Xia Weian and Song Qingyun chatted with the children for a while and then let them play by themselves.
Xia Changle pulled Lu Huailin to his room, and the two little ones chatted while grumbling and gesturing at their new clothes.
Xia Ruokui and her sisters also returned to their rooms.
After being busy for such a long time, we suddenly have some free time and can enjoy some quiet time. Everyone is still a little uncomfortable with it.
Han Chengwu returned to the backyard. When he arrived, he found Li Zhao sitting in his room with red eyes.
Han Chengwu went up and patted Li Zhao's shoulder gently, without saying anything, and washed a towel for him to apply to his face.
"Chengwu, you are really my good brother and you are so nice to me." Li Zhao said with a smile.
Han Chengwu rolled his eyes at him.
"You're still the eldest brother, haven't you ever thought about embarrassing yourself in front of your sisters?"
"I thought about it, but I was so emotional at the time that I couldn't control myself." Li Zhao scratched his head embarrassedly.
Han Chengwu smiled and said, "That's normal. I almost did that just now..."
"Really? Why is my godmother so good to me? Look at the clothes she made for me. Look, my clothes even have my last name on them."
"You talk as if no one has done that." Han Chengwu shook his clothes.
The two brothers smiled at each other.
The children spent the whole afternoon doing their own things, and when it was almost time for dinner, they all came out of the yard again.
Li Zhao asked everyone to set off firecrackers, while Han Chengwu was busy cooking.
While the family was having a lively New Year's Eve dinner, Song Qingyun took out the wine that she and Xia Weian had collected.
The girls are too young to drink, but Xia Weian, Han Chengwu and Li Zhao can drink a little.
Song Qingyun made some sweet soup for the children, and the children were in a good mood.
"Our family has experienced a lot this year. The sufferings of the past are not worth singing about, but we look forward to the happiness of the future together. I wish you all a happy new year!" Xia Weian said solemnly, holding up his glass.
"Happy New Year!" Xia Changle was the first to respond.
The other children responded as well.
"Happy New Year!"
The sound of clinking glasses echoed in the courtyard, followed by laughter and joy. This year was a happy one.
The night is dark.
Xia Weian and Song Qingyun lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. So many things had changed after their rebirth, but they were all moving in a good direction.
"Chengwu told me privately today that if I go to work in the army, they will provide a position for whatever job I want." Song Qingyun said with a smile.
"I live on my wife."
Xia Weian hugged Song Qingyun's arm with a hint of joking in his tone.
Song Qingyun patted him.
The couple quarreled for a while.
Xia Weian asked, "Do you want to join the army?"
Song Qingyun's expression also became serious.
"In the beginning, I actually thought that joining the army would save me a lot of trouble, but I wasn't sure if I could handle the job the army would give me."
"If it's just a simple file repair, it should be possible, but what if there is something else?" Song Qingyun said with a frown.
"You go to the army to help them repair documents. If you go to work, you should do related clerical work. I think you can do it." Xia Weian held Song Qingyun's hand.
Sooner or later they would have to leave Qingshan Village, although joining the army was a direction they had never thought of.
"But if we go to the army, what will happen to Suihe? Brother Sui wants to teach her, and Suihe must stay with him. Suihe is so young, I don't feel comfortable leaving her here alone."
When mentioning Xia Suihe, Xia Weian's expression also became solemn.
Yes, Suihe is only four years old. They now leave her at Sui Chengxiao’s house and she only comes back two days a week. They already feel very distressed about her.
If their whole family moved to Han Chengwu's unit, Xia Suihe would have to either stay or stop studying...
They think it is not okay to give up halfway or leave the child alone after finally meeting such a good teacher.
Finally, the couple exchanged glances.
"I'm not going."
"If we don't go, Chengwu and Ruokui won't be able to see each other often."
In fact, what initially made Song Qingyun want to join the army was not the conditions offered by the army, but the fact that it allowed Han Chengwu and Xia Ruokui to meet frequently.
The young couple are so far apart and cannot be together often, and this kind of longing is very torturous.
"Once Ruokui graduates from junior high school and is a little older, you can let her consider attending high school in the military. In fact, the college entrance examination will be resumed in two years."
"With Ruo Kui's current learning ability, if Sister Wan gives her extra lessons after the New Year, she can finish junior high school in one year and high school in another year. She can then take the college entrance exam early."
"She can apply to a university in the Chengwu Military Region, and then they can meet."
"Yes, but I always feel a little wronged Ruo Kui."
Xia Weian nodded.
"I feel a little wronged."
But they could only compare the two and choose the lesser of the two. Suihe was too small, and the couple sighed heavily.
"You should also talk to Ruokui about this matter." Xia Weian said while holding Song Qingyun's hand.
Song Qingyun nodded.
"We stayed here for Suihe, and we wronged Ruoqiu."
"Ruo Kui has already suffered so much with us, and now we have to let her suffer..."
Song Qingyun felt uncomfortable.
The same goes for Xia Weian. Xia Ruokui is their eldest daughter, and when she was born, she also carried their hopes.
It’s just that they are at the bottom of the Xia family.
In the eyes of the Xia family, the Xia Ruokui sisters are little slaves born to a big slave.
They had a hard childhood.
Recalling the past, both of them sighed heavily.
"Go to sleep and don't think about the past. Our lives are getting better and better now."
Song Qingyun responded softly.
Neither of the couple spoke any more, and the night engulfed the entire mountain village.
New Year's Day.
When we woke up in the morning, everyone greeted each other enthusiastically.
Song Qingyun distributed the red envelopes he had prepared early to the children.
Li Zhao and Han Chengwu looked at the red envelopes in their hands in disbelief.
"Godmother, we are already so old, and we still have red envelopes!"
Li Zhao was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and Han Chengwu hit him.
"Stop smiling before asking questions. Seem more genuine. You're acting too fake right now." Han Chengwu laughed.
"Sisters, big brother also gave out red envelopes."
Li Zhao immediately took out eleven red envelopes from his pocket and gave them to his seven sisters, Lu Huailin, Gu Xu, Xia Weian and Song Qingyun.
"Mom and Dad, this is my gift to you. It's also for Xuxu. He's not here, so Mom, please keep it for him and give it to him when we meet." Li Zhao smiled.
Han Chengwu also took out eleven red envelopes, "Uncle San, Aunt San, Happy New Year!"
Song Qingyun took it with a smile, "Happy New Year!"
The room was filled with joy early in the morning.
