On the night of New Year's Eve, the villa was very lively. At about 6:00 pm, after preparing food, the whole family started to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

When eating New Year's Eat in the courtyard, there is always something on the table - hot pot. Various kinds of balls, meat and mushrooms are churning hard in the pot, and the aroma of the food comes to the face. The other dishes on the table are also full of colors, aromas and flavors. While everyone adds raw meat, vegetables and other base ingredients to the hot pot, they also don’t forget to taste other foods.

Shang Yiqi's parents are both very spicy, and Shang Yiqi also eats some. As for another important figure at the dinner table, Shang Yiqi's sister and Gu Xiyan's sister-in-law, Shang Yarou, who is even more spicy!

The villa was very cold, the indoor heating was turned on, and the table of hot food was filled with red faces. Seeing everyone's cheerful flowers, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but think that many years ago, she couldn't get any spicy foam. But when did everything slowly change?

I didn't like it before, but now I gradually accepted it. I used to like light things, but now I can't eat them very much.

"Grandpa, grandma's, aunt's, dad's... and mommy's." A piece of beef came out in the bowl. Gu Xiyan raised her head and saw the little girl smiling brightly.

"Yan'er is so good." The little girl's grandmother picked up a handful of meat for the little girl to commend her.

"Okay, Yan'er, look how good my grandma is to you!" Shang Yarou's words were a little jealous.

The little girl's grandmother couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, Xiaoya, where are you jealous with Yan'er? Didn't you see that Yan'er picked up something for you?"

"Yes, come on, baby, my aunt will give you one." After picking up a few shrimps and peeling the shells, Shang Yarou handed them to the little girl.

"Thank you aunt." The little girl said sweet-mouthed and would like to rub her at home alone.

Shang Yarou ate a few pieces of mutton covered with chili sauce by herself, and her eyes swept to Gu Xiyan. She thought about it for a while, and suddenly pretended to be subtle and said, "Xiaoyan, is it okay for me to ask you a question?"

Shang Yiqi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It was not the nature of the elder sister!

Gu Xiyan was a little flattered, so she hurriedly responded: "Sister, please tell me, I will try my best to answer if I know."

"Hehe." After another bite of the dish, Shang Yarou looked at her younger brother and then at Gu Xiyan. Her voice was deliberately lowered, but she said something amazing: "Xiaoyan, Xiaoqi has been a big deal in the army since she was a child. I said, can you stand his physical strength?"

He blinked at these two people ambiguously, and Shang Yarou's eyes were full of curiosity.

Perhaps it was because the heat on the dining table was too high, Gu Xiyan's face turned red when she heard her sister-in-law's question. She lowered her head and Gu Xiyan didn't dare to speak anymore.

Shang Yiqi had no intention of saving the situation. Could it be that Shang Yarou's consideration was really hit by her? She touched her chin with her right hand, and she suddenly nodded: "Xiaoyan, this is not OK. I have decided that you have to practice your little body. After the Chinese New Year, go to the army with your sister to play. Xiaoqi, lend your wife for a while, have no objection?"

Shang Yarou's voice was quite loud. It turned out that the little girl and her grandparents didn't pay much attention to the situation here. When Shang Yarou shouted, the three of them were attracted.

"Xiaoya, what are you talking about?" The little girl's grandmother asked first.

"Hey, wife of the political commissar, I'm talking to your wife, don't worry!" Shang Yarou turned slightly and talked to her mother.

"Why did I hear you say you want to take Xiaoyan to the army?" The wife of the political commissar was obviously not satisfied with Shang Yarou's words.

"It's time to practice." Shang Yarou was still waiting to reply, but Shang Baike said.

Gu Xiyan heard the man's open mouth and paused with chopsticks. He looked at Shang Yiqi, but saw him smiling and silent. After glaring at Shang Yiqi, Gu Xiyan turned around and said obediently: "I understand, dad."

Shang Yarou was happy to see it, and thought to herself that the veteran was extraordinary.

The New Year's Eve dinner lasted for an hour. After everyone had enough food and drink, Gu Xiyan and Shang Yarou volunteered to clean up the dining table, while the others were having fun.

In the kitchen, Shang Yarou rubbed the corners of her eyes and looked pitiful and flattering: "Xiaoyan, isn't it a hatred sister?"

"Sister, you're thinking too much, how could that happen?" Gu Xiyan smiled slightly. Gu Xiyan still had some understanding of her sister-in-law.

Shang Yarou's name sounds gentle and gentle, but who knew that such a woman with a simple and pretty face was the commander of the Beijing Armed Police Special Police Corps? Because of years of training, Shang Yarou's skin showed a healthy bronze color, and she ran in the forefront every time she had a task or was dangerous. The female soldiers in the army gave her a nickname "Perfect Sister".

"Xiaoyan, tell me, when did you start doing that with Xiaoqi? I feel that your relationship is so good that I am so sore. I want Xiaoqi to pour you a lot?" Shang Yarou washed the plate in her hand again, and continued to ask.

Gu Xiyan felt a sense of crying and tears when she was talking about Shang Yarou's meat and vegetables. She quickly put the washed dishes on her plate, and she also ran away and said, "Sister, I'll go see what Yan'er is doing first, and you can go out quickly."

As soon as Gu Xiyan left, Shang Yarou narrowed her eyes - hehe, Xiao Qi's wife is really shy, unlike the sisters in the army who are straightforward. However, Xiao Yan and Xiao Qi are shy and the other are introverted, and their personalities are perfect match.

Two years ago, most of the people gathered in front of the TV and waited for the Spring Festival program to be broadcast. This year, because the little girl wanted to go outside to watch the fireworks, Shang Yiqi took the little girl and Gu Xiyan to the outside of the villa together.

"Brother." When the three of them walked to another villa, a surprise sound suddenly rang out.

Gu Xiyan turned her head and saw a man wearing a big windbreaker running over in the snow.

The man stood in front of Shang Yiqi and patted Shang Yiqi on the shoulder vigorously. Gu Xiyan only heard him say, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for many years. I almost thought I had recognized the wrong person just now. Well, who is this?" He said in surprise when he saw Gu Xiyan.

"Your sister-in-law." Shang Yiqi's expression was plain, and he did not have the excited and joyful manner on the man's face. Only the flashes of his eyes revealed his joy.

"Oh, sister-in-law, are you married? I didn't expect that you would be very fast if you haven't seen me for a few years! Hello, sister-in-law, I am Xue Fuxun, just call me Xunzi like you." The man was familiar with him.

Seeing that Shang Yiqi did not object, Gu Xiyan shouted: "Xunzi."

"Uncle, there's me!" The little girl was unwilling to be ignored. She put her waist on her waist and waved her two small braids, which were so simple and cute.

"Hey, you are... Xiao Yan'er, is it Xiao Yan'er?" The man's voice suddenly fell.

"Yes, I'm Yan'er, uncle, why do you seem unhappy?" The little girl was puzzled, and her pink lips were slightly pouted.

"How could it be? Uncle is happy! Yan'er is so old, so good!" He bounced the little girl's forehead and the man called the three of them to sit in the room.

I took another hot bath in the evening. After relaxing, Gu Xiyan actually fell asleep in the bathtub. Shang Yiqi had not waited for Gu Xiyan to come out for a long time before going through the keys in the bathroom to open the door.

When Shang Yiqi picked up Gu Xiyan, the water in the bathtub was already cold, and she didn't have time to put on her clothes. Shang Yiqi directly put Gu Xiyan on the bed. Fortunately, Gu Xiyan turned on the heating as soon as he entered the room, and the room was no longer cold now.

After taking a shower, Shang Yiqi went downstairs to chat with his family for a while. When Shang Baike asked, "Xiao Qi, when will you return to the army?", Shang Yiqi was silent.

"Dad, don't urge Xiaoqi, right? Xiaoqi is also very good now, he has a job and a house." Seeing that Shang Yiqi had not spoken for a long time, Shang Yarou hurried out to smooth things over.

"Xiao Qi, don't forget that your military status is still there. You remember that you said you wanted to be a special forces soldier since you were a child. You have been running for five years. How many more five years do you want to avoid? I will let you go today. You haven't returned to the team for five years. If you don't return to the team after the New Year, don't blame me for your military status. Don't forget what the mission of a soldier is."

After Shang Baike left, Shang Yarou also had a headache: "Xiao Qi, so many years have passed. I didn't blame you for that incident back then. Don't always take things into consideration. If Lin Jingshu knew about it, he would definitely not want you to give up the opportunity to join the army. Think about it carefully. If you really can't figure it out, go hug your wife to get warmth. You can't tell me when you will get enlightened."

When he returned to the room, Shang Yiqi stood with his back against the door for a long time. Gu Xiyan woke up in a daze and saw Shang Yiqi who was holding his head with both hands in a painful posture.

Without thinking too much, Gu Xiyan lifted the quilt and stood up and ran to Shang Yiqi.

"Qi, Qi..." Gu Xiyan shook Shang Yiqi's hand and tried to wake him up from the nightmare.

"Xi..." The forehead was sweating profusely. When Shang Yiqi opened his eyes, Gu Xiyan saw fragility in this man's eyes for the first time.

"It's okay." She hugged him and calmed his emotions.

"Xi, that's it, don't leave." Shang Yiqi's subordinates pressed against Gu Xiyan's red skin, buried his head in her neck, and his words were full of fatigue.

"Okay, don't leave..." Gu Xiyan patted his back lightly, as if coaxing an injured child.
