He Zhi's illness was procrastinated for more than ten days before it was considered good. When she was confirmed by Wei Lai to be cured and allowed to go out, she found that the whole town had swept away the previous winter depression and became lively again.

I lowered my head and counted the days, and it was already the end of the year, and it would be the New Year in a few days.

He Zhi and the others came back in a hurry, Wei Lai calculated that the time would be just in time to reunite with his mother before the year, but for He Zhi, this trip could not be in time to go home for the New Year anyway.

The experience of celebrating the new year abroad is naturally the first time for He Zhi. Madam He did not want He Zhi to follow Wei Lai on this trip at the beginning, because of this consideration.However, He Zhi had considered all these things before coming here, but in the end she was still unwilling to give up this opportunity, so she followed Wei Lai for this trip.

Looking at it now, even Ms. He herself can't tell whether this trip was worth it or not.The only thing is, as proud as she is, she will never regret the decision she made.Just like when Wei Lai just confessed his identity, she was most at a loss and at a loss, but she never thought about the word regret.

Since the New Year's Eve is approaching, He Zhi also settled down and prepared to spend a good New Year in Wei's house.

The days before and after the New Year's Eve are always busy. Unlike the He family in the capital, General Xiao Wei's family doesn't have so many servants to instigate them, and they have to do almost everything by themselves.Fortunately, Aunt Wei's tofu stall closed early this year, so she started preparing early. Although the whole family is busy at this time, they are not in a hurry.

He Zhi is a big lady who doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers. Of course, she can't get involved in rough work such as cleaning the house and preparing ingredients, and even if Aunt Wei already knew about her and Wei Lai, she never thought of doing this. What does the young lady do.As a matter of course, He Zhi became the only idler in the Wei family who had nothing to do.

The Wei family has been silent for many years, and Aunt Wei finally brought Wei Lai back, so her enthusiasm for this New Year's Eve is naturally extremely high.A few days ago, He Zhi stayed in the house to recuperate and didn't notice it. This time, when he got better, he came out and found that the little general Wei who had been running around in his house all day had actually been sent around by Aunt Wei.

"Jin Rui, I'm going out later, do you want to go out with me?" Seeing that He Zhi was bored by herself, and didn't want her to stay in the room and read, Wei Lai thought about today's arrangement, Then he asked.

Lie on the hospital bed for several days, and then was restrained by Wei Lai Xiqiu from going out to have a breeze, He Zhi was really bored.It's just that the whole family is still busy with the New Year's affairs, so it's not easy for her to find trouble for others. Hearing this, she hesitated: "Since I can't help, let's forget it."

Wei Lai also knew her concerns, and quickly explained a few words: "I just went out to deliver some things to the neighbors, it's not a big deal, you've been bored at home for so many days, follow me out for a walk It's good to relax."

He Zhi really didn't want to stay at home, and it didn't feel good to see everyone busy while she couldn't get a hand in it.She is not a hypocritical person, since Wei Lai said so, she nodded her head obediently.

To Wei Lai, it doesn't matter whether he goes out or not, but it's good to be alone with Ms. He.Although Marshal Wei generously gave her three months of vacation at the beginning, it took nearly a month on the road, and now the vacation is over half, and they will leave for Beijing soon, after all, they want to catch up with their daughter-in-law before then Otherwise, what if Ms. He really wants to break off the engagement when she returns to the capital?

Of course, this is not just mediocrity, but Wei Lai is used to thinking about the worst situation.

After saying hello to Aunt Wei, Wei Lai went to the kitchen and came out with a pannier on his back: "Okay, let's go."

He Zhi took a look into the basket behind Wei Lai, and General Wei tilted his body to show her in a kind manner, but it turned out to be a basket of bacon and bacon.

"You want to take this and give it to someone?" He Zhi had never left the capital before, let alone the customs of this small place during Chinese New Year.

Wei Lai stood up straight, thought about it before taking a step, and reached out to hold Miss He's hand pretending to be natural.She was not rejected, so she explained in a good mood: "Yeah, it will be New Year's Eve in two days. It is a custom here that neighbors or close friends give each other things. You also take good care of my mother, so you should give me some things."

He Zhi nodded, and understood that the exchanges between neighbors and the exchanges between families in the central capital are actually the same, but the gifts from the countryside are far less exquisite and precious than those from the rich and powerful families in the central capital.

Years ago Wei Lai came back from hunting wild boars in the mountains, and the pork was so much that it could be made into bacon and bacon, enough for her mother to eat for a year.However, Wei Lai had already planned in his heart to pick up his old lady when he returned to Beijing. Of course, it is meaningless to keep the meat. At this time, it is given as a New Year's gift. Not only does it express gratitude, but the things are still "precious" .

He Zhi obviously didn't expect that the New Year's gift in this town, meat is very expensive.She followed Wei Lai and began to give gifts from the nearest family. Each family gave a piece of bacon and a piece of bacon. The two pieces of meat together weighed about ten catties. General Xiao Wei carried a basket full of meat. Don't let her interfere.

When knocking on the door of the first family, it was a middle-aged woman who opened the door.Although He Zhi lived in Wei Lai's house for more than half a month, he didn't know the neighbors, but Wei Lai greeted him very warmly, and then gave him two big pieces of meat.

The woman thanked her repeatedly, and the surprise in her eyes made it impossible to ignore.Afterwards, the two exchanged some pleasantries, and the woman returned the gift, but it was only a small jar of homemade rice wine.

Reciprocity, there was nothing to say, Wei Lai accepted it without refusing, and went to the next one after thanking the same.

After sending two or three families like this, He Zhi knew that the bacon sent by Wei Lai was considered a precious gift in this small town.She glanced at the gift Wei Lai received in return: a small jar of self-brewed rice wine, a jar of homemade kimchi, and a basket of oranges picked from the orange tree in her yard...

Wei Lai didn't care about these things. After sending them to the three families, the basket on his back suddenly became much lighter.She casually picked an orange from the basket, peeled it, and handed it to He Zhi: "Jinrui, try it, the oranges from Aunt Wang's house are the sweetest and most delicious in this town. She's staring longingly at her orange tree over the fence."

He Zhi took a piece and tasted it, it was indeed sweet and delicious, no worse than the carefully selected oranges she ate in Beijing.After hearing Wei Lai's words, he smiled: "Did A Lai ever guard that fence when he was young?"

Wei Lai blinked his eyes when he heard the words, but he did not shy away from revealing the dark history: "Not only did I keep it, but I also went in and stole it with others. But I was not very lucky, not to mention that I didn't steal the oranges. The dog chased him half the street."

When He Zhi heard this, she burst out laughing with a "puchi".Smiling, he looked Wei Lai up and down. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like for this young general, who had won the favor of Marshal Wei with great military exploits, to be chased by dogs all over the street.

The Nengbo beauty smiled, and General Wei didn't care if it was embarrassing to shake the black history, and his face was also full of smiles.I peeled another orange casually and ate it by myself. Not to mention, it was as delicious as the one I missed all day when I was a child.

The two talked and laughed and walked to the next house to give gifts. After knocking on the courtyard door, the person who opened the door was not an adult of the family, but a little girl of seven or eight years old.

Wei Lai has been away from home for seven years. She was not born when she joined the army, so naturally she didn't know her very well.She glanced into the yard, but she didn't see the adults, so she asked the little girl, "Girl, where are your parents?"

Changning Town is a remote town, and the folk customs are still simple and simple. Although they don't close their doors at night, people are not too defensive.What's more, Wei Lai didn't know the little girl, but the little girl had seen Wei Lai before, so she opened her mouth and replied, "My parents are out shopping, and there is no one at home. Uncle Wei, Aunt Wei, what do you do?"

"..." Wei Lai and He Zhi were stunned.

Although she spoke childishly, Ms. He, who was called "Aunt Wei" for the first time, said that she was not well.Not to mention that the relationship between her and Wei Lai is still unclear, even if it is in the name of a fiancé couple, it is still "unmarried"!How could she be considered Wei Lai's daughter-in-law by default? !

On the other side, although Wei Lai was also stunned, but after he realized it, he couldn't help feeling a little joy in his heart.She secretly raised her eyes and glanced at He Zhi, coughed twice, and never mentioned the wrong address: "Oh, it's nothing, just send two pieces of meat to your family. Girl, since your parents are not here, wait When they come back, you just have to talk to them.”

Wei Lai didn't bother to make another trip, so he simply took two pieces of meat from the basket and handed them to the little girl.

It is impossible to refuse gifts from neighbors during the New Year's Day, otherwise it is easy to offend people.The little girl didn't refuse, she happily accepted the meat, and then said sweetly: "Thank you Uncle Wei, thank you Aunt Wei!"

"Hey, I'm not..." Miss He frowned in confusion, trying to explain something.

However, perhaps the adults had explained before leaving that the little girl knew very well the principle of reciprocity, so she turned her head and ran away after thanking her, and came back with a small basket of salted duck eggs in a short time to return the gift.

In many cases, the atmosphere changes after the reaction time has passed, and it seems a bit hypocritical to drag others to explain what to emphasize.Although this is not a trivial matter, it feels a little strange to emphasize other things besides thanking you at this time.

Forget it, anyway, if I leave this time, I won't come back again in the future, if a child misunderstands, just misunderstand!

Miss He looked at Wei Lai, who thanked the little girl with a smile after receiving the salted duck eggs, and stuffed an orange for the little girl by the way, thinking a little bit of a broken jar.

The author has something to say: General Xiaowei: Come, eat an orange, little girl, remember to tell all the friends in the town to call it this way PS: I heard that someone is going to send me a blade?Think about it or update it...
