"Mom, please eat more."

"If you don't eat properly, how can you get better?"

Su Chang'an placed a piece of food on Qin Xiangxiang's plate and offered her some advice.

Qin Xiangxiang's face was thin and sallow, and with her sunken eye, she not only looked ferocious and terrifying, but also exuded a sinister aura.

Listening to Su Chang'an's advice, she said expressionlessly, "I don't even know where Meifang is right now, how can I eat? I don't know if she's cold, hungry, or if anyone is bullying her."

Su Chang'an's face immediately darkened.

"Mom, I've done what I could. Whatever her situation is now, it's the result of her own choices."

"She didn't consult me ​​before she took action, and she didn't listen to my arrangements. My punishment hasn't been issued yet, and I don't even know if I'll be allowed to return to the army!"

Su Chang'an was also full of resentment, and he had designs on not only Su Meifang, but also Qin Xiangxiang in front of him.

He doesn't have the brains to back it up, yet he dares to act recklessly and doesn't do things cleanly. Now he's dragged him down with him.

"Everyone else's family is having a happy reunion, while my son and I are all alone here. And you're still worrying about Su Meifang? I don't care if she's troublesome and disobedient, I don't care if she dies!"

"Eat your food properly. There are still tough battles ahead. Su Changzhi's whole family is back. Even if you don't cause them any trouble, they won't let you off easy."

Qin Xiangxiang looked up, "Su Changzhi?"

"Didn't they say that Su Changqing and his wife had returned?"

"The Su family is back too? They brought back a whole bunch of kids, a family of five, all together. That old woman Li, she's got a house full of children and grandchildren now. Unlike our family, some of us are crippled, some are useless, and some have run away."

"Not long ago, Dad sold the samurai sword that the Japanese officer brought back from the battlefield to Political Commissar Xu. Humph, he usually cherishes it like it's his lifeblood, he wouldn't even let me touch it, but now he sold it for a thousand yuan."

"I reckon it's another round of subsidies over there. The whole family's savings have been emptied out, and you still have the mood to be sad here."

“That Mrs. Li is in good health, has two sons and daughters-in-law to take care of her, a whole bunch of grandchildren, and Dad keeps sending her money. She lives like an empress dowager. No wonder Dad always wants to go there!”

Su Chang'an was seething with anger. He had deliberately provoked Qin Xiangxiang, thinking about Su Meifang all day long, without even looking at his son and how badly they had ruined him.

As Qin Xiangxiang listened to Su Chang'an's complaints, her fingers trembled slightly, and her face contorted with intense hatred.

Before Su Chang'an could persuade him further, he grabbed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and began shoveling large mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

Her eldest son was gone, but Su Changzhi returned.

She went to prison and became disabled, but Li Yueniang was perfectly fine.

Meifang became a wanted criminal, but Su Changqing and his wife got away scot-free.

Her Chang'an was sent home by the army, but Su Jindong was promoted to deputy company commander.

She was separated from her child, while her family was filled with joy.

On what grounds? On what grounds?

She was unwilling to accept it; she was unwilling to accept it.

Song Jingzhou's seven-day honeymoon has just ended, and his annual leave is just around the corner.

Su Qingci was taken to visit Vice President Zhang. Originally, they planned to take the old man home for the New Year, but Zhang Yue and Liu Yuliang had already intercepted the plan.

During this time, he took some time to visit the slums in the northern suburbs, but there was still no one there.

Xu Sai and his group seemed to have vanished from Kyoto in an instant; they all disappeared without a trace.

He went home, dragged his wife out of bed, wrapped her up like a big bear, and then drove her to Liuhuai Lane.

Today is the eve of the Lunar New Year, and we had agreed to spend it together at Li Yueniang's place.

In southern Hunan, there is a custom of "bidding farewell to the old year," and Song Jingzhou prepared many New Year's gifts to take with him, following the local customs.

The courtyard was noisy; you could hear laughter and chatter coming from inside even while you were still in the alley.

Su Jindong and Guo Wenjing's relationship progressed rapidly, and the unspoken understanding between them was finally broken through, with Su Jindong taking the initiative.

A few days ago, he went to pick up Guo Wenjing from get off work and saw a man from the lumber mill fawning over her, which made him extremely jealous.

Both Li Yueniang and Guo Xiaomao had their own opinions about the two children, and now they are even more clear about it. The two families have become like one, and they often eat together.

Hearing the sound of the door being opened outside, Si Gui immediately pulled up the thick curtain and peered outside.

"It's my sister. My sister and brother-in-law are back."

"Si Gui, tell Su Jindong to come out and get the things." Su Qingci covered her ears and clumsily ran inside.

Su Jindong blushed with embarrassment at everyone's teasing. Hearing the shouts outside, he ran out as if his life depended on it.

This time, Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou brought half a pig, two chickens and ducks, and a large basket of eggs.

Su Jindong's eyes lit up when he saw the frozen pork. "Where did you guys get this? I queued up early yesterday morning and almost froze to death. I only managed to buy a few pounds, and you guys managed to snag half a carcass?"

"I knew it! When it's time to hand in the pigs at the end of the year, there should be plenty of meat, but it's so hard to get any. Turns out, it's all been snatched up by you guys with connections!!!"

Song Jingzhou carried chickens and ducks in one hand and eggs in the other. "I didn't steal these. Qingci bought them and froze them a while ago."

Inside the compound.

Compared to the bustling activity at other homes, Su Yi's house was unusually quiet.

Sister Feng has a holiday on the eve of the Lunar New Year, and also on the eve of the Lunar New Year.

Normally, Qin Xiangxiang takes care of everything at home, but this year she's not feeling well, and with Su Meifang's matter still hanging in the balance, she hasn't done anything.
