The land is vast and the population is sparse.
More than an hour later, the wooden cart stopped at the entrance of the village.
Sheng Yingying carried two bags and led the way with her two children.
Zhou Sese and Sheng Xijiang were at the end.
Zhou Sese whispered, "Did you remember what I told you at home?"
Comrade Sheng hummed, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Zhou Sese smiled at him with satisfaction. "On the surface, we took these things home. Secretly, we can secretly give money to your parents, but wealth should not be revealed. We should not be too ostentatious. After all, you have a special identity, and... sometimes, having no money can help you see some things clearly."
Sheng Xijiang certainly understood what she meant. "I'll listen to you. Whatever you say is what it is. You have the final say in our family."
Zhou Sese snorted proudly, "That's what you said, don't start pretending to be rich when you get to your family."
"Dad and Mom, what are you talking about back there? Hurry up and leave, you are the last one left."
"Here I come."
In response to her little girl, Zhou Sese quickened her pace.
Whether in her previous life or this life, she had never experienced the kindness of her mother, and she didn't know what kind of person she would be like as a mother-in-law whom she had never met.
Anyway, when people get along with each other, it is often a case of two good for one good. If you are good to me, I will naturally be good to you. If we are good together, the whole family will be good. If you are not good to me, I have no right or obligation to be good to you. If we are not good together, the whole family will be bad.
Probably because the area is vast and sparsely populated, every family's yard is very large, and there are no walls, but only fences.
"Here we are, this is my home!"
Sheng Yingying was the first to run to one of the doors, happily greeting everyone and shouting into the house, "Dad, Mom, come out quickly, my third brother and I are back!"
First, two children ran out, one about twelve or thirteen years old, the other about ten years old, "Auntie!"
Sheng Yingying nodded, but before she could say anything, Mr. Sheng and his wife came out.
"I'm back."
"Brother and sister-in-law." Sheng Yingying waited for a group of people to come over. "Brother and sister-in-law, let me introduce you. This is Aunt Zhang, my third sister-in-law's aunt. She came back with us to celebrate the New Year."
"Hello, Aunt Zhang."
"Hello." The old lady nodded towards a couple, her eyes swept across their faces, then quickly lowered her gaze and took the hand of Diandian next to her.
"Brother and sister-in-law, this is Chen Lie, she's... my boyfriend."
Boss Sheng was shocked and quickly reached out to shake Chen Lie's hand. "A few days ago, when I went to town, I called Yingying. Yingying said she wanted to bring her partner over for the New Year, and our whole family thought she was joking."
Chen Lie said gently, "It's my fault that I didn't call Big Brother in advance. I came here uninvited."
Boss Sheng shook his head. "No, no, we are all family. We should not say different things to each other. This is just Stars and Stars. Hello, I am your uncle, and this is your aunt."
The two children stood in front of the old lady and called for help obediently.
Finally, the couple came over slowly, "Brother."
"Third brother."
The two brothers hadn't seen each other for several years, and there was always an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity between them.
Sheng Xijiang was the first to break the silence, "Brother, this is my wife Zhou Sese. Sese, this is brother, this is sister-in-law, this is brother and sister-in-law, this is their eldest daughter Dahua, and this is their son Goudan."
Dahua and Goudan also called them Uncle San and Aunt San obediently.
Boss Sheng called out to everyone, "Don't just stand there, hurry inside and warm up. It's been so cold these past two days, and you've just arrived during the coldest time of the year. You're going to freeze your children on the way, right?"
Boss Sheng helped to carry the things, and a group of people entered the house in a mighty manner.
Zhu Jinhua, Sheng's wife, grabbed her husband and asked, "Didn't my second brother borrow a wooden cart to pick up my third brother at the train station? How come the third brother's family is here, but the second brother's family hasn't returned yet?"
Mr. Sheng said in a low voice, "I guess he's taken his son to town to play again. Whatever happens, let's not talk too much."
Zhu Jinhua curled her lips. "That's how the second brother does things. He told you to go long ago, but he and his wife insisted on going. They can go if they want, but they even insisted on bringing two children. The wooden cart is so small, and the third brother and his family brought so many people. They are not sensible at all."
Boss Sheng hissed, "It's not like you just now realize the character of the couple. Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's go inside. Don't look so stern. Someone who doesn't know would think you don't welcome the Third Brother and his family."
Zhu Jinhua immediately said, "How could I not welcome the Third Brother? But then again, the Third Brother's wife is so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven. I didn't even feel comfortable enough to look at her just now. The two children are also taken care of so well, they are fair and tender."
Main room.
A big kang was warm and two old people were sitting on it.
The old lady was sewing shoe soles, and the old man was smoking a pipe. When he sucked his lips, the flesh on his cheeks sank.
Come into the main room.
Sheng Xijiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two elders, "Dad and Mom, I am an unfilial son. I haven't been able to come back to spend the New Year with you in the past few years."
Old Man Sheng quickly put down his pipe and said, "Get up quickly, get up quickly. You are here to defend our country. You are the pride of your parents. What does it matter whether you spend the New Year with them or not? Get up quickly."
The old woman turned her back and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Now you say that again? Isn't it you who keeps complaining about why the third son hasn't come back every New Year? You always keep complaining until midnight!"
