On New Year’s Eve, the whole family got up early!
Yang Chunhua first boiled some paste in the pot. After it cooled down, Wang Fugui led Wang Xiaomei to paste the word "Fu" on all the doors and windows in the yard of their home, and pasted Spring Festival couplets on the gate of the yard. After they finished pasting them at home, they went to Lei Hu's house next door and pasted them on his house as well.
You know what, after pasting them, everything is red, the whole atmosphere is full of joy, and the New Year atmosphere is instantly full!
The children in the family quarters at the foot of the mountain were running around and setting off firecrackers, making it very lively!
God was kind and the weather was very nice and warm today. Wen Nuan was helped out to sit in a place in the yard where she could bask in the sun out of the way.
Yang Chunhua was busy in the kitchen preparing for tonight's reunion dinner. This year the whole family is together, and it is also the first year that Wen Nuan has married into the family, not to mention the three little grandchildren in her belly. Yang Chunhua is not stingy and has prepared a lot of chicken, duck, fish, pork ribs and meatballs. She has been staying in the kitchen frying, stir-frying and stewing, and from time to time she takes some of the prepared food to feed Wen Nuan who is basking in the sun.
Basking in the warm sun, eating food fed by my mother-in-law, and watching Huzi running around outside the door throwing firecrackers, I feel that I would not trade this life for anything less than a god!
Wang Jianshe was on duty at noon and did not come back, so the family had a simple meal with the fried food in the morning and began to formally prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Considering that Wang Jianshe had to be on duty, Yang Chunhua decided to start the meal early.
Wang Jianshe came back before five o'clock. After dinner he had to go to the army canteen to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers. So, as soon as Wang Jianshe entered the door, Yang Chunhua started serving the dishes. After a while, ten dishes were placed on the table, which meant perfection!
Because Wang Jianshe still had to be on duty, he didn't prepare any wine, but instead drank the soda that Qin Zhaoyang had brought him earlier.
"This year is the first year that Xiao Nuan married into our family. Moreover, Xiao Nuan is a great contributor to our family. She was pregnant with three little grandchildren right after she got married. So, I want to toast this first cup to Xiao Nuan. Thank you Xiao Nuan for not looking down on our Wang family, thank you Xiao Nuan for not looking down on our family's construction, and thank you Xiao Nuan for bringing us three little grandchildren! Xiao Nuan, this cup, Daddy toasts you!" Wang Fugui's eyes turned red with excitement. He tilted his head back and drank a cup of drink directly. As for the others, they looked at Wen Nuan with smiles on their faces.
Wen Nuan was also very excited. This was the first time in her life that she spent the New Year with her family. Seeing the sincere smiles on everyone's faces, Wen Nuan's eyes turned red. She raised her cup and said, "Thank you, Dad, and thank you, Mom. Thank you for giving me another home and being so kind to me. Thank you!"
"Silly girl, we are all family, why should I say thank you!" Yang Chunhua looked at her warm face, her heart full of love. It can be said that this child also grew up in Wawu Village. Although she didn't know much about her before, she knew that she was a good child. Especially in the past one or two years, she was like a different person. (Not a different person!)
Later, her son liked her and said he wanted to marry her. At first, Yang Chunhua didn't want to agree, after all, the age difference was a bit big, and she had such a big family. But her son actually acted without consulting her first and directly applied for marriage, which was approved. Well, as long as her son likes her, it's fine!
Later, she learned that her daughter-in-law was pregnant with triplets. She was so happy that she couldn't help it. Her son wanted her to take care of them, but she was afraid that they would not get along well. She thought that for the sake of her three little grandchildren, she would endure it all as long as it was not too excessive. However, she did not expect her daughter-in-law to be so reasonable. She let her arrange everything, whether it was food, drink, daily expenses, etc. This made Yang Chunhua like her more and more, and later she treated her as her own daughter!
Wang Jianshe also raised his glass to toast Wang Fugui and Yang Chunhua, "Dad and Mom, I am an unfilial son. Not only can I not always stay by your side, but I also have to trouble you to leave your hometown to take care of my son's wife and children. I am ashamed!"
After saying that, Wang Jianshe stood up, walked to the old couple, knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Oh, you silly child, what are you doing?"
Wang Fugui and Yang Chunhua hurried to help their son. "You are our child. If we don't help you, who else can we help? Really!"
"Mom and Dad, thank you!"
"Okay! Your mother and I will accept your thanks!"
Wang Jianshe helped his excited parents sit down, then went to the table and poured a glass of soda, toasting to Wen Nuan, "This glass should be thanked to Nuan Nuan, thank you for marrying me and forming a new family with me, thank you for giving me three lovely children, and thank you for joining the army!"
"Oh, you're so annoying. Why are you saying all this?" Wen Nuan had wanted to cry before, and now she couldn't hold it back any longer, tears streaming down her face.
"Nuannuan, don't cry. It hurts my heart when you cry," Wang Jianshe quickly put down the cup, went over, held Nuan in his arms, and whispered.
However, no matter how quiet it was, it was still heard by the other three, and they all laughed good-naturedly.
Wen Nuan blushed immediately, pushed Wang Jianshe, and complained in a delicate voice, "Dad, mom and sister are here, don't do this!"
"Haha, sister-in-law is blushing!" Wang Xiaomei cheered from the side.
“Haha, great!”
Everyone laughed at once!
Finally, Wang Xiaomei also held up a glass of wine and toasted her parents, brother and sister-in-law.
Everyone then started to eat the rich reunion dinner!
Mr. and Mom, who live far away on a farm in the northwest, also cooked a few delicious dishes. Although they were bacon and bacon chicken, they are not often eaten.
Mother Wen looked at the food on the table and said with tears in her eyes, "I don't know how Xiao Nuan is doing. She is pregnant with three children. I don't know if she can handle it. I don't know if her body can handle it. I don't know if her in-laws are treating her well..."
Father Wen put his arm around Mother Wen's shoulders and consoled her with a smile, "You have to believe in our Nuan Nuan, she will be fine. In fact, from the things she usually sends us, we can tell that her son-in-law must be good to her, otherwise he wouldn't have taken care of us. So don't worry, what we have to do now is to take good care of our bodies and wait for the day we meet again!"
"Can we meet again?"
"Yes, we will definitely meet again!"
Guo Pengcheng's family in Wawu Village also spoke of warmth.
"I heard from Xie Zhiqing that Xiao Nuan is pregnant with triplets. Alas, neither we nor Lao Wen are with her, and we don't know if the children can be well taken care of," said Zhou Juan.
"I've asked around about the Wang family. They're a pretty honest and kind family. Xiao Nuan's boyfriend is a soldier, so there must be no problem with his character. Didn't Xie Zhiqing say a few days ago that she had visited Xiao Nuan? Xiao Nuan will be fine. She's a blessed child and will be very happy!" Guo Pengcheng said softly as he picked up a piece of braised pork for his son and daughter-in-law.
"Well, she is a blessed child. By the way, I made a few small clothes and three tiger-head hats for Xiao Nuan's child. I will ask Xie Zhiqing to help send them to Xiao Nuan after the Chinese New Year!"
"Okay, I'll remember that. Come on, eat now, or the food will get cold!"
This year is a year full of concerns and hopes. Everything will get better in the future...
