Chapter Fifty-Nine Chinese New Year

"Come and have an egg, it's free!" Zhang Guifang handed an egg to everyone.

After breakfast, everyone in the courtyard began to greet each other New Year greetings. Zhang Yu hurried back to his house and closed the door because he was still in the period of mourning.

Because if a parent or elder in the family has just passed away, you cannot go to other people’s homes to pay New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year, and you cannot accept others from home to pay New Year greetings.

Closing the door is telling others that there is no need to come to your home to pay New Year greetings.

When the couplets were posted on the 29th, the blue couplets and two pieces of paper money were specially posted on his door.

He spends the New Year at his sister-in-law's place because he knows that her sister-in-law loves him and won't let him spend the New Year alone, nor does he care about this.

But just because his family didn't care, it didn't mean that others wouldn't mind, so after breakfast, he closed the door early.

Seeing her nephew closing the door and turning her head to see the blue couplets taped to the door, Zhang Guifang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye, my brother and sister-in-law have been gone for more than half a year. Time can repair many scars, but the grief of losing a loved one cannot be repaired.

Even though a long time had passed, she still felt sad every time she thought about it. She held back her tears, thinking that today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so she reluctantly allowed herself to smile.

Zhao Wenzhuo looked at his wife's appearance and knew what he was thinking. He also felt sad for the death of his brother and sister-in-law.

When he got married to his wife, he was really poor. He thought that his brother-in-law would not agree to the marriage, but he didn't expect that he just checked his character and her brother-in-law agreed to his proposal.

Even the place where he planned to get married was a place that his brother and sister-in-law asked someone to find. Then, they were afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so they presented it to him in a roundabout way, and he rented it by himself at a very small cost.

It was many years later that he met at a wine table and realized that at that price, it was impossible to rent a nearby house.

It was also that time that he found out that the brother and sister-in-law had been looking for the house for a long time and hired many people before renting it.

The reason why the rent is so cheap is because the two of them paid more than half of the rent in advance without anyone telling him.

When his wife gave birth to her first two children, his salary was still very low and he could only barely support the family.

My wife's food during pregnancy, clothes and blankets after the baby was born were all prepared by my sister-in-law. Because he had no parents, my wife was taken care of by my sister-in-law after the birth of several children.

Even though her sister-in-law was no longer here when the third and fourth children were born, her mother and her sister-in-law were specially invited in advance to take care of the baby during the confinement period.

When it comes to the help my brother and sister-in-law have given to their family, I can't even describe it in a day or two.

He patted his wife on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's all over, it's all over. Xiaoyu will definitely be fine and live a good life."

Zhang Guifang took a breath, smiled, and said to her husband: "Yes, Xiaoyu will be fine, we will be fine, and we will all be fine!"

Zhang Yu, who returned to the house, looked at the lively scene outside and suddenly felt a little lonely.

When he was busy for the Chinese New Year a few days ago, he didn't feel anything. Today he suddenly felt free, especially after he closed the door and saw the bustle outside. Suddenly, a feeling of loneliness slowly swept over him and enveloped him.

, making him feel so lonely in this busy world!

After watching his sister-in-law and uncle's family go out to pay New Year's greetings, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were so quiet, so quiet that he could hear a pindrop, and the only sound was his own breathing.

Feeling that he was homesick, missing his home in the 21st century, he slowly fell asleep and had a sweet dream after falling asleep.

In the dream, nothing happened to him at all, and everything about being reborn was just his fantasy.

He just lay down on the table and took a nap. After waking up, he continued to work step by step.

The company didn't have a holiday during the Chinese New Year this year. He was working overtime while scolding the company, and he called his sister-in-law and complained that the company didn't have a holiday. He missed his sister-in-law and missed home.

While comforting him, his sister-in-law showed him the New Year's Eve dinner, which made him feel even more homesick.

He went to work bored and didn't get off work until after 10 o'clock in the evening. He was exhausted and decadently prepared to take a taxi back to his place of residence, but because it was the Chinese New Year, he couldn't get a taxi at all.

In the end, I could only buy a shared bicycle and ride it back. While riding, I was glad in my heart that the house I rented was relatively close to the company. I don’t know if this was considered a consolation.

When I walked into the community and approached the door of the corridor of my home, I inadvertently looked up and suddenly seemed to see that the lights of the house I rented seemed to be on.

He didn't care, so he entered the corridor, still thinking that maybe he was dazzled and there might be someone in his house.

It wasn't until I opened the door to the room, ready to change my slippers and hang the key on the door, that I saw a table full of food on the table. I realized something, ignored the keys and changed my shoes, and rushed to the kitchen.

I saw that familiar figure.

"Sister-in-law!"

"You're back and working overtime again. Why do you get off work so late? I'm ready to cook. Please wash your hands quickly and get ready to eat."

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Didn't I hear you say you missed me on the phone? There was nothing going on at home during this period, so I asked your brother to book a ticket for me to come over. Not only did I come over, but your uncle also came over."

"Where are you, uncle?" Zhang Yu said, looking around, "Uncle, uncle, where are you?"

"It's in the toilet."

For the next time, Zhang Yu sat between the two people, enjoying their love. He didn't even have to pick up the food himself. The two people had already finished the food.

The little aunt here put the dumplings next to him, "Here, have a taste."

Zhang Yu took a bite of the dumpling and said with some confusion: "Sister-in-law, this dumpling tastes so familiar!"

"You're familiar. I made these myself. I put them outside to freeze. I even added ice cubes to them when I was in the car. Don't you think they are the dumplings at home? Eat more, I

I brought a lot of it this time and put it in the refrigerator for you. If you want to eat it then, just put some down."

"Yeah, sister-in-law, you are so kind."

"Eat meat, don't just eat vegetables, eat meat! This chicken and mutton are all raised by our own family this year. You called last time and said that the meat outside is not delicious, so we raised a lot this year. When I came here

I killed a few and brought them all. I chopped them up in my hometown and divided them into portions. When the time comes, you can take out one portion and defrost it to make it. Our own meat is delicious."

"Uncle..."

Zhang Yu happily ate the food in the bowl and called his sister-in-law and uncle from time to time. The two old men also let him go. As long as he called, someone would answer.

While eating, Zhang Yu couldn't help but shed tears, and whispered: "It's so good! If only it could stay like this!"

When he woke up, Zhang Yu touched the moist corners of his eyes and cried.
