And outside the door, the person who came to pay New Year's greetings was Aunt Sangui from Zhangjia Village.
"Sanshui, Siju, come and wish the factory director a happy new year!" Aunt Sangui said hurriedly.
Although the two children were shy, they quickly went up to Zhang Xingrong and greeted her with a New Year's greeting.
Zhang Xingrong handed the red envelopes she had prepared long ago to the two children. The two children were afraid to accept them, but only accepted them after getting their mother's permission.
Zhang Xingrong brought the group into the house and invited them to sit down and chat while eating melon seeds. After just a few words, the outside became bustling with activity, and more people arrived.
Zhang Xingrong hurried out. A crowd of people, all from the village, as well as from other villages in the brigade, gathered. Some came to pay New Year's greetings, while others came to curry favor. The Zhang family's residence was suddenly bustling with activity.
Zhang Xingrong had already made preparations. She didn't have any other items, but she had plenty of pine nuts. Besides pine nuts, she also had plenty of peanuts and edamame grown in her own plot, more than enough to cater to the guests.
"Rongya, why are you the only one here? Where are your brothers?"
Zhang Xingrong said, "They went to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the commune today."
Everyone nodded, chatting and laughing, and for a moment the Zhang family was bustling with activity. Aunt Changzhu and the others helped to cook some food and entertained everyone.
After all the busyness, she almost forgot about Lu Ran. Although she had prepared to entertain the guests, she didn't expect so many people to come, so she was a little overwhelmed.
In previous years, no one came to visit them. Even relatives looked down on them.
When she remembered, it was almost time for dinner. She quickly made a bowl of medicine for herself and brought the food to her room.
In the room, Lu Ran couldn't wait any longer and looked at her pitifully with an empty stomach.
He originally wanted to go out. He knew that Zhang Xingrong hadn't told anyone about their marriage. As long as he went out, everyone would know, but he didn't want to make Rongya angry again.
He had promised her to think it over, and leaving at this time would be counterproductive. Moreover, if he were to suffer a little, it would soften Zhang Xingrong's heart.
Sure enough, Zhang Xingrong felt guilty and anxious. Lu Ran was a grown man, but except for breakfast in the morning, he didn't eat anything at noon and didn't take any medicine.
"I'm sorry, there were too many people outside and I couldn't take care of you."
Lu Ran shook his head: "It doesn't matter."
Seeing him like this, Zhang Xingrong felt even more guilty. She first changed his medicine and then personally fed him the medicine and food.
After eating and drinking, Lu Ran said sensibly, "You should get out now. People will get suspicious if they can't see you."
Zhang Xingrong nodded: "Have a good rest. I'll come see you after they leave."
Lu Ran nodded: "Go ahead, don't get too tired."
Zhang Xingrong hesitated to speak. She felt quite guilty and softened her heart: "You should have a good rest."
After giving her instructions, she left. She was gone for quite a while, and no one thought much of it. People have urgent needs, and you can't always watch over them, right?
"Rongya, Happy New Year!"
At this moment, another group of people came into the yard. Zhang Xingrong looked up and saw that it was her aunt.
It's really strange. Ever since her father died, this aunt has looked down on her brothers and sisters. She always bullies them every time she goes to the Zhang family. But now she actually wishes her a happy new year!
"Rongya, Happy New Year! Auntie is here to see you!"
The people in the room looked at it and didn't know what was going on, so they just smiled.
Zhang Xingrong laughed: "Aunt, didn't you go to see your parents during the New Year?"
The people on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, but my uncle was quick to react and said with a smile, "They've done so many bad things, we won't go there."
