After the mother and son arrived home, Tang Ze followed Gu Jingchuan's example and first opened the sealed stove and filled it with coal.
Lin Min turned on the color TV in the room. The party was not over yet. She poured some melon seeds and candies into the fruit plate, and then the three of them sat down to eat melon seeds and watch TV.
The stove quickly heated up. Tangze took a small kettle, boiled a pot of water, and made a cup of tea for his mother and sister.
As soon as they drank tea, their sleepiness disappeared completely. The three of them watched the show in high spirits. When they saw the funny sketches, Lin Min and Tang Ze laughed and turned around.
Molly looked at the bright smiles of the two children with a look of relief on her face.
At this moment, if she were in Bincheng and her old Tang was there, it would be complete.
When the early morning bell rang, Lin Min stood up happily, took a firecracker and a bunch of fireworks, and looked at Tang Ze, "Come on, let's set off the firecrackers and fireworks."
Tang Ze looked into his sister's shining eyes and smiled fondly, "Okay."
Lin Min turned on the electric light in the yard, then held the firecrackers, and asked Tang Ze to light some incense and hold them.
It's too dangerous to light it with a match or lighter.
Use long incense sticks to light firecrackers, which are far away and safer.
When they went out, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside had begun to fill the sky one after another.
People have always attached great importance to setting off firecrackers in the early morning to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
There are also those who are particular about going to the temple on time to burn incense and get good luck.
All these customs express the people's yearning for a better life.
Molly also followed them to the yard and watched the two older children holding firecrackers and fireworks, just like the children, and setting them off solemnly.
Lin Min first set off firecrackers, then placed them in the center of the yard. After lighting them, the mother and son watched the gorgeous fireworks soar into the sky.
They stood in the yard, each with a bright smile on their face.
After the fireworks were set off, she was still in a hurry and didn't rush into the house. Molly looked at herself
He looked at his son and daughter with a gentle expression, "Aze, Xiaomin, Happy New Year."
Tangze replied happily, "Mom, Happy New Year."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Min again and said, "Happy New Year, sister."
Lin Min met the eyes of mother and son looking at her. From their eyes, she could see that in addition to blessings, there was also some kind of expectation.
She knew very well what they were expecting.
She looked at them, their eyes were so bright and sincere under the light.
The softest part of her heart was touched.
These are her mother and brother.
They came all the way here to get to know her and spend the New Year with her.
They approached her carefully and sincerely in their own way.
Although they had only been together for about ten days, the warmth they brought to her was something she had never felt before.
To be honest, she longs for this family affection.
Longed for two lifetimes.
Lin Min looked at them. For a long time, she pursed her lips and slowly opened her lips, "Mom, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, brother."
As Lin Min finished speaking, Molly was stunned for a moment.
Then, he suddenly rushed over excitedly and hugged Lin Min tightly.
Her tears fell instantly.
Her daughter finally recognized her.
She actually called her mom.
Molly hugged her and choked with sobs, "Hey! My daughter, thank you, thank you for being willing to recognize me."
Tang Ze was also very moved. He walked over, opened his arms, and embraced his mother and sister.
The mother and son embraced each other happily on the first day of the New Year.
That night, they hardly slept at all.
At two o'clock in the morning, the TV turned off and the room became quiet. Tang Ze reluctantly went to the east room to rest.
Molly was very excited. She always felt that the sound of "Mom" in the yard was like a dream.
She was afraid that when she woke up, Lin Min would return to her polite and distant attitude towards them. ??
She really wanted to ask Lin Min to call her mom again, but she didn't dare to be greedy for fear of arousing her daughter's resentment.
At night, Molly tentatively put Lin Min into her arms. Lin Min did not refuse. In fact, she was very greedy for her mother's warm embrace.
…
In the early morning, when Lin Min woke up, Molly had already prepared breakfast. Tang Ze also got up. He was afraid of disturbing Lin Min and did not come in. After washing up in the yard, he helped Molly prepare breakfast.
When Lin Min got up, mother and son brought breakfast with a smile.
Lin Min was a little embarrassed to ask them to wait on her at her own home.
Molly cooked millet porridge and steamed buns. She rarely made these in recent years, but she was not unfamiliar with them. After all, she had been a housewife.
After finishing the meal, Tangze put away the dishes, and then Molly took out a round red envelope from her pocket.
It's said to be a red envelope, but it's actually made of red paper.
Here, I really haven’t bought the kind of exquisite red envelopes specially designed to hold money.
The red envelope is just the surface, the money inside is the protagonist.
"Xiao Min, this is the New Year's money prepared by mom for you, take it quickly."
Molly handed the thick red envelope to Lin Min.
Lin Min looked at the red envelope and was a little dazed. She smiled and said, "Ah? I'm already married, I'm not a child anymore, so there's no need. I'm a wife, so why should I receive new year's money?"
Molly
Smiling and insisting, "Hold on, children will always be children in the eyes of their parents."
She felt very bitter because her daughter, at the age when she was receiving lucky money, had no chance to give her new year's money.
Now that the supply is given to her and she accepts it, she feels better.
Tang Ze echoed from the side, "Xiao Min, take it."
Lin Min paused for a few seconds and had no choice but to take it.
Then, as soon as she collected Molly's lucky money, Tang Ze handed over another one. He looked at her expectantly and said with a smile, "Sister, this is what my brother gave you."
"You...you don't need it." Shouldn't the new year's money be given by the elders?
Tang Ze gave it to her, but she was really embarrassed to accept it.
"How can you not use it? I am a wage earner, okay? You can't just accept what mom gives you and not mine?"
Tang Ze waved the hand holding the red envelope in front of her, gesturing for her to take it.
Lin Min hesitated for a moment and could only continue.
She held two heavy red envelopes in her hands and thanked them, "Thank you mom, thank you brother."
If Lin Min called her mother and brother in the yard last night, they felt that it was not very real. But at this time, early in the morning, when everyone was awake, she opened her mouth to call them again, and they heard it so clearly.
Everything is real.
Molly and Tang Ze both responded happily, "Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome."
Lin Min was a little embarrassed by their excited expressions.
Molly, who had always been dignified and dignified, now looked like a child who had eaten candy.
There is also Tang Ze, who obviously looks tall and powerful, but when he has a straight face, he is as serious and scary as Gu Jingchuan.
Because she sounds like a brother, but her expression is so pure and joyful.
Tang Ze scratched his head, looked at Lin Min with bright eyes, and said expectantly, "Sister, please call me again."
