“Sister, there’s no need. It’s raining and blowing outside, it’s cold as hell, you don’t have a car and Aunt Liang is away, taking Yang Yang out with you will freeze Yang Yang, if you really want to give it, wait until the first day of the New Year when War Yin and I call you to pay our respects, then you can send us both a red envelope, just to show your appreciation.”
The red envelopes in Guancheng are about good intentions, not caring how much the amount is, generally ten or twenty yuan a red envelope, the closest only a couple of hundred yuan, not only in Guancheng, is the entire province is similar to it, the red envelope amount is the least, in the country that is notorious.
Hai Ling thought about it and said, “That’s fine.”
“Sister, you really don’t want to come with us?”
“No, it’s fine for Sister and Yang Yang to spend time together, now that I don’t have to cook for and serve a whole family of them, and while my breakfast shop is still open, I’ll take Yang Yang to have a good time in Guancheng.”
Since marrying Zhou Honglin, she hadn’t been out and about for a long time.
Every day she is surrounded by her husband and son, following him back to his hometown during the New Year holidays, and serving the three meals of the whole family every day.
In the past years, she was the only one working in the kitchen when relatives and friends came to pay their respects, and sometimes Yang Yang cried and she had to carry Yang Yang on her back to prepare meals for everyone.
When she was done with her work, people would eat without waiting for her, because she had to feed Yang Yang first, and when she had fed him, there was often only a little vegetable left on the table.
Thinking about those three years of marriage, Hai Ling didn’t know how she had endured it.
It was only after the divorce that Hailing felt so foolish, because she loved Zhou Honglin and gave willingly, only to have it go down the drain.
“That’s fine, but it’s been raining all lately and the temperature continues to drop, so you should wear more when you take Yang Yang out. I’ll leave the car for you to use, and send you the keys when we leave later.”
Hai Ling didn’t refuse.
She admonished her sister a few more times before ending the call.
“Tong Tong, who are you talking to on the phone?”
War Yin woke up leisurely, just in time to see Hai Tong stuffing her phone back into the coat pocket of her jacket, and instinctively asked.
Hai Tong twisted her head to look at him twice, “You’re awake, you went somewhere to be a thief last night and only came back at dawn, right? You used to be at work by this time. Just now my sister called, she said she had prepared a New Year’s red packet for us, she forgot to take it to us and was going to send it over.”
“It’s raining and cold outside, I told her not to come over.”
The young couple were not short of money, it was just some customs that were in place.
“I didn’t go anywhere last night, I stayed with you to dream about the week, probably because it was cold and the nest was too warm, plus it was New Year’s holiday and the whole nerves were relaxed, so I couldn’t resist sleeping in.”
War Yin got out of bed and walked behind Hai Tong, hugging her from behind, “Have you packed all your things? I don’t need to bring my clothes, that’s my home, there’s also a change of clothes for me, you bring two more sets.”
“Yes oh, I also packed several sets of change of clothes for you, they take up too much space.”
Immediately, Hai Tong took his clothes out of the suitcase.
