Chapter 277 Going home for the New Year
"Zhennan's mom, why are you still in the house?"
When the neighbor came in, Xu Hongyu was making sticky rice dumplings around the stove at home.
Xu Hongyu raised her head and looked at her neighbor standing at the door through the white steam.
"Want me to play long cards? I'm not free today."
Thinking that the neighbor had hurried over to invite her to play cards, Xu Hongyu refused him without hesitation.
"My eldest son and daughter-in-law are coming back soon. I need to make more sticky rice dumplings and freeze them. I'll have my daughter-in-law take them back to Jiangcheng to eat after the New Year."
"Dad, there's not much water left in the water tank. Go and fetch two buckets of water."
"Jiaxin, please make the fire burn brighter."
"Zhenbei, go to the yard and pick up some firewood."
"Zhennan's mother, I'm not here to invite you to play long cards."
The neighbor walked up to Xu Hongyu with a smile on his face.
"Your Zhennan is back with his wife."
"People have already reached the village entrance."
"Your eldest daughter-in-law is so beautiful."
The neighbors looked envious.
"She has fair skin, big, watery eyes, a straight nose, and red lips. She's as beautiful as a fairy."
"Looking across the entire Daoxiangtun, no other daughter-in-law can compare to your daughter-in-law."
"That is."
The neighbor's words made Xu Hongyu feel elated.
"My daughter-in-law is not only beautiful and has a good personality, but she is also very capable."
"Jiangcheng High-Tech Research Institute, have you heard of it?"
Xu Hongyu untied her apron and walked out.
"Jiaxin, you stay home and watch over the pot. I'll go to the village entrance to pick up your brother and sister-in-law."
"Ah."
While responding to Xu Hongyu, Xie Jiaxin added firewood to the stove.
She kept the stove fire burning brightly.
When my brother and sister-in-law get home soon, they will be able to eat the steaming hot sticky rice dumplings fresh from the pot.
"Mom, aunt, hurry to the village entrance."
"Since this is the first time my sister-in-law is visiting us, we should be more welcoming."
At Xie Jiaxin's urging, Xu Hongyu and her neighbors happily headed to the village entrance.
"Zhennan's mom, what kind of place is this Jiangcheng High-Tech Research Institute you just mentioned?"
On the way, the neighbor did not forget to ask Xu Hongyu about Jiangcheng High-tech Research Institute.
Xu Hongyu raised her eyebrows and answered proudly, "Jiangcheng High-Tech Research Institute is a scientific research unit that the country values very much."
"My daughter-in-law works at the Jiangcheng High-Tech Research Institute."
"Specializing in weapons research."
"Over the years, the Japanese dare not invade our Dragon Country again because our Dragon Country's scientific research units have developed many powerful and advanced weapons."
"Yeah."
After Xu Hongyu finished speaking, the neighbor's eyes showed admiration for Yun Jiaojiao.
"Zhennan's wife is really amazing."
As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the village entrance.
A group of villagers surrounded Xie Zhennan, Yun Jiaojiao, Song Sixiao, Cao Yunze and others.
The villagers were so enthusiastic that Xie Zhennan, Yun Jiaojiao and others had to stop at the entrance of the village.
"Zhennan, you finally got married. I never thought I'd be able to see you get married in my lifetime."
A white-haired old man was so excited that he wiped his tears in front of Xie Zhennan Yunjiaojiao.
After wiping his tears, the old man opened his presbyopic eyes and looked at Yun Jiaojiao carefully.
"She has regular features and a full face. It's obvious that this girl is blessed."
"Zhennan, you married a good wife."
"Be good to your wife in the future."
"Girl, if Zhennan bullies you in the future, tell me and I will help you deal with him severely."
As the old man spoke, he waved the cane in his hand towards Xie Zhennan.
It was the first time that Yun Jiaojiao went back to her hometown with Xie Zhennan. She didn’t know how to address the old man in front of her, so she turned her head away and looked at Xie Zhennan with a questioning look.
"Third Uncle, please don't worry about it."
"I was nearly 30 when I married such a considerate wife. I love her dearly, how could I bully her?"
After Xie Zhennan responded to his uncle, he immediately turned his head and whispered in Yun Jiaojiao's ear: "Wife, this is my uncle."
"Hello, Third Uncle."
"Third uncle is from the same clan as our family. Over the years, third uncle has been worrying about my marriage."
"Hello, Third Uncle."
After Xie Zhennan finished speaking, Yun Jiaojiao took a step forward and bowed respectfully to the old man.
"My name is Yun Jiaojiao, and I'm Zhennan's wife."
"Zhennan and I have a very good relationship. We will love each other for the rest of our lives. Please rest assured, Third Uncle."
Third Uncle had always liked Yun Jiaojiao. After hearing her call him Third Uncle and what she had just said, he smiled so much that his old face was full of wrinkles.
"What a good kid."
"Zhennan, quickly take out the wedding candy and distribute it to everyone."
There were many children watching. After Yun Jiaojiao greeted her third uncle, she immediately asked Xie Zhennan to take out the wedding candy that had been prepared in advance.
Xie Zhennan opened one of the suitcases and took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from it.
Children in the mountain village rarely have the opportunity to taste candy, so when they see the White Rabbit milk candies in Xie Zhennan's hand, their eyes light up.
Xie Zhennan glanced at the children and said with a smile: "The wedding candy was bought by your aunt. You have to call her aunt first before you can eat it."
"Hello, aunt."
"Happy New Year, Auntie."
"Auntie, you are so beautiful."
"Hello, aunt."
As soon as Xie Zhennan finished speaking, the children swarmed around Yun Jiaojiao, each raising their little heads and calling her "Auntie" in a sweet voice.
Looking at these innocent little faces, Yun Jiaojiao suddenly felt relaxed and happy both physically and mentally.
Xie Zhennan handed the bag of White Rabbit milk candy to Yun Jiaojiao. Yun Jiaojiao was generous and stuffed a handful of candy into the bag for the child.
A bag of White Rabbit milk candy was lit up by her.
Seeing how generous she was, the villagers looked at her with even more fondness and admiration.
"Zhennan's wife is so generous."
The neighbor pulled Xu Hongyu's arm and praised Yun Jiaojiao in Xu Hongyu's ear with a smile on his face.
"That is."
"My daughter-in-law is good in every way."
The children surrounding Yun Jiaojiao dispersed, and Xu Hongyu walked forward with a smile on her face.
"mom."
Yun Jiaojiao spoke first.
"Hey."
The word "Mom" made Xu Hongyu excitedly take a step forward and hold Yun Jiaojiao's hand.
"Girl, you've worked hard along the way."
"Are you cold? Are you hungry?"
"Mom has made some sticky rice dumplings. Let's go home with her and eat them by the fire."
As Xu Hongyu said this, she was about to pull Yun Jiaojiao back and ignored Xie Zhennan at all.
Xie Zhennan: “…”
Is he really his mother's biological son?
"Mom, Sixiao is back too."
"Sixiao is dating someone, and she brought her boyfriend here too."
After Yun Jiaojiao finished speaking, Xu Hongyu noticed Song Sixiao, Cao Yunze and Cao Heping and his wife hiding in the crowd.
"Xiaoxiao."
Xu Hongyu let go of Yun Jiaojiao's hand and strode to Song Sixiao.
"You just came to Jiangcheng to work. I thought you wouldn't go home for the New Year this year."
"Have you gotten used to living in Jiangcheng recently? Is your work going well?"
