Time flies, and Wen Guoer has been in this world for more than ten days.
Ever since she found work for her sisters-in-law, several of them have been vying to show their courtesy to her, and all the work in her hands has been snatched away by them.
The men renovated the house and cleaned Old Tang's house thoroughly.
Xiaobai can also stand up and run around the house.
Today is New Year's Eve. It is snowing outside and the ground is covered with ice and snow.
The villagers were enthusiastic, and every household began to put up spring couplets and cut window decorations. The stone mill not far from the Tang family was lined with women grinding millet, asking each other what they had prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner...
Wen Guoer experienced the Spring Festival of this era for the first time, and everything was new and exciting. Tang's mother got some frozen pears from somewhere and shared them with her and the children.
Tang Xiu got two pieces of fruit candy from someone's house, and when he came back, he peeled one and put it in his aunt's mouth.
The kitchen of Old Tang's family was also busy. Zhao Lai Di was humming a tune while walking, because this year Old Tang's family prepared an extra-sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
Braised fish, stewed spare ribs, braised pork, spicy rabbit meat, fried meatballs, sauerkraut and meat dumplings, rice cakes, sticky rice dumplings, pork stewed with vermicelli, big white steamed buns... the yard is full of fragrance.
When night fell and the food was served, Old Man Tang put down his pipe and poured two taels of white wine for each man in the family.
After taking a bite of meat and a sip of wine, Shu Chang couldn't even speak clearly: "Eat, everyone, eat!"
Tang's mother didn't share the food today, letting everyone eat as much as they wanted.
Zhao Lai Di only had the meat in her eyes now, and she couldn't see or hear anything else. The way she ate made Tang's mother unable to help but glare at her several times.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Tang's mother brought melon seeds, peanuts and dried fruits picked from the mountains to the table on the kang. Everyone gathered around a kerosene lamp, chatting and staying up to celebrate the New Year.
Wen Guoer recalled the original owner's previous memories, but could hardly find any information about the Chinese New Year. It seemed that every day was the same to her, and no day was special. She felt sorry for the original owner's short life.
Life has not been kind to her, and she has never been kind to life.
The reason why life is interesting is that people are willing to experience life with their hearts.
Wen Guoer ultimately failed to keep watch, falling asleep on the table halfway through...
When she woke up on New Year's Day, she met Tang Zhan's eyes.
"Happy New Year, my wife."
"Why did I go back to our room?" She was still stuck in the memory of staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.
"You fell asleep."
Wen Guoer: "......"
In the morning, the family had a reunion breakfast. It was a simple meal, a Northeastern hotpot made with the leftovers from last night, accompanied by a bowl of rice porridge for each person. Everyone enjoyed it very much.
After breakfast, Tang's father and mother were at home, and all the rest of the people, led by Tang Ming, went to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the village.
At this time, in the Su family's study downstairs in the Beijing Military Region compound, the phone rang.
"How is it?" the old man asked anxiously after answering the phone.
"Old Chief, the couple you asked to investigate are Ms. Wen Yurou's distant cousin and sister-in-law, and after our investigation, we confirmed that the child is your granddaughter."
"Clang~" the phone fell...
"Old Chief, Old Chief, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'll have the information delivered right away!"
"Yes!" The phone was hung up.
The old man stood there blankly, his hands holding the desk trembling slightly, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.
He had been searching for sixteen years, and finally there was news of his little granddaughter.
"Hello, connect me to the office of the commander of the D269th Regiment of the x3789th Unit of the Northeast Military Region." The old man finally calmed down and started to make a call.
"Hello, who is this~"
"Damn it! Bullying my granddaughter!" The old man was still muttering to himself indignantly. When he heard the phone was answered, he gave a sonorous order:
"Su Jin, the eldest son of the Su family, your grandfather orders you to do everything you can to take good care of your sister! Bring her home as soon as possible and don't let her be bullied." Su Jin was confused after listening to the roar on the phone.
"Grandpa, Grandpa? Grandpa, what did you just say? Sister? Are you saying that my sister has been found?" Su Jin reacted to what the old man said and thought of a possibility.
"The information you provided last time is true!" the old man said concisely.
"I guarantee to complete the mission!" What's there to understand? Su Jin excitedly stood at attention and saluted into the phone.
The old man really wanted to see his granddaughter soon. The thought of her being sold as a child bride made him furious. He had to find out what kind of man his grandson-in-law was. If he dared to let his granddaughter suffer any injustice, he would shoot him.
Fortunately, the military district where his eldest grandson was stationed was nearby, so he could take care of his granddaughter. He believed that with his eldest grandson's ability, he could take good care of his little granddaughter.
