hand in hand rebirth

"Crackling, crackling, crackling..."

Before zero o'clock, there was already a lot of firecrackers in the imperial city, and the gorgeous fireworks set off the entire night sky as bright as day. This time of the year is the busiest time for the entire imperial city and the entire Huaguo.

Gu Yuan accompanied Huang Yujue and Gu Qiansheng to watch the party in the living room. The most popular skit program had already begun. Huang Yujue and Gu Qiansheng watched intently. He took out his vibrating mobile phone by hiding in the toilet as an excuse.

"Xiaoyuan, what are you doing?" Wang Chongshan's smiling voice came from next to his ear.

"Watch the party with my parents. Are you not busy? Why do you have time to call me?"

"I'm at home and just finished dinner. Now I'm setting off fireworks with the little ones."

"Yeah." Gu Yuan listened carefully with his ears sideways, and the indistinct laughter of children came from the other end of the phone. Wang Chongshan led the children to set off fireworks. Thinking of that scene, Gu Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Xiaoyuan, is there nothing you want to tell me?"

Gu Yuan thought carefully for a while, "Then, Happy New Year?"

"You!" The other end of the phone laughed dumbly. Gu Yuan could detect that person's smile through the phone. coming voice,

"Happy New Year!"

Gu Yuan was stunned for a short sentence, what he said next, and why he hung up the phone has no memory at all.

There was a loud noise in the sky, and a huge firework bloomed in the night sky, jolting Gu Yuan, who had no idea where his soul had gone, to wake up.

He opened the address book in the phone, and flicked his finger back and forth on Lai Xiaobai's name, but he didn't have the courage to press it, and he tossed and turned in his mind whether Lai Xiaobai would answer his call.

Gu Yuan struggled for a long time, but still typed a text message, pressed the send button, and thought carefully, if he didn't want to answer the call, then the text message to wish him a new year would not be considered as an active contact.

"Mom and Dad, Happy New Year!" Gu Yuan yawned and sat down at the dining table. Yesterday the family watched the New Year's Eve until the early hours of the morning, and Huang Yujue dug him out of the bed early this morning. His brain is still dizzy. heavy.

"Happy New Year!" Huang Yujue hugged his obedient son, and brought a plate of dumplings from the kitchen to Gu Yuan. According to the old rules of the Gu family, the first meal of the new year must be big dumplings made by Huang Yujue himself.

Gu Yuan picked up the chopsticks and eagerly picked one up and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully and swallowed it, narrowed his eyes contentedly, picked up another one and stuffed it into his mouth, enjoying himself.

These dumplings were made one by one by Huang Yujue himself last night. The whole family loves to eat the stuffed corn, shiitake mushrooms and shrimps. A child’s fist is as big as a child’s. Can't stop.

Gu Qiansheng sat at the other end and read the newspaper, the dinner plate in front of him was already empty.His eyes were fixed on the newspaper, but there was a sneaky smile on the corner of his mouth. He has been busy with work for a whole year, and only during the Spring Festival two days can he really have time to spend time with his wife and children.

Gu Yuan finished eating the whole plate of dumplings with a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair contentedly, patted his swollen belly, and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was exactly 07:30.

"Dad, don't you go out?" Gu Yuan pointed to the center on the wall.

This time of year is the busiest time for Gu Qiansheng's human relationship activities. There are always inexplicable twists and turns in government departments, and human relationship is also a must-do homework.Often a short vacation will take several days just to visit the leaders and entertain visiting colleagues, which is no less leisurely than working time.

"No, I'll stay at home with you today." Gu Qiansheng leisurely flipped through a page of the newspaper and read it, feeling very proud.

This year (you know) the central government advocates the establishment of a clean government. Government officials from top to bottom all behave honestly this year with their tails between their legs, and the behavior of paying New Year greetings to superiors and even colleagues is undoubtedly very suspicious.This year, the leaders, big and small, have already greeted them in advance. It is good to use phone and text messages for New Year's greetings, and people don't want to go there.

Naturally, Gu Qiansheng was also happy to have a leisurely time. He was the most impatient with these social interactions, and most of the time he had to bite the bullet.

Huang Yujue cleaned up the dishes two or three times, and seeing that Gu Yuan was still sitting on the chair, he stretched out his hand and pinched him on the back, "Hurry up and change your clothes, your uncle and the others should be here soon, you Just meet them in their pajamas?"

Gu Yuan scratched his head with a dry smile, stood up and ran into the room.Just kidding, he is now wearing a cow-spotted pajamas that echoes Huang Yujue's bad taste, and if he appears in front of his gentle and gentle uncle who is as gentle as a gentleman, then he might as well be smashed to death.

After just a while, Gu Yuan changed his clothes and came out.A large sweater with white letters, the collar of the shirt turned out from the inside, khaki pants, and a pair of exquisitely crafted calfskin shoes, which are both lively and stable for young people.Seeing that Huang Yujue nodded repeatedly, his son was handsome no matter how he dressed.

Huang Yujue took Gu Yuan's hand and carefully told Gu Yuan how not to be rude when he saw his uncle and aunt later, and how to get along with Huang Shoushen and Huang Wenting...

This was the first time in Gu Yuan's impression that his uncle's family came to visit, so Huang Yujue's nervousness was naturally understandable to him.Huang Yujue was allowed to ramble on a lot, but he listened with a smile and nodded his head from time to time.

Time passed in a constant cycle where Huang Yujue wiped the already clean table from time to time, tidied up the decorations, and then rushed to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

The doorbell rang briskly, Huang Yujue was shocked, Gu Qian patted the back of her hand comfortingly, Gu Yuan had already ran to open the door excitedly.

There were four people standing at the door, all well-dressed and with good temperament.

"Uncle, Aunt, Brother Shen, Wen Ting, Happy New Year, come in quickly!" Although he hadn't seen them for many years, Gu Yuan recognized them at a glance and welcomed them in with a smile.

Under Gu Qiansheng's comfort, Huang Yujue had restrained her excitement, and when she saw Huang Jihao's family coming in, she warmly greeted her.

Huang Jihao first looked his sister up and down to make sure he hadn't suffered any grievances, then smiled and hugged Gu Qiansheng to say hello.Chen Ying, who was standing beside him, held Huang Yujue's hand with a smile on her face. First, she praised the other party's good looks, and then pulled Huang Shoushen and Huang Wenting to ask them to call someone. Naturally, Huang Yujue also asked Gu Yuan to go over. Everyone was lively After greeting each other for a long time, I sat down on the sofa.

Gu Yuan sat across from Huang Jihao, secretly looking at the man opposite.Although he is over 40 years old, his figure is still tall and straight, without any signs of middle age.His handsome appearance is still the demeanor that fascinated countless girls when he was a teenager. The fine lines at the corners of his eyes did not detract from his charm at all, but added to him a charming sense of vicissitudes.

Huang Jihao and Gu Qiansheng chatted about some recent rumors and policy trends, and the two talked freely and speculatively.Although Huang Yujue didn't have a deep relationship with Chen Ying, she wasn't interested in what the men were chatting with. Coupled with Chen Ying's joking, the two naturally chatted about children.

"...Shou Shen received a full scholarship from the University of K in the United States. If there is no accident, he would have to study there for a master's and doctor's degree. It is Tingting who still makes me worry. She is only a freshman in high school, and she can't get into the top five of her year. "Although Chen Ying tried her best to conceal her complacency, there was still a lot of complacency in her tone.

Huang Wenting, who was sitting next to Gu Yuan, curled her lips, her tone was full of impatience, "Mom, haven't you been divided into subjects yet? I will definitely give you the first place when the subjects are finished."

"You child, why are you interrupting what adults are talking about?" Chen Ying reprimanded her half-truthfully.

"K University is a famous international school. It's really amazing that Shoushen can get a full scholarship to study. You can't be too strict with Tingting. There are so many good students in Wucheng Middle School. When I was studying, my brother and I might not be able to do it. There are top five." Huang Yujue still loves her brother's children very much, and she is naturally happy to see them have good grades, and doesn't pay attention to the show off in Chen Ying's words.

Chen Ying smiled and agreed, but she didn't take it seriously. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Gu Yuan didn't show any surprise when he heard about Huang Shoushen and Huang Wenting's good grades. Assuming that Gu Yuan was a hard-working player, it was inevitable that he would despise him a bit.

"Where's your family, Gu Yuan? His grades must be good too." Chen Ying asked with concern as she took Huang Yujue's hand.

Hearing Chen Ying's question, Huang Wenting tried her best not to laugh, and Huang Shoushen's face was a little more embarrassed.They both got along with Gu Yuan when they were young, and Gu Yuan's grades at that time were sometimes not as good as Huang Wenting, who was one year younger than him. Chen Ying's question, in their opinion, undoubtedly touched Gu Yuan's pain.

Huang Shoushen looked at Gu Yuan hesitantly, trying to express his apology with his eyes, but found that Gu Yuan lowered his head, as if he didn't hear what Chen Ying said just now.

Huang Yujue withdrew the hand held by Chen Ying with a calm expression, "He didn't work hard before, so his grades were naturally not on the table, but now he is finally willing to get the hang of it, and at least he got the first place in the exam a few times."

"First?" Huang Wenting exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.

How difficult are the papers in No. [-] Middle School? Their teachers usually only take out the first few questions.With Huang Wenting's level, it will take a lot of effort and time to solve the last few questions.Their teachers also often said that the students in No. [-] Middle School can usually score as many points as possible for this kind of paper.Huang Wenting used to think that Gu Yuan's admission to the No. [-] Middle School was just due to a little luck and his father's relationship in the government, but unexpectedly...

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuan's grades were not inferior to others, Chen Ying quickly concealed her surprise, and praised with a smile: "You can still take the first place in the class in No. [-] Middle School, Xiao Yuan is so good!"

"It's not number one in class," Gu Yuan shook his head, looking at Chen Ying innocently, "It's number one in grade."

Huang Wenting bit her lip, and shot sharp eyes at Gu Yuan, trying to find traces of lying on his face, but Gu Yuan looked calm and did not avoid her gaze, he really didn't look like he was trying to pretend to be a lie.

"Ah, is that so? She's number one in the grade." Chen Ying whispered in a dazed voice. She wanted to show off, but the other party turned her back. It was still in the aspect of her children's education that she was most proud of. It was the first time for her to feel so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak.

Of course Huang Yujue didn't mind making the other party uncomfortable for a while, but since his brother was still by his side, no matter what, he couldn't make the scene too ugly.

She smiled and took Huang Wenting's hand who was sitting on the side, and pulled her to sit beside her, "Tingting is so big, I saw her as a little girl with a mushroom head, but now she is so beautiful Li, how to put it is your genes are good."

Huang Yujue praised Huang Wenting and flattered Chen Ying in two or three sentences. Hearing what she said, Chen Ying's expression recovered a bit, and she began to pick up Huang Yujue's words.

"How can this girl be as good as you praise, you don't know how much trouble she usually makes me!..."

Huang Wenting, who was pulled beside them, heard that Chen Ying was about to start talking about her glorious history again, her face was both ashamed and annoyed, as if she had lost all her face in front of this gentle and intellectual aunt.

Gu Yuan watched Huang Wenting's suffering with relish. He did not forget that this cousin's meanness to him did not disappear even before his death. Gu Yuan expressed that he was very happy to see her face so ashamed and angry.

Huang Shoushen, who was sitting next to him, saw that Gu Yuan was still expressionless (beautiful in his heart), thinking that he hadn't seen them for many years, and he intended to re-establish a good relationship with this little cousin he had always liked.

He lightly touched Gu Yuan's waist with his elbow, and when Gu Yuan looked over in confusion, he smiled and said to Gu Yuan, "It's almost the third year of high school, studying must be very hard."

Gu Yuan has a good impression of this cousin who looks exactly like his uncle and took good care of him when he was young, so he has to be careful when talking to him.Hearing his question, I thought about it seriously, "Actually, it's not hard work, and I get used to it after doing a lot, that is, those who read, write, write and memorize."

Huang Shoushen nodded in agreement, "You're right, those who complain about being tired are not really serious. Once they work hard, how can they feel tired?"

Gu Yuan and Huang Shoushen looked at each other, with a feeling of sympathy as if a school bully meets a school bully.Although Huang Shoushen is already a college student, after all, he passed the college entrance examination and achieved a brilliant victory. The experience he provided Gu Yuan naturally has a lot to learn from. Gu Yuan looked serious and nodded frequently.

Huang Yujue at the other end chatted with Chen Ying about women's maintenance, and Huang Wenting naturally participated actively.

The doorbell rang again, and Gu Yuan looked over suspiciously. According to the management, Gu Qiongyan's family should come tomorrow. Gu Qiansheng also said that no colleagues and subordinates will come to pay New Year's greetings this year, so who will come?
