Chapter 399 Returning to My Mother's Home for New Year's Greetings
There was a red light outside the window.
It was lit by the red lantern at the door.
Plus it snows.
Therefore, the red light is particularly obvious.
Jiang Fubao's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he soon fell asleep.
When I woke up again, everything outside was covered in silver. The peach and persimmon trees had all put on new clothes.
All white shirts.
The snow in the yard was swept clean by the servants.
After breakfast, Jiang Fubao put on waterproof leather boots, gloves and a scarf, and went outside to play in the snow.
Due to snow, today's New Year's greetings are cancelled.
Jiang Fubao had a lot of fun playing with his brothers and sisters and friends in the village.
After making the snowman, they started having a snowball fight.
It was too cold outside, so children under seven years old didn't go out.
Jiang Fubao didn't call Jiang Kang specifically.
After all, he was only three years old, and his legs would sink into the snow with his small body.
If you catch a cold, your life will be in danger.
Play until morning.
Jiang Fubao was sweating all over. She went back to the main room and drank some hot tea. She was ready to continue the battle. She walked to the doorstep and was about to step out when she found three uninvited guests coming towards her.
"Fubao, I'm your aunt. Why don't you call me when you see me? You don't know any manners. But I still want to wish you a happy new year. Zong'er, hurry up and call me. This is your cousin. It's the first time you meet your cousin. Your cousin must give you a big red envelope, right, Fubao?"
The person who spoke was Jiang Sanhe.
"No, I don't have any money. Besides, it's not reasonable for ordinary people to give red envelopes. Besides, this is not the first time I've met him."
Jiang Fubao sneered.
Pull your foot back.
He shouted into the house, "Grandma, look who's here."
She didn't even want to call her aunt.
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Jinlan walked out of the main room. The moment she saw her daughter, the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
The speed of changing face is unparalleled.
"Mom, what are you talking about? It's New Year's Day and I'm bringing your grandson to pay New Year's greetings. Shouldn't you welcome us? By the way, mom, we're going to stay here for one night. My mother-in-law knows that it's rare for me to come back, and she wants us, mother and daughter, to have a good chat.
Thanks to the fact that the two villages are not far from each other and the heavy snow, we are all soaked all the way. Mom, please go get us some clothes to change into, so we don’t catch a cold.”
The village is nearby, but she hasn't been back for several years.
When Jiang Sanhe said this, Jiang Fubao felt embarrassed for her.
But the person involved looked indifferent.
Jiang Sanhe took her son's hand and went straight to the main room. They sat around the charcoal stove and asked her mother for ginger soup again.
Sun Fu didn't say a word the whole time.
Pretending to be dumb.
Also in the main room were other members of the Jiang family.
They said nothing and all had stern faces.
I was even too lazy to say a word to Jiang Sanhe. The originally lively atmosphere became quiet after the arrival of this family of three.
Completely disappeared.
"Are you here to wish everyone a happy new year?" Jiang Shoujia was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"Yes, Dad, I haven't been back for so long, don't you miss me? Also, you haven't seen Zong'er since he was born. Zong'er, call grandpa and grandma and ask them to give you a thick red envelope. Dad, Mom, this is the first time you see your grandson, you should at least give a few taels of silver, right?"
Jiang Sanhe wanted to hold her mother's arm.
But Zhang Jinlan dodged it.
She had no choice but to give up.
There wasn't a trace of embarrassment on his face.
It seemed that as long as she came back, the conflict would disappear.
"Humph, this is the first time I've seen someone come to pay New Year's greetings empty-handed. You're not here to pay New Year's greetings, you're here to get some free money, right?"
Jiang Eryong snorted coldly and rolled his eyes.
"What a boast! The red envelopes for Fubao and his friends were only 300 wen. Why should you give him a few taels? What? Is his last name Jiang? Why don't you just give him all the Jiang family's property? You're taking advantage of my parents."
Jiang Yahe also retorted.
"How can it be the same? Although Zong'er is my grandson, he is a boy. How can he be compared to girls like Fubao? Girls will belong to others sooner or later. But our Zong'er is different. He is the only child of my grandson's family and my only son. He is very precious.
Mother, I know I made you angry before, please forgive me, now I finally come back, let's not talk about these unhappy things, we haven't had breakfast yet, mother, I want to eat meat."
When Jiang Sanhe passed by the kitchen, she smelled the aroma of meat.
She swallowed.
When Sun Guangzong heard this, he burst into tears.
He is already six years old this year.
Jiang Kang doesn't behave as sensible as a three-year-old.
The harsh sound made Jiang Fubao frown.
"Mom, I want to eat meat. I want to eat meat. You clearly told me that there was meat and money at my grandmother's house. You lied to me. I have been sitting here till now and still haven't eaten any meat. I won't do it. I want to eat meat, meat, I want to eat meat."
Sun Guangzong deliberately fell off the stool.
He lay on the ground, stumbling and rolling.
"My dear son, you will be able to eat soon. Get up quickly." Jiang Sanhe didn't even say a word of blame. She tried to coax her son, but Sun Guangzong ignored her.
"I want to eat meat, and I want to eat it now. If you don't give me meat, I won't get up. I want to eat meat."
It looks like they won't stop until they see the meat.
It's so annoying.
A total naughty kid.
"Let me eat your milk-skinned swallow, pure meat!" Jiang Fubao couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Fortunately, only Jiang Tongtu heard it.
He chuckled and doubled over with laughter.
“Hahahahahahaha——” The thunderous laughter made Sun Guangzong stop crying.
"Son, what are you laughing at?" Sun Pingmei looked suspicious. She always felt that her son was up to something bad.
"No, it's nothing, just continue crying." Jiang Tongtu would naturally not betray his sister, he said to Sun Guangzong.
"Wuwuwawa, ah ah, I want to eat meat." Sun Guangzong was obedient.
He continued to howl.
Not a single tear fell on my face.
“Shut up! Get out if you cry again!” Jiang Shoujia rubbed his temples and shouted with a sullen face.
Sun Guangzong, who was used to being a bully at home, refused to listen.
Until he was grabbed by the collar and thrown out the door by Jiang Dahe.
Pretending to cry turned into real crying.
"Brother, what are you doing? This is your own nephew! Our Zong'er is only six years old. How did I offend you? You can't even tolerate a child. If you have the guts, come at me and hit me."
Jiang Sanhe was heartbroken.
She quickly picked up Sun Guangzong and coaxed him.
If you don’t know, you would think Sun Guangzong was a two-year-old baby.
He is obviously very fat and tall.
His figure is that of an eight or nine-year-old boy.
The intimacy between mother and son seemed weird no matter how you looked at it.
The grandson continued to sit in the main room without saying a word, his butt never leaving the stool.
It was as if the mother and son outside had nothing to do with him.
"Dad, Mom, I've come to apologize, what else do you want? It's New Year's Day, do you have to make us so unhappy? Zong'er, stop crying, we'll be able to eat meat soon. Be obedient, let's go inside, it's cold outside, if you keep crying, be careful your uncle will throw you out again."
Both coaxing and scaring.
Sun Guangzong finally shut up.
