As soon as Su Congwen entered the house, he immediately attracted the attention of the whole family. They asked him about every aspect of his situation, including his personal emotional problems. Naturally, Zhang Xinlan did not get a satisfactory answer.
"Okay, then let's wait a little longer. Anyway, our son Congwen is so outstanding that he will not be unable to find a wife." Zhang Xinlan tried to be patient. Her son had just come back, so she could still hold back from nagging.
"Didn't I just tell you that Ren Congwen knows what's going on? We don't need to worry." Su Aimin looked at Su Congwen, "Are you hungry? Eat something."
"Yes, yes, yes, Congwen, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you." Zhang Xinlan slapped her head and said hurriedly.
"No need, Mom. I ate a lot on the train. I'm not hungry."
"Can the food on the train be as delicious as what your mother cooks?" Su Aidang said happily.
"Of course it is..." Su Congwen saw his mother glaring at him and finished the second half of the sentence with a smile, "No."
"That's more like it."
Everyone was chatting, and the entire Su family was immersed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere, and the atmosphere of the New Year was also strong.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was New Year's Eve.
Except for two pregnant women, everyone else in the Su family got busy. Just like in previous years, some were pasting window flowers and couplets, some were cooking, and some were sweeping the house. Everyone did their job and enjoyed themselves.
Today's New Year's Eve dinner at the Su family was also very rich, with chicken, duck, fish and meat all present. The table was so full that it could hardly hold more. The Su family was large, and they liked the hustle and bustle and were not afraid of being crowded, so they all sat in a crowded space.
"Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses." Every time at this time, Su Dalin, as the head of the family, would speak, "Time flies by so fast! After tonight, another year will have passed. Our Su family will surely have better and better lives next year."
"Happy New Year, everyone!"
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses to clink, some drank, some drank water, and everyone drank to their heart's content.
"Would you like to share your New Year's wishes?" Qin Ying suggested with a smile, seeing the lively atmosphere.
"OK!"
"Wish? What wish?" Zhang Xinlan asked.
"It's what you most want to accomplish in the next year." Wu Guixiang explained impatiently, "Second son's wife, how come you don't understand anything? You really suffer from your lack of education."
Zhang Xinlan felt wronged, "Isn't it just that I'm uneducated?"
"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Let's all talk." Wu Guixiang was used to mediation work. Moreover, this was her home turf, so controlling the situation was easy for her. "It's the new year after all, and everyone has to have a goal."
"Okay, I'll go first." Su Aimin was very supportive of his mother. "My New Year's wish is to open two more branches of my clothing store so that the clothes I handle can be sold to more places."
"Not bad, very good. The third brother has made a sample first." Wu Guixiang nodded with satisfaction. "Who's next?"
"I'll do it," Qin Ying said with a smile. "My New Year's wish is to officially become a lecturer and work hard."
"Not bad," Wu Guixiang cleared her throat. "My New Year's wish is to do a better job in our neighborhood, so that everyone can live in harmony and peace without any conflicts. Only then can our neighborhood be recognized as an advanced unit, and the people's lives will be happier and healthier."
Wu Guixiang spoke decisively and forcefully.
A family: "..."
Qin Ying and Su Aimin almost couldn't hold back their laughter. Their mother spoke like a leader, with the same tone, expression and gestures.
"Why does it feel like I'm listening to the radio when I hear my mother talking?" Zhang Xinlan couldn't help but say.
"What broadcast?" Wu Guixiang glanced over.
"It's a nice broadcast." Zhang Xinlan said quickly.
That’s pretty good, so Wu Guixiang didn’t say anything.
"Ahem." Su Dalin cleared his throat and said, "It's the new year, and there's nothing else to do. I just want to participate in a few more competitions, and hopefully get a place."
"No, Dad, you are really good at playing chess." Su Aidang couldn't believe it.
So do Su Aiguo and others.
Although they had heard from their mother in letters that their father had participated in many chess competitions, this matter was still too abstract and they all felt that it was a little unreal.
How come Dad and Mom changed so much after going to the big city?
Everyone felt a little magical.
"It's my turn now. Let me speak," Li Xiulian took over. "My New Year's wish is for Sisi to give birth to the baby safely."
"This is good, this is OK!"
Wu Guixiang applauded, "This is very good. And Shuhui, I hope she will be safe and sound."
"We understand, and this is also our wish."
Wen Sisi and Wu Shuhui smiled and said that they were both in good condition. It had been more than three months now and the morning sickness was not severe, which made them feel less worried.
"Who's next?"
"Me!" Su Congjun raised his hand. "My New Year's wish is that I can pass the exam and become a level three fitter in the coming year!"
"Sure!" Su Congwu applauded his brother. "My wish is similar to yours, and that's a big raise!"
Su Congwu emphasized his tone, making the whole family laugh.
"What about Congwen? Tell us about Congwen."
Su Congwen was smiling, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "My New Year's wish is..."
"Find a wife!" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xinlan couldn't wait to help him say it. This was now her biggest wish.
"Second son's wife, could you please stop interrupting? Let Congwen speak for himself." Wu Guixiang couldn't help but glare at her. "This is your wish, right?"
Zhang Xinlan could only shut up.
Su Congwen smiled and said, "My New Year's wish is that everyone is well, safe and healthy. That is my greatest hope."
The whole family was stunned, and then their expressions were moved. Yes, no matter what the wish is, safety and health are the most important.
"Congwen is right," Wu Guixiang said. "Although we've separated, no matter when, even until the day we're buried, we'll still be a family. Even if we're not together, our hearts are connected. We all have to live our lives well, because every day the sun rises, it's a new day, and how you've lived that new day is the only thing that really matters to you."
"It's a day whether it's good or bad, so of course we have to live it well."
She gave the whole family an earnest warning, and everyone listened quietly and nodded from time to time.
They all cherish the present days.
Zhang Xinlan moved her lips again and again. When her mother spoke like this, it really sounded like a radio speech.
