Chapter 17: Chinese New Year (1)
After a few days at home, the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, Li Qingqing's daily life is like a piglet, eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating while reading books when she can't sleep, eating while watching TV, and eating while checking information.
Ms. Shen Na couldn't stand it anymore, so Li Qingqing had one more arrangement for her day, that is, to exercise with Ms. Shen Na.
There is a special exercise space in the back garden of the house, which is specially built by Mr. Li Yang for Ms. Shen Na.
Stinky daddy, what do you mean? You're actually applauding there, and you're drinking tea while watching your mom me! I don't like you anymore!
"Stop, stop! Wait a minute, Mother, I really can't do it, let me go! Li Qingqing looked at Ms. Shen Na softly, hugged Ms. Shen Na's legs and begged to let go.
Ms. Shen Na rubbed her wrists, her words were disgusted, and she looked down at her daughter, who was raising more and more flesh at home, "Li Qingqing, didn't you continue to exercise at school?" You've regressed more than a star and a half at this level, and I now suspect that you had any moisture in your game. ”
Li Qingqing was not happy, let go of her hand and poured it directly onto the mat, "Mother, do you think I am as idle as you?" I'm busy at school, okay? Besides, there were only about 100 people participating in the youth group of City A, and not many were professional players. If you don't believe me, you have to believe in yourself, right? ”
"I think you're just lazy, when you were asked to learn martial arts, not only to strengthen your body, but also to allow you to better protect yourself, you look at your recent growth! I have to practice every day this holiday, protests are not allowed, and I spent time sparring you and I didn't say anything! Shen Na took the handkerchief handed over by Li Yang, and threw it on Li Qingqing's head without any force.
Ms. Shen Na, is the new year coming, am I not your little padded jacket, little cutie?
Mr. Li Yang, I seriously suspect that my mother has vented her dissatisfaction with you on me, and I want to protest! I'm going to rebel!
Sitting up, Mr. Li Yang was wiping Ms. Shen Na's sweat and handing water diligently, and there was no baby daughter like her in his eyes?! Li Qingqing was stimulated, turned over, rushed over, and drank the water that her father was holding in her hand before Ms. Shen Na had time to drink.
Li Qingqing put the handkerchief on her shoulder very neatly, didn't say anything, gave Mr. Li Yang a look you know, and left a chic figure for his parents.
Shen Na and Li Yang glanced at each other, "Husband, if you want to persuade me, then you don't have to open your mouth, and you don't have to go back to the bedroom to sleep tonight, the air conditioning in the study is still quite warm." ”
Mr. Li Yang wanted to say his wife, but if he didn't forget it, he swallowed it hard when it came to his mouth, and his mouth changed, "Wife, I think you are doing something very right, how can I persuade you?" I will only give my full support. After saying this, he didn't forget to pour a glass of water for Ms. Shen Na again.
Daughter, it's not that my father doesn't help you, it's just that in our family, your mother is the boss at home, and for my own welfare and happiness, I have to obey the arrangement.
Li Qingqing accepted her fate, such a wife and slave father, the queen's mother, what else could she do? Life doesn't have to be the same.
Li Yang's parents are both well-known architects in China, but they lost their lives in an unexpected engineering accident, at that time Li Yang and Shen Na were not married, so Li Qingqing only saw photos of her grandparents, and most of them went to her grandparents' house every Chinese New Year.
But this year, because Li Qingqing's grandparents made an appointment with a few old friends to go to City B on Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, and did not let their children accompany them, saying that they were going to have a new year of tourism, their parents were strong and healthy, and they had always had their own opinions, Shen Yun and Shen Na could only take their husbands and children to their parents in advance to pay their early respects, and by the way, they told them a lot, not accompanied by their parents, and their children will always be a little worried.
Although they both live in City A, Shen Na and Shen Yun often go home to visit their parents, but the Chinese New Year is a traditional festival for Chinese, even if parents want to go out, some customs and habits still cannot be abolished, and it is necessary to visit the elders in the family.
"Grandparents, I'm back!" Li Qingqing jumped into the house, hugging her grandparents and grandmother.
"Grandparents, I'm here!" Li Qingqing and Li Yunhao entered the house with their front and back feet, and the parents had made an appointment to come together, but they just came by their own car.
Li Yunhao and Li Qingqing's grandparents live in the middle of the distance between the center of City A and the suburbs, and it is very convenient to buy vegetables and everything, it is an old courtyard house, and the two old people are unwilling to move away, nor do they want to live with their children, they think that young people should have their own lives, and the old couple should also have their own lives.
"Coming back? Ouch, we Qingqing and Haohao are really getting longer and more beautiful, and the longer and more handsome, come into the house. The grandmother took one in one hand and led it into the house, and the adults followed the child.
Grandfather Shen Changfeng is an old Chinese medicine doctor who is idle at home, and grandmother He Shuang is a teacher who has been retired for many years, living a comfortable and colorful life in this small courtyard.
Don't envy mandarin ducks, don't envy immortals, hold hands and spend this life. The children are all married, and there are lovely grandchildren, this life can be regarded as complete.
In the yard, there are two swings made by Li Qingqing's grandfather Shen Changfeng, as well as a grape trellis built by herself and a loquat tree planted on the side of the wall.
Li Qingqing and Li Yunhao obediently greeted the elders, and they made a fuss in the courtyard, and the adults accompanied their grandparents, after all, the evening was their home field.
"Li Yunhao, look, the loquat is bearing fruit!" Li Qingqing pointed to the loquat tree and smiled like a child.
When she ate loquat, she took the nucleus and let her grandparents plant it, but she didn't expect it to be really planted, and she saw it sprout and grow, growing from a slender tree to a big tree with lush branches and leaves, flowers and fruits, although her grandfather pruned it all year round, but it also grew more than two meters tall.
Li Qingqing suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she shook her head and read the textbook "Xiang Zhi Xuan Zhi" in the textbook "There is a loquat tree in the garden, and my wife planted it in the year of her death, and now it is like a cover", because her own loquat tree was planted by her grandparents together, they all slept well and ate well, and her grandparents will be with Meimei for a lifetime, unlike Mr. Gui Youguang, who can only see things and think about people.
"Isn't this nonsense? It's been flowering and bearing fruit for a long time, and you've been eating its children and grandchildren for so many years, why do you look surprised? Li Yunhao sat on the recliner in the courtyard, with a leisurely attitude, interrupting the memories and imaginary pictures in Li Qingqing's mind.
"Li Yunhao, can you have a little artistic conception? I haven't missed it so much in previous years, and I haven't looked at it so carefully, don't you think that now basking in the warm winter sun, looking at it, there is a kind of poetic beauty, tranquil beauty? Li Qingqing waved her little hand, looking intoxicated.
Li Yunhao glanced at Li Qingqing, who estimated that his brain nerves were active again, took a sip of the warm water on the stool, and sneered, "Li Qingqing, do you have an intention?" I think you just want to eat loquats, and every time you stand under the tree and look at the loquat saliva dripping on the ground, it has nothing to do with poetry and tranquility. ”
Li Qingqing couldn't laugh anymore, she couldn't revel anymore, she rushed to Li Yunhao, and kicked Li Yunhao's calf with the instep of her foot, "Let you owe it, let you scold me." ”
Li Yunhao screamed, rubbed his calves, looked at Li Qingqing, who had already run into the house, and couldn't laugh anymore, hiss, he didn't respect the old and love the young, he was ruthless!
The house was full of harmony, grandfather Shen Changfeng was sitting on the sofa on the ground, the two daughters and sons-in-law accompanied their old women and sons to talk about the shortcomings of the family, and the little granddaughter ran in, lying beside her, "Grandpa, this year's loquat looks really good, remember to leave me a little when the time comes!" ”
"Haha, you little delicious mouth, when did your grandfather not keep it for you?" Shen Changfeng blew Li Qingqing's little nose with a look of kindness.
In the evening, Li Qingqing and Li Yunhao said auspicious words, begged for big red envelopes, and smiled like an adult version of a doll in a New Year's painting, cute and well-behaved.
Outside the courtyard, there seems to be children playing with fireworks and playing, and there are gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky, which is the scene of the New Year!
Time is long, the new year is coming again, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the lights of thousands of homes are reunited.
