Chapter 562 Reunion Night
"Is the news accurate?"
"Of course, I thought it was a bit exaggerated when I heard it, so I went to Guihua Lane to check it out. Now the people in your room have long gone, and those who came out are all unfamiliar faces, probably new households."
When Ling's father said this, his expression was also serious. They knew Shang Qinniang's background very well, so they would pay special attention to her on weekdays.
But during the New Year holidays, there were many things to do, so when they found out, the fifth room had already left, and their whereabouts were even more unknown, so Ling's father hurried back to tell her the news.
For some reason, Shang Qinniang felt a little scared.
One was that she was afraid that her identity would be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble, and the other was that she was afraid that someone was behind the disappearance of the fifth room. If that person wanted to wipe out the roots, wouldn't she be in danger?
So, he hugged his daughter in his arms and said a little uneasily.
"Father, go find a few capable people to guard the house, just in case something happens."
After hearing her words, the father of the Ling family also felt that it made sense, so he hurried out.
It is not easy to find people in the new year, so the price is naturally higher, but it is not a big deal. As long as they can protect Qi Niang and Bao Er, their Ling family will have a steady stream of money. He will still calculate this little deal.
It is New Year's Eve again.
This year's general's mansion is a little deserted, but the Du family is lively.
Gu Shaoyu is naturally not back in Wangzhou, so Du Jingyi took the children back to the Du family for the New Year, and the two elders of the He family in Pingzhou also arrived. Because the new house still needs to be repaired, they are still staying at the Du family temporarily.
The current He Shilin is different from when Du Jingyi saw him two or three months ago. The whole person seems to have been reborn, revealing a sense of prosperity.
He returned from Xuanzhou in the snow and wind. This time he had a half-month vacation, and he would go back to take up his post after that. He originally thought that Du Jingxiang would go with him, but his wife was pregnant, so he had to go back alone.
But even so, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
When people reach middle age, continuous happy events come, which can refresh anyone, so Du Jingyi said jokingly.
"Brother-in-law is now like a few years younger, and his complexion looks much better. It seems that the job in Xuanzhou is really good."
"I have to thank my sister and brother Xing Zhao for their help. My colleagues in Xuanzhou are very kind and polite, and they are all people who get things done, so I have learned a lot from them. Naturally, people should be more humble."
After hearing this, the two elders of the He family also wanted to thank Du Jingyi sincerely.
After all, they had been active in Pingzhou for so many years and had given a lot of money, but the future of their son was still foreseeable, especially the master of the He family, who sighed and said.
"It's all our fault that we were short-sighted. We always wanted Shilin to go back to Pingzhou so that everyone could take care of him. We didn't expect that we would delay the child's future. If it weren't for the couple bringing the child back this time, I'm afraid there would be no such good opportunity."
After saying that, he raised the wine glass in front of him and toasted the Du couple and Du Jingyi.
"It is a blessing in the previous life that our He family can marry you. If Shilin dares to be unfilial to you in the future, I will beat him with a big stick!"
"Oh, what are you saying on a big festival, and what's more, how can Shilin be unfilial? He is very good to us. It's only right for a family to live together and help each other."
Both parents are open-minded people, so after a few cups of warm wine, the taste of the New Year's Eve dinner becomes more fragrant.
There were six children in total, so they had a separate table next to them.
They were all half-grown children, eating in a well-behaved manner without making any noise. Their meals were specially prepared according to the children's tastes, and they had all the food they liked on weekdays.
Brother Tai would occasionally think about serving food to everyone, and he was considered a careful person. Brother Wen ate more roughly, but he was the tallest of the three brothers, so it was normal for him to eat more.
After dinner, the year was half over, and the children were waiting to kowtow to the elders to get lucky money.
According to their age, they stood in a row, with the two elders of the Du family and the two elders of the He family sitting at the top, and Du Jingxiang and his wife and Du Jingyi sitting on both sides. The children kowtowed in turn and soon got full red envelopes.
Wen Ge'er looks festive and is similar to Master Du. Now that he has received the New Year's money, he smiles as much as Master Du. Naturally, Mrs. Du couldn't help but pinch his chubby face and then said.
"Sometimes I wonder what the master looked like when he was a child. Now I know what Wen Ge'er looked like when he was a child, but he must not have been as fat as Wen Ge'er when he was a child!"
Master Du looked him up and down and nodded lovingly.
But Wen Ge'er was a little unhappy when he heard this, and he came to Mrs. Du and said.
"Grandma, what you said is wrong. Wen Ge'er is not fat, but strong, thick, and healthy!"
His childish talk made everyone present laugh, so Mrs. Du took him in her arms and said.
"Okay, okay, you are right!"
The family had a comfortable New Year.
Thousands of miles away, Wangzhou.
In the camp of the Tiger Guards, the cooks arranged a dumpling feast for everyone today. More than a dozen large pots were set up in the army. The dumplings slurped down and soon floated up.
They were all strong men, so they naturally had good appetites.
So while the gang members were making dumplings, they were still making a steady stream of dumplings, and the whole military camp was very lively.
After an absence of many years, Xing Zhao once again celebrated the Chinese New Year in the military camp. He felt indescribably excited, so he looked around like a monkey in the sky, but there was no trace that he had passed his thirties. The men are just like those new recruits who just entered the military camp.
Ni Yang saw it and said to Gu Shaoyu.
"General, you should take care of this kid Xing Zhao. I originally asked Lao Xue to practice for him, but he cried. Who knows what kind of steel and iron bones he has become? The more he practices, the more energetic he becomes, and he is even faster than when he first came here." , and even the new recruits practiced like crazy with him, and they turned out to be scarier than Xiao Mu and the others before."
Gu Shaoyu picked up the wine bowl and drank a bowl. His whole body became warm. No matter how heavy the wind and snow in Wangzhou seemed to be, it didn't matter at this moment.
"He is much smarter than you. Look how much these recruits admire him now. Just watch, he will definitely get the most heads when the army is divided next March."
Ni Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and when he looked at Xing Zhao, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth!
