Gong Xue closed the door, blocking out Gong Tao's crying in the living room.
Gong Laodiao turned on the lamp, turned around and asked his beloved granddaughter: "Are you happy now?"
Gong Xue nodded and helped her grandfather sit down on the recliner, "I just wronged Taotao. He was scolded by his second aunt, and he will definitely have nightmares again tonight."
Mr. Gong snorted from his nose, "You deserve it! You cry after saying a few words, how can you look like my Gong Yifu's grandson!"
"That's also your grandson, your sweetheart. Otherwise, why would my annual New Year's money be five hundred and Taotao's be one thousand?" Gong Xue asked while squeezing her grandfather's arm and raising her eyebrows.
grandfather.
When Mr. Gong was asked, he burst out laughing.
He flicked his granddaughter's bright and smooth forehead hard, "Ghost girl, how dare you defeat grandpa's army!"
Gong Xue covered her head and shouted dissatisfied: "Grandpa, I am already thirteen years old! Please stop hitting your head!"
Mr. Gong laughed loudly, Gong Xue shushed and pointed to the living room, "You don't want Taotao to sleep?"
Gong Xue stayed up with her grandfather until twelve o'clock before going upstairs to rest.
The military compound was not allowed to fire cannons, so New Year's Eve was just like usual, so quiet that it didn't look like it was celebrating the New Year.
It was dark on the second floor, so she groped her way upstairs. As soon as she reached the corner of the stairs, she heard a familiar call.
"sister..."
Gong Xue was startled and turned on the wall lamp, only to find that it was Gong Tao.
He hadn't slept yet, and was huddled outside her door in his thin autumn clothes, shivering from the cold.
Gong Xue quickly pulled him up, wrapped her arms around his thin body, and entered the house.
"You are stupid, you don't know how to wear some clothes! What to do if you get cold or cold!" She rubbed Gong Tao's arm hard, pushed him onto the bed, and pulled off the quilt to wrap him up.
"I'll get you a cup of hot water, just wait." Just as he was about to leave, Gong Tao grabbed his sleeve.
"sister."
"Huh? What's wrong with you? Second Aunt hit you?" Thinking of Second Aunt's fussy temper, she was definitely going to take it out on Gong Tao for having lost five hundred yuan for nothing.
Gong Tao shook his head and said in a deep nasal voice: "No, he didn't hit me."
"Then what's wrong with you? Do you have something to say to sister?" Looking at Gong Tao's red and swollen eyes, she felt quite bad. She had just been focusing on her own pleasure and ignored Gong Tao's feelings.
Gong Tao lowered his head and said with a hint of tears: "Sister, I'm sorry, what happened today is all my mother's fault. She misunderstood you." It turns out that for many years, the New Year's red envelopes are really different. His is better than my sister's.
There are few, so my sister never opens red envelopes in front of them.
Gong Xue thought he was going to say something, but when she heard that he was just apologizing, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Kind-hearted little Gong Tao, fortunately my second aunt has you.
She wrapped Gong Tao's head with a quilt, rubbed it hard twice, and said with a smile: "What my sister did was wrong, I shouldn't have treated my second aunt like that." She took out the red envelope that originally belonged to Gong Tao from her pocket: "Here,
your."
Gong Tao refused to accept it, and the siblings pushed it back and forth. In the end, Gong Xue used her elder sister's power to 'force' her younger brother to accept the lucky money.
Seeing that she was not angry, Gong Tao finally relaxed after struggling all night. His worries were gone and he felt sleepy. By the time Gong Xue went downstairs to cook fresh milk and brought it to her, Gong Tao had already fallen asleep on her bed.
.
Gong Tao was also in a separate room, right next to his second uncle's room. Gong Xue was afraid that he would catch a cold if he woke him up, so she simply let him sleep in his room.
She dimmed the light of the desk lamp, quietly opened the closet, and took out the black package inside.
