Chapter 150: Spring Festival
When Li Ziqiang was busy in the kitchen, his mobile phone in the living room rang.
A white-haired old man stood up with a little difficulty and shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "Ziqiang, your phone is ringing!" ”
"Dad, it's not a phone call, it's a WeChat video. It must be Qingqing calling, you can talk to her! Li Ziqiang was in the kitchen, and the roar of the range hood forced him to raise his voice to speak, the same as shouting.
The old man put on reading glasses, lowered his head and tapped on the screen, and opened the WeChat video call.
Soon Li Qingqing's bright smiling face appeared on the mobile phone screen.
"Grandpa!" After seeing the old man, her crisp voice popped out through the phone screen.
"Eh! It's Qingqing! The old man laughed.
His wife next to him put down the mobile phone she was holding in her hand and came up: "Let me see Qingqing." ”
"Grandma!" Li Qingqing on the mobile phone screen waved his hand at the camera.
"Qingqing is good...... "Grandma squinted her eyes at her granddaughter on the screen, "Well, it seems to have sunburned." Didn't that mean you were going to wear sunscreen? ”
"I have a wipe, and it's not darker, grandma, this is called wheat color, wheat color represents healthy ......" Li Qingqing said coquettishly.
Seeing her granddaughter like this, her grandmother couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
"Grandparents and grandparents, you are in good health!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry about it. It's Qingqing, you're outside, you should pay attention to safety. I read the news that Europe is not very peaceful...... "Grandpa said.
The grandmother next to her glared at her husband, who said this: "Can you speak?" For the New Year, say something nice! ”
The white-haired old man hurriedly waved his hand in front of his mouth, making a fan: "Okay, good, I'll talk nonsense......"
"It's all right, Grandma. I'm fine here, my teammates and coaches take good care of me. And in addition to training, we are also competing, and the training is also in the training bases of those professional clubs, and we usually don't go out, but it's safe......" Li Qingqing smiled and relieved his grandfather.
"Alas, I don't let people come back for the New Year, so I go out to do some training...... Not to mention that you studied in Dongchuan before, since you went to Shanhai to play football, I haven't seen you for almost a year, and I still want to see you in the New Year......" Grandma said babbling with her mobile phone.
And Li Qingqing on the screen always kept smiling, and did not interrupt her grandmother's words, letting her tell her about her longing for her granddaughter.
“…… Although you are not around, you still have a lot of money this year. Your grandfather and I will only be able to send you red envelopes on WeChat, and you can collect them yourself......"
"Okay grandma, happy New Year!" Li Qingqing hurriedly clasped his hands and arched his hands in front of the front camera of his mobile phone.
Then she arched her hand to her grandfather who came over: "Grandpa, Happy New Year!" You must take care of your health, and I will come back to see you next year when I celebrate the New Year! ”
"Okay, good ......" The two old men were nodding in response to their granddaughter, and their son-in-law Li Ziqiang had already walked in with a plate of bean curd fat sausages.
After putting the dishes on the table, the father-in-law handed him the mobile phone: "You and Qingqing can say a few words, I'll go to the kitchen ......"
"I'll just come, Dad."
"Just take a steamed fish from the steamer, I still have no problem." The father-in-law ignored him, put the phone directly on the table, and then walked towards the kitchen with his hands behind his back.
Li Ziqiang was helpless, so he could only reach out and wipe it twice on his apron, then picked up his mobile phone and smiled at his daughter on the screen: "Today's New Year, how are the teams going to spend it?" ”
"It was said that after coming back from training in the afternoon, the team would organize everyone to make dumplings together. There are also reporters who want to interview. Li Qingqing said with a smile.
"We are going to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner soon, and we have to watch the Spring Festival Gala." Li Ziqiang switched the camera to the rear, and then showed Li Qingqing the sumptuous dishes on the table, and the TV hanging on the wall next to him was also playing the Spring Festival special program "Year after Year", Li Qingqing could even faintly hear the BGM music she was familiar with.
"Wow, Dad, you do this, how can I eat dumplings at night?"
"Ah, dumplings. Yes, we will cook the dumplings when we watch the Spring Festival Gala later. Li Ziqiang didn't seem to hear his daughter's complaints, which pot was not opened.
When he thought of his daughter's black-hearted little padded jacket, he turned his elbow out early, so he intended to "clean up" his daughter. Of course, he didn't dare to really do anything to his daughter, so he could only tease her in this regard.
"Grandma!" Li Qingqing suddenly shouted loudly in his mobile phone.
"Oh, what's the matter with Qingqing?" My grandmother, who was swiping her phone, came over.
"Grandma, Dad, he bullied me, just let me see what you eat, and deliberately angry with me!" Li Qingqing sued in the air.
Without waiting for his mother-in-law to make any moves, Li Ziqiang immediately admitted: "Just kidding...... Can't afford to make jokes? When you come back, I'll make you a table. ”
Grandma also smiled and played a round: "Qingqing, don't scare your father, he has worked hard all day today, just to come to celebrate the New Year with me and your grandfather......"
At this moment, my grandfather's voice came from the side: "Be careful, it's hot......"
It turned out to be a steamed fish tray and walked out of the kitchen.
Li Ziqiang handed his mobile phone to his mother-in-law, and rearranged the dishes on the table to make room for his father-in-law to put steamed fish.
And the grandmother took a picture of this scene to Li Qingqing with her mobile phone, and then she came to the picture and waved to her granddaughter: "There are fish every year, Qingqing!" ”
"There are fish every year, grandma!"
Li Qingqing, who was thousands of miles away, looked at his grandfather and father who were busy in his mobile phone, as well as his grandmother who waved at him, and smiled happily.

After ending the video call with Li Qingqing, Li Ziqiang accompanied the two old men to their seats, he first poured a glass of wine for his father-in-law, then poured a glass of juice for his mother-in-law, and finally poured himself wine.
After putting the wine bottle back, he picked up his wine glass and said to the two old men: "Dad, Mom, I can't come to see you often in another year, you must take care of your health......
"Sit down, sit down." His father-in-law waved at him and motioned for him to sit down. "Knowing that you are busy with work, you don't have to worry about us, your mother and I are used to it. We take care of ourselves. It's your parents...... Let's take Qingqing back there for the New Year next year. ”
Li Ziqiang shook his head and said very firmly: "My parents know it, they also understand, just video with them for a while, and I'll go back tomorrow." Today is definitely with you for the New Year! ”
Seeing this, the father-in-law sighed: "It's really hard for you......"
The mother-in-law snorted beside her: "Don't talk about this for the New Year." ”
Then he picked up his juice and said to Li Ziqiang: "I wish you success in your career in the new year and lead Dongchuan Middle School to win the championship!" ”
With that, she took a big sip of juice.
The father-in-law also took a small shot glass and drank half a glass.
"Feel free to ......"
But Li Ziqiang still poured the liquor in the cup into his throat in one gulp under the persuasion of their two elders.
When he was grinning with his spicy teeth, the sound of celebratory music came from the TV, the lights flashed on the gorgeous stage, and the Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Ox kicked off.
In the small living room, Hu Lai picked up the cup with the drink and said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, Happy Chinese New Year!" ”
"Happy Chinese New Year, son!"
"Happy Chinese New Year, study hard......"
"Tsk, Lixin, didn't you say that you don't mention learning?"
"Ahem......"
At this moment, countless people in countless families in the land of Shenzhou raised the cups in their hands.
Singing is playing on TV, and the tables are staggered.
Outside the window, bright fireworks rose and exploded in the night sky.
Bang - smack!
The sound of fireworks bursting was drowned out in the laughter of thousands of households.
