The nearer the Chinese New Year is, the more lights are shining. Every family has to put on a new couplet and a new word for happiness. As early as a week ago, Kuang Meixing gave annual leave to all the outsiders in her family. Now, apart from Zhou Tong, Lu Zhengan, who has no children or family, is left behind.

Lu Zhengan privately asked Kuang Meixing if she wanted to post a new couplet. Kuang Meixing was confused and hesitated for a short time, saying: "no more."

Shen Jiao came out and said, "Uncle an, give it to me. I'll stick it."

Lu Zheng'an nodded: "Hey, I'll get it."

After Lu Zhengan left, Kuang Meixing said, "what couplets do you post at such a time to let outsiders watch."

Shen Jiao said without any difference: "not sticking is to let people see the excitement."

She took Zhou Tong and Lu Zheng'an out, opened the door, and pasted the word "new blessing" honestly, not for money, not for luck, just for peace.

Shen Jiao knows that Kuang Zhenzhou can't get out this time, but it's not easy for anyone to want his life in his position, so she only asks Kuang Zhenzhou to die, even if he is in a dilemma and loneliness for the rest of his life.

On the 28th of the lunar new year, Zhou Tong and Lu Zheng'an prepared a table of dishes. The North has always attached importance to the new year. Moreover, in the Kuang family, the rules are deeply rooted. Every year, from the 28th of the lunar new year, the family will come together and call Kuang Meixing and Shen Jiao out of the room. Lu Zheng'an said, "dinner is ready."

Kuang Meixing is stuck in her throat and her eyes are red. Lu Zhengan doesn't want to open her eyes either. It's clear that she just hasn't arrived, but she seems to have died.

Shen Jiao said, "Uncle an, let's have dinner together."

Lu Zhengan subconsciously refused: "you eat, I go to the back to have a look."

Shen Jiao poked through the thin window paper: "there is no one in the back. Don't look. There are only four of us. There are no outsiders. If you don't sit, there will be fewer people."

Lu Zheng'an lowered his head and answered with a slow half beat

Shen Jiao got up and took Maotai to pour wine into the cup that Lu Zheng'an was holding. Lu Zheng'an quickly put out her hand to stop her

Shen Jiao said, "Uncle an, there is no outsider at home. Just call me Xiao Wu."

Lu Zheng'an was silent, and her eyes became more red. Shen Jiao took the cup and poured the wine, saying, "Uncle an, I'll give you this cup."

Lu Zhengan wanted to say nothing, but waved his hand to refuse. Shen Jiao said, "first glass of wine, thank you for running for the Kuang family for so many years."

Lu Zheng'an got up, took the wine cup in both hands, red eyes back: "you think I'm a family, we don't say that."

Shen Jiao took care of herself, drank a cup of wine, and poured a second: "this cup is to you for taking care of my grandfather for so many years."

With tears in his eyes, Lu Zhengan said in a low voice, "my honor. The happiest and luckiest thing in my life is to follow Kuang Lao."

Shen Jiao looked up, drank the third cup, and her eyes were moist: "Uncle an, I wish you a happy new year in advance. After this meal today, you can go."

Lu Zheng'an was in a daze for a moment. He stood still with his glass. Kuang Meixing lowered her head and wiped her tears secretly. Shen Jiao took the corner of her lip and said with a smile, "I know what you want to say. For the sake of the Kuang family, you have never been married and have no children. The Kuang family is your family. I have treated you as a family since I was a child. Now and in the future, you will never change, no matter where you go, We are all a family, but now that my grandfather is away, others may not come back. After so many years of tiredness, you are old enough to retire. "

Tears fell, Lu Zhengan firmly said: "needless to say, I will not leave. No matter when Kuang comes back, I have to be here to take care of his family."

Shen Jiao's eyes suddenly turned red several times and her lips moved. After a few seconds, she repressed: "she won't come back."

Kuang Mei Xing sobbed softly. Today, Zhou Tong's face was expressionless and a little more lonely than before.

Facing Lu Zheng'an, Shen Jiao said with a smile and tears, "Uncle an, my grandfather won't come back. He only cares about us now. It's his entrustment to let you go. He said that nothing can be given to you all his life. There are some books you like in the study. Please take them with you when you leave."

When Lu Zhengan heard the speech, he couldn't control it any more. When he cried, he shook his hands and spilled the wine out of his glass.

It's said that people push when the wall falls. In fact, before the wall falls, someone can't wait to step forward and kick it; The so-called people walk tea cool, most people are still, tea has been cold.

No matter how hard the news is kept, the most important thing in the nighttown is the people with good eyesight. Even if they don't have exact information, they can catch the wind from all aspects and know whether the Kuang family is going to have an accident or something serious. In the past, there were an endless stream of people in front of the Kuang family. Now it's almost new year's day, and there are few people outside.

All the people in this circle have been taken away. Those who are not in this circle are completely isolated. Shen Jiao has no idea how Kuang Zhenzhou is now. She has to rely on Kuang Meixing's narrow ways to inquire about the situation outside.

Kuang Meixing told her: "I'm afraid that your aunt and aunt's family can't get out. Before I could see your grandfather, he told me that if he didn't come out a year ago, he would stop waiting and take you abroad. Your father and I have been avoiding this circle all these years. Before, they investigated me for a long time and asked me a lot, but there was no evidence. You have nothing to do with these things, Let's get out of here before they're ready to kill our whole family. "

Shen Jiao was sitting on the bed with empty eyes. She seemed to be distracted, but her voice was very clear: "you go."

"It's not the time to get emotional," Kuang said in an urgent voice

Shen Jiao said faintly, "who am I angry with? I don't think you are ungrateful either. I just don't want to celebrate the new year. There is no one at home

With tears streaming, Kuang Meixing choked: "no one wants to do this, but now it's like this. Your grandfather can't turn over the business. What can we do if we are expected to do it?"

Shen Jiao said calmly, "just because I can't do it, I don't want to run away. I didn't do anything wrong. I stayed in my own home. Can those people be so domineering that they won't let me wait for news?"

Kuang Meixing said: "you also know that those people are overbearing. Your grandfather has offended as many people as he has won over the past few years. Now, when he finally gets the chance, they don't care whether you are wrong or not. They only know that you are Kuang Zhenzhou's granddaughter. Your second aunt has long given away her virginity, and Lin Jing has disappeared. Your aunt is sure to protect him and take care of herself, Everyone is making plans for themselves. What can you wait for when you sit here all by yourself? "

Caught off guard, Shen Jiao had a big tear on her calm face. She looked at a place without blinking. She said in a soft voice, "grandfather knows I'm still here, so I won't be so sad."
