crookedly, and that the couplet should not be pasted quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, and it was very square horizontally and vertically.

Gu Yijia felt that Captain Feng was simply Versailles.

Gu Yijia was useless, obediently holding the couplet and following him.

After pasting the couplet, the two went to wash their hands and help make dumplings.

When they were almost done, Feng Rin and Gu Mingcheng were ready to go out, and said to them: "When you are hungry, you can eat first, don't wait for us, we will eat some in the cafeteria." ”

During the Chinese New Year, there were also activities on the part of the troops.

Those soldiers who are not married or whose families are not in the unit will gather together to make dumplings and have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, so that the soldiers can have a lively New Year.

As the head of the regiment, Feng Rin and Gu Mingcheng naturally had to participate and be responsible for the arrangements.

After the two left, the house seemed to be much more deserted all of a sudden.

Chen Aifang quickly cheered up again, compared to previous years, at least this year, Lao Gu will celebrate the New Year with them, just come back later, nothing.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Chen Aifang said to Hu Lao: "You don't need to be busy, you are almost ready, you can sit in the living room for a while." ”

Then he asked Gu Yijia to talk to him in the living room.

Gu Yijia took Baohua and went to the living room to talk to Hu Lao, amused by Baohua, the child of the ghost horse elf, and soon bursts of laughter came from time to time in the living room.

In the evening, snow began to fall in the sky again.

Gu Yijia originally only subconsciously looked out, just happened to see the falling snow, and said, "It's snowing." ”

Soon the snow began to fall, and the sky gradually darkened.

Hu Lao glanced at it and said, "Ruixue is a good year, and next year will be a good year." ”

Gu Yijia smiled and agreed.

Baohua asked, "Grandpa, will there be a lot of food next year?" ”

In the little girl's heart, eating is the most important thing, hunger is the most terrible, and a good year also means that there will be a lot of food.

"Yes." Hu Lao smiled and said, "Our country will get better and better." ”

Gu Yijia agreed.

No one is more qualified to nod her head than her, because she has indeed seen the prosperity of their country in the afterlife, the great harvest of grain, and the feeding of countless people, which is the contribution and pursuit of a certain amiable and respectable old man all his life.

Not long after, Chen Aifang came out with a hot pot and shouted, "It's time to eat." ”

There was a table in the living room, on which there was a small stove, and in the stove there was a boiling charcoal fire, and the soup in the copper pot on the stove was gurgling and emitting a tempting fragrance.

The weather is cold, and it is best to eat pots.

The pot is based on chicken broth, and there are all kinds of dishes in it, including bacon, bacon and preserved fish, as well as fresh mutton, pork and beef, cut into slices, and you only need to put them in the pot and brush them a few times to eat. There are also radish chips, potato chips, Chinese cabbage, sweet potato vermicelli, and so on.

The fragrant pot, with the meat and the vegetarian, is a very hearty year.

In these years, there are not many materials, and there are not many cuisines for the New Year, and there is not even a ceremony to worship ancestors. Celebrating the New Year in the army is different from that in the village, so we can't do that, and everyone just wants to do it simply, having a reunion dinner together.

It's about eating whatever you want, and that's what most people do.

Halfway through the meal, Gu Mingcheng and Feng Rin also returned.

"You're back just in time, we haven't finished eating yet, so let's come together." Chen Aifang said in surprise.

The two of them first took off their snow-stained military coats, hung them aside, and then washed their hands and faces with hot water before sitting down.

Feng Rin sat next to Gu Yijia, and on his other side was Hu Lao.

Gu Yijia filled him with a bowl of soup and asked, "Is it cold?" Drink some soup to warm up your body first. ”

Chen Aifang over there was also the same, serving Gu Mingcheng a bowl of soup, and they walked all the way back from the cafeteria, it was snowing again, and it must have been cold.

Feng Rin said in a low voice: "It's not cold, it's just a little hungry." ”

"You didn't eat there?" Gu Yijia asked in surprise.

Captain Feng said: "Those people were having a good time, I drank some rice wine with them, and I didn't have time to eat." This is said with a bit of grievance, to complain to the object.

Gu Yijia was really distressed, and kept serving him vegetables, worried that he would be hungry.

Gu Mingcheng on the other side felt that he didn't see it, and he didn't eat much, so he didn't complain to his daughter-in-law.

He turned to Chen Aifang and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm hungry and I haven't eaten much, and those guys are making trouble......

Chen Aifang said calmly: "Okay, then you eat more." ”

As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of chicken and told him to eat it slowly.
