They enjoyed a rare period of peace here.
The Lunar New Year is almost here.
Bai Yajing has sent all the New Year's gifts she prepared for her relatives, friends, uncles, grandfathers, and other relatives.
I also received many packages sent to me.
Among them, Grandpa Gao and the teachers at the hospital sent her many medical books, urging her to study hard.
My uncle's comrades also sent a lot of things, and they especially thanked her for the medicine she gave them before she left, which was a great help.
She also sent a lot of cured meat and frostbite cream to her godmother, and knitted her a set of woolen sweaters and pants. She also told her that she had returned to her hometown.
Liu Meiling sent her a package containing snacks that girls like, face cream, and a letter.
After the cultural troupe disbanded, she stayed at home. However, things took a turn for the better. The cultural troupe was now transformed into a propaganda department, and the old troupe leader recruited her back to work as a propagandist.
She's busy again now.
Bai Yajing was happy for her too. Liu Meiling loved working and couldn't stay idle, so this way she would have her own career and wouldn't be bored every day.
The letter also included greetings to her maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, and uncle.
However, Bai Yajing felt that the last part, her uncle, was the most important...
In her reply, she shared her recent situation and that of her family, and also mentioned that she had prepared thoughtful gifts.
Their relationship didn't fade after they separated; on the contrary, it grew stronger.
It's worth mentioning that the uncle also received a package from Dean Xu, which was full of the old father's love for his child.
Her uncle asked her for some medicines commonly used by the elderly and sent them over.
This father and son lived together in this awkward way.
...
Today is Chinese New Year.
Early in the morning, Bai Yajing and her uncle got up and started working.
Grandma and Grandpa soon got up one after another, some helping to start the fire, others doing odd jobs.
The whole family was busy and lively.
"Darling, how about we invite A-Che and his family over to celebrate the New Year together? And your Uncle Niu and his grandson too?"
It's more lively with more people! There are fewer people there, and life is rather quiet.
While chopping vegetables, Grandma made a suggestion to Bai Yajing.
After all, this is the first New Year for the Xiao family here, and their current situation is not good. They probably won't have much to eat or drink during the New Year.
Bai Yajing had no objections, wiped her hands clean, and said, "Okay, I'll go call them right now!"
After saying that, he went out the door.
The village was bustling with activity today, as the children who work in the city returned home to reunite with their families.
I greeted everyone along the way as I walked to the end of the village.
"Xiao Che, are you home?" she called out from across the courtyard.
Soon, noises came from inside.
Xiao Che came out wearing a robe. Water droplets from his hair dripped down his neck and into his robe...
"Comrade Ya Jing, Happy New Year! I was just about to go to your house to deliver some game to you..."
He didn't have anything good to offer, so he went to the mountains early in the morning to hunt.
I just got back and took a shower. I was planning to change my clothes and then go over.
Bai Yajing's gaze had been drawn to that water droplet, and she was imagining where it had fallen, so her mind was still a little fuzzy.
"Huh? Oh, okay..."
Xiao Che followed her gaze and looked down, only then realizing what she had just been looking at. A rush of hot blood shot from his neck to the top of his head, making him feel like a fully cooked shrimp...
He had just heard her call his name, so he hurriedly rinsed off the water, dried himself, and put on his clothes. He hadn't even finished dressing properly because he was afraid of making her wait too long.
