At the New Year's Eve dinner table of Zhao Qinglan's family, there was one more person than before, and that was the new son-in-law Zhou Jinsheng.
In the past few years, during the Chinese New Year, Zhou Jinsheng was either on duty in the military camp or was called to his uncle Zhou Hai's house.
Although Zhou Hai's family treated him well, Zhou Jinsheng still felt a little reserved celebrating the New Year there.
But things are different now. Ever since he got married, he has been eating here a lot, and his wife's family are also very kind to him. Now he feels very comfortable having everyone eat New Year's Eve dinner together.
Because the next door was spacious, after Zhao Qingju came to the family area, she did not live with her eldest sister Zhao Qinglan, but lived next door with her mother. Mother and daughter lived in the same house.
With a new son-in-law, this New Year’s Eve dinner was even more sumptuous than the previous two years.
Both adults and children are very happy.
Sanwa finally doesn’t have to be greedy this time during the Chinese New Year, and can also eat some of the food on the table.
After dinner, everyone went to the yard to set off fireworks.
Zhou Jinsheng, the uncle, is also very popular with the children now. Li Huai doesn't talk much in daily life, but he is more serious when he is serious.
Zhou Jinsheng, on the other hand, is more easy-going. He is watching the fireworks with his second baby sitting on his shoulders.
When he learned that his wife was pregnant, he fell in love with the child even more.
Zhao Qingzhu saw her husband's appearance, touched her belly that was not yet pregnant, and smiled softly. Her husband would definitely be a very good father in the future.
In Beijing, Li Zhenhua’s family of three also had New Year’s Eve dinner.
While eating, Yu Huimin suddenly spoke.
"Li Huai, won't you come back during the Chinese New Year?" she tried.
Because one of her sons was in prison and the other was in a military camp, neither mother nor son really knew what the current father-son relationship between Li Huai and Zhenhua was like.
Hearing her ask about his eldest son, Li Zhenhua was startled. "Don't worry about him, just eat."
Seeing that her husband was avoiding talking about it, Yu Huimin couldn't figure it out, and she became more and more worried.
However, she didn't dare to continue asking, so she could only stop.
After all, the most important thing for her now is to stabilize her position in the family and the relationship with her husband.
Although he didn't want to talk more, Yu Huimin's words still made Li Zhenhua feel depressed.
The eldest son is determined not to have any contact with him. He can't even see his grandsons. Counting the days, the younger grandson should be able to walk and call people by now.
Although his wife is much calmer now, he doesn't want to talk about his eldest son with her when he thinks of the things his wife has done.
Since they hate each other, don't force them to have a harmonious relationship. He was still too naive before.
This year, because of the reform and opening up conference, there were more celebrations and laughter than in previous years.
Everyone has beautiful visions and hopes for the future.
The first day of the Lunar New Year is still spent visiting New Year greetings and entertaining guests.
In the second and third grade of junior high school, Zhao Qinglan and the others didn’t have any relatives, so they just had family dinners together.
Zhao Qingju is always asked about it or enthusiastically introduced to her, and she blushes countless times.
As soon as the second daughter got married, Mrs. Sun did worry about the younger daughter's life-long affairs, but she was not so anxious.
Now she only has a little girl at home, and she wants to keep her for another year or two. Besides, she has to find a good and suitable partner slowly, and there is no rush.
For example, the son-in-law Jinsheng was carefully selected by them.
Marriage is a lifelong event, but it should not be taken lightly.
Such enthusiasm scared Zhao Qingju to the point where she hurried back to the city before opening the store.
Because the army primary school did not start until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ms. Sun was worried that her little girl would go back to live alone, so she followed her into the city.
This time they returned, they received a package.
Seeing the address to which it was sent, Mrs. Sun fell silent.
The girls kept it secret from her, but she already knew about the children's father's visit.
After Zhao Qingzhu got married, Zhao Qingju returned to the city and found the money notes her father had pressed under his pillow. Although it was not much, it was all that Mr. Zhao could afford.
Zhao Qingju called Zhao Qinglan. When Zhao Qinglan was talking to his sister, he didn't realize that his mother, who went next door to deliver things to her sister, happened to be back.
The daughters didn't say anything, so Sun pretended not to know.
Now that she saw these country specialties sent to her, she knew whose intentions they were.
Zhao Qingju was still trembling, fearing that her mother would ask something. Seeing that her mother didn't say anything and only carried the things in, she was still a little confused.
When she called her eldest sister to reveal it, Zhao Qinglan quickly guessed the truth.
"If mom doesn't tell you, you just pretend you don't know anything."
The belated affection is as cheap as grass, why did you go there earlier? Although Zhao Qinglan feels that Boss Zhao, his biological father, is a bit pitiful now, but he will not sympathize with him, just think of him as atonement for the mistakes he committed in the past.
Because Boss Zhao suddenly came over, Zhao Qinglan also contacted the village party secretary of Zhaojia Village to inquire.
The village party secretary apologized profusely, but he did not hesitate to say good things for Mr. Zhao. At the same time, he also informed Zhao Qinglan about the situation of the Zhao family.
Zhao Qinglan did not expect that the third room of the Zhao family would fall apart, but she only found it ironic when she found out.
There was no common enemy and no one to exploit, and because of her, the conflicts between several families were intensified. It turned out that the family was nothing more than that.
She must not be able to force a whole family to become an old feudal lord, and her selfish grandma will not be happy either.
Mrs. Zhao was more than just unhappy.
She broke her eldest son's heart and drove the eldest son, who was the most foolish and filial to her, out of the house.
And because he cared about his younger son, he lived with his second son, but while living with his second oldest son, he still missed his younger son.
This also makes the conflict between the second brother and the third brother Zhao Lao more and more serious.
Mrs. Zhao wanted all the benefits, but in the end she became a human being. She was rejected by her two sons. Even her daughters-in-law didn't respect her very much now. Her life was becoming more and more miserable day by day.
However, no one in the village sympathized with her, and they all felt that she deserved it for herself.
In addition to the Zhao family, Zhao Qinglan also had a phone call with Sui Wenjing a few years ago and asked about the Wang family.
After all, she had always remembered Wang Dazhi's escape, and was afraid that this guy would suddenly show up and do something.
Sui Wenjing said that she had not heard about Wang Dazhi's arrest, and she did not know anything about the Wang family's situation.
For a scum like Wang Dazhi, Zhao Qinglan could only curse him for not having a good end. If there was no news, it would be best to die outside in an accident, so that she would not have to worry about this scumbag's revenge.
However, Wang Dazhi is still alive and well. He is now working hard in Hong Kong City.
A person like him who had committed a crime could not survive in the mainland where population movement was strictly regulated. With no choice but to do so, he followed a few people and smuggled into the port city.
Apart from a few British people, all the people in Hong Kong are Chinese, and festivals like the Spring Festival are celebrated equally.
In exile, Wang Dazhi was also thinking about the good fortune of his family. Likewise, he was gnashing his teeth with hatred towards Zhao Qinglan, his ex-wife who had almost ruined his "life".
Zhao Qinglan's worries are correct. Whenever Wang Dazhi finds an opportunity, he will definitely take revenge.
Beneath the seemingly peaceful and happy life, there are still crises hidden.
