Chapter 43: The Future Daughter-in-law

"You said Zhong Qing and Yi Jian, what are they doing now?" Mother Yi glanced at everyone curiously, with a smile in her eyes.

"What else can I do? What about building a snowman with the youngest daughter next door? Mother Zhong said lightly, and drew the cards in her hand casually.

Yi's mother hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "No, I just heard the little girl crying, and the two of them went to coax, and that picture looked like a warm family." ”

"What nonsense? That's someone else's daughter. Dad Yi interrupted her and threw a poker king on the table.

Father Zhong and Mother Zhong were stunned, and they also had an illusion in the morning, feeling that the two of them were too compatible, as if they were a destined pair.

Seeing that there was a score coming in, Father Zhong came out with a king without saying a word, and Mother Zhong in the back also hurriedly came out with a plum blossom ten, and in a few minutes, they scored a full score of eighty.

"You husband and wife are cheating, bullying us haven't played cards for a long time, haven't you?" Dad Yi angrily threw all the cards on the table.

"If you don't accept it, you will continue to fight if you lose." Dad Zhong shouted for a long time, he didn't play poker, he was busy with business every day, he didn't expect his luck to be so good.

Suddenly, Yi's mother gave Yi's father a look, Yi's father smiled and sent a cigarette to Zhong's father's hand, and said with a smile: "That in-law, there is something we can discuss, you see that the two of them are not small, and now they are together again, when we were young, we can set a baby kiss, or take advantage of Zhong Qing's internship in the second half of the year to give the marriage down." ”

Father Zhong glanced at Mother Zhong.

Mother Zhong didn't say a word, and the hand holding the card suddenly froze.

"I listen to the child." Father Zhong smiled, and Mother Zhong also smiled with satisfaction, yes, that's the answer.

"Okay, then I'll ask Zhong Qing's opinion when I go back!" Mother Yi smiled and continued to shuffle the cards.

Soon it was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and every family was busy cooking Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and some began to kill pigs in the morning until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, still washing this and that.

The sound of firecrackers came from the town one after another, which was a signal of reunion.

"Lao Yi, have you done a good job? Why don't you come to our house and eat! Daddy Zhong shouted loudly into the yard.

Mother Yi was a little embarrassed and said, "How can it be done, the lights at home haven't been lit yet, and I haven't incense the Bodhisattva yet, how can I go to your house?" Let's have a reunion dinner together tomorrow on the first day of the Lunar New Year! ”

Dad thought about it, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, people have not come back for a long time, I think I also want to add a little excitement to the empty room.

Later, I don't know who came up with the idea, but the two families sat in the courtyard behind the door, separated by a wall, clinking glasses and drinking from all over the world.

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, everyone was almost drunk, and they began to hang out.

There is a custom in the town that on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there must be a master in the family, and the guard is until 12 o'clock in the morning, when a round firecracker with a diameter of about 50 centimeters is fired, which means that the next year will be rich.

"Come on, Zhong Qing, this is the red envelope that Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi prepared for you, you must accept it!" Mother Yi came to Zhong Qing's house with a smile and stuffed two big red envelopes into Zhong Qing's hands.

Zhong Qing stood in place in embarrassment, looking at her parents without knowing what to do.

"Collect! What are you doing in a daze? If you don't accept it, you don't see your aunt as your future mother-in-law. As soon as this sentence came out, Zhong Qing's ears instantly turned red, and he lowered his head shyly, could this be the legendary meeting gift, looking so thick, it should be thousands or tens of thousands.

"Yan Fang, you're really too polite, aren't you? I didn't even prepare New Year's red envelopes for my two children. Mother Zhong smiled embarrassedly, this red envelope is relatively hot, and it is not impossible to accept it.

It's okay to say it's settled, but I'm afraid of what if.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can take it if you want." Father Zhong smiled happily, today is a good day for the New Year, and the children should be happy.

Zhong Qing pursed her lips, what Aunt Yi meant by this sentence was that she was his daughter-in-law, and her parents also acquiesced.

Although they have been married for a long time, they are children after all.

"Take it!" Yi Jian didn't know when he came to Zhong Qing's house, and nodded at her.

Zhong Qing bit her lower lip, glanced at her parents again apprehensively, slowly stretched out her hand, and taking advantage of the situation, Mother Yi quickly stuffed the two red envelopes into Zhong Qing's hands.

Pressing the New Year money, pressing the New Year money, only the money issued in the Chinese New Year's Eve is called the New Year money. Of course, this is only a tradition between relatives who live closer or closer.

At night, Zhong Qing and Yi Jian couldn't sleep, so the two of them walked around the square, and after a while, they felt too cold, Yi Jian draped his scarf around Zhong Qing's neck, and deliberately stretched it on her head, making her look like a country aunt.

"I can't breathe anymore." Zhong Qing looked at him complainingly, and took off the scarf on his head dissatisfied.

The scarf was thick, and it took a while to cover her neck.

Yi Jian smiled, and continued to put the scarf on her head mischievously, back and forth, the two of them chased each other, and their bodies naturally became hot.

"When we get old, let's retire here and build a pavilion like a farm compound in our backyard." Yi Jian looked at her with a smile, and the two of them interlocked their fingers.

Zhong Qing was very moved, it turned out that he still remembered what he had said, some promises, once promised, it might be a lifetime.

"I'm going to keep some chickens and ducks, as well as cats and dogs in the yard, and then plant vegetables and some flowers on the roof." Zhong Qing began to play with her imagination.

"Nope." Yi Jian looked at her firmly.

Zhong Qing lowered her head and smiled, thinking, if you make a mess of the scarf on my head, I will also play a good trick on you.

Yi Jian doesn't like to be lively, and he doesn't like to make the house very dirty, he has a serious cleanliness habit, and it can even be said that he is sick.

When he was a child, Zhong Qing accidentally soiled a padded jacket with a pen, which was only the size of sesame seeds, but he never wore it again.

"You don't count." Zhong Qing smiled at him.

Yi Jian stood in place, his face dark, as if someone owed him five million.

"Come on, I promise to clean up the house, you better smile, it's the New Year, your appearance is weird and panicked." Zhong Qing stood on tiptoe, stretched out two big paws, and tugged at his mouth.

Suddenly he laughed out loud, and his mouth was pulled wide, looking like a monster on TV.

"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny? Yi Jian stretched out his claws and scratched at her hair.

Soon, Zhong Qing's hair was a mess, like a scarecrow.

She straightened her hair with some distress, and had to lift her steps to keep up with Yi Jian's pace, Yi Jian's legs were very long, and she often had to take two steps to keep up with him when he took one step.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Zhong Qing and Yi Jian went to each other's house to pay their respects, and Yi Meina left the town in a hurry after the Chinese New Year's Eve.

I heard that her work had won an award, and I was about to go back to another workshop.

Since the two families have no relatives to deal with, there are not many relatives to leave except for some acquaintances in the town.

During the fifteen days after the New Year, Zhong Qing would sometimes take Yi Jian out for a walk and attend a party, sometimes the two of them would sit in the room to watch TV dramas, and more often they would sit in the hall and play games.

They accommodate each other for each other, and the two of them get along quite happily.

On the 15th Lantern Festival, the town is lively again, and lanterns are hung everywhere.

I fell in love with a rabbit, and the lantern was colorful and very beautiful.

"Buy me one!" Zhong Qing shook his easy-to-see arm like a child.

Yi Jian smiled and said in a deep voice, "Little friend, how old are you this year?" ”

Zhong Qing lowered her head, pretended to stir her fingers with her hands, and said softly, "Hello uncle, I just turned three years old this year. ”

Yi Jian pinched her chubby little face, full of tender ridicule: "Childish." ”

Before you know it, the two of you start to say the same thing, maybe that's the meaning of getting along.

"Zhong Qing, your boyfriend is so handsome, very caring, so spoiled by you. When I was younger, I thought you would be with the one next door, but I didn't expect it. The young man who sold the lanterns smiled awkwardly, and wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that Yi Jian was present, he was inconvenient to say more, and he was still holding a rabbit lantern in his hand.

Zhong Qing grabbed Yi Jian's hand, put it in front of the young man generously, and said righteously: "He is the one next door." ”

In an instant, the young man froze in place.

The two of them didn't even buy the lanterns, so they rushed to the bridge.

The bridge is very lively, and it is full of all kinds of people watching boating, in fact, it is said that it is to see the flower boat, but in fact, it is to see the lanterns on it.

I heard that there are a lot of lanterns this year, and when the boat rows to the bridge, a few lanterns will be thrown on the bridge, and those who are destined to pick it up will have a good marriage next year.

Although Zhong Qing didn't believe this, as a girl, she still wanted to take a look, so she pulled Yi to see it.

When she was standing on the bridge, she repeatedly told him: "When others throw lanterns, you must catch them." ”

Yi Jian nodded, he understood the girl's mood.

She likes to be crazy, she wants to be crazy, so he'll go crazy with her!

The boat was very large, and it was full of all kinds of lanterns, and there were many things that were not famous to Yi Jian and Zhong Qing, and the bottom row on the left side of the boat was hung with plants, and on the top were animals, and on the right were birds and animals, and the seats in the middle of the boat were filled with several men in ancient costumes, and on the deck stood seven or eight girls singing and dancing.

Zhong Qing especially likes a parrot, that look is as vivid as the real thing, I don't know whose skillful hand it is?

But the flow of people was too large, Zhong Qing was almost squeezed under the bridge, but fortunately, Yi Jian kept supporting her, and the lantern naturally did not grab it.
