All the people who were having dinner in the restaurant were gone. The table was a mess. Jin Ge'er and Yan Ge'er were cleaning the table.
Qi Wanfeng didn't see his husband when he went out. When he saw the two brothers cleaning the table, he asked and found out that his husband had gone out to see someone off. It happened that his husband had just come back from outside. He asked, "Have Bai Lian and the others gone home?"
"Yes, they have. It's getting late, and it's snowing outside. The road will be difficult to walk on soon. Cao Gangge and Da Hu must be tired after coming back from Fengdu for such a long time. Let them go back and rest early, and save the wine for another day." Cao Xiangnan walked in from outside. It was very cold outside. He felt cold after being out for a while. He walked to the fireplace and warmed his hands by the fire.
The man waited for the husband to come back with great difficulty, and he couldn't let anyone stay at his place to drink.
"How much have you drunk, your face is red, shall I make you a pot of tea?" Qi Wanfeng smelled the alcohol on the husband's body and saw that his face was red from drinking alcohol, so he asked the husband if he wanted to drink tea because his waist was not feeling well. After the husband
agreed, he took out the tea leaves to make tea. There was hot water in the stove, so he poured the water into the teapot, filtered the tea, poured a cup for the husband, and poured himself a cup.
At this time, the guests who stayed in their house were also arranged to stay. Fortunately, they built a new yard at the back of the house, and the family It is good to have a place for guests to stay when there are a lot of people coming and going, and it is also convenient for friends to stay at home for a while. There are many people accompanying them, and they can't accommodate so many people here, so Wang Dahu took them back to their place to stay. It would be freezing cold without a place to stay in such a cold winter. The two of them sat together, Cao Xiangnan stretched out his hand on his wife's shoulder, held her in his arms, and said, "Seeing that one year has passed, and another year has come.
" "Yes, it's another year." Qi Wanfeng leaned on her husband's arms and sat quietly with her husband like this, feeling very peaceful in her heart. In his heart, he hoped that they could spend every year together in the future.
After the two brothers cleaned up the table, they looked at each other and went out quietly.
The house was quiet at night. Snowflakes were falling outside. Everyone in the house washed up and went to bed. It was still warm in bed this day.
Qi Wanfeng didn't dare to talk about Bao'er outside. They were also surprised that Fang Ziye came today, but it seemed reasonable. Bao'er was Fang Ziye's child. He would come to take Bao'er back home later. Cao Xiangnan raised his hand and touched the person in his arms, stroking his back back and forth. He could hear that he was reluctant to part with Bao'er. After all, they raised that child.
When Fang Ziye left, Bao'er was only a few days old. Now he is almost two years old.
Bao'er cried all night long those nights. When Bao'er was young, he was not an easy child to take care of. The child's health was not very good and he often had a fever and was sick. He got better after he was a little older. When the child cries, Qi Wanfeng holds him and comforts him all night long. No wonder Bao'er is so attached to him, because he was the one who brought up the child.
Bao'er loves to make noises, and this child also brings them a lot of joy. Who wants to return Bao'er? Who can't bear to part with her husband? Do you think Bao'er will still remember us when he grows up? "Qi Wanfeng asked.
Yes." Cao Xiangnan said, "If you miss Bao'er in the future, I will take you to see him.
Even if they are reluctant in their hearts, they are ready to return Bao'er to Fang Ziye. They have never thought of not returning Bao'er to Fang Ziye. They are also fathers and mothers, and they know what the child means to them.
Fang Ziye left Bao'er with them at the beginning because he had his own difficulties and helplessness, otherwise which mother would be reluctant to entrust a child who was just born a few days ago to someone else to raise, and just left like that. It's been almost two years since he left, and he finally saw his own child.
Wanfeng." The person in his arms was crying, and a hint of helplessness flashed in Cao Xiangnan's eyes. He could only comfort this person. Lowering his head, his kiss landed on her tear-stained face, with a salty taste. "Don't cry." He said another kiss, with a soothing meaning. Qi Wanfeng looked at her husband with red eyes, then closed her eyes and tenderly accepted her husband's kiss, and took the initiative to respond to her husband's kiss with her hands on her husband's neck.
The cold wind whistled past the window, and the people in the room hugged each other, dispelling the coldness of this cold night.
The old year passed by little by little, and the new year came slowly. People's hearts were looking forward to the days to come, hoping that these days would get better and better.
It snowed all night, and it stopped at dawn. The morning sun rises slowly, and the sunlight hits the ground in the yard. The ground is covered with a thick layer of snow. Looking at the distant mountain peaks, there is a piece of white snow. The whole world is covered with silver, which is another beautiful scene.
On the first day of the new year, the child wears beautiful new clothes and greets his father and mother early in the morning. The child greets his father and mother. "Cao Ruian bowed with both hands, wished his father and mother a happy new year, and said some words of blessing to his father and mother. The little boy has grown up another year older, and his appearance has become more and more well-proportioned, with a flying spirit between his eyebrows, a smile on his little face, and his movements are graceful. He is completely different from the timid child when he was young.
"Be good, study hard with the teacher, and you will pass the imperial examination in the future." Cao Xiangnan took the red envelope that had been prepared long ago from the table and handed it to the child. He couldn't help but reached out to touch his little An An's head and said, "An An has grown up and is a big boy now." He
vaguely remembered the child who held a big bowl and staggered to bring him water. At that time, the big bowl was as big as the child's face. In the blink of an eye, his little An An has grown that big. Time passed so unnoticed. Only when you watch your children grow up year by year, you will know that so much time has passed. An An looked up at his father and found that his father was staring at him. He felt a little shy.
The children behind him wished a happy new year to their father and mother, and the elders beside him also wished a happy new year. Even Xiao Bao followed Le Le to wish a happy new year to his father and mother. He learned everything and did not forget to say to his father with the words that his father had taught him yesterday, "Happy New Year, Daddy and Mom, and wish you good fortune. Give me the red envelope." Then he blinked his eyes and looked at Daddy and Mom, waiting for them to give him a red envelope. At the end, he added, "I want a big one."
I want a big red envelope!
"Hahaha... Daddy's baby, how come you are so cute." It was he who taught Bao'er to give out red envelopes for wealth and prosperity. Cao Xiangnan had never taught Bao'er to give out big red envelopes, but now he told him to give out big red envelopes.
Come, Daddy will give you a big red envelope." Cao Xiangnan took out a big one from the side, handed it to Bao'er, and asked, "Is this okay?
OK "Bao'er took the big red envelope, feeling very satisfied.
All the adults in the room laughed along. Little Bao'er knew that he was being laughed at, so he threw himself into Am's arms and hid his little face. Qi Wanfeng held the little Bao'er who had thrown himself into his arms. His Bao'er, how could he be so cute.
Cao Ruile stood aside and looked at his Bao helplessly, being made fun of again.
From the moment he saw Bao'er, Fang Ziye's eyes had never left Bao'er.
When the children came to wish him a happy new year, Fang Ziye took out the prepared gift, which contained a bag of golden fruits. He gave a bag to each child who came to wish him a happy new year.
When Baoer came to pay him New Year's greetings, he stared at his Baoer without blinking, as if he wanted to carve the appearance of his Baoer into his heart. After paying New Year's greetings, Baoer was a little at a loss when he saw that Momo still didn't give him the New Year's money.
Dad and Mom always gave red envelopes to Baoer after paying New Year's greetings, so why didn't Momo give Baoer a red envelope? Baoer thought, maybe Momo didn't prepare it, or Baoer didn't want it? The child looked at Momo with suspicion.
"Zi Yu, Zi Yu." Aning on the side reminded him.
Oh, look, Momo..." Fang Ziye came back to his senses and took a small bag to his Baoer. Seeing the child smiling after receiving the New Year's money, he raised his hand to touch the child's face and said, "Baoer, you have to be happy, Mo... I hope you can always be so happy and cheerful.
Coming here and seeing that his Baoer was doing well, he felt good.
Baoer didn't understand yet, he happily took the New Year's money given by Mommy, looked at the beautiful little bag, tilted his head to take a look, then opened the bag, grabbed a golden fruit, and wanted to put it in his mouth because it was so beautiful.
? Thank you, Mommy. "Cao Ruile said for Baoer.
Glancing at Baoer about to put the gold in his mouth, he quickly grabbed Baoer's hand and told Baoer, "This is not delicious.
Not delicious? Baoer stared with his eyes wide open, unable to believe that such a beautiful fruit was not delicious!
This also scared Fang Ziye, who was afraid that Baoer would eat the gold into his stomach.
"Naughty." Cao Xiangnan didn't know what to say when he saw Bao'er take out a handful of gold, took the child's bag and found that the bag given by Fang Ziye was full of golden fruits.
Every child took the New Year's money given by their parents and elders, and everyone was smiling happily. In fact, only the older children knew that this was money. The younger children didn't know what gold and silver were. They were all happy when they knew that their parents and elders had given them New Year's money. Knowing
that the children were hungry, breakfast was prepared on the table. Today was the first day of the new year, and the food prepared at home was very rich. After the children finished paying their New Year's greetings, Qi Wanfeng called everyone to go over for breakfast.
After breakfast, guests began to come to their home.
Cao Gang and Sun Bailian came with their children, followed by Wang Dahu and Liu Baishu. A dozen children played together, and the house became lively.
People who knew each other in the village would also come to his place, and there were always people in his house.
