The rural daughter-in-law of the bank president

Chapter 363: Kowtow and Get a Red Envelope

Grandma has been staying in the retirement home these days.

Lin Xianglan accompanied him.

Grandma was a little tired and slept all day.

My grandmother, who is ten years younger than my grandfather, is also over eighty years old.

I have lived with my grandfather all my life and have experienced both hardships and happiness.

The two people have a good relationship and have walked hand in hand for almost seventy years.

Nowadays, many middle-aged couples sleep in separate beds, but my grandparents never slept in separate beds.

Go out for a walk, support each other and hold hands.

After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother often shed tears silently.

Lin Xianglan said that her grandmother often said, "Wait for me!"

As soon as my grandfather passed away, my faith collapsed.

These days, I slept for half a day and suddenly sat up.

Said to Lin Xianglan: "If I die, it should be like this, simple, not too grand, and not too troublesome for too many people."

Sleep for half a day, suddenly sit up, and repeat.

Lin Xianglan was very worried and asked her to go to Dijingyuan, but she refused to go.

Early in the morning on the sixth day of the New Year, I called Lele and Lele drove over.

The house in the retirement home is a staircase house with three bedrooms and a living room.

The second floor.

Cleaned thoroughly.

Grandma said she had a headache and was depressed. She lay in bed and fell asleep, sighing.

Lele went to his grandmother's bedside and did not disturb her rest.

He took a small stool, sat down, and held the old man's hand.

After a long time, grandma moved her dry hands and pinched Lele's hand.

Opened his eyes.

The eye sockets are deep and the pupils are a little cloudy.

The years have carved countless ravines in the corners of my eyes, like mountains and hills.

There were sparkles of tears in the sad eyes.

Lele was also moved, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth down, with tears in her eyes.

He forced a smile and said, "Grandma, let's go to Dijingyuan to see Mo Yuan, okay? He said he missed you very much."

Grandma held Lele's hand tightly again, sighed deeply, and hesitated.

Lele's voice is so soft and gentle that anyone who hears it would want to obey her.

"Go out for a walk, the kids are here!"

Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and grandma let go and wiped them away.

Lin Xianglan, who was standing by, quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it.

Grandma got up, put on her cotton jacket and hat.

The house in the retirement home is too old and cold.

Lin Xianglan supported the old man and slowly went downstairs.

Lele drove to Dijingyuan.

Without Spring Festival couplets, there is no New Year atmosphere.

After opening the door, Mo Yuan came forward, walked behind Lele, and leaned over to look at the old man.

The old man took his time, took out a thick red envelope from his pocket, and then took out a small box and handed it to Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan ran to the coffee table in the living room with a red envelope in one hand and a small box in the other.

I put the things on the coffee table, stood on the floor and took them apart myself.

Lin Xianglan and Lele helped the old man sit on the sofa.

My aunt and Xiao Min came over.

Let’s watch Mo Yuan together.

Mo Yuan opened the red envelope, which contained a stack of 100-yuan cash with consecutive numbers. Mo Yuan put it aside.

I opened the small box again and found a little golden rabbit.

Mo Yuan threw the things on the coffee table and ran to Lele's room.

After a while, he came out with a book.

It is a pop-up book, "Happy New Year!"

I snuggled into the old man's arms and turned the pages of the book one by one, until I came to the page about giving red envelopes on New Year's Day.

Holding up the book, "You tell me!"

The moment the old man saw Mo Yuan, the gloom on his face disappeared.

At this moment, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes curved into a smile.

The old man read in a trembling voice: Chenchen knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his grandfather, grandmother, father and mother. Then his grandfather, grandmother, father and mother each gave Chenchen a big red envelope.

Mo Yuan closed the book, ran over and stuffed the cash on the table back into the red envelope.

He took it and put it in the old man's arms.

With a thud, he knelt down and kowtowed to the old man.

Everyone was stunned.

The old man was stunned, not knowing what to say. He looked a little panicked and a little excited.

Mo Yuan stood up, took the red envelope from the old man, and returned to the coffee table.

Wei Wuya couldn't help laughing first, "What should I do? I want to kowtow too."

Wei Qifeng, who was sitting at the coffee table making tea, also stood up.

Lin Xianglan laughed until tears came out, and she wiped them away as she said, "The last person to kowtow and wish a happy new year was Lele."

"Ah?" Lele looked at Lin Xianglan in surprise.

"You've forgotten, right? When you were six years old, you came to my house. I kowtowed and offered you tea. It was considered a New Year's greeting and also considered you becoming my godmother!"

Lin Xianglan looked at Lele with a smile.

Lele nodded. "I still remember it. My grandma told me again and again when we left."

She only remembered that she was kowtowing. She was so small, had a narrow perspective, and was very short.

Lin Xianglan and Wei Qifeng sat on chairs, tall like two Buddhas.

"I am surprised. I think I was in junior high school. I had to kowtow to my grandparents during the Chinese New Year. Wuya won't even kowtow to you!"

Lele explained.

Wei Wuya opened his mouth, looked at Lin Xianglan, and said, "If I kowtow now, will I still get a red envelope?"

Lin Xianglan spat, "Come on, knock your head against me! I'll give you a blow to the head if you knock your head against me!"

Wei Wuya pouted: "My dear mother!"

As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from the cabinet in the room and put a stack of money in it.

Wei Wuya sat on the sofa and shouted, "Son, come here!"

When Mo Yuan saw his father holding a red envelope, he also walked over, knelt down and kowtowed.

After bowing and standing up, Wei Wuya gave the red envelope to Mo Yuan.

"Hey, Happy New Year! I wish Moyuan good health and happiness!"

Wei Wuya went crazy, with a smile spreading from the corners of his mouth to the corners of his eyes.

"Don't you want it? If you don't want it, you can give me the red envelope. I can let him kowtow for a whole day."

"You're crazy!" Lele punched Wei Wuya on the chest.

Seeing this, grandma became happy and started talking about some things about Lin Xianglan and Lin Xiangyu's childhood.

It was almost noon, and Lele and Lin Xianglan started to prepare dinner.

There are also many cooked foods at home.

Lin Xianglan cooks rice.

Lele took vegetables from the refrigerator and prepared to stir-fry some dishes.

Xiao Min stood at the kitchen door and watched, "Tsk tsk tsk, sister-in-law, you are so virtuous."

"Hehe, you and your brother will wash the pot later!"

"Haha, I don't want to!"

Hearing the word "brother", Wei Wuya came over, looked at Xiao Min, and said, "Get out of the way if you don't want to help!"

Xiao Min glared at Wei Wuya, but Wei Wuya ignored her and went into the kitchen.

"Whatever you need to do, I'll help!"

Lele pursed her lips and smiled, "Then you peel the garlic and make some sauce."

Wei Wuya peeled the garlic, Lele made the sauce, cut some side dishes, and mixed the braised meat.

Lin Xianglan rolled her eyes at Wei Wuya and said, "Get out now, you're in the way!"

Wei Wuya muttered, "Get out!"

Lele chuckled, "Mom, go out, I can handle it myself."

"What do you mean by you can do it yourself? I can also help you." Wei Wuya was dissatisfied.

Lin Xianglan washed her hands and wiped them with a tissue. "Okay, you two can do it."

Lele stopped and separated the dishes.
