After hearing Tiedan's reasons, Jianshu was speechless. Wu Xiufang's considerations made sense. She thought this was convenient and wouldn't lead to any crooked thoughts. But that didn't mean everyone else thought the same. She had been inconsiderate before.
Seeing that Tiedan was still a little depressed and looked a little unwilling to accept it, she had to make amends and comforted him, "Your mother is right. It's really not appropriate to bring a bag to someone else's house. But it's okay to come to my house. Go back and get your bag later, and I'll fill it up for you."
The child had been obsessed with wrapping things, and she had to fulfill that wish. Otherwise, it would surely remain in his mind for who knows how long.
Tiedan's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head dejectedly, "No need, pretty sister."
"Of course not! You have to! I said I'd fill it up for you, so how can you go back on your word?" Jian Shu did what she said and sent the man back to get his bag. "Hurry up, go get your bag now, and you can pick whatever you want to eat later."
"And you too, Yaya, go back and take your brothers and sisters to get your bags. Your aunt will definitely fill them up for you today." She did not show favoritism and left out all four children.
Normally she has a good relationship with Tiedan, so it's okay if she gives anything to one of them individually, but now all the children are in front of her, so either don't give it to any of them, or give it all at once. Giving it to one and not giving it to the other will easily destroy the relationship between the children.
There is no need to be too partial to them since we don't lack these things at home.
Jian Shu immediately sent the four siblings back to get their bags, and then asked Gu Mingjing to take out all the candies, snacks, and sunflower seeds they had bought. Fortunately, she had prepared them in advance, and with the addition of the things Meng Ying and the others had sent her, there was still a lot of these things at home, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to share today.
I packed a bag for each of the four people, and later many children came to pay New Year's greetings. Soon the living room was full of children, and it was very lively.
After eating, drinking and having fun, he stuffed a lot of things into everyone's pockets when he said goodbye. By the time everyone left, most of the candies and snacks prepared at home were gone, leaving only a pile of melon seed shells and candy wrappers on the ground to prove that they had existed.
We can't sweep the floor on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so we don't care about the garbage on the ground. This is the case in every household.
In the evening, the two of them ate dumplings and leftovers. The more sumptuous the New Year's Eve dinner was, the more embarrassing it was to eat leftovers after the New Year. And judging by the looks of it, these leftovers would have to last for two days.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two of them had free time. Gu Mingjing rarely had to go to work, so the two of them stayed at home for two days without even going out.
Overall, this New Year was quite relaxing.
In the past few years, during the Lunar New Year, Jianshu had to work, so he couldn't even take two days off. Even on holiday, he couldn't rest. He had to visit every household to pay New Year's greetings. Just walking around the compound took several days. There were grandparents, uncles, and aunts everywhere. Every step you took was a familiar face. By the time he finished paying New Year's greetings, the New Year was almost over.
Throughout the year, the days around the New Year are the most tiring, but I still have to go. The New Year atmosphere is still very strong these days.
Of course, despite being tired, Jianshu is still very happy. After all, there are fewer and fewer years like this. In a few decades, there will no longer be such a festive and lively New Year.
The leftovers at home were not eaten up until the third day of the New Year. At noon on the fourth day, Jianshu couldn't wait to make a pot of pickled fish and cooked firewood rice with rice crust. She was really tired of eating dumplings and leftovers these days, and she had to eat something fresh to change the taste.
The spicy and sour pickled fish is a perfect accompaniment to rice. The fish fillets are smooth and tasty, and one bite will whet your appetite. It also contains her favorite thousand sheets and vermicelli noodles, as well as some homemade bean sprouts. It is simply delicious when eaten with rice.
Jianshu ate so much that his stomach was full, and he walked around the house for a long time before digesting the food.
In the following days, as if to make up for the hurt she had suffered a few days ago, she cooked different kinds of delicious food every day. After the Chinese New Year, she fed Gu Mingjing so much that he gained a lot of weight.
Han Jingshan and the others started joking and asked his sister-in-law what delicious food she cooked at home every day. She said she had to control herself a little bit, as her face had become fatter.
Gu Mingjing boasted bluntly about the benefits of having a wife, which made several people envious and jealous. At the same time, he secretly trained more, vowing to restore his former perfect figure.
Otherwise, what if his wife dislikes him?
After the Chinese New Year, those who went back to visit their families also returned to the army one after another. Gu Mingjing took some time to bring his soldiers home for a meal and a gathering.
As a leader, this kind of thing is inevitable, and there will always be a few times throughout the year. After all, a leader who is aloof and aloof is definitely not as popular as a leader who is down-to-earth and gets along well with his subordinates.
Of course, it wasn't all utilitarianism. It was more because of the experiences he'd had over the years that Gu Mingjing cared deeply for his soldiers. Before he got married, he'd share the food he'd received, and he'd even treat everyone to a good meal out of his own pocket during the holidays.
He was strict during training, but privately, he was open and honest, and they could talk to each other. Many soldiers were very close to him, and when they encountered any problems, they would consult him for advice and help, and he would do his best to help them.
After they got married, he lent out much of the ten yuan pocket money that Jianshu gave him every month to those in need.
Later, Jianshu found out about it and listed this part of the expenses separately, so that he didn't have to use his pocket money to pay for it.
This kind of thing is very common. When her father was still alive, he would occasionally lend money to fellow soldiers in need, and every year he would send money and gifts to the orphans of some fellow soldiers. Even now, she still does the same.
This time when hosting a dinner party, Jianshu learned a big lesson from New Year's Eve. She didn't dare to cook too much. She directly distributed the leftovers to her family members to take home. She didn't want to eat leftovers for a few more days.
After the guests were invited, the New Year was really over. Gu Mingjing returned to his previous routine, going out early and returning late every day. He was even very busy. Sometimes he even had lunch in the cafeteria and had no time to come back to eat.
Jianshu still stayed at home for the winter like before and was unwilling to go out easily. In addition, there was plenty of food at home, which made her even more reluctant to go out.
Such days continued until the end of winter, the arrival of spring, and the revival of all things.
