Except for Xu Hongying, Gu Wanyin and Gu Qingqian who were busy in the kitchen, they were all gone.
Although they don't live here, they have to report here every morning like they are going to work.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. They have sent the red envelopes, but where are the people?
Shen Sisi walked into the kitchen, said Happy New Year to Xu Hongying, and then asked.
"Mom, where are my eldest sister, second sister and brother-in-law?"
Xu Hongying was steaming big delicious meat buns and cooking porridge on the side. Just the smell made my mouth water, and my mind was filled with the image of the sizzling soup.
"They all went back home, each to their own mother."
"So soon? Can't you play for a few more days?"
Shen Sisi just met her two brothers-in-law yesterday. They didn't even say a few words before she left in a hurry.
...
...
I only remember that my eldest brother-in-law was Zhou Guotao, a very upright and murderous man with a square face, sword-like eyebrows and sharp eyes.
He is the director of the Chaoan District Police Station in Kyoto and is usually very busy.
My second brother-in-law is an artist like Gu Qingqian, but he is a violinist. He is tall and handsome, but doesn't talk much, and he has the nobleness and elegance of an artist.
He and Gu Qingqian had a lot of topics to talk about, and they were in perfect harmony.
Both brothers-in-law left a very good impression on her, but it was a pity that they only met briefly and left before she had time to spend more time with them.
"They are married daughters and rarely spend the New Year at their parents' home. This year, because you are newly married, they can reunite with us with their son-in-law. They should be going back to their husband's family now. The children are all there!"
Shen Sisi nodded. It was really not easy for a married woman. Going back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year was a luxury, and she had to choose a special time.
In fact, this is also a kind of sweet trouble. After all, they still have their mother's home, but she has completely lost her mother's home.
"They are such a fool. They just go back. They gave so many red envelopes to Niuniu. I didn't even give them anything."
"It's okay, we're all family, no need to be so polite."
"By the way, where is Dad?" Shen Sisi asked.
Gu Changhe wouldn't have gone back to Kyoto, would he?
There was no one at home in Kyoto, it was so cold and lonely, why would he go back?
When talking about him, Xu Hongying frowned and said, "I don't care about him. He can go wherever he wants!"
At this time, a strong, deep and deep voice came from outside the door: "No wonder my ears are hot on this New Year's Day, it turns out someone is talking about me."
Gu Changhe came walking on the snow with a jar of rice wine in his hand.
"Dad!" Shen Sisi greeted him: "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Sisi!" Gu Changhe was obviously very happy, and his laughter became hearty and cheerful.
Shen Sisi welcomed the man in and poured him a cup of tea.
Except for her enthusiasm, no one in the family even looked at the old man.
Especially Gu Chengfeng, who was like an enemy to his father. After a quick greeting, he went to play with Niu Niu.
Shen Sisi could only smile awkwardly: "Drink tea, drink tea!"
Gu Changhe was already used to it, so he waved his hand indifferently, then took out a bulging red envelope and started teasing Niuniu: "Niuniu, look what this is?"
"Red envelope!" Niu Niu's big eyes turned into little crescents when she smiled.
The little guy is a money-grubber. When he saw the red envelope, he excitedly clasped his hands together and began to bow: "Grandpa, Happy New Year, I wish you prosperity, good health, and good work!"
This is the only sentence she knows, and it was her grandmother who taught her this morning.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Gu Changhe said okay three times and stuffed the red envelope into Niu Niu's little hand.
Niu Niu felt such a thick red envelope and couldn't help but open it to see what was inside. What she saw was a stack of big unity!
"So much money!" Shen Sisi was stunned and quickly asked Niuniu to return it to him.
Gu Changhe suddenly lowered his voice: "I know you young people are in trouble and need money right now. This is nothing. Take it!"
Shen Sisi pushed it back several times but failed, so she had to reluctantly accept it for Niu Niu.
Looking at this cheerful old man, Shen Sisi felt that he was somewhat different from what was rumored.
Could it be that there is some misunderstanding between them?
It just so happened that Niu Niu was pestering Gu Chengfeng to go to the yard to set off firecrackers, and Shen Sisi said tentatively.
"Dad, it's New Year's Day, you can't just stay in the guesthouse all the time, right? Come and live with mom! I'll bring Niuniu to sleep with me tonight."
Although he knew she meant well, Gu Changhe still shook his head: "Forget it, no need! This old woman doesn't like me."
"How could that be?" Shen Sisi pretended to be dumbfounded, blinking her eager eyes: "Dad, is there any misunderstanding here?"
Gu Changhe sighed softly: "Isn't it just a misunderstanding?"
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this, but your mother has always thought that I have someone else in my heart and is upset with me!"
"What?" Shen Sisi felt that there was hope, and the matter was indeed unusual.
"This story begins when your mother and I were young."
"We weren't married at the time. I was engaged to a girl, but then I saved your mom and ruined her innocence. Out of a sense of responsibility, I broke off the engagement and married her."
"Life was good at first after marriage, but then things changed..."
Gu Changhe said that ever since the girl who broke off the engagement graduated and started working, she always had things to bother him with and would come to his workplace every few days.
He had refused many times, but the girl always talked to him about breaking off the engagement, which made him soften his heart again and again and forced him to help.
"Because of helping, I missed a lot of important moments of your mother."
"When your mother gave birth to the eldest child, it was raining that night. The girl came to me and said that the dormitory she lived in was leaking, and begged me to help her repair the house."
"I thought your mother's pregnancy was only full term and she wouldn't give birth too early, so I went there in the rain. Who would have thought she would get so angry at home that the baby was born prematurely."
"It was the neighbor who sent your mother to the hospital. After that, your mother became alienated from me."
There were many things like this. Every time when it came to a critical point, the girl would come over at the right time and send him away with all kinds of reasons.
As time went by, the relationship between the couple became worse and worse.
Xu Hongying endured for many years, and even when her children grew up, the woman still refused to give in and refused to marry.
They say that people who were so stunning when they were young are not worthy of their eyes after that, and they have to accept Gu Changhe.
Gu Changhe was also a soft-hearted person. He always went to help, thinking that he was sorry for the girl.
In the end, Xu Hongying couldn't stand it anymore and went to the woman's unit and presented a banner, which finally ended it all.
"Hongying has a very bad temper. She does things without considering the consequences. She goes to extremes in everything. She has harmed herself and the girl. The girl even attempted suicide. What can I do?"
"They don't understand me, and they don't know the pain in my heart."
He was full of grievances and didn't know where he had gone wrong all these years. He still felt very wronged.
The more Shen Sisi listened, the angrier she became, and she had to barely suppress the urge to beat someone up.
"Dad, don't you know where you went wrong?"
