After the divorce, my second-married military officer husband doted on me

Time flies and it’s New Year’s Eve.

It was not yet dawn and most people in Kyoto were still asleep. Only a few wisps of smoke rose up, adding a bit of homely air to this cold winter morning.

Gu Hong couldn't sleep and got up early.

Because it was Chinese New Year today, he gave the nanny a day off so that she could reunite with her family.

After losing two loved ones at once, he has become a little quieter recently.

His figure looked a little thin in the dim light.

Gu Hong wanted to make a bowl of glutinous rice balls for Gu Minglei personally before he got up.

In the kitchen, pots and pans were quietly placed. Gu Hong skillfully lit a fire and prepared to boil some hot water.

His eyes fell on the calendar on the wall. The big words "New Year's Eve" were particularly eye-catching, and his thoughts drifted back to the past.

In previous years, no matter how busy Ah Heng was in the army, he would come back to spend the New Year with him.

But this year is different.

He has biological parents, got married, and has his own world of two.

This year, he doesn't know if she will come back to spend the New Year with him?

After adopting Gu Siheng for so many years, he really loves this son.

Although the Gu family strongly opposed it at the beginning, he insisted. After Gu Siheng learned to speak, every time he called "Dad", Gu Hong felt that life was full of happiness.

He originally thought that Ah Heng's identity would not be revealed.

I didn't expect that the truth would eventually come out.

Later, Ah Heng's biological parents came looking for him.

He had always known that Ah Heng's father was not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that his family background was so powerful that he was rich and even had a huge treasure.

At that time, he thought he would lose his son Ah Heng, but Ah Heng said that he would always be his son.

He was very relieved.

Gu Hong was busy for a while, and after he finished kneading the dough, there was suddenly a noise in the yard.

He felt happy.

Could it be that Ah Heng and the others have returned?

Gu Hong hurried out of the kitchen.

……

Almost as soon as he walked out the door, "Dad!"

"We are here to spend the New Year with you!" Two familiar voices came. Gu Hong looked closely and saw Gu Siheng and Jiang Nuan standing in the yard with bags in their hands, looking at him with smiles on their faces.

What surprised him was that Ning Quanzhou, Fu Zhiyu, Ning Cailian and Yun Shu were also with them.

Everyone looked at him with a smile. Ning Quanzhou said with a smile, "Brother Gu, we came uninvited to spend the New Year with you. I hope you don't mind."

"You... why are you all here!" Gu Hong was surprised and happy, and his eyes instantly became moist.

Ah Heng has not said that he will come back to celebrate the New Year today.

He had thought he wouldn't come this year.

Unexpectedly, he not only came, but also brought so many people to spend the New Year with him.

Jiang Nuan and Gu Siheng stepped forward, "Dad, it's New Year's Day, how can we not come back to accompany you!"

Gu Siheng put the things in his hand on the ground and gave Gu Hong a hug, “Dad, I said I will always be your son.

As long as you are alive, I will spend the New Year with you every year.

You raised me, and no one can replace your place in my heart.

I would say this even in front of my biological father.

I didn’t tell you in advance because I wanted to give you a surprise.”

Ning Quanzhou nodded, "That's right."

“The grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child.

Brother Gu, thank you for taking such good care of Ah Heng."

Yun Shu walked forward and tugged at Gu Hong's hand, "Hello, Grandpa Gu, my name is Yun Shu.

I'm here with Uncle Ah Heng, Aunt Nuan, Grandpa Ning, Grandma Fu, and Aunt Cailian to celebrate the New Year with you."

Gu Hong laughed heartily at her soft voice, "Ahahaha..."

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Thank you, Yunshu!"

"Grandpa is very happy today, thank you for coming to spend the New Year with me.

This year is very special for me, it’s a different year.”

Fu Zhiyu stepped forward and said gratefully, "Brother Gu, thank you for taking care of Ah Heng over the years and allowing him to grow up healthily.

We can never repay you for your kindness in raising Ah Heng.

thank you!

We will remember your great kindness for the rest of our lives.

Today is New Year's Eve, and our family is here to accompany you and celebrate the New Year with you."

Gu Hong was so moved that he wiped away his tears and was so excited that he couldn't speak. He just nodded repeatedly and invited everyone into the house.

……

Inside the room, everyone sat together in a warm atmosphere.

Jiang Nuan took out the new clothes she bought for Gu Hong from her bag and said with a smile, "Dad, I'm sorry for not telling you in advance that we would be here to spend the New Year with you. I'm sorry for making you feel wronged.

You have been in a bad mood these days because of the departure of Second Brother Gu and the others. We just wanted to give you a surprise and hope you won’t be angry.

This is the dress I bought for you. Please try it on later to see if it fits you well."

Gu Hong took the clothes, his hands trembling slightly: "Okay, okay, you are thoughtful."

"I like this dress as soon as I see it, thank you Nuan Nuan.

This is the first time I’ve received clothes from my daughter-in-law, and I’m so happy.”

Although I once had two sons, my two daughters-in-law did nothing but compare with each other all day long.

Apart from trying to make money from him, they never really cared about him.

Not to mention buying him a suit.

Ning Quanzhou took out a big red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Gu Hong: "Brother Gu, Happy New Year! This is a blessing from Zhiyu and me, you must accept it."

Gu Hong quickly declined: "No, no, I'm already very happy that you can come."

Gu Siheng smiled and said, "Dad, please accept it. This is a little gift from my father and mother.

They have always wanted to thank you properly, but you don't care about material things, so they never have the chance.

Today is Chinese New Year, you must accept the New Year's blessings, so that everyone can have a safe and happy reunion in the coming year..."

Ning Cailian's face had completely healed. She was wearing a bright red coat, her face glowing with radiance, and she said with a smile, "Yes, Uncle Gu, you must accept it.

We are a family, please don’t be polite.”

After being persuaded by everyone, Gu Hong finally accepted the red envelope.

He said with emotion, "This is the first time I have received a Chinese New Year red envelope since I grew up.

I never thought that even though I was half buried in the ground, someone would still give me a red envelope! "

Fu Zhiyu smiled and said, "As long as you take good care of your body and live a few more years, we will give you red envelopes every year from now on, so that you can live younger and younger."

Gu Hong could feel that they really cared about him. Looking at the Ning family in front of him, his heart was filled with warmth.

"thank you all!"

“Thank you for coming!”

At this time, Gu Minglei came down from upstairs.

He politely greeted everyone one by one.

Finally he said, "Uncle, you guys came really early.

You guys came so early, you probably haven’t had glutinous rice balls yet, right? I’ll cook this morning and make you the glutinous rice balls I just learned how to make…”

Gu Minglei knew that Gu Siheng and the others would come back to celebrate the New Year.

The reason I didn’t tell grandpa was that I wanted to give him a surprise.

He has been in a bad mood these days. He is afraid that if this continues, his grandfather will get sick.

Jiang Nuan shook her head and said, "No, today is the first anniversary of my marriage to your uncle, and your uncle and I will personally make the glutinous rice balls and New Year's Eve dinner this year.

You, just chat with your grandfather and the others and wait for the food."
