Chapter 215 Sending Red Envelopes

Ning Xiyue took a deep breath to calm down, trying not to take it to heart and not think about the embarrassing things. Her face slowly returned to normal and her temperature also returned to normal.

Ning Qingyuan saw that his sister's face was no longer hot, her body temperature was normal, and her complexion was normal. Only then did he truly believe that she did not have a cold. He sat down with confidence and watched the wedding ceremony together.

The ceremony ended after about an hour, when the bride and groom took an oath in front of the Chairman's portrait.

Everyone moved to the cafeteria to carry out the last ceremony of the day: start the meal and eat.

Ning Xiyue liked this part more. Everyone held their cups of water and said congratulations collectively. The rest was just eating happily. The bride and groom didn't have to be busy and sat down to eat with other family members.

This saves a lot of trouble.

After the meal, this lively group wedding also ended, and everyone went back home to find their mothers.

Ning Xiyue quickly took her family away and avoided any contact with Comrade Ji. Today was too embarrassing and she didn't want to face Comrade Ji for the time being.

Because Ning Xiyue deliberately avoided people, Ji Yanming didn't see anyone when he was free. He didn't even have a chance to say a few words. He reflected in his mind on what went wrong.

What made him even more distressed was that he had no time or opportunity to meet Ning Xiyue later.

As Ning Xiyue's family didn't have much time to spend together, she put this embarrassing incident and Comrade Ji out of her mind after returning home, and spent the last few leisurely days with her parents in Shanghai.

I took my parents to some famous places in Shanghai, went shopping in a department store arm in arm with my mother, and then went to the theater with my family to watch their performance at the invitation of Jiayin's sister-in-law.

We also took the opportunity of Ning Qingyuan's birthday to go to the state-owned restaurant and have another delicious meal.

Finally, on New Year’s Eve, Ning Xiyue and her family had a happy and joyful reunion in the courtyard.

This is the last day the family is reunited in Shanghai. They have all bought their train tickets for tomorrow. Everyone will go back to their respective places and resume their previous lives.

So this evening, the atmosphere at home was particularly warm. After eating and drinking, the family gathered together to chat. Most of the time, the parents and the eldest brother were reminding her and the second brother to take care of each other in the countryside, not to hide things, to write more letters or make more phone calls, etc.

Finally, Yun Xiulan happily took out four red envelopes wrapped in red paper and waved them at the four children: "Come on, it's time to give out New Year's money. Come back and get it. Line up."

"Here it comes. Here it comes."

Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan were the most excited. They jumped over and stood at the front of the line, the first and second respectively, staring eagerly at the red envelope in Yun Xiulan's hand.

Ning Qingzhi pulled Song Jiayin, who was embarrassed to queue, to the back.

In their family, it is a custom not to give out New Year's money unless their children get married.

So Ning Qingzhi can still get a red envelope from his mother after getting married, and even his new wife Song Jiayin can get one.

Yun Xiulan took the red envelope and glanced at the two most active siblings in front of her with a reproachful look: "You two little brats are the fastest runners."

Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan, who were being talked about, raised their heads and grinned at their mother with their teeth bared.

Ning Hai was watching happily from the side.

Yun Xiulan saw the team lined up and began to distribute the red envelopes in her hands, "Here, this is for Yueyue."

"Thank you, Mom."

Ning Xiyue happily took the red envelope in front of her and walked to a chair beside to sit and watch.

“This is for the second child.”

"Thank you, mom." ”

Ning Qingyuan ran towards where Ning Xiyue was sitting, dancing with the red envelope in his hand, and sat down next to her to look at the red envelope in his hand.

“This is the boss.”

"Jia Yin, this is yours."

Yun Xiulan handed a red envelope to Ning Qingzhi and Song Jiayin respectively.

"Thank you, Mom." They both said in unison, with happy smiles on their faces.

After Yun Xiulan distributed four red envelopes, she saw the smiles on the faces of the four children and felt satisfied: "Okay, do what you need to do, go back to your room and sleep, let's go."

They said they were leaving, but no one left and they still sat in the living room.

Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan sat in the corner, counting the money in the red envelopes with smiles on their faces.

The amount is the same for all of them, two yuan in each package, and in order to make it look better, the red envelopes are made up of brand new one-cent banknotes.

Ning Xiyue and his sister were very happy counting.

This sense of atmosphere and ritual is what we want during the Chinese New Year.

After counting their money, the two siblings counted with each other, satisfying their desire to count money.

Yun Xiulan took Ning Xiyue to the bedroom and talked to her in private, which were nothing more than the words she had said to her when she went to the countryside.

However, because her life has been getting better and better in the past six months in the countryside, Yun Xiulan is not as worried as before, but she still has to give a few reminders.

Finally, he took Ning Xiyue aside and said a few words mysteriously.

"Your eldest brother's comrade-in-arms is Comrade Ji, the one who saved you. Mom has taken a look at him and thinks he is a decent person. He seems to be very fond of you. If you don't want to stay in the countryside, you can consider him and let him accompany you in the army..."

Ning Xiyue interrupted embarrassedly: "Mom, what are you talking about? Didn't you tell me not to date? Why are you talking about this?"

"Silly girl, I don't want you to go to the countryside to date, but I don't want you to stay in the countryside and work hard on the land all your life. I've never let you suffer since you were a child. If you stay in the village all your life, your father and I will be sick to death. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how much hardship you endure, we can't care or know it."

Yun Xiulan glanced at Ning Xiyue's forehead gently.

"Comrade Ji is different. He has outstanding conditions in all aspects and he is a soldier. You won't find such an excellent partner in our county. It's right to listen to mom. If you are interested, we should seize the opportunity. Now that you are back in the city, you have your brother and sister-in-law to take care of you. Life will be easy."

Having said this, Yun Xiulan paused.

"But it all depends on your wishes. If you have an idea, just pay attention. I think Comrade Ji has you in his heart. If you don't have an idea, forget it. We will listen to you."

"Mom, I don't want to think about these things for now." Ning Xiyue stamped her feet, took out the red envelope she had prepared for her parents, stuffed it into Yunmu's arms, and ran away shyly.

"Hey, this kid."

Yun Xiulan looked at the big red envelope in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She touched the red envelope in her hand again and again, and her heart was filled with emotion.

Then, Ning Qingyuan came in with the red envelopes he earned from the team, and Ning Qingzhi also came in with the red envelopes he had prepared long ago and stuffed them into his mother's pockets, then imitated Ning Xiyue and ran back to his room without looking back.

"Grown up, the children have all grown up!" Yunmu sighed with emotion as she held three generous red envelopes.

On the other side, Ning Xiyue ran out and went to find Ning's father, and secretly pulled him to the kitchen.

Ning Hai lowered his voice and half covered his mouth with one hand, like a thief: "Daughter, what do you want to tell your father? Tell it now, it's just the two of us."

"Dangdangdang, this is pocket money for you. Only the two of us know about it. I haven't told anyone. Dad, keep it in your pocket."

Ning Xiyue took out a real bag from her arms, a small wallet made of cloth. Although the stitches were crooked, she sewed it herself stitch by stitch, without using the sewing machine in the space.

It contained the pocket money she gave to her father. She waved it in front of Ning Hai for a while and then stuffed it into his hand.

"My daughter is the best." Ning Hai pushed the red envelope back: "I accept the kindness, you can use the money yourself, don't treat yourself badly in the countryside, your dad can save some private money for you from the money for buying vegetables."

"Dad, take it. It's not much, but it's the first welfare payment I got as a barefoot doctor. It's very memorable. I want to give it to you so that we can be happy together as father and daughter."

Ning Xiyue said earnestly.

"Okay, then Dad will keep it." Ning Hai happily accepted the red envelope after hearing what Ning Xiyue said, and put it in his pocket like a treasure, and he did not forget to praise: "My daughter is really amazing."

Ning Xiyue smiled cooperatively and pulled Father Ning to the living room: "Then let's go back quickly and don't let Mom find out."

"Okay, I won't tell your mother. This is a secret between us father and daughter."

Ning Hai kept his hand in his pocket, pinching the corner of his purse. Joy spread in his heart, and he had a smile on his lips until he went to sleep.

"Be happy today. What did our daughter give you? Take it out."

Yun Xiulan understood and spread her hands in front of Ning Hai. Her fingers moved while her eyes looked at where he put the red envelope, waiting for his explanation.

"Nothing can be hidden from you."

The smile on Ning Hai's face faded a little. He sighed, then took out a red envelope from the lining of his clothes and handed it over.

"Oh, I even sewed a purse for you."

Yun Xiulan held the purse with a sour look on her face. After opening it, she saw a seven-yuan bill inside. She didn't care whether it was money or not, but she felt bad about this cutely ugly purse.

It's obvious that this was sewn by her daughter herself.

"Yueyue said that this is the first money she earned as a barefoot doctor in the countryside, and she left it for me as a souvenir." Ning Hai stared at the purse without moving his eyes.

"I'm giving it back to you. You look like you're afraid I'll snatch it away." Yun Xiulan didn't take the money and purse away this time. After giving it back to him, she took out the three big red envelopes she got from her pocket and showed off: "See, my daughter and son gave me much more than your red envelope."

Ning Hai knew his wife well, so he didn't dare to say anything proud. Instead, he agreed with her and said, "Yes, yes, you are a great contributor to our family, and you deserve it."

He was the only one who had the purse made by his daughter, the first welfare payment. He was not envious at all, he was happy.

"You can be jealous, I'm going to sleep."

Yun Xiulan proudly shook the three red envelopes in her hand, put them away with satisfaction, and lay down to sleep.
