Chapter 180

At noon on December 28, our family finally arrived at our hometown in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, where my favorite parents lived.

Because of the advance notice, my father stood at the door waiting for us. He was wearing a thick cotton coat and a cotton hat like an old cadre. The hot air turned into white water vapor in the cold air, which could be seen from afar.

Together with him, uncle song must have come to pick up Song Yu.

"Thank you very much this time, Xiao Wan, otherwise the child would not listen to me at all." Uncle Song said.

"You're very kind, uncle song. It's just a little help." I answered.

Huo Qingchuan said hello to his father and then came to me. Uncle song looked him up and down, and then reached out and patted Huo Qingchuan on the shoulder. "This is Huo's son-in-law. He's really a talented man. He's really a match for our little night!"

Although he is an old friend with my father, uncle song's character is frank and kind-hearted. For Huo Qingchuan who met for the first time, it is estimated that he is treated as a family.

Huo Qingchuan obviously does not adapt to this way of greeting, but due to politeness, he still talks to Uncle song with a smile.

At this time, Song Yu came down from the car and came to us.

"Dad, why are you here?" Asked Song Yu.

"Boy," Uncle song patted Song Yu again, "if I don't come, will you go home obediently?"

Song Yu said with a smile, "I'm all back. How can I not go home?" Then he nodded to my father and asked, "Hello, uncle Chi."

"Everyone is here. Let's not stand outside and go home." Father put down Yan Yan, still holding her hand, greeting everyone.

Each put out the things in the car, and we went home happily.

Sure enough, my mother was preparing for a big reception. I took off my coat and went into the kitchen with her.

Many people and high efficiency. Before noon, the big eight immortals table will be full.

In my memory, our family has never been so busy. The big and the small are included. Today, there are seven people eating together. It can be seen that both parents are very happy and keep Huo Qingchuan and Song Yu eating more.

The feeling of reunion is good. It would be better if Chi Xin came back.

It's a pity, but it can't be mentioned in this atmosphere.

After lunch, uncle song and Song Yu went back together. I helped my mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

"I heard that your parents went on a tour?" My mother chatted with me while she was brushing the pot.

"Well," I nodded and ironed the cup with hot water, "it's said that I can't come back until the fifth or sixth day of the lunar new year. It's good to travel during the Chinese New Year."

"No," said the mother with a smile, "so you can go home for the new year. I really want to thank the parents in law."

Parents are inevitably a little selfish. Who doesn't want their children around? At this point, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are really considerate.

"Oh, yes," said his mother, "I think Xiao Huo's legs seem to be much better. Can you walk with that kind of crutch now?"

"Well, he's recovering well." I have the right to speak on this point. After all, I have my share of credit in it. "I give him a massage every day. I'm sorry if I don't get better soon."

"This child," the mother said with a smile, "but look at you two, I and your father will be relieved."

"Mom, don't always worry about our affairs. We are all adults. Now that I am married, everything is developing in a better direction. Just stay at home and enjoy your life." I said.

"That's right, but when parents, where can they not worry about their children?" The mother wiped her hands with a towel. "Your father and I have nothing to worry about now, but your sister

Mention Chi Xin, mother's tone also low down“ You say where the child is now and why he doesn't call home during the Spring Festival. It's very urgent. "

Looking at my mother, I feel guilty. I promised them to bring Chi Xin back, but now I don't know where she is.

"Mom," but I can't say anything, can only try to comfort the old man, "you can rest assured, Xiaoxin also grew up, she must be because of other things, so she didn't contact home."

"I hope so. As long as she lives well and keeps in touch with her family, we won't blame her." Mother sighed.

Later, I gave the gifts we brought back to my parents, and they were very happy.

Life at home is very leisurely, as if in the blink of an eye, new year's Eve is coming.

On New Year's Eve, every household should paste Spring Festival couplets. Early in the morning, Yan Yan excitedly revolves around her grandfather, and her attention is attracted by the red couplets and Fu characters in her father's hands.

Seeing that she was so enthusiastic and claimed to be a little helper of her grandfather, we people would not argue with her.

It's our tradition to have a good lunch on New Year's Eve. Although there are only five people, my mother and I still prepared a table of dishes. Huo Qingchuan opened Louis XIII, who had been brought back from abroad, and poured a cup for his father.

The father picked up the glass and smelled it, showing a surprised expression, "this wine is good, although I don't know foreign wine, but this should be very expensive."

Huo Qingchuan said with a smile, "Dad, don't mind. This is specially given to me by my friend. Would you like to try it first?" With that, he took up his wine glass and tried to clink it with his father.

The sound and crispness of the wine glass collision, gently sipped, father smacked his mouth, began to discuss wine with his son-in-law.

When two men drink, we women don't mix. My mother and I chat about some trifles and pick delicious dishes for the youngest princess.

New year's Eve in all people's expectations quietly, from 3 p.m. dumplings have been under the pot, one by one fat in boiling water rolling.

As night falls, there are colorful fireworks blooming in the night sky, which is very eye-catching.

Huo Qingchuan leads Yan Yan to look at the fireworks in the window. While they are watching, they point at each other. Yan Yan looks very excited.

After eating dumplings, of course, the whole family get together to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The lively melody starts, and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala begins.

In fact, for people of our age, the Spring Festival Gala is no longer so attractive. We just regard it as a happy background and what we should do.

I remember what Xia Yi said to me that day, so I took my mobile phone and opened wechat.

There are already fried pots inside, early New Year's greetings, red envelopes and photos of delicious food. In a word, it's very noisy and joyful.

I think of Xia Yi's words, while watching TV, while sending red envelopes in the group.

Zhao Benshan's sketch on the Spring Festival Gala amused my parents for a while. I just looked at the time. Unconsciously, it was more than ten o'clock.

Yan Yan is still a child, can't stay up much night, at this time has been in Huo Qingchuan's arms to sleep in the past.

I finally went home to spend the new year with my parents. I was determined to stay with them. I quietly approached Huo Qingchuan and whispered in his ear, "if you are sleepy, go back to your room first. You don't have to be here with us."

"How can that work?" Huo Qingchuan said, "we are not a family. We should keep the new year together."

In a short period of two days, Huo Qingchuan has established a good relationship with his parents.

His words were heard by his father. He looked at us, and his face was still smiling from the sketch. "If you can't wait, go to sleep."

"We're not sleepy." Huo Qingchuan said.

The mother got up and came over, "the child is asleep. I'll take her to the room first, so as not to disturb her." Since coming back, Yan Yan has been sleeping with her grandfather and grandmother every night. For this reason, Huo Qingchuan has discussed with me several times.

As the clock of the new year is about to ring, we all pay New Year's greetings to each other and express our sincere wishes.

Under the countdown of the host and the audience, the new year's bell finally rang, and the whole country was boiling and prosperous.

"Happy new year, mom and Dad!" I still feel that Huo Qingchuan has been the first to pay New Year's respects to our parents.

How can I do this? In previous years, I always paid new year's greetings to my parents first. Even Chi Xin never beat me, but now an outsider took the lead.

But now is not the time to care about these, blessing is not in order.

"Happy new year, mom and Dad!" I said.

Parents face a bright smile, it is even more than the dazzling stage on TV people happy.

After talking and laughing with our parents for a while, we went back to the house.

After simply cleaning up, Huo Qingchuan and I lay on the bed.

I've been thinking about a problem since just now, but I'm a little uncertain.

"Do you think it's day time in Europe?" Even if the light was turned off, the room was still illuminated by the fireworks outside. I leaned against Huo Qingchuan and asked him gently.

"It doesn't have to be that big, Europe." Huo Qingchuan said, "why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Listen to his tone, he knows what I want to do.

"I want to give new year's greetings to your parents, too." I said frankly, "they are all elders. Now we live together with my parents and we have been here for years. If we don't show any respect to my parents-in-law, I don't think it's appropriate."

Huo Qingchuan smiles and prints a kiss on my forehead. "I'm really sorry that you still have this heart. I just contacted my parents. They are now in Porto, Portugal, where the time is seven hours later than us. That is to say, it should be about seven o'clock in the evening. They have just finished a day's journey, and now they are resting in the hotel."

"When did you contact me? Why didn't you tell me?" I thought of a problem and propped up my upper body.

"Why should I tell you," Huo Qingchuan said in a bad way, "when I am a son, I must pay New Year's greetings to my parents. If you are a daughter-in-law, it's best to be self-conscious."

"What..." I turned my mouth. Of course, Huo Qingchuan could not see it in the dark. "So you are testing me."

"It's not a trial," Huo Qingchuan touched my hair. "I don't want to embarrass you."

Later, I called my mother-in-law who was far away in Europe to pay a new year's visit, and I changed my voice to "Mom and Dad". I heard that my father-in-law and mother-in-law were very happy.
