The days passed quickly, the winter days were short and the nights were long, and it was snowing heavily. On New Year's Eve, a carriage drove into Da'ao Village in the wind and snow, heading towards Bei'aozi.
As the night got deeper and deeper, Mrs. Chen looked at the bowl of dumplings on the table and sighed.
"Mom, if the eldest sister is not here, aren't we also here to support you?" Su Xiao hugged Mrs. Chen's arm and coquettishly said, "Mother is partial to the eldest sister."
"You! You're already fourteen, and you're still jealous. Your eldest sister is running around for our family. Mother feels bad for her." Mrs. Chen touched her forehead and scolded: "Don't forget, now
The good life you have is all earned by your sister."
"Okay, I feel sorry for you, eldest sister." Su Xiao stuck out her tongue and winked at Chen Ye.
"Mom, since the eldest sister wrote a letter saying that she is coming back, she will naturally come back safely. I think it has been snowing very hard these two days. Maybe she was delayed on the road. Maybe you will wake up tomorrow and see the eldest sister giving you a message.
Happy New Year." Chen Ye comforted with a smile.
"I hope so." Madam Chen smiled reluctantly and said, "You are still young, not as old as my mother. I think that the whole family should be together during the Chinese New Year. Now that you are missing your eldest sister, I feel
It’s not like that.”
"Mom, you are not old. Who wouldn't say that you are getting younger and younger as you live? You are just like me as a sister. Don't you see that Uncle Cao just giggles every time I see you?" Su Xiao said with a smile.
.
Mrs. Chen blushed, pretended to be annoyed and glanced at her, pinched her pink face, and said, "You are the only one who is always talkative."
Chen Ye smiled from the side and watched the mother and daughter quarrel, with a warm smile always hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Madam, madam." Ya'er shouted and ran over quickly.
"Ya'er, why are you making such a noise? There are no rules at all." Chen Ye scolded lightly.
Ya'er shrank, looked at him in fear, and huddled aside.
Chen Ye glared at her and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Ya'er's eyes lit up and she said happily: "Madam, the young master is the eldest lady. The eldest lady is back."
"Really?" Mrs. Chen was overjoyed and stood up from her chair.
"Really, we're already in front of the door." Ya'er nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Quick, let's pick up your sister quickly." Mrs. Chen said happily.
Chen Ye and Su Xiao hurriedly held her hands and walked out respectively. After taking two steps, Chen suddenly stopped again and said to several people: "No one is allowed to talk about the injury I got earlier at this time.
Tell your sister, it’s Chinese New Year, so don’t make her feel bad.”
Su Xiao and Chen Ye looked at each other and responded.
Su Liu looked at the familiar door. His tired face finally lost some of the fatigue, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The corners of his eyes were slightly wet, but he felt like he didn't dare to enter.
What does it mean to be timid about being close to home, that's it, but I've only been away for three months, and it feels like I've been away for three years.
After crossing the threshold, she saw Mrs. Chen and the others coming towards them. Su Liu opened a bright smile and hurried forward to greet them: "Mom, I'm back."
Mrs. Chen stepped forward and grabbed her hand. Her eyes were red and tears fell down. She smiled and said, "It'll be good to come back. It'll be good to come back."
Xueluo and the others followed behind, and stepped forward to salute the masters. Mrs. Chen all responded with a smile, and pulled Su Liu towards the main room.
Sitting in the warm room, Su Liu took a long breath. After all, it was better to be at home.
Mrs. Chen pulled her to greet her. Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, her tears couldn't stop falling. She kept saying, "Why have you lost so much weight? How did Mrs. Cui and the others serve you? Look at her face."
sharp."
"Mom, although it's extremely cold over there in Shangjing, the climate is still dry. I'm just not used to the water and soil there, and my appetite is poor. That's why I've lost some weight, but I'm in good spirits." Su Liu said helplessly.
He cried when he said the golden beans dropped.
"That's right, mother. I see that my sister is in great spirits. Please stop crying. I just came back. I hurried back. I think I traveled day and night. I didn't even take a bite of the hot soup. Please pour it and cry first."
No, I'm so sad." Su Xiao also advised her.
"That's right, look at me. I'm so happy to be here. I'm going to heat up soup and rice for you." Ms. Chen stood up hurriedly and said to Su Xiao: "You guys, go get a basin of hot water quickly.
When your sister is gone, don't make trouble with her."
After Mrs. Chen went out, Su Xiao jumped up to Su Liu and took the opportunity to complain: "Sister, when you come back, my mother will treat us as if we are nothing."
"I haven't seen you for a few months, but your tongue has improved a lot." Su Liu poked her forehead with his index finger and said.
"Xiaoxiao, please don't make a fuss. The eldest sister has just come back. It's business to go quickly and fetch water to help her wash up." Chen Ye ordered like a little adult.
"You know how to order me." Su Xiao made a face and went out quickly.
There are servants at home, so everything needs to be done quickly. After washing up, there is already a table of dishes on the table in the main room, as well as steaming dumplings.
"Quick, sit down." Mrs. Chen pulled Su Liu and pressed her down.
"Mom, how can I finish eating so much?" Su Liu smiled bitterly.
"It's better if you can't finish it all. If you have leftovers, you'll have more every year." Mrs. Chen said auspicious words with a smile.
"Then you can eat some with me."
"The reunion dinner is naturally for the whole family." Mrs. Chen, with a smile on her face, said to Su Xiao and Chen Ye, "Sit down quickly."
Although they were very full, Chen Ye and the others sat down obediently. The family of four gathered around the table, chatting and laughing, and were very happy.
"By the way, why are there so many more servants at home?" Su Liu asked while biting a dumpling.
Mrs. Chen's and the others' smiling faces froze, and Su Xiao hesitated to speak. Although Su Liu didn't see them directly, he didn't miss their expressions from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface.
After a moment of silence, Chen Ye still said with a smile: "It's nothing else. Sister Qian'er, you went to Shangjing. It's approaching the New Year's Eve, and there are some nightlife activities. We don't have a strong man in our family, so Uncle Cao can't worry about it.
, I selected a few servants."
"That's right." Su Liu raised her eyebrows and said oh, just when everyone thought she wouldn't ask again, she suddenly asked again: "Is there nothing going on at home these days when I'm not here?"
Are you living well at home? Are you looking for trouble?"
Several people's hearts jumped, and they looked carefully at Su Liu's face, trying to get some clues. Seeing that her expression was as normal, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's the matter? It's just some sesame and mung bean things. Come on, eat it. It's freezing here and the dumplings are going to be mushy." Chen changed the topic in an angry tone.
Su Liu looked at Mrs. Chen and saw that her face was a little panicked. She turned her eyes and looked at Su Xiao: "Xiao Xiao?"
"Sister, you have just come back. Today is the Chinese New Year. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it in two days, right?" Chen Ye said before Su Xiao.
"So, you really are hiding something from me." Su Liu put down his chopsticks, gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said calmly: "You also know that you can hide something from the first grade of junior high school, but not the fifteenth grade."
Well, it saves me having to ask them about ice tea again."
"I can't stand it anymore." Su Xiao was the first to surrender. In fact, Su Liu's performance of seeming to see everything made her feel too depressed.
"Xiao Xiao." Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she spoke to stop her, but it was already too late, because Su Xiao pulled her hair up from her forehead.
"What's going on?" Su Liu's expression changed instantly, and it would be an exaggeration to express it as a storm in his eyes.
On Mrs. Chen's forehead, there is a scar as long as half a finger. It is pink in color. It can be seen that it has healed not long ago. In other words, Mrs. Chen was injured a while ago, and the injury is still on her forehead.
"Mom, sister will know sooner or later. It's not the same thing if you tell her sooner or later." Su Xiao pouted, ignoring Chen's anxious expression, and said quickly: "Sister, these are all good things done by that beast. Just that day.
..."
Su Xiaobala told Su Liu everything about Su Changsheng coming to rob and hurt people from beginning to end. Even though it had been many days since the incident, she couldn't help but feel angry and frightened.
After hearing what happened, Su Liu's expression was indescribable. His eyes were as cold as ice and he asked, "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"
Su Xiao trembled for a moment and couldn't help but leaned towards Chen Ye. Chen Ye then said: "I'm thinking that eldest sister, you are far away in Beijing and won't be able to make it for a while. The doctor also said that there is nothing wrong with my mother."
Unfortunately, I have Uncle Cao helping me at home, so I didn’t write the letter."
"I didn't let you say it, Liu'er, I just didn't want you to worry." Mrs. Chen also said hurriedly.
Su Liu saw their expressions looking at him cautiously, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Where is that person?"
"Hmph! I wonder where he died? I couldn't even find him. He must have been hiding." Su Xiao snorted and became angry thinking about this. So many people couldn't find that beast.
Su Liu's eyes narrowed and he hid?
Looking at Su Liu, who was sending out air-conditioning for free, Chen felt worried and said uneasily: "Liu'er, I have nothing to do now. Today is the Chinese New Year, so let's not talk about those bad things.
Yes, ah!"
With a pleading look on her face, Su Liu's lips curled up: "Okay!"
Su Changsheng, he can't escape after all!
Because it was already midnight when Su Liu came back and he had washed himself and had dinner, which was midnight, the sound of crackling firecrackers came from the distance.
"It's Chinese New Year, let's go, let's set off some cannons too." Su Xiao's eyes were bright, she pulled Chen Ye and ran out.
Chen and Su Liu looked at each other, shook their heads and followed.
The long firecracker had been hung up on a bamboo pole and hung at the door. Su Xiao took the burning sandalwood from the servant and was eager to try it.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ye had already snatched it, quickly went over to light it, and the firecrackers burst into flames.
Su Xiao was so angry that she jumped up and chased Chen Ye all over the yard. Her laughter mixed with the sound of firecrackers, resounding throughout the night sky.
There was a loud bang, the firecrackers burned out, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur, and smoke rose everywhere.
Su Liu looked at Su Xiao and Chen Ye chasing each other, their faces illuminated by candlelight, and couldn't help but smile, looking towards the unknown distance.
It’s another year, Ning Guang, happy new year!
