Liu Fangfang's face was red but white. Why did she forget to close the door just now?

Today is New Year's Eve and the lights cannot be turned off, so the house is brightly lit.

Gu Liangcheng hugged his wife and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, I drove them away..."

But the more she talked, the more Liu Fangfang felt ashamed and buried her head deeply in Gu Liangcheng's arms.

After some time, she actually fell asleep.

Gu Liangcheng didn't wake her up, got a pillow, put her on the kang, and covered her with a quilt.

Then I went to the ground. It was time to make dumplings and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

Seeing the fierce look in her elder brother's eyes, Gu Xiaomei dared to do it again, so she had no choice but to help prepare.

The brother and sister played for a while. After everything was done, they called Liu Fangfang up when they were making dumplings.

Gu Xiaomei acted as if what happened just now had never happened, so Liu Fangfang's embarrassment was reduced a lot.

The three of them sat around the Kang making dumplings, cooking vegetables and stewing fish.

After everything was settled and the hot New Year's Eve dinner was served, Mrs. Gu was called up.

Naturally, he was moved again and even sent out a red envelope for the first time.

It's euphemistically called New Year's money, but Xiaobao still has the most money.

The family had a warm New Year's Eve dinner, and the three of them who had stayed up all night couldn't stand it anymore and went back to the house to sleep.

It was just dawn, and Mrs. Gu had just prepared peanuts, melon seeds and candies, when children from the village came to the door one after another.

As soon as he came in, he knelt down and kowtowed.

It is a custom that children will run from house to house on the first day of the new year to pay New Year greetings and kowtow to their elders.

It is also the children’s favorite part, because more or less, they can get some peanuts, melon seeds, and even candies.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock that Gu Liangcheng and his wife got up and came out. They had to go to their grandparents to kowtow to pay New Year greetings, their second uncle's house, their aunt's house in the village, and a few other well-to-do families.

This ordeal passed in most of the day.

It was already time for lunch when we got back. After eating, we were playing cards in groups, chatting and eating melon seeds...

Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Gu put on the new clothes Liu Fangfang made for her, put on her scarf and gloves, and dressed her eldest grandson in high spirits.

"You three, hurry up! If we delay you any longer, it's time for your aunt and her family to go out!"

I didn't forget to urge the three people who stayed up late playing cards to pack up and go out.

She got up early in the morning, heated up the food, and filled her stomach with Xiaobao, leaving only three people who stayed in bed and didn't get up.

The second day of the new year is the day when a married daughter returns to her natal family. Mrs. Gu's natal parents are still there, but because her family's conditions were poor after she became a widow, she gradually stopped interacting with her natal family.

Every time I go back to my parents' home, the three sisters and my daughter will be compared with each other by my sister-in-law.

As time went by, Mrs. Gu didn't want to go back, and her parents didn't mention it. The eldest sister who had just married in a village would ask her to go back together.

But when I later found out that she didn't want to go back, I stopped calling.

But it's different now. Now that she's strong, she has a son and a grandson, her daughter is studying, her daughter-in-law is promising, and her family's conditions have improved, so she doesn't want to stay at home as a coward.

She wanted to show it to her sister-in-law who had eyes on her forehead.She, Liang Dajuan, is not someone to be bullied.

Gu Liangcheng had a headache and pushed his little wife in his arms, calling softly, "Daughter-in-law, get up..."

The two of them not only stayed up late last night, but also exercised. They were so tired that her wife couldn't stand it and fell asleep.

Liu Fangfang frowned and turned over, still wanting to sleep.Gu Liangcheng said a straight word and rescued her from the sleepy man.

"Mom is ready and waiting!"

Liu Fangfang quickly sat up straight, "What? Why didn't you wake me up earlier? Come on, come on, get dressed, wash your face..."

I jumped out of the warm bed and went to put on clothes and wash up in a cold state.

On Xiaomei Gu's side, Mrs. Gu couldn't wake her up and took action directly.

In this way, they tidied up hurriedly, but when they could go in and out, Gu Liangcheng pressed hard, and the three of them fought for some time to eat.

After a quick breakfast, we met at my aunt's house. It happened that their family of three was just getting ready to go out.

The parents' home of Liang Dalan and her sisters is not far away. It only takes an hour's walk to get there.

Xiaobao was wrapped into a small cotton ball and held by Gu Liangcheng, and the group set off.

We set off at nine in the morning. There was snow on the road and we walked slowly. We didn't arrive until 10:30.

When they arrived, a carriage was already tied at the door of Lao Liang's house.

"Auntie, they came really early..." Li Xiaohua curled her lips, obviously not very...

Liu Fangfang had never been to Gu Liangcheng's family in her previous life. She only met her grandma and grandpa once when she got married. Mrs. Gu didn't ask to come, and she didn't want to come either.

Looking at her now, she still seems a bit unfamiliar. It has been four years since she married and this is the first time she has been to a foreign family's home.

"Let's go! Go in!" Liang Dalan heard her daughter's tone, pulled her and led her into the house.

The group of people walked inside. Liu Fangfang observed as they walked and found that her grandma's house was okay.

The yard was quite neat and large, with some farm tools placed in the corners, like a typical farmer. He also kept a dog. When he saw a group of them coming in, the dog started barking.

The barking sound was confident and loud.

But in the room, there was no intention of coming out to receive guests. It was as quiet as if they hadn't heard.

Sisters Liang Dalan and Liang Dajuan were the first to open the door and walked in.

In the house, their third sister's family came over as expected, and their sister-in-law served them on the kang, offering them hot tea and melon seeds.

Looking back, I saw them walking in. The daughter-in-law of their only brother Liang Daguang smiled and greeted them lukewarmly.

"Are the eldest and second sisters here? Hurry up and sit down on the kang to warm up!"

To talk about why this sister-in-law wants to please the third aunt so much, we have to start with the work of the third brother-in-law.

The third sister married into the commune, and the third brother-in-law worked for the government and even helped Liang Daguang's daughter-in-law's nephew.

The old couple sat on the kang and were happy to see their daughter coming over.

As people get older, it is easier to miss their children. The second daughter, who had been reluctant to come here for several years, also came, bringing her children and grandchildren with her. Mr. Liang and his wife laughed so hard that they couldn't even see their teeth.

"Quickly, bring my great-grandson over here! Is it freezing all the way? Get on the kang to warm yourself up! Dalan Dajuan! You two get on the kang too!"

Liang Daguang's wife went down to the ground to make tea, whether she wanted to or not.

But this time, I saw Liu Fangfang and Gu Xiaomei holding New Year's gifts that they had no time to put down.

She rolled her eyes and stepped forward with a smile, "Oh, this is Chengzi's wife, right? And Xiaomei, you guys should hurry up and get on the kang! You're really tired from the journey, so hurry up and get on the kang to warm yourself up!" She kept her eyes on the gifts as she spoke.

In fact, it’s not any delicacies, that is, tea, red and white sugar, cakes, and two bottles of wine and two cans.

But in the eyes of Liang Daguang's wife, it was a rare good thing.
