Chapter 321 Liu Changsheng and Bai Fenglian came home for the New Year, but Zhou Huaying didn’t dare
This year, the situation is completely different.
Not only did he have his own cozy home, but he also had an additional member, Xiang Junlan, who was already seven years old.
No matter how busy Liu Junhui is, she will work with her mother-in-law to make sure they celebrate the New Year at home this time.
As the Spring Festival approaches, Liu Junhui and her mother-in-law start to get busy early.
They carefully selected various ingredients and prepared delicious New Year's dinner.
Every morning, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go to the market together to buy fresh meat, vegetables and fruits.
After returning home, they started cleaning the house without stopping, wiping every corner spotlessly.
Next is the time to post Spring Festival couplets and window decorations.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Liu Junhui and her mother-in-law selected some auspicious spring couplets and exquisite window decorations and carefully pasted them on the doors and windows.
Suddenly, the house was filled with a festive atmosphere.
At noon, Liu Junhui called Yonggang.
"Yonggang, are you free this afternoon?"
On the other side, Yonggang asked back, "Why, is there something at home that needs my help?"
"You don't have to do the housework, my mother and I have already done it.
If you have time, take a car to pick up the old couple.
If you don’t have time, I’ll pick them up on a three-wheeled motorcycle.”
Of course Li Yonggang knew who the old couple were.
Moreover, he already knew that Junhui had settled the old couple very well.
"I'll answer it! I'll answer it! I'll answer it no matter what!"
Although Liu Junhui said "pick up those old couple", in Li Yonggang's mind, they were Junhui's biological parents.
How could Li Yonggang not know the purpose of Junhui's call?
Of course he would bring a car to pick her up no matter what.
"Okay, Yonggang, thank you for your hard work!"
When Li Yonggang brought Liu Changsheng and Bai Fenglian back home, Zhou Huaying hardly dared to recognize them.
Liu Changsheng and Bai Fenglian, two northern farmers, were dressed in tattered clothes and looked dispirited when they last came to the Li family. Their faces were haggard and exhausted.
This time, the old couple were both wearing new clothes and looked full of energy; they both had happy faces and were full of energy.
Their daughter, Liu Junhui, who was actually a talented little girl, arranged them in her own group, put them in charge of a fish retail department, and also arranged a two-bedroom apartment for them.
Before this, Liu Junhui not only told Yonggang about arranging the couple, but also told her mother-in-law about it.
Therefore, Zhou Huaying quickly came to her senses and realized that the couple's good relationship was all thanks to Huihui.
Zhou Huaying smiled and waved enthusiastically towards Liu Changsheng and Bai Fenglian, welcoming them into the house like relatives.
Otherwise, if you want others to treat you as a human being, you must first behave like a human being yourself.
As for Liu Junhui, she stood quietly aside, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, a soft light flashing in her eyes, and she looked at the couple with a smile, her eyes full of care and tolerance.
Liu Changsheng carefully placed the bag full of New Year's goods he brought on the coffee table one by one.
Bai Fenglian was like a light old butterfly, holding a bright red envelope in her hand, and slowly walked towards Xiang Junlan.
She looked at Xiang Junlan with warm eyes and put the red envelope in her hand.
"Junlan, this is a little gift from grandma. You've worked hard studying, so buy yourself something delicious."
Bai Fenglian's voice is gentle, revealing the love an old person has for her children.
Xiang Junlan originally had a prejudice against Bai Fenglian and once thought she was a wolf grandmother.
When she first met Bai Fenglian today, Xiang Junlan felt resistant to this wolf grandmother in her mind.
However, at this moment, when Xiang Junlan saw Bai Fenglian's warm gaze and listened to Bai Fenglian's warm words, her mentality changed a little.
Children's mentality changes very quickly.
Xiang Junlan took the red envelope with both hands, a trace of gratitude appearing on her face, "Thank you... Grandma!"
The word "Grandma" immediately made Bai Fenglian burst into tears.
After Xiang Junlan finished expressing her gratitude, she jumped into Liu Junhui's arms with light steps like a happy little bird.
This harmonious atmosphere brought an indescribable sense of relief to Liu Changsheng's heart, as if all the unpleasant scenes that had happened in the past had disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Everyone sat around the coffee table that exuded an ancient atmosphere and started talking about New Year's.
Liu Changsheng sometimes laughed heartily and sometimes sighed softly.
He recounted the hard life he and his wife led, picking up scraps in the streets and alleys of Wanghai City and living under a bridge, and lamented that he didn't know what would have happened if he hadn't had a good daughter like Junhui.
Bai Fenglian would also interject a few words from time to time, talking about her own feelings and experiences.
It's time to steam buns and make dumplings.
Today, Bai Fenglian was different from the past. She first went to the bathroom to wash her hands thoroughly, and then she started preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner with Zhou Huaying and Liu Junhui.
They were busy kneading dough, rolling out skins, and chopping stuffing while chatting and laughing.
After a while, baskets of steaming buns and plates of dumplings of various shapes came out of the pot.
The whole kitchen is filled with the strong flavor of the New Year.
Finally, the New Year’s Eve has arrived. This is a happy moment for the family to reunite.
Liu Junhui started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner early in the morning. She used all her skills and cooked a table full of sumptuous dishes with her mother-in-law.
Every dish is delicious in appearance, aroma and taste, making people salivate.
As night fell, Zhou Huaying, Li Yonggang and Liu Junhui all prepared red envelopes and gave them to Xiao Junlan with a smile.
Li Yonggang and Liu Junhui jointly prepared two large red envelopes, each containing exactly one thousand yuan, and gave them to my mother and Liu Changsheng and Bai Fenglian respectively.
Zhou Huaying was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, with tears of happiness sparkling in her eyes.
Liu Changsheng and Bai Fenglian were very grateful and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
There were six of us sitting around the table, enjoying delicious food and having a happy time together.
The next morning, after eating dumplings, Xiang Junlan went downstairs and excitedly set off firecrackers in the yard with her good friend Zhu Zhiguo and other children.
Liu Changsheng and Bai Fenglian said goodbye.
They now have self-awareness and it would be unnecessary for them to stay any longer.
Besides, Liu Junhui has already arranged a two-bedroom apartment for them. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable for them to be in their own home?
Li Yonggang first drove the old couple back to their home, and then hurried back to his own home.
Because Li Yonggang and Liu Junhui had already agreed that they would first go to Zhu Xinfa's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then go to the base compound to pay New Year's greetings to Commander Qing's family.
Halfway through their journey, they met Zhu Xinfa and Tao Xingyue.
They went to Li Yonggang's home to pay New Year's greetings.
Zhu Xinfa is much older than Li Yonggang. After being promoted to a division-level cadre, his position is also higher than Li Yonggang's. However, he and his wife Tao Xingyue are going to Li Yonggang's house to pay New Year's greetings.
