After saying this, Grandpa Chen's blood pressure was a little high, so he went back to his room to rest.
Grandma Chen felt wronged, but under Grandpa Chen's rage, she didn't dare to make trouble. She could only send her eldest son's family out to rest in the side room.
Grandpa Chen knew that his eldest son had left and that Grandma Chen didn't go back to her room.
He knew everything, but he couldn't understand how a good family could become like this.
He knew that his wife had to take most of the responsibility for the family's collapse.
But he also knew that if he hadn't indulged her, his wife wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant and things wouldn't have become so unmanageable.
In short, it was too late for regrets.
Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Father and Mother Chen were relieved.
They were not afraid that Grandma Chen would use force. They were afraid that Grandma Chen would use soft tactics to cut their flesh with a soft knife so that they couldn't resist.
Now that they had completely fallen out, they had a reason to never go back to that home.
Father and Mother Chen couldn't help curling their lips, and Jiujiu smiled as well.
The only person who didn't know anything was probably Chen Chen, who didn't know anything.
Because of the collapse, Father and Mother Chen didn't need to stay in that home anymore. They had to swallow their anger until the eighth day of the New Year.
Now that they were in their own home, they could do whatever they wanted and say whatever they wanted. They were very free.
On the first day of the New Year, Han He's family didn't have any relatives. He took a bunch of fireworks and firecrackers his father bought for him to play with with Jiujiu and Chen Chen.
Jiujiu wasn't interested in fireworks and firecrackers, so she directly refused.
However, Chen Chen was very interested in fireworks and firecrackers. Han He, who had been rejected by Jiujiu, was excited when he saw Chen Chen's interest. The two of them got together and chattered non-stop.
They were three years apart, but they held hands like brothers and went out to play firecrackers intimately.
Jiujiu stayed in the room to prepare lunch with Madam Chen.
Since Madam Chen and Father Chen had moved out, they could be considered separated. This was the first year of separation. To show their respect, all the relatives had to come to their house.
Madam Chen informed all the relatives early in the morning that they would come to their house on the sixth day of the New Year.
Although it was still early until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, there were still some things that needed to be prepared in advance.
For example, pork jelly and fried meatballs that needed to be prepared in advance.
Madam Chen and Jiujiu were busy in the kitchen. Chen Chen and Han He had a lot of fun. When they finished playing, they ran to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. They grabbed a handful and stuffed it into their mouths, wolfed it down and ran out again.
Without Grandma Chen's oppression, Mrs. Chen's temper was much better than before. She didn't get angry when she saw Chen Chen and Han He. She even smiled and asked Han He if the things at home were ready.
Han He's parents recognized Jiujiu as their goddaughter, and Han He took over calling Father and Mother Chen godfather and godmother. At first, Father and Mother Chen tried to stop him, but after they got used to it, they stopped.
She heard Han He say, "My family doesn't have many relatives. My mother plans to talk about it on the day they come. Oh right, Godmother, my mother asked me to pass a message. She wants you to come to my house for dinner tonight."
Madam Chen nodded and gave Han He a fried chicken leg. She patted Han He's head and asked him to go out to play. Then she continued to work with Jiujiu.
Because of Han He's message, Madam Chen didn't cook in the afternoon. She directly took the fried food she made at noon and went to the Han family's house for dinner.
Mother Han had been waiting at home. When she saw Jiujiu's family coming, she immediately started to cook.
The two families got together and had a lively meal. After dinner, they had nothing to do, so they played mahjong together.
Mother Han was the most enthusiastic about playing mahjong, but in fact, she was the worst at it. She didn't win for several rounds and was a little anxious.
On the contrary, Father Han, who was usually quiet, was the best at playing mahjong. After the game, when the money was counted, Father Han won alone.
Father Han directly gave all the money he won to the three children, which made Chen Chen and Han He scream.
After eating and playing, Father and Mother Chen took Jiujiu and Chen Chen home.
The second day of the Spring Festival was the day to go to grandma's house.
Early in the morning, Jiujiu and Chen Chen changed into new clothes. After breakfast, they took the tricycle to grandma's house.
Grandma had six children in total. Usually, it was either you or he who was busy, so they couldn't get together at all.
The Spring Festival was the only time when everyone could get together. Grandma and grandpa were happier than ever.
Hearing the noise, grandma went out to see. When she saw Father and Mother Chen, she greeted them, "Chen Yan, Xiao Juan, you're here. Come in. It's warm inside."
Father and Mother Chen were carrying things in their hands. Jiujiu pulled Chen Chen into the house and called the people inside one by one, "First Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, First Aunt, Second Aunt …"
Jiujiu's cheeks hurt when people called her.
Among the three daughters, grandma liked Jiujiu the most. When she saw Jiujiu coming over, she immediately grabbed a handful of candies and stuffed them into Jiujiu's hands. She asked with a smile, "I heard from your mother that you won the first place this time?"
Being asked about the result, Jiujiu immediately straightened her chest and said proudly, "Grandma, I didn't win the first place in our school, but in the county. My teacher said that she would recommend me to take part in the competition in the city next year. "
"Wow …"
In grandma's mind, it was already very good to win the first place in the school. Unexpectedly, Jiujiu won the first place in the county and was even recommended by her teacher to take part in the competition in the city. She was very promising.
She was surprised.
Grandma directly raised the 10 yuan lucky money to 50 yuan.
After stuffing the money into Jiujiu's hands, grandma stroked Jiujiu's head kindly and said with a smile, "Our Jiujiu is really promising. You'll definitely get into a good university in the future."
Jiujiu was only in primary school and was still far from taking the college entrance exam. Thus, she chuckled and turned to ask her grandpa, "Grandpa, my mother said that you caught a cold a few days ago. Have you recovered?"
"I'm fine now," Grandpa replied with a smile, then asked about the other children's exam results.
The other children's grades were alright, but none of them did better than Jiujiu's. Thus, everyone stopped talking after a while and tacitly changed the subject to talk about this year's harvest.
Father and Mother Chen moved out and directly gave the land to Grandpa and Grandma Chen. When everyone talked about the harvest, they simply went straight to the kitchen to prepare lunch with their sister-in-law.
Grandpa and Grandma had six children, and each child would take care of two children. There were nearly thirty people, and they sat around three tables in a lively atmosphere. The men sat at one table, the women sat at one table, and the children sat at another table. There was no need to mention how lively it was.
The men drank wine, the women drank soft drinks, and the children prepared something called "thick wine." It tasted sweet and had a faint alcoholic aroma, but the alcohol content wasn't very high. Jiujiu drank three or four glasses in one go.
After the meal, they tidied up the courtyard and it was time to leave.
The annual gathering lasted only seven or eight hours, and Grandpa and Grandma clearly didn't want to leave.
