On the night of New Year's Eve, Yang Yinxi and Min Jun were so tired that they didn't make it past 0 o'clock to say the first Happy New Year to each other, and fell asleep unknowingly.Early the next morning, Yang Yinxi woke up naturally after falling asleep, opened her eyes and saw that the hour hand was firmly on the number 10, tilted her head to see the empty space beside the bed, felt bad, put on her clothes and got up.

After entering the bathroom, Yang Yinxi saw a panda sticky note folder next to the sink, and there was a small pink note on it with Min Jun's beautiful words: "Happy New Year."

She curled the corners of her mouth, brushed her teeth hastily, wiped her face, and ran to find her daughter-in-law.

She found Min Jun in the kitchen.

Seeing Min Jun wearing an apron with a bow tied on her back, Yang Yinxi felt itchy in her heart, she walked over slowly with light steps, hugged her waist and tilted her head abruptly and said, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Min Jun was not frightened at all, and said with a smile.

Yang Yinxi glanced and noticed that there were long round strips on the chopping board that had just been kneaded. She smelled the smell of glutinous rice and guessed, "Glutinous rice cake?"

"New Year Cake." Min Jun wiped her hands and stroked her messy hair, "Do you want something sweet or salty?"

"It's fine, the rice cakes at my house are made with brown sugar, they are yellow, not white." Yang Yinxi curled her lips.

Min Jun raised her eyebrows, "Brown sugar rice cake? I can make it too."

"No, no, no." Yang Yinxi waved her hand, "That kind of rice cake is not sweet and sticky, and it will get greasy after eating two pieces. Every year, our family insists on eating it in order not to waste it."

Min Jun was busy making rice cakes and didn't answer.

Seeing Min Jun's fingertips kneading the rice cake, there was a tendency to wish the surface was smooth enough to leave no trace, Yang Yinxi suddenly became smart, and asked cautiously, "Is this going to be given to grandparents tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Min Jun nodded, "It has to be nicer."

Yang Yinxi silently stood by and watched.

"Going to my grandparents' house, are you nervous?" Min Jun finished everything, washed her hands and found that she was still in the same place, worried.

Yang Yinxi sighed, "After so many things, my senses have become numb, and I don't know what it means to be nervous."

"You are not allowed to sigh on the first day of the new year." Min Jun covered her mouth.

Yang Yinxi smelled the lemon scent of the hand sanitizer, blinked, and said vaguely, "I'm hungry."

Min Jun understood, put down her hand and led her to the dining table, filled the millet porridge that was still warm, and took the steamed buns to the microwave for her to heat up.Yang Yinxi was really hungry, so she ate without saying a word. After she was full, she washed the dishes on her own initiative, found Min Jun who was rocking a chair on the balcony, took her mobile phone and nestled beside her to bask in the sun together.

When the phone screen lit up, the first thing she saw was a pile of unread messages.

Colleagues, friends, relatives... Yang Yinxi looked at them one by one, and finally settled on the chat interface of his brother-in-law Min Xun.

The brother-in-law was very sincere and sent a red envelope with an amount of 888.

Yang Yinxi almost wobbled and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Min Jun handed over the tissue immediately.

Yang Yinxi took it and showed the red envelope to Min Jun wordlessly.

Min Jun frowned slightly.

Yang Yinxi was nervous, "Should I return it?"

"No." Min Jun shook her head, "I originally planned to send you 520, but now my brother sent you 888... Should I change to 5200?"

"..." The corner of Yang Yinxi's mouth twitched.

Min Jun took this seriously, and asked seriously, "I remember you don't like to use WeChat wallets... Do you want cash or go directly to the card?"

Yang Yinxi clicked her tongue, "No need, I'll send it to you too, offset it."

"Okay," Min Jun said seriously, "My brother has already sent it to you, you don't need to return it, and don't send him a red envelope, otherwise..."

Yang Yinxi became nervous again, "Your brother will be unhappy."

"No." Min Jun was helpless, "Nagging."

"..."

Speechless, Yang Yinxi thought about it, and sent New Year greetings and thanks to her brother-in-law. Halfway through typing, she suddenly remembered the phone call she heard yesterday, and turned to Min Jun, "Yesterday, why did you say that you will go back to your mother's house on the second day of the new year?" ..."

"My brother wants us to go back today. When I said it was the second day of the junior high school, he started talking about the second day of the new year for a married daughter."

Yang Yinxi's eyes widened, "How can you say that!"

"That's right, I obviously married one."

Yang Yinxi, who was helping to speak, froze, almost swallowed the agreement that came to her lips, and muttered, "What?"

Min Jun just smiled and said nothing.

Yang Yinxi didn't know how to refute, so she simply bit her lip and changed the subject, "I'm going to my grandparents' house tomorrow, what should I pay attention to."

"Relax, my grandparents are very open-minded." Min Jun smiled and said, "Just don't be scared."

"Huh!?" Yang Yinxi was stunned.

Min Jun made a fool of herself, "You will know when the time comes."

-

Min Jun's grandparents lived in the outskirts of the city, Yang Yinxi didn't know the way, she just felt the car turning around, from the bustling city to the quiet road, and finally to the mountain full of trees, followed by Ni Man's house It's a bit like a holiday villa.

Even though she knew that she was going to pay New Year's greetings and not a vacation, Yang Yinxi's mood was still relaxed, and she looked at the changing green scenery outside. For fear of getting lost.Opening the gate of the small courtyard and going in along the gravel road, Yang Yinxi saw a naive aunt in front of the gate and said hello loudly.

Aunt smiled, "Hello."

"This is Aunt Liu, who takes care of my grandparents." Min Jun introduced.

Yang Yinxi thought that many people are not to blame, so she added another sentence.

Aunt Liu smiled and said without her introduction, "You are Xiaoxi, right? Xiaoxun mentioned you."

Yang Yinxi didn't react for a while.

"My brother." Min Jun leaned closer to remind him.

Yang Yinxi was stunned, "Oh!"

"Hahaha, he is really a child who is easily scared." Aunt Liu's reaction was exactly the same as that of Min Jun's mother, watching her from ear to ear, "Come in, they are waiting inside."

Yang Yinxi straightened her hair and clothes, took a deep breath and entered the door.

As soon as she entered, she smelled a faint fragrance, looked in along the delicately carved screen, and saw a dignified and dignified Chinese-style seat, and her brother-in-law was drinking from a small teacup. document.

"Brother." Min Jun called out.

The brother-in-law immediately put down his teacup and put on a smiling face, his gaze bypassed Yang Yinxi and went straight to Min Jun, "I'm back."

Yang Yinxi is used to it.

"Where are your grandparents?" Min Jun asked.

The brother-in-law pointed in one direction, "Grandpa is practicing calligraphy in the study, come out later, grandma is practicing in the yard."

"Oh." Min Jun replied, pulling Yang Yinxi to sit down.

After a while, grandpa came out, a very energetic old man, with his head held high even though his hair was white, and he strode forward with the same momentum as a young man.Seeing this, Yang Yinxi got up immediately, Min Jun briefly introduced, grandpa nodded expressionlessly, and said something to the dazed Yang Yinxi in a deep and serious voice, "Don't be nervous, I will treat you like a granddaughter. "

...is this consolation?

Yang Yinxi didn't know how to respond, but her brother-in-law said, "Grandpa, if you treat her as a granddaughter, then she and Min Jun are sisters."

Grandpa remained expressionless, "Oh, then I just don't treat Min Jun as my granddaughter."

Yang Yinxi was dumbfounded.

Min Jun couldn't help laughing out loud, Aunt Liu was so happy that she almost dropped the teapot, and brother-in-law was pouring tea for Grandpa helplessly, only Grandpa was still in a state of "whatever you like, anyway, I am like this", He sipped his tea and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Grandpa drank tea to moisten his throat, and talked to Yang Yinxi.

Yang Yinxi replied obediently, "I have eaten, thank you grandpa for your concern."

"Grandpa, I made rice cakes, do you want to try it?" Min Jun suggested.

Grandpa frowned, "No, sticky teeth, it's unpalatable."

Min Jun didn't care much, Yang Yinxi didn't dare to intervene, but the brother-in-law was not convinced, "She did it so hard, grandpa should give me some face."

"She works hard, so I don't have to work hard? Can the newly installed teeth withstand the toss?" Grandpa stared.

The uncle choked on a sip of tea.

"I also brought tea," Min Jun smiled and handed it to Aunt Liu.

Grandpa smiled satisfied, turned to his brother-in-law and lowered his face again, "See, this is a gift for me. The rice cake is for your grandma."

My brother-in-law was depressed and heartbroken, and died.

Yang Yinxi, the melon eater who witnessed everything, finally understood why Min Jun said "don't be scared".

Grandpa has a subtle sense of being serious and funny...

While they were drinking tea, eating snacks and chatting, grandma came back from the yard, always with a kind smile on her face, and kept praising Yang Yinxi, "Oh, it's so beautiful, my granddaughter just has eyesight."

Embarrassed by the praise, Yang Yinxi lowered her head and smirked.

Aunt Liu cooked a hearty lunch, but the taste was bland. Yang Yinxi ate a heavy New Year's Eve dinner made by Min Jun yesterday, but she really liked the light taste.The Min family has a tradition of not talking about food, and only a slight sound of bowls and chopsticks can be heard at the dinner table. Grandpa still has a sullen face, and grandma eats little. In the end, she kept staring at Yang Yinxi and said, "You are so good, you eat well." It smells so good."

Yang Yinxi blushed.

It's enough to be praised for gluttony.

After a full meal and rest, grandparents are going to take a nap, and my brother-in-law is going to have a video conference. Yang Yinxi and Min Jun have nothing to do and simply go for a walk in the yard. This place is quiet, and the loudest sound is the looming insects.She couldn't help but take a light step, rubbed her toes and felt the uneven texture of the stone through the thin soles. When she looked up, the breeze was blowing on her face, the sun was shining, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the wind.

"Tired?" Min Jun saw her suddenly slow down, and asked considerately.

Yang Yinxi shook her head and said with emotion, "It's so nice here, I feel calm after staying here for a while."

"Don't want to go back?" Min Jun asked with a smile.

Yang Yinxi nodded seriously, "Yeah!"

Min Jun clasped her hand, "We will also buy such a place to stay in the future."

Yang Yinxi asked, "How long will it be?"

"Well... I don't know either, let's talk about it later, it will be a long time."

Yes, the days to come are long.

Yang Yinxi looked back at Min Jun with a smile, feeling that her restless heart had gradually settled down, those troublesome things turned from sharp knives pierced into flesh and blood into a layer of dirty dust, uncomfortable, but they could always be brushed away, and would not let her The pain was unbearable.

"A few days later, the interview list will come out..." Yang Yinxi pursed her lips and made a decision, "No matter what the result is, I will call my mother."
