A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

It's Lunar New Year's Eve, and more people will be coming later.

Su Niannian can't just stay on the kang forever.

Gu Nan smiled, kissed Su Niannian on the forehead, and got up to fetch hot water for her.

After the hot water was brought in, Su Niannian was already sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

Gu Nan bent down to put on Su Niannian's shoes.

The movements were very gentle, as if they were handling a precious treasure.

Su Niannian looked at Gu Nan, her smile never fading.

For Su Niannian, these days were simply too blissful.

She wanted it to stay like this forever.

After putting on Su Niannian's shoes, they brought her a towel.

Su Niannian began to wash up.

Because her belly is already very big and she is about to give birth, Su Niannian can hardly bend over now.

Gu Nan saw that the towel was still wet and used it to wipe Su Niannian's face.

"Dinner is ready. Do you want to eat in the room, or go out and eat together?" Gu Nan asked Su Niannian.

Su Niannian likes being around a lot of people, so she went out to eat with everyone.

Breakfast was simple: millet porridge, pickled vegetables, and boiled eggs.

There are also steaming hot egg pancakes.

The family ate breakfast in Gu's mother's room.

Grandpa Bai, Jiang Fangyuan, and their driver Xiao Yang arrived.

When the group arrived, they helped with the kitchen chores.

Gu Zhendong and his father were also sent to the kitchen to help with the work.

A short while later, Zhou Qishan also arrived.

Everyone was busy working together, and time seemed to fly by.

As noon approached and lunch was about to be served, Gu Nan and Gu Zhendong went to put up Spring Festival couplets.

After putting up the Spring Festival couplets, a string of firecrackers was also set off.

Su Niannian's ears were covered by Gu Nan's hands.

As the firecrackers exploded in front of me, the New Year's atmosphere instantly began.

After putting up the Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers, the cold dishes were served.

Immediately afterwards, the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas as hot dishes were brought out one by one.

Today, there's another pot where I stewed a very large silver carp.

It weighs at least ten kilograms.

If this iron pot weren't so big, it really wouldn't be able to hold all the stew.

I also fried meatballs and spring rolls today.

One delicious dish after another was served, and Gu Ningning was the happiest of all.

She has never had such a wonderful New Year in her life.

Gu Ningning and Yangyang were like they were on steroids, appearing here one minute and running off there the next.

Yangyang also went to the place where firecrackers were set off to look for any unlit ones that were left over.

Then take an incense stick, light the firecrackers you picked up, and throw them out.

Gu Zhendong felt it was a bit dangerous, so he simply took a small section from the good firecrackers and gave it to Yangyang.

Disconnect the fuse from the firecracker; this will give you more time to throw it.

Yangyang didn't cause trouble for the adults.

I just squatted down by the wall where it wouldn't get in the way and played with it.

Gu Ningning acted like a little adult, keeping an eye on Yangyang.

"Mom, Yangyang is so sensible!" Su Niannian had a lot of peanuts in her pocket. She sat outside the kitchen, peeling peanuts while talking to Gu's mother.

“Yangyang is sensible, but you are so insensible. How can you sit here? It’s so cold!” Gu’s mother said to Su Niannian with a frown.

“It’s warm at the kitchen doorway. It’s hot inside the kitchen!” Su Niannian replied.

Gu's mother couldn't do anything about Su Niannian, but she also believed that Su Niannian was a reliable person and would go inside by herself if she got cold.

Su Niannian felt that Yangyang was sometimes very sensible.

They acted so maturely, as if they weren't children of that age.

Of course, Gu Ningning was the same.

It might be due to my childhood experiences.

Therefore, Su Niannian felt that sometimes what she saw as bad could actually be a good thing from another perspective.

Everything has two sides.

If Yangyang hadn't experienced those things with Zhao Fengxia when he was little, he might not be as sensible as he is now.

Su Niannian was beaming with joy.

Back in Kaoshan Village, Su Niannian's friends were also celebrating the New Year.

Song Zhaodi and Li Ergou got married. In the first year of their marriage, Song Zhaodi showed off her cooking skills in the kitchen.

Having seen Su Niannian cook, and given that Song Zhaodi's culinary skills were already quite good, Song Zhaodi's cooking received high praise from the Li family.

Lu Xingguang was hiding alone in the cowshed, trembling with fear.

He probably never imagined that he would have such a tragic day.

He was once the son of the director of a major factory in Shanghai. He wore a watch worth over a hundred yuan and didn't feel bad about spending a few yuan on a meal.

When I was having dinner and drinks with friends, I was such a dazzling person.

But because of a trip to the countryside, he has become this pitiful state.

His parents abandoned him, and he was no longer a man.

On such a joyous and harmonious day, Lu Xingguang was alone, huddled in the cowshed.

Suddenly, Lu Xingguang smelled a delicious aroma of meat.

I slowly walked over, following the scent.

Lu Xingguang's shoes were still the thin, spring-and-autumn-style sneakers.

It was already so tattered that it offered absolutely no warmth.

Wearing these shoes, walking in the snow, my feet were already numb from the cold.

But Lu Xingguang was dumbfounded. Although he was freezing and itchy, he didn't know what to do.

Although he was wearing many clothes, they were all single layers, worn in tattered and worn-out.

It doesn't provide any warmth either.

Ten layers of single-layer cotton are not as good as one layer of cotton.

At noon on New Year's Eve, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, not very heavy.

As Lu Xingguang walked, she opened her mouth and used it to catch the snow.

When Lu Xingguang walked to the place where the aroma of meat was coming from, she saw a steaming kitchen and a warm house.

Lu Xingguang walked into the courtyard, but the family saw that it was Lu Xingguang.

The male homeowner grabbed a broom and hurried outside.

It was so cold that Lu Xingguang's whole body was numb from the cold.

There was absolutely no way to resist.

They were kicked out by the male head of the household.

Lu Xingguang huddled not far away, smelling the aroma of meat.

He sat down on the ground.

Lu Xingguang didn't know how long she had been sitting there. When she came to her senses again, she saw her father, the factory manager of a big company, her gentle mother, and her unreliable brother.

"Starlight? What are you thinking about? Come on! Let's drink!" Lu Xingguang heard Qian Jun's voice.

I saw a table full of food.

I saw myself dressed in a glamorous and stylish way.

A happy and confident smile appeared on Lu Xingguang's face.

It felt like going back to a year ago, during the Chinese New Year.

The next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Xingguang was discovered by the villagers.

They had already frozen to death in the snow in the countryside.

His whole body was frozen stiff, red and purple, but a smile still lingered on his lips.

Lu Xingguang died on Lunar New Year's Eve.

This brought his life to a complete close.

Of course, Su Niannian, who was far away in Beijing, did not know that Lu Xingguang had died on this day of family reunion.
