Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 60
"Come and eat an egg, get lucky!" Zhang Guifang handed everyone an egg.

After breakfast, all the people in the courtyard began to pay New Year's greetings to each other. Because Zhang Yu was still in the filial piety period, he hurried back to the house and closed the door.

Because if there are parents and elders in the family who have just passed away, it is not allowed to go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, and at the same time, it is not acceptable for others to come from home to pay New Year's greetings.

Closing the door is telling others that they don't need to come to their home to pay New Year's greetings.

When posting couplets on the 29th, blue couplets and two pieces of paper money were pasted on his door.

He spent the New Year with his sister-in-law because he knew that her sister-in-law loved him and would not let him spend the New Year alone, and he didn't care about it.

But if his family doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others won't mind, so after breakfast, he closed the door early.

Seeing her nephew closing the door, and turning her head to see the blue couplets pasted on the door, Zhang Guifang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye, my brother and sister-in-law have been away for more than half a year. Time can heal many scars, but the grief of losing a loved one cannot be healed.

Even though time has passed for a long time, whenever she thinks about it, she still feels sad and sad. She holds back her tears, and thinking that today is the first day of the new year, she barely makes herself smile.

Looking at his wife's appearance, Zhao Wenzhuo knew what he was thinking, and he also felt sad for the death of his brother-in-law.

When he married his wife back then, he was really poor and white. He thought that his elder brother and sister-in-law would not agree to the marriage, but he didn't expect his elder brother and sister-in-law to agree to his marriage proposal just after examining his character.

Even the place where he was going to get married was found by his elder brother and sister-in-law, and then he was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he sent it to him in a roundabout way, and he rented it for a small amount of money.

It took him many years to sit at a wine table, and knowing the price back then, he couldn't rent a nearby house at all.

It was also at that time that he found out that the house was rented by his brother and sister-in-law after looking for it for a long time and asking many people.

The reason why the rent is so cheap is also because the two of them paid more than half of the rent in advance, and no one told him.

When his wife had two children before her death, his salary was still very low, and he could barely support the family.

Everything the wife eats during pregnancy, the clothes and quilts after the baby is born is prepared by the sister-in-law.Because he has no parents, his wife is taken care of by his sister-in-law after several children are born.

Even when the third and fourth children were born later, and the sister-in-law was no longer here, she specially invited her mother and her natal sister-in-law to take care of the confinement child in advance.

When it comes to the help that elder brother and sister-in-law have provided to their family, it is difficult to explain in a day or two.

He patted his wife on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's all over, it's all over, Xiaoyu will definitely be fine, and live a good life."

Zhang Guifang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said to her husband: "Yes, Xiaoyu will be fine, we will be fine, we will all be fine!"

Zhang Yu, who returned to the house, looked at the lively scene outside, and suddenly felt a little lonely.

When he was busy for the New Year a few days ago, he didn't feel anything, but today he was free, especially after he closed the door and saw the bustle outside, suddenly the loneliness slowly swept over him, covering him , let him feel so lonely in this bustling world!
After watching his sister-in-law and uncle's family go out to celebrate the New Year's Eve, he suddenly felt so quiet around him that he could hear a needle drop, only the sound of his own breathing.

He felt homesick, the home in the 21st century, and gradually he fell asleep, and after falling asleep, he had a sweet dream.

Dreamed that nothing happened to him at all, and the rebirth was all his fantasy.

He just fell asleep on the table and continued to work step by step after waking up.

During the Chinese New Year this year, the company didn't have a holiday, and while he was scolding the company Zhou Papi in his heart, he worked overtime, called his sister-in-law and complained that the company didn't have a holiday, he missed her sister-in-law, and was homesick.

While comforting him, my sister-in-law showed him the New Year's Eve dinner, which made him feel even more homesick.

He went to work bored, and didn't get off work until after 10 o'clock in the evening. He was exhausted and wanted to take a taxi back to his place of residence, but because of the Chinese New Year, he couldn't get a taxi at all.

In the end, I could only scan a shared bicycle and ride it back. While riding, I rejoiced in my heart that the house I rented was relatively close to the company. I don’t know if this is considered comfort.

When I walked into the community and approached the entrance of my corridor, I looked up inadvertently, and suddenly seemed to see that the lights of the house I rented seemed to be on.

I didn't care about it, so I entered the corridor, still thinking that maybe my eyes were dazzled, and there might be no one in my house.

It wasn't until I opened the door of the room, was about to change the slippers and hung the key on the door, and saw a table of meals on the table, that I realized something, ignored the keys and changing shoes, and rushed to the kitchen, Saw that familiar figure.

"Little sister!"

"You're back, and you're working overtime again. Why are you leaving get off work so late? I've prepared dinner, so hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Didn't you hear you say you missed me on the phone? It happened that there was nothing to do at home during this time, so I asked your brother to book a bus ticket for me to come here. Not only did I come, but your uncle also came."

"Where is uncle?" Zhang Yu looked around while talking, "Uncle, uncle, where are you?"

"It's in the toilet."

In the following time, Zhang Yu sat between the two of them, enjoying the love of the two of them. He didn't need to bring food by himself, as the two of them could not finish the food.

The sister-in-law here put the dumplings next to him, "Come, have a taste."

Zhang Yu took a bite of the dumpling and said with some doubts, "Sister-in-law, this dumpling tastes so familiar!"

"Familiar, I made this myself, put it outside to freeze, and brought it with ice cubes when I was in the car. Don't you think it's the dumplings at home? Eat more, I I brought a lot this time, and I put it in the refrigerator for you, and you can order some if you want to eat."

"Yeah, sister, you are so kind."

"Eat meat, don't just eat vegetables, eat meat! This chicken and mutton are raised by our own family this year. You called last time to say that the meat outside is not good. This year, you specially raised a lot. When I came I killed a few of them and brought them all. I chopped them up in my hometown and divided them into portions. When the time comes, you can take out a portion and defrost it, and you can make it. Our own meat is fragrant."

"Uncle..."

Zhang Yu happily ate the food in the bowl, calling out sister-in-law, uncle, and the two old people from time to time, as long as he called, someone would answer.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but shed tears while eating, and whispered in his mouth: "That's great! It would be great if it keeps like this!"

When he woke up, Zhang Yu touched the wet corners of his eyes, and he cried.
