After the couple was overjoyed, they deliberated for a long time before writing a reply to their daughter's family. Every word and every line was filled with joy and deep thoughts.
Wang Biyun and Qin Weiguo were still sending some specialties from the new province, and letters filled with their thoughts began to be sent across the mountains to the eastern province.
In Luoshui Village, Zhang Xinlan came out of the house and was going to get more firewood for cooking. When she saw Qin Ying standing at the door of the courtyard looking around, she asked strangely: "Third daughter-in-law, what are you looking at?"
Qin Ying turned around, somewhat absent-mindedly, "It's okay. Second sister-in-law, please go in first and I'll help you right away."
Zhang Xinlan frowned strangely, turned around and entered the house. Why has she felt that something is wrong with this third daughter-in-law these past few days?
It's New Year's Day soon. Su Congwu and Wen Sisi will take two days off and prepare to go home to spend it. It's coming tonight. Su Congwu has already arrived home early. This is also a solar year, so the food at home should naturally be more generous.
The life of the Su family is getting better and better now. Wu Guixiang has never cared about the cost of food, let alone this kind of life. With a wave of his hand, he allocated money to Li Xiulian and let her take care of it.
After all, it’s the Chinese New Year, so it’s natural to feel a little bit Chinese New Year. You have to buy all the window grilles and couplets, and you can’t leave behind any new clothes. Naturally, Zhang Xinlan is in charge of the kitchen. Her mother-in-law gave her the money, and she didn’t hesitate and bought a lot of fish and fish. Meat back.
Qin Ying went into the house to help cook, but she couldn't let go of the letters and things she wanted to send to her parents. Su Qingyun comforted her mother in a low voice, "It's okay, mother. Xinjiang is two to three thousand kilometers away from us. It's a long way. It's just a slow delivery, don't be in a hurry."
"That's true." Qin Ying smiled, "It's just that I couldn't let it go."
"Wait a little longer." Su Qingyun winked at her.
"I know." Qin Ying patted her daughter's hand, "Go quickly and see if your third brother's couplet has been posted?"
"Okay." Su Qingyun ran out of the kitchen happily.
Su Congwu stood on the stool and was pasting the word "Fu" on it. Su Qingyun was directing him from the side, "Hey, don't put the word "Happiness" on it. Just stick the word "Fu" next to it."
"Okay." Su Congwu moved his position, "Is this okay?"
"Move a little further to the left, okay, okay, almost done, stick it there." Su Qingyun made the final decision.
"There are still couplets that haven't been posted."
Su Congwu got off the stool, took the couplet and looked around, looking for the best position, and pasted it on the left and right sides of the door frame. After pasting it, he asked Su Qingyun, "How is it? Is it about the same?"
Su Qingyun nodded, "Absolutely."
Wu Guixiang stood aside and took a look. She didn't quite recognize some words, "Bao, what's written on it?"
Su Qingyun recited the couplets in a crisp voice, "The first couplet is about the rising dragon rising from the sky to usher in new fortunes. The second couplet is about standing on the branches to report good news, saying farewell to the old and welcoming the new."
"It's so well written." Wu Guixiang smacked her lips twice. Although she didn't quite understand what it meant, she felt happy when she heard it.
Su Congwu smiled and said: "I also feel that this year's couplets seem to be better written than previous years. Where did you buy them?"
"What did you buy?" Wu Guixiang looked at him speechlessly, "Your sister wrote this herself."
"Yo!" Su Congwu was startled, "You're quite capable."
"As an elder brother, you still can't recognize your sister's name?" Wu Guixiang couldn't understand.
Su Congwu: "..." He really couldn't recognize it.
"Hey, are the couplets posted?" came a voice as Su Congjun and Wen Sisi walked into the courtyard carrying their things.
"Brother." Su Congwu stepped forward, "Why do you bring so many things when you go home?" Even though he said this, he took the things in his hand very naturally.
"You kid!" Su Congjun said angrily.
Wen Sisi smiled and said, "These are all gifts prepared by my parents for the family."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Su Congwu said sweetly, carrying the things in and putting them away.
"Milk."
"grandmother."
Su Congwu and Wen Sisi called out obediently.
Wu Guixiang looked at the two of them with a smile, "Quickly go in, sit down and rest for a while. You can eat later."
"good."
The sky gradually darkened, and the night wind blew biting. The whole family was back, and there was no need to wait outside. Wu Guixiang called to Su Qingyun, "Bao'er, let's go in too? Let's warm ourselves up by the fire."
"Okay, baby." Su Qingyun is a person who is extremely afraid of the cold. If she didn't want to wait at the door to see if there is a letter from the postman, she would not blow the cold wind at the door.
The grandfather and grandson had just entered the house one after another. Outside the yard, a voice shouted, "From the Su family, your letters and packages have arrived!"
Su Qingyun turned around suddenly and ran out in a few steps. The postman at the door of the yard had a red nose from the cold.
Su Qingyun said: "Are you still delivering the letter so late?"
"I can't help it. Isn't it the end of the year? There are a lot of people sending letters and packages. I can get off work after delivering them to your home."
"That's good."
The postman handed her the letter and package, "They are all from your family."
"Okay, thank you."
Su Qingyun looked at the two letters and two packages in his hand and stared, two?
She looked at the letters first. One was from her second brother Su Congwen from Chuncheng, and the other...
Su Qingyun's eyes showed surprise. It was sent from grandma and grandpa from New Province. As expected, they had received their news.
She thought about it, put the letter from her grandma and grandpa in her pocket, carried the things into the house, and announced the good news to everyone, "Come and take a look, my second brother and my grandpa have both sent things." come over."
"Have you returned from sending something from Congwen?" Zhang Xinlan put down the spatula before she could get over.
Qin Ying, who was lighting the fire, stood up suddenly with an excited look on her face, "Let me take a look!"
In the blink of an eye, Qin Ying arrived in front of Su Qingyun. Su Qingyun pointed at one of the packages and winked at her mother, "Mom, this is from grandma, grandpa and the others."
"This one was sent by my second brother."
Qin Ying knelt down and opened the package with shaking hands. She didn't care about the contents inside. She kept rummaging for something with one hand, but found nothing.
No, how could it not be? Qin Ying looked at her daughter with questioning eyes. Su Qingyun pointed to her pocket without leaving any trace. The address on the letter was in New Province. The family did not know the specific situation and thought they had been in contact with their grandparents a long time ago. , if you see the address above, something else will happen.
Qin Ying understood what Su Qingyun meant, breathed a sigh of relief, and barely suppressed her emotions.
It was a bit strange for the family to see her excited. Didn't she just receive a package? Why are you so excited? Don't her parents often send things over?
However, this was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes. In the past, Su Aimin had gone to the town to get it in person.
Su Aimin saw everyone's expressions were a little strange, so he immediately interrupted: "Let me see, what good things did my father-in-law and mother-in-law send?"
He opened the package, and inside was dried beef jerky, bright in color, and wrapped with chili seeds. It looked like a spicy and spicy food, and there were also bags of red dates and raisins. He didn't know what they were. Cheap stuff.
Even Su Aimin was stunned. Being assigned to the new province, even if the Ji family said that someone would take care of them, their life must be unsatisfactory. But now, looking at this big bag of things, Su Aimin also had a bit of a sore throat. It took so much effort for his father-in-law and mother-in-law to come up with so many good things.
"They are all good things." Li Xiulian smiled.
Zhang Xinlan came back to her senses and opened the package that Su Congwen sent back impatiently. What caught her eyes were two large hams. She smiled and complained: "This kid, we said this thing is good, but he really only has it." Will send this back.”
"This is Congwen's filial piety. Why aren't you satisfied?" Su Aidang frowned.
"Why are you dissatisfied? Why don't I just tell you?" Zhang Xinlan rolled her eyes at him, and then happily asked Su Qingyun for a letter, "Yunyun, show me the letter."
Everything is secondary, the main thing is to know how the child is doing.
"What are you going to do? How can you read it if you don't know a few words?" Su Aidang unceremoniously demolished her, "Just ask Yun Yun to read it for you."
Zhang Xinlan choked.
Su Qingyun thrust the letter into the hands of his third brother Su Congwu, "Third brother, please read it."
Seeing her mother looking uneasy, Su Qingyun said: "Mom, come into the room with me."
"Okay." Qin Ying stood up eagerly.
The mother and daughter entered the room, and Zhang Xinlan muttered, "Why can't we say this here? We have to go into the room, and so does this kid. He didn't even read the letter to everyone."
"Mom, are you still listening?" Su Congwu said helplessly, "It's just a letter, wouldn't it be the same if anyone reads it?"
Su Aimin smiled and said, "I'll go in and see the two of them."
He also entered the house, and the whole family looked at each other. What was the third child doing in the family?
"Mom, here's a letter for you." Su Qingyun took out the letter from his pocket.
Qin Ying didn't care about anything else. She tore open the letter and pulled out the paper. It looked like she was handsome and strong on the letter. It was her mother's handwriting.
Like her mother, Qin Ying just read the beginning and already shed tears.
"My daughter Yingying, there has been no news for many years, is she still okay? Your father and I are far away in New Province now. Everything is fine. Don't worry about anything. You can keep in touch with Xiaoqiu over there..."
After reading the entire letter, Qin Ying was already crying.
She cried and fell into Su Aimin's arms, speechless, "My parents are having such a hard time themselves, and they are still worried about me? I am such an unfilial daughter. I fail to fulfill my filial piety around them. Instead, I let them They were worried about me."
Su Aimin felt extremely distressed, "Daughter-in-law, how can you think so? It is the instinct of parents to worry about their children. Just like that, no matter how powerful or promising she is in the future, no matter how old she is or where she goes, I I will still worry about her."
Su Qingyun was stunned when he heard this. The parents' beloved son had a far-reaching plan, but it was nothing more than this.
"Okay, don't cry. The family is waiting. If I see your eyes swollen later, I will definitely ask you." Su Aimin wiped her tears, "Today is New Year's Day, be happy."
Qin Ying finally stopped crying after a long while, "Okay, let's go out."
