On New Year's Eve, Xu Jianguo's living room was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, and was not affected at all by what happened on Li Taowan's side.
Because no one had anything to do tomorrow, after some discussion, everyone decided to stay up all night at Xu Jianguo's house tonight to celebrate the New Year.
Seeing that all the old men and women had spoken, even though Xu Jianguo was worried about their health, there was nothing he could do but agree with a smile.
Although he was worried about the health of the elderly, he was also very happy to be able to stay up with them to celebrate the New Year.
As the New Year's bell rang on TV and the song "Unforgettable Tonight" sounded, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian, along with all the children in the family, began to kowtow to the elders and wish them a happy new year. This action immediately caused the old men and women to laugh heartily.
You have to know that those who can come to Xu Jianguo’s home to celebrate the New Year are either those who lost their significant other during the war or those who lost their children in the war.
Xu Jianguo knew what the old people were thinking, and with the special care that Su Dingshan and the old men showed him, he took the initiative to assume the responsibility of providing for the old people.
As the ceremony of kowtow and New Year's greetings came to an end, the elderly people began to dig into their pockets and distribute the red envelopes they had prepared long ago to everyone one by one.
Even Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian, two "old kids" who have already started families and are about to turn 50, received red envelopes.
After the old people had distributed the red envelopes, Xu Jianguo took out a large stack of red envelopes from his pocket like a magic trick and began to distribute them to everyone, even the old people, Liang Chao, Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang were not left out. Suddenly, the living room of the Xu family turned into a sea of joy.
Little Hongdou even held up a thick stack of red envelopes in her hand and happily spun around the sofa, making everyone laugh.
As the red envelope distribution session ended, the children got dressed and ran to the yard to set off firecrackers and fireworks, while Xu Jianguo, Lin Hongtao and Liang Chao went into the kitchen again and soon brought plates of steaming dumplings to the table.
Today's dumplings were still packed in advance by Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi and frozen in the yard. In order to suit the occasion, the two of them also specially wrapped a lot of sugar cubes and cleaned and disinfected coins in the dumplings at the instruction of Xu Jianguo.
Everyone who ate the candy and coins couldn't help but smile happily.
This year's Spring Festival, the person who ate the most coins in the family was Hu Xiaohui, who had just gotten married not long ago.
After everyone had eaten the dumplings, she announced a piece of good news that once again ignited the enthusiasm of the whole family.
That is, with the continuous efforts of the couple, a new life was successfully conceived in Hu Xiaohui's belly. No, it should be said that two lives were conceived.
Yes, she was pregnant with twins.
When Hu Xiaohui announced that she was pregnant, everyone in the restaurant was stunned at first, and then the atmosphere became lively.
Among them, only one person was still in a daze, and that person was naturally Xu Zhengyang himself.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo slapped him lightly on the back of the head in annoyance and scolded him with a smile: "What are you doing, you little brat? Go take care of your wife!"
It was not until then that Xu Zhengyang came to his senses, and then he wanted to get close to Hu Xiaohui with a silly smile on his face.
But at this time, Hu Xiaohui was already surrounded by people, not to mention Wen Sitian, Daya, Erya, Funniu, Lele and Xiao Hongdou, even a group of old ladies had gathered around, and there was no place for Xu Zhengyang at all.
Xu Jianguo, Xu Ping'an, Lin Hongtao, Liang Chao and a group of old men looked at his silly look and burst into laughter.
Finally, after Wen Sitian, Daya and the old ladies had conveyed their experiences to Hu Xiaohui, Xu Zhengyang had the opportunity to come to Hu Xiaohui's side.
There were no sweet words between the couple, but they just smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
In fact, if we talk about who is the happiest person in the family, Xu Zhengyang may be ranked second. On the contrary, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian can't suppress the smiles on their faces no matter what.
Since the birth of Xiao Hongdou, no new life has been born in Xu Jianguo's family for a long time. The good news brought by Xu Zhengyang and Hu Xiaohui this time directly indicates that the third generation of the Xu family is about to arrive.
Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian will also be promoted from the status of parents to grandparents. How can they not be happy about this?
In addition to the two of them, the other female members of the family are also very happy. Daya, Erya and Funiu will become aunts, and Lele, Xiaohongdou and Xu Ping'an will also be upgraded to aunts and uncles.
After calming down his excitement, Xu Jianguo walked to Hu Xiaohui's side, reached out to take her pulse, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up again.
When Xu Jianguo announced that Hu Xiaohui was pregnant with two babies, the crowd cheered again.
Later, after Wen Sitian's inquiries, she found out that Hu Xiaohui's mother's family had a gene for conceiving twins. His mother's two younger brothers, Hu Xiaohui's fourth uncle and eldest uncle, were twins.
You have to know that it is 1992 now, and family planning can be regarded as the basic national policy of Longxia Kingdom for the next 20 to 30 years. So in this era when most families only have one child, Hu Xiaohui was able to give the Xu family two children at once. This is definitely a great contributor to the entire Xu family.
…
Seeing that it was almost one o'clock in the morning, the old men and women, after experiencing the lively New Year's Eve, were ready to leave Xu Jianguo's home and go back to rest.
It’s not that Xu Jianguo didn’t want them to stay overnight, it’s just that there wasn’t enough space at home.
The three old men, Su Dingshan, Wu Tianlong and Wang Huaian, were easy to deal with as they all lived in the compound of the Security Bureau. On the contrary, the old man and Grandma Deng lived a little further away.
Finally, after some discussion, Xu Jianguo asked Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang to be responsible for sending the three old men and women back home.
He and Liang Chao were responsible for sending the old man and Grandma Deng back to Hongqiang.
Because of the snow on the road, Liang Chao drove very slowly for safety reasons.
On the way, the old man looked at Xu Jianguo who was sitting in the passenger seat and asked him what he thought about what had just happened to Li Taowan.
