520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

in previous years.

Xiang Huanian and his friends would go to Chen Aifang's hometown to celebrate the New Year.

This is also true this year.

Because Xiang Aiguo has too many brothers and sisters of the same generation.

Xiang Aiguo's mother, who gave birth to many children in her life and is also the grandmother of Xiang Huanian and Chen Dejie, felt that there were so many people during the Chinese New Year that her old house could not accommodate it and was too crowded.

Therefore, I will invite my close and promising children to have New Year's Eve dinner with me.

Xiang Aiguo was obviously assigned to the group with no future, and the old lady told him to just bring his wife and children to see her during the first month of the lunar year.

That's why Xiang Huanian always went to his grandmother's house to celebrate the New Year.

When he was a child, Xiang Huanian was sent to his grandmother by Chen Aifang and raised for a period of time.

Although his grandmother was busy with farm work and taking care of his paralyzed grandfather in bed, she didn't have much time to pay attention to Xiang Huanian. However, Xiang Huanian remembered that when he was a child, he accidentally dropped a bowl and was not scolded. Instead, his grandmother comforted him by cooking him a bowl of noodles with lard.

Although noodles with lard were not very precious when Xiang Huo was young, they were a very deep memory among her few happy childhood experiences.

So, when she came back this time, Xiang Huanian did not prepare any red envelopes for the New Year, except for her grandmother.

Chen Aifang's hometown is near an AAAAA-level scenic spot.

Here, mountains and rivers dominate.

In rural areas, everyone builds their own houses and there are very few factories. People basically make a living by farming or selling mountain products, so the pollution to the environment is minimal.

Many years have passed, and it is still a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Winter is extremely cold, but in the mountains, there are vegetation all over the mountains, and the humidity in the air is so high that it makes people feel purified.

In such an environment, the temperature will naturally be much lower than in the city outside.

When turning around each mountain bay, you can clearly feel the change in temperature.

The low temperature outside was transmitted into the car through the gaps between some parts, taking away a certain amount of carbon dioxide, making the drowsy and warm air inside the car cool.

The brains of several people in the car, which had been numbed by the warmth of carbon dioxide, suddenly became clear.

To a certain extent, it also alleviated Xiang Huanian's motion sickness.

Originally, Xiang Huanian wanted to open the window a little to get some fresh air.

The car does not have internal and external circulation. For a journey of more than an hour, if it only relies on internal circulation and the air coming in through the window gaps, such a small replacement of oxygen will be very dangerous over a long period of time, not to mention the comfort.

But it was such a cold day, Xiang Huanian only drove for a short while before he could no longer feel the cold wind. Chen Aifang, who felt that the car was not warm enough, asked Xiang Aiguo to take control and close all the windows.

During the Spring Festival, although the highway was free, Xiang Aiguo followed Chen Aifang's instructions and took the country road with much fewer vehicles.

Although the window was only opened a crack, the cold air that kept coming in still made the two parents in front, who were already in a warm environment and didn't want to get cold, frown.

Seeing Xiang Huanian was upset, Chen Dejie did not speak for her, but sighed to himself and said:

"It's so stuffy in the car, Dad, Mom, aren't you bored? Can I open a window and get some fresh air?"

Her own precious son had spoken, and Chen Aifang had no choice but to ask Xiang Aiguo to open the window on Chen Dejie's side halfway. But it didn't stay open for long, probably just a few seconds, before she had someone close the window, while admonishing him earnestly:

"Just open it once in a while. It's so cold outside. If you keep it open for too long, you'll catch a cold. It's New Year's Eve, and you don't want to get sick. Also, with the windows open, there's a lot of resistance and it consumes a lot of fuel. Gas is so expensive these days..."

Chen Aifang kept nagging, and even at Chen Dejie's request, she did not indulge him too much.

Xiang Huanian, whose motion sickness had been slightly reduced by the low temperature around him, now had the energy to look at the scenery outside the car window.

Looking out the car window, the distant mountaintops were shrouded in clouds and mist, like curling fairy air, and the unmelted snow was faintly visible.

Apart from anything else, the mountain view is really beautiful.

After more than an hour of turning and twisting the mountain road, which was an arduous journey for Xiang Huanian, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Oh, we're finally here. My old waist is getting tired after sitting for so long... Hey, don't forget to take the things from the back of the car. Take them all down..."

Chen Aifang was standing by the car, carrying her small brand-name bag. Like a supreme commander, she stood there and talked to Xiang Huanian, Chen Dejie and Xiang Aiguo to take down all the New Year's goods that filled the trunk.

After making sure that nothing was left in the car, Chen Aifang stood in front of the three people, looking majestic and returning home with the air of glory.

"go!"

New year.

It's just a hodgepodge of people.

At the reunion dinner table, you will see many relatives whom you only see once a year, or only see at banquets for weddings and funerals in the village.

Although Xiang Huanian's grandmother did not give birth to many children like her peers, she was not posthumously named Yongxiong's mother... This was probably because her grandfather loved her very much.

But my grandmother's brothers and sisters, and her mother, the old lady Xiang Huanian, had many children, so when they paid New Year's greetings in the first month of the lunar year, they were almost like a big family.

Not counting Xiang Huanian's generation, if we gather all the relatives together, there are probably about sixty or seventy people.

Chen Aifang is the second child in the family, with an older sister and a younger brother.

Yes, it’s the second child who is easily neglected and excluded by his siblings during the process of growing up.

The eldest sister and the youngest brother each have two children.

Adding Xiang Huanian's family, the number of people eating New Year's Eve dinner easily exceeded ten digits.

Grandma lives with Chen Aifang's younger brother in their hometown in the village... Well, to be more precise, it should be the younger brother who lives with grandma. After all, the land and the house originally belonged to grandpa.

As for who the property rights fell into after his grandfather passed away, Xiang Huanian had no way of knowing.

In the hall, there were piles of various New Year goods, and relatives were sitting in front of the TV, eating melon seeds, peanuts and walnuts, and gathering around a warm brazier.

They all developed in rural areas, so they arrived earlier than Chen Aifang.

The emergence of new characters means the beginning of social interaction.

"Hey! Look who's here! Hurry up and call someone..."

"Oh my god, Second Aunt, long time no see. Why are you carrying so many things? I'm sorry for the money you spent. How come you look younger? Wow, that bag in your hand must have cost a lot of money..."
