"Would you like some fruit?" Guo Xiang asked Guo er.
"Good!" Guo'er went to get a small bowl. "The dumplings made by my mother are delicious. We ate them at noon. They are filled with pork, Xiangru and pork and cabbage."
"Mother didn't seem to have made dumplings before?" Guo Xiang asked while eating dumplings.
Southerners don't have the habit of eating dumplings for the new year.
"I used to be poor. Where did I have money to buy meat?" Wang Guiying smiled and said, "this is what I learned from people when I went out to work. In the past, the family was poor and couldn't eat. Your grandmother and they were partial to your uncle's family. Your father and I went out to do chores. "
"People who cut mountains, build canals, dig wells and travel far and wide met many Northerners. They learned it at that time. But I haven't wrapped it a few times since I came back. "
Gu Zhennan was a little stunned and lowered his head to eat dumplings.
"Mother went out to work so early? Very fashionable! " Guo Xiang joked.
"What kind of work were we doing at that time? We were working hard to earn some food money. At that time, we were too poor..." Wang Guiying sighed.
Fortunately, life is better now, but thanks to the eldest son and daughter-in-law, otherwise there would not be such a good day.
Not only their own family, but also the people in the village. They are so promising.
After eating dumplings, Guo Xiang helped take the bowl to the kitchen.
"You let me wash it. It's hard on the road. Go and have a rest early." Wang Guiying said.
"I also want to take a bath. I'm very uncomfortable on the road for several days." Guo Xiang said.
"Then I'll boil some more water!" Wang Guiying added cold water to the pot and sat down in front of the stove to light the fire.
When Guo Xiang was washing the dishes, he saw a lot of dishes under the nearby vegetable cabinet, such as pumpkin, taro and Huaishan.
"Mother has planted a lot of vegetables this year?" Asked Guo Xiang.
"What I planted was sent by others." Wang Guiying said with a smile.
"From someone else?" Guo Xiang was surprised.
"It's from the villagers. You set up factories here. Many families have people working in our factory and have made money. In order to thank them for sending them. Some people send eggs, some people send vegetables, and some people send chickens and ducks. Go and have a look. There are several in the pigsty. "
"We countrymen, there's nothing else. We're still grateful. Although things are not expensive, they are all intentions." Wang Guiying said.
Guo Xiang nodded. It seems that there are still most simple and kind-hearted people in the countryside.
"I've also seen your factory. It's almost finished. It's so big. I can't believe it's opened by our family." Wang Guiying said, but her eyes turned red. "If your father knew how happy he would be one day!"
Guo Xiang looked at Wang Guiying and comforted her, "Dad will know."
Wang Guiying wiped the corners of her eyes, "look at me. I should be happy for the new year. I am happy! "
When the water was hot, Guo Xiang scooped a bucket of water into the bathroom to take a bath.
There was no heating in southern Hunan, and it was difficult to put charcoal pots in the bathroom. Guo Xiang shivered when he took off his clothes.
I took a quick bath and put on my clothes.
Back in the room, "husband, why don't you take a bath, too? There's hot water in the kitchen. "
"Yes!" Gu Zhennan replied that it was time to wash. He was dirty and couldn't sleep.
Took a change of clothes, took a bath and came back soon.
"Come on up!" Guo Xiang moved inside and gave him the warm quilt.
"Warm my bed?" Gu Zhennan smiled, leaned over and pecked on Guo Xiang's face.
"I can not only warm my bed, but also see a doctor. Would you like to have a look?" Guo Xiang had a flirting expression on his face.
"OK, do you want to take off your clothes?" Gu Zhennan cooperates to get up.
"Get out!" Guo Xiang laughs. It's rare for her husband to joke.
Gu Zhennan hugged Guo Xiang and put her in his arms. "It's good to be like this now!"
"Yes!" Guo Xiang leaned on his shoulder and felt good to go home.
I can't help thinking of my parents and my family in this life.
"Tired, sleep!" Gu Zhennan pulled Guo Xiang into bed.
After a while, Gu Zhennan's snoring came to his ears. Usually he doesn't snore. He's too tired these days. It's hard for him.
Guo Xiang arched his body into the man's arms, found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.
The next day Guo Xiang was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
It was just daybreak, and the sound of chickens came and went.
The peculiar smell of cooking smoke in the countryside floated in from the window. When new year's Eve came, some people began to set off firecrackers.
Guo Xiang moved. Gu Zhennan hugged her in his arms and closed his eyes. "Sleep a little longer!"
"Mother seems to be up!" Guo Xiang said softly.
"Never mind, she gets up early every day." Gu Zhennan opened his eyes, rolled over and pressed the woman under him, bowed his head and kissed her.
…………
At more than eight o'clock, Guo Er came to call for breakfast, and the two got up in a hurry.
After breakfast, everyone was busy.
"Guo'er, you go and call grandpa Ji to celebrate the new year together." Guo Xiang said to Guo'er, also known as Gu Zhendong, "go and call the Mengmeng family and celebrate the new year together."
"Hey!" The two responded in unison.
After a while, Ji Changlin came.
"Master!" Guo Xiang hurriedly greeted him.
"When did you come back?" Ji Changlin asked.
"Just last night." Guo Xiang said, taking out the leather jacket he bought for him from the house.
"Master, here are clothes for you. They are leather and warm. You don't have to wash them yet. Would you like to try? " Guo Xiang said with a smile.
"I still use you to buy me clothes?" Ji Changlin said, but he was very happy. The apprentice had not forgotten his master.
He took off his coat and put on his leather jacket, which made him feel a lot more energetic.
"With such a dress, Dr. Ji looks like a city man." Wang Guiying said with a smile.
Her daughter-in-law buys clothes for Dr. Ji. She doesn't care about money. It's right for an apprentice to honor his master.
"Good!" Ji Changlin looked down at his leather jacket and was filled with joy.
I haven't worn new clothes for a long time. It's not that I have no money to buy, but I don't think it's necessary. The bad old man pays so much attention to it, but the apprentice is filial and happy.
After a few minutes, Gu Zhendong came with Shen Qingshan, Shen Meng and Shen Meng's mother Xie Yunhua.
"Miss Shen!" Guo Xiang hurriedly greeted him.
"Xiao Guo is back?" Shen Qingshan nodded.
Shen Meng smiled and shouted, "sister Guo Xiang!"
Shen Qingshan pulled Xie Yunhua in front of him and introduced him to Guo Xiang, "this is my wife Xie Yunhua. She's a doctor with you!"
"Really? What a coincidence! " Guo Xiang warmly shook hands with Xie Yunhua, "Hello, aunt Xie!"
No wonder Shen Meng said that her parents were very busy when she was a child. Xie Yunhua is a doctor. Naturally, she is very busy. She has a deep understanding.
"Hello!" Xie Yunhua smiled. "I've heard from old Shen that you are a very capable girl. Today, you really deserve your reputation!"
"Where, Mr. Shen praised falsely." Guo Xiang smiled, "come on, come in and sit down!"
