It's almost Chinese New Year, and on this day, my wife, Sun Xue, and I were arguing over who to go back to for Chinese New Year.

"Why do you just go back to your house for the New Year? No matter what you say this year, you have to go home with me for the New Year." I said angrily.

"Isn't I the only one in my house?" Sun Xue looked righteous.

"You are the only one in your family, and I am the only son in my family? Everyone in the village goes to my house to pay New Year's greetings, so I won't give them New Year's greetings, okay?"

"You are all old feudal and superstitious, just your farmers' shit."

My face suddenly turned red, and I raised my hand unconsciously. Sun Xue looked at this posture and said, "Why? Do you still want to hit me?"

"Okay, if you don't go to my house, don't want me to go to your house in the future."

In fact, we had originally discussed a one-year family plan, but the first year I took Sun Xue back to her hometown for Chinese New Year, and she regretted it after I went there. Because my hometown is in rural Hebei, the conditions at home are a bit difficult, and there is no heating in the winter, which freezes Sun Xue, who grew up in the south.

I had no choice but to go to town and buy an electric heater. I thought it would be fine, but after a few days Sun Xue couldn't take it anymore. She was used to the bathroom since she was a child, and has never seen a toilet in the northern countryside. There was a pit blocked by an earth wall, which was dirty and smelly, and she shivered all over because of the cold wind. Sun Xue said that she really couldn't stay for a day and insisted on leaving. So we quarreled again. Sun Xue's voice was a little loud, and unfortunately my father heard it. Although he didn't say anything at the time, he drank too much wine during lunch and said to me, "If you want to leave, you can leave. Raising a son is really free."

Sun Xue was given a look and felt very aggrieved. Before the year passed, she went back to her home in a fit of anger.

But the day after Sun Xue left, my father still asked me to call and apologize to Sun Xue's parents on his behalf, saying that he had drunk too much and made the child sad.

Fortunately, the father-in-law and mother-in-law also said politely on the phone: "Xiaoxue is used to living in the city, and she is a little uncomfortable at first glance. It is also our fault that we pampered her too much since we were young. We only had a child like her at the age of 35. She is young and insensible. When she comes back, we will definitely educate her well."

Thinking about the year I was admitted to college, my family sold the only cow in the family to raise tuition fees for me.

After graduating from college, I stayed in the provincial capital to work. After work, I took my first month's salary home and gave it to my mother, saying, "I will repay all the money I spent on school to you two." My mother took it in her hand and smiled, saying that she saved it for me to get married in the future. When I got married, instead of paying off my "debt" as I said, I let her add a lot to me.

Despite my repeated requests for a simple wedding, my mother went to the best restaurant in town and arranged ten tables for us. Before that, there was no precedent in the village.

It was just that after the wedding reception that day, when I saw my mother carefully packing the leftovers from each table of banquets into a large fiber bag. I, who was dressed in a groom's outfit, couldn't hold back my tears and flowed down.

We bought the house in the provincial capital with a loan, but we still paid more than 300,000 for the down payment. Sun Xue and I didn't save much money at all. When I went home and told my parents about the house price, they were surprised to think I was talking nonsense, but they still gave me all the 40,000 yuan in the family and borrowed 50,000 yuan from relatives. Fortunately, Sun Xue's parents made up the rest, and I have always been grateful for that. I always let Sun Xue have something to do.

But when I went home the next year, I realized that my parents had planted more than ten acres of cotton that year, because growing cotton sold a lot of money, but growing cotton was the most laborious, time-consuming, and dangerous. When I saw my parents, who were nearly 60 years old, who had to carry a pesticide box to the cotton field to get pesticides every day, I couldn't help myself from crying.

The next year, I didn't want to go to Sun Xue's house for the New Year either, but my mother called me early and told me not to do anything stupid, and I must go back to her parents' house with Sun Xue for the New Year.

This year, I originally wanted to have a good discussion with Sun Xue, because my parents had called to say that the home had installed soil heating for us. But in a hurry, we quarreled again.

Seeing the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, this afternoon, Sun Xue's mother called to ask when Sun Xue would go home for the Chinese New Year. Sun Xue lied and said, "He has to be on duty this year, so I can only go back by myself." In the evening, Sun Xue's mother may feel that something is wrong and call again.

Sun Xue's father said loudly on the phone: "Look at how you made the old man angry the year before last. This year, you must go back with Chen Wei for the New Year and apologize to him well."

The next day, Sun Xue made breakfast and called me to eat. I couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking that Sun Xue agreed to go home with me for the New Year, and I felt sorry for her in my heart. In fact, I had an idea in my heart, so I said, "Why don't we go to your house first, visit your parents, and then go back to my house for the New Year, okay? Anyway, run more."

Sun Xue said: "Come on, our broken car can run so far? Besides, there are bridge tolls along the way, how much will it cost?"

We were talking when my cell phone rang. It was from a fellow decorator in the city who asked me if I would go home for the Chinese New Year this year. He said that he had taken on a big job this year and made money, so he bought a "Business Hyundai" and said that he could take us with him if I went home.

I asked Sun Xue. Sun Xue said: "Look at them, they will become rich in a few years, when will we be able to take them with such a high profile!"

I said in fear, "I will definitely work hard." Sun Xue sighed and said, "Who told me to marry a useless man like you? Besides, my father's life is hard to violate, so I have no choice but to obey the little girl."

I immediately made a humorous gesture of kowtowing: "Queen Lafayette, you can be so sympathetic and condescending to your noble body, and your slave will not hesitate to go up the mountain of knives and down the sea of fire."

The day Sun Xue and I got off the bus in the town, it was snowing, and suddenly we heard the familiar shout: "Is there anyone who buys dates?" I turned around and saw that it was no one else but my mother.

At this time, a customer came up and said, "There is not much profit on such a day. You are so old, you should enjoy happiness." "What happiness! You have suffered all your life."

"I can ask my son to take you to the provincial capital to stay for a few days." "Don't mention my son, his life is not as easy as mine. I borrowed a lot of money, I don't know when I will be able to pay it off? I can't give him much money, so if I don't cause him trouble, I should recite Buddha."

"They come back for the Chinese New Year?" "They come back once every two years. My daughter-in-law is from the city and is not used to staying in our poor country. However, she likes to eat our dates.

"I'm happy to have a grandson." Today is the last day to come out, and it's sold out. I have to make some cotton-padded clothes for my grandson."

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Sun Xue pulled me to my mother and called out "Mom" loudly, which startled my mother. "Mom, what happened the year before last was that I was not sensible, don't tell me about it!Sun Xue stuck out his tongue and made a face.

The mother tightened her face and pretended to be angry and said, "My grandson is in your belly, and I can eat you!"" "Mom! Look at you," Sun Xue looked ashamed.

In the snow, the three of us laughed together, and spring may be on its way.
