Chapter 517: A sea of people
"It's better to be in the city!" the old lady couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder everyone wants to go to the city, we don't have so many tricks in the country!"
When people in the countryside celebrate the New Year, what they are most looking forward to is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and red envelopes. At 12 o'clock in the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone will also take out the firecrackers they bought early and set them off. No matter how poor a family is, there will be no string of firecrackers.
So at this time, the village, which has long been quiet, is full of firecrackers, followed by the crying of children who are awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
Things like fireworks are not necessities, and naturally few people in the countryside are willing to spend money on them. Occasionally, one or two people who are willing to spend money buy some fireworks and come back to set them off, and the whole village is afraid that they will stand at the door of their own house, looking up at the fireworks shining in the sky in the distance, and they are excited.
Of course, in another ten years, the life of the country people will gradually get better. At that time, fireworks will be banned in the city, but the countryside is big and no one cares, so there will be more fireworks tricks.
This can be regarded as feng shui in turn.
Seeing that the old lady liked it, Qin Mutong smiled and said, "Every year after that, we will come out to watch the fireworks show every year for the Chinese New Year!"
Anyway, I don't know how many years this fireworks show can be held, the old lady is in good health, and it's good to walk around more.
The old lady smiled and nodded: "That's a good idea!"
Zheng Fangyi drove to the place, and found that the neighborhood was full of citizens who had heard the news. This man is so crowded that there is no place to park for him.
In the end, there was no way, Qin Mutong had to tell him the name and location of the western restaurant, she took the old lady to get out of the car first, and the two walked over, and then Zheng Fangyi went to the nearby to find a place to park, and then came to meet them after parking.
Qin Mutong was still worried when he helped the old lady to walk forward, he was afraid that so many people would be crowded together, and the old lady would be accidentally squeezed when the time came. Unexpectedly, the old lady herself didn't care at all, and she was very excited, urging Qin Mutong vigorously: "Hurry up, hurry up, take pictures of so many people." When I get back to the village, I must give the photo to Grandma Li and they have a good look. That's more than when we go to the market in town!"
When they just got out of the car, the old lady specially instructed Qin Mutong to bring the camera. Qin Mutong originally thought that it would be okay for Zheng Fangyi to hold this, but since the old lady said so, she didn't think much about it and directly brought the camera down.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that the old lady actually hit this idea, and she couldn't wait to start taking pictures!
Qin Mutong couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly said: "Milk, don't worry! Just where we are standing now, the angle is not good, the light is not good, and I am afraid that the photos taken will be paste! Wait for a while when we get to the restaurant, and we will shoot again when we get upstairs, and there will definitely be more people in the photos at that time!"
The old lady didn't know much about taking pictures, she was always the one who was photographed. Hearing her granddaughter say this, the old lady became anxious and urged Qin Mutong to hurry in the direction of the restaurant.
Qin Mutong had no choice, so he directly tightened the old lady and shuttled in from the crowd.
When they finally arrived at the restaurant, Jin Xiaoqing, who was upstairs, saw them with sharp eyes, standing by the window and waving to Qin Mutong vigorously: "Tong Tong! I'm here!
As soon as Qin Mutong raised his head, he was startled by Jin Xiaoqing, who was half of his body poked out of the window!
She hurriedly shouted, "Stay away from the window, we'll be coming up soon!"
Before the words fell, Jin Mingguo's figure also appeared by the window. He stretched out his big hand, directly grabbed the collar on Jin Xiaoqing's back neck and pulled her back, the scene was very funny.
Qin Mutong couldn't help laughing, and then took the old lady upstairs.
Not to mention, although today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, many people are eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, and it stands to reason that the restaurant at this time should have no business.
The main reason is that everyone has not yet made the habit of ordering a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the hotel.
But this Western restaurant didn't know if it knew early that there would be a fireworks show nearby, and chose to open normally without a holiday in the Chinese New Year's Eve.
As a result, when Qin Mutong and the old lady came over, the seats in the western restaurant were basically full, and I am afraid that most of them came to occupy a seat to watch the fireworks.
And everyone has more or less ordered some food on the table, and there are more than a lot of drinks and alcohol, so you can't occupy someone's place in vain, right?
In this way, even if this Western restaurant can't make a lot of money tonight, it will definitely not lose money.
Qin Mutong and the old lady went upstairs, and Jin Xiaoqing was waiting for them at the edge of the stairs. Seeing the old lady, Jin Xiaoqing grabbed the old lady's other arm and said sweetly: "Happy New Year to Grandma Han!"
"Okay, everyone, Happy New Year!" the old lady smiled and took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into Jin Xiaoqing's hand.
Jin Xiaoqing really didn't expect this, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and hurriedly returned the red envelope to the old lady.
"This is a red envelope for New Year's greetings, you can keep it!" the old lady smiled, "I can't let you call me grandma for nothing, right?"
Jin Xiaoqing had no choice but to look at Qin Mutong as if she was asking for help.
It was the first time Qin Mutong saw Jin Xiaoqing like this, and he thought it was quite interesting.
She nodded and said, "Let you take it! This is given by the elders, and the elders can't give it away!"
Jin Xiaoqing: "......"
Having said that, if she still refuses to accept it, she will see Qin Mutong outside.
"Then thank you Grandma Han. Jin Xiaoqing said with a smile, "Then I will ask Tong Tong to take your old man out to play together during the Chinese New Year, so that I can receive an extra New Year's red envelope every year!"
The words made the old lady laugh: "Okay, good, as long as you young people don't dislike it, I, the old woman, will come out every year!"
"There is a treasure in the family, as long as you don't think we are too noisy. "Jin Xiaoqing also has an old man at home, and this coaxes the old man to be handy, one by one.
After a few words, the old lady couldn't wait to spoil her like her own granddaughter.
The old lady was also happy in her heart.
She just likes this kind of lively and cheerful young girl.
Although she thinks her granddaughter is also very good, she is too sensible and calm, and she lacks the vitality of a young girl.
Tong Tong is a good classmate.
If she can bring Tong Tong alive a little more, then she will really thank God!

Qin Mutong and Jin Xiaoqing accompanied the old lady to the position by the window.
Jin Mingguo was already ready to pull a chair for the old lady, full of gentlemanly style.
