New Year’s Eve (3)

Li Xianglan and Cao Fengxia, who were watching TV in the house, saw that Cao Chunyuan had not returned to the house after being out for a long time, so they got up and went out curiously.

Outside the house, Cao Chunyuan was standing at the gate, seemingly communicating with the people outside.

Li Xianglan stood at the door of the living room and shouted, "Erni, why are you doing people outside the door during the Chinese New Year? Hurry up and call people inside to sit down!"

Cao Chunyuan turned her head and looked at Li Xianglan helplessly. If this was an ordinary person, she would have invited him in directly. The key is that the person outside the door was not an ordinary person.

Cao Chunyuan waved to Li Xianglan and Cao Fengxia and said, "How about you guys come over?"

Li Xianglan and Cao Fengxia looked at each other, with strong curiosity in their eyes, and they both guessed that Cao Chunyuan had come up with a new idea.

"Let's go and have a look!" In the end, it was Cao Fengxia who took the lead and walked towards the door first, followed closely by Li Xianglan.

At first, Cao Fengxia thought Cao Chunyuan had prepared a surprise for them. When she saw the people outside the gate, her expression changed instantly.

The smile on Cao Fengxia's face quickly faded, and she looked at the people outside the door with a cold expression, "Didn't you say you were done with our old Cao family? What kind of wind has brought you here today?"

Um?

Cao Chunyuan only knew that her aunt Cao Yumei had married to Wangzhuang Town very early and had not been very close to the old Cao family. After Cao Shien's accident, Li Xianglan went to her house to borrow money.

The first time he lent Li Xianglan a few hundred yuan, he stopped lending her the second time. Later, the relationship between the two families gradually drifted apart, and finally they stopped contacting her at all.

Unexpectedly, the matter was not just what Cao Chunyuan knew, but there seemed to be a hidden secret that Cao Chunyuan did not know.

Outside the door, Cao Yumei's face turned red when Cao Fengxia spoke. She looked at Wang Fugui beside her with some embarrassment. Wang Fugui didn't say anything and lightly bumped Cao Yumei with his elbow.

Secretly reminding her to speak according to the previously discussed words. Cao Yumei gritted her teeth and said secretly that I would risk my life for the sake of my child.

"Oops~"

Cao Yumei sat down on the ground, slapped the ground with both hands, and said in tears: "Second brother, it was the eldest sister who was wrong at first, because the eldest sister did not help you and the third child.

The eldest sister couldn't help it at the time. At that time, my eldest son was waiting to get married, and the second son had just graduated and was waiting to find a job through connections. I couldn't help it either."

Cao Yumei's voice was very loud, and she quickly attracted people from her neighbors. Today was New Year's Eve, and many people were visiting relatives.

In an instant, a large group of people surrounded Cao Fengxia's house. If it weren't for Cao Shien's face, this group of people would have come to watch the fun.

Cao Fengxia clenched her back molars and looked at Li Xianglan behind her. Li Xianglan nodded with a complex expression and said, "Sister, don't sit on the ground in the cold weather. If you have anything to say, come inside and say it!"

Hearing this, Cao Yumei stood up neatly, not forgetting to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

This coquettish operation made Cao Chunyuan call out 666!

In fact, when Cao Chunyuan saw their family, she had already guessed the purpose of their coming today. It was just to see that the old Cao family was now prosperous.

Cao Shi'en became the head of Liujia Village, and Cao Fengxia's family was also very wealthy, so they came to meet their relatives!

Cao Yumei was Cao Chunyuan's elder anyway, and it was hard for her to judge the grievances of the previous generation. So she did not take the initiative to invite Cao Yumei's family into the house, but chose to let Cao Fengxia and Li Xianglan resolve it themselves.

Seeing several people going back to the house to 'negotiate', Cao Chunyuan did not choose to join in the fun. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and called Cao Shien.

"Hello~"

"Dad, my aunt is coming to our house!"

"who?"

Cao Shien suddenly raised his voice, causing Cao Chunyuan's ears to hurt.

"My aunt and uncle came here, and they brought my cousin with them."

There was silence for a moment on Cao Shien's side, and then Cao Shien and his suppressed voice came out: "How are they doing now?"

Cao Chunyuan glanced far away in the direction of the living room and whispered: "My mother and my second aunt invited them into the house. I think they came here because they had something to do today. If you have nothing to do, come back!"

"Okay, I get it!"

After saying that, Cao Shien hung up the phone.

"Alas~"

Cao Chunyuan sighed silently. If it weren't for the fact that Cao Yumei's appearance was somewhat similar to Cao Shien's, she would not have dared to recognize this person as her aunt.

Thinking about it carefully, she hasn't seen Cao Yumei in 6 years, so it's normal that she doesn't recognize her.

When people meet their relatives during the Chinese New Year, they are reunited and happy. Their family is so nice, it's like meeting enemies.

Cao Chunyuan glanced at the living room and shook her head silently. She did not want to get involved in the disputes between these elders. She got in her car, informed Wang Manni to meet at the Agricultural Research Center, and then drove straight to the Agricultural Research Center.

In the house, Li Xianglan and Cao Fengxia were sitting on the east side of the living room, and Cao Yumei's family was sitting on the west side of the living room. They just looked at each other, and no one took the initiative to speak.

In the end, it was Cao Yumei who took the initiative to break the silence.

"Brothers and sisters, we are all women. You know how difficult it is for women to have a family. It was really hard for me when the third child had an accident. If I could have helped, I would have definitely helped!"

The expression on Li Xianglan's face changed. Her facial muscles tightened, obviously restraining her emotions.

Finally, she took a long breath and said softly: "Sister, what happened back then is long gone. To be honest, I did hate you back then, but if you think about it from your perspective, no one should consider their own family first. My husband and I

Cao doesn't blame you.

Last year, Lao Cao's family had some bad luck. The eldest son was admitted to college, the second son also became a promising boss, and even Lao Cao became the village chief.

Our family’s hard times have finally come to an end!”

Speaking of this, Li Xianglan paused and looked at Cao Yumei. This was the first time she looked directly at Cao Yumei after they reunited.

"We don't need to mention what happened back then. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Just as Cao Yumei was about to speak, Wang Fugui beside her said first: "Brothers and sisters, I know you are the most generous, and you will definitely not blame us. It's not the New Year, so we specially brought some New Year's goods to see you."

As he spoke, he patted Wang Meng beside him and said, "Wang Meng, quickly give your second aunt and your aunt a New Year's greetings."

Wang Meng stood up very restrainedly, bowed and said: "Happy New Year to my second aunt, happy New Year to my aunt!"

"Hmph~"

Cao Fengxia snorted coldly and said angrily: "Weasel pays New Year's greetings to Rooster!"

Hearing this, Wang Fugui and Wang Meng's expressions instantly changed. Fortunately, Wang Fugui had done some psychological preparation before coming. He knew that today's scene would not be smooth sailing. He patted Wang Meng gently and asked Wang Meng to sit aside.

Wang Fugui forced a smile, stood up and said, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? I thought I would come over to see you. We are all a family, so why should we be so isolated?"

"Family, who is your family?

Didn't you say at the beginning that Cao Yumei had nothing to do with our old Cao family after she married your Wang family?

Why, seeing that we are now prosperous, we rush over to recognize our relatives, but it’s too late!”
