"The holiday will start tomorrow." Wenqin stood in the room and said to several subordinates, "Everyone pays attention to safety during the holidays, drink more leisurely during dinners, and be careful on the way back to their hometown."

As he said that, he called Zhan Xi again, Yuan Sichen and Qian Yun, "You three should be careful when eating. Don't eat too much fish and meat to make you fat. You have to go on stage when you come home. Go home and practice the dance more. I'll see what you dance last time! It's not all at all."

Yuan Sichen looked sad: "Sister Wen, we are not professional! Isn't this just everyone's fun!"

Wenqin smiled and said, "You can't dance like three people, especially if you are happy, you are in the C position! You are at the front, do you know if you practice hard?"

Zhan Xi drooped her head: "I understand..."

Wenqin clapped her hands: "Okay, after get off work, see you all after the Spring Festival!"

Yuan Sichen cheered: "See you after the Spring Festival! Thank you Sister Wen for your hairy crab!"

Zhan Xi packed up her things and left the company. It was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. The long Spring Festival holiday began, but she didn't expect it at all.

She also carried a box of hairy crab gift boxes in her hand, three male and three female, which was a departmental welfare given by Wenqin privately. It is said that her husband is a dealer. Hairy crabs are prone to death, and Zhan Xi couldn't finish them alone, so she called Zhan Jie and said that she would take the crabs to his house for dinner at night.

Originally, I could give it to Xiaoyu...

Zhan Xi took the subway to Zhan Jie's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that something was wrong.

Zhan Jie sat on the sofa angrily. Weiwei wanted to watch cartoons, but he shouted a few times. Qin Fei was cooking in the kitchen with a stern face. Zhan Xi took the hairy crabs in and asked quietly: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you and my brother?"

Qin Fei looked at her and said, "Zhanxi, I'll ask you, last year, the year before yesterday, did I go to your house for the New Year?"

Zhan Xi recalled and replied: "Yes."

Qin Fei said loudly: "Your brother and I agreed before we got married. I would spend two years at your house in New Year's Eve, and I would have to go back to my parents' home for a year. I should have gone back to my parents' home last year, but your mother said that my grandma was in poor health and was afraid she couldn't get over it, so she cheated us back. Grandma is all very well now! This year, I should go back to my parents' home for the New Year no matter what! Your mother doesn't let her go, do you say it, does it make sense?!"

Zhan Xi turned to look at the living room and found that Zhan Jie had come over. His voice was not small: "Qin Fei, don't complain to Huanhuan. Where to celebrate the New Year? It's not that I won't go back to your house. When will I not go back to New Year's Eve? What's the difference between going back to New Year's Eve and going back to the third day of the New Year?"

Qin Fei glared at him: "Yes, where is the New Year not celebrated? Then why don't you go back to my house on New Year's Eve and go to your house again on the third day of the New Year?!"

Zhan Jie also wanted to say that Qin Fei spoke first before him: "You are two siblings, my parents have only one daughter! I haven't been back for New Year's Eve for three years! I've been married to you for eight years, and I have only been back twice in total! The time I went to your house from Qiantang and went to my parents' house is obviously the same! My parents asked me three months ago, and I promised them! I have also confirmed with you! At this critical moment, you told me not to go, are you sick?!"

Zhan Jie frowned: "Our custom is to get married and go to the man's house for the New Year. You can go back to the woman's house in the first lunar month!"

"Ha!" Qin Fei sneered, "Why do you agree to do it when you get married? I don't have this custom at home! Your sister!" She pointed to the joy, "She gets married in the future, will she not go back to her parents' home for New Year's Eve? Can your mother agree? Are you teasing me!"

Zhan Jie glanced at Zhan Xi and couldn't answer.

Zhan Xi quickly smoothed out: "Brother, you have promised your sister-in-law, so let's accompany your sister-in-law to go home for the New Year. It's the same if you come back after the third and fourth grades of the lunar calendar."

Zhan Jie sighed: "Our mother called me every day and asked when we would go back. I promised her."

Qin Fei was almost angry: "Okay! Then you go back. Anyway, your mother doesn't like me. Let's go back to their own house to find their own mother! I'll tell you Zhan Jie that this year, I'll go back to my parents' home for the New Year!"

Zhan Jie raised his eyebrows and asked, "You said lightly, where is your son?"

Qin Fei replied: "Of course my son is following me!"

"No!" Zhan Jie said, "My mother had just met Weiwei for a while when she got home on New Year's Day. We left early in the morning the next day. We won't let her see her grandson more during the New Year!"

Qin Fei was shocked: "Oh! Your mother wants to see her grandson, but my mother doesn't want to see her grandson? What's your logic?"

Zhan Jie yelled: "Anyway, it doesn't work, it doesn't work! I promised you to go to your house in the third grade of junior high school, or you can do it in the second grade of junior high school! Stay at your house for four nights, right?"

Qin Fei looked at him coldly for a while, suddenly laughed and shook her head and said, "Forget it, son, you can take it with you, take your sister, and drive the car back to your dear mother's house. I'll take the bus back to my parents' home by myself. You don't have to come to my house in the first lunar month. We meet here on the sixth day of the New Year, and no one has to run around. What do you love to go! What do you love to do? I won't serve you anymore!"

As she said that, she took off her apron and threw it on Zhan Jie, leaving the kitchen regardless of the dishes being cooked in the pot.

"Sister-in-law!" Zhan Xi wanted to chase after her, but Qin Fei ignored her. When she entered the study, she slammed the door and blocked Zhan Xi outside the door.

Weiwei was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything in the living room. Zhan Xi went back to persuade Zhan Jie: "Brother! What are you doing? You agreed to your sister-in-law, why don't you keep your word?"

Zhan Jie was no longer angry at this time and had no choice but to have no choice but to say: "You don't know our mother, you ask us to go back every day. I agreed that day when my mind was hot, thinking that she could understand it. Isn't it just that everyone fell out of the way? Is it different when I go back?"

"Of course it's different!" Zhan Xi said, "My sister-in-law's house is not far away. She just wants to have a New Year's Eve dinner with her parents. The key is that you promised her and then went back on your word. I'm angry too!"

Zhan Jie put his waist on his back and said nothing.

Zhan Xi picked up the apron on the ground and put it on, saying, "I'll cook, and leave after I finish it. You are really good. I'll apologize to my sister-in-law tonight and accompany her home for the New Year. I'll just take the bus back by myself. I'll persuade my mother."

"I'm not!" Zhan Jie glared, "Tomorrow at 6 pm, I will bring Weiwei to pick you up after get off work. You have to pack up your belongings and wait. I'm spoiled her! I won't pull her back!"

Zhanxi: "…"

She really wanted to say, Brother, you are trying to die!

Zhan Xi finally didn't eat any of the six fat hairy crabs. She helped Zhan Jie finish the meal and steamed the crabs. She had no appetite at all and she was just shy.

When he returned to Qingquejiayuan, Zhanxi passed by the pet hospital at the entrance of the community. Thinking of the gift, he went in to consult.

The gift is too small, and it is impossible for him to stay at home for so long, and Zhan Xi dare not take it home. Chi Guilan still believes that her daughter is allergic to all hairy things, and the gift is definitely a worry when she falls into her mother's hands. The best way is to go to a pet store for foster care.

This pet hospital is not closed during the Spring Festival and has foster care services. Zhan Xi applied for a deposit value card, paid 500 yuan in advance, and agreed to send the kitten the next day. She calculated that she would have to spend a little over a thousand yuan during the entire Spring Festival holiday. Alas... it was really expensive to raise a daughter.

——

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhan Xi sent the gift to the pet hospital, and then called Zhan Jie, urging him to accompany Qin Fei home, and she took the bus back by herself.

But Zhan Jie was like a stinky and hard stone at this time. He didn't listen to it no matter how he said it. He shouted that his younger sister should not meddle in other people's business and just wait for him to pick him up in the afternoon.

Zhan Xi did a big cleaning at home, sorted out the things in the refrigerator, and finally sat down on the sofa and stared blankly.

Since Xiaoyu's birthday, she has never seen him again and has never sent a WeChat message.

That night, she cried and sent the messages that Xiaoyu didn't reply, and she hadn't replied for several days.

Although Zhan Xi said that they were still good friends, she felt that Xiaoyu would never pay attention to her again.

In the afternoon, Zhan Jie brought Weiwei to pick up Zhan Xi, and Qin Fei was indeed not in the car.

Weiwei sat in the back seat with red eyes. Zhan Xi knew that his nephew must have cried, so he could only advise him: "In two days, your father will take you to find your mother, don't be sad."

Weiwei shouted: "Dad is a bad guy! I don't want to go to grandma's house! I want mom!"

Zhan Jie had a headache: "Didn't your aunt tell you that we will go to find your mother in two days!"

Weiwei cried again with a "wow" sound, his calves kept bumping: "I want my mother now! I want my mother! I want my mother..."

Zhan Xi held him in his arms and kept coaxing him. Both of them were very disappointed, and there was no joy in the car that was about to celebrate the New Year.

It was already very late to return to Fuchun Town. Chi Guilan waited at the door again and found that his daughter-in-law had not come. She asked Zhan Jie: "Where is Qin Fei?"

Zhan Jie said patiently: "I'm going back to my parents' home, I'll go to find her in the second year of junior high school."

Chi Guilan immediately fell down: "It's getting more and more distorted! When the New Year is over, my son doesn't want it? When the relatives come to ask, what do we want to say? I thought we were wrong with her! And you, why do you go there on the second day of the lunar month? Didn't you go there in the fourth day of the lunar month in previous years?"

Zhan Jie said: "In previous years, I went there in the third year of junior high school!"

"What's the difference between the third and fourth grades of the lunar calendar?" Chi Guilan walked home in annoyance, then looked back at Zhan Xi, "What are you doing? The little girl has no energy at all! Don't hunch your back! I'll tell you Huanhuan..."

Chi Guilan held his daughter's arm: "Your aunt told me that day that a young man from Tong County, 27 years old, working in Qiantang, from the court! I have asked her to arrange a meeting with you in the third year of junior high school, and you can dress up well then."

Zhan Xi said, "I won't go."

Chi Guilan was stunned: "Why not go?"

Zhan Xi looked at her mother: "No, I won't go anyway."

"You must go!" Chi Guilan's tone could not be refuted.

Zhan Xi whispered, "Even if I go, I won't be able to speak. Mom, please do whatever you want."

Chi Guilan was really angry now, scolding Qin Fei, Zhan Jie, husband, and daughter. Weiwei cried like a loudspeaker next to him. Zhan Xi only felt a headache and went upstairs with his bag and said, "I won't eat anymore, I'll take a shower and go to bed."

"Rebel!" Chi Guilan stood at the entrance of the stairs and looked up at her, and finally "hummed" and went to make dinner for her son and grandson.

——

On New Year's Eve, Luo Jingyu did not go home early and did the work of the cherry blossom tree at home alone.

He gave Zhong Peng and Mo Yang five days off, and the two children came to work again on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival he held was very generous. After the class this month, the two children didn’t have to worry about pocket money for the next semester, so they were very motivated.

At 3 pm, Luo Jingyu went out for the New Year's Eve dinner. When he took the elevator downstairs, he was very nervous, afraid that the elevator would stop on the eighth floor and afraid that he would see the girl.

After thinking again, she must have gone home on New Year's Eve afternoon.

Walking out of the unit door, Luo Jingyu lowered the brim of the hood, wore a mask, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the community. When he passed by the pet hospital, he suddenly stopped and looked into the hospital through the glass.

The pet hospital seems to be more lively than usual, with many cages, each cage with cats and dogs, and in the cage not far from the glass window, there is a white figure familiar to him.

He is very small, smaller than other cats, just kindergarten kids among kittens.

Luo Jingyu pushed the door and walked to the cage that was close to the floor, and squatted down. There were cat litter boxes, two bowls, a small cat crawler, and a cat nest... Luo Jingyu put his fingers to the cage. The kitten in the cage seemed to recognize him, and his little paws were pulled on the cage, with his mouth open, looking very lively.

——Are you calling me? Gift.

Luo Jingyu thought: Why are you here? Your mother has returned home, right? She didn't even bring you home. How many days do you have to stay here? Do you have to stay in a cage? It's so pitiful, such a small place.

"Sir?" The clerk came over and stood behind him and called him, but Luo Jingyu didn't respond.

The clerk called twice and patted his shoulder: "Sir?"

Luo Jingyu then turned around.

He stood up and took off his mask, pointed to the gift, took out his cell phone and typed it to the clerk: [This cat owner, my friend, can I take the cat home?]

The clerk said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid this won't work..."

Luo Jingyu opened the album of the mobile phone to show her, and there were so many photos and videos of gifts inside.

"..." the clerk thought for a while and said, "It's OK, but I need to confirm with its owner."
