"Mom, I really know what's going on." Su Congwen emphasized and repeated it again.
"Okay, okay, I don't care about you. Anyway, neither of you two brothers makes me worry." Zhang Xinlan said unhappily. No, it should be said that there is no one in this family that she can control. She can't control anyone!
Su Congwu was inexplicably implicated. How did he get dragged into this again? What does this have to do with him?
"But no matter what, this year is still the year when our family is most together." Wu Guixiang said with a smile, her expression extremely satisfied.
In the past two years, even though there were new additions to the family, there was always one person missing during the Chinese New Year. This year, the whole family is here, no one is missing. As an elder, nothing can make her more satisfied than having the whole family together.
"That's true." Li Xiu Lian agreed, "We must have a lively and fun New Year's celebration this year." After all, after a short reunion, they will be separated again, and the days they spend together are getting fewer and fewer, so they have to cherish them.
"I agree with my sister-in-law," Su Aimin said. "This year, our family must eat and drink well during the Spring Festival. We still have time to buy whatever we need."
Zhang Xinlan: "Third brother, you don't need to tell me this. Before you came back, mother asked us to prepare everything. We cleaned the house and bought meat and fish. We have everything, just waiting for you to come back."
Su Aimin and Qin Ying couldn't help feeling touched when they thought of the clean room they had just seen. Their mother had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She was obviously always thinking about them, but she would never say anything.
Time passed quickly as the family chatted.
If something happens in a rural area, the whole village will know about it in a short time. Not long after, the news that Su Congwen, the soldier from the Su family, had returned spread like wildfire to every household in Luoshui Village.
As soon as everyone heard about this, they started talking about it with great interest.
"Congwen is back? How long has it been? It must have been more than two years, right?"
"That's right. After being away from home for so long, I'm finally back. I just went to Su's house and took a look. Congwen has changed so much that I almost didn't recognize him. He looks so energetic, worthy of being an officer."
"I remember when Congwen was admitted to the military academy, his mother was so proud that she wanted to go door to door to inform everyone, tsk tsk tsk."
"What's the big deal? If I had a son that promising, I would notify all the dogs in our village."
"Oh, by the way, is Congwen dating anyone? They're all soldiers in the army, so they probably don't have one, right?"
"What do you want to do? You don't want to introduce your niece from your mother's side to Congwen, do you? Let me tell you, if you dare to say that, Congwen's mother will definitely chase you away with a broom. She will be interested in your niece from your mother's side, so forget it. Besides, there are not only male soldiers but also female soldiers in the army. Female soldiers are so powerful. A handsome guy like Congwen might have been spotted by someone long ago. How can it be our turn to introduce him to someone else?"
"That's true, what a pity."
In this era, there are not many entertainment activities in the village. The most interesting thing is to chat about the gossips of other families, especially the affairs of the Su family, which everyone is happy to talk about. Su Congwen's return made everyone sigh again at how ambitious the children of the Su family are. However, they can only sigh, after all, these things cannot be forced.
On New Year's Eve, every household starts to get busy, pasting Spring Festival couplets and window decorations, sweeping the house, and cooking. It seems that on this day, no matter what happened in the past year, no matter what the family conditions are, the New Year is always different. It carries all people's expectations and yearnings for the new year, so people always greet the New Year with a smile.
The whole family gathered together, and the Su family had a lively and happy New Year, with constant laughter and joy. Everyone cherished this short reunion.
After staying at home for a few days, Su Congjun and Su Congwu had to go back to work in the factory, so they took their wives and children back to the county. The only young people left at home were Su Qingyun and Su Congwen.
The weather was too cold and everyone stayed at home and didn't want to go out. Until Qin Ying was about to send some things to her parents who were far away in the new province, Su Qingyun, who was bored, took the initiative to take on this task. Even though it was freezing cold outside, she had to go out for a walk, otherwise, if she didn't go out, she felt that her limbs would degenerate.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you." Qin Ying was afraid that she would be cold and didn't want her to go, but in the end she couldn't persuade her and agreed.
Seeing that there were a lot of things, Su Congwen decided to go with Su Qingyun. The two siblings happened to go shopping in the town together.
The two of them walked towards the town, one step deep and one step shallow, carrying the things they wanted to send. Today was market day, and even though it was freezing cold, there were still many people on the road. Many of them were carrying mountain products or chickens and ducks they raised at home, ready to go to the town to sell them. It was the New Year period, and business was good, and everyone wanted to make some money. Now that the policies were relaxed, people didn't have to hide, and more people were doing these small businesses.
When he arrived in the town, Su Qingyun found that there were many more people setting up stalls to sell small things. It seemed that the wind of reform in big cities had also blown here. Although it was a remote countryside, there were many people with business acumen who dared to think and act and took the first step.
Su Qingyun looked carefully at the things these people were selling and shook his head secretly. They were still a little outdated. These styles were basically what had already become popular in big cities. However, they were enough for the consumption level here.
"Yunyun, do you like it?" Su Congwen saw that she was always looking at the things on the stalls and thought that she liked them. "If you like it, I'll buy it for you."
"No need, I'll just take a look." Su Qingyun smiled.
"It's okay. Second brother has an allowance, so I can still afford these things for you." Su Congwen thought Su Qingyun wanted to save money for him.
