Lu Chuyao dressed up a bit, put on the same woolen coat as Song Mingze's couple's outfit, tied a red scarf around his neck, and then went out.

Grandma Song chased after her with half a sweet potato and two eggs in her hand, "Eat breakfast before you go, aren't you hungry?"

Naturally, Lu Chuyao couldn't refuse the old man's concern, so he had to stop and pick up an egg from the bowl, peel it slowly, chew it carefully and finish it, "Grandma, one egg is enough for me, and the rest will be heated in the pot." , wait until we come back in the evening to solve it, or you can eat it by yourself at noon."

On the way to their parents' home, a family of three met many villagers who wanted to chat with them. Because the end of the year was the time when the group had the largest number of people, and there was no farm work to do in the winter, they wandered around in a panic.

After meeting Song Mingze, the young men's eyes suddenly lit up. They stood in a row like little brothers paying homage to their elder brother and shouted: "Brother Mingze".

Song Mingze slightly curled his lips, smiled and nodded, "I want to accompany my wife and children to my father-in-law's house now, and I will come and play when I have time."

The eyes of the young people who received the invitation became brighter and they nodded their heads, indicating that they would definitely go.

The half-dry ground was filled with wet mud and puddles, and soon the soles of their shoes were extremely dirty.Lu Chuyao tugged on his scarf and gasped, "Are you tired? Why don't you let me hold you instead?"

It must be tiring for my son, who is wearing too much clothes and is heavy in his arms.

Song Mingze raised his hand to wipe away the snot from his son's nose. His gentle voice was crushed in the wind. Lu Chuyao didn't hear it clearly. She raised her head and looked at her husband's profile. Then she realized that as a senior Yan, even if she was facing this face every day, she got to know him. The face still cannot be desensitized.

Arriving outside the gate of Lu's house, Lu Chuyao was hot and thirsty, with sticky sweat on her neck. She stretched out her palms and slapped the door, shouting, "Mom, Dad, is anyone home?"

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Lu Haoyang took advantage of his long legs to open the door first.

Lu Haoyang was overjoyed to see his sister and her husband. He hugged his sister with a big smile and said, "It's good to be back." Then he enthusiastically took the heavy object from his sister's hand. While looking at Song Zhiyu curiously, he looked at her and asked lovingly, "Xiao Yu, Do you still know your uncle?"

Song Mingze lowered his head slightly and taught his son to call him uncle.

"Uncle~" He followed his father's example and said the word "uncle" in a sweet voice, which made Lu Haoyang feel happy.

Lu Jianguo and Li Miaohua, who were following behind, almost narrowed their eyes when they saw their daughter and grandson's happy eyes. Li Miaohua took her grandson out of her son-in-law's arms and shouted darlingly. Her doting attitude made Lu Zigui jealous.

He curled his lips and stood aside. Everyone in the family gathered around his little cousin, including his own parents.In comparison, he is just a weed that no one cares about!

The indignant expression of the middle school boy was noticed by Song Mingze, who was attentive. He took off his black scarf and walked to his nephew, "I brought you a New Year's gift, do you want to take a look?"

The young man raised his head in surprise, "What gift!" The sense of ceremony represented by the four words New Year's gift directly made Lu Zigui throw away the anger and jealousy just now.

"It's in the army green package your aunt brought. Come on, follow me to get it." He held his nephew's hand and walked slowly to the package.

Lu Chuyao looked over with a smile, and Lu Zigui called her aunt in a low voice.

"I seem to have grown a lot taller, are you in the first grade?" She bent down, put her hands on her knees and looked level with her nephew.

Lu Zigui hated it when adults asked about his studies, but when faced with his aunt, who had loved him since he was a child, he calmed down and replied, "Well, I have already completed one semester, and I can go to the second grade in the second half of next year."

"Aunt, uncle said he bought me a New Year's gift."

Yao Minghui, the sister-in-law who had sorted out the kitchen waste, heard her son asking for a gift as soon as she entered the house. Her face darkened and she quickly stepped forward to pull his ears.

Lu Chuyao hurriedly stopped his sister-in-law and asked her not to hit the child. Originally, Lu Zigui had done nothing wrong.

"Everyone has a New Year's gift. Come on, Zigui. This is the cannon model your uncle brought specially for you."

Lu Zigui screamed in surprise, jumping around in circles holding the gift, and he was crazy with joy.He wanted to run out immediately to show off to his friends and look at the cannon that his uncle, who was an officer in the army, brought him!

Speechless, Lu Haoyang stretched his arms around his son and covered his mouth with his hand, "If you keep arguing, I'll beat you."

Song Zhiyu, who was surrounded by his grandfather, stared at his older cousin intently, his eyes full of desire to go to the ground and play with him.

Unfortunately, everyone was immersed in the happy atmosphere of the New Year's gifts distributed by Lu Chuyao, and no one paid attention to Xiao Douding's mood.

Even grandpa Lu Jianguo almost lost his temper after receiving the cigarettes and wine from his daughter and son-in-law.

"Mom, I bought you warm clothes that you can wear to sleep in. They are very warm."

Li Miaohua yelled at her daughter for spending money indiscriminately, "You are a waste of money, how much did you spend to buy these things." The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, and she was afraid that her son-in-law would have objections.

Song Mingze, who has high emotional intelligence, immediately said, "Mom, you have to spend the money you should spend. What's more, this is Chuyao's filial piety towards you and your father. I also support it. Usually Chuyao and I are not around to take care of you, so we can only use this Let’s express our feelings.”

The sincere words fell into the ears of the old couple, and their love for their son-in-law reached its peak.

The family was happily giving out gifts and chatting about home affairs. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.The male voice coming from far away was not clear. Lu Haoyang put down the gift in his hand and strode out of the main room to open the door.

After a while, three or four young adults came in behind him.

These people were all neighbors of the Lu family and were two years older than Lu Chuyao. They all greeted Lu's father and mother in unison.

Lu Jianguo let go of his grandson who was struggling to go to the ground to play, and told Lu Zigui to take good care of his younger brother. Then he raised his eyelids and looked at the young people standing in the middle, "Aping, what are you...?"

The leader, A Ping, is the oldest among the group. He has a stable character and knows how to do things. He is a good hand in the fields and is quite popular among the elders.

Ah Ping glanced at Song Mingze, who was leaning on the back of a high chair, and replied: "Uncle, we are here to see brother Mingze."

"Oh? What do you want from Mingze? He and his daughter just came home yesterday."

A Ping was a little hesitant to raise the issue. Others standing next to him became anxious and pushed each other. Some people secretly touched A Ping's back with their elbows.

"Actually, we want to ask Brother Mingze for help, help us brothers find a way to see if there is anything to do." After telling the most difficult beginning, Aping simply let go and continued, "Uncle, you know The situation of several of our families is that due to the weather last year, the harvest of the entire brigade was not good, and we worked hard all year round but could not see much money."

"My wife will give birth in March next year. My eldest son also needs money to study. My parents are not in good health. If I don't find a way to work, how will the whole family survive?"
