The family went to the countryside.
Song Yun and her daughter, along with Song Zhicheng's family, have already arrived.
Song Zhicheng bought half a sheep in town, and the whole family will have hot pot with mutton tonight.
Song Zhicheng's third son was two years older than Song Yingying, and he took Song Yingying and Song Xiaoxiao to set off firecrackers.
The adults played cards and boasted, and the Song family was bustling with a large group of people, their shouts and laughter continuing until evening.
Song Anmin knew that his parents had come to his grandparents' house, so he came too.
Song Anmin approached the Song family wearing a warm cotton-padded coat and a hat. He had walked this road countless times and could walk it with his eyes closed.
He could already hear his grandfather yelling about losing money.
Just then, a shout came from not far away.
"Hey, Song Laosan's here." It was Wang Ergou who spoke.
Song Anmin had worked for Wang Ergou for so many days, yet he was recognized at a glance.
Song Zhicheng came into the courtyard, glanced outside, and called out, "Third brother is here."
Song Zhicheng was not aware that Song Anmin had been kicked out of his home.
Song Xinfu clicked his tongue, "Come sit down, it's your turn, ignore him."
Xu Guiying, Lu Hui, and Song Yun were talking to Grandma Song.
Hearing that the third brother had arrived, they all looked outside.
Song Anmin stood there dumbfounded not far from the Song family's house, no one inviting him in, looking like a sick and weak old dog.
Xu Guiying seemed not to notice and continued talking to Song Yun about opening a shop to sell food.
In her previous life, Xu Guiying sold dumplings and happened to have some experience to share with Song Yun.
Grandma Song continued talking, ignoring the third son outside.
Song Jianmin couldn't stand it anymore. He touched his nose and gave the third brother a look.
The third son went outside the kitchen, out of sight of the Song family.
Song Jianmin made an excuse to go to the toilet, then went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of mutton to the third brother.
"Third brother, I'm still the best to you."
Despite wearing thick clothes, Song Anmin was still cold as he walked along.
"Fifth brother, third brother will remember your kindness."
Song Jianmin sighed, ladled another bowl of rice for Song Anmin, and casually mentioned what had happened to Song Guomin that morning.
"Your parents are determined not to let you in now, so you'll have to fight a war of attrition."
It was three or four in the afternoon. After finishing his meal, Song Anmin continued to stand outside the Song family's house.
It's so cold, Grandpa and Grandma will definitely let him in.
But Old Master Song didn't say anything until Song Zhicheng couldn't stand it anymore and let the third son in.
The third brother had just stepped into the Song family's courtyard.
Without Xu Guiying needing to speak, Song Xinfu said directly, "Third brother, what are you doing here? This is not a place for you."
Song Anmin: "Dad, I've been standing here for over an hour!"
Song Xinfu: "Did I tell you to stand there?!"
Song Jianmin: "This is my grandparents' home."
"This is still my parents' house!"
Grandpa Song seemed to only just notice his third son. "Oh, the young mistress is here. What's she doing here?"
Song Anmin: "Grandpa, I really know I was wrong. I came here today to pay my respects to Ali."
Grandpa Song pointed to Wang Ergou not far away.
"Little San, it's not that Grandpa treats you badly, it's just that you're such a disappointment. Look, Wang Ergou is spending the New Year alone today. Why don't you go and have dinner with him tonight?"
Old Master Song has spoken, and Song Zhicheng dares not try to dissuade him.
Song Anmin looked at Xu Guiying again, but his mother didn't even glance at him.
Song Anmin's heart sank to the ground. "Today is New Year's Eve!"
Song Xinfu patted his third son's shoulder and lowered his voice, "When you were pleading for Jiang Hong, your grandparents were lying in bed!"
Song Anmin fell silent.
Song Anmin got up and went to Wang Ergou's house without saying a word.
The Song family was bustling with activity once again.
They ate dinner early because they had to rush back to the city, so Xu Guiying and the others left before six o'clock. Song Anmin had also left.
Peace Lane was bustling with activity, filled with the sound of firecrackers.
Xu Guiying returned to the main room, wiped Song Yangmin's photo, and then the family went to sleep or soaked their feet.
Song Yingying was going to the Qin family's house tomorrow, so she went to bed early.
The aunt and uncle said they hadn't met the Qin family yet, and they weren't sure what the situation was, so they kept it a secret for now. Song Rongrong and Song Jianmin in the family didn't know about it either.
Song Yingying wanted to speak to Song Rongrong several times, but she held back.
Never mind, I'll tell my fourth sister later.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I woke up to a blanket of white snow.
It was only nine o'clock when there was a commotion outside.
Song Jianmin opened the door and saw that it was Qin Zheng.
"Qin Zheng, what brings you here?" Song Jianmin said with a smile. "Oh, by the way, thank you for the gift you gave me last time."
Qin Zheng is three or four years younger than Song Jianmin, but he is quite experienced in doing things.
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "I've come to pick up Song Yingying."
Song Jianmin called out to Song Yingying.
Song Yingying came out of the house, "I'm here!"
She was wearing the new clothes her aunt had bought for her for the Chinese New Year this year. Her hair was neatly combed and tied in a ponytail, making her look very energetic.
Qin Zheng said goodbye to Xu Guiying and her husband again, and then left with Song Yingying.
The car was parked at the entrance of Heping Lane.
This time, Qin Zheng got into the passenger seat.
When the back door opened, it turned out to be Old Master Qin inside.
Song Yingying stood there, stunned, looking at the people inside, at a loss.
Grandpa Qin laughed, "What are you standing there for? Grandpa won't eat you. Come in first."
Song Yingying mustered her courage, got into the car, and said hello first.
Then, encouraged by Qin Zheng and the old man, he called out "Grandpa".
Grandpa Qin's eyes were slightly moist. "Yingying, Grandpa will take you home."
Just as the Qin family's car left, Liu Aimei, who was buying things at the convenience store outside the alley, suddenly ran out.
She stared in shock at the departing car.
She didn't mishear what she said.
Qin Zheng called the person in the car "Grandpa".
The man addressed Song Yingying as his grandfather.
Because of the distance, Liu Aimei couldn't hear clearly.
Liu Aimei and her family went back to her parents' home last night, but there wasn't enough room, so they had to return overnight. Song Guomin had been drinking and felt unwell, so Liu Aimei went out this morning to buy him a bag of goat milk powder.
I never expected to hear such shocking news.
Liu Aimei quickly ran home and told Song Guomin about it.
Upon hearing this, Song Guomin felt much better and immediately got dressed, got out of bed, and rushed towards the Song family home.
As soon as Song Jianmin opened the door, he couldn't stop his eldest son from rushing into the house.
Song Guomin's face turned bright red, and he looked shocked.
He directly questioned Xu Guiying and her husband, who were in the main room:
"Mom and Dad, is Qin Zheng's grandfather Song Yingying's grandfather?"
"No wonder, no wonder Qin Zheng is so good to Song Yingying..."
Song Jianmin and Song Rongrong were stunned.
What? What?
Xu Guiying narrowed her eyes, picked up the water on the table, and splashed it on Song Guomin's face.
Xu Guiying's face was cold, and her voice became more forceful: "What does this have to do with you, Song Guomin? What are you planning now?!"
Song Guomin looked excited and swallowed hard: "So it's true?"
