"No, didn't I see your mother when I went to Yushan to buy New Year's goods?"
"I forgot about this," Han Chen said a little embarrassedly.
"You and Momo have changed your minds. You should go back to Yushan with us to meet Uncle Momo."
Zhou Mo frowned, "Mom, Han Chen is going to the capital tomorrow. Why are you bringing up going to Yushan? Isn't that embarrassing for him?"
"Yes, yes, Yushan is close. Let's go there when Han Chen has another day off."
"I'm sorry, Mom, I couldn't go to Yushan with you," Han Chen said apologetically.
"Your return home is more important. You can go to Yushan anytime. It doesn't matter."
Although trivial matters such as visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year and going home are not big things, they can easily become points of conflict between newlyweds.
Han Chen was very grateful that Zhou Mo's family was so tolerant and understanding.
He secretly vowed that when he returned home this year, he would find a way to resolve the conflict between the two families, especially with his grandfather Han Hongde.
Second grade.
Zhou Mo went to the airport to see Han Chen off, and then went to Yushan with his parents to celebrate the New Year.
Han Chen and Liang Xinyun returned to the imperial capital together.
Here in Yushan, the festive atmosphere is strong.
As we approached the intersection of the town, there were lights and lanterns hanging everywhere. It was still daytime, so we couldn't see the colorful lights.
But the deafening sound of gongs and drums at the town entrance makes it hard not to feel that the New Year has arrived.
Zhou Mo was puzzled: "What kind of performance is there?"
Zhou Zheng: "Yushan is also holding a community festival this year. Each village will have a performance, including yangko dancing, stilt walking, dragon and lion dances, etc. I guess the main roads are closed, so cars can't go, so we'll have to take a detour."
Zhou Mo: "Why is the New Year so lively this year?"
Zhou Zheng: "It's been around since you were a kid, but it didn't happen much later. I don't know what happened this year, but it started happening again."
Zhou Mo: "I want to go and see."
Zhou Zheng: "Go park the car first."
Yushan is now well developed. All the roads in the town, whether main roads or small paths in front of residents' homes, are paved with asphalt, making driving extremely convenient.
Liu Chengyun and Liu Chengfu enclosed land here and built a breeding farm. The land was enclosed before the land title was confirmed. The farm and the residence are together, with a total area of nearly 20 acres, which is considered a large residential land in the town.
Later, they also engaged in aquaculture, but after the land rights were confirmed, they could only rent land from the village collective and could no longer privately enclose land.
The families of Liu Chengfu and Liu Chengyun live next to each other, and each family has a three-story building, which is very exquisitely built.
It is said that this building cost hundreds of thousands of dollars from construction to decoration.
Among the three Liu brothers and sisters, Liu Xiangru has a high level of education and lives the most decent life, but financially speaking, she is the poorest.
However, the two brothers Liu Chengfu and Liu Chengyun were good to their sister. When Zhou Zheng and Liu Xiangru bought a house in Yuanshangju, they didn't have enough money, so Liu Chengfu and Liu Chengyun helped pay the down payment and didn't settle the bill with Liu Xiangru.
The Liu family’s gate is an automatic retractable door, just like the one at school, and there is a security guard at the door.
If someone who doesn't know what's going on passes by, they might think it's some kind of unit.
The reason for arranging security guards is that although this door is the main door for living and traveling, it is actually the back door of the farm.
Zhou Mo drove the car to the door. Zhou Zheng lowered the rear window and greeted the security guard, "Lao Hou, are you on duty today?"
"Yes," Lao Hou said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, Happy New Year."
Zhou Zheng: "Happy New Year, thank you for your hard work."
"It's all work, there's no question of whether it's hard or not," Lao Hou said, fully opening the telescopic door that was only half open.
Zhou Mo drove the car in and it took him several minutes to reach his doorstep.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Mo looked around and asked, "Why do I feel that my uncle's yard is bigger than before?"
Zhou Zheng: "That's because you don't come here often, so it's always this big."
Liu Xiangru: "Twenty acres of land, larger than both of Yuan Shangju's."
Zhou Mo: "I saw a small garden built in the town, in European style. It's even more beautiful than the central flower bed in Yuanshangju."
Liu Xiangru: "Otherwise, all the rich people in the city are moving to the countryside. The environment is better, the living space is larger, and it's much more comfortable than squeezing into a ten-square-meter apartment. Your uncle's yard is big enough to be used as a driving practice field. In our neighborhood, it's hard to even find parking."
Zhou Mo: "When I get old, I will also come to Yushan to retire. I will also build a small Western-style house."
Liu Xiangru: "You can come, but Han Chen will definitely not be able to get used to living here."
Zhou Mo: "No matter what, you have to live with me even if you don't get used to it."
Liu Xiangru pushed her forehead and said, "You can bully Han Chen as much as you want."
Zhou Mo stuck out his tongue.
The villa door opened, and my uncle Liu Chengfu came out with his fat belly. Seeing the newcomers, he was delighted. "How come you're here so soon? I thought there was a community performance in town, so you've been here for a while."
Zhou Zheng: “We took a detour.”
When Liu Chengfu saw Zhou Mo, he smiled even more, "Momo, you are becoming more and more beautiful."
Zhou Mo smiled and took Liu Chengfu's arm, "Uncle, you too are getting younger and younger."
"You, you're just sweet-talking," Liu Chengfu turned around and yelled at the two buildings above him, "Second brother, wife, my little sister and her family are here."
Upon hearing the noise, my aunt Li Wenxiu was the first to come out.
Li Wenxiu's hair turned a little white as she got older, but because of the Chinese New Year, she dyed it chestnut brown and curled her short hair. She wore the kind of dark red jacket that the elderly often wear.
"Momo, come here, come in and sit inside," Li Wenxiu greeted Zhou Mo and her family warmly.
Liu Chengyun's family just happened to come out. Zhou Mo hurriedly greeted Liu Chengyun and his second aunt Zhang Xuemei, and wished them a happy new year.
Second aunt hadn't seen Zhou Mo for a long time, and she was smiling very happily. As she spoke, she wanted to take the whole family to her home on weekends.
The two aunts had a disagreement about where Zhou Mo's family should go.
My aunt said that Liu Chengfu is the eldest brother, so naturally the eldest brother should treat him.
Second aunt said that Zhou Mo hadn’t been to Yushan for a long time. When she was a child, second uncle Liu Chengyun took her out to play more often, so she must ask second uncle to treat her.
Everyone has their own opinion.
Finally, the group went to Liu Chengfu's house.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see the living room. The heating is turned on very high. I think it is because Liu Huixuan is worried that the children will get cold.
Liu Xia came down from upstairs, saw Zhou Mo, and trotted towards him.
"Sister Xia Xia, how are you doing lately? Is Hui Xuan behaving well?"
"He's very well behaved," Liu Xia said. "He's sleeping upstairs now. Do you want to go check on him?"
"Okay," Zhou Mo said with a smile.
Aunt Li Wenxiu waved her hand, motioning them to go upstairs. "You sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Go upstairs and have a chat. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"Thank you, Mom," Liu Xia said, taking Zhou Mo's hand and going upstairs.
Liu Huixuan fell asleep in his own room, and Liu Chengfu specially prepared a children's room for Liu Huixuan.
The two of them glanced at the sleeping baby and quietly withdrew.
"The child will blow bubbles even when he is asleep," Zhou Mo found it more and more adorable the more he looked at it.
"Hui Xuan has been like this all the time, like a goldfish." Liu Xia asked with a smile: "Want to go watch the community performance later?"
