I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

The New Year is getting closer, and the entire Zhaoguo Mansion is immersed in a festive atmosphere.

Chen Jia and Chen Jue decided to stay up together at home to welcome the arrival of the new year.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and Chen Jia and Chen Jue got up early to start preparing for the New Year. The first thing they had to do was to post Spring Festival couplets.

Chen Jue took out the Spring Festival couplets that he had prepared long ago from the house. On the couplets were written "Red plum blossoms smile to welcome spring, jade rabbit comes to step into spring". The handwriting was strong and powerful, revealing a strong festive atmosphere.

He stood on a stool and carefully pasted one end of the Spring Festival couplet on the door frame. Then he turned to Chen Jia who was standing below and said, "Sister, do you think I pasted it straight?"

Chen Jia smiled, narrowed her eyes, and looked carefully at the position of the Spring Festival couplets.

"A little further to the left. Yes, right there. Okay, it's just right!"

Chen Jue followed Chen Jia's instructions and pasted the Spring Festival couplets neatly. Looking at the red Spring Festival couplets, their faces were filled with joyful smiles, as if the good luck of the New Year had been pasted on the door of their home with the Spring Festival couplets.

"Sister, do you remember when we were little? We always looked forward to the Chinese New Year because we could wear new clothes and eat delicious food."

"Of course I remember. You were so naughty back then. You were as excited as a little monkey every Chinese New Year."

After putting up the Spring Festival couplets, Chen Jia and Chen Jue started to clean the house. Chen Jia walked into the bedroom first, picked up a clean rag and shook it gently. The soft rag was like a light cloud in her hand.

She walked to the cabinet at the head of the bed, bent down slightly, folded the rag neatly in half, and began to wipe the corners of the cabinet. Her fingers tightly grasped the rag and gently slid along the edge of the cabinet, as if she was touching a precious treasure.

Her eyes were focused and serious, and she looked at every corner carefully, afraid of missing a speck of dust.

"Ajue, please tidy up the desk in the study and put the books in order."

"Okay, sister, I'll go right away."

Chen Jue responded in the study and began to sort out the books. He walked to the table, looked at the messy pile of books, frowned slightly, and then his eyes became firm.

He first stretched out his hands, picked up the books on the table one by one, and shook them gently to let the dust stuck between the pages fall down.

"Sister, I have read all these books. Does that mean I have gained a lot of knowledge?"

"You, it's not enough to just read books, you have to put what you learn into practice."

Chen Jue sorted the books by size and type, putting the same type of books together. His fingers nimbly flipped through the books, like a nimble dancer dancing on the stage.

He placed some frequently used books in the upper right corner of the table, neatly arranged with almost equal spacing between books, so that they could be easily accessed at any time. As for those books that he seldom read, he carefully stacked them on the bookshelf, inserting them vertically one by one, carefully looking at the spines to ensure that they were arranged neatly and orderly.

After finishing the books, he picked up the rag, wrapped it around his hand a few times, held one end, and began to wipe the tabletop. His arm moved back and forth vigorously, and the rag quickly wiped across the tabletop, as if to wipe away all the fatigue of the past year.

His eyes were focused on the table, not missing any stains. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, but there was a satisfied smile on his face.

Chen Jia walked out of the bedroom and saw that the floor of the living room was dusty, so she picked up the broom and started to sweep. She held the broom handle with both hands, tilted the broom slightly, and waved it gently. The bristles of the broom gently passed over the ground, like a breeze blowing over the lake, bringing up pieces of dust.

Her eyes followed the movement of the broom, starting from the corner of the living room and slowly moving towards the middle.

"Sister, do you think I mopped it clean?"

"It's clean. Jue is really capable."

"Haha, of course. I'm going to clean the house thoroughly to welcome the New Year."

They worked in perfect harmony, and soon the whole house was cleaned. The sunlight came in through the windows, shining on the tidy house, making it look particularly warm.

Before they knew it, it was evening, night was falling, and the sound of firecrackers outside began to ring out one after another. Chen Jia and Chen Jue began to prepare their New Year's Eve dinner - hot pot.

They placed an exquisite copper hot pot in the middle of the table. The soup base in the pot was the chicken soup that Chen Jue had carefully prepared, and it was fragrant. Chen Jia was preparing various ingredients on the side, including fresh lamb slices, green vegetables, various meatballs, bean curd, fungus, etc., filling up a large table.

Chen Jue lit the hot pot and watched the soup in the pot gradually boil. An expression of excitement appeared on his face.

"Sister, the hot pot can start!"

He said to Chen Jia with a smile. Chen Jia put the ingredients into the pot one by one. After a while, the pot became lively, and various foods jumped up and down in the boiling soup, emitting tempting aroma.

They sat around the table and began to enjoy the delicious hot pot. Chen Jue picked up a piece of mutton and put it in Chen Jia's bowl.

"Sister, you should eat more mutton. It keeps you warm in winter."

"You made this soup really well. It tastes delicious."

"I learned this on purpose, just to make you happy while eating."

They ate hot pot and chatted, recalling the past year and looking forward to the beauty of the new year.

After eating hot pot, Chen Jia and Chen Jue sat in the living room, ready to stay up all night. The table in front of them was filled with various fruits and snacks, as well as a pot of steaming tea.

Chen Jue picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Chen Jia, "Sister, try this dessert, it's delicious."

Chen Jia took the snack and took a bite. "Mm, it's really delicious. Where did you buy it?"

Chen Jue smiled and said, "I went to that time-honored dim sum shop on purpose to buy them. I know that you like their dim sum. I still remember when we were little, every time we passed by that dim sum shop, you would drool at the dim sum inside."

They ate snacks while watching the fireworks outside the window. The fireworks bloomed in the night sky, colorful and bright, lighting up the entire night sky. Chen Jia and Chen Jue's eyes were shining with excitement. They were attracted by the beautiful fireworks and exclaimed from time to time.

"Sister, what are your wishes for the new year?"

"I hope that our family can be safe and healthy, and that you can achieve something in the Imperial Hospital. Also, I hope that we can always be together happily like we are now."

"Me too. I hope you can always be happy and our lives will get better and better. I also hope I can learn more medical skills and help more people. I still remember the time when you were sick, I was very worried. At that time, I thought, I must learn medical skills well and take good care of you in the future."

They chatted like this, waiting for the New Year's fireworks to be set off. When the fireworks went up, Chen Jia and Chen Jue became excited. They stared at the clock closely, counting down silently in their hearts.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven...three, two, one!"

The sound of firecrackers outside suddenly rang out, and the whole world was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

Chen Jia and Chen Jue looked at each other, their faces filled with happy smiles.

"Happy New Year, Ajue!" said Chen Jia.

"Happy New Year, sister!" Chen Jue responded.

"In the new year, let's work hard together!" Chen Jia whispered in Chen Jue's ear.

"Yes, definitely!" Chen Jue answered firmly.
