"Remember to send us a message when you arrive."
This morning, the second day of the Lunar New Year, before even leaving the house, Professor Wu was already a little reluctant to let his daughter-in-law go home for the holiday.
His tone was slightly bitter when he spoke.
Jiang Yu held her hand and said, "Yes, we'll let you know as soon as we arrive. By the way, I want to try some local specialties."
"Mom will definitely bring you the best food then."
Chen Cixiu had already put his things down and stuck his head out to say to Jiang Yu and Professor Wu, "Alright, we can go now. Mom, you and Dad drive carefully, and send us a message when you arrive."
"Okay, I understand. Drive carefully."
Professor Wu watched his son and daughter-in-law's car drive away, and for some reason, a faint sadness arose deep in his heart.
An unprecedented emotion swirled in my chest, lingering for a long time.
This feeling made her feel somewhat irritable.
Professor Chen came out and saw her standing there. He asked curiously, "What's wrong? What are you still doing standing here? We're getting ready to leave."
Professor Wu's sigh startled Professor Chen, who kept asking what was wrong. "Are you feeling unwell? Should we skip the trip and go to the hospital instead?"
Worry was written all over his face.
Professor Wu watched her son and daughter-in-law disappear around the corner and said softly, "Husband, why do I suddenly feel a little melancholy? It's not like I'll never see our son and Yu Yu again, but I just feel reluctant to let them go. Our son has always lived with us, so why do I feel a little reluctant to let him go now?"
Professor Chen was very worried and was even prepared to tell his family that they would not be going on a trip for the Chinese New Year.
His wife's words made him suddenly relax, and he said speechlessly, "You can't possibly be reluctant to part with our son, the only thing you can't be reluctant to part with is our daughter-in-law."
Achoo!
Chen Cixiu drove the car. It was quite a distance from Chenjia Village to Luotan Village, taking about five hours by car.
Jiang Yu thought he had caught a cold when he suddenly sneezed.
Although it wasn't particularly cold yesterday, he played a basketball game in short sleeves, so it wouldn't be surprising if he caught a cold.
Chen Cixiu rubbed his nose and heard Jiang Yu ask, "Honey, do you have a cold?"
Chen Cixiu said, "Huh? No, I just suddenly felt like sneezing. Honey, aren't we visiting relatives during the New Year?"
“Let’s go. During the Spring Festival, everyone goes back to their own homes and visits relatives,” Jiang Yu said.
"I see. So visiting relatives is usually on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year, right? Going home today doesn't count as returning to our parents' home, since we haven't held the wedding banquet yet."
Chen Cixiu said.
"Hmm...that seems to be the case, but we've already registered our marriage, so does this kind of homecoming visit count as a homecoming visit?"
The two greenhorn recruits stared blankly at each other in the vehicle, completely unaware whether their return home would count as a homecoming visit.
Looking at the things they were carrying, it seemed like a homecoming visit, but since they hadn't held a wedding banquet yet, it didn't seem like a homecoming visit.
After thinking for a moment, the two said almost in unison, "Then it doesn't count as a homecoming visit."
Two people can't possibly sleep in one quilt.
Sometimes they could say that she was him, and he was her.
The Chen family doesn't have many rules for celebrating holidays, but the Jiang family does.
During the Chinese New Year, when the whole family eats together, the person who finishes eating first should tell the elders one by one that they have finished eating.
This means addressing each elder in turn.
For example, "Uncle, I'm finished eating, please continue eating." "Uncle, I'm finished eating, please continue eating." "Auntie..."
In short, every younger person who has eaten well should tell their elders about it.
Chen Cixiu suddenly felt a bit troubled, but he still needed to abide by it.
Chen Cixiu suddenly thought of something.
"Honey, why didn't you remind me to call earlier?"
Jiang Yu looked at him, her eyes seeming to say, "Try to recall."
Chen Cixiu recalled carefully and suddenly remembered that he had eaten the last bite of the drink, which meant he had drunk the last bite of the drink.
That's why there was no warning.
"So that means as long as I eat last, I don't have to do this?" Chen Cixiu looked at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu nodded and said, "I'm just afraid of having to call everyone. You see, last time I sat next to you and waited until you finished eating before I got up."
"Oh, and another thing, why didn't I hear anyone else calling?" Chen Cixiu asked again.
Jiang Yu said, "Brother, you and my dad drank so much back then, what could you possibly hear?"
Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh when she thought about how drunk he was back then.
He's much cuter when he's drunk.
As they talked, the two burst into laughter again.
Chen Cixiu suddenly remembered something, "Wife, it's Chinese New Year at home..."
Jiang Yu understood what he meant. She smiled and said, "Auntie said that this year's New Year should be celebrated in a lively and festive manner, so when you see Auntie, you must wish her a Happy New Year and give her a red envelope."
Chen Cixiu nodded.
I feel a little sad.
"Honey, I've figured it out. My aunt said you secretly went to my house to see her when you were getting engaged to me. Don't worry, everything is fine at home. My parents also prefer to use red couplets, so everything is as usual."
After Jiang Yu finished speaking, Chen Cixiu finally managed a smile.
He didn't dare ask when he was at home, because it wasn't appropriate to ask during the New Year, and he only brought simple things with him.
The thought of his uncle's passing filled him with sorrow.
How will the Jiang family celebrate the Lunar New Year this year?
In the past, when my uncle was alive, the Jiang family would celebrate the New Year in a lively and festive manner.
