Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1331

"Come and have an egg, you're lucky!" Zhang Guifang handed an egg to everyone.

After breakfast, everyone in the courtyard began to greet each other. Because Zhang Yu was still in mourning, he hurried back to his room and closed the door.

If a parent or elder in the family has just passed away, you cannot visit other people's homes to wish them a happy new year, and you cannot accept new year wishes from others at home.

Closing the door is a way of telling others that they don't need to come to your house to wish you a happy new year.

When posting couplets on the 29th, he deliberately posted blue couplets and two pieces of paper money on his door.

He spent the New Year at his aunt's house because he knew that his aunt loved him and would not let him spend the New Year alone, and that she would not care about these things.

But just because his family doesn't care doesn't mean others won't mind, so after breakfast, he closed the door early.

Looking at her nephew closing the door, and then turning her head to see the blue couplet pasted on the door, Zhang Guifang couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

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

Even though a lot of time has passed, she still feels sad whenever she thinks about it. She holds back her tears, thinking that today is New Year's Day, and forces herself to smile.

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

When he married his wife, he was really penniless. He thought his brother and sister-in-law would not agree to the marriage. Unexpectedly, after just examining his character, his brother and sister-in-law agreed to his proposal.

Even the place where they were going to get married was found by his brother and sister-in-law. Then, fearing that it would hurt his self-esteem, they sent it to him in a roundabout way, and he rented it himself for very little money.

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

It was also at that time that he found out that his brother and sister-in-law had searched for that house for a long time and asked many people for help before they were able to rent it.

The reason why the rent was so cheap was because the two of them paid most of the rent in advance and didn't let anyone tell him.

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

Everything from food for his wife during pregnancy to clothes and blankets for the children after they were born was prepared by his sister-in-law. Because he had no parents, his wife was taken care of by his sister-in-law after the birth of several children.

Even when her third and fourth children were born and her sister-in-law was not here, she still specially invited her mother and sister-in-law from her natal family to take care of her during the confinement period.

When it comes to the help that my brother and sister-in-law have given to their family, it would take more than a day or two to describe.

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

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

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

He didn't feel anything in the past few days when he was busy preparing for the New Year. But today when he suddenly had some free time, especially after he closed the door and saw the hustle and bustle outside, suddenly a feeling of loneliness slowly swept over him and enveloped him, making him feel so lonely in this bustling world!
After watching his aunt and uncle's family go out to pay New Year's greetings, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were so quiet that he could hear a pin drop, and the only sound was his own breathing.

He felt homesick, missing his home in the 21st century. Slowly he fell asleep and had a beautiful dream.

I dreamed that nothing happened to him at that time, and rebirth was just his fantasy.

He just took a nap on the table, and after waking up he continued to work as usual.

The company did not give a holiday during the Chinese New Year this year. He worked overtime while cursing the company in his heart. He also called his aunt to complain about the company not giving a holiday. He missed his aunt and home.

While comforting him, his aunt showed him the New Year's Eve dinner, which made him miss home even more.

He worked in boredom and didn't get off work until after 10 o'clock in the evening. He was exhausted and was ready to take a taxi back to his place, but because it was New Year's Day, there was no taxi at all.

In the end, I could only scan a shared bicycle and ride back. While riding, I was glad that the house I rented was close to the company. I don’t know if this can be considered a consolation.

When I was walking into the community and almost reaching the entrance of my building, I looked up inadvertently and suddenly seemed to see that the lights in the house I rented seemed to be on.

I didn't pay much attention to it and walked into the corridor, still thinking that maybe I was seeing things, there was no way there was anyone in my house.

It was not until I opened the door, prepared to change into slippers and hang the key on the door, and saw a table full of food, that I realized something. I ignored the key and changed shoes, and rushed to the kitchen, where I saw that familiar figure.

"Sister-in-law!"

"You're back. You've been working overtime again. Why do you get off work so late? I've prepared dinner. Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat."

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

"I heard you say on the phone that you missed me. Since I didn't have anything to do at home during this period, I asked your brother to book a ticket for me to come here. Not only did I come, but your uncle came too."

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

"In the bathroom."

In the following time, Zhang Yu sat between the two people, enjoying their love and care. He didn't need to pick up any food for himself, as the food picked up by the two people was more than he could finish.

The aunt put the dumplings next to him and said, "Come, have a taste."

Zhang Yu took a bite of the dumpling and said with some doubt: "Aunt, this dumpling tastes so familiar!"

"Look familiar, right? I made this myself and left it outside to freeze. I added ice cubes to it when I was in the car and brought it here. You want dumplings from home, right? Eat more. I brought a lot this time and put it in the refrigerator for you. Just add some when you want to eat."

"Yeah, you're so nice, aunt."

"Eat meat, don't just eat vegetables, eat meat! This chicken and mutton are all raised by our family this year. You called last time and said that the meat outside was not tasty, so we specially raised a lot this year. I killed a few when I came here, and I brought them all with me. I chopped them up for you in my hometown and divided them into portions. When the time comes, you can take out a portion and thaw it and cook it. Our own meat smells delicious."

"Uncle..."

Zhang Yu ate the food in the bowl happily, calling out "aunt" and "uncle" from time to time. The two old people just let him do what he wanted, and as long as he called out, someone would answer.

Zhang Yu couldn't help shedding tears while eating, and whispered, "That's great! I wish it could always be like this!"

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

"Come and have an egg, you're so lucky!" Zhang Guifang handed everyone an egg. After breakfast, everyone in the courtyard began to greet each other. Zhang Yu, who was still in mourning, hurried back to his room and closed the door.
