On the 18th day of the 1st lunar month, Wan Guoqiang and Huo Zhenting came to Ning Province.
Huo Jingqian and Wen Yichen went to the train station to pick up the two elderly fathers.
When the four met, they started chatting enthusiastically.
Wen Guoqiang and Huo Zhenting were quite touched by the cold weather in Ning Province, while Huo Jingqian and Wen Yichen were concerned about the health of their two elderly fathers.
After the greetings, Huo Jingqian led everyone into the car.
Along the way, the two fathers asked about the recent developments and changes in the Wenyao factory.
The car drove to the courtyard. Chen Lan and Lin Yun had already prepared a sumptuous meal.
The family sat around the dining table, eating and chatting, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Wen Yao's garment factory was closed on the 20th of December.
Wen Yao distributed wages and bonuses to the workers, allowing everyone to have a prosperous year.
In addition to his monthly salary, Jiang Yu also receives dividends at the end of the year.
Jiang Yu, who received the dividend, excitedly took her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to the town to buy New Year's goods.
Jiang Yu has already made new clothes for them, and she can just buy them a pair of new shoes.
Wen Yao and Wen Yichen were playing chess, while Huo Jingqian and the two old fathers were watching.
Wen Yao is not very good at playing chess and always cannot help regretting his moves.
"Oops, I made a wrong move here. Let me try again." Wen Yao stared at the chessboard and realized that he had made a wrong move. He quickly reached out and took back the wrong chess piece.
"Hey, do you know what it means to never regret a move?" Wen Yichen rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
"Hey, what's wrong with you giving way to me?" Wen Yao said coquettishly.
Wen Yichen couldn't stand his sister's coquettish behavior, so he shook his head helplessly, "Okay, okay, this is the last time!"
"Okay, thank you brother."
A minute later, Wen Yao stared at the chess piece that had gone wrong on the board, tilted his head slightly, and secretly gave Huo Jingqian a look.
Huo Jingqian accepted the hint from his young wife, and immediately stood up and bent over to take the water cup next to Wen Yichen.
"Brother, I'll go get you a cup of hot water."
Wen Yao took advantage of Huo Jingqian's cover and quickly replaced the chess pieces on the board.
After Huo Jingqian left, Wen Yichen made his next move, but he didn't even notice the chess pieces being swapped on the board.
Before they had taken a few steps, Wen Yao managed to beat Wen Yichen by just one move.
Wen Yichen found it unbelievable that he had lost the game.
놛 stared at the chessboard carefully and found that the chess piece he had moved previously had been swapped by Wen Yao.
Huo Jingqian rolled his eyes helplessly, "It's clear that you two are playing a trick on Chen Cang while pretending to build a fortress."
Wen Yaochong stuck out his tongue and made a face.
Wen Guoqiang and Huo Zhenting watched the battle of wits and courage between the two siblings and laughed their heads off.
As the New Year approaches, the family compound gradually takes on a festive atmosphere.
The adults were busy buying New Year's goods, while the children were excitedly setting off firecrackers.
Wen Yao decided to take advantage of the holiday to have a good rest and at the same time think about the future development direction of the garment factory.
At the beginning of the year, the new factory was ready for use.
Lu Xue has been going to Wen Yao's house all the time recently, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what she is planning.
Wen Yichen didn't know whether he knew what Lu Xue was thinking or he really didn't know.
Chen Lan also likes Lu Xue very much, but she knows that young people's feelings should be allowed to develop naturally.
She had already interfered once and didn't want to interfere a second time.
The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.
Heavy snow fell from the sky again.
Wen Yichen left the army and rushed to the family compound.
As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I saw Lu Xue waiting there with a plastic bag in her hand, wearing a red woolen hat and scarf.
Wen Yichen slowed down his pace upon seeing this.
"Xiaoxue, why are you like this?" Wen Yichen asked.
"Brother Wen, I'll wait for you here." Lu Xue's fair cheeks were red from the cold.
White snowflakes fell on her hat and body.
"It's so cold, you should stay at home. What are you waiting for me to do?" Wen Yichen said.
"I..." Lu Xue lowered her head, hesitating, not knowing how to start. Her face was red, not sure if it was because of shyness or because she was frozen.
"What's wrong?" Wen Yichen saw her hesitating, smiled slightly, and asked softly.
"Brother Wen, I...I..." Lu Xue looked at Wen Yichen, unable to say what she was thinking.
Wen Yichen saw that she seemed to have something to say to him, so he didn't urge her and just stood quietly by and watched her.
"Brother Wen, this is the scarf and gloves I knitted for you. I hope you like them."
Lu Xue mustered up her courage and handed the bag in her hand to Wen Yichen.
Wen Yichen was stunned when he heard this.
"For me? Thank you."
놛 took the bag and pulled out a scarf made of dark blue wool and gloves of the same color.
"Don't you want to try it?" Lu Xue said.
"Oh, no, it's not cold and I don't need it for now." Wen Yichen smiled and put the scarf and gloves back into the bag.
"This is my first time knitting a scarf. Look, I have frostbite on my hands," Lu Xue said as she took off her gloves and showed her palms to Wen Yichen.
Wen Yichen looked at the frostbite on Lu Xue's hand and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. He quickly picked up Lu Xue's gloves and put them on hers, saying caringly, "How did it become like this? It hurts, right? Don't weave it again in the future."
Lu Xue's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and whispered, "I just want to give you a gift... It's okay, it won't hurt."
Wen Yichen was thinking in his heart that if he were a few years younger, if there was no one else in his life, then listening to Lu Xue's words at this moment would definitely cause ripples in his heart.
Lu Xue went to her sister's house every day these days, ostensibly to chat with her sister, but actually she wanted to be closer to her.
It's not that I can't see it, I just don't want to respond.
There is no room for others in your heart now.
놛 looked at Lu Xue and said seriously: "Thank you, Xiao Xue, I like this gift very much, but please don't do anything for me in the future, I can't afford it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xue looked at Wen Yichen in surprise with her big eyes.
"Brother Wen, I don't need you to pay me back."
"But I will have a burden in my heart. You are Xingzhou's sister, and I treat you as my sister. That's all, nothing else," Wen Yichen said.
Although 놛 has always treated Lu Xue as her sister, 놛 knows that Lu Xue's feelings for 놛 are more than that.
Lu Xue's eyes instantly turned red when she heard this, "Brother Wen, you..."
"Xiaoxue, you are a good girl, I don't want to hurt you, so..."
Before Wen Yichen finished speaking, Lu Xue took a step forward excitedly and hugged Wen Yichen's waist.
"Brother Wen, what did I do wrong? Tell me and I will fix it right away."
Wen Yichen's hands froze in the air, "No, you are fine, you don't need to change for anyone"
"Then why don't you like me? Why? Is it because I love you because you are younger?" Lu Xue's tears burst out.
"No, Xiaoxue, we are not suitable, I don't want to hurt you"
"No, who said we are not suitable? From the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. Brother Wen, can you try to like me?"
