Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 166 Happy New Year
Next up were my second uncle and aunt, who also prepared two, as did my third uncle and aunt.

After the faces were cleaned up, the children showered the children with compliments, like a machine gun that couldn't stop.

The two younger members, Bai Yong and Guanghui, couldn't wait any longer and opened their red envelopes.

We're all family, so naturally we didn't think too much about it. The adults had already agreed beforehand that the amount in each red envelope would be the same.

I'm not afraid of being embarrassed.

What do children want to do most when they have money?
Of course, we should go buy firecrackers.

But there's no rush; going tomorrow will be the same.

The sensible Bai Ling and Yu Meng actually wanted to give the red envelopes to their parents, but they wouldn't accept them.

"Keep it safe for yourself, you can use it to buy school supplies next year," the adults said with loving expressions.

Bai Jing handed over her salary the night before Chinese New Year, and she didn't give away any of her New Year's money; she kept it for herself.

That night, neither my second uncle nor my third uncle's family went back; they all stayed at home.

They left after lunch the next day and even made an appointment to have dinner at their second uncle's house that evening, which Bai Quanfu's family readily agreed to.

It is said that sons return home on the first day of the Lunar New Year, visit their wives' home on the second day, and visit relatives on the third and fourth days.

They naturally stayed at home on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and only started going to their parents' home on the second day.

Speaking of her maternal family, Bai Jing didn't know what her mother thought.

From the time she was old enough to understand, she had absolutely no memory of her maternal grandmother's family.

Even during the most difficult and challenging times for her family, no one from her maternal grandmother's family ever came to visit her mother.

In previous years, her family had never visited her maternal relatives. This time, it's unclear whether her mother will visit her maternal relatives' home.

However, she believed her mother would handle it herself.

Sure enough, when Luo Chunhua returned from having dinner at her second uncle's house, she told Bai Quanfu about visiting her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

“If you want to go back, I’ll go back with you. They had it tough before, and I understand you have resentment in your heart. It’s all my fault.” Bai Quanfu held his wife’s hand tightly, giving her strength and warmth.

Luo Chunhua still hadn't decided whether to go back that night.

It would take a lot of time to go back and forth. Besides, if we set off on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we wouldn't be able to get to our parents' home that day. We would have to go on the third day of the Lunar New Year at the earliest.

She didn't make the decision to go back until she woke up the next day.

Upon hearing the news, the children were overjoyed.

Now that the family is not short of money and tickets, when I go back to my parents' home, I will no longer go empty-handed or bring wild vegetables as I used to.

When Bai Jing learned that they were going back to her maternal grandmother's house, she asked, "Mom, when will we be able to come back? I have to go to work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year." That's right, Bai Jing had to go to work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

She was given an early holiday before the Lunar New Year, so naturally she would return to work early after the holiday.

Luo Chunhua is a spring chef; she doesn't start work until after the tenth day of the lunar new year, while the head chef starts work on the first day.

We set off on the second day of the Lunar New Year, arrived on the third, and after resting for two more days, it will be the fifth. If we don't plan to stay long, we can come back earlier.

But she can only go back to her parents' home once a year, and Luo Chunhua also wants to stay at her parents' home for a few more days.

She couldn't bear to leave Xiaojing alone at home. "How about we don't go back this year and wait until next year when everyone has time?" She knew that Xiaojing had to go back to work earlier.

“Mom, you don’t need to do this. You can come back whenever you want. Grandma must miss you too.” In her past life, she remembered that her mother and her youngest uncle were quite close.

The fact that the two are close could also be due to the fact that one of them is the least fortunate in terms of circumstances.

Of course, this was just her guess. However, her uncle was indeed quite nice, though he was still young at the time and not yet married.

Her mother had five sisters: one older brother, two younger sisters, and one younger brother.

My older brother is already married. My eldest sister married someone from the village. My younger sister married someone from Baijia Village, just like Luo Chunhua. My younger brother won't be able to get married for another two years.

Although her family couldn't help her when she was in trouble, they were still her parents who raised her, so she naturally wanted to return home in glory.

"Then what will you do?" She was still worried about her daughter. "It's so lonely for you to be home alone. Why don't you come back with us and visit your grandparents before we come back?" Luo Chunhua was worried about her daughter being home alone.

Bai Jing shook her head. "Mom, I'm all grown up now. I won't go hungry at home. Besides, it's been so many years since I've been back. If I go back, I'll stay for a few more days. Dad has time too. We might not have another chance like this next time."

She didn't want to hold her mother back because of herself; returning to her parents' home was the most anticipated thing for every married woman.

After saying that, Bai Jing gave her father a wink. Bai Quanfu also felt sorry for his daughter, but he wanted to please his wife even more. "How about we listen to Xiao Jing and come back sooner?"

Luo Chunhua looked at this and that, but in the end, her desire to return to her parents' home prevailed over her concern for her daughter.

“Alright, let’s go back. We’ll come back early then,” Luo Chunhua said decisively.

“Mom, it’s rare for you to come back, so stay a few more days and keep Grandma company. I’ll be fine at home. Besides, I have to go out to visit relatives on the third day of the Lunar New Year, so I might not even eat at home.”

At this moment, they all forgot about the dinner they were supposed to treat Zhong Qiming and the others to in the third year of junior high school.

Bai Jing was the one who remembered the incident afterward, but Zhong Qiming and Wang Fei came to visit at that time, and Bai Jing explained the situation to them.

After agreeing on this, Luo Chunhua began preparing food supplies for her entire family.

That's right, these days you have to bring your own food when you go out to visit someone.

They couldn't possibly carry that much stuff with them, so besides some food for the road, she mainly carried money and food coupons.

With grain coupons, you can buy grain in the village, so you don't have to worry about your own family starving your mother's family.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Jing personally escorted her parents and younger siblings to the bus station.

Looking at the dilapidated car, she was somewhat glad she hadn't gone.

After giving repeated instructions, the car started, and Bai Jing walked back.

Today, perhaps because God knew there would be many people out and about, the snow stopped falling and the sun peeked out, bringing warmth to everyone.

On her way home, Bai Jing ran into Zhang Cuicui.

"Aren't you going to your parents' house today?" Bai Jing was a little surprised to see her, after all, today was the day to visit one's parents' home.

“My maternal grandmother’s house is far away. I went there last year, but my mother said she wouldn’t go back this year. So, she’s arranging blind dates for my second brother during the first month of the lunar year.” Zhang Cuicui was naturally happy to meet her friend.

She was only visiting relatives, which is why she didn't go to bother them early in the morning. Unexpectedly, the two of them became the ones with the most free time.

"That's great! Come on, let's go to my house for a bit." Her house had been so lively before, and she was still a little unaccustomed to the sudden quiet.

They happened to run into Cuicui, and they insisted on taking her back to sit for a while, as she didn't want to face a room full of silence alone.

“No problem, but wait a moment, I’ll go get something. I can’t just show up empty-handed during the New Year.” Zhang Cuicui naturally had no objection.

Bai Jing said it wasn't necessary, but Zhang Cuicui disagreed and insisted on going home to get her things.

Bai Jing had no choice but to wait for her to arrive at home.

However, she had also prepared tea and desserts for her.
