"How's your date going? Did you agree on a time to meet?"
"We made an appointment two days ago, but I couldn't see you, so I changed it to after adulthood.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone visits relatives and friends, so I won’t disturb them.”
Hu Jun explained and sat down at the dinner table with Hu Lin.
Hu Lin glanced at the menu and handed it to Hu Jun, "See what we want to eat. It's my treat."
Hu Jun helped her with the matter and made him wait for a few days for nothing, so she should compensate him.
"No, as the host, I haven't treated you yet. I'll take care of the meal."
As Hu Jun spoke, he turned around and ordered three dishes from the waiter, then he handed the menu to Hu Lin.
Ask: "Look, do you need anything to add?"
"No thanks." Hu Lin refused.
Hu Jun handed the menu back to the waiter and poured a glass of boiled water for himself and Hu Lin.
After the meal, Hu Lin told Hu Jun the Xu family's phone number and was about to leave, but Hu Jun tried to keep her.
They said that during the New Year, they had nothing to do in Beijing, so they went for a walk.
Hu Lin agreed.
The two went to see some old buildings, and at 10 o'clock in the afternoon, they separated.
When Hu Lin returned to Xu's house, it was time for dinner.
After dinner, she told the old couple that Hu Jun would call them, so that they would be prepared so that they would not feel uncomfortable when Hu Jun called them.
The old couple didn't mind and only talked about their son and his family in the army.
It is said that not long after Hu Lin left the house, the things their son had asked someone to bring back arrived, and they took Hu Lin to have a look.
In addition to some daily necessities and health products for the elderly, there are also some clothes and seafood specialties.
Seeing the familiar seafood, Hu Lin casually asked the old couple's son about his unit.
When she heard that he was also on the island, in the same place as Zhou Huaijing, she knew what was going on.
The uncle and nephew were in the same place and could take care of each other, so Zhou Huaijing would not have a hard time in the army.
He was not implicated, and his uncle deserves great credit!
But he was still able to return to the capital at this time, and he seemed to be quite busy, and he could even go around with a gun... I guess he must be in an important position.
So to speak, he is a young and successful man with a bright future ahead of him.
But at this time, something happened at home.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, Hu Lin took out a piece of paper and spun the roulette wheel one by one according to the numbers on it.
After the call was connected, Hu Lin heard Uncle Yuan's inquiring voice soon after.
She quickly responded, "Uncle Yuan, it's me, Hu Lin."
"Hey! You're this girl! Where do you live now? Are you settled?"
Uncle Yuan asked many questions in a row.
They haven't seen each other for more than half a month since they parted at the train station.
"Everything is settled. I called you when I had some free time." Hu Lin replied.
"Then when are you free to visit our home?" Uncle Yuan asked in a good mood.
"Are you busy tomorrow?" In order to visit Uncle Yuan, Hu Lin specially picked a day.
Tomorrow is the sixth day of the New Year, an auspicious day.
These days she accompanied the old couple to visit several relatives and listened to what they said.
Because of the Zhou family's affairs, many relatives have stopped communicating with each other, and now only a few families are still in contact.
Before the Zhou family got into trouble, the house was crowded with people during festivals, but now it is deserted.
"Nothing. Girl, will you come over tomorrow?"
"Well, I'll come over tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll ask your aunt to cook a few more dishes tomorrow."
"Don't bother."
After a few polite words, Hu Lin ended the call.
Just then the old lady came over to call her for dinner, and the two of them went to the living room together.
The Xu family is different from the Zhou family. The Zhou family was a noble family in the old days, while the Xu family came from a merchant family.
In ancient times, the status of the two was very different, let alone becoming in-laws with equal status.
During the war years of the Republic of China, the Zhou family gave up writing and joined the army, and the Xu family spent all their wealth.
The two children met by chance and got married.
It was for this reason that the Xu family was able to live in their ancestral home when the Zhou family encountered trouble and underwent reform.
The superiors took into consideration their old age, the fact that they owed favors to the Xu family, and the fact that their children were not around, so they were allowed to have someone to take care of them and all their daily necessities were kept in their original condition.
On the sixth day of the New Year, there was light snow in the sky and Hu Lin went out with an umbrella.
First, I went to the department store and bought some candied fruits, cakes and seasonal fruits, such as apples, snow pears, millstone persimmons and oranges.
Dried goods are wrapped in oil paper and tied with ropes, and fruits are put in net bags.
Took the subway to Uncle Yuan's house.
When Uncle Yuan saw Hu Lin coming with so many things, he thought that Hu Lin had spent a lot of money.
Hu Lin just smiled and didn't say much.
Uncle Yuan's entire family was there. His wife was playing with her son in the living room. When she saw Hu Lin coming, she greeted him warmly.
After dinner, several people chatted and laughed in the living room.
Not long after, Uncle Yuan went to the study, where Hu Lin and his wife played with the children and chatted.
Listening to Uncle Yuan's wife's nagging, Hu Lin learned that Uncle Yuan had encountered problems recently.
