Mother Zhou saw the admiration for Xu Qingluo in Aunt Zhou's eyes, and she felt extremely proud.

Xu Qingluo smiled and chatted with Aunt Zhou for a few words, then Mother Zhou came forward and took Xu Qingluo's arm, teasing Aunt Zhou non-stop.

"Why, you don't have a daughter-in-law?"

"Go and chat with your daughter-in-law."

Mother Zhou pulled Xu Qingluo to her side without saying a word.

This is her daughter-in-law. If her sister-in-law wants to be intimate with her daughter-in-law, she can go to her house.

"Sister-in-law is so stingy."

Aunt Zhou whispered a few words, but Mother Zhou stood up straight.

He was not unhappy at all, but instead accepted the label of being stingy.

"Yeah, I'm stingy."

"I only have this one daughter-in-law. Will you compensate me if I lose her?"

Aunt Zhou Er: “….”

Mother Zhou and Aunt Zhou have been bickering for decades, and the family has gotten used to it.

After all, the two of them often bicker and quarrel, but they both do things in a measured way.

People may have disliked each other for so many years, but after all, they have been together for half their lives and there must be some feelings between them.

Even the relationship between Zhou's father and his second uncle's brothers has been very good for many years.

Zhou Yuheng's infertility is the most beneficial to the second wife.

But in all these years, he has never disrespected his elder brother and his wife's family because of this incident.

Uncle Zhou Er is not only a younger brother, he is also a father and grandfather. In fact, he is the most helpless in many things.

Because no matter which side he supports, he will end up being a nobody.

Zhou's father naturally understood the helplessness in Uncle Zhou's heart. He only had this one younger brother, and it would be a lie for him to say that he didn't feel sorry for him or care about him.

But things have come to this point, and they can only try their best to maintain harmonious relationships at home.

As long as they are alive, they will never let these children in the family go to the point of fighting cruelly with each other.

.......

.......

After the reunion dinner, the children received red envelopes and were taken home by their mothers to rest.

Someone is needed to keep watch tonight, as none of the other men in the family are back from vacation.

Zhou Yuheng was the only one who could do the night watch.

But Zhou's father and Zhou Ershu really couldn't keep watch all night, as Kyoto was crowded everywhere during the New Year.

On this important day, Kyoto's public security must not be compromised.

After the reunion dinner, Zhou's father and Zhou's uncle hurried back to the military region.

They will go back to take charge of the overall situation and work with the public security to maintain public security in Kyoto.

Zhou Yuheng was not tired at all. He just sat in the living room to keep watch, which was much more comfortable and relaxed than going out on a mission.

Xu Qingluo and Zhou's mother took a shower and went back to their room to rest.

Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they have to get up early to prepare the dumplings.

---

As New Year’s Eve passed, time officially entered 1974.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets and alleys are bustling with activity.

Although you can't post couplets or set off firecrackers, there are performances to watch at the Kyoto temple fair.

There was also an art troupe in the compound that came to perform and express condolences.

Today, the streets and alleys of Kyoto are full of people, and children are wearing new clothes.

They ran around with a string of candied haws in their hands.

Although there are not many programs in this era, they are full of the strong flavor of the New Year and the atmosphere of fireworks.

Xu Qingluo and Zhou's mother got up early in the morning to prepare dumplings. After Zhou Yuheng finished eating the dumplings, he went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.

Zhou's father did not come home last night and was working overtime in the military area.

Zhou's mother packed the dumplings in a lunch box and went out to the military area to find Zhou's father.

Mr. Zhou is actually the busiest during holidays and the Chinese New Year.

He doesn't have time to go home for dinner.

But for so many years, Zhou's mother would personally deliver dumplings to Zhou's father who was busy in the military district every year.

Although Zhou's father cannot go home, Zhou's mother will still let him feel the warmth of family.

When Zhou's mother went out, Xu Qingluo went back to her room to get a book and went downstairs to read on the sofa.

She didn't want to go out and watch the fun today.

There are far more people outside today than on New Year's Day, and she is afraid that she will be squeezed to death if she goes out.

Zhou's mother went out in the morning to deliver dumplings to Zhou's father, but she didn't return home until noon.

The compound is not far from the military area, but there are so many people outside today that Zhou's mother can only take a long detour to come back.

Xu Qingluo had already prepared the dough, and she and Zhou's mother simply made some noodles for lunch.

If you have prepared meat sauce at home, you can take it out and eat it directly.

"Mom, I've already kneaded the dough. I'm going to cook the noodles."

"to make."

Zhou's mother was also tired and hungry, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished their hot noodles and went back to their rooms to rest.

Xu Qingluo returned to the room and walked lightly. Zhou Yuheng was sleeping soundly with even breathing. It seemed that he was tired last night.

Xu Qingluo walked to the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down. As soon as she lay down, Zhou Yuheng subconsciously pulled her into his arms.

Xu Qingluo turned to look at Zhou Yuheng, and felt relieved when she saw that he was not awake.

Then he lay down slowly and carefully.

There is nothing special to do at home on New Year's Day, and we are not allowed to clean the house today.

Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year, the day Xu Qingluo returns to her parents' home.

After Zhou Yuheng woke up and had a full meal in the afternoon, his mother took them to buy things they would need to take back to her parents' home tomorrow.

Zhou's mother bought mostly food, whether it was meat or cakes and candies, she always bought double.

Give one copy to Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng to take to Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu's house tomorrow.

There was also a copy for them to send to Hai City to Xu's father and mother.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu will not be able to take a holiday for the Chinese New Year this year.

Zhou Yuheng only had half a month left of vacation, so the two of them had no way to go to Hai City to visit.

So this gift must be delivered.

In this way, the parents-in-law can rest assured to hand their daughter over to their son.

The Kyoto temple fair performance ended in the afternoon, and Zhou's father could go home for dinner tonight.

When he came back, Zhou's father brought back a large piece of wild boar meat.

The military district arranged for everyone to have a reunion dinner tonight, so the army arranged for soldiers to go up the mountain to hunt for food in the afternoon.

In just one afternoon, they had killed several wild boars and many pheasants and rabbits.

Thinking that Xu Qingluo would go back to her parents' home tomorrow, Zhou's father bought a large piece of wild boar meat with his own money.

"Wow, such a big piece of wild boar!"

When Zhou's mother saw the wild boar meat that was bigger than her upper body, she was instantly overjoyed.

Although the wild boar meat tastes a bit tough, it is still meat!

These days, no one dislikes meat!

"The troops are having their New Year's Eve dinner tonight, so we won't be going up the mountain to hunt."

When Zhou's mother heard this, she smiled and nodded. Every year, the military region would have a reunion dinner together.

The army will also allow troops to go hunting in the mountains on this day and provide extra meals for the soldiers.

"So you have to go to the military area later?"

"Well, I'll go after dinner."

"to make!"

Mother Zhou smiled and took the wild boar meat into the kitchen and divided it into six portions.

Give one copy to Xu Qingluo to take back to Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu's house tomorrow.

The rest will be sent to Xu's father and mother after she finishes making the bacon.

Xu Qingluo and Zhou's mother prepared dinner.

Zhou's father and Zhou Yuheng went next door to help Zhou's grandfather and grandmother come home for dinner.
