Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Sicui looked at Hu Yanqiu.

"sister in law!"

Hu Yanqiu looked at his sister-in-law's hesitant expression and understood what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "You and I should not get involved in what is going on between them."

Sicui said: "But it's not okay for my sister-in-law to continue like this. After all, we are mother and son...".

Hu Yanqiu interrupted Sicui and asked, "Is your brother a heartless person?"

Sicui shook her head quickly: "How is that possible? How can my brother be a heartless person? He is the best brother in the world."

Hu Yanqiu said with a smile: "You also know that Brother You is not a heartless person, so you should understand that there must be a reason why he chooses not to recognize each other. Not to mention that there is no barrier between mother and son. The same thing may have different results if it happens in different places at different times, let alone mother and child.

We don’t know what happened to your brother, so we don’t know how much damage he suffered at the time. What do you think we can do to persuade your brother?

When we persuade him, we are just putting things from our own imagination on him. We are not saying that they must do something, but we are telling him what we want him to do. This is the right thing to do.

But is it really correct? Who's right? Our right, what we think is right is right?

Definitely not!

So let’s not get involved in this kind of thing and leave it to your brother to solve it.”

"However, it has always been like this. What if the old man passes away one day and my brother regrets it again?" Sicui couldn't help but ask.

Hu Yanqiu smiled and reached out to touch Sicui's head: "There is no one in this world who has no regrets. No one can live a perfect life, so don't try to get into trouble, and you How do you know your brother will be sorry?

According to your idea, if we recognize each other, what if your brother regrets it? There is always a knot in my heart, but I still have to act like a loving mother and a filial son to others.

Do you think your brother can live happily with his temperament? "

Sicui listened and pondered for a long time. When she figured it out, she raised her head and said to her sister-in-law Hu Yanqiu: "Sister-in-law, I finally understand why my brother said that no woman in the world can compare with you."

"Huh? Your brother has said such things?"

Hu Yanqiu was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Yeah!" Sicui nodded and explained the situation at that time.

Hu Yanqiu smiled and said, "Your brother, it's not that he doesn't like beautiful women. To be honest, he is just afraid of trouble."

Sicui was a little confused after hearing this: "What's the trouble?"

Hu Yanqiu said: "You are still young. You will understand when you grow up."

Hu Yanqiu didn't want to explain things between men and women to his sister-in-law. Yes, most men would play tricks when they were rich, and Gu Siwei had not caused any trouble so far. It did not mean that Gu Siwei had a noble character or something. Yes, but he has seen through something, and his attention is not on it. In short, it is very troublesome to explain.

"Come on, follow me to find something."

Hu Yanqiu didn't want to talk about this anymore with his sister-in-law, so he pulled his sister-in-law out of the house.

Sicui asked: "What are you going to do?"

Hu Yanqiu said with a smile: "If someone brings something to us, it would be rude if we don't return the gift. I'll ask a few boys to write something to the old lady later. Just write whatever they want and treat it as a greeting." .

Only then did Sicui remember, so she happily picked up the gifts with her sister-in-law Hu Yanqiu. Almost an hour later, the gifts were ready. Hu Yanqiu packed them up and did not ask Gu Siwei to deliver them, but took them with him himself. Sister-in-law Sicui came directly to Zhuangzi, handed this thing to Guo Shengshui, and asked him to help send it to the factory town.

The rest is simple, everyone can just wait eagerly for the New Year.

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and Gu Siwei's house became lively. In addition to Gu Siwei's family, there were also two elderly people, Tao Yisheng and Zheng Youcai.

In the early morning, Tao Yisheng began to write couplets, while Zheng Youcai and Gu Siwei began to paste the couplets, while Hu Yanqiu and Sicui began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

Needless to say, Tao Yisheng's calligraphy skills are better than those printed by Gu Siwei, who spent money to buy them on the street decades later. Moreover, the old man did not follow the same rules when writing Spring Festival couplets. For books, just pick up the brush and start writing.

He has a solid foundation in classical Chinese, so for him, writing Spring Festival couplets is actually just waiting for improvisation.

"Here, take it!"

After finishing one piece of writing, Tao Yisheng shouted at Gu Siwei before starting to write the second piece.

"Grind your ink well and don't look around."

The old man was about to put pen to paper when he found that the boy Zhong Lin who was polishing his black hair was a little absent-minded, so he flicked his little head to remind him to pay attention.

This little guy suddenly became energetic, and his hand that was grinding ink became much faster.

"What are you doing? Want to play there?"

Soon the boy lost his concentration again. Tao Yisheng knew that the boy was playful, so he asked.

Seeing Zhong Lin nodded, he said fondly: "That's okay, go ahead! I can just grind the ink myself."

After hearing this, Zhong Lin quickly put down the ink in his hand and bowed to Tao Yisheng: "Then I'll go play."

"Go, go, there are so many gifts during the Chinese New Year," Tao Yisheng said with a smile.

After watching the little kid go off to play with his brothers, Tao Yisheng withdrew his eyes from the child, licked the ink, and then continued to conceive of the next couplet.

Gu Siwei and Zheng Youcai had a dispute at this moment, and they had differences on the quality of the couplet. However, the two of them did not quarrel, they were just talking nonsense together. Fortunately, no one paid attention to these two people.

Gu Siwei's family is like this, and almost every household in the Sixth Team is like this. Every family is writing couplets, and every family is preparing New Year's Eve dinner. The whole village is filled with the aroma of meat, coriander, and even the dogs in the village. All with joy.

After putting up the couplets, window grilles, and door hangings, some people don’t seem to know this thing. It’s a row of red paper tassels on the door. Coupled with the couplets, it makes the door of the home look more festive.

The lunch meal at noon is relatively simple. For example, Gu Siwei's family eats very casually, and there is nothing serious. Everyone sits down and has a good meal. Anyone who is hungry eats, and there is something cooked in the pot. The warm big-bone stick soup and the fish fried in the first two days. As for the fried cakes and various kinds of dumplings, it goes without saying that Gu Siwei's family will not be short of these things.

So, you can just take whatever you want to eat with the soup. For example, children almost don’t use the soup. They just grab the cold dumplings and put them in their mouths and eat them directly. At this time, no one says oh, it’s too cool. Bad stomach or something.

Anyway, it’s all random.

Gu Siwei was beaming with joy, but in the capital, the home of You Keming's family seemed a bit deserted. His adopted daughter was already married, so he would definitely spend the holidays at his father-in-law's house, and his father-in-law was not an unknown person either. His status is stronger than that of You Keming.

And You Keming's work unit has a holiday in the afternoon, and You Keming can't stay in the office, because if she stays in the office, others won't be able to get off work, and others are not like her. It doesn't matter if she can't celebrate the New Year alone. They are all dragging their families with them. If we don’t let them go back to celebrate the New Year at this time, wouldn’t that be scolding?

Even if you are usually strict with the comrades around you, when is today? Isn’t it being heartless to cause trouble at this time?

So every year at this time, You Keming would put down his work and return home early.

What she said was early was actually not early at all. It was already past three in the afternoon.

When You Keming returned home, she felt that she was not happy anywhere. Although she had a life secretary and a nanny at home, and the nanny was her distant niece, she still felt a little uncomfortable in this house, especially in this place. When families are reunited.

The old lady was a little irritated, but she walked around the room twice and saw the row of photos on her table, and her mood immediately improved.

The old lady sat back on the chair in her study with a loving look on her face, and gently picked up the photo frame next to her. While looking at it, she gently stroked the smiling baby face on it with her hand.

After reading this one, she moved on to the next one, and she felt that she felt better with each picture she read.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"

You Keming frowned slightly. She could tell that her niece's voice was a bit impatient and careless, and she didn't have the temperament of a lady at all. You Keming didn't like it very much, but she thought of the Chinese New Year today, so she suppressed it and gave it to her nephew. The thought of doing ideological education.

"What's up?"

"Sister-in-law, someone has brought something."

"Didn't I tell you that you can't take things from others?" You Keming was really annoyed.

"Sister-in-law, it came from Shimo Village in Jiang'an. The people who came to deliver it said they didn't stop all the way to deliver it..."

As soon as he heard that it was Shimo Village in Jiang'an, You Keming immediately stood up and almost knocked over his chair. At this time, You Keming didn't mention anything about being a lady.

"What did you say?" You Keming asked, his voice trembling a little.

"The Shimo Village in Jiang'an has sent something."

You Keming heard clearly at this time, opened the study door and walked out: "Hurry and bring it in."

The niece looked curious, but she was really afraid of this distant aunt, so she quickly turned around and asked the security comrades to move the things they sent to You Keming's house.

There were several packages of things, weighing about one or two hundred kilograms, and there was a note on them, which said what was given.

The handwriting is very delicate, but it still has a dash of heroism. You Keming knows that it was written by his daughter-in-law herself.

There was nothing valuable on the list, such as sauerkraut pickled at home, dried persimmons, and some fruits stored at home.

Scattered, what makes You Keming the most happy is that in addition to these, there are also letters written by several grandchildren. The handwriting is crooked, they look like grandma or something, and they also say very ridiculous things. But You Keming looked at it with a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Seeing these things, You Keming's mood instantly improved, and he shouted outside: "Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, let's get ready, let's celebrate the New Year happily!"

The niece Xiaoyan outside heard this and immediately responded happily: "Okay!"

In an instant, the deserted courtyard suddenly came to life.
