These New Year gifts were prepared by Han Aihua before the New Year. Some were souvenirs she bought on the road to sports cars, and some were bought in shopping malls in Yunshan. This year the Zhang family has made money, and she has become more generous with her spending. She specially prepared a set of high-end leather clothes for her brother and sister-in-law.
Shen Rong took the New Year's goods from Zhang Yongsheng's hand and said in surprise: "Sister, you are too reluctant to buy such expensive things. I have seen this brand in the county shopping mall, and it costs more than 2,000 yuan a piece."
Han Aihua smiled and said: "What can I hate about you two? I give you a gift once a year. If I don't choose a better one, I won't be able to bear it."
Seeing that his aunt was generous, Han Zhiwei immediately stepped forward with a playful smile and said, "Aunt and uncle, Han Zhiwei wishes you a Happy New Year. Where is my red envelope?"
Zhang Jianxiong smiled and said: "You kid is really good at finding opportunities. Ask your brother for your red envelope. He has a lot of money. How much you can get depends on your performance."
Han Zhiwei looked at Zhang Yongsheng pitifully and said weakly: "Brother, where is my red envelope? We are brothers, you didn't steal it from me, did you?"
Zhang Yongsheng avoided answering, pointed at Bai Zhixuan and said: "Xiaowei, remember, you have to call her sister-in-law when you see her in the future. You have to respect her as you respect me. If she is unhappy, your red envelope will be gone. .”
Han Zhiwei immediately paid New Year's greetings to Bai Zhixuan in an upright manner, with a rare meticulousness on his face, which made Zhang Yongsheng and Bai Zhixuan laugh. Han Zhiwei has a lively temperament and is the lifeblood of the family, often making jokes to adjust the atmosphere. She is especially active during the Chinese New Year and does not recognize life at all.
Seeing Zhang Yongsheng talking nonsense again, Bai Zhixuan glared at him and took out the red envelope from her pocket: "You must be Han Zhiwei. I heard your brother said you are a scumbag, so you have to work hard in the future. You are the only child of the Han family. We all expect you to spread your wings, but you can’t let yourself slip.”
Han Zhiwei took the red envelope with a smile, patted his chest and promised: "Sister-in-law, please rest assured, I will study hard in the future, try not to be a scumbag, and get into your Yunshan No. 1 Middle School."
Zhang Yongsheng's face was full of disbelief, and he said with a flat mouth: "Forget it, I believe your ghost. As long as you can successfully graduate from junior high school, you will be worthy of your uncle and aunt."
A few people sat and chatted in the living room. Shen Rong was busy mixing tea and water, and giving them a lot of snacks and dried fruits. Han Aimin handed Zhang Jianxiong another cigarette, and the two started puffing away, filling the living room with smoke. Just a few minutes after sitting down, there were voices outside the door, and a couple came in with a little girl.
Zhang Yongsheng glanced at it and introduced to Bai Zhixuan with a smile that this was his uncle Han Aijun's family. Han Aijun has been working in the county since he retired from the army, and later settled in the county. His wife Xie Linlin is a nurse in the hospital, and they have a daughter named Han Jiawei, who has just entered the second grade of elementary school.
Han Aijun led his family into the house, and everyone stood up to greet them. Han Jiawei was very sensible and happily ran to Zhang Jianxiong and his wife to greet them one by one. It would be best if she arrived in front of Bai Zhixuan, Zhang Yongsheng introduced her, and Bai Zhixuan also took out the red envelope and handed it over.
Han Jiawei looked at Han Aijun, accepted the red envelope after receiving permission, and said thanks: "Thank you, Sister Bai. Sister Bai, you are so beautiful. You and my brother are just as talented as a woman."
Bai Zhixuan was so cute by her little adult appearance that she joked: "Xiao Weiwei, how old are you that you know how talented a man is and how good a woman is?"
Han Jiawei nodded solemnly and said: "Of course I know. I am eight years old and already in the second grade. And my grades are very good and I am second in the class."
Zhang Yongsheng laughed and said: "You little girl, you are really good at talking. But you said it wrong this time. We have a rich girl and a good-looking boy. Don't you think your brother and I are handsome?"
Han Jiawei shook her head and said: "What's the use of being handsome? You can't be eaten by being handsome. My dad said that as a man, it doesn't matter whether you are handsome or not. What's important is that you have heroic spirit."
Zhang Yongsheng said with some surprise: "Uncle, is this how you usually teach her?"
Han Aijun nodded and said: "Yes, a man must be heroic. You have learned how to dress up, so how come you look so oily and pink-faced? It doesn't look as cool as before."
Today, when visiting relatives, Bai Zhixuan dressed up Zhang Yongsheng specially to give him some face in front of relatives. Who knew it would have the opposite effect, and he would actually be considered someone with oily hair and powdered noodles. He looked at Bai Zhixuan dumbfounded, feeling a little depressed. Is it wrong to dress up more beautifully?
Han Aimin patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, please don't hold back your words. Ah Sheng and his wife are a perfect match. As an elder, you should congratulate me. Hurry and hand over the red envelope you prepared. Don't Damn it, you must give me a big one this year."
Han Aijun said with a bitter face: "Second brother, it's not like you don't know that I am not in charge of my family's money." After speaking, he turned to look at his wife and quickly signaled with his eyes.
Xie Linlin smiled and took out the red envelope from her pocket, handed it to Bai Zhixuan and said: "Miss Bai, this is the first time we meet, I will give you a New Year's red envelope. Our third child doesn't make money, so don't mind if the red envelope is small."
Bai Zhixuan took the red envelope and said politely: "Thank you, aunt, you can just call me Zhixuan. As long as the red envelope is given by an elder, it is a New Year's blessing. It doesn't matter how much."
The Han siblings finally reunited after a year, and everyone celebrated the New Year together, and the atmosphere was very lively. Although it is already the third day of the Lunar New Year, the reunion dinner at noon is still very formal. Shen Rong spent a whole day preparing in advance and prepared a large table of dishes. Although they are all farm dishes, they are also delicious and delicious.
Zhang Jianxiong brought good wine, and the three grown men drank it, intending to get drunk before resting. Han Aihua and his two sisters-in-law chatted about the hardships of the year, told each other about their bitterness, and talked about their parents' shortcomings to increase their feelings for each other. Zhang Yongsheng and Bai Zhixuan became the kings of children, with their two children surrounding them.
After the meal, everyone sat down to rest and drink tea. Many relatives came to visit the Han family. They all heard that Han Aihua was back and came to see them. Han Aihua used to have a good reputation in the village, and she was considered the eldest sister among her peers, so every time she came back, many people came to visit her.
When guests came to the house, the Han family was like a vegetable market, very lively. Many people chatted and glanced at Bai Zhixuan. Occasionally, they took the time to look at the Accord car parked in the Han family's yard, their faces full of envy. Bai Zhixuan was confused and asked Zhang Yongsheng with her eyes.
Zhang Yongsheng smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice: "It's nothing, I just came to watch the fun. It's like this in the countryside. When a new daughter-in-law comes to a house, she will be surrounded by all kinds of people. My mother has some respect in the village, so she comes to watch the fun. Quite a bit, just be calm and treat it like a catwalk."
Bai Zhixuan had never lived in a rural area and said with a strange expression: "There is still such a custom in the village. Why do I feel like I am being treated as a monkey?"
