Chapter 114: It Was Seen
The Jiang sisters didn't think much about it, but Gu Dongqing and Feng Yujun couldn't bear to watch.
"I'm leaving."
Feng Yujun went forward to call for help.
Gu Dongqing raised his foot and kicked Pei Che on the butt.
Pei Che was quick-witted and jumped to the side.
He protected his butt with one hand.
"I say, Lao Si, what are you doing? It's a bad omen to touch someone on New Year's Day, don't you know?"
Pei Che spoke righteously.
Gu Dongqing twitched the corner of his mouth, but not only did he not stop, but he continued to move forward.
The posture was that he was going to continue kicking Pei Che.
Pei Che quickly ran to the side, not daring to provoke Gu Dongqing again.
The old man and the old lady watched their interaction with a smile, and when Pei Che and the others got in the car, they did not forget to remind them to come to their house for dinner often when they were free.
"Don't worry, grandma. I promise to come often. The fourth child's home is my home."
"Well, that's good, that's good, this is your home."
The old lady didn't just talk, she really treated Pei Che and Feng Yujun as her own family.
Looking at the trunk full of meat and vegetables, as well as two clucking chickens in a cage, you can tell that he truly treats them as his own family, which is why he prepared so many things for them to take back.
Afraid that they would be hungry in the city.
Even though Feng Yujun and Pei Che repeatedly said that there was everything in the city, the old lady still thought they would be hungry.
Without waiting for them to do anything, the old lady carried the things and loaded them into the car herself, leaving them no choice but to accept them.
They couldn't refuse the kindness, so they had no choice but to accept the gift.
Not long after Feng Yujun and his friends left, the originally clear weather began to rain again, and it looked like it was going to be freezing rain.
The old lady went about gathering all the vegetables from the fields and putting them in the cellar.
Sisters Jiang Meiyue and Jiang Xinyue each carried a backpack and went to the vegetable garden. They quickly collected the rolled cabbages and lettuce.
They had just returned home when it was getting dark.
There was still a drizzle in the sky.
The yard was a little damp and the wind was exceptionally cold, but it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the New Year.
Jiang Xinyue put on gloves and hats for her sister and little niece, and took them to set off firecrackers in the yard.
Gu Dongqing bought a lot of firecrackers. In addition to setting off firecrackers during the New Year’s Eve dinner, he also prepared some to set off at midnight.
In addition, he also prepared some sparklers for the children at home for them to play with.
For people at this time, the New Year atmosphere is enough to offset the cold night.
They were laughing and chatting in the yard, while the family members were sitting by the fire in the main room, watching the children playing outside and listening to the occasional sound of firecrackers coming from the distant village.
If their family members were not around them, it would be hard to believe that a family like theirs could have such a happy day.
The family was roasting fire and eating melon seeds. When it was twelve o'clock, Jiang Xinyue, who was yawning, went to light the firecrackers. After watching the firecrackers explode with a crackling sound, she went back to her room to sleep.
After a busy day, the house finally quieted down after midnight.
Jiang Mingyue was almost falling asleep.
When Gu Dongqing came back from washing up and held her in his arms, she remembered what was in her heart, opened her eyes forcefully and asked the man beside her.
"Does Pei Che like Xinyue?"
Although the other party didn't say anything, Jiang Mingyue had a woman's intuition.
She had a feeling that Pei Che seemed to be interested in her sister.
And she was not the only one who felt this. Her eldest sister might have noticed it as well. However, because of the other party's identity and the fact that Xinyue was still in school, her eldest sister did not dare to say it out loud.
But Gu Dongqing is her man, and Jiang Mingyue has doubts in her heart, so it’s okay to ask her husband.
Gu Dongqing was not surprised either.
After all, Pei Che's performance was obvious enough in his opinion.
"He won't disturb Xinyue from going to school."
If Pei Che dared to affect Jiang Xinyue's schooling, not only Gu Dongqing would not let him go, even Feng Yujun would not let him go.
Jiang Mingyue hummed in a daze, and finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
Gu Dongqing gently embraced her and used one hand to massage her calves to relax her.
Every night he would massage her legs to prevent her legs and feet from edema.
The kneading with moderate force will not wake Jiang Mingyue up.
On the contrary, she fell into a deeper sleep because she felt more comfortable.
The next day was the first day of 1986, the first day of the first lunar month.
It drizzled for half the night last night, but it stopped in the second half of the night. The cold wind blew for half the night, and the ground was dry.
There was an activity in the village today. Early in the morning, Jiang Xinyue changed into new clothes and took her two little followers to the village to play.
The old man and the old lady also plan to go there and take a look.
Jiang Meiyue accompanied them.
"Mingyue, are you going?"
Before leaving, Jiang Meiyue asked her.
Jiang Mingyue looked outside and nodded slowly, "Sister, you guys go first, Dong Qing and I will go later."
Her belly is big and she moves slowly. If she lets her elder sister and the others wait, they will have to wait for a long time. It would be better to let them go first.
With Gu Dongqing by her side, Jiang Meiyue was no longer worried. She nodded in agreement and left home with her grandparents.
Jiang Mingyue also packed up and went out with Gu Dongqing.
Their family has been having a miserable time in recent years. Even on a day like the first day of the first lunar month, no one would come to their house to pay New Year's greetings.
This year should be the same.
So when Jiang Mingyue went out, she locked the door without hesitation.
What she didn't expect was that after walking a short distance, she met neighbors from the village who came to their house to pay New Year's greetings.
Jiang Mingyue was a little confused. She didn't expect that someone would come to their house to wish them a happy new year.
After a moment of doubt, she smiled faintly and slowly walked forward to say hello.
The other party was a village lady, and we didn't interact much with each other normally. When we met on the first day of the new year, we naturally greeted each other with a smile.
Of course, it was just a greeting.
As for bringing someone home to sit for a while? Jiang Mingyue had no such plan.
The other party was too embarrassed to ask Jiang Mingyue to go back and open the door to let her in.
He could only smile and say a few words to Jiang Mingyue before leaving in shame.
Jiang Mingyue looked at her neighbor's back as he left, chuckled and shook her head.
This person is really very realistic.
In the past, when their family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, no one came to their house even though the grass was growing outside.
Now that conditions at home are better, more people come to visit.
Of course, everyone came with different purposes. Jiang Mingyue didn’t think about their purposes for the time being. She knew that no matter in the past or now, their family didn’t need anyone to please them.
The couple walked slowly to the village committee and watched the New Year activities held in the village.
Although the weather was cold, the activities held in the village created a lively atmosphere, making people forget the cold weather for a short while.
Someone saw them and waved to Gu Dongqing to join the competition.
