In fact, the process of celebrating the Chinese New Year is pretty much the same every year. As usual, everyone has a meal together, chats, and then goes home after the party.

It’s not that fun for adults. They are still busy from morning till night, but the work is just less than usual.

It is much happier for the children, but these situations seem to have not existed for the Song family in the past two years, because what they want on weekdays is met, instead of having to wait until the New Year to eat what they want.

Thanks to the help of their younger brother Song Chen, the two older brothers' families have become very wealthy families in the village.

The same is true this year.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the adults gave red envelopes to the children in each family, which was equivalent to an exchange.

Of course, Song Zidong is no longer there. Instead, his daughter received a lot of red envelopes because she is the youngest in the family.

Lin Jingbei was the second youngest and also received a lot. Song Qinqin, Song Jiajia and others also gave him some. He didn't want it at first, but they tried to dissuade him again and again and finally accepted it at the suggestion of his father.

Then the family returned home.

The Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV. The family gathered together to watch it for a while. Li Xianglan cooked some midnight snacks. After they finished eating, the clock struck 12.

Song Chen and his son went to the yard to set off fireworks.

Fireworks are not cheap, and many families don’t buy them. They just set off two strings of firecrackers and think that’s it.

The fireworks set off by the Lin family shot up into the sky, blooming into stars in the sky, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

In this era when material life is not so affluent, the fireworks on this night are enough to become the anticipation of many people for the coming year.

When Lin Lu heard the noise, he and Li Xianglan came out to join in the fun, and could also hear the cheers of the children nearby.

When everyone looked up at the fireworks, Song Chen whispered "Happy New Year" in her ear.

Happy New Year does not just mean Happy New Year, but I wish you happiness and joy in every day to come.

Lin Lu also replied with a Happy New Year.

He often said that love must be expressed, and often asked Lin Lu to say "I love you" or "I like you".

Lin Lu also learned to respond directly through his daily teaching.

This Happy New Year seemed to mean - I love you, and Lin Lu replied - I love you.

Song Chen smiled, looking at the fleeting fireworks blooming in the sky, and looking at the people around him. They still had a long future, and there was still plenty of time to watch the fireworks and the prosperity of the world.

They still have a long way to go, just like the hands they are holding tightly at this moment.

He would never let her go again.

On the first day of the new year, Lin Jingbei ate a big bowl of dog food that his parents secretly gave him, and he gulped it down.

I squinted my eyes and went back to the house with grandma, leaving them outside in the cold wind and whispering.

Seeing that his mother and son had returned to their rooms, Lin Lu said, "Let's go to bed. We're so sleepy."

The so-called romance lasts only three seconds.

Song Chen originally wanted to be more romantic, but the emotions that were brewing in his throat were choked back by her words "I'm trapped".

Because I will be leaving for Shanghai on the second day of the Chinese New Year, I have a lot to do tomorrow.

You must first visit the graves and burn paper money for your deceased relatives. You cannot let your family be poorer than others in the underworld.

I also have to pack my luggage and stuff.

So Lin Lu was right, the most important thing was to go back to sleep quickly.

But Song Chen was a little reluctant to end the day too quickly. After all, it was New Year's Eve, the biggest day of the year.

Like a sticky candy, he asked Lin Lu to talk to him.

It was already early in the morning and Lin Lu was already sleepy. How could she have the energy to chat with him?

We're together every day and it's not enough.

Song Chen was a little emotional, but after being rejected by Lin Lu, he didn't dare to disturb her anymore and fiddled with his cell phone.

Qin Taoji had called him before, but his phone was always turned off every time he called him, and he still couldn't get through to him until today.

He wondered, did this person disappear from the face of the earth?

Suddenly, a strange phone call came in.

Song Chen had never seen this number before, so he picked up the phone because he had nothing to do.

He whispered, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

The person on the other end was breathing heavily, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Is that Song Xiaosi? I'm Lin Cheng."

Brother Lin Cheng!

Song Chen sat up immediately. Lin Lu was almost kicked by his loud noise and rolled her eyes at him. But Song Chen kept pointing at his phone as if he had taken stimulants.

"Brother, is that you?"

On the other side: "Please say happy holidays to Lulu and my parents for me."

Before Song Chen handed the phone to Lin Lu, the call was hung up. When the phone reached Lin Lu's ear, there was only a "beep beep" sound.

Lin Lu's eyes widened: "Is he my brother?"

Song Chen nodded.

Lin Lu dropped the phone and grabbed Song Chen's hand: "What did he say?"

I was so excited that my sleepiness disappeared instantly.

Song Chen: "Let me say Happy New Year to you and my parents."

Lin Lu: "What else?"

Song Chen: "No more."

He just said that and that was it.

Lin Lu's heart was pounding.

Song Chen: "I told you not to sleep, but you didn't listen to me."

Lin Lu kicked the man with his long legs: "How would I know that the young man was going to call?"

What a pity, what a pity!

I should have stayed awake earlier.

But one thing can be confirmed now, that crazy woman Feng Heng did not lie to them.

"How's the situation, little brother?"

Song Chen: "It doesn't seem very good."

He must have called quietly.

Lin Lu muttered: "When can I see him again?"

Song Chen: "It should be soon."

Now at least we know that he is in Feng Heng's hands.

Next, she couldn't sleep, so Song Chen reluctantly helped her do some exercises to help her sleep.

I did fall asleep in the end, but I didn't feel well.

——

New Year's Day.

It was drizzling and windy, so Song Chen didn't plan to ask Lin Lu to go with him.

He also told Li Xianglian to let her get enough sleep because she had insomnia last night.

Insomnia again? This time Song Chen was at home. Li Xianglian really thought: "Should I ask someone to come and see her? Why does she always suffer from insomnia?"

It's so uncomfortable to have trouble sleeping. She really thinks her daughter's symptoms are caused by some evil spirit.

Song Chen: “?”

Only then did he remember what Lin Lu had told him.

"No, she might be tired and didn't sleep well. Just let her have a good rest. It's okay." No matter how thick-skinned he was, he blushed after saying this.

Li Xianglan understood what she said. She was still suffering from insomnia. "Okay, I'll heat up her breakfast and wait for her to wake up before eating."

——

Song Chen followed the Song family members to pay New Year's greetings to the Song family's ancestral tomb. After the important people there were finished paying their respects, he came here.

Lin Jingbei and his grandson Lin Changchun went to the farthest place to pay their respects first, and then came over here.
