"Dad, no matter what you are thinking about, you'd better stop. You are just thinking too much. Xiaobei and I haven't seen each other for a long time... and then we hugged each other." I have a mouth, how can I let my old father have a misunderstanding in front of the two of us? I don't care about face, and my husband doesn't care about face either.
Yang Xiaobei nodded in agreement. "Dad, that's what happened. It was a complete misunderstanding." I'm a very manly person.
Jiang He waved his hand indifferently, "I know, I know. It's not a big deal. Do I need to explain? Between a couple, you hug me and I hug you. Isn't it normal?" It's just that your posture is a little unique. I am not very knowledgeable, so I looked at it a few more times. If I, an old man, had seen it a few more times, I wouldn't even look at it if you asked me to.
Jiang Shushu: “…” If your eyes hadn’t been rolling around, would I have explained?
…
A family of four sat together to eat and chat.
…
The next afternoon, Jiang Mingli brought the Jiang Wenzhe brothers back to Jiangjia Village. The three of them were carrying large and small bags and looked exhausted from the journey.
Jiang Shushu glanced at Jiang Mingli and found that Jiang Mingli seemed a little older: Oh, it seems that life as a single dad is not easy.
Jiang Shushu turned his gaze to the two children and found that they had not lost weight and were in good spirits: they were quite responsible and took good care of the two children.
When Jiang Mingli returned home, he thought he would only see the expectant eyes of the two old people, but he didn't expect that Jiang Shushu and his wife were also there. The four of them were eating and chatting animatedly.
The son travels, and the mother worries...none of them.
Jiang Mingli was a little puzzled: "..." It's Chinese New Year, aren't my younger sister and brother-in-law going home to celebrate? Are they going to wait until they've had the New Year's Eve dinner before leaving?
"Dad, Mom, little sister, brother-in-law, we are back."
"Hello, grandpa, grandma, aunt, and uncle."
Xu Hehua hurried forward to greet them, "Okay, okay, okay, I'm glad you're back. Hurry into the house and put your things down. I've already cleaned up your room."
After chatting for a while, they started to act separately to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The happiest ones were Jiang Wenzhe and his brother, because Jiang He killed two chickens at once. When the two brothers knew that they could each eat two chicken legs tonight, they jumped for joy.
First, they had chicken legs to eat in the evening, and second, Jiang He and his wife took the brothers' words to heart and fulfilled their promise to them.
Jiang Mingli was working, but he was always paying attention to Jiang Shushu and his wife. From their conversation, he also understood that Jiang Shushu and his wife would stay at the Jiang family for the New Year.
Jiang Mingli finally found a chance to be alone with Xu Hehua and whispered, "Mom, my younger sister and brother-in-law aren't going back to their house for the New Year?" Isn't Yang Xiaobei afraid of being laughed at? Even if I didn't go back to Jiangjia Village for the New Year, I would never spend New Year's Eve and the first day at the Shen family.
"No, there's no one at your brother-in-law's house except him. It's more lively with more people when we're at the New Year."
"Isn't my brother-in-law afraid of people gossiping about him?" He's a police officer, a successful man after all. How could he be so careless about his reputation? Isn't he afraid of being called a live-in son-in-law? Is he so open-minded?
"Your sister asked, and Xiaobei took the initiative to say that he wanted to celebrate the New Year at our house, saying that it would be lively and lively with more people around, and that Xiaobei knows almost everyone in the village, so who would laugh at him?" Xiaobei was wronged for Shushu. I have to make boiled chicken from one of the two chickens later, as Xiaobei likes it. I'll leave a big chicken leg for Xiaobei.
"If you agree to this, even if the villagers don't laugh at you, then his colleagues and neighbors will definitely laugh at you, right? What if they quarrel over this in the future?" What if they quarrel and become displeased with their parents? Isn't this just a small loss for the big picture?
When Jiang Shushu mentioned this, Jiang He and his wife were hesitant at first. After all, it wasn't customary for a son-in-law to spend the New Year at his parents' home. Yang Xiaobei usually took good care of them, and Jiang He and his wife didn't want others to talk about him during the New Year. Later, when Jiang Shushu mentioned Yang Xiaobei's desire to come home for the New Year, and that he was familiar with the area and had friends there, Jiang He and his wife agreed.
Jiang He was afraid that people in the village would gossip about him, so he went from house to house to tell everyone that Yang Xiaobei was coming to celebrate the New Year at his home. He praised Yang Xiaobei for being sensible, filial, and considerate, and said that he was afraid that the old couple would be bored at home, so he came to spend the New Year with them.
"Why wouldn't you agree? Xiaobei isn't that petty; he's very open-minded. He's been an educated youth here for over a year, and he knows almost everyone in the village. He also has friends here, just like everyone else in the village. Celebrating the New Year in our house is like being at home. Xiaobei's colleagues and neighbors are so envious of her, how could they possibly laugh at her? Xiaobei told us that when they heard we prepared so much food for him, they were envious."
Before Yang Xiaobei came, Jiang He and his wife were a little worried. But after Yang Xiaobei told them about the envy of his colleagues and neighbors last night, they were no longer worried.
Xu Hehua frowned, "You don't like Xiaobei spending the New Year at home?"
"No, no, I'm just curious." He himself had no objection, and I, who only came back a few days a year, had even less objection.
…
The family was busy and soon nine dishes and a soup were served on the table.
Jiang He: "It's a reunion dinner. I wish everyone good health, constant smiles, success in everything, and a better life in the coming year. Let's eat."
The Jiang Wenzhe brothers looked at the eight chicken legs piled together on the table, and their teeth were almost showing when they laughed.
"Grandma, grandma, chicken legs, chicken legs." There are eight chicken legs, so should we brothers get four each?
Xu Hehua smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we have them all. Grandma will pick some for you. When you left last time, I told you that I would give each of you two chicken legs."
"Thank you, grandma." Although it's not four, two will be fine.
Xu Hehua picked up two chicken legs, one big and one small, for the two children.
"Shushu, Xiaobei, this is the first time you've spent the New Year at home since you got married. Come, have a big chicken drumstick. I hope you'll live happily ever after."
"Thank you, Mom."
Just as Xu Hehua was about to sit back in her seat, she caught sight of her son out of the corner of her eye, and immediately straightened her back and clamped her eldest son's calf.
"Mingli, you also eat a chicken drumstick, and wish you smooth sailing in the coming year."
"Thank you, Mom." Mom was about to sit back down, and I thought there was no place for me. It turns out that Mom still remembered me. I thought no one would want me anymore.

Each short story is a complete story line. The characters have their own characteristics and their IQ is normal. The heroine is a growth-oriented person who is weak at first and then becomes strong.
