Chapter 142: Countdown

"Grandma?" Shangguan Zi was puzzled, her grandmother would not usually ask such a rude question.

Qin Yan and Shangguan Yu were also shocked, but Shangguan Chong had a guess.

Although Wei Churan felt strange, she still replied, "No, Wei Churan is the name my grandfather gave me, and I also have a name named Jerry Jade." ”

Old Madam Shangguan's pupils shrank when she heard this, and she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, it was really, really good.

"Ah Ran, you still have such a nice name." Shangguan Ziwei's dark eyes were shining.

But Shangguan Chong and Shangguan Yu were surprised when they heard her surname.

The old lady of Shangguan had already collected her thoughts, "Ah Zi, take them to shop first, and I'll go back to the room to change my clothes and come down to make dumplings." ”

"Okay." Even if Shangguan Zi had any doubts, he couldn't ask them at this time.

Old Madam Shangguan's gentle eyes stared at the back of Wei Churan leaving.

"Mom, restrain yourself, so as not to frighten people."

"Your wings have grown stiff, and you still have to worry about me." Old Madam Shangguan glared at her son dissatisfied.

Qin Yan and Shangguan Yu on the side were already surprised, but they were curious.

"Grandma, you seem to be very different from Ah Ran." Shangguan Yu's warm face couldn't hide his curiosity.

Although his grandmother looked very easy-going, she would not pay so much attention to a junior who had only met two or three times, and this was the first time.

Old Madam Shangguan didn't answer, got up and went back to the room, and Qin Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Shangguan Yu had no choice but to look at his father and wait for an answer.

But Shangguan Chong shrugged his shoulders and said that he had nothing to say.

"Dad, you're really unkind."

Shangguan Chong glared at him, "Boy, the wings have grown stiff, and they have taught me a lesson." ”

"Dad, I'm learning from you." Shangguan Yu teased.

Coming to the back garden of Shangguan's house, Wei Linlin had never seen such a style of garden, with ancient trees, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and red lanterns hanging on the beams of the corridors leading to the stone paths.

"Wow, that's beautiful."

The corners of Wei Churan's mouth curved slightly in agreement, and Xu Zhiling's cold eyes flashed with warmth.

Shangguan Zi said, "This was left over a long time ago, and my grandmother would find professionals to come over every year to repair it. ”

Wei Churan felt that the old lady's attitude towards her was too enthusiastic, but she didn't ask Shangguan Zi, and she just didn't know her reaction just now.

When Mrs. Shangguan returned to the room, she asked her daughter-in-law to go first, took out a wooden box with patterns from the safe, opened it, and took out a yellowed photo from the album.

There are three young people in the photo.

Her trembling wrinkled hand fell on the face of the young man on the left, her eyes were hot, and she murmured softly, "Qingyang, this is fate." ”

After walking around and returning to the restaurant, Mrs. Shangguan and Qin Yan were already making dumplings, Wei Linlin was most curious about these things she didn't know, dumplings were eaten a lot, but she didn't know how to make them, and her big round eyes were full of curiosity.

Even Xu Zhiling was interested, but Wei Churan definitely didn't.

The old lady of Shangguan asked, "Do you want to learn?" ”

"Yes." Wei Linlin said loudly.

"Then go wash your hands, I'll teach you."

Wei Churan also went to wash her hands, but she was not interested, and Shangguan Zi saw it, "Ah Ran, don't you want to learn?" ”

Before Wei Churan could answer, Wei Linlin preemptively said, "Mommy is a kitchen killer, and she has been learning to pick vegetables for a long time, and she is not as smart as me." ”

"Haha, Ah Ran, it turns out that you are worse than me." Shangguan Zi laughed out loud, she didn't know how to cook, and her mother didn't know how many times she sighed.

Wei Churan didn't care either, and looked at her daughter, "I really don't have any face at all." ”

"Mommy, I'm here for everyone's good, and for your face."

Wei Churan followed to learn to pack a few, but soon gave up, because those dumplings were either exploded or too ugly, and they looked really miserable.

It made everyone laugh.

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere of the Shangguan family, the Jin family is much colder, although there are many people, but everyone does not speak, does their own thing, and waits for dinner to leave, but it is already the best result, better than quarreling.

Old Man Jin and Jin Aochen were playing chess on the side, Jin Jiayuan and Jin Jianing were watching from the side, and Jin Jiasheng's family was sitting on the side.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Jin was busy with Gao Jiawen's mother and daughter and Zhang Zisha's mother and daughter, and most of the maids were on vacation.

Yang Xue used to pretend to help, but this year, her daughter was kicked out of the country and couldn't come back for the holidays, so she was full of anger.

After playing a game of chess, Jin Aochen took out his mobile phone to send a message to Wei Churan, he knew that they had gone to Shangguan's house for the holiday, but he was still not at ease.

The message returned in seconds, and Wei Churan sent a photo, it was her and Wei Linlin, both of them had flour on their faces, but they were very happy.

Jin Aochen looked at the photo, a warm current flowed in his heart, and the whole person was surrounded by warmth, and a smile appeared on his handsome and warm but expressionless face, which was very shallow, but very real, a smile that rose from patience.

The old man Jin on the opposite side saw it, his pupils were shocked, he hadn't seen his grandson have such a warm smile for a long time, but he could guess the reason, and his sharp and vicissitudes of life flashed.

Jin Jiayuan next to him also saw it, and his heart was also warm.

Jin Aowen, who was on the sofa in the distance opposite, also noticed that to be precise, he had always kept Jin Aochen, and when he saw this, there was a murderous aura in his eyes.

After eating dinner quietly, Old Man Jin sat for a while and then went back to his room to rest, and when he counted down to zero, the others also went back to their own yards.

Jin Aochen came to the back garden, dozens of lights lit the back garden as if it were daytime, looking at these flowers, Jin Aochen thought that his mother was accompanying him.

On Chinese New Year's Eve when I was a child, after dinner, the family of three would sit here and look at the flowers, look at the stars and the moonlight.

And now there is no such simple thing anymore.

I don't know how long I stood before Jin Aochen left, and Jin Jiayuan, who was hiding on the side, appeared, and he was also fantasizing that the three of them were still together for Chinese New Year's Eve, and his eyes couldn't control the heat, and pain appeared.

In fact, Jin Aochen had already found out about him, but he didn't say it, he didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to even puncture this thought.

Wei Churan and the others left after having dinner at Shangguan's house, and they also came to Beishi.

So they didn't go back to Jin Aochen's house, but went to the house they rented for Kill Scar before, which was also quite big, with four bedrooms and two living rooms, and just four people came, Kill Scar, Thunder, Butterfly Wing, and Qianrui.

After ordering a lot of takeout, Wei Churan said with a smile, "Today is the Spring Festival in Huaguo, since we are also in Huaguo, it should be the festival." ”

After they were all full, Xu Zhiling spoke, "Ah Ran, the people who burned the shop found it..."

But before she finished speaking, Wei Churan interrupted, "Today is a good day, don't talk about these things yet." ”

Xu Zhiling still didn't say anything more.

Qianrui and Thunder are both quiet people, and with the lively Wei Linlin, several people can have a lot of fun playing cards.

It wasn't until the countdown to nearly zero that Jin Aochen called, and Wei Churan walked to the balcony, "Mr. Jin, you are very punctual." ”

Jin Aochen over there stood outside the ancestral hall behind the main house, and the Jin family wanted to offer incense after the countdown.

Wei Churan looked at her daughter who was playing with them, "Baby, count down, your Uncle Jin is looking for you." ”

"Here we are." Wei Linlin immediately got up and ran out.

Wei Churan turned on the speakerphone, and the three of them began to count down together, "Ten, nine... One, Happy New Year. ”

At the same time, brilliant fireworks were lit in the sky over Beishi, and every house resounded with joy.

Several people who had not passed the Spring Festival also said to each other in Z Mandarin, "Happy New Year." ”

Jin Aochen quickly hung up the phone, he was going to incense.

But it's enough for Wei Churan's mother and daughter.

Soon Wei Churan and Xu Zhiling's mobile phones received New Year's wishes, including Wen Shiyu, Shangguan Zi, Zheng Wenlan, and Long Dayuan and others, as well as New Year's red envelopes.

Wei Churan and Xu Zhiling both had it, Wei Linlin's eyes were red when she looked at it, and forced several of them to download the software and send it to Wei Churan's mobile phone again, so that she could receive the red envelope.

Because they went back to rest very late, Wei Churan and Wei Linlin both slept until three o'clock in the morning, and Xu Zhiling woke up early as usual.

The sun was rising, and Jin Aochen gave Old Man Jin a New Year's greeting and a meal before preparing to leave.

But Jin Jiayuan stopped him and handed him a red envelope, very nervous, Jin Aochen glanced at his father and took it.

Jin Jiayuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out two more red envelopes, "You go to see Miss Wei and Xiao Lin, help me give them to them." ”

Jin Aochen also took it, and at this time, Jin Jie, who was wearing a light red sweater dress, rushed over, and saw that her brother was still breathing a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I caught up, brother, I also want to find Xiao Lin." ”

She was her first best friend.

"Let's go."

Jin Jie raised a light smile and waved at Jin Jiayuan, "Dad, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."

Looking at the backs of his children, Jin Jiayuan felt very satisfied, and the determination in his eyes deepened.

Gao Jiawen, who was not far away, looked at Jin Jiayuan's expression and felt a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange, he felt that he was quite strange for a while.

Jin Aochen's brother and sister came to his house and were shocked to see Hong Tongtong, but it was very festive, in line with the current atmosphere, and they only saw Xu Zhiling when they went in.

"Not awake yet." Xu Zhiling said.

Jin Jie saw Xu Zhiling wearing an apron, "Sister Ling, can I go in and help?" ”

"Yes." Xu Zhiling also has a good impression of the delicate and sensible Jin Jie, a big reason is because Wei Linlin likes to play with her.

Jin Aochen went upstairs, and as soon as he arrived on the third floor, he saw Wei Linlin yawning, rubbing his eyes, and suddenly sobered up when he saw Jin Aochen, "Uncle Jin, by the way, grandma said that she would say some auspicious blessings today, I wish Uncle Jin good health, more and more handsome, marry my mommy as soon as possible, and then bring a red envelope." ”

After speaking, a pair of small hands spread out towards Jin Aochen, with a smile on his face.

Jin Aochen squatted down, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "Only married people will have red envelopes." ”

"Ah, that's right." The smile on Wei Linlin's little face suddenly withered.

"But I still prepared it for Xiao Lin." Jin Aochen got two big red envelopes from the inner pocket of his coat, "One is mine, and the other is for you by Grandpa Jin." ”

After speaking, put it on the little hand that has not been taken back.
