Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

This elaborate decoration not only fills every corner of the house with laughter, but also adds a touch of extraordinary joy to these ordinary days.

Zhang Laoer specially took out a bright red lantern-style hairband from the bottom of the drawer. The fine golden silk threads on the hairband shone with warm light in the sun. He carefully and gently tied two lively pigtails for his daughter Xiao Youniang. Every movement revealed a father's deep love for his children.

Wearing this rare and beautiful new dress sewn by her mother Xu Liyun, the little girl's eyes sparkled with indescribable joy. The pink hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, making her look lively and charming.

All day long, she was like a happy little bird, following closely in her parents' footsteps to go out and pay New Year's greetings, with a bright smile on her face that could melt the winter snow.

Whenever she met an elder or playmate in the village, she would raise her little face and say: "Happy New Year!"

Such innocence made everyone who heard it couldn't help but smile. They took out a few candies of different colors from their pockets and carefully stuffed them into her pockets which were slightly bulging with excitement.

Every member of the Zhang family changed into new clothes today. Xu Liyun, who was usually simple and frugal, was no exception. She deliberately put on a hairpin that she seldom wore. It was finely carved and inlaid with elegant pearls, which made her look particularly gentle and dignified, adding a bit of imperceptible charm.

The family walked in an orderly manner on the small path in the village. Their figures were particularly eye-catching in the eyes of the villagers, attracting countless secret admirations and envy.

Once upon a time, the life of the second house was hard. The family members were thin and their clothes were always patched. But now it is different. Their bodies are gradually becoming plumper, and they are wearing new clothes. Everyone seems to have been reborn.

Especially Zhang Laoer and Xu Liyun, both of whom were well-dressed and had outstanding temperament. They had completely shed the simplicity of country life, and their every move revealed the demeanor of wealthy city people.

As for Xiao Youniang, her little body, which used to look a little dirty and thin due to malnutrition, now looks like the chubby and cute boy in the New Year pictures. The innocence and beauty of her rosy face made the women in the village who were unable to give birth to daughters feel pity for her and they couldn't help but give her more delicious homemade snacks.

After a round of New Year greetings, Xiao Youniang's small cloth bag embroidered with delicate patterns was filled to the brim with the enthusiasm of the villagers, as if it was filled with the blessings and love of the entire village for her.

When the whole family gathered in the Zhang family's old house, preparing for the second and third rooms to greet their father together, Zhang Liuwa stood quietly aside, his eyes unconsciously falling on Xiao Youniang's bulging cloth bag. He couldn't help but make a slight swallowing sound in his throat, but there was still a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

Although Xiao Youniang is still young, she has a memory beyond her age when it comes to Zhang Liuwa's past naughty behavior.

She clearly remembered that brother Liuwa liked to pull her braids and jokingly called her "little burden".

Although Liuwa seems to have restrained himself recently, Xiao Youniang is not in a hurry to show her tolerance and understanding.

So when everyone sat together in the yard, she took the initiative to play the role of sharer, handing the food in the cloth bag to her brothers and sisters around her one by one, but cleverly avoided Zhang Liuwa.

This action expressed his little emotions calmly but accurately.

Zhang Liuwa naturally felt unhappy, with a nameless anger brewing in his chest, but in front of Wu Niang Xu Liyun, he learned to restrain and forbear, and never dared to touch You Niang's things easily again. On the one hand, this change came from his fear of Wu Niang's strict discipline, and on the other hand, it was a desire hidden deep in his heart - he hoped to gain Wu Niang's recognition, become her disciple, and learn the real kung fu that people longed for!

The world of children is full of simple and direct joys and minor frictions, while the world of adults is more complex and changeable, and behind everyone's actions are their own considerations and plans.

Zhang Laosan originally planned to avoid the old house during this New Year and continue his independent life. However, Li Guifen had been thinking about it for a long time.

She knew very well that although there was an unspeakable gap between her and her parents-in-law, especially the past events of Zhang Erniang which always seemed like a thorn in her heart, Zhang Fu was still her husband's father and the grandfather of her children.

Looking back, apart from that unpleasant incident, the old couple were quite nice to them at other times.

If you don't even visit your parents during a family reunion like the Chinese New Year, it will not only be embarrassing, but will also cause your children to be criticized and excluded in their future interpersonal relationships.

Like Xu Liyun, she had long been accustomed to living with the reputation of being unfilial. Ever since the family split up, that hat seemed to have been permanently put on her head.

However, Zhang Erniang has suffered too much. The unbearable experience of being sold has kept her reputation at the center of controversy. Her children are growing up and her marriage is approaching. If her image is damaged again because of her reputation of disrespecting elders, how could any good relative be willing to propose marriage to her in the future?

Although Li Guifen was extremely dissatisfied and helpless, she chose to put aside her personal grudges out of consideration for the future of her family. After discussing with Xu Liyun, she resolutely led her family to the gate of the old house.

Members of the two families, carrying heavy packages in their hands, stepped into the threshold with slightly staggering steps. The packages contained only some simple items that can be seen in daily life.

A few baskets of eggs with the hens' body temperature and dried vegetables that will not go bad during the winter are ordinary and inconspicuous, but they carry the love for loved ones.

However, as soon as she stepped into the house, Mrs. Zhang did not ask her two sons about their daily lives as usual. Instead, she couldn't wait to lock her eyes on the simple gift in their hands, snatched it away, and looked at it carefully, completely ignoring the greetings and smiles from her children and grandchildren around her.

Her eyes quickly swept over those ordinary things until they stopped on the eggs sent by the second wife. Her furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but then dissatisfaction appeared again.

"You think you can show off just this little? Don't you know that my nephew is studying hard for the national exam and needs to catch up?"

There was a hint of disappointment in the old lady's voice of reproach. As she spoke, she deliberately avoided Xu Liyun's gentle yet all-seeing eyes, and instead vented her dissatisfaction to her son.

Zhang Laoer heard this, a trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across his face, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Mother, do you think the gifts we gave you are too shabby? Alas, I am a useless son, and I can't earn anything valuable all year round. If you are not satisfied, I will take it back now, so that it won't be an eyesore."
