In the evening, Yan Zi sent Yi Huan back to Yi Mansion and went to the interrogation department. The spy dared to make trouble at his engagement banquet, so he naturally could not let it go. After several hours of interrogation, the spy had already told him, "My name is Lin Tonghai, 26 years old, a native of Jizhou, and has been a waiter at the Guodu Hotel for two years."

Lin Tonghai is not a spy, he is just an ordinary person. The reason why he appears at the engagement banquet with explosives tied to him was forced to do so. Half a month ago, his two children were captured; for the sake of his children's safety, he could only sacrifice himself.

"The man was wearing big sunglasses and a mask. I couldn't see what he looked like. Sir, I said everything. Please save my child." Lin Tonghai cried and begged.

"If something happened at the beginning, come and tell us that your children would have been saved long ago. Now half a month has passed. Those people are extremely vicious and may have died long ago." The person who interrogated said angrily. Although that was the case, he still sent people to search for clues to save people, and to do his best to leave them to fate.

No useful information was found from Lin Tonghai, but Yan Zihui judged the matter based on the intelligence, and sent a telegram to the intelligence personnel in the Japanese side, asking them to place two bombs near the Japanese Palace. The buildings in Japan were short and all of them were wooden. The bomb explosion caused a big fire. Many Japanese people were either killed, burned, or burned, or smoked in their sleep. According to statistics afterwards, more than 40,000 people were killed and injured, and more than 10,000 houses were burned and destroyed.

The Japanese intelligence agencies were busy, and Yan Zihui was not worried at all. They found out what they would find. After the intelligence personnel arranged the bomb, they lurked and would not inform the country of the news for the time being, nor would they take action.

The next day, the Yi family received an invitation from the Xiang family. Xiang Jianyun will get married on the 14th day of the 2nd month of the Gregorian calendar and the 29th day of the 12th lunar month. Seeing this date, Yi Huan tsk and said, "Do you want to be in a hurry? The next day is the big day."

"The old saying goes, marrying a wife is good for the New Year." Li Ying smiled, holding her eight-month-old belly.

"Next year is the year of a widow, so I'm rushing to hold a wedding this year." Yi's mother still looked dissatisfied and solved her doubts.

The Year of the Widow, also known as the Year of the Wave. There is a saying in folk customs that "The Year of the Widow" is not suitable for marriage, but this statement is ridiculous and has no scientific basis. The Year of the Widow" is just a coincidence between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. Whether or not the Spring Festival is just a time difference between different calendars. It is impossible to affect the cycle of the four seasons, and it is even more impossible to affect personal life. However, people in the secular world believe this. Yi Huan, who comes to this time and space against time, also feels that there is God's will in the dark.

"Next year will be the year of widows, so that we can stay with our younger sister for another year." When Tang Shuangyun got married, Yi Huan had not yet had a child. She raised her sister-in-law like a daughter. She couldn't bear to marry Yi Huan, but not only Yi's father and mother, Yi's brothers, but also her eldest sister-in-law.

"No matter how good the mother-in-law's family is, it's not as good as the mother-in-law. After all, my mother-in-law is not her own mother." Li Ying sighed casually.

Yi's mother was unhappy, "From the third family, how could I treat you badly as a mother-in-law?"

"Mom, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Mrs. Yan." Li Ying quickly went back to the bed. She was stupid for three years after pregnancy, but her mind was just saying it. "That Mrs. Yan looks like a very strict person. We are really worried about being her daughter-in-law. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"There is no easy way to get along with Mrs. Yan, "Tang Shuangyun nodded.

"The three of us are lucky. Only when we can live such a comfortable life with a good mother like our mother." Lu Lanting said with a smile.

"Come on, don't say good things to coax me. Maybe, how can you three of you bury me behind your back?" Yi Mu Ao curled his lips accusedly.

"I don't." The three daughters-in-law came forward and said good things to coax their mother-in-law.

Yi Huan looked around, pursing her lips and smiling.

After the three of them coaxed Yi's mother, who pretended to be angry, smiled. Yi Huan asked, "Mom, do you want to go to this wedding banquet?"

Yi's mother thought for a while, "After all, she is a relative, and she has sent all the invitations, so it's time to go."

"It's better not to go, so as not to let the Xiang family depend on our family." Tang Shuangyun was extremely disgusted with Xiang's family's greedy face. Now she finally got rid of it, and she really didn't want to be entangled by Xiang's family again.

"My sister-in-law is right. She had already broken up for the yard last time and there was no need to go there." Lu Lanting echoed.

Li Ying and Yi Huan nodded in agreement. After listening to the opinions of their daughter-in-law and daughter, Yi's mother decided not to attend the wedding banquet or give gifts. Since the marriage was cut off that day, it would be cut off completely and neatly.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year's Eve, according to the customs of Jizhou, the atmosphere of the New Year after Laba was over, and it became even more intense on the 23rd day. In the sound of folk songs on the streets and alleys, you can hear children singing everywhere: "Twenty-three, sugar melon stick, twenty-four, sweep the house, twenty-five, grind tofu, twenty-six, go to cut the meat, twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster, twenty-eight, put the noodles, twenty-nine, steam buns, stay overnight at thirty night, twist on the first day of the New Year."

On the 25th, two old son-in-laws of the Yi family and a new son-in-law came to give New Year gifts. Yi Ou also sent New Year gifts to the Tang family, and Yi Jing sent New Year gifts to the Li family. The Lu family's New Year gifts were about ten days ago, so they sent their servants to Shanghai City.

The son-in-law is a petite guest, especially Yan Zihui is the first time he came to the door as an unmarried son-in-law. He was greeted warmly at the Yi family, which is completely different from the treatment he received at the Yi family before he got engaged. Yi's mother kept picking up food for him, "Come on, Xuanling, eat chicken legs." "Eat a piece of honey duck wings." "This is steamed fish, eat a piece." Yi's mother's attitude towards her son-in-law has always been very good, better than her sons. She is a little thought of being a mother, hoping that her son-in-law can think about how good she is to him, and then be good to her daughter, and her daughter can have a man to rely on in her in-laws' house.

Seeing his mother's attentive appearance, Yi Yan joked: "Mom, there are two sons-in-laws, don't you care?"

Yi's mother glanced at her, "Wan Xue and Fang Qing, I greeted me like this when I first came to the door. Why? I'm not happy to call my old daughter's son-in-law today?"

Just as Yi Yan was about to answer the conversation, Yi's mother added, "If you are not happy, you will hold it in my mind."

"I'm not happy, I'm joking." Yi Yan said hurriedly.

Yi's mother snorted and continued to pick up food for Yan Zi to persuade him to eat; Yi Huan laughed and said, "Sister, I don't care about us old Heguzi now."

Yi's mother raised her chin and said, "That's right, I don't care about you anymore."

"Grandma (grandma), where are we?" several small people asked in unison.

Yi's mother smiled, "Good grandson, of course I don't want it. I'm picking it up and eating it, don't give it to these old corns."

"Mom, your bias is so biased to the point of view." Yi Yan smiled with a funny smile.

"I just went to the open, what can you do to me?" Yi's mother said arrogantly without fear.

The Yi family is a noble family, and the rules are actually quite strict, and they also pay attention to eating, not talking or talking. However, today I am happy, no one cares so much.

After lunch, Yi Huan went out with Yan Zi to watch a movie. There are too few entertainment activities now, and there are not people who can make people like this or that. Apart from watching movies, they just go to the dance hall to dance. Yi Huan doesn't like a dance hall that is mixed with fish and dragons. Today, there happened to be a new movie, and it was a movie made by China. The plot of the movie is very simple, a story about a rebellious son murdering his father for money and finally being sentenced to death.

The Chinese New Year was busy, and a few days passed. On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiang Jianyun got married. The Yi family did not go, so naturally they could not know that Xiang Jianyun got married. In addition to the next year, the year of widows, there was another secret. After the Xiang family's two brothers split up, Xiang Jianyun's father's branch rented three rooms in the slum. The house was too narrow and could not live in, so they thought of marrying Xiang Jianyun and making room for their second son Xiang Jianting to marry him.

On New Year's Eve, fireworks were everywhere and the sky was filled with stars. Yi Huan led several nieces to stand under the eaves, covering his ears to watch the fireworks. He was not careful that Yi Moran used the fireworks to scare people with a firework stick, frightened the little girls so much that they ran away and hid in his mother's arms.

Tang Shuangyun walked over and slapped Yi Moran hard for a moment, "Boy, carefully burn a few sisters, get out."

"Old everyone, it's the New Year, and it's the lively and bustling thing." Yi's mother quickly helped her grandson plead for mercy.

"Mom is right. These little girls were yelling to set off fireworks just now. They were so brave. They are pretending to be cat now." Lu Lanting pushed the two daughters in her arms, "Okay, okay, stop getting into it. Are you trying to get into my stomach and give birth to you again?"

After watching the fireworks, the women entered the warm room and chatted and played cards. Yi Huan was used to going to bed early. She couldn't hold on at ten o'clock and kept yawning, "Mom, I'm going back to my room to sleep." Every year she didn't have twelve o'clock.

"Do you want to eat a bowl of dumplings before sleeping?" Yi's mother asked.

Yi Huan said as she walked out: "I don't eat, I'm not hungry."

At this time the phone rang, Yi Huan picked it up casually, "Hey."

"Huan'er." Yan Zihui's voice came from the microphone.

"It's me." Yi Huan laughed.

"Do you miss me?" Yan Zi asked.

"We met just a few days ago." Yi Huan smiled.

"It's been five days since I saw you, and one day doesn't see you, like three autumns later." Yan Zihui argued.

Yi Huan looked back at his mother and sister-in-law, lowered his voice, "I miss you."

"Come to the intersection tomorrow morning." Yan Zi replied softly.

"Old time, old place." Yi Huan laughed.

"Don't you have to stay up to the New Year?" Yan Zi asked.

"I'm about to go back to the room to sleep." Yi Huan laughed, "You can be so willful and casual as a girl."

Yan Zi turned around and curled lips, "It's okay to be a wife."

Yi Huan chuckled, "I'm hanging up the phone, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, good night." Yan Zi replied.

Yi Huan hung up the phone first, and Yan Zi replied and heard the noise from the microphone before hanging up the phone.

The next day, it was dawn, and heavy snow fell, covering the sky and overwhelmed. Yi's father looked at the snow and said with a smile, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest."

Yi Liang echoed next to him: "The farm will be a great harvest next year."

"Food is the most important thing for people. As long as you are not hungry, you can live your life." Yi's father sighed and said with emotion that the famine of the previous year almost made the landlord's family no longer have food stored.

"Dad, the heating room, your baby daughter, I want to wish you a happy new year." Yi Huan walked over and said.

"Okay, okay." Yi's father happily entered the warm room, sat in a seat with Yi's mother, waiting for his children, grandchildren, and men and women to kowtow to them.

First, there are Yi Ou couples, then Yi Leng couples, and then Yi Leng couples. Yi Huan led his nieces and nieces to "I wish my father (grandfather), mother (grandmother) a happy New Year, all the best, and good health in the new year."

"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Yi's mother smiled and said.

Everyone had a big red envelope. After breakfast, Yi Huan put on a pink rabbit-haired shawl and went out with an oil-paper umbrella. When Yi Ou saw it, she frowned, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, where are you going?"

Tang Shuangyun glanced at him, "The old-fashioned guy who doesn't understand the charm must have gone out to see Xuanling."

Yi Ou's face looked even more ugly, "Call her back to me, what's the point."

"What are you doing? What's wrong with the unmarried couple meeting each other? Do you want to be the Queen Mother and hold the couple apart?" Tang Shuangyun angrily buryed him and forced him back to the room.

Yi Huan didn't know that his elder brother and sister-in-law had a fuss. When he went out, he headed to the intersection. The ground was covered with snow and whispering. Yi Huan was wearing a straight long cotton robe embroidered with moon-white red plums, and sheepskin boots on his feet, which was not cold at all.

When he arrived at the intersection, Yi Huan saw the man wearing a military cap and a black cloak leaning against the military car, trotted over, tiptoed, raised his umbrella, and complained: "It's snowing, what are you doing when standing outside? You won't wait for me in the car."

Yan Zi brushed away the snowflakes falling on his shoulders and hugged Yi Huan in his arms, "Happy New Year, Huan'er."

Yi Huan raised the corners of her lips, "Xuanling, Happy New Year."

It was cold outside, and the two got into the car. Yi Huan laughed and asked, "Where are you going to take me?"

Yan Zi leaned back, pecked her lips lightly, and sighed, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, if I abduct you, my uncle will be angry."

Yi Huan burst into laughter, "I thought Captain Yan was not afraid of the world."

Yan Zi replied in a deep voice: "Actually, I am afraid that you will not want me. I am afraid that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will not be satisfied with me. I will not let you marry me. I am afraid that if I go to the battlefield, I will not come back..."

Yi Huan covered his mouth, "It's the New Year, don't say such unlucky words. You won't have any trouble when you go to the battlefield. Gods and Buddhas in the sky will bless you, and I will wait for you to return safely."

Yan Zi grabbed her hand and kissed her, "Huan'er, thank you."

"Are you going to fight again? Who will fight with? Su or Japan?" Yi Huan asked.

"When the weather gets warmer, fight with Cao Chuanjing from western Shanxi." Yan Zi paused for a moment and added, "This is a military secret, don't tell others."

"I know, I won't tell anyone else, don't worry." Yi Huan will not let Yan Zi back on her trust.

The two chatted for a while, then Yi Huan got out of the car and went home. We met on the first day of the Lunar New Year and relieved the pain of missing each other for several days.
