The trees on both sides of the main road in Caojiazhuang from south to north are also hung with red lanterns and colorful light strips. Even before the Spring Festival, you can already feel the festive atmosphere in advance.

Moreover, from the courtyard of Caojiazhuang Village Committee, there was a burst of cheerful music and the sound of gongs and drums from time to time. Those were people who were preparing for the program. They were not afraid of the severe cold and were still doing the final rehearsals.

During the day on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year, they will present a wonderful performance to the whole village.

At this moment, not to mention the people in Caojiazhuang, even the people in several surrounding villages are waiting patiently.

They were envious of the changes in Caojiazhuang, but also felt sad about the everlasting appearance of their own village.

For the people in Caojiazhuang, they truly feel that their lives are getting better day by day, and they are grateful from the bottom of their hearts to the person who brought about changes in their entire village.

There has never been such a thing as the village holding its own show before. This year, in order to let the people feel the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival even more, the Caojiazhuang Village Committee also paid a high price to hire a performance team from the county.

As soon as the car stopped, Wang Yuelan heard the noise outside and ran out of her home. When she saw them coming back, Wang Yuelan said, "Why are you coming back so soon? If you don't stay there for one more day, you can come back tomorrow."

"Mom, there's nothing wrong. I've finished all my work. We're still in the way if we stay there. Come back and prepare." Cheng Xiaolin said.

That being said, Wang Yuelan still felt that it was not easy to go back and spend more time with the old man.

Comparing their feelings, they are getting older and more aware that people need companionship more as they get older.

"Grandma, hug me." Cao Yirui ran towards his grandma, opened his hands and wanted her to hold her.

Wang Yuelan bent down and picked him up, and said to her grandson: "Did you eat too much at your grandma's house last night? Why has he sunk so much? I can hardly hold him anymore."

"Hehe!" Cao Yirui laughed and told his grandma what to eat.

Seeing the little guy's serious expression, Wang Yuelan was still praising: "Is the food cooked by your grandma more delicious?"

"My mother is really good at talking." Cao Shujie told his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin also had a bright smile on her face. While watching her mother-in-law help her coax her son, she listened to what her husband said and responded: "That's right, Mom has always been like this. How can I be as stubborn as you?"

Before entering the house, Cao Jianguo shouted at home: "Shujie, come in quickly when you come back. It's cold outside, don't freeze Linlin and the two children."

When Cao Shujie heard what his father said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that he had no human rights at all in this family.

…

In a town below Hejian in Beihe Province, Tong Jiayi drove back from Yiling City with the New Year goods he bought. It was already the afternoon of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

There were many cars going back and forth on the road. When he entered the village, Tong Jiayi also met his old classmates. However, he was in a hurry to go home and did not stop to chat more. He also wanted to put his things down and go play with them again.

Arriving at the door of his house and looking at the somewhat old house, Tong Jiayi's memories were instantly brought back to his childhood.

He was born and raised here and stayed in the capital to work after graduation.

When he worked at the Beijing Agricultural Science Research Institute, he was only given a few hundred thousand a year at the beginning. Excluding deductions such as insurance provident fund, the actual amount he received was not very high.

In the next two years, the salary increased each year, and sometimes he could get more bonuses for completing projects. When he was poached by Xuemeng Food Factory, he received more than 200,000 yuan a year, but this money is actually not much in that part of the capital.

.

After all, rent and daily expenses are the major expenses.

Tong Jiayi has always wanted to help his family renovate their house after making money, but he was unable to do so before.

Now I finally have this ability.

He was still thinking about the next arrangement when the dog at home started barking, and then a woman's voice came: "Who is it?"

"Mom, it's me." Tong Jiayi responded. The voice was so familiar that he didn't think twice about it.

Not long after, an old-looking woman came out of the house. She was Tong Jiayi's mother, Zheng Suying. She was actually less than 60 years old, but her face looked like a 70-year-old woman.

The skin on his face is tanned and rough from working in the crop fields all year round.

But seeing her son back, Zheng Suying showed a happy smile on her face.

She also looked back: "Jiayi, didn't you say you had a date? Your partner didn't come?"

When Zheng Suying was on the phone with her son, she learned about this incident from her son, and she kept thinking about it, especially wanting to see her daughter-in-law as soon as possible.

"Mom, Fangfang will come over in the next year. I'll come back by myself first." Tong Jiayi said helplessly.
