The morning of the New Year should be the warmest. With the firecrackers ringing, the sunshine is softly scattered on the window frame. The snow-white window paper is covered with colorful window flowers cut with greasy paper. They are like flowers blooming in the cold winter, embellishing the New Year with a touch of beauty, and also illuminating people's longing and hope for the New Year.

Teacher Jiang is old and went to bed at eleven o'clock last night. When she woke up in the morning, she woke up by listening to the sound of firecrackers. When she opened her eyes, she saw the window flowers printed in the morning light on the window frame. They were colorful and thought it was another year.

She immediately thought that this year was different from previous years. Since her son couldn't come back, she has become accustomed to celebrating the Spring Festival alone. Her biggest hope is that Xiaobai can come back, but she can't help it.

She can only hope.

When she heard the movement in the living room outside the door, she gradually remembered the excitement of last night.

People are old and have many things confused. The thought is clearly in their hearts, but they just can't reach their minds and can't even think about it.

She subconsciously wanted to get up and look at the brazier in the living room. She would start a fire again if there was no fire. On the one hand, it was to keep warm, and on the other hand, it was local customs that the fire on New Year's Eve cannot be extinguished and it must be burned overnight.

In the past, she was out of date alone and couldn't stay up all night, so she put more charcoal to make the fire smaller and leave Mars behind. She strives to burn all night and get up early the next morning to add charcoal.

She was about to get up, but suddenly she thought of something, and instead sat on the head of the bed, her eyes fell on the quilt in front of her. She saw the pattern of window grilles on the window frame being shined by the sun, and it was printed on the quilt. It was the sound of firecrackers in the distance, which were the firecrackers of other families in the village, one after another, dogs barking and chickens crowing.

She remembered that there was a sigh in the living room. She heard the movement and could rest assured that the fire in the brazier would not go out.

Last night, Zhang Tan and Xiaobai were vigilant, but Xiaobai couldn't stand it. At almost 1 o'clock, he fell asleep in Zhang Tan's arms, and was then carried into the room and slept until now.

Teacher Jiang originally wanted to sit in the bed for a while, but soon he thought about things and fell into memories. He woke up after a while.

When people get older, they are prone to recalling the past.

She got up and opened the door. Sure enough, she saw the warmth in the living room. The fire in the brazier was burning brightly. The door was open. The firecracker chips in the yard outside the house had been cleaned up and piled up together. A big rooster walked over the gate with a proud look...

She saw a young man sitting in the living room, lowering his head and adding charcoal to the brazier. It was vaguely vague that Jiang Ping was back.

"Happy New Year, Teacher Jiang." The other party looked up and saw her and said with a smile.

Only then did Teacher Jiang see clearly that it was Zhang Tan, not Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping can't come back.

Teacher Jiang looked disappointed, but soon covered up his disobedience at this moment and said calmly: "Zhang Tan, you are a happy new year, have you not been sleeping all night?"

"Sit here and take a nap."

As he said that, Zhang Tan got up and came to her, and smiled and formally greeted her with a New Year's greeting, which surprised Teacher Jiang because Zhang Tan smiled and kowtowed to her, just like Xiaobai who had last night.

Teacher Jiang hurriedly helped him up, why did he get this?

After Zhang Tan stood up, he said guiltily that he would treat him as his son in the future. He had already treated her as his mother.

Teacher Jiang was stunned. Seeing Zhang Tan's serious look, she couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.

Zhang Tan hugged her shoulder, patted her gently, and said sorry in a low voice.

Sorry? Why are you sorry? Zhang Tan didn't say it, there was no need to say it clearly. He knew, and he believed that Teacher Jiang could understand it.

He has always owe Teacher Jiang an apology.

Teacher Jiang’s knot could not be completely untied in an instant, but it was already untied.

She went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, but Zhang Tan did not come to help and wanted to leave some private space for Teacher Jiang, which made her cry a lot early in the morning.

The bedroom door suddenly opened. Xiaobai was wearing pajamas and a cap tiltedly. He appeared at the door with sleepy eyes, rubbed his eyes that had been opened with difficulty, and asked, "How could I hear my grandma crying?"

Zhang Tan said, "You must have heard it wrong. How could anyone cry during the Chinese New Year today? Are you so cold? You actually know how to wear a hat."

Xiaobai nodded, ran back to the room, got into the quilt, and forgot to take off the cap on his head.

Not long after she lay down, the sound of Dunzi calling her sounded outside the window.

"Xiaobai~~Xiaobai, I'll wish you a happy new year, Xiaobai--"

Dunzi squatted under the window of her bedroom and shouted. Xiaobai got up and lay down by the window and looked out. He saw Dunzi wearing a ball and wearing a cap covering his ears. His face was as red as a red persimmon hanging on the branches.

He bowed with both hands and bowed to Xiaobai for his early years.

It was really early in the morning. In the early years, his teeth were not brushed and his face had not been washed, his face had marks left by sleeping, and the saliva at the corners of his mouth were dry, just to become the first little friend in the world to wish him a happy new year.

He did it! Except for the mighty and majestic big rooster who crowed under the little white window, there was no other life passing by.

Xiaobai laughed, got up quickly, put on a down jacket, put on a hat, and ran out, and picked up firecrackers in the yard with Dunzi.

"Brother~~ I wish you a New Year." When Dunzi saw Zhang Tan, he took the initiative to step forward and kowtow to him.

Zhang Tan: →_→

While helping Luo Zikang up, he muttered in his heart, "What are you calling me?" Brother?" You take advantage of Xiaobai?"

"Thank you, I wish you a happy New Year, healthy growth, successful study, wait for me."

Zhang Tan returned to the room and took out a red envelope. This was the New Year's money for Dunzi.

Xiaobiao looked at it with a gaze, and Zhang sighed and said, "Do you want it? You haven't wished me a New Year's greetings yet."

"Class?" Xiaobai said, "I wish you a New Year's greeting last night, and you gave me a big red envelope."

"Last night was last night, today was today, and last night it was written off. If you wish me a happy new year, it would be fine."

Xiaobai immediately knelt down and shouted, "I don't know what to say, then Boss Zhang~~ I'll give you an early age!"

Zhang Tan helped her up and gave her another red envelope.

Xiaobai happily took out the red envelope he received last night from his pocket, put this together, and counted it, hey, there was one more one??

There was a line of words on the red envelope. Xiaobai took it to his eyes and read it, "Malanhua~~What does it mean? What is Malanhua?"

She showed it to Zhang Tan and asked Zhang Tan to help her recognize words.

Zhang Tan told her that it was given to her by her aunt last night, and the words on the red envelope were: A big red envelope given by Ma Lanhua.
