Yes, one by one, there are too many houses.
In his mother-in-law's words, "This guy, how long does it take to put up the couplets? Your aunt makes a pot of paste and spends the whole morning putting it up."
Everyone in the Bi family's courtyard toasted no longer to wish each other a good income in the new year, but to express their gratitude for everyone's good health. They were also grateful for being together this year, and even Chu Yifeng was home, which was a rare achievement.
When making dumplings together, the two little fat kids insisted on kneading the dough. They kneaded it into a mess, but they actually put it in the pot to cook. After each family member had one, there were still a lot of dough left.
After Fu Juan secretly called her father, she lay on the kang and asked the two children with a smile: "Why don't you eat the rest? Didn't you knead all of it?"
Let’s watch the Spring Festival Gala together again.
Even the Bi family members carefully checked the TV, for fear of missing any shot and not seeing Wang Xintong.
Chu Yifeng, his handsome face flushed from drinking, searched for his nephew with his camera, ready to snap a picture the moment he appeared on TV. And behold, he recognized him instantly. The boy was fat, a little different from the children in front of him, standing in the last row of the chorus.
The Bi family was in an uproar. A child this young was already on TV? He was on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and everyone praised him for his promising future.
Bi Jinzhi hugged Xiaoxi and said, "When our children grow up, won't we be able to go to school right away?"
Then someone named Bao Nana came on stage and sang "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Miles".
Liu Yafang pointed at the evening gown and said, "What kind of dress is this? It's showing shoulders and hair. If you want to sing, then sing. Why are you twisting your hips?"
Bi Yue glanced at her and smiled. The evening gown wasn't revealing much, was it? In later generations, people would have wanted to show off half of their big breasts, fearing they wouldn't attract attention.
This song "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Miles" quickly captured the hearts of young people like a fire in last winter.
Bi Cheng listened to the first two lines and began humming along. Bi Tielin sang along as he had done last year, feeling that every line touched his heart. However, the effect wasn't applause, but it did make the two children laugh.
Chu Yifeng even whispered to Bi Yue, "My uncle really likes to sing, but he's always out of tune."
This year's New Year was a lively occasion, with the wine table never cleared. Chu Yifeng was so drunk that he rubbed his face frequently, as if he could not bear it any longer. He lay on the kang and let his daughter and son step on his face with their feet.
Bi Yue was also a little excited from drinking. Standing in the yard, listening to the sound of firecrackers from every household and looking at the fireworks, he patted Bi Cheng, who was also drunk, and said, "Dacheng..." As soon as the two words came out of his mouth, he quickly paused, cleared his throat, and then said:
"Anyway, you just need to work with me for another two years, which will be stable. After that, I will send you abroad for further studies, so that you can systematically learn how to be a manager."
Bi Cheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and glared at his sister: "Where are you going?"
"England or America, okay?"
"Sister, is there anything you can do? Why are you being so polite?"
Bi Yue felt that she was excited because, over the years, she had always hit her brother wherever she pointed him. Good or bad, he took all the responsibility.
He believed in her more than his parents and Chu Yifeng.
Wang Qingtian was unhappy eating dumplings at midnight. Her mother kept nagging her:
"Is the Bi family something that ordinary people can marry into? If you go out and tell your neighbors that you know the Bi family, they won't believe you.
But we know it ourselves, don't we? You were clearly able to get close to him before, and I could tell that Bi Cheng had a crush on you, but you, on the other hand, always gave him the cold shoulder whenever we met.
Bi Cheng is a simple and honest man. How many times has he helped our family? He never asks for credit, doesn't ask for favors, and doesn't even ask for a thank you. As soon as he got the news, how many times did he send his classmate to our store?
He also left me his phone number and told me to call him if anyone caused trouble. Was it me? Bicheng was targeting you.
Don't fool me into saying it's about his sister.
"Oh, I really don't know what you're thinking. You say he has a big family, but we're just the two of us, with no one to rely on if anything happens. Qingtian, if you miss a guy like that, you'll never meet him again!"
"Mom, I'm older than Bi Cheng. Besides, please don't mention him anymore. We are worlds apart now. I never thought about it before, and I don't dare to think about it in the future. I'm just lucky to have met him. You also know that it's marrying up, so let's not think about it, okay?"
…
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the couple had to go home whether they wanted to or not, and they didn't take their children with them. The two babies played until late at night and were still sleeping.
Chu Yifeng walked into the yard and looked back at the house where his daughter and son lived.
Bi Tiegang looked reluctant to leave: "Yifeng, be careful when you drive back. If you pass by somewhere, sleep overnight and get enough rest before continuing on your journey. Call home frequently when you return to the army."
Bi Tiegang thought that if his son-in-law came back, he would only stay for ten days or so. But he suddenly took a long vacation. He could see him all the time, and it would be hard to get used to him leaving at will.
"I understand, Dad. Now that I'm gone, you and Mom will have to help take care of the kids. Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Yafang put a bag of food in the car, smoothed down her pants, and said, "Why do you have to work so hard for your own child? Okay, go back and take care of it with your parents, and let them come visit when they're done."
The young couple returned to the Chu family and said goodbye to their family members one by one.
Before leaving, Chu Yifeng closed the bedroom door, hugged Bi Yue and said reluctantly:
"Will you miss me when I'm gone? Can you cry?"
Bi Yue suppressed her sadness and said nonchalantly, "Just go. I can't do anything when I'm here anyway, and you're useless at home. You're making me angry."
Chu Yifeng hugged her and fell on the bed, tickling Bi Yue's armpits: "Say one more thing? Tell me, do you miss me?"
Bi Yue laughed so hard that tears came out, and her hair was messy when she was helped up: "Huh, then I won't leave if I say I miss you?"
