Chapter 210 Visiting relatives on the first day of the first lunar month
Xia Mi nodded, pressed the red envelope she received today under the pillow and lay down. "Mom is worried that you will make me disturb me and ask you if you want to go to bed downstairs, I will refuse."
Huo Jingchen raised his lips and smiled silently, "This is not what she is worried about."
When he went downstairs this morning, he heard his mother praise Xia Mi for her good sleep quality. Tonight, I am reminding him that it is just to order him not to have sex with her.
Huo Jingchen doesn’t understand. Is this kind of person he is in his mother’s mind?
Besides, there is more than this solution. "What does that mean?" Xia Mi lay on the bed, "I'm going back to my dad's hometown tomorrow, why don't I hear you mention grandparents?"
Grandpa Huo and grandma are gone.
But on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Huo family still had to go back to their hometown to clean up and meet their former elders.
"Grandpa left early, and I left when I was eight years old. Grandma... Grandma left seven years ago." Huo Jingchen's voice choked up when talking about grandma.
Xia Mi is not curious about Huo Jingchen's past, but it can be heard that grandma's death was a big blow to him.
Xia Mi didn't want people to recall the painful past, "I'm sleepy, come up and go to bed quickly, and I'll get up early tomorrow to go back to my hometown."
"Then I'll turn off the lights." Huo Jingchen raised his hand and touched his hair, and it was almost done.
-
The first day of the first lunar month.
According to the customs of the imperial capital, eat dumplings in the morning and go out to pay New Year's greetings.
Xia Mi helped to move the New Year gift to the car. Today there were a lot of relatives, and the trunk was filled with the New Year gift.
Huo Jinying's family returned to her mother-in-law's house.
The five people in the car were sitting down, Huo Yanshan was in the co-pilot, Huo Jingting drove, and the rest were sitting in the back.
My hometown is in the countryside and it takes 40 minutes to drive to arrive.
The car drove into the village. When passing by the entrance of the village, many people looked at the car.
The car parked at the door of a house. Zhao Min got out first, "I'll open the door."
Xia Mi observed the house through the window. It was obviously renovated. The house covers an area of 200 square meters, with a total of three floors, and even ceramic tiles were pasted on the exterior wall.
This is much more advanced than the houses in the city.
The door opened and the car drove into the yard.
Xia Mi got off the car and found that the yard was very spacious. She specially built a pavilion, which was used as a grape trellis, and the grape vines were wrapped around it.
The yard has not been cleaned up for too long, and the ground is covered with thick fallen leaves.
"Go into the house to rest for a while." Zhao Min had already opened the living room door and invited people to go in.
After entering the house, Xia Mi looked up at the interior of the house, which was inconsistent with the outside. Many of the inside were decorated with solid wood, and even the sofa was also a mahogany sofa, which was exquisitely made and was valuable at first glance.
"Last month, my mother and I came to clean it, but I didn't expect that if I didn't come for a while, I would fall into such a thick dust." Zhao Min skillfully took out the towel and walked towards the toilet with it. "There is no tap water in the village. Jingting, go to the well in the yard to get two buckets of water." Zhao Min went in and came out again, and then realized that there was no water.
Hawa Jingting had not even sat in the sofa, so he responded and got up to fetch water.
I cleaned the hygiene just last month, and it’s very fast today, just wipe it off.
In the following time, Huo Yanshan led his family to his neighbors to pay New Year's greetings. These neighbors helped their family a lot when they were young, and their distant relatives were not as good as those of their neighbors. This sentence is concrete.
Just go to a house and Xia Mi will know how much this house has helped.
After walking around, the things in the hands of several people did not decrease but were more frequent. The familiar neighbors around warmly invited the Huo family to have dinner at their own home.
Zhao Min is embarrassed. After all, there are a total of five people in this family, and it is not possible to solve the problem of one extra pair of chopsticks and multiple bowls. When we left, our neighbors gave them the vegetables and meat they grew.
The stove in my hometown is still a earth stove, and the firewood is delivered by my neighbors, so I can barely deal with it.
Sakami cuts apples next to it. "Xiaomi, what I said yesterday, you have to think carefully. The most important thing is to take the train in the first two months. There are so many people, and the journey is still crowded. Can your body bear it?" Zhao Min pulled Xiami last night and tried to persuade her to stay in the imperial capital to raise her baby.
Xia Mi also knew this truth, "Mom, I had it when Jingchen and I came. There was nothing wrong with this trip. The drive was longer than the ones back, so don't worry."
If Zhao Min could calm down, she would not mention this matter again. "I have asked someone to ask about the start of your school. After the New Year, you will stay in the imperial capital for a while. Then I will arrange for someone to drive you back." Huo Yanshan also attaches great importance to future grandchildren or granddaughter.
Xia Miche Apple's hand was paused, but she didn't expect that her father-in-law even found this. If she talked about the school opening, she would probably not be able to get through it.

Even Huo Jingchen began to turn against him. "I think it's OK. Although it's slower to ride the bus, it's safe and comfortable to sit. You can get off at any time to get some breath." Xia Mi looked at Huo Jingchen in surprise.
It was indeed comfortable to live in the imperial capital, but she was worried that she would easily become waste after a long time.
When she returns to Zhuifeng Island, it will take her a long time to get used to it. "Danian said it was a bit too long. I still have some things to deal with in Qingcheng. I plan to accompany my aunt and uncle back to my hometown." Xia Mi politely refused.
Zhao Min and Huo Yanshan refused after hearing this. What else did they want to say? Xia Mi gave Huo Jingchen a look. "Then it depends on your opinion. Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will protect her."
After much persuasion, the topic finally jumped over.
When the meal was about to be served and before the table was served, a lively sound came from the gate outside. "Uncle Huo, Aunt Zhao, Happy New Year." Xia Mi turned her head and looked at the door. What caught her eye were two men holding red gift boxes, followed by a slightly younger woman and man.
Two middle-aged men walked in front and said hello to Huo Yanshan, with a close tone.
Xia Mi thought it was a relative who had just missed.
Huo Yanshan looked at the face of his hair and put down his chopsticks. Although he was puzzled, he was still polite. "What are you?"
The middle-aged man walking in the front began to introduce, "I am Liu Po's son, my name is Yan Jun. This is my eldest brother Yan Min. These two young ones are my son and daughter-in-law."
After hearing Liu Po, Huo Yanshan got an impression.
"I remember, you are Xiao Jun'er."
Huo Yanshan remembered that the person in front of him was his playmate when he was a child. The relationship between the two was quite good, but he never came back after he joined the army.
Goodbye, both parties are already parents and cannot recognize them at all.
Huo Yanshan looked at the other party’s mention of something, and probably knew what he was doing. "Come on, we're going to have a meal. If you don't dislike it, sit down and eat a few chopsticks together." Huo Yanshan signaled that he was still eating.
Zhao Min listened and didn't leave.
