As it was getting late, Li Shaoguo stood at the gate of the yard and looked around, just to see if there were pairs of figures on the road in front of his house.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Li Shaoan and Sun Liping appear.

In desperation, I returned to the main hall and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already six o'clock in the evening.

"What, are you here?"

Tan Hongxia was bringing out the last bowl of vegetables from the stove, which was stewed with beef with potatoes, which was a dish that Li Shaoan liked very much.

Since the family came to live in the county town, Li Shaoan has been subsidized for expenses, and his living standards have improved a lot. Whenever he wants to eat meat, Tan Hongxia would go to the vegetable market to buy some back.

"It's not yet, I don't know if Shaoan and Liping have left."

"Wait a little longer, Liping is different from us now. She is busy with official duties, so it is normal for her to deal with something."

"Well, I'll get more charcoal and make a few more stoves later."

Li Shaoguo said as he was about to go to the utility room behind to pick up a bucket of charcoal. As soon as he turned around, he saw two figures appearing at the door. It was Li Shaoan and Sun Liping who were coming in the wind and snow.

The two of them didn't hold umbrellas, and there were a lot of snowflakes on their clothes and hair. However, it looked so envious that the two of them leaned hand in hand.

"Shao'an, Liping, you're here." Li Shaoguo hurried to the door and greeted the two of them inside, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

"Liping, the work at the unit is too busy today." Tan Hongxia also walked up and took Sun Liping's hand and walked inside.

Li Shaoan rushed to say, "It's pretty early for Pingping and their unit to get off work, but we have been here all the way, so we arrived a little late."

When Tan Hongxia heard this, she certainly understood the reason. The two children in love naturally wanted to have more time to be alone, braved the heavy snow all the way and snuggled up to each other. It was nothing if it arrived late.

"It's great if you come, it's great if you come. Today, the whole family will celebrate the New Year together."

Li Shaoguo was not as thoughtful as Tan Hongxia. He only hoped that Li Shaoan and Sun Liping would be able to reunite together. Now that they had arrived, they were already happy.

"You guys come on the table quickly. I'll go to the back room to get some charcoal and burn a few more stoves later."

"Brother, let me go."

Li Shaoan was worried about Li Shaoguo's health.

Li Shaoguo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this little thing. It's just a bucket of charcoal, and my brother can still lift it."

Li Shaoan didn't care about that much, so he wouldn't let him stop. As long as he was in the situation, he would never let his elder brother do any physical work. He immediately rushed to the utility room with the iron bucket and tongs containing charcoal.

Sun Liping didn't want to separate from Li Shaoan for a moment, so she also came to the utility room.

When I opened the door, there was a smell of urine coming from the utility room.

Sun Liping frowned slightly when she smelled the smell.

"This is the smell of mouse urine, it's not smothering you." Li Shaoan turned around and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Sun Liping's appearance.

The embarrassment flashed on his face, and Sun Liping quickly returned to her usual expression and asked, "Is there a mouse here?"

Li Shaoan nodded and said, "That's right, it's like this in winter. Those mice will hide in charcoal piles for winter and leave urine stains on the charcoal. We used to be like this when we spent the winter in Tieshan Bay, and we are used to this smell."

For some reason, when Sun Liping heard Li Shaoan talk about his hometown in Tieshanwan, she felt a little sad. She thought that when he was a child, he lived in the closed mountains and his living conditions should be very bad.

"You just stand at the door and put a flashlight on me, I'll go in and get the charcoal."

Li Shaoan was afraid that Sun Liping would not be able to stand the smell, so he handed the flashlight to her and asked her to wait outside the door. He went inside and chose some good charcoal without smoke and took it out.

On the way back, Sun Liping held Li Shaoan's other hand, and said with great intention of being accountable, "What did you call me in front of my elder brother and sister-in-law just now in the main hall?"

"Pingping, what's wrong?" Li Shaoan deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Sun Liping's cheeks were flushed with shame and complained: "Only my parents call me Pingping. Besides, you didn't always call me Liping, why did you suddenly change your name so stingy? And you called me like that in front of your elder brother and sister-in-law. What do you want me to do?"

Li Shaoan laughed, immediately pulled out his hand and put his arms around Sun Liping's waist, and said, "What's the matter? Isn't we close? And I don't call Pingping and my elder brother and sister-in-law, I don't think so?"

"How do you know that your elder brother and sister-in-law won't laugh at me behind my back?"

"What do they laugh at you for doing? It's too late for them to like your sister-in-law such a good brother-in-law."

As he was about to walk into the main hall, Sun Liping took off Li Shaoan's arm and glared at Li Shaoan with joy, "I didn't find you so slick before."

Li Shaoanle said: "Then I found out now, it's too late to run away."

When the two returned to the house, Li Shaoan handed over the charcoal to Li Shaoguo. After looking around, he didn't see the figures of Li Songlin and Li Songshu. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother, where are the two nephews?"

"Your sister-in-law is locked up in the house to do her homework." Li Shaoguo lowered his head and fiddled with the charcoal fire.

"Sister-in-law, call those two kids out and have dinner together." Li Shaoan smiled at Tan Hongxia.

Tan Hongxia opened her throat and shouted into the room, "Pine trees, pine forest, uncle and aunt are here, come out for dinner."

As soon as the words were finished, the door was opened and the two boys rushed out like two monkeys.

Sun Liping called Li Songlin to her side, touched his head, and asked with a smile: "Songlin, how are the winter vacation homework assigned by the teacher?"

Li Songlin's face turned red and hesitated: "There are all, all are completed."

"It's not enough to complete it alone. You have a weak foundation. Don't miss your homework during the holidays. You have to arrange your time to review every day." In the past, Sun Liping was able to improve her teaching results at No. 4 Middle School, so she had to urge Li Songlin to come at ease.

"Okay, I will definitely review it." Li Songlin lowered his little head.

Li Shaoan quickly rescued his nephew, patted his back, and said, "Songlin has grown a lot in the past six months, and has become a little adult. Come and serve it. It's the age of having a long meal. You must eat two more bowls later."

Li Songlin was rescued by Li Shaoan and rushed to the table as if he had received an amnesty.

Tan Hongxia smiled and said, "Come on, let's serve. Today is the New Year's Eve, and our family is reunited."

Every time this time, it was the most uncomfortable time for Li Shaoguo. Because he was greedy, such a delicious dish was so sad that he couldn't get drunk because of his kidney disease.

"or……"

"no!"

Before Li Shaoguo could say the word "drink some wine", he was scolded by the whole family.
