After the two of them arrived home, Tang Ze followed Gu Jingchuan's example and first opened the sealed stove and filled it with coal.
Lin Min turned on the color TV in the room. The party was not over yet. She poured some melon seeds and candies into the fruit bowl. Then the three of them sat down and watched TV while eating melon seeds.
See.
The stove soon became hot. Tang Ze took a small kettle, boiled a pot of water, and made a cup of tea for the youngest and his sister.
After drinking the tea, they were no longer sleepy at all. The three of them watched the show with great energy. When they saw the funny skits, Lin Min and Tang Ze laughed so hard that they fell over.
Molly looked at the two children's bright smiles and her face was filled with relief.
At this moment, if she were in Bincheng and her old Tang was also here, everything would be perfect.
When the early morning bell rang, Lin Min happily stood up, took a string of firecrackers and a pile of fireworks, and looked at Tang Ze, "Let's go, let's go set off the firecrackers and fireworks."
Tang Ze met his sister's sparkling eyes and smiled lovingly, "Ah."
Lin Min turned on the light in the yard, then took out the firecrackers and asked Tang Ze to light a stick of incense with his experience.
It is too dangerous to light it with matches or lighter.
Using long incense sticks to light firecrackers is safer as it allows for a longer distance.
When they went out, the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks outside had already begun to fill the sky.
People have always attached great importance to setting off firecrackers in the early morning to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new.
There are also some people who are particular about this and go to the temple to burn the first incense at 12:00 a.m. on time to get good luck.
All these customs express people's yearning for a better life.
Molly followed them to the yard and watched the two older children holding firecrackers and fireworks and setting them off solemnly just like the younger children.
Lin Min set off the firecrackers first, and then placed the fireworks in the middle of the yard. After lighting them, the three of them watched the brilliant fireworks rush up into the sky.
They stood in the yard, each with a bright smile on their face.
After the fireworks were over, they were still not satisfied and did not rush into the house. Molly looked at her son and daughter, looking at them tenderly, "Aze, Xiaomin, Happy New Year.
”
Tang Ze replied happily, "Happy New Year, Mom."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Min again, "Happy New Year, sister."
Lin Min met the gazes of the two men who were looking at her. She could see from their eyes that in addition to blessings, there was also some expectation.
She knew very well what they expected.
She looked at them. Under the light, their eyes were so bright and sincere.
The softest part of her heart was touched.
These are her relatives and brother.
They came here from afar to meet her and spend the New Year with her.
In their own way, they approached her slowly, carefully and sincerely.
Although they had only been together for about ten days, the warmth they brought her was something she had never felt before.
To be honest, she longed for this family affection.
Longed for two.
Lin Min looked at them for a long time, then she pursed her lips and slowly opened her mouth, "Happy New Year, Mom."
"Happy New Year, bro."
As Lin Min finished speaking, Molly was stunned for a moment.
Then, he suddenly rushed over excitedly and hugged Lin Min tightly.
Her tears fell in an instant.
Her daughter finally acknowledged her.
She actually called her mom.
Molly hugged her, her voice choking with sobs, "Hey! My daughter, thank you, thank you for recognizing me."
Tang Ze was also very moved. He walked over, opened his arms, and embraced Jiqin and his sister.
The three of them embraced each other happily on the first day of the new year.
They hardly slept that night.
At two o'clock in the morning, the TV turned off and the room became quiet. Tang Ze reluctantly went to the east room to rest.
Molly was very excited and felt that the word "Mom" from the yard was like a dream.
They were afraid that after waking up, Lin Min would resume her polite and distant attitude towards them.
She really wanted to ask Lin Min to call her mom again, but she didn't dare to be greedy for fear of causing her daughter's disgust.
At night, Molly tentatively hugged Lin Min into her arms. Lin Min did not refuse. In fact, she was very greedy for the warm embrace of her father.
…
In the morning, when Lin Min woke up, Molly had already made breakfast. Tang Ze also got up, but he didn't come in because he didn't want to disturb Lin Min. After washing up in the yard, he helped Molly to clean up the house.
breakfast.
When Lin Min got up, Li Zi and the other man brought her breakfast with a smile.
Lin Min felt a little uncomfortable. It was her own home, and she still asked them to serve her.
Molly cooked millet porridge and steamed buns. She seldom made these things in recent years, but she was not unfamiliar with them since she had been a housewife after all.
After the meal, Tang Ze cleared the dishes, and then Molly took out a bulging red envelope from her pocket.
It is called a red envelope, but in fact it is just red paper folded by yourself.
㱗Here, I haven’t really bought those exquisite red envelopes that are specifically designed to hold money.
The red envelope skin is just the surface, the money inside is the protagonist.
"Xiao Min, this is the New Year's money that mom prepared for you, take it quickly."
Molly handed the thick red envelope to Lin Min.
Lin Min looked at the red envelope, a little dazed, she smiled and said, "Ah? I'm married now, not a child anymore, I don't need it. I'm already a wife, why should I accept New Year's money?
Molly insisted with a smile, "Take it. In the eyes of children, they will always be children."
She felt very bitter because her daughter was at the age to receive New Year's money, but she had no chance to give her any.
She accepted the current subsidy and felt better.
Tang Ze echoed, "Xiao Min, take it."
Lin Min paused for a few seconds, then took it.
Then, just as she received the New Year's money from Molly, Tang Ze handed her another one. He looked at her expectantly and said with a smile, "Sister, this is from me."
"You...you don't need it." Shouldn't the New Year's money be given by the elders?
Even if Tang Ze gave it to her, she really didn't want to accept it.
"How can I not use it? Am I a salaried person? You can't just take what mom gave you and not take mine?"
Tang Ze waved the hand holding the red envelope in front of her, motioning her to take it.
Lin Min hesitated for a moment and had to continue.
She held two heavy red envelopes in her hands and thanked them, "Thank you, mom, thank you, brother."
If they felt that Lin Min's calls of "Mom" and "Brother" in the yard last night were not very real, then at this moment, early in the morning, when they were all awake, she called them again, and they could hear her voice.
So true.
Everything is real.
Molly and Tang Ze both responded happily, "Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome."
Lin Min felt a little embarrassed by their excited expressions.
Molly, who is always dignified and generous, now has an expression like a child who has eaten candy.
And there is Tang Ze, who looks tall and mighty. When he has a stern face, he is as serious and scary as Gu Jingchuan.
When she called him brother, his expression was filled with pure joy.
Tang Ze scratched his head, looked at Lin Min with sparkling eyes, and said expectantly, "Sister, call me again."
