In the late winter and early spring of another year, coinciding with the New Year's Festival, things in the Rong clan were a little calmer, and Rong Xun sent someone to take Guan Yingshan and Rong Lian back, wanting to reunite as a family and have a good New Year.

Although he would come to see their mother and son when he was free, Rong Lian didn't like his father.

In his eyes, Rong Xun's whole person was in a hurry, coming and going in a hurry, rarely staying in the Guan family for a long time, and even, so hurried that Rong Lian hadn't even remembered his voice and appearance clearly, not to mention, if he was really concerned, why would he send them back to the Guan family, anyway, his father's impression was too vague for him.

It's like a cold moon hanging high in the sky, hanging there far away.

Therefore, he was not so concerned about whether he could return to Rong's house, but Guan Yingshan was extremely happy, his eyes lit up, and even his smile increased a lot.

Rong Lian could see that Guan Yingshan was happy in his heart.

Her husband was coming to pick her up.

She thought the Rong family would accept her.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Guan Yingshan happily prepared some gifts and wanted to take them back to Rong's house.

Rong Lian was inexplicably particularly reluctant to go out this time, as if it was a bad thing to return to the Rong family, but in order not to sweep Guan Yingshan's interest, he nodded and did not refuse this matter.

Before leaving, the carriage that picked them up was already waiting outside the door as agreed, and the family members were loading the accompanying things into the carriage, and his grandmother was dressed up and standing at the door to see them off.

Grandma Guan didn't know if she felt that there was some typhoid fever in Nianguan's ancestors and grandchildren, and her eyes were full of reluctance and sadness, she pulled Rong Pian and stuffed a small golden lock into his hand, engraved with the words "long life and 100 years old".

It seems to have been prepared for a long time, carefully crafted, and exceptionally delicate and lovely.

"Take it away, don't you want to celebrate the New Year, grandma gave you a New Year's lock, bless you, be healthy and live a long life!"

He nodded, smiled obediently and thanked him.

Grandma rubbed his head lovingly.

However, no matter how good the meaning of the lock is, his heart is inopportune to remember that when he went out shopping with Guan Yingshan last year, Guan Yingshan entered the silk shop at the end of the street to select materials for him to make new clothes.

There is no impatience, just stand quietly.

The youngest son of the owner of the silk shop is a little chubby, with a small face and a meaty face, like a small meat ball that can run, and the same group of children laughed and played with firecrackers outside the shop, and when they saw him by chance, they all smiled and surrounded him.

The little fat dun pinched his waist, pointed at him proudly, and said, "Oh, isn't this the little medicine jar of the Guan family?"

The other children laughed around him as if they were laughing.

There was a little girl with pigtails behind the little chubby dun, looking at him timidly, and then stepped back a little, and the rough rag doll in her hand fell to the ground and didn't dare to pick it up, and said in a milky voice: "My mother said, let me not talk to him, he has tuberculosis, and talking to him will be infectious!"

"Ahh

Xiao Fat Dun didn't run alone, and showed his spirit as the king of children, Xiao Fat waved his hand and laughed at his companions: "Look at you cowards, isn't he just a sick medicine jar, what are you so afraid of!"

The little girl who had just spoken wrinkled her face, and she looked like she was going to cry or not, but she didn't dare to step forward to pull him, so she beckoned vigorously: "Little fatty, come here!"

Little Fat Dun waved his hand disapplaudedly, his eyes rolled, his prank heart rose, and he suddenly had an idea and said: "There is! I have a way! You don't have to be afraid anymore! My father said before, the New Year's firecrackers are because the sound of firecrackers can drive away the New Year beast, purify the filth, and bring good luck, don't we have a lot of firecrackers, now you can 'purify and purify' this medicine jar, help him go to the disease, so that you don't have to be afraid!"

As he spoke, he was about to throw the firecracker in his hand at Rong Lian.

The malice of children is often casual but very stinging.

Rong Lian was a little annoyed, turned his head to look at the silk village, Guan Yingshan was still carefully picking out the clothes, and from time to time he made a false comparison, as if he was thinking about what style of new clothes to make for him, and he didn't notice the movement here.

There is often an endless stream of firecrackers on the streets of Nianguan, and their little frolic is not too conspicuous.

He turned his head to stare at the group of excited children, lowered his face, picked up the small flower pot outside the door of the silk shop, raised his hands high, and made a gesture to smash them.

He asked in a deep voice, "Who do you say is the medicine jar?"

A group of children were too young to be frightened by his ruthless behavior, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, they were stubborn, and hurriedly fled after a few cruel words.

When Guan Yingshan came out, Rong Lian still waited obediently outside the door, as if nothing had happened.

She took Rong Lian by the hand, and then went home, and Rong Lian didn't say a word.

At this time, after taking this little lock engraved with a long life and a hundred years old, Rong Lian was thinking, the little fat dun said that I was a medicine jar, but the book said that the medicine jar was not long lived.

Will he really live a long life?

When they parted, Rong Lian lifted the curtain of the carriage window, looked back at the gate of the house, and always felt as if it would be a long, long time before he would see the purple jacaranda tree outside the door again.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, at the Rong family banquet, the people were full of voices, staggered, and lively, and they were decent and prosperous as a big family.

Guan Yingshan changed into a blue dress, jade hairpin tied hair, jade belt around the body, lightly smeared rouge, a few points of pearl green, beautiful, is to sit quietly, also like a painting, the whole person seems to be glowing, so that people can't take their eyes off, whether it is admiration, amazement, or jealousy and watching.

She smiled and sat in the position of the main mother next to Rong Xun, even if she didn't speak, she was already amazing and beautiful enough.

With such a beautiful woman on the side, Rong Xun was also very happy, and couldn't help but beckon everyone to drink a few more glasses.

As a rule, at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the juniors will greet the elders during the banquet, and then receive the New Year's money distributed by the elders, bless each other, and exchange gifts.

In this generation, there are few people of the same age as him, all of them are from some side lines, and they are not as noble as his eldest son, so they are not convinced, and they can only follow him in a reluctant voice, led by him, and greet everyone together.

After staying in the Guan family for a long time, the rules have not fallen, if he is left sick outside, he has already had some outstanding demeanor.

Rong Xun is the head of the family, he is the first, he first saluted Rong Xun, and bowed to the New Year.

Rong Xun was happy today, seeing that his son's illness had improved a lot, and he drank a few more glasses, he actually asked him directly in public if he wanted to follow him to practice martial arts and learn two Rong exercises.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of many people in the banquet changed, it can be seen that Rong Xun still intended to let his sick son be the heir and learn from the head of the family, that is the exercise that only direct children can learn, and among the several Rong disciples behind Rong Lian, none of them have this qualification, which can't help but make people unbearable.

Rong Lian thanked him, and didn't pay too much attention to it, but felt that Rong Xun was drunk, otherwise, how could he practice martial arts with a body like him?

Rong Xun didn't seem to notice his attitude, and rewarded him with some New Year's money.

Then, it is to pay New Year's greetings to Guan Yingshan.

His worship, compared with the carelessness of the few children behind him, was extremely grand.

Seeing that her husband was satisfied and pitiful, Guan Yingshan was happy in her heart, smiled at him, bowed her head, and beckoned the maid to bring him the new clothes she had made.

Rong Lian took it, swept it away, and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you mother for your hard work." ”

Guan Yingshan shook her head with a smile, and asked the maidservant to take the gifts she had specially prepared and distribute them to the children during the banquet.

It should have been happy, but it didn't work out.

Rong Lian felt the gloom that had accumulated in her heart surging up faintly.
