On the early morning of New Year's Day, after paying New Year's greetings to grandpa, grandma, and aunt, Tang Xin and her brother, led by their father, returned to their old house to pay New Year's greetings.

It was still early when we got home. My uncle and third cousin hadn't gone out yet and were waiting for them at home. "Happy New Year to grandpa and grandma. Happy New Year to uncle and aunt. Happy New Year to third brother." Tang Xin and her brother hurriedly greeted several elders as soon as they entered the door. In the past, Tang Xin and the others would celebrate the New Year with their cousin on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but this year it must be later than them.

"Happy New Year, happy New Year." Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang were all smiles. Although yesterday was the Spring Festival with the fewest family members in the family in so many years, they received a call from their eldest grandson yesterday. The eldest grandson, who has been in the army for more than two years, finally got family leave. He specially applied to come back to visit relatives in the first month of the year because it is the first month of this year. The fourteenth old man will be sixty-six years old.

Sixty-sixth birthdays are very particular in our country. They must be celebrated in full and must be on the birthday of the lunar calendar. The custom in my hometown is to eat longevity noodles at noon on the birthday, and add miscellaneous sauce and spicy food to the longevity noodles. It was supposed to be a birthday party for guests and friends, but the old man thought it was too extravagant and wasteful.

"We party members don't talk like that. Just have a lively gathering with your family, as usual." The old man said. Considering the current situation, it was not suitable to handle it, so the uncle and Tang's father stopped insisting. They just agreed with the second uncle that they would bring their family back when the time came, so the second uncle's family did not come back when they were thirty.

It's better now. Being able to come back is the best birthday gift for Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang. The only regret is that Tang's mother can't come back in time. However, she was performing a task assigned by the state and had a more important mission. The old couple were only proud, but not dissatisfied.

"It's great that the eldest brother is back. I haven't seen the eldest brother for several years. I miss him so much." Zhan Bo was very happy to know that the eldest cousin was coming back. The eldest cousin was of their generation. He was the first to serve in the army. These brothers all followed him as an example. "When the eldest brother comes back, he must talk about the affairs of the army."

"Yes, we have to ask the eldest brother to tell us more about his time in the army." The third cousin also agreed.

After a few people chatted for a while, Tang's father took his two brothers out to pay New Year greetings. Tang Xin and his uncle were still responsible for receiving visiting guests at home.

I originally thought I wouldn't be able to see Jiang Wenbai this year, but I didn't expect that he would show up today.

"Happy New Year to Grandpa Jiang, happy New Year to Brother Xiaobai." Tang Xin greeted the two politely.

"Okay, have a great New Year, Sugar Baby. I haven't seen Sugar Baby grow taller again for so long." Grandpa Jiang greeted Tang Xin cheerfully.

Tang Xin was very happy to hear Grandpa Jiang praising her for growing taller. Everyone knew that height was a pain for her. Regardless of whether it was true or not, as long as someone praised her for growing taller, she would be happy.

"Okay, you two go and play. You don't have to stay here with us old men." Mr. Tang said.

Tang Xin immediately led Jiang Wenbai to their old place. After the two sat down, Tang Xin took out a bunch of delicious food as usual. Like last year, the two sat on the sofa and chatted while eating.

"Brother Xiaobai, didn't you attend that training camp? Why did you come back so soon? I thought I wouldn't see you during the Chinese New Year this year." Tang Xin asked her doubts.

"Originally, we planned to stay there until the end of the project, but I don't know what happened there. We were notified at short notice and all of us were asked to withdraw." Jiang Wenbai replied, and they were also confused.

"But I heard that we are the first batch to be withdrawn, and everyone will be withdrawn one after another." Jiang Wenbai continued to talk about the gossip he had heard.

Although he didn't know the specific time, Tang Xin remembered that there was such a period of time in history. Relations between the two countries have become sour. The other side has withdrawn all experts who assisted in construction, and our experts have also withdrawn from abroad. Then the days of mobilizing the whole country to pay off the debt began.

Ah, yes, it seems to coincide with the years of natural disasters. Those difficult years are probably coming soon. Fortunately, the family had stored a lot of food in advance, and Tang Xin gradually relaxed, okay, okay.

But then, she felt a little powerless. She knew the course of history but could do nothing. She could only be a bystander with a cold eye. This feeling was very bad.

Sensing Tang Xin's sudden frustration, Jiang Wenbo asked, "Tangbao, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy? If it's like what I heard, Aunt Chen will probably come back soon." Jiang Wenbo shifted. Topic, say something that can make Tang Xin happy.

"Yeah, if it's like what you said, then my mother will be back soon, which is a good thing. I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her so much." After Tang Xingang finished speaking, he immediately felt that he had said the wrong thing. , Jiang Wenbai hadn't seen her parents for a long time. She looked at Jiang Wenbai carefully and saw that his expression was as usual, and he didn't seem to be affected by her words.

Seeing Tang Xin's little expression, Jiang Wenbai didn't react at first, but when he did, he laughed. "What's that expression on your face? I'm so old, you don't need to worry anymore."

Tang Xin looked at his expression and confirmed that he really didn't take it to heart, then she patted her chest with relief. She was really afraid of hurting the child's young heart.

Seeing Tang Xin's exaggerated expression, Jiang Wenbai couldn't help laughing loudly. Grandpa Jiang outside the house couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Xiao Bai has been sensible since he was a child. Especially in the past few years since he came back to study, he has become more and more calm. He always has a serious face at a young age, so he can only follow When the sugar baby is together, he will be a little lively and energetic as a child of this age should be."

"That's because these two children are destined to be together. Do you think these two children are childhood sweethearts?" The aunt who was serving tea aside said with a smile.

Several elders present became interested for a while. In fact, it was quite good to think about it. They were all children who had watched them grow up. They knew everything about it and their family backgrounds were similar. But the children were still too young, and it was too early to talk about this now, so they all tacitly agreed not to continue the topic, but this incident left a mark in the hearts of several elders.

The people in the room had no idea. The two were still discussing happily. Jiang Wenbai revealed that he would continue his studies in high school after next spring and then take the college entrance examination in the second half of the year.

When he went home that night, Grandpa Jiang told his wife what happened at the Tang family today, and Grandma Jiang was very happy.

"It would be great if this were really the case. If the sugar baby could become our granddaughter-in-law, then I would be able to laugh out of my dreams."

"Yes, we have watched this child grow up, and we all know it. Not to mention us, Xiaobai's mother must also be happy, because she likes the sugar baby so much. By the way, the sugar baby is also our Xiaobai's savior." Grandpa Jiang remembered the first time they came to visit, just to thank Tang's father.

"Old man, do you think this is fate? Don't say I'm superstitious. There's something about this. Is it destined a long time ago?" Grandma Jiang had obviously thought of this.

"Let's not talk about whether this is destined. Let's just talk about the relationship between the two families. Putting aside the old chief, just as a sugar baby's parents, Xiaobai is the most suitable and suitable." Grandpa Jiang analyzed calmly.

"Yes, hey, it's a pity that the children are too young. It's too early to say this, but I really hope that Sugar Baby can be my granddaughter-in-law." Grandma Jiang said.

"Okay, who knows what will happen in the future. If these two children are really destined, we will definitely provide strong support. Okay, it's late, it's time to go to bed." Grandpa Jiang said, got up, turned off the lights, and rested.

They didn't know that the conversation just now was overheard by Jiang Wenbai who got up to go to the toilet at night. Although he didn't hear everything, he heard everything that should be heard. The little boy's face was flushed at the moment. After returning to the room, he couldn't stand it for a long time. Fall asleep, him and sugar baby? Is it really possible? He couldn't help but think of that day in the study room of Grandpa Tang's house. The sun shone on Tang Bao's face. She excitedly talked about her ideal look, which lingered in his mind for a long time.

In fact, his heartbeat had already taken root in his heart unconsciously.

Forgive me for being a 12-year-old boy who has never thought about this problem, let alone a girl who has always been treated as a younger sister. So for a long time, he didn't take the initiative to play with Tang Xin and Zhan Bo. He was embarrassed, but Tang Xin and the others didn't pay attention. They were all busy with their studies and life, looking forward to a better tomorrow.

With expectations for this day, time passed quickly, and soon it was the tenth day of the first lunar month, and the cousin came back.
