The streets were decorated with lights and there was a festive atmosphere. The next day, Luo Xing was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. It was still dark when she got up, but everyone in the Lu family was already up. Lu Sinian, who was beside her, hugged her with his head buried in her neck, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Wife, it's still early. Let's sleep a little longer. It's rare that we don't have to go to work." Lu Sinian had kept her busy for a long time last night. She didn't want to get up so quickly in the morning. Besides, it was only a certain time now, probably around six o'clock.

Luo Xingci turned over and said, "Then let's sleep a little longer, but I heard my parents' voices." Her hearing was very good and she could hear it clearly even on the second floor, and Lu Yingxue seemed to have gotten up as well.

"It's okay. Don't worry about them. Our family doesn't have the habit of getting up early. In the past, we always got up around seven o'clock and usually worshipped the gods around eight o'clock." Lu Sinian did not lie. They prefer the number eight. They are a little superstitious, but it was passed down from their ancestors.

The two of them went back to sleep, and when they woke up it was already past seven o'clock. Luo Xingci changed into the new clothes that Lu Ershen had made for her. They fit her well, and the red color made her skin look whiter and more delicate.

Lu Sinian's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously when he looked at Luo Xingci like this, "Wife, you look really good in this dress, and it will be even more beautiful with that coat." He hugged her from behind and brought her the beige coat that Cao Shuyi had bought for her before, which made Luo Xingci look very beautiful.

She paired a red sweater with a black knitted skirt inside and a long beige coat outside, giving her a very Korean style.

When they came downstairs, she gave red envelopes to everyone in the Lu family, "Grandpa, grandma, happy new year, I wish you good health!"

Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were smiling happily, and they also gave red envelopes to Luo Xingci and the others.

Next came Cao Shuyi and her family. The whole family was very happy to receive the red envelopes.

"Sister-in-law, let's eat noodles and then go out for a walk." According to the Lu family's New Year's custom, they have to eat noodles and dumplings in the morning.

"good."

After eating the noodles, Lu Yingxue and Lu Jinfeng took Luo Xingci and the others out. None of them rode bikes, but walked.

After playing enough, they went to the mall to buy things. Luo Xingci had so much pocket money every month that she could not spend it all. Cao Shuyi and Lu Zhengguo would give her pocket money every month, and sometimes even the old man would give her pocket money. In addition, she also had a salary from work, a share from Lu Sinian, and dividends from the cannery. She now had a lot of money saved.

During the New Year holidays they either went out shopping or visited relatives and friends. Luo Xingci found that the time passed extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye it was already the eighth day of the New Year and it was time to go back to work.

After she returned to the compound, Gu Yizhou also brought her dumplings. "Auntie, I brought you dumplings. These are made by me and my dad. The dipping sauce is delicious. Try it."

"There are so many. Auntie has also prepared red envelopes for you and your father. This one is for you, and this one is for your father." Luo Xingci handed two red envelopes wrapped in red paper to Gu Yizhou.

Gu Yizhou was very happy to receive the red envelope, "Auntie, this is the first time I receive a red envelope. I hope I can receive your red envelope every year in the future." In fact, this is the first time he has received a red envelope since he was born. Of course, Gu Zhihe will give him a red envelope during the Chinese New Year.

Luo Xingci felt distressed when she heard this. She touched his head and said, "Auntie will give you red envelopes every year in the future."

The two of them didn't know that fate could be so magical, and Gu Yizhou actually became her son-in-law in the future.

"But Auntie, my dad and I are going to leave here after the New Year and stay somewhere else for a few years. I don't know when we will come back. If you have time, will you write to me?" His eyes were full of hope.

"Of course I will. Don't worry. I will write to you once a month. If we install a phone in the future, I will call you." But I can't call you often. After all, the phone bills are ridiculously expensive.

"OK."

After Luo Xing quit his job, Gu Yizhou watered and weeded the vegetable garden, turned over the land, and finally scattered the vegetable seeds on it. He left only after he finished.

When Luo Xingci was riding her bike through the alley, she happened to see Xiong Tiezhu arguing with Xie Long. She immediately stopped her bike, turned around and hid behind the haystack behind them.

"Xie Long, did I give you face? Why didn't you come to find me after so long? What am I renting this house for?" Xiong Tiezhu was very angry. He put his hand on Xie Long's shoulder with a smile on his face.

Xie Long's body was shaking a little, and his eyes revealed fear. He never expected that Xiong Tiezhu, who hadn't come to see him for such a long time, would actually come to see him. After the New Year, he deliberately found a house not far from where Luo Xingci lived, but he didn't expect to be brought here by Xiong Tiezhu when he went out this morning.

This reminded him of the time when he worked under him. At first, he was quite grateful to be able to work under him, but he didn't expect that he would actually do that kind of thing to him, and more than once. After that, it became worse and worse. The more perverted he was, the more traumatized he was.

Later, he threatened me that if I dared to tell my grandfather about this, I would never be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life. He even threatened me that I had to be available at any time in the future, otherwise he would go directly to my house to find me.

In order to prevent his family from finding out, he followed him to live outside, where he lived for a year. He was not free until Luo Xingci came. He thought he had given up on himself, but he didn't expect that he would make a comeback.

"Xie Long, you didn't think I gave up on you, did you? Don't think about it. I still have a lot of interest in you for the time being. I just like young people like you. This reminds me of a young man who used to follow me. He was the same as you at the beginning, but he was better than you in that he took the initiative to find me later."

Although Xiong Tiezhu was angry that Luo Xingci took Xie Long away, he had plenty of ways to make Xie Long return to him willingly, and he had no right to stop when he was not tired of that person.

Xie Long's eyes were full of pleading, "Deputy Director Xiong, please let me go. You've made me a little mentally unstable. I've finally been able to live a normal life. Please let me go."

"I just like this look in your eyes, hahaha, I can't stand it whenever I see this look, I know you like it, don't play hard to get with me, just wait for me here obediently tonight." Xiong Tiezhu patted his cheek, "Your face is even smoother than before, hahaha, I really found a treasure."
