Chapter 195: A few families are happy and a few are sad
Zhou Bin left work on time at half past five, when there were few vehicles and pedestrians on the road.
Most people should be at home with their families, eating and chatting.
Facing the cold wind, he slowly rode the electric car that was about to freeze, in fact, riding at this time was simply a punishment, because the wind poured into the body from everywhere, and no matter how much clothes he wrew, he felt as if he was not wearing the cold.
Ten minutes away, Zhou Bin felt as if a year had passed.
On the way, he guesses what it will be like when he arrives home.
Will Qin Wan wait at the door as she imagined?
Will Joy be watching TV on the couch with a snack?
On the first Chinese New Year's Eve of Dad's death, Mom will definitely be sad and sad, right?
Zhou Bin, who was like an arrow, added the accelerator of the car to the end, but the car with two wheels could not run 40 miles at the fastest.
Finally, he shook his body and went downstairs to his house, parked the car and hurriedly ran upstairs.
He didn't know why he was already thirty years old, and he still had the impatient feeling of a child urging him to hurry up and hurry up.
Seeing that there was nothing on the door of his house, he knew that his mother must have been filial piety for his father for three years according to the old custom.
When he opened the door, Zhou Bin's hand trembled a little excitedly.
When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was Yueyue, who was holding the doll, was looking at him with big eyes.
"Dad, you're back!" Yue Yue smiled faintly, and stretched out her head to look out, and when she didn't see anything, she withdrew her gaze in disappointment and walked to the living room.
Zhou Bin felt bitter in his heart when he closed the door, but Qin Wan really didn't come.
There was a strong smell of meat wafting from the restaurant, grandma was still stir-frying, and the old-fashioned range hood that had been more than ten years old made a loud noise, and Zhou Bin's heart was a little irritable.
Seeing that there were already hot pots and seven or eight dishes on the table, Zhou Bin walked over to stop his mother from cooking more.
Grandma looked at Zhou Bin and didn't speak. Zhou Bin clearly saw that his mother's eyes were red, and there were faint tear stains that had not been wiped clean.
"Mom, it's good to eat enough, and it's a waste to do too much. Zhou Bin felt unspeakably uncomfortable, the days that should have been happy and reunited have now become like this.
"The last dish is your dad's favorite food, and he won't make it when it's done. Mom whispered, the spatula in her hand kept turning the dishes.
Zhou Bin didn't say anything more, returned to the living room, and saw that the electronic candle in front of his father's portrait had been energized and was glowing red.
Three sticks of smoked incense were inserted in the small incense burner, and three plates of tribute, namely apples, toffee, and egg yolk pie.
These are Dad's favorite fruits and snacks during his lifetime.
Although Yueyue's eyes were looking at the TV, she was observing Zhou Bin's every move.
"Yueyue, this dress looks so good today. Zhou Bin deliberately talked to Yueyue in order to make himself feel better.
"Dad, this dress was given to me by Teacher Qin on New Year's Day, and I have worn it three times. Yueyue's sudden change in her address to Qin Wan surprised Zhou Bin.
"Why did you suddenly change your name to teacher?" Zhou Bin asked strangely.
"She's supposed to be my teacher, there's nothing wrong with her. Yue Yue pouted, rolled her eyes, and looked at Zhou Bin very unexpectedly.
Zhou Bin knew that she was blaming herself for not picking up Qin Wan for the New Year, and last night she asked many times before going to bed if she would pick up her mother for the New Year, and Zhou Bin was perfunctory.
"Grandma said that you can only call your mother when you get married, otherwise others will laugh at Teacher Qin. In the future, I will call her Teacher Qin. Yueyue said in a low voice, her hand kept pulling the hair of the doll in her arms, but she didn't pull it off for a long time.
Zhou Bin stretched out his hand to pull Yueyue and touched her little head: "Do you like Teacher Qin to be a mother?"
"Of course I do. I think she's a mom. Yueyue looked up at Zhou Bin, the long eyelashes on her two eyes showed that her eyes were big and round, and her watery look made people feel extremely cute.
"Wash your hands and eat. Grandma shouted in the kitchen, Zhou Bin swallowed what she was about to say, and pulled Yueyue to wash her hands and eat.
Because the car was still being repaired, Gu Yan called Qin Lei and asked him to either take the bus or call back after work.
When Qin Lei arrived home, it was just half past six, he got off work at six o'clock, and the leader asked him to come back first, and the leader was still on duty.
Their main job on duty is to supervise citizens not to set off open firecrackers and fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although fireworks and firecrackers have been banned for more than ten years, most people now do not put or choose electronic firecrackers, only the sound, no open flame, and no safety hazards.
But every year, there are always some old-fashioned people who don't know where to get the firecrackers, which is the biggest safety hazard.
Nowadays, the spacing between the houses in the community is so small, and the two fires some time ago, the leaders are more important than anything else about the safety during the Spring Festival.
Qin Lei's Spring Festival duty is focused on safety issues, so he is also very experienced when he is on duty for two or three consecutive years.
Qin Lei, who had just entered the door, couldn't help but smile when he saw that the living room and dining room were decorated by several girls and were festive and warm.
"I guess this lily was picked by my sister and pruned and bottled by herself, right?
This rich bamboo was chosen by Yan Yan, right? This girl likes affordable and long-lasting things.
Did Lin Yang choose these bells and whistles balloons and charms?"
Qin Lei pointed to the red, green, and green colored lights that wrapped around the partition of the living room and asked with disgust on his face.
helped serve the dishes in the restaurant, and the few people who set the dishes and chopsticks didn't pay attention to Qin Lei, because those were bought by Liu Weiwen, and he hung them up little by little and didn't want others to help.
Liu Weiwen walked up to Qin Lei with a smirk and looked at him, "What did you just say about these charms and balloons?"
Qin Lei guessed that these things must have been made by her as soon as he saw her expression, and hurriedly looked at the lanterns with an expression of appreciation: "The colorful colors, the brilliant light and the festive atmosphere of this family reunion are very consistent." Wonderful!"
Gu Yan couldn't help but glance at Qin Lei with disgust, and sure enough, this man looked at people talking.
Liu Weiwen smiled and patted Qin Lei's shoulder: "Brother has a good eye, no wonder Sister Yan Yan will take a fancy to you! ”
Qin Lei didn't feel happy at all when he heard Liu Weiwen's words, but felt as if she was sarcastic about herself?
In fact, Liu Weiwen is sarcastic about how quickly he changes his face.
Qin Lei spread his hands and said that it is really difficult for men to live well these days.
After Qin Wan heard this little episode in the living room, she finished the last sweet soup and greeted everyone with a smile.
Qin Lei, who had been hungry for a long time, ran over and picked up a chicken leg and gnawed it, and was hit on the back of his hand by Gu Yan: "Have you washed your hands?"
"If you don't do it, you won't get sick if you eat it!" Qin Lei replied vaguely while quickly biting the meat.
Lin Yang handed him a disposable glove to put on, and Qin Lei smiled at Lin Yang gratefully.
Then, he saw Lin Yang put on his gloves and picked up the largest hairy crab and began to sit down and eat it slowly.
"There are hairy crabs, don't you say it earlier?!" Qin Lei put down the chicken leg and shouted.
"Are you blind? You can't see such a big plate?" Liu Weiwen took three and put them on the empty plate in front of him, and sat down to pry up the crab shell.
