After returning home, we prepared for the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, Lu Xia helped Aunt Wang clean the house.
Then Jiang Junmo and his grandfather were writing couplets on the table, and Kang Kang was watching excitedly at the side, looking like he wanted to try.
My aunt said she was on holiday, but she was called away by a phone call in the morning and I don’t know when she will be back.
But looking at Jiang Junmo and the others, they should have gotten used to it.
Fortunately, my aunt came back in the evening and we finally made it in time for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
However, seeing that she looked tired, she looked very exhausted, Lu Xia was a little worried.
"Aunt, would you like to go back to your room and lie down for a while? I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
The eldest aunt smiled and shook her head. "It's okay. I had an operation and stood for a long time. I'm a little tired. I'll just sit down and rest for a while."
After hearing this, Lu Xia did not try to persuade him any further.

...
In the evening, with Aunt Wang there, the New Year's Eve dinner was quite lively, especially with the addition of Kang Kang, the little cutie who livened up the atmosphere.
This year is the fifth New Year's Eve that Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo have spent together. They have finally said goodbye to the oil lamps and have electric lights!
It’s just that there was no Spring Festival Gala, and no one stayed up after dinner.
Grandpa Jiang is old and went to bed early. Aunt was also tired and went back to her room to rest. Kang Kang was too excited during the day and was already sleepy by now.
After Lu Xia and Jiang Junmo helped Aunt Wang clean up, they carried him back to the house.
The two of them didn't keep watch all night, they just lay together and talked, and they fell asleep without knowing when.
The next morning, right after I got up and had breakfast, the house was very lively.
There was a constant flow of people coming to pay New Year’s greetings.
There are neighbors, my uncle’s comrades-in-arms, and my grandfather’s former subordinates.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, my married sisters all came back, and the house became more lively.
Kang Kang received a lot of red envelopes for the New Year. He happily put them into the small shoulder bag that Jiang Junmo had specially sewn for him. He looked like a miser, which made everyone laugh.
Of course, as elders, Lu Xia and his friends gave out more red envelopes.
Until the sixth day of the New Year, the house was full of people coming and going, and Lu Xia took this opportunity to get to know all of Jiang's relatives and friends.
Of course, this new bride also made her first official appearance. With her status as a college student, everyone was very friendly to her and no one looked down on her.
On the seventh day, there were finally fewer people at home, and a group of people went to visit grandma's grave.
After returning, Grandpa Jiang took out a passbook and handed it to them.
"This is what your parents left behind, as well as the original pension. Aren't you going to renovate the house? You can keep this money for yourself in the future."
Jiang Junmo did not refuse when he saw this, but after taking it, he found that the amount inside was not right, it was obviously a lot more.
"Grandpa, are you depositing more money in there?"
Grandpa Jiang waved his hand and said, "It's not much. I just rounded it up for you. We weren't here when you got married, and we didn't prepare anything for you. You can buy whatever you need when the time comes."
Lu Xia also saw the number. To be honest, she didn't expect it to be so much, so she wanted to refuse it immediately.
"Why didn't you prepare anything? We have lived in the countryside for these years thanks to the things our family often sent us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have lived so well! Grandpa, you are really ashamed to say this now."
Grandpa Jiang smiled after hearing her words and said, "Alright, there's no need for so many calculations among a family. Just live a good life in the future!"
After hearing what he said, the two knew it was not good to refuse and had to accept it.
They just thought that their grandpa, uncles and sisters were all so good to them. The dedication and love between family members can no longer be measured by money or anything else. All they can do is to be filial to their grandpa in the future.
