Qi Fenglian’s family came to pay a New Year visit. With more kids around, it got lively. The older kids had their own social circles; even though Qi Jianguo and the others were in university, Chu Zheng was making his way in the Special Zone, and they were all in big cities, so there was plenty to talk about.
As for the little ones, they had their own play styles. Xiao Bao had two vials of blood drawn and would tell everyone the doctor gave him a big needle, and it hurt so much. Every time he said it, it made people’s hearts ache, so he received plenty of comforting words.
When Qi Fenglian remarried, they registered but didn’t hold a banquet, so they took this New Year visit opportunity to buy wine and meat, cooked at home, invited the close family elders for a meal, introduced themselves, and thus announced the marriage.
On the fifth day of the New Year, Qi Fenglian’s family went to Chu Changxing’s family home, and the old home returned to its quiet state. Apart from taking care of the kids, Cheng Su would walk around the village or visit her parents’ home briefly, and that’s how the New Year’s time passed.
By the ninth day, she went out with Qi Jianguo and Qi Fengping to buy meat and vegetables to prepare for the feast for Qi Xiaoqi at Ding Shi’s place the next day. They also needed to borrow some tables, chairs, and dishes from each household, so things got busy.
On the afternoon of the ninth day, the family members came over to help slaughter chickens and ducks, prepare the ingredients, and amidst the festive atmosphere of seeds, peanuts, and candies, everyone joked and chatted, adding to the liveliness.
"Taiguo is back!"
While everyone was talking, someone sharp-sighted noticed Qi Taiguo swaying outside the courtyard wall.
Cheng Su was startled, turned around, and indeed saw Qi Taiguo in a military uniform, wearing boots, striding in. She was overjoyed, stood up, wiped her wet hands on her apron, and asked with a happy heart, "How come you’re back so soon? Weren’t you supposed to come tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I took half a day off and came back." Qi Taiguo looked at her bright eyes, and his heart was full of joy. If there weren’t people in the yard, he would have hugged her.
The affection in his eyes was clear to Cheng Su, which made her heart sweet. The two of them gazed at each other, causing the women helping with work to chuckle softly.
Cheng Su reacted quickly, nudged him, and said, "Haven’t greeted the others yet!"
