But without Song Shiting, I wasn't in a good mood, and the festive atmosphere didn't seem so strong.
While families were reunited, the two of them were enduring the pain of separation.
They didn't even know when they would meet again.
Ruan Huaiguo came over and immediately started looking for Ya Ya: "Where is Ya Ya? Your uncle is here."
Ya Ya immediately jumped out and happily ran into Ruan Huaiguo's arms.
The little girl had two pigtails sticking straight up and wore a floral cotton-padded jacket; she looked exactly like a happy, roly-poly toy.
Ruan Huaiguo picked her up and asked, "You haven't seen your uncle for a few days. Did you miss him?"
"Yes," Ya Ya answered obediently.
Ruan Huaiguo was overjoyed and laughed heartily.
Sisters Ruan Huaizhu and Ruan Huaixiu also came forward, each wanting to hold Yaya.
Ya Ya has lived at home for so long, and they are really not used to her suddenly coming here.
The one who is least used to it is my elderly mother.
Even without any children around, he kept calling out for Yaya.
He would subconsciously look for Ya Ya.
Ruan Huaizhu reached out and said, "Come here, let Auntie give you a hug. Auntie hasn't hugged you in a long time. Have you grown any taller?"
Ya Ya giggled, her face full of joy.
The difference is immediately apparent.
Ya Ya was indeed happier at the Ruan family's house.
Ruan Huaizhu said to Ruan Qingling, "Mom and Dad were supposed to come, but something came up at home, so they couldn't make it. The red envelopes they gave me are here."
One is for Ruan Qingling, and the other is for Ya Ya.
She handed the red envelope to Ya Ya: "This is from Grandma and Grandpa. Are you going to visit them tomorrow, Ya Ya?"
Ya Ya was overjoyed and immediately nodded, saying she wanted it.
His gaze was also fixed on Ruan Qingling.
Ruan Qingling nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Grandma's house to wish her a Happy New Year tomorrow."
Song Ling pursed her lips. She didn't go back either, feeling that they had really done their best for this sister-in-law.
But it seems that my sister-in-law still wants to go back to her parents' home!
She didn't want to explain why she didn't want to go back to her husband's family home. She was unhappy there and didn't like it, so she simply decided not to go back.
Taking advantage of the many things that happened in my family this year, I made up an excuse to stay.
Although Ruan Qingling had no conflicts with her husband's family, she was naturally closer to the Ruan family, probably because people's feelings are divided into those who came first and those who came last.
Song Jie immediately said, "Yes, we'll go to wish Grandma and Grandpa a Happy New Year tomorrow, and Auntie will go with you."
Song Ling got excited too: "That's right, Auntie will go with you too, she'll go with you."
With them by her side, Ruan Qingling and her daughter wouldn't want to leave and not come back.
How could Ruan Huaixiu not understand what the sisters meant? They were afraid that their younger sister and daughter wouldn't come back after returning to their parents' home.
Go with them, and they'll bring them back eventually.
Ruan Huaixiu smiled slightly and said, "You two aunts are so kind. They want to come along too. Grandma said she hasn't seen Yaya for many days, so she gave Yaya a new quilt. New Year, new look. I wish Yaya a speedy growth."
"Yaya has to go back and stay for two days, otherwise Grandma's efforts will be in vain."
Ruan Huaizhu grabbed Ruan Qingling's hand and said with a smile, "Yes, I haven't slept with my second sister for many days. I want to sleep with my second sister."
Lin Yufang didn't necessarily want to fight for this daughter-in-law. It wouldn't be good to offend all the Ruan siblings. She said, "Yaya has adapted a little bit here. We need to help her adapt to this place more in the future. Children adapt quickly, but they also forget quickly."
Song Jie, who was standing nearby, had just said, "That's right, don't leave for too long, otherwise all your hard work during this time will be wasted."
Seeing that they seemed afraid she would snatch the child, Ruan Huaixiu smiled without saying a word and held Yaya in her arms.
...
It's almost Chinese New Year, but in this remote mountain village, there's not much of a festive atmosphere. The only thing you can see is a red New Year picture pasted on the fence.
However, the place was very quiet, so quiet that it seemed uninhabited, yet there was indeed a person lying inside the room…
