"Uncle Ding, don't be too polite. You are Dingxiang's father, just like my father. It's my duty. It's up to me to save you. You are only fifty years old and not old. Good days in the future are still to come. Just like those who have had surgery like this, you must pay attention to taking care of your body and not eat too irritating things and too cold food. You have suffered for half your life and almost lost your life. I can save you once, it's all fate. It's not easy for me to go with Dingxiang until now. Just use your chopsticks to eat."

Half an hour later, all four of them were ready. So Hua Tiancheng took out three red envelopes from his pocket and said, "Godmother, Uncle Ding, and Ding Lilac, this is my little wish. Today is New Year's Eve, and everyone's pockets cannot be empty. It is not easy for us to get together. I cherish this life that comes from difficult. This is the red envelope I have given to you. Please accept it."

The old godmother refused to accept it: "Tiancheng, my godmother lives with you and eats with you. During the New Year, my godmother should give you a red envelope. How can I ask you to give me a red envelope? I can't accept this red envelope. Besides, I'm eating well and dressing well now. It's useless for me to ask for money. You'd better put it away and give it to others."

"Tiancheng, I can't ask for it either. I am an elder. I should have red envelopes with you. You not only saved my life, but also let Dingxiang be a nurse. If you can earn money at work, I am higher than anything else." Old Ding also returned the red envelope of 1,000 yuan to Hua Tiancheng. Seeing that he didn't want it, Dingxiang also said: "Tiancheng, I'm working now and I have a monthly salary. Why do you give red envelopes? I'm not a child. I can't take this money, so you'd better take it back."

"Godmother, Uncle Ding, Dingxiang. I, Hua Tiancheng, treat you three as my relatives. I give you red envelopes, which means I care about you. Godmother, you don't have a pension salary now, so what do you give me red envelopes? And Uncle Ding, you haven't had a long time after the operation, and you are slowly recovering. You don't have money, so what do you give you red envelopes? And Dingxiang, you are my girlfriend now and my family. Shouldn't I give you red envelopes? Do you treat me as the head of the family in this family? They all have to be held, and if you don't take them, I will be unhappy. I rarely give you money. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, I want to express my feelings, don't you give me this opportunity and face?

Let’s say that tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. If someone brings your children to see you and you don’t have money, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?”

When the three of them looked at each other when they heard this, Dingxiang looked at Hua Tiancheng unhappy, so she picked up the red envelope on the table and smiled and said, "You are my boyfriend, it's time to give me a red envelope. Thank you, I'll accept it."

"Since Tiancheng said that, I'll take it." The old godmother picked up the thousand yuan with trembling hands, opened it and put it in her pocket, and tears fell down: "Tiancheng, my godmother worked for 93 years, and she was 94 after the Chinese New Year. This is the first time I have received a red envelope in 94 years, or a red envelope of 1,000 yuan. When I was a child, only my parents gave me New Year's money, and at most one yuan. Now the times have changed, and it is the children who give their parents a red envelope. I thank you."

When Lao Ding saw Hua Tiancheng looking at him, he also picked up his 1,000 yuan red envelope on the dining table, and said with red eyes: "Tiancheng, since you said that, I will take it. It should have been the one I gave you and Dingxiang red envelopes, but my uncle used to be a sheep herd. She has been very rigid in her mind for so many years, and she has forgotten the human nature and worldly style. Seeing that you and Dingxiang are both promising now, I am very happy in my heart. Dingxiang's mother will smile and I also thank you for your kindness."

Seeing that everyone had brought the red envelopes, Hua Tiancheng looked at the old godmother and Uncle Ding said, "The godmother is now in her nineties, and Uncle Ding is also fifty. After so many years, no one has kowtowed to you. Today I will kowtow to you two old men, each of them will be the end of this New Year's Eve dinner."

When Uncle Ding heard Hua Tiancheng was about to kowtow, he panicked: "You can't do it. You are the village director of Meirengou and the director of the surgery department of the People's Hospital. We can't afford it. Dingxiang, please hold Tiancheng away."

"What are you pulling? Dingxiang, come and kowtow to the two old men. It is not just to say it, but to do it. I, Hua Tiancheng, is not as good as not to kowtow to my godmother and Uncle Ding. In this family, there are no village directors, and there are no surgical directors. Dingxiang and I are your children."

After hearing this, Dingxiang was also infected by Hua Tiancheng and lie on the ground and kowtowed to each of the two old men. Then the four of them began to sit on the sand and watch the Spring Festival Gala. The 50-inch LCD TV made Lao Ding sigh. How could he have such a happy life? All of this was because of his daughter's success that he had the treatment and life today. If his daughter Dingxiang did not divorce, would she still have such a happy life? Thinking of him insisting on not letting her daughter divorce, and at the door of Changshou County People's Hospital, he slapped her with a cruel slap for Dingxiang's divorce and Hua Tiancheng. Thinking of this scene, Lao Ding felt like a knife and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Dad, it's the New Year, why do you cry at any time?" Dingxiang asked in confusion as she looked at her father.

Lao Ding wiped his tears, wore good clothes for the New Year, leaned back and smiled, "I'm crying of happiness. I used to blame you and slapped you. My dad regrets it now when he thinks about it. He's so old and confused. Don't blame my dad, Dingxiang?"

"Dad, look at what you said, I am your daughter. What I did wrong? You should beat me and scold me. During the Chinese New Year, be happy and say something happy. Don't think about the unhappiness of the past. As long as you can live healthy, it is more important than anything else. You are the closest relative in this world now. Others may think that you were a sheep-herding person, but I, Dingxiang, will never despise you. As the saying goes, children do not despise their mothers and their families are poor."

After that, everyone ate fruits and entered the Spring Festival Gala. Time flies so fast. It is soon twelve o'clock in the evening. Just as the New Year bell was ringing, Hua Tiancheng suddenly heard a faint voice calling his name on the second floor: "Tiancheng-Tiancheng-" After hearing this voice, Hua Tiancheng ran wildly to the second floor without saying a word.
