Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

When Jiang Yan entered the house, the food had already been prepared, and she smelled the fragrance as soon as she entered the house.

"Yanyan is back, come in, is it cold outside?"

"It's a bit cold, but it smells so good, Mom. What did you and Aunt do that smells so good?" She said as she took off her scarf and took a breath.

Ning Yu hadn't taken off her apron yet. "Today's New Year's Eve dinner is the highlight. I didn't dare to cook, so I helped out. These are all dishes made by your aunt. They are so delicious."

"Aunt, you have worked so hard. I didn't help at all, and now I just come back and eat ready-made food."

Si Xinnian has been taking the medicine prescribed by Jiang Yan, and now she looks completely different. Compared to when she just woke up, she looks much better, has gained some weight, and is obviously much stronger than before.

Now her ties with the Wang family are completely severed, and the three children... humph, let’s not talk about them.

She is recuperating at her parents' home and living a comfortable life. Her brother and sister-in-law treat her well, her old father is still around, and her niece, nephew and such a good niece-in-law are all around her. She is content.

When spring comes, she will go back to work, and the days that follow will be relaxing and happy.

"What's the big deal? It's just cooking a few dishes. It's not tiring."

Si Xinnian's change was really huge. Jiang Yan and her had only dealt with each other a few times before, but they always had bad luck. Jiang Yan looked down on her and thought that Si Xinnian had a mean face and did not inherit the good looks of the Si family, but had a turbid face.

But now Si Xinnian has completely changed his appearance. His facial features have become softer, and there is no greed or aggressiveness in his eyes. He looks like he is five years younger and much more beautiful.

"Thank you, Auntie. After dinner, I'll help you make dumplings."

"Okay, your aunt's stuffing is really delicious, let's make two kinds of stuffing, one with beef and one with cabbage and pork."

Ning Yu finished speaking and immediately added: "I'll have to trouble you again. Go to the Jiang family and invite the whole family over. We agreed to celebrate the New Year at our house. I've prepared two big tables."

"Okay, Mom, let's go then."

"Okay, let's go!"

The two put on their scarves, got on their bikes, and rushed to the Jiang family's courtyard.

Lights were on inside and outside the courtyard, and couplets and the word "Fu" were posted on the gate. The family was packing up, and not only were they wearing new clothes, they were also preparing many gifts.

"Happy New Year to grandma and grandpa."

"Auntie, Happy New Year."

Si Lu was sweet-mouthed and rushed to call everyone, "Dad, big brother, happy new year."

"Okay, we're just waiting for you two to invite us." Uncle Weng said with a smile, "We are all ready and can set off at any time."

The middle school boy Jiang Chuancheng was not happy. He stepped in front of Si Lu and said, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean? You've asked me before, why don't you ask me?"

Jiang Ci raised his hand and slapped him, "Why are you so disrespectful? Shouldn't you take the initiative to wish your brother-in-law a happy new year?"

"You're still hitting people on New Year's Day. Sister, brother-in-law, happy New Year."

The whole family laughed, and even Jiang Chuanjun couldn't help curling his lips. He wore a brand new military coat, a high-necked sweater underneath, and a military green tweed jacket, looking very energetic.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's stop being so formal, let's go, let's go."

Without turning off the lights, they locked the door and left the alley together.

The whole family soon arrived at the Si family's house. Ning Yu had been looking forward to it for a long time and hurried out to greet them. Even Si Xinnian came out.

"Uncle, aunt, happy new year."

"relatives by marriage……"

"This is my sister-in-law. Thanks to her for cooking today."

The Jiang family also heard about Si Xinnian's affairs. Everyone showed a warm smile and did not introduce her to the Si family at all. Many older generations have feudal ideas and believe that married daughters cannot spend the New Year at their parents' home, but the Jiang family does not seem to think so, which makes Si Xinnian feel relieved.

"This is my daughter, Sizhen, Zhenzhen, call her."

Si Zhen had already sorted out the relationships among the Jiang family members. She stepped forward and called out to each of them one by one, "Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma, Happy New Year, Auntie, Happy New Year, Uncles and Brothers."

Well, it has nothing to do with Jiang’s inheritance!

Fortunately, Jiang Chuancheng would not let him down at the critical moment and quickly sang some good New Year's greetings.

The Si family was small, and the two heads had not returned yet, so he said casually, "Auntie, happy New Year, happy New Year, sister."

"Oh, this child is so energetic, he is indeed our Yanyan's younger brother."

"It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

The scene was very lively.

As soon as she entered the house, Jiang Yan quickly took off her outer coat, hat, scarf and other items.

While everyone was greeting each other, Si Lu took Jiang Yan's things upstairs. When he came down, he changed his clothes and wore a white shirt inside and a woolen waistcoat outside.

It was exactly the one Jiang Yan had knitted for him before.

"Is it cold?"

Si Lu shook his head.

There is no such thing as central heating now. Although they live in a single-family building, they still have to heat their own stove. This house is for old cadres to live in. Although it is a slab building, the walls are also insulated in the old way. As long as the stove is lit, the house will be warm. It can maintain about 20 degrees in winter, and wearing a sweater is enough to keep warm.

The Jiang family also took off their coats and hats and other cold-proof items.

There was a special stool at the door. Si Lu and Jiang Yan silently folded their clothes and put their scarves and gloves on it.

Si Xinnian and Si Zhen were busy making tea for everyone. Ning Yu said apologetically, "Our old man and Guangming will be busy for a while. I'm afraid they will be back late. We can't have dinner earlier today."

"Oh, they are people who do big things, serious things."

"That's right. It's not easy for the old commander and his men. At this time, there are more things to do. We are not hungry, right? It's a good opportunity to talk to everyone."

The atmosphere was quite lively.

Si Xinnian found an opportunity and quietly called Ning Yu aside.

"Sister-in-law, when will dad and big brother come back?"

"It's hard to say. In the past, we couldn't even have this meal at home. We went to the troops, visited them, or had some big party. We couldn't even eat dumplings at home in the middle of the night. But your brother specifically said he would come home for dinner today, so let's wait a little longer."

Televisions were a rare commodity in that era, and there was no Spring Festival Gala, so we could only pass the time by eating peanuts, melon seeds, and candies.

"Yanyan, aren't you hungry? Otherwise, you can eat something first."

Jiang Yan has always had a big appetite, and she was indeed hungry, so she had already digested the little she had eaten at noon.

"Mom, I'm fine. For a family reunion dinner, the whole family has to sit together and eat. There are apples, so I'll have one. It's a good opportunity for us to chat."

Jiang Yan took the apple. Apple is the most common fruit in winter. Jiang Yan didn’t like it in the past, but today, she didn’t know what happened. She found the apple fragrant and tempting when she smelled it.

Si Lu took the apple from Jiang Yan's hand, peeled it with a knife, and finally put the peeled apple back into her hand.
