Chapter 439 Everything was fine when I came here, but now I can’t go back?

In the past, Huo Jianguo still had some feelings for his two brothers.

But they drove Huo Fugui and grandma out of the house, and the last bit of affection disappeared.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not sad at all. After all, we have been a family for decades.

I never thought that in the end, the friendships we had in our youth would completely fade away with the passage of time.

Those distant and unfamiliar times can never be returned.

But as brothers have come this far, Huo Jianguo has done everything he could with a clear conscience.

Although he was a little disappointed, he had no regrets.

After learning the reasons why his adoptive father and grandmother were driven out, Huo Jianguo assured Huo Fugui, "Dad, grandma, they won't raise you, I will raise you in the future."

Regardless of whether Huo Fugui agrees or not, Huo Jianguo has made up his mind.

After talking about the Huo family's business, Huo Jianguo told Su Mei and his father-in-law and mother-in-law about what happened in the city.

He explained why he missed the bus the day before, and talked about how Du Erniang's family was caught for reselling jewelry:

"The Yang family really had wild ideas. Other families were selling eggs, baskets, dustpans, vegetables and grains... but they went to the city's largest trade market to sell gold, silver and jewelry.

Isn't this courting death? They also say that these are good things passed down by our ancestors and we will suffer a loss if we don't buy them.

I guess they misunderstood the extent of policy relaxation. I wonder if the country will still impose severe punishment on such behavior.

They were caught on the spot by the police. All three members of the Yang family were arrested, and it is estimated that the whole family will go to jail.

But it's good this way. Yang Suhua doesn't have to worry about being scared anymore, so she can breathe a sigh of relief."

Hearing this, Su Mei couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Indeed, this is great. The whole family will go to jail, and the family will be together."

Her words stunned everyone in the room, and they looked at her with strange eyes.

Everyone felt that this sounded a bit strange, but they didn't know what was strange about it.

After all, it was the first time they heard someone describe an entire family as being in jail in an orderly manner.

Everyone in the room looked at Su Mei, and the old lady followed suit and looked at Su Mei.

The old lady didn't know what everyone in the room was discussing, she just subconsciously looked at the person everyone in the room was looking at.

Su Mei hopes that Du Erniang and her family of three can be sentenced to more years in prison.

When Yang Suhua becomes completely powerful, she won't have to worry about being found by them anymore.

After dinner, Su Mei and Su Xuanju checked the pulses of the old lady and Huo Fugui together.

After taking the pulse, Su Xuanhu asked Su Mei to write a prescription.

After reading the prescription, Su Xuanhu praised Su Mei for her excellent prescription. Only after praising her did he go to the herbal medicine room with Su Mei to prepare the medicine.

After the medicine was prepared, Huo Jianguo took it to the kitchen to boil it.

After boiling it for an hour, I let Huo Fugui and the old lady drink it before letting them go to sleep.

That night, with a warm room and bed and a full meal, Huo Fugui and Mrs. Huo slept particularly soundly.

Huo Jianguo was worried that Huo Fugui would ask to go back home after the Chinese New Year.

In order to let Huo Fugui feel at ease to stay there, he went to find the craftsmen in the village early the next morning and asked them to demolish the Huo family's old house.

There were also some daily necessities, food, clothes and other items in the old house. Huo Jianguo and the craftsmen worked together to move these things to Yi Yong's house for storage.

The old house of the Huo family is indeed very old.

Not only was the house leaking drafts and rain, but the interior was also shabby. The windows and doors had been in disrepair for many years and were almost falling down. There was really no point in repairing it.

So Huo Jianguo decided to simply tear it down and rebuild it.

After all, there are only Huo Fugui and his grandmother living in the family, so they don't need a very big house. Simply building three tiled houses should be enough.

This would not only solve the housing problem, but also make Huo Fugui more willing to stay and take good care of his grandmother.

Huo Jianguo decided to give up the old house because Huo Fugui would have no place to live when he returned.

The idea was to demolish the old house first, and then have the craftsmen build a new house after the Chinese New Year, which is the first day of the Chinese New Year.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is New Year's Day.

This is the first year after the household registration, which is of great significance.

Therefore, every household attaches great importance to the New Year. No matter what the family situation is, everyone wants to have a good year.

For the entire morning, the Su family was filled with laughter and busy figures.

Since many families in the village had no one who could write, they came to the Su family with red paper and asked the Su family to help write couplets for the New Year.

These couplets not only represent joy and blessings, but also contain people's good wishes for the new year.

For the villagers who come to seek help, what they ask for is not only a pair of couplets, but also warmth and care.

There were few literate and respected people in the village, and many people respected Su Xuanhu and wanted him to help them write Spring Festival couplets.

Some people also asked Su Mei to write for them. Su Mei is the only college student in the village and was the top scorer in last year's college entrance examination. Naturally, some people would want her writing.

Su Mei can write calligraphy. When she was in the orphanage, there were not many entertainment activities, so the director would arrange for the children to learn musical instruments, paper cutting, and calligraphy.

With the idea that it is better to have many skills, Su Mei learned everything.

Although I'm not very proficient in it, at least I can do it.

Her calligraphy isn't that great, but it's still okay for meeting people.

So when someone asked her to write, she didn't refuse.

After a morning of work, Su Mei's hands were covered with a lot of ink.

However, she felt very happy when she saw the villagers thank her politely.

The Su family didn't calm down until lunchtime.

My brothers all had lunch at their own home.

After lunch, several brothers, their sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces gathered at the old house.

The sisters-in-law followed Bai Xiaofang in the kitchen to prepare dinner for the evening.

In the evening, the Su family prepared to set up three or four tables to celebrate a lively and reunion New Year.

Su Mei ignored her sisters-in-law's attempts to stop her and went into the kitchen to cook.

In the past, Su Mei didn’t know how to cook, and her sisters-in-law were worried that she would make things worse in the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, once she entered the kitchen, she was very adept at cooking and could cook all kinds of dishes well.

This made the sisters-in-law convinced of Su Mei.

In the afternoon, when the setting sun was still in the sky and had not yet fallen down the hillside, the Su family finally sat together and began to eat their New Year's Eve dinner.

The men sat at a table, drinking, making fists, and chatting happily.

The children sat at a table. There was Jianlibao drink on their table. The children ate while drinking the drink, giggling happily.

Su Mei, several sisters-in-law, Bai Xiaofang, and Old Mrs. Huo sat at a separate table.

When women sit together, they talk about women's things. The trivial things in the village are usually the main topics among women.

As Su Mei had been away from home for a long time, she didn't know the specific details of those rumors and gossip.

But it didn't affect her enjoyment of listening.

The gossips in the village are more exciting than novels.

There is not much entertainment in this place, so Su Mei likes to use these gossip information as her own entertainment.

After dinner, several sisters-in-law went to wash the dishes, and then did not leave, but continued to sit in the yard and chat by the fire.

A room full of people sat in the yard until twelve o'clock, and only after midnight did the brothers take the children away.

After everyone had left, the family washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Huo Jianguo drank some wine with the elders, which made him a little tipsy.

He was supported by Su Meiwei and returned to the room.

Even though he was slightly drunk, Huo Jianguo was still clear-headed. He rummaged through his bag, took out a gold ring from the bottom, and put it on Su Mei's hand.

Su Mei had no idea when she bought this ring.

Before she could ask, Huo Jianguo's deep and sexy voice rang in her ears:

"Daughter-in-law, it's a new year again, happy new year, may we have this day every year.

I loved you last year, I still love you this year, and I will love you more and more every year in the future."

Huo Jianguo's voice was like the gurgling of running water, flowing in her ears, and like a clear spring, nourishing her heart.

His words were like a spring breeze, gently brushing past her ears, making her feel his tenderness and love.

Her heart was moved by his voice, as if the whole world became beautiful.

Surrounded by the man's heat, Su Mei was moved. She couldn't help but raise her head slightly and bit Huo Jianguo's delicate and beautiful Adam's apple.

At the moment of biting, Su Mei clearly heard the sound of Huo Jianguo swallowing his saliva.

After being married for two years, he is still at the stage of just getting to know her.

As long as she seduced him a little, his blood would boil.

After her Adam's apple was bitten, Huo Jianguo reached out and held the back of Su Mei's head, and kissed her red lips domineeringly and passionately.

There was a taste of strong liquor in the man's breath, and Su Mei found it bitter and uncomfortable.

But she did not refuse to be intimate with Huo Jianguo at this time to dampen his mood.

But she didn't expect Huo Jianguo to stop kissing her and say:

"I'm sorry, wife, I just wanted to kiss you and I couldn't help it, but I know you don't like the smell of alcohol, let's have a good sleep, and we'll fight again tomorrow night when I sober up."

"Fight again, you big-headed ghost." Su Mei slapped Huo Jianguo on the head.

This man started talking nonsense again. He just relied on the fact that the new house was not built in the yard but next to the yard, so it was soundproof enough.

Then he dared to say anything and no longer concealed his wild nature.

Huo Jianguo really stopped when he was told to stop. He turned around and prepared to climb into bed to sleep.

Su Mei suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"Don't touch me. If you hit me with one finger now, I will want to turn around and fight you for three hundred rounds..." Huo Jianguo looked at Su Mei's hand with a faint voice.

Hearing this, Su Mei quickly pulled back her hand. Although she was reluctant to reject Huo Jianguo, she was also unwilling to be intimate with him when he smelled of alcohol. It would be best if Huo Jianguo could restrain himself. After pulling back her hand, she whispered:

"Wait a moment."

After saying that, Su Mei found her backpack and took out a box containing the ring.

She took out a ring from inside and put it on Huo Jianguo. She said:

"What a coincidence! I also prepared a ring for you because I love you very much and want to use it to hold you tightly."

For Su Mei, the ring is not just a ring, but also her determination to spend every ordinary day with Huo Jianguo.

Last year she forgot to buy a gift for Huo Jianguo.

She remembered it this year, and she will remember it every year thereafter.

"It's not a coincidence, it's called telepathic communication." Looking at the extra ring on his hand, Huo Jianguo's heart was filled with happiness.

Before the first rays of sunlight in the morning completely penetrated the mist, there was already movement in the Su family's courtyard.

Huo Jianguo and Su Mei woke up in the warm quilts. The warmth and restraint of last night seemed to still linger in the air.

Because he knew very well that Su Mei didn't like the taste of alcohol, even though he had all kinds of impulses in his heart, he still chose to respect her.

That night, he and Su Mei covered themselves with a quilt and spent a simple and quiet night.

As soon as the sky was getting light and the sky in the east was turning pale, Huo Fugui got up.

He moved very carefully, not daring to make any sound, for fear of waking up the Su family who were still sleeping.

He still remembered what he had agreed with Huo Jianguo before the New Year - to move back to the Huo family's old house after the New Year.

Therefore, he got up early today and wanted to go back early.

After all, staying in someone else's house for a long time always makes you feel a little embarrassed.

The old lady was sleeping lightly, and Huo Fugui pushed her gently a few times and she woke up.

Huo Fugui leaned close to the old lady's ear and told her to go home.

I had to say it several times before the old lady understood.

The old lady didn't seem surprised, she just nodded to show that she understood.

Although Huo Fugui tried hard to lower his voice, the sound of his voice still attracted the attention of Bai Xiaofang in the next room.

After hearing the sound, Bai Xiaofang immediately woke up her husband Su Yongcang and asked him to get up and see what happened.

Su Yongcang rubbed his eyes, put on his coat, and came to the yard. He saw Huo Fugui packing his luggage, and then he understood.

He hurried forward to stop Huo Fugui and let him stay for a few more days.

But apart from expressing his gratitude earnestly, Huo Fugui had no intention of staying.

Seeing this, Su Yongcang knew that he could not keep the person, so he had to rush to find Huo Jianguo. Some things had to be said by Huo Jianguo himself.

Huo Fugui took this opportunity to help the old lady pack her luggage, and then took her out.

Just as they walked out of the room and were about to step out of the Su family's gate, Huo Jianguo's voice rang out at the right time, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

"Dad, grandma, where are you going so early?" Huo Jianguo stood on the porch, his eyes showing an expression that he had known this would happen.

"I have arranged for people to demolish the old house. It is now just a ruin. You can't go back."

Huo Fugui's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he looked at Huo Jianguo in disbelief, as if he had heard something horrible.

"What did you say? You demolished the old house? Where will we live then?"

Huo Jianguo took a few steps forward, his tone calm but full of power:

"Dad, I know the old house means a lot to you, but it's in such a dilapidated state that it's no longer habitable.

I have decided to build a new house there to make your living more comfortable.

But before that, you can only live here first, and I will take good care of you. "

"Oh, oh ...

"Why did you tear down my house and rebuild it when I live in it perfectly well?"

Huo Fugui was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?

Everything was fine when you came here, but now you can't go back?
