This year's reunion dinner was celebrated by Ruan Mianmian, Qin Zheng and three generations of the Hu family in Ruan Mianmian's small house.
Although her house is not big, it is enough for five people.
She was reluctant to go back to the Ruan family's house, so Qin Zheng arranged for her to stay in their small house.
Everyone in the educated youth center has asked for leave and gone back this year.
The Jiahe factory performed well this year, and everyone who participated received a share of the profits.
The team leader also felt that everyone had worked hard this year, so the holiday was given quite early this year.
We are all raised by our parents, so who doesn’t have worries?
In the past, we didn’t have the money to go back, but this year, this reason no longer exists. So, everyone is still willing to go back.
"Teacher Hu, thank you! Thank you for coming to our remote place and passing on all the knowledge in your mind to us."
Ruan Mianmian raised her glass to toast.
She had wanted to do this for a long time, but she never found the opportunity.
Today is New Year's Eve, and every family is having a family reunion dinner, so her behavior is not too presumptuous.
Hu Xingzhi doesn't drink much usually, but he has to drink the wine Xiao Ruan offered him today.
He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. Hu Xingzhi said, "Xiao Ruan, this wine should be toasted to you by an old man like me."
Seeing that his father was a little agitated, Hu Yuanfang quickly picked up some food for him and said, "Dad, eat some food. You will drink too much soon."
Hu Xingzhi waved his hands, looked at Ruan Mianmian and continued, "Xiao Ruan, I am really glad! I agreed just for the salary of 51 months. If not, when Yuanfang got into trouble, I really didn't dare to think about what would happen next!"
"I have no ability. The Wang family has been treating Yuan Fang badly for a long time. However, I really don't seem to have any way to deal with their unreasonableness. The ancients often said that scholars are good for nothing. I didn't think so when I was young, but now that I am old, I know that what they said is really true!"
"Yuanfang has suffered so much, but I really don't know how she would have done it if she had relied on me. And if it weren't for you, I don't know if Tingting would still be alive now!"
"Until now, I still don't dare to tell Yuanfang's brother about her. I really don't have the face to tell her!"
Hu Xingzhi became more and more excited as he spoke.
They did not choose to go back to Lincheng to celebrate the New Year this year. One of the reasons was that they sent part of the money they earned to Mo Siming and Tong Hua, which also included New Year gifts for them.
Another part was returned to Ruan Mianmian in cash. Although the medical expenses with receipts were taken back from the Wang family, the travel expenses of Ruan Mianmian and her group were not included.
We can't just refuse to pay this part of the money without any clear explanation.
The three of them, grandparents and grandchildren, didn't have the money to go back to Lincheng. Apart from anything else, the round-trip fare alone was a huge expense.
In the past, Mr. Hu could still feel at ease and justified in asking Ruan Mianmian and others to reimburse their round-trip train tickets. Now, Hu Xingzhi couldn't open his mouth.
So, after discussion, they kept enough money to live until next month's salary, and sent the rest to his son.
Life is not easy for my son either. As a father and sister, I dare not tell anyone when he has troubles, but I always have to express my gratitude during the New Year and other festivals.
Hu Yuanfang originally thought that her father was strong. She never thought that one day, she would see her father's vulnerable side.
Tingting couldn't quite understand what the adults were saying, but that didn't stop her from enjoying her delicious food.
Seeing grandpa's red eyes, Tingting took the initiative to put a chicken leg into his bowl, "Grandpa, eat meat."
