Chapter 498: First time celebrating Chinese New Year with my family (more)
Wu Jun and Xie Zheyu went to deliver freshly fried fish to Wu Chongnan's family.
In recent years, the two siblings of the Wu family have celebrated the New Year at Wu Chongnan's house. This year is different, Xie Zheyu and his family came to Guangzhou to celebrate the New Year.
Wu Shanshan and Xie Zheyu planned to celebrate the New Year in Wu Shanshan's little house, because his dormitory had no kitchen, but Wu Shanshan's home had one.
Originally, Wu Chongnan wanted to invite them to his home to celebrate the New Year together, but his wife Tang Yun did not let him mention it.
She said: "This is the first time for the two of us to celebrate Chinese New Year together with our family in a real sense. We will celebrate together again next year and it will be even more lively."
Wu Chongnan thought about it carefully, shook his wife's hand and said:
"You're really thoughtful. Yes! Shanshan and Xiaojun finally have a real family. I'm so happy for them!"
In this way, real families gathered together to celebrate the New Year.
Xie's mother and Wu Shanshan slept in the inner room, Xie's father and grandfather slept on the bed in the outer room, and Xie Zheyu, Wu Jun, etc. put away the table at night and each of them put out a camp bed to sleep on.
The temperature is good now, neither too hot nor too cold. It’s crowded, but it’s really lively.
Early this morning, Xie's mother and father started preparing the New Year's meal. The small kitchen was full of food, some of which they brought from Suzhou, and some of which they bought in Guangzhou.
The two of them were determined not to let Wu Shanshan take action, but allowed the two boys to make things worse.
Laughter could be heard from the small kitchen from time to time.
Wu Shanshan sat in the room in a daze.
Grandpa sat beside her, tasted a peeled orange slice, nodded and said "sweet", then handed it to Wu Shanshan:
"Nannan, eat."
"Ah, Grandpa, you can eat the sweet ones."
"Nanny eats the sweet ones, and Grandpa will peel them for me."
This was the first time in Wu Shanshan's life that someone called her "Nannan".
When she helped her grandfather with things, he would even call her "good girl" or "my good girl".
Every time she heard the call, her eyes would become wet, and one of the numerous wounds in her heart would be reduced.
Sometimes, when she and Zheyu talked about work, Xie's father, mother and grandfather would whisper, "Our Shanshan is so amazing" and "Our Shanshan knows everything." When Wu Shanshan looked over, they even looked at her with admiration.
Wu Shanshan blushed profusely. Now she understood why Xie Zheyu could do anything without blushing or getting nervous.
In the afternoon, Xie's mother's fried fish came out of the pot, and the aroma was fragrant. She suggested sending some hot fish to Wu Chongnan's family to add a New Year's dish for them.
So, Xie Zheyu and Wu Jun took on the task of running errands.
One of them was holding fried fish, while the other was holding New Year flowers in his left hand and fruits in his right hand, and they went to Wu Chongnan's house.
His home is not far from the factory, and the fish were still hot when he arrived.
At the door, Wu Jun called out, "Uncle Nan, we're here to deliver some food!"
When Wu Chongnan heard the sound at the gate of the courtyard, he hurriedly stopped his son from opening the door and went to open it himself.
Seeing him come to open the door, Wu Jun raised the large enamel basin in his hand and said, "Uncle Wu, I wish you a prosperous new year!"
Xie Zheyu then raised the flower bowl in his hand and said, "The bowl is full!"
"Please come in, please come in!" Wu Chongnan responded happily and welcomed the two "little gods of wealth" into the house.
I gave away a pot of fried fish, and in return I received a soy sauce chicken and a pot full of hot pot dishes.

Before leaving, the two children of the Wu family stuffed their pockets full of imported candies.
After giving away the "wealth", the two came back arm in arm.
Wu Jun suddenly looked back.
"What's wrong? Did you see your classmates?" Xie Zheyu asked.
Wu Jun shook his head: "I seemed to see... No, nothing, I must have seen it wrong. They can't be in Guangzhou."
Xie Zheyu seemed to understand immediately, patted Wu Jun on the shoulder and said:
"It's New Year's Day, so don't tell your sister nonsense when you go back. It'll remind her of sad things."
"I know, I know! I was wrong." Wu Jun nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Xie Zheyu had one hand free, so he stroked his neatly combed hair and then stuffed an imported candy into his mouth.
"Oh, I don't want to eat it. Leave it for my aunt! She likes to eat candy." After Wu Jun got the candy, he decided to save it all for Xie's mother.
"And a full pocket." Xie Zheyu opened his pocket, and sure enough, it was full of candies.
The two of them went home together affectionately.
Across the street.
Wu Jianguo pushed Zhang A-mei, who was so tired that she almost wanted to hang on him, in disgust. He glanced to the side and saw two young people walking across the street from a distance.
He thought to himself, I wonder what Wu Jun looks like now!
I haven't seen you for three years. Maybe I wouldn't recognize you even if we met face to face!
He couldn't help but look back. The two boys said something to each other, and the shorter one laughed loudly, which made everyone smile.
Zhang A-mei came over again, and Wu Jianguo returned to the real world.
He thought that he had given everything to Zhang Min, but she took all the money in the house and disappeared.
If he hadn't treated Shanshan and Xiaojun like that, would we not be living like this now?
If I hadn't gotten married, would the outcome have been different?
Thinking of this, his heart turned cold and he felt only despair.
But he knew there was no going back.
The two stayed at the train station for three days before boarding the train to Shanghai and returning to Suzhou.
On the fifth day of the New Year, Huang Ling received a call from Li Yiming.
Li Yiming said in a low voice: "Aunt, Uncle Wu... committed suicide."
