Chapter 22: Chinese New Year
Fortunately, after eating the leftover steamed buns in the evening, she resumed her normal appetite the next day, at most eating more than before, so that she was relieved, otherwise she really wanted to eat and couldn't afford to eat.
She found that her strength had really increased a lot, and she didn't know how much, anyway, she couldn't move things before, but now she held it in her hand and floated lightly, like carrying a piece of paper, haha! Zhou Yuwei couldn't be happier.
Unknowingly, the Spring Festival is coming, and Zhou Yuwei is packing up and going home for the holidays.
When I was a child, the family had a bad time, but the children liked to celebrate the festival, they could eat a lot of delicious food, and there would be many guests at home, and every day it was like a seat.
Grandma and Mom prepared a lot of delicious meals to entertain guests, and the happy atmosphere of the Spring Festival will forever remain in Zhou Yuwei's childhood memories.
Now that life is good, the contacts between relatives are getting weaker and weaker, and the holidays are also visited, and the gifts brought are put down and left after saying a few words, and there is no longer a situation where she was teary-eyed and asked her aunt and grandmother not to leave when she was a child.
There are even more, in order to free up a few days of the New Year's holiday to go out to play, in the year before the year to go all over the relatives' houses, and wait for the holiday to go out of town, travel.
The great abundance of materials makes people less and less cherish a good life,
Mrs. Li loves to tell her about the things she did when she was a child, what she was starving, what the enemy invaded, what was living in a house made of corn stalks, what ******, eating in the canteen, why the old lady liked to save things to eat, and she was reluctant to eat when she was bad, all of which were the sequelae of that time.
When I returned to the village, I saw that I had to celebrate the festival, which was like that, in the past, every family had to prepare meals, make tofu croquettes, stewed chicken, stewed meat, stewed fish, and now it is not uncommon, you can eat whenever you want, and the festival is like that, and the most people who go to work take a long vacation.
Zhang Lan did not prepare a lot of meat dishes enough to eat, at most on Chinese New Year's Eve to eat a dumpling, in the cooking of a few dishes, more can not be eaten is a waste,
As soon as Zhou Yuwei came back, she started to clean up, and she usually didn't care about the mess, but there were many people who came to visit the door during the holidays, and she couldn't talk about it.
She washed and scrubbed, and finally pedaled on the ladder, even cleaning the places that are usually not wiped in the high places, the sofa, under the table, and the door frames and windows were wiped clean, and the home looked much neater.
Fortunately, after taking the strong pill, her body became very good, and this little work is nothing.
Zhou Yuying took her daughter Chen Ziyan home on vacation and took her daughter Chen Ziyan home.
Twelve-year-old Yanyan is quite tall, she has grown into a little girl, she is a lively girl, she can still develop such a temperament when she lives with her stepmother, she knows that she is a girl with no heart and low emotional intelligence, very similar to the Zhou family, and she doesn't know what is going on when she is bullied.
It's good that this way, it's good that the child can grow up healthily, and her stepmother is not too smart to be too much, at most she will be poor in food and clothing.
As soon as Yanyan entered the house, she saw Zhou Yuwei and pounced on her
"Auntie, I miss you so much, you didn't pick me up earlier. He hugged Zhang Lan on the side again.
"Grandma, my mother said that I will live with you in the future, not with my father, so as to save my eyes. ”
The smile on Zhang Lan's face froze, and she immediately asked, "Really, your father is willing to give up custody, this is really a good thing, you don't know how much your grandfather misses you, so I look forward to you coming back to live." ”
"It's not that I'm afraid of my complaint, Aunt Li often secretly gives my sister good food and drink, so she encourages my dad to give up on me, and it just so happens that I also like to follow my mom, so I'm not coming back. Chen Ziyan's immature little face pretended to be old-fashioned.
"That's good, that's good. Zhang Lan usually thinks about her granddaughter, she is the only one in this generation, why don't you worry.
"Yo, Chen Shuhe thought it through, sure enough, some stepmothers are stepfathers, and they have only been holding on for a few years, and they can't let go of Yanyan when they have their own children, Zhou Yuying, hurry up and sign an agreement with him to transfer the rights of guardianship, don't regret it in two days. ”
Zhou Yuwei doesn't have a good impression of her ex-brother-in-law, but she doesn't hate it much, and the failure of her marriage is definitely not a person's fault.
Zhou Yuying nodded to indicate that she knew, and beckoned to Yanyan,
'Let's go, go see your room first, tidy it up, and I'll move you over there tomorrow.' “
Wait for Zhou Guoping in the evening, go home from work, the Zhou family will be reunited, the New Year and the usual nothing but farewell, that is, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, make dumplings to watch the Spring Festival Gala, go out at 12 midnight, set off firecrackers, and in their village, fireworks are not allowed at all within the fourth ring.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family got up early, and Zhou Yuwei gave Yanyan a big red envelope to make the child jump happily.
Zhang Lan and Zhou Guoping also gave less, five hundred per person. There is only one child in the family, and the old couple is willing to give more, which is far worse than other people's families, but they have this condition.
In the first three days, Zhou Guoping had to take Zhou Yuying out to drive around to visit relatives, Zhou Yuwei and her mother stayed at home, waiting for the guests to come to visit the New Year, and no one at home for the New Year was not good, where do you know who will come to visit the door.
Sure enough, the eldest uncle, the second uncle's cousins and cousins all came, and in the afternoon, the second uncle and the second aunt also came to do it for a while, they all put down the New Year's ceremony, sat down for a while and left, and didn't drink any water.
There are not many relatives in the family, after all, Zhou Guoping and his family have no ability, they just work to earn some money, and those who have the ability have already left the village.
Smart people chase after and have to take a relationship, relatives can't be broken, Zhou Guo and his family are stupid and simple, with a big temper and low emotional intelligence, they want to face and feel that they are poor, and they don't come to the door to cause chaos for others, and slowly many relatives who have the ability to break off the relationship,
For example, a daughter-in-law of the old Zhou family is the head of their district, and a cousin in the family has become a real estate predator, and his daughter-in-law and Zhang Lan are still cousins, whether it is from the Zhou family or the Zhang family, the two families are relatives, and Zhou Guoping's cousin is still the leader of the town, anyway, there are many distant relatives and close relatives in their family who are very capable.
I don't know if Zhou Guoping and his wife have low self-esteem or how they broke it all together, and they didn't get on the pole to stammer.
A shrewd person would never do this, this is a personal relationship, and the stubborn couple would rather endure hardships and poverty, that is, they will not flatter, they will not flatter, they will not ask for help.
Sometimes Sister Zhou Yuwei also sighed, she has no ability, her parents are not capable, she has strong self-esteem, she doesn't disdain to ask for anyone, she doesn't need to have a good relationship, she has to let the two stupid daughters fool around in society, and she can't achieve anything at her age.
Zhang Lan's second cousin, people are scheming, shoot this and that, the relationship is continuous, she goes to visit the door during the New Year's holidays, and she also gives birth to two daughters, and her aunt arranges a good job as soon as she graduates, see if this is the benefit of being thick-skinned.
They can only sigh that they can't do anything, and they can't blame their parents, they are not confused when they are young, Zhou Yuwei has seen everything, and it is good to be happy in life.
"Auntie!" Yan Yan ran over, "You go out with me, let's go to the temple fair." “
"What is there to visit in the temple fair, there are many people and expensive things, and there are many thieves, all of which are prepared for people with stupid money and foreign tourists. ”
Zhou Yuwei is used to staying at home and doesn't want to move, the key is that she has to spend money when she goes out, she has no money!
