Chapter 024: Lantern Festival
Wang Yingru heard Zhang Qing's shout and glanced at her.
The little eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the big eyes seemed to be full of sadness and pleading.
Wang Yingru was breathless.
It stands to reason that such a young child should not have such emotions, but for some reason, Wang Yingru felt that she was getting such information from Zhang Qing's expression and eyes.
This made her almost utter reproach choke in her throat all at once.
She suddenly remembered what she had thought: the quarrel between her and Zhang Shouguo might have a very bad impact on Qingqing.
And now Zhang Qing's performance seems to verify this idea.
Qingqing has been sensible since she was a child, and when she is less than a year old, no matter what adults say to her, she can understand it. Even when she talks to Qingqing sometimes, she can't treat her like a real child.
Who have you ever seen reason with a child over a year old?
Who expects a little more than a year old to understand the truth?
But sunny and sunny can.
Wang Yingru suddenly realized that how could such a sensible Qingqing not understand the quarrel between her and Zhang Shouguo.
If other children of this age saw their parents arguing, they might not understand what was going on, but how could Qingqing not understand?
What she interrupted just now was to prevent her and Zhang Shouguo from continuing to quarrel!
How can I only figure it out now, it's not even as good as such a small Qingqing!
Wang Yingru only felt that the words in her throat and eyes could no longer be spoken.
After a pause, Wang Yingru put on her shoes and got off the kang: "I'm going to boil water, it's time to make dumplings, and you can bring the Lantern Festival later." ”
Zhang Qing and Zhang Shouguo breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Zhang Qing understood that perhaps her own participation played a role.
Zhang Shouguo was relieved but also a little puzzled, according to Wang Yingru's character in the past, she would have to argue with him at this time, how could she let it go so easily this time?
"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and take Qingqing to wait on the kang. Wang Yingru gave him a blank look.
If it weren't for Qingqing's sake, with his attitude towards her, she wouldn't have let it go gently!
Every time the topic involves Ding Guihua, he specifies that he has no good face for her. In Zhang Shouguo's heart, his status will never be as good as his mother's status!
Wang Yingru thought a little angrily and a little sadly.
"Oops, this is the big TV that our baby Qingqing earned back!" Zhang Shouguo went to Ding Guihua first every time he went home, and this time was no exception, of course, he heard Ding Guihua tell him about it for the first time.
"It's really amazing, we can all make money! Sure enough, the dumplings for the New Year are not in vain!" Zhang Shouguo said in a relaxed tone.
Speaking of this, Wang Yingru couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
Her daughter is amazing!
Wang Yingru smiled, and the atmosphere at home was truly relaxed.
This may be the influence of the hostess on a family.
Soon, when the steaming dumplings and Lantern Festival were served, Wang Yingru and Zhang Shouguo were already able to talk and laugh freely.
After all, the family has just ushered in two happy events at the beginning of the year, one is that Qingqing earned 400 yuan, and the other is that Zhang Shouguo has increased his salary.
This also bodes well for the New Year, and it is indeed a joy to say.
At this time, the Lantern Festival was not as lively as it was later, and every household set off a firecracker, and few could set off fireworks.
However, although there are few of them, fireworks are scattered in the village. Zhang Shouguo and Wang Yingru carried Zhang Qing to the door to watch from afar, Zhang Qing looked at the direction of the fireworks and guessed that it was her future second aunt's house.
"Look at the fireworks, your eyes are brighter!" I don't know where Wang Yingru learned the theory, thinking that watching the fireworks set off on the day of the Lantern Festival can make the eyes brighter.
The temperature was even lower at night, worried about freezing Zhang Qing, and the family entered the house after a while.
Wang Yingru picked up the candle burning in front of the offering table and began to shine a light on every corner of the house, inside and out.
According to her, after using such a candle, there will be no insects in the house.
Of course, there is no scientific basis for this, and the bugs that should be born will still give birth.
It's just that Zhang Qing thinks that these customs and traditions that have been handed down are quite interesting, and they also increase the atmosphere and sense of ritual of the festival.
When Wang Yingru finished working on the kang, Zhang Qing was already drowsy.
Suddenly, I heard a noise outside.
"What's wrong?!" Zhang Qing heard Zhang Shouguo sit up suddenly and asked loudly.
