This year is the first Spring Festival for Chu Tianshu and Xiang Wanqing. According to custom, they should spend it with their parents and family.

After finishing the work at hand, it was already New Year's Eve. Chu Tianshu drove back to Qingyuan, picked up Xiang Wanqing, and went straight to the "Xanadu" community in Linjiang City.

Due to the large number of migrant workers returning home, the city seems much emptier than in the past, and the roads are no longer congested. The shops in the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and bright red couplets are posted at the door of every household. The air of the whole city is filled with the feeling of New Year.

Although the flavor of the New Year in the provincial capital is not as strong as that in Nanling County, it still gives people the same feeling: it’s the New Year.

During the Spring Festival last year, Chu Tianshu was taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and spent alone in a small guest house. He was accompanied by a white cat. In order to comfort Chu Tianshu's parents, everyone gathered in the old dormitory in Wangcheng County

Here, we spent an unforgettable New Year’s Eve night.

This year's New Year's Eve is very different from last year.

Ning Guangming took Li Ping and Ning Xin back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, and celebrated Ning Xin's grandfather's 80th birthday by the way; Wu Mengdie and Ling Rui spent the New Year with Mr. Ling in the "Banshan Huating" villa area in the city; Tan Yufen took Zhang Yingying and Zhang

The old man returned to his parents' house in Qingyuan. Since Zhang

After Wei's death, Wu Mengdie took the family to "Utopia" and they have never returned to Qingyuan. Tan Yufen wanted to go back to the dormitory of the instrument factory to see her elderly and frail parents during the Chinese New Year; after Wen Jiaqi pretended to be an expert, and

Together with my daughter Wenfang, we returned to Wenjialing early.

Those left behind in this paradise are Chu Tianshu's parents, Leng Xue's mother and son, and Yue Huanyan's old father, Mr. Yue.

There were neither too many nor too few people, so it was a bit difficult whether to celebrate the New Year in the city or county, or to spend the New Year in a "paradise".

According to the wishes of Chu Tianshu's parents, Chu Tianshu brought his new daughter-in-law Xiang Wanqing home for the first time to celebrate the New Year. Naturally, it is in line with customs to go back to his hometown. However, whether to take his grandson Xiao Congcong with him or not, Leng Xue and

What should Mr. Yue do? It was difficult to deal with this. Finally, Xiang Wanqing made the decision to live in "Utopia".

Since noon, Chu's mother has been preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, with Xiang Wanqing and Leng Xue helping her. The food is fragrant in the whole room.

Chu Tianshu was sitting in the yard drinking tea and chatting with Chu's father and Mr. Yue. One and a half year old little Congcong, who had just learned to walk, seemed to feel the festive atmosphere of the festival. He was babbling and calling grandpa, dancing and dancing.

cute.

Around six o'clock, the sky gradually became dark, and Chu Tianshu and the others entered the living room. Not long after they sat down, a burst of crackling firecrackers suddenly sounded outside the yard.

Chu Tianshu went out and saw that Wei Shijie was coming with Yan Jieyu.

Wei Shijie was carrying large and small bags of things in his hands, and Yan Jieyu was holding a child with a tiger-like head and a thick head in her arms, covering the child's ears with her hands.

When Chu Tianshu saw it, he was very surprised and asked: "Old Wei, why are you here at this time?"

Wei Shijie said: "Yeah, what else can we do? It's the New Year." As he said that, he ignored Chu Tianshu's confusion and shouted loudly into the room: "Dad, Mom, Xiaojie is coming home to celebrate the New Year. You two elders are here."

Are you welcome?"

When Chu's father and Chu's mother heard the shouting, they both came out to greet them.

"It's Xiaojie." Chu's father said, "Welcome, welcome."

"Quickly, come in, come in." Chu's mother reached out and took the child from Yan Jieyu's hand, scolding: "Xiaojie, please wear less clothes for the child. It's such a cold day."

The child is a little bit embarrassed and wants to cry.

Xiao Congcong in Leng Xue's hand saw his little brother and screamed. The child in Chu's mother's arms turned his eyes and saw the cheering Xiao Congcong, and then burst into tears and laughed.

After Qin Daming died, Wei Shijie took over all Qingtian Real Estate. Yan Jieyu went through the divorce procedures with the little fat boy Qin Shao, and still coaxed and raised the little fat boy as before. A few months later, Yan Jieyu gave birth to the baby

After a boy was born, they went for a DNA test and confirmed that it was the seed sown by Wei Shijie.

Chu Tianshu asked quietly: "Old Wei, why don't you stay at home to celebrate the New Year with your parents?"

Wei Shijie said with a smile: "They went to Australia for a trip, and they are probably soaking up the sun at the beach right now. Jieyu and I felt it was too calm, so we brought our children over here. It's the Chinese New Year, and we just want to be lively."

Suddenly there were three more people, especially a lively and lovely child. The large living room that originally seemed a little empty suddenly seemed a lot more crowded. Everyone sat around the table, facing a table full of hot and sumptuous meals.

You talk to me, talk and laugh, and have fun.

This situation aroused Mr. Yue's thoughts. He thought of Yue Huanyan who was far away in France, and couldn't help but quietly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

"Brother, do you miss your daughter?" Chu's father asked.

Mr. Yue sighed and said, "Yes, Huanyan, this kid, won't come back for the New Year. Alas! You live a good life at home, why go abroad? Is the moon in foreign countries rounder than in China?"

Wei Shijie came over and joked: "Uncle Yue, during the Chinese New Year next year, let Sister Huanyan take you to France to see if the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China."

"Huh, I'm not going." Mr. Yue said angrily: "Foreigners don't celebrate the Spring Festival, so how can they have the New Year atmosphere? Next year, I have to call her and Hua Yu back to spend it with everyone.

How nice it is to be reunited."

Leng Xue came over to comfort her and said, "Uncle Yue, sister Huanyan will bring you a grandson next year. You should be so happy that you can't smile from ear to ear."

Mr. Yue finally smiled.

The old man was not confused about the matter. He knew that Yue Huanyan was pregnant and was inconvenienced. He just looked at Xiang Wanqing, Yan Jieyu and the children in Xiao Congcong and Yan Jieyu's arms, and remembered that his daughter was here. Hearing Leng Xue say this

He said, his mood suddenly became much brighter.

Everyone else was well aware of the situation, but Xiang Wanqing was not sure about the situation. She came out of the kitchen with a plate in hand. Seeing that everyone was having fun, she asked curiously: "What are you laughing at?"

"They are teasing the children." Chu Tianshu interrupted: "Wan Qing, hurry up and serve the food."

Xiang Wanqing looked up at the electronic clock and said, "It's just past six o'clock, so it's still early."

Wei Shijie smiled, patted his belly and said, "I'm hungry, I'm hungry."

Yan Jieyu touched Wei Shijie and glared at him.

As a junior, he didn't mean what he said, but everyone still turned their attention to Chu's father and Chu's mother.

Father Chu asked Mr. Yue for his opinion with his eyes, and the old man nodded slightly.

Chu's mother said: "Wan Qing, let's eat early. It's nice to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Anyway, we have to make dumplings later."

Everyone got up and began to clear away the fruit plate on the coffee table and arrange the tables and chairs.

When he was ready, Wei Shijie said: "Mom, dad, can you set off the whip?"

It is a local custom to set off a firecracker before the New Year's Eve dinner to create a lively and festive atmosphere.

Chu Tianshu joked: "Old Wei, what are you anxious about? My father and mother have biological sons."

Wei Shijie ignored the laughter of everyone, grabbed a firecracker with 100,000 rings, and ran into the yard.

Chu Tianshu lit some incense and followed Wei Shijie out.

Yan Jieyu and Leng Xue also went out with their children in their arms, ready to watch the fun.

Mother Chu shouted: "Tianshu, Xiaojie, go outside the yard and don't scare the children."

Opening the courtyard door, Wei Shijie spread out the firecrackers on the ground.

Chu Tianshu squatted down and was about to light the fire when a bright car light swept over him. He quickly got up and was about to move the car over and set off the firecrackers.

An Audi drove over and stopped at the entrance of the yard.

Chu Tianshu subconsciously walked over and saw the car door open and two people getting out of the car. He suddenly stopped with surprise on his face: "Uncle, why are you here?"

Lin Guodong and a staff member came out of the car. He was wearing a dark gray windbreaker and a navy blue scarf. He nodded and smiled and said, "Why, uncle can have the New Year's Eve dinner, isn't he welcome?"

"How could it be? Welcome, welcome." Chu Tianshu turned around and shouted loudly: "Wan Qing, uncle is here!"

Xiang Wanqing was supporting Chu's mother and standing at the door. When she heard Chu Tianshu's shout, she was so surprised that she was so excited that she couldn't speak, with tears in her eyes.

Although Chu's father and Chu's mother did not know that Xiang Wanqing's uncle was a provincial or ministerial leader, they were not mentally prepared for this and were at a loss. On the contrary, Wei Shijie, who was familiar with him, stepped forward and said: "Uncle, come

It’s just right, let’s have New Year’s Eve dinner together.”

Only then did Xiang Wanqing wake up, hurriedly ran out, hugged Lin Guodong's arm, called "Uncle" with a smile, and asked: "Uncle, aren't you on a business trip to Beijing?"

"It's the New Year, and no one in the capital is taking care of my meal." Lin Guodong said with a smile, "So, I rushed back to have New Year's Eve dinner with everyone."

Xiang Wanqing had a phone call with Lin Guodong before and told her and Chu Tianshu about getting the certificates. When she learned that Lin Guodong was on a business trip in Beijing, she told him that she would spend the New Year with Chu Tianshu's parents this year.

Lin Guodong said, yes, and asked, where did you live?

Xiang Wanqing talked about the paradise community in Jiangbei.

Chu Tianshu said hurriedly: "Uncle, please come in and sit down."

Father Chu and Mother Chu came forward, and Chu Tianshu hurriedly introduced them to each other.

Lin Guodong shook hands with them and pulled Chu's father inside.

In the midst of the commotion, Leng Xue ducked out of the way with Xiao Congcong in her arms, entered the door and went upstairs. Xiao Congcong still turned his head and wanted to scream, but she covered her mouth.

Yan Jieyu winked at Wei Shijie, pulled him, and motioned him to go out.

Wei Shijie asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"Wan Qing's uncle is here, so we won't cause any trouble." Yan Jieyu said.

"Why?" Wei Shijie stuck his head in and said, "I think Wan Qing's uncle is quite amiable. I seem to have seen him somewhere." He continued walking inside.

"Look, everyone looks familiar." Yan Jieyu grabbed him again: "My family is celebrating the New Year, why should we join in the fun?"

"Where can we go during this Chinese New Year?" Wei Shijie was unhappy.

"Go back." Yan Jieyu said, "Come back tomorrow to pay New Year greetings. It won't be the same."
