Turns out, after hearing Cui Dajiao’s words, Xu’s mother not only did not show gratitude in her eyes, but her face darkened. She said, “If you want to laugh at me, just say it, why are you beating around the bush?!”
Cui Daxiao suddenly felt wronged: "Why are you still wronging someone? I gave you advice with good intentions, but you said that I was mocking you. People from the Xu family can't be like this, do you know?"
However, Xu's mother didn't answer and turned around to walk towards the door of her courtyard. She just felt that the villagers standing by the village road gossiping were all looking over here. To be more precise, they were looking at her. For a moment, she wished she had not met Cui. Big speakers.
Sporadic firecrackers sounded from time to time, and a few familiar women or old men stood at regular intervals on both sides of the village road chatting, while groups of active children ran up and down the village road. Go, one will slip and fall to the ground due to the snow under his feet without paying attention.
But almost no one opened their mouths to cry.
Getting up, he started running with a smile again, chasing his little friend.
“Big brother, big brother, it’s so fun to celebrate the New Year in my hometown!”
Mingwei and her brother Mingrui stood at the entrance of the courtyard, watching their brother Minghan, Cousin Hao and several other younger cousins skiing hand in hand. The little girl gradually became more and more excited to try it, and couldn't help but said to her brother Mingrui: "I want to, too. Let’s play, big brother, can you hold me and slide for a while?”
Unexpectedly, these words were heard by Jiang Yikai, who had just walked out of the courtyard. He casually plucked the wool ball on the little girl's ear protection cap and said with a smile: "Let's go, cousin Kai will take you to ski."
“Hurrah, hooray!”
Mingwei clapped her hands happily and asked her brother Mingrui: "Big brother, do you want to come with us?"
Before Mingrui could say anything, Jiang Yikai stretched out his hand towards the two: "Come on, classmate Luo Mingrui!"
Mingrui was a little embarrassed, but still put one of his hands on his cousin's palm.
After a while, the little girl's clear and melodious laughter sounded outside the courtyard door.
As time went by, the sky gradually darkened, and most of the villagers who were standing on the side of the village road gossiping and the children playing wildly on the street went back to their respective homes.
The sound of firecrackers, the smell of meat and the cheerful laughter of children wafted from every yard.
Thinking that I have only been home once in more than two years, and Jiang Li will cook everything for this New Year's Eve dinner. However, Sister Jiang and Sister Jiang's sisters-in-law are all helping Jiang Li in the kitchen.
Since everyone in the family gathered together this year, including Yan Rou, the new daughter-in-law, Yan Rou's father, two secretaries, and Zhou Heng and Zhang Lei, Jiang Li directly served three plates of each dish and arranged the whole thing. Three big tables full.
Before the New Year's Eve dinner, Captain Jiang personally went to Uncle Jiang's house and invited his parents and two brothers to his home. It can be said that everyone had a great time at the New Year's Eve dinner, and the overall atmosphere was both Warm and lively.
It was almost ten o'clock. Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang were helped away by Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jiang. Then Jiang Yiyang and other juniors gathered in a room to play poker. Seeing that there was nothing to do,
Sister-in-law Jiang and her sisters-in-law went back to their respective rooms to rest. The remaining five brothers, Brother Jiang and Jiang Li, all sat down on the Kang between their parents without even having to say anything.
Well, Luo Yanqing was grabbed by Jiang Li and refused to let go.
As for Zhou Heng and Zhang Lei, after Yan Rou left with her father Yan Songping and Yan Songping's two secretaries, they also returned to their room.
"Our family doesn't have the habit of keeping New Year's Eve. If you don't go back to your own room to sleep, why are you all sitting on our kang?"
