The village was very lively during the Spring Festival. Children ran around and adults gathered to chat.
Chen Jianguo went straight through the mountain behind the house, and when he got to the cowshed, he saw no one there, so he opened the door and went in.
With the Gu family gone, it was convenient for him to come in openly.
"Comrade Chen, you've arrived..."
"Comrade Chen, Happy New Year!" Xie Chengbo and his wife greeted Chen Jianguo happily when they saw him.
Chen Jianguo responded to each question and then went to see the old man.
Old Man Yi humphed, "I thought you'd forgotten about the old commander here."
Chen Jianguo....
As soon as he entered, he started speaking in a sarcastic tone, and I knew exactly where the old man's arrogance came from.
"Why are you coming in? What are you doing standing there like a block of wood?"
Then Xie Chengbo and his wife came in, and the three of them also had a New Year's Eve dinner.
Meat, vegetables, and wine—pouring them out won't hurt you.
Chen Jianguo took everything out, and Zhao Yazhen came over to help.
When the topic turned to the Gu family, Chen Jianguo, seeing the old man's disdainful expression, didn't care.
"Jianguo, how is things in Beijing now, after your last trip there?" Xie Chengbo asked.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo briefly explained, "Many people went back, but their condition..."
The other three people in the room, upon hearing this, were completely bewildered and remained silent for a long time.
Old Man Yi comforted the couple, "Alright, since you can go back, at least you can see the children!"
The couple clicked on the screen, and although they didn't know when they would be going back, having something to look forward to was better than nothing.
"Jianguo, I heard you got promoted!" Old Man Yi suddenly asked.
Chen Jianguo nodded hurriedly, "Yes, our station chief has retired!"
"If you've been promoted, then work hard!" Old Man Yi said, puffing out a cloud of smoke.
After that, without saying anything else, Chen Jianguo saw that the three of them were getting along well, so he decided to leave first, taking the letter from Zhao Yazhen with him when he left.
After Chen Jianguo returned home, he didn't mention the cowshed incident, and Su Xia didn't ask either.
The family started playfully fighting.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, only Mr. and Mrs. Chen remained at the old house; everyone else had gone back to their parents' homes.
Su Xia was surprised again. Chen's mother understood what she meant and said with a smirk, "Ever since Da Ya got married, the second son's wife has started to get in touch with her maternal family again!"
Speaking of the Xia family, she even complained, "But in the last two years, the second son's father's health has been getting better and better, and the second son is thinking of having the whole family go together!"
Su Xia nodded. Even if things went well, her father was in good health, so she had to go back.
"Mom, we're heading out now. There's food in the kitchen; you and Dad can heat it up!"
Chen's mother waved her hand and said, "I understand. You should hurry up and leave, don't keep your parents waiting!"
Su Xia nodded and led her family out. Since there was only one bicycle, Chen Jianguo could ride it while carrying the two younger children and Erbao. They went ahead first.
Su Xia took Niu Niu and Da Bao for a leisurely stroll.
"Mom, what about Uncle and Second Uncle?" Da Bao ran over and asked a very important question...
Su Xia rolled her eyes. "So what if I say 'I'll eat you'?"
Upon hearing this, Da Bao exclaimed, "No way! I'm afraid my aunt will cause trouble again, and besides, my older brother and sister-in-law are back too!"
Niu Niu, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Mom, why does Auntie like Sister-in-law so much?"
"Yes, Mom, I think my sister-in-law is really nice. She always brings us food when she comes, and she's very good to us!" Da Bao said, also puzzled.
Su Xia thought for a moment and explained simply, "Because your sister-in-law was chosen by your aunt, that's why she likes it!"
"Who does your aunt like? Could it be that she still has feelings for Da Ya?" Da Bao's eyes widened.
"Mom, Auntie doesn't actually like Sister Daya. She just wants to find a job, preferably a sister-in-law with a city household registration!" Niu Niu looked at Su Xia, thinking that her guess was probably pretty close to the truth.
Su Xia nodded. "Your aunt is overly ambitious. Before, she was always talking about this and that in the village, even mentioning being a sent-down youth. Eventually, she got so annoyed that she complained to the team leader..."
The siblings stared wide-eyed, never expecting their aunt to be so formidable...
Su's parents started waiting for Xiaoxue early in the morning. After Xiaoxue started her holiday, the elderly couple went straight to the village.
Their home here is their root; how could they possibly miss it?
"Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt and the others will all be here soon, let's go inside first!" said Su Qiu.
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Su obediently went inside. Yue Liang, who was holding the child in the living room, immediately asked anxiously, "Didn't Aunt and the others come?"
Su Qiu shook her head. "It might take a while!"
Su's mother glanced at her great-granddaughter, who was sleeping soundly. "Do you want to go to Yue Liang's house?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qiu looked at his wife, Yue Liang, who shook her head. "Grandma, our home is right here, there's no need to rush!"
Su's mother nodded, knowing that the young couple wanted to wait for their daughter, and then went back inside to wait.
Su Xia was waiting here, and the second son, Su Xi, and his family were also waiting.
Because of Su Chun's marriage, Su Ersao did not return to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but instead waited for her daughter and son-in-law at her parents' home.
Just as Mr. and Mrs. Su were waiting, shouts came from the courtyard...
The man sat up abruptly. "It looks like Erbao?" Su's father confirmed.
*Slap...* Su's mother slapped him in anger.
"Go out and take a look!"
"Oh..."
Su's father and Su Qiu both went out, and Su's mother followed suit, telling Yue Liang, "Don't come out, the child will get cold!"
Just as she was about to leave, Moon, holding her daughter, waited anxiously in the main room.
Chen Jianguo led the three children to the Su family home first and met Su's parents.
"Father, Mother..."
"Why...."
"Quickly... bring the little one inside!" Mr. and Mrs. Su each picked up one child, and Su Qiu simply lifted the second baby up.
This elicited giggles and laughter: "Haha...Big brother, you're amazing!"
"Does Erbao still remember his older brother?"
"Of course, I still remember my sister-in-law!"
"Oh right, where's my little niece!" Seven-year-old Erbao excitedly asked, thinking he had become an uncle.
Pfft....
Su Qiu laughed, just like Chen Jianguo, who was shaking his head and looking at his son, which was quite adorable.
When Su's parents saw Chen Jianguo go out to pick up people again, they felt very relieved.
"My uncle is so good to my aunt!" Moon exclaimed enviously.
"Hmm... their relationship has always been very good!"
"Alright, let's start cooking, it's almost ready!" Mother Su waved her hand, gesturing for her husband, Su Qiu, to get to work.
As for the moon, look at the three smaller ones.
Su Bei, the youngest son of Su Xi's family next door, saw Chen Jianguo go out again and hurriedly ran back.
"Father, Mother, Uncle has gone out again!"
"real?"
"Okay, but let's leave Erbao and the others here!"
Uncle Su immediately understood, "We should go pick up our little sister!"
Second Sister-in-law Su nodded, glancing at her second daughter, Su Lan, who was less attractive than her eldest daughter...
Thinking of the eldest daughter of the Chen family marrying into the capital, the second and third daughters joining the army, and the rest continuing their studies, they will all soon find work in the county town, and even if they are poor, they will all find good families...
But for my family, the eldest daughter eventually married the youngest son of the village headman in the neighboring village. He will become the accountant in the future, so it's not a bad thing.
But Su Lan, the second daughter, and her sister-in-law, were both dissatisfied and always wanted to find a city man...
Then she looked at her husband and said, "Honey, we're going to the old house in a bit!"
Su Ershu looked at his second daughter and finally nodded.
Su Xia had no idea that after her eldest sister-in-law left, her second sister-in-law was now thinking about her...
