    It snowed the night before New Year’s Eve, and it was still snowing the next day.

    Xiao Jingrui sent someone to bring the old man back, and he and his grandson had a quiet New Year’s Eve dinner.

    After finishing the meal, the old man asked Xiao Jingrui, “Did something happen to your elder brother?”

    Xiao Jingrui wiped the corners of his mouth, “No, Grandpa, he has been very busy these days. I will be back with you tomorrow.”

    “Really?” The old man felt slightly relaxed, “Jing Rui, you and your eldest brother must be fine. When your parents had an accident, your eldest brother single-handedly supported the family and the company. It was very hard for him. I just saw him working hard for so many years and wanted to make up for him, so I let you join the company to help him.”

    Xiao Jingrui lowered his eyes to look at the pattern of the tablecloth.

    The scene on the day after my parents died suddenly came to mind:

    He stayed in the mourning hall and knelt for a long time. The eldest brother brought him a bowl of wonton soup.

    He didn’t pick it up, so the eldest brother just sat there and fed one spoonful after another into his mouth.

    He asked his eldest brother while crying, “Brother, your parents are dead, why don’t you cry? Is your heart made of iron? Why are you so cold-blooded?”

    Xiao Hongshen fed all the wontons to he and then said, “Jing Rui, you take care of the house, I’m going to the company.”

    Xiao Jingrui lived a miserable few days, kneeling in the mourning hall every day. When he came out, he found out that the old man fell ill at some point and was lying in the hospital. The eldest brother traveled to the company and hospital every day. He was also busy with his parents’ funerals, sending obituaries to various partners in the company, and taking care of this younger brother who only knew how to cry.

    On the night of his parents’ first birthday, Xiao Jingrui stayed vigil for a long time. When he returned upstairs, he heard suppressed crying coming from the end of the corridor.

    He stood at the door of his eldest brother for a long time, and the crying never stopped.

    The next morning, he saw his serious and dull elder brother again.

    During the Chinese New Year that year, it was the most deserted year for our family.

    However, Xiao Jingrui still remembered that when he returned home, he saw his elder brother clumsily learning to make dumplings with the servant in the kitchen.

    He stuffed coins into the dumplings, put the dumplings stuffed with coins into the bowls of the old man and Xiao Jingrui, and gave his blessings to them.

    Xiao Jingrui stood at the door and blew the cold wind for a long time, then said to Yin Mian, “Go to the police station.”

    Yin Mangan drove he to the door of the police station.

    Xiao Hongshen’s case has not yet been decided, and the court has scheduled a summons for April.

    Less than two months to go.

    Xiao Jingrui met Xiao Hongshen in the interrogation room.

    The elite appearance of the past no longer exists. He has an unkempt beard, dark and heavy circles under his eyes, and his face is much haggard.

    Seeing Xiao Jingrui, Xiao Hongshen sneered and sat on a chair and asked, “Come to see me laugh?”

    Xiao Jingrui took out a thermos box from behind, opened it and handed it over. Inside was a box of steaming dumplings.

    Xiao Hongshen stared at the box of dumplings and said nothing for a long time.

    “Brother.” Xiao Jingrui took the chopsticks and handed them over, “See if you can eat the coins.”

    Xiao Hongshen stared at him sarcastically and asked, “Want to choke me to death?”

    Xiao Jingrui had no intention of joking with him. He just pointed at the box of dumplings and said, “Eat it. I will withdraw the case and let you out.”

    Xiao Hongshen’s expression changed slightly, and he stared at him gloomily, “What tricks are you playing?”

    “Eat first.” Xiao Jingrui stared at the chopsticks in his hand.

    Xiao Hongshen hesitated for a moment. Although he didn’t understand what Xiao Jingrui was doing, he lowered his head and picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth.

    The first bite caught the coin.

    he spit out the coin and dropped it on the table.

    Xiao Jingrui threw the key to the company office in front of him, “Congratulations, you are free. You can go back to work. Before that, do one thing for me.”

    “Jingrui Xiao, are you kidding me?!” Xiao Hongshen felt like he was being fooled, and stood up angrily, “What on earth are you going to do?!”

    “Brother, let go of the past. What once belonged to you, I will give it back to you.” Xiao Jingrui looked at him, under his handsome eyebrows, there was a bit of sadness and loneliness in his peach blossom eyes.

    “Can you give me back what belongs to me?”
