After that meeting, until the new year, Yang Sijiang Zhuo never ran into the He family again.

On New Year's Eve, Jiang Chen and his parents watched the Spring Festival Gala sitting in the living room to watch the New Year. There were many fruits and nuts on the table. Yang Si picked up an orange, peeled it, grew a piece, and divided it into two halves and gave it to Jiang Zhuo beside him. , and handed half to Jiang Chen who was chatting with Huo Bo, Shen Xu and the others: "Chenchen, this orange is not sour, you have to taste it."

After Yang Si was pregnant, she was especially acidophilic. There were countless sour snacks and preserved fruits at home. Neither Jiang Chen nor Jiang Zhuo could eat sour things. Yang Si especially liked to tease them with these snacks. The face just laughed. Jiang Zhuo often said that after Yang Si became pregnant, she looked more like a little girl. As men, their father and son had to give in to their wife/mother.

"I don't want to eat." Just seeing this orange color, Jiang Chen felt his teeth become sore, he shrank back on the sofa, pursed his mouth and refused.

"It's really delicious, mom didn't lie to you, it's very sweet." Yang Si pulled Jiang Zhuo down, "Do you think it's sweet or not?"

Jiang Zhuo had already swallowed half an orange whole, and didn't chew it much at all. He smacked his mouth pretending to have an aftertaste, as if aftertaste: "Sweet."

Jiang Chen was skeptical, took the orange from Yang Si's hand, broke off the smallest piece, and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard the doorbell. As soon as he put the orange away, he immediately got up: "I'll open the door!"

"At this time, who could it be?" Jiang Zhuo looked out, frowning.

Yang Si picked up another orange and said without thinking: "It should be a neighbor. I heard that the custom here is to visit the house on New Year's Eve. Auntie Zhang told me about this yesterday. Relatives, so when I watch the New Year’s Eve, I will visit the neighbors.”

Yang Si was right, the ones who knocked on the door were Aunt Zhang and her husband next door. She came over with a basket of homemade food, and when she saw Jiang Chen, she handed it to him with a smile, and told Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si that this was also an old custom in the village. Eat less snacks and keep the year old. When the age was bad before, it was to hope that they would be healthy and healthy in the coming year. Now it is more about wishing the children and expressing love.

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Yang Si said with some embarrassment, "We didn't prepare anything for Niu Niu."

"Hey, she didn't come back for anything." Aunt Zhang has always been a cheerful person, with a loud voice: "The first time I saw Xiao Jiang, I thought this child was cute, and I wished I could take him back and be my own son. It’s fate that a family lives next to our house and being neighbors, so don’t push it away, these things are worthless, just a little thought.”

Yang Siwen said that she no longer refused. Knowing that Aunt Zhang and her husband were the only two people at home, she took them to watch the new year together. Other neighbors also came over several times. I also bought a lot of snacks when I was pregnant, and it would not be rude to give back to the neighbors.

Although there are only three members of the family, this New Year's Eve is still lively and lively because of these enthusiastic neighbors. When the coffee table is already piled up with all kinds of handmade food, it is only ten o'clock in the evening.

Aunt Zhang and her husband had just been pulled over by other neighbors, Jiang Chen sent the last neighbor away, and the house became quiet. Back in the living room, seeing what Yang Si and Jiang Zhuo were talking about, Jiang Chen asked casually, "Mom and Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Your father and I are discussing whether our family should send some things to the He family since it is the custom here." Yang Sidao: "It's just that I heard that the two elders of the He family are here, so they should have already fallen asleep at this point. It's not good to disturb the two old people's sleep when it's time."

"Today's New Year's Eve, I shouldn't go to bed so early. Even if I do, the elders are upstairs, and we shouldn't bother me in the past." Jiang Zhuo felt that according to etiquette, he should go to He's house, and he didn't know about it. Forget it, now that the two families live in Wugu Village, they should do as the Romans do and be more considerate.

Jiang Chen didn't expect his mother to want to deliver things to the He family. Remembering that He Yanjun, He Yanya and Mr. He were all there at this time, Jiang Chen politely persuaded: "Forget it, it's getting late now. , and the custom is to send homemade food, and there is nothing homemade in our family."

"It doesn't matter if you are self-made or not, the key is your heart." Jiang Zhuo said: "The last time your mother was hospitalized, your Uncle He and the others came to see it a few times, and later moved here, and our two families often deal with each other. In the future, the neighbors and neighbors will contact each other. There will be more, it’s better to be more courteous.”

Jiang Chen pursed his lips and was about to say something when he heard the doorbell ring again. He turned around and said, "I'll go and open the door."

Jiang Zhuo looked at Jiang Chen's back, a trace of doubt flashed across his tough face, he didn't know if it was his illusion, he felt that Jiang Chen's attitude towards the He family was a bit strange.

"What's wrong?" Yang Si asked curiously when he found that Jiang Zhuo's expression was wrong.

Jiang Zhuo shook his head: "It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much."

Yang Si laughed, "It is said that pregnant women think a lot. Why do you and your son seem to think a lot more than I do? My son is always thinking about things in the research institute, why do you suddenly think so much?" Got an idea."

the door

"Brother!" Holding a plate of strangely shaped dumplings, He Qianmin lifted his chin towards him with a smile: "I made these, and I sent them here as New Year's snacks for you, how about it?"

"Does anyone still use dumplings as snacks?" Jiang Chen insulted him with a smile, and looked behind him: "Auntie."

He Yanya nodded lightly, and explained: "Your parents and your uncle have something to do, and they didn't come down from the study all night. I will accompany Qian Min Qianyu to bring you food instead of them."

He Qianmin smiled, and was about to speak when his eyes suddenly focused, and the smile on his face faded.

He Qianjian appeared behind He Yanya, and said with a smile, "Auntie, why didn't you call me and my cousin when you came looking for Jiang Chen, we were going to fall asleep watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room."

He Yanya didn't expect that He Qianjian would follow, he paused with a calm look, and when he turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, he was a little more apologetic than he could see: "The things have been delivered, we will go back first."

"Let's go?" He Qianyang was pulled out by He Qianjian in a daze. He heard that he was going to leave just as he stood still. He was looking forward to seeing what Jiang Chen's house looked like, but he was suddenly a little disappointed.

"Of course I'll go, otherwise you still want to stay as a guest."

As soon as He Yanya finished speaking, Jiang Zhuo, who hadn't seen Jiang Chen coming back for a long time, had already looked for him: "Who is here?" He paused, and through the light on the porch, he could easily see the people outside the door. Immediately laughed: "Just now I was talking about whether I should send you some things, so you came here first, come in quickly."

He Yanya hesitated, and looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen turned his body sideways, said with a faint smile, "Please come in."

He Qianyang originally wanted to see the decoration of Jiang's house, but after hearing Jiang Zhuo's voice, he realized the embarrassing identities of Jiang Chen and He Qianjian at this time, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Why don't you forget it, another day Besides, now grandma is downstairs alone, and we are not at home, so I am not at ease."

Only then did Jiang Zhuo see the two unfamiliar faces, He Yanya and He Qianyang, and asked, "Who are these two?"

"This is Qianmin's aunt, and this is Qianmin's cousin." Jiang Chen glanced at He Qianyang, his eyes dimmed, and turned his head to introduce.

Jiang Zhuo nodded, very enthusiastically: "Come in."

Yang Si also urged inside: "Who is outside, Lao Jiang, why don't you and your son let guests in?"

He Yanya turned her head and said to He Qianyang: "Grandma is watching the Spring Festival Gala downstairs alone, you and Qian Jian go back to accompany her first, we will be back later."

He Qianyang immediately agreed, took He Qianjian's arm and walked out. He Qianjian secretly exerted force, pulled out his arm, and took a step forward: "I'm with you."

Seeing them tugging at the door, Jiang Zhuo smiled and said, "Then come in."

He Yanya pursed her lips, glanced at He Qianjian, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to think of, and finally didn't speak, and took the lead into Jiang's house.

He Qianmin's jaw was strained, and when he passed by He Qianjian, he lowered his voice to warn: "I advise you not to think anything wrong."

He Qianjian pursed his lips, and looked provocatively at Jiang Chen who was looking at this side. Seeing that Jiang Zhuo and He Yanya had already walked to the front, he also lowered his voice and said, "Jiang Chen can see his biological parents. I am also qualified to meet my biological parents."

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, He Qianjian smiled happily, and walked in past Jiang Chen and He Qianmin.

"you!"

He Qianmin caught up with the first half step, Jiang Chen held him back and said calmly, "Don't pay attention to him."

"But..." He Qianmin said worriedly, "I think He Qianjian is uneasy."

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth slightly curled up, a bit mocking: "I know exactly what he has in mind, but he may have overestimated himself and underestimated my parents."

"What do you mean?" He Qianmin was puzzled.

"You will know later."

When Jiang Chen and He Qianmin entered, He Yanya and He Qianyu were already sitting on the sofa, and He Qianjian was sitting where Jiang Chen had just been, talking to Jiang Zhuo.

Seeing Jiang Chen coming in, Yang Si immediately stood up: "What are you two muttering outside? You only came in after so long, is it cold?"

He Qianmin was already familiar with Yang Si, with a smile on his face, he said obediently, "It's not cold."

"Then sit down quickly." Yang Si walked to another sofa and sat down, patted the side, and Jiang Chen and He Qianmin sat down beside her.

He Qianmin glanced at He Qianjian, still a little wary: "Auntie, what were you talking about just now?"

Yang Si smiled and said: "I didn't say anything, just let them relax and eat something. But I didn't expect that you are Qian Min's aunt. You look so young, like you are in your twenties. "The latter sentence was said while looking at He Yanya.

He Yanya has been staying in the research institute since graduation, and she is really not used to these occasions that require socializing. She felt the kindness of Jiang Chen's parents, but she didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only change the topic: "How many times are you pregnant?" It's a month, it looks like a big month."

Yang Si rubbed her stomach, lowered her head and smiled, "It's been more than seven months, and the baby will be born in two months."

"So fast?" He Qianjian interjected, "Do you know if your stomach is a boy or a girl?"

"You won't know until you're born."

He Qianjian said casually: "For the second child, the son and the daughter are the same, there is no difference."

"Even if it's the first child, it's the same for sons and daughters." Yang Si smiled, but the smile in his eyes faded, "We like boys and girls."
