After the couple was overjoyed, they considered for a long time before starting to write a reply letter to their daughter's family. Every word and every line was filled with joy and deep longing.
Wang Biyun and Qin Weiguo also sent some special products from the new province, and letters filled with their longing for each other began to be sent over mountains and across rivers to the eastern province.
In Luoshui Village, Zhang Xinlan came out of the house, preparing to get more firewood for cooking. Seeing Qin Ying standing at the gate, she asked curiously, "Third wife, what are you looking at?"
Qin Ying turned around, looking rather absentminded. "Nothing, sister-in-law, go in first. I'll be here to help you."
Zhang Xinlan frowned strangely and turned to go back into the house. Why did she feel that something was not right with the third son's wife these past few days?
New Year's Day is coming soon. Su Congwu and Wen Sisi will take two days off and prepare to go back home. It will arrive tonight. Su Congwu has already arrived home early. This is also considered the New Year according to the Gregorian calendar, so the dishes at home naturally have to be more sumptuous.
The Su family is living better and better now. Wu Guixiang has never been stingy with food expenses, let alone on days like this. She waved her hand and allocated money to Li Xiu Lian, letting her take care of it.
After all, it is the New Year, so of course there has to be some festive atmosphere. Window paper-cuts and couplets have to be bought, and new clothes cannot be left out. The kitchen is naturally under the charge of Zhang Xinlan. Her mother-in-law gave her money, and she did not hesitate to buy a lot of fish and meat.
Qin Ying went into the house to help with the cooking, but she couldn't let go of the letters and things she had sent to her parents. Su Qingyun whispered to comfort her mother, "It's okay, Mom. Xin Province is two or three thousand kilometers away from us. The distance will naturally take time to deliver. Don't worry."
"That's right." Qin Ying smiled, "It's just that I can't let it go."
"Just wait a little longer." Su Qingyun winked at her.
"I see." Qin Ying patted her daughter's hand. "Go and see if your third brother's couplets are finished."
"Okay." Su Qingyun ran out of the kitchen happily.
Su Congwu was standing on a stool, pasting the word "Fu" (good fortune). Su Qingyun was directing him from the side, "Hey, don't take off the word "Xi" (happiness). Just paste the word "Fu" next to it."
"Okay." Su Congwu shifted his position. "Is this okay?"
"Move it a little more to the left. Okay, okay, it's almost there. Stick it there." Su Qingyun made the final decision.
"There are still couplets left to post."
Su Congwu got off the stool, looked around at the couplet, and found the best position to stick it on the door frame. After sticking it on, he asked Su Qingyun, "How is it? Is it almost there?"
Su Qingyun nodded, "Almost."
Wu Guixiang stood aside and took a look. She didn't recognize some of the words. "Bao, what's written on it?"
Su Qingyun read out the couplet in a clear voice, "The first line reads: A dragon soars into the sky to usher in new fortunes, the second line reads: A magpie perches on a branch to announce good news, and the horizontal scroll reads: 'Farewell to the old and welcome the new.'"
"It's really well written." Wu Guixiang smacked her lips twice. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning, she felt happy just listening to it.
Su Congwu laughed and said, "I also think that this year's couplets seem to be better written than in previous years. Where did you buy them?"
"What did you buy?" Wu Guixiang looked at him speechlessly. "This is written by your sister herself."
"Wow!" Su Congwu was surprised, "Yunyun is quite capable."
"As a brother, you can't even recognize your sister's handwriting?" Wu Guixiang couldn't understand.
Su Congwu: "..." He really couldn't recognize it.
"Oh, have the couplets been posted?" A voice came, and Su Congjun and Wen Sisi walked into the courtyard carrying things.
"Brother." Su Congwu walked forward, "Why are you bringing so many things home?" Although he said so, he took the things very naturally.
"You kid!" Su Congjun said unhappily.
Wen Sisi smiled and said, "These are the festival gifts my parents prepared for our family."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Su Congwu said sweetly and carried the things in to put them away.
"Milk."
"grandmother."
Su Congwu and Wen Sisi called out obediently.
Wu Guixiang looked at the two of them with a smile, "Come in and sit down for a while, you can eat later."
"good."
The sky gradually darkened, and the night wind was biting. The whole family had returned, and there was no need to wait outside. Wu Guixiang called Su Qingyun, "Bao'er, shall we go in too? Let's roast the fire and warm ourselves up."
"Okay, grandma." Su Qingyun was extremely afraid of the cold. If she didn't want to wait at the door for a while to see if there was any letter from the postman, she would not stand at the door and blow the cold wind.
As the grandfather and grandson stepped into the house one after the other, a voice outside the yard shouted, "Su family, your letter and package have arrived!"
Su Qingyun turned around suddenly and ran out in three or two steps. The postman at the gate of the yard had a red nose from the cold.
Su Qingyun asked, "You're still delivering a letter so late?"
"I can't help it. It's the end of the year, right? There are a lot of people sending letters and parcels. I can go home after I deliver them to your house."
"That's good."
The postman handed her the letter and the package, "They're all yours."
"Okay, thank you."
Su Qingyun looked at the two letters and two packages in his hands and stared. Two?
She first looked at the letters. One was from her second brother Su Congwen, who had sent it from Chuncheng, and the other...
Su Qingyun looked surprised. It was sent by her grandparents from the new province. They had indeed received their news.
She thought for a moment, put the letter from her grandparents in her pocket, carried her things into the house, and announced the two good news to everyone, "Everyone, come and see, my second brother and my grandpa have sent us some things."
"Has the stuff that Congwen sent come back?" Zhang Xinlan put down the spatula before she could go over.
