He sat quietly in front of his parents' grave for a while, then finally stood up, brushed the dirt off his pants, and slowly walked down the mountain.
It was only after Yao Xiuyuan returned home that he learned that his parents and uncles were planning to go to an island to celebrate the New Year this year.
"It's so boring to always spend the New Year at home. It's warm over there and I can go surfing."
Yao Xiuzhu said calmly, "I can't go. I have a contract to sign and I have to fly to E Country tomorrow. You guys have fun."
Upon hearing this, Yao Xiuyuan immediately said, "Then I won't go either. What's there to do on the island? I'd rather work overtime at home."
Yao's parents had no objection to this. They just wanted to play. If the children were willing, that would be the best. But if they were not willing, they would not force them.
"Then you stay at home and wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so that we can celebrate the New Year together."
"Okay." Yao Xiuzhu responded.
Yao Xiuyuan naturally agreed.
Yao Xiuzhu packed her luggage that night. Before leaving, she handed the red envelopes she had prepared to her mother, "This is the red envelope that Ayuan and I gave to those ghosts."
"Okay." Yao's mother smiled, "You're still working during the New Year, aren't you tired?"
"Not tired. But after I finish this project, I will take a break for a while."
"That's good. It's time for you to take care of your lifelong affairs."
Hearing this, Yao Xiuzhu stood up calmly and said, "Then I'll continue to work."
Yao's mother was helpless, always feeling that her daughter would probably marry for her career.
When Yao Xiuzhu returned to her room, she passed by Yao Xiuyuan's room, thought for a moment, and knocked on the door. Yao Xiuyuan opened the door, and she heard her sister say, "The red envelope has been given to mom, including your share."
"Thank you, sis."
"Don't work overtime during the New Year. I have no choice. As for you, go out and have fun with Cheng and Yong. You've worked hard this year."
"In terms of hard work, I'm not as hard-working as you."
"But you did a good job." Yao Xiuzhu affirmed, "Ayuan, you are very smart."
Yao Xiuyuan scratched his head in embarrassment, but then he remembered something and said to his sister, "Sister, you have to give me a red envelope this year. I also have to give a red envelope to my friend."
Yao Xiuzhu was a little puzzled, "This year too? Are you planning to sponsor him?"
Yao Xiuyuan smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes."
Although Yao Xiuzhu didn't understand what he was up to, he still went back to his room to get him a red envelope, and also wrapped a red envelope for himself, "Then I'll give him another one."
"That's even better." Yao Xiuyuan took the red envelope without hesitation. "Last year, he received your red envelope and was very happy. He praised you for being kind and nice."
Yao Xiuzhu laughed and said, "Don't lead your friends astray."
"Don't worry, I can't bear to do that."
Yao Xiuzhu went abroad to sign a contract the next day, and that afternoon, the Yao family's parents also left the city on a private plane. Yao Xiuyuan sat alone in the room, feeling that if he didn't go find Ying Nian at this time, it would be a waste of the opportunity created for him.
So he drove, bought some New Year's goods, took out some money and put it in a red envelope for Yingnian, then headed to Yingnian's hometown in a leisurely manner.
Yao Xiuyuan had heard Yingnian talk about his hometown before, and he had a good memory and still remembered it. However, in order to arrive accurately, he picked up a person from the same county as Yingnian before he set off. It was the peak period of the Spring Festival travel rush, and the other person couldn't stop thanking him as soon as he got on the car. Yao Xiuyuan didn't intend to charge money, after all, the money was not enough for him to buy a bottle of wine. He picked up people purely to avoid taking detours.
But these days, no one dared to get on the bus without paying, so Yao Xiuyuan had to collect the money as agreed and asked for the address of the village where Yingnian's home was.
When the brother saw that it was a village he was familiar with, he became even more enthusiastic and almost drew a map for him to follow. "Brother, do you remember it? When you pass that gas station, just turn the corner and you will find this village."
