Panpan was very excited to see so many people. The little girl wasn't afraid of the cold and wandered through the crowd, giggling non-stop.
Because he was running too fast, he accidentally bumped into someone and fell flat on his back, like a little turtle, unable to get up for a long time.
It was a kind aunt who helped her up, and Grandma He was heartbroken.
The person who was hit kept cursing and swearing.
Bai Xiaoyue felt strange. Who was this person, arguing with a three-year-old child?
When she took a closer look, it wasn't surprising, because the person who was hit was Li Xinru.
Grandma He kept bowing and apologizing to her.
Li Xinru relentlessly pointed at He Panpan and scolded, "Where did this wild child come from? She was born of a mother but has no upbringing."
He Panpan was so frightened that she burst into tears.
Grandma He also got angry: "You have a mother to teach you, yet you're picking on a three-year-old. And you call yourself an educated youth? Have you wasted all your knowledge?"
Li Xinru was speechless and wanted to throw a tantrum, but just then Yan Yugang returned with his things and dragged her away.
Her actions shocked all the educated youth.
When Yan Xiaosong saw Luo Xiaowei also coming to collect her things, he happily ran over and followed her around.
Aunt Yan couldn't bear to look at her worthless son, so she took the things and went home herself.
Luo Xiaowei said helplessly, "Xiaosong, go back quickly, the old lady has already left."
Yan Xiaosong said, "Xiaowei, let me talk to you."
Luo Xiaowei shook her head: "I don't need anyone to accompany me."
Yan Xiaosong: "Then talk to me, I need someone to keep me company."
Luo Xiaowei: "Speak!"
Yan Xiaosong whispered, "Xiaowei, come to my house for the New Year!"
Luo Xiaowei rolled her eyes at him: "Going to your house for the New Year? What right do I have to go to your house?"
Yan Xiaosong whispered, "My boyfriend!"
Luo Xiao smiled and scolded, "You're taking advantage of my kindness. How can you date someone so ambiguously?"
Yan Xiaosong suddenly grabbed Luo Xiaowei's hand and asked, "Xiaowei, do you agree? Should I find a matchmaker to propose marriage?"
Looking at the man who had silently accompanied her for two years, Luo Xiaowei solemnly said:
"Yan Xiaosong, I have a few conditions. Let's see if you can meet them first!"
Yan Xiaosong said with a beaming smile, "Xiaowei, as long as you agree to be with me, I will agree to any conditions, no matter how many."
Luo Xiaowei said seriously, "No rush, listen to this first. First, I don't live with Li Xinru. I hate her and don't want to associate with her."
Second, if I have the opportunity to go to university, you must not stop me.
Third, you must also study actively, and go abroad if you have the opportunity.
Yan Xiaosong replied earnestly, "Xiaowei, I promise I can do it. I also dislike Li Xinru and don't associate with my older brother much."
If you can go to university, I will definitely support you and won't hold you back.
I'm looking for a plot of land to build a house, far away from my older brother's house, okay?
Luo Xiaowei nodded: "Come over when your house is finished."
Yan Xiaosong grinned and said, "Xiaowei, you wait for me."
He escorted Luo Xiaowei back to the educated youth compound and ran to share the good news with Yan Ci:
"Brother, Xiaowei agreed. You were right, sincerity can move mountains, and Xiaowei was finally moved by me."
Yan Ci nodded: "Congratulations."
Yan Xiaosong: "Brother, I'm really happy. I'm going to build a new house and marry Xiaowei."
Yan Ci sat beside him, smoking, listening to Yan Xiaosong talk enthusiastically about his plans for the future.
He had finished his cigarette, but Yan Xiaosong was still talking non-stop, showing no sign of stopping. He turned around and went into his own yard.
Yan Xiaosong shouted, "Brother, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Yan Ci replied, "Go talk to your wife."
Everyone was especially happy today. Lin Xiao saw that Bai Wenyi was smiling so much that his eyes were almost closed.
He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother Wen, is it really necessary? A set of clothes, a little meat, a few pounds of flour—it's not like you can't afford it."
Bai Wenyi stopped smiling and said to him, "Lin Xiao, you don't understand. Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone."
I am happy for everyone; this year, the entire village, young and old, will finally be able to have a satisfying New Year.
The past few years have been incredibly tough; the commune members couldn't afford to eat or wear nice clothes.
Lin Xiao didn't understand these things, so he changed the subject: "Brother Wen, my foot is all healed, and it's almost Chinese New Year, so I won't bother you anymore."
Bai Wenyi asked him to stay, "Lin Xiao, there's nothing much going on right now, what are you busy with?"
Lin Xiao insisted on leaving, so Bai Wenyi saw him off out of the village.
As soon as I stepped out of my house, I ran into Chang Le and Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai quickly greeted them, and Bai Wenyi asked the two what they were going to do.
Little Bai obediently replied, "Second Uncle, my sister and I are going to Grandma Qiu's house to exchange for tofu. Are you going out with your friend?"
Bai Wenyi pointed to Lin Xiao and said to Xiao Bai, "This is my second uncle's friend. You can call him Uncle Lin. I'll go see him off."
The siblings obediently greeted, "Hello, Uncle Lin."
Watching the siblings' retreating figures, Lin Xiao asked Bai Wenyi, "Brother Wen, you have such a grown niece?"
Bai Wenyi said, "My nephew is older. This is my sister's child, the one from Yan Ci's family."
Lin Xiao: "Oh, that Yan Ci who's very skilled and can drive."
Bai Wenyi nodded: "Yes, that's him. He and his wife were busy making this batch of clothes recently. Otherwise, I would have taken you to their house for a meal. My sister's cooking is delicious."
Lin Xiao said with a grin, "Now that these clothes are finished, shouldn't they be free? How about we go over for a free meal today?"
Bai Wenyi asked with amusement, "Aren't you in a hurry to go back?"
Lin Xiao shamelessly said, "You can have lunch before you leave."
Bai Wenyi: "What's wrong? You can't resist eating just because the food looks good? Come on, let's go get a free meal."
Then, the two walked straight toward Yan Ci's house.
When Yan Ci saw the two arrive, his face darkened as he asked, "What is it?"
Bai Wenyi chuckled awkwardly: "Yan Ci, I need to speak with Xiao Yue."
Bai Xiaoyue came out when she heard the sound: "Second brother is here."
Seeing Lin Xiao behind him, he said, "Oh, you brought friends too! Come on in."
Bai Wenyi said, "This is Lin Xiao, the friend who helped us change the fabric."
Bai Xiaoyue quickly said, "Lin Xiao, you've really helped us a lot. Thank you for your help."
Lin Xiao said politely, "It's nothing, it's nothing, just a small favor."
Bai Xiaoyue asked Yan Ci to stay with the two of them, and then said to Bai Wenyi, "Second Brother, I'm cooking, why don't you stay for a simple meal?"
Bai Wenyi sat down and said, "I'm just here to freeload a meal."
Bai Xiaoyue busied herself in the kitchen.
I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a proper meal. Today I finally had some free time, so I cooked chicken stew with mushrooms to treat my family.
If you want something flavorful, have Chang Le and Xiao Bai go and exchange some tofu for Mapo Tofu.
Now that there are two more people, she asked Ruyi to wash some potatoes and make a braised pork dish with potatoes.
Bai Xiaoyue quickly prepared the food, and Chang Le and Ruyi began to serve it on the table.
Lin Xiao's eyes widened when he saw Chang Le and Ru Yi take off their hats.
These two sisters are like a bright rose and a delicate lotus.
