On New Year's Eve, the old man sent Mrs. Zhang over and said that even if the families were separated, they still had to have the reunion dinner together. Lin Xue stopped thinking about cooking and just went. If she could still be eaten by them, the family changed.

Wearing new clothes, we went to Li's house chatting and laughing.

As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Zhao came out with a plate of melon seeds in his hand, "Brothers and sisters are here, come in quickly, dad is waiting for you in the upper room."

Lin Xue was not polite and walked into the upper room. The old man and Wang's Li Yue were sitting on the Kang. Everyone else was sitting underneath, surrounding a big table. Bai Fen was refilling water for everyone, and Li Ping was talking to her from time to time.

Something was whispered in his ear, making the two of them laugh.

The family of four stood in the middle and saluted the old man and Mr. Wang, "Father, mother." Lin Xue took out the prepared gifts and put them on the kang, and prepared a new set of clothes for Mr. Wang.

I bought good tobacco and a silver hairpin for Li Yue. As for the others, they are not qualified yet.

After Mrs. Wang checked them one by one, a smile appeared on her face. Li Yue impatiently inserted the hairpin into her head, took out a small bronze mirror from her sleeve and took a beautiful photo, "Mom, do you think I'm pretty?"

"

Wang always smiled kindly at Li Yue and helped her straighten her hairpin, "My girl is beautiful and looks good in whatever she wears."

"Third brother, don't waste money on buying things from now on. We are all part of the same family." The old man also smiled, opened the cigarette case, pinched a handful of shredded tobacco and started smoking.

"Dad, this is third brother's filial piety. If you don't want it, he might use it to honor his father-in-law." Li Fu grinned, revealing a set of big yellow teeth, and kept picking at his teeth with his right index finger.

seam.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Xiaoxue's father is also my father, so it's normal to give him something during the Chinese New Year." Li Qi didn't want to say more, so he explained, then found a place to sit down with Lin Xue, and they were both pregnant.

Holding a child in his arms.

"I didn't say anything." Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Li Fu lowered his head and drank tea.

"It's time to eat, my brothers and sisters, help me." Mrs. Zhao and Ms. Zhang walked in with the food. Lin Xue put Yunyun in the place and stood up, took the plate and put it on the table.

After setting out a large bowl of rice, eight dishes, and one soup, the old man picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat them all. There is no need to be taboo if you are celebrating the Chinese New Year." Then everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Yun Yun's short arms couldn't reach the food on the table, so Lin Xue picked up a chopstick and put it in her bowl. They were eating the meal peacefully, but Da Ya, who was sitting opposite, caused trouble, holding the bowl with her sleeves.

Fell to the ground.

It turned out that Da Ya wanted to eat the braised pork on the table, but her arms were too short to reach it, and Ms. Zhang didn’t like her daughter just eating by herself. Da Ya stood on the stool in a hurry. Just as she was about to pick up the meat, she lost her balance and fell.

He fell backwards and even the bowl on the table fell.

"What are you doing? Breaking things during the Chinese New Year and trying to make the whole family uneasy." Mrs. Wang slammed her chopsticks and said, "If you don't want to eat, get out of here."

"Mom, don't be angry. I'll teach her a lesson. It's so shameless." Mrs. Zhang didn't care whether Daya was injured or not. She picked her up and hit her back with her big hand, making a snapping sound. Daya didn't even cry.

Dare, tears accumulated in my eyes, and with the shaking of my body, big drops fell to the ground.

Lin Xue couldn't stand it anymore and stood up, "Sister-in-law, why did you hit the child? She didn't mean it."

"What do you care about? Crawling out of my belly, I can do whatever I want." Mrs. Zhang said.

"Okay, you make the decision." Lin Xue faced Mrs. Wang, "Mom, as the saying goes, it's so peaceful. Da Ya's attack is a mistake, but my sister-in-law didn't have a good idea. I heard the old man in the village said that if there is a fight on New Year's Eve,

The child just curses his parents-in-law for bad luck in the coming year."

"Mom, I didn't. You must not believe the nonsense the third brother and sister are talking about." Mrs. Zhang panicked and argued that this crime could not fall on her.

"Okay, let's sit down and eat. Boss and wife, please go back to the house. I don't think you want to eat either." The old man raised his head and said.

Mrs. Zhang stood up silently, walked to the door and glared at Lin Xue, as if to say, wait for me, I want you to look good in the future. Lin Xue gave her a provocative look when no one was paying attention, and lowered her head to eat.

"Lin Xue, you, I'm not done with you." Mrs. Zhang turned around and ran out.

Lin Xue asked Li Qi and Daya to change places. Bai Fen on the right filled a new bowl of rice and handed it to Daya. Lin Xue put the dishes on the table into her bowl. Daya hesitated for a while and wiped away her tears.

Picked up the chopsticks.

For the next time, no one spoke to anyone. Everyone finished the meal in silence, cleared away the dishes, and left on their own.

Lin Xue walked out of Li's house and breathed a sigh of relief, but she was holding it back. She had been vigilant all night, but nothing happened, so her worries were in vain.

"Master, why are you so weird today and why don't you blame us?"

Li Qi shook his head, holding Yunyun in his arms, and walked forward carefully.

"Xiaoxue, it's okay to be fine."

"That's not true, I just feel weird."

Lin Xue led Li Feng and followed Li Qi. A quarter of an hour later, they walked to the door of the house. Li Qi took out the key and opened the door. The candle he lit before leaving was still on. Lin Xue picked it up carefully and protected the flames with one hand.

Walk towards the house.

Li Feng ran back into the house like a wild horse, "Dad, Mom, hurry up, it's so warm in the house."

Lin Xue walked in, dropped a few drops of candle tears on the table and stood the candle on it. Li Qi took off Yunyun's shoes and put her on the bed.

"Xiaoxue, stop working and go to bed early."

"It's okay. You have to get a basin of water and wash your face."

After hearing this, Li Qi picked up the basin in the room and ran back. After a while, the door curtain was opened, and Li Qi came back with a half-filled basin of water, with wisps of steam still rising from it.

Lin Xue wet a towel and wiped the hands and faces of the two children, and then she and Li Qicai washed them with warm water.

The next day, because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xue stayed in bed and refused to get up. She also pulled Li Qi and lay there with her until the sun rose and shone directly through the window onto the bed, making Lin Xue unable to open her eyes.

"Xiaoxue, get up, I'm going back to my old house with my children to pay New Year's greetings later."

Lin Xue then got up, lifted the quilt and wore the light pink pajamas she made. She got off the bed and randomly found a pair of shoes to put on. She walked over to the closet and opened the closet, took out the new clothes she bought a few days ago and threw one to Li

Strangely, he returned to the kang and got into bed to get dressed.

Li Qi was not afraid of the cold. He immediately changed his clothes and got out of bed. He walked to the child and deliberately said in a soft voice, "Feng'er, Yunyun, wake up."

After calling a few times, Li Feng opened his eyes and sat up. He patted his sister next to him, then turned over and continued to sleep without paying any attention.

"Master, take Feng'er to wash your face and leave it to me."
