"You've done a great job, Mom." Xiao Qingge walked to the table, looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, swallowed his saliva, and spoke.

The baby in the stomach grows fast, Xiao Qingge's appetite is even better, smelling the aroma of the food and starting to eat, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal with the taste of the mother is the biggest delicious.

"It's all you like to eat, come on, come and sit down." Li Xiufen couldn't hide her joy on her face and replied with a smile.

"Uh-huh!" Xiao Qingge responded, and Ye Lingchen pulled out a stool for her from behind and sat down.

Xiao Qingzhe ran specifically and went to sit next to Li Xiufen on the opposite side, while Ye Lingchen pulled out the stool next to Xiao Qingge and sat down.

This is the first Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for a family of four, which is particularly meaningful.

Ye Lingchen took care of the old, young, and pregnant women in the family, and it was really not suitable to open wine, so he replaced the wine with juice, and asked the servants to fill the four of them with juice, holding the glass high, and celebrating the New Year together.

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

Everyone's face is filled with a happy smile, the new year, happy, happy, grateful.

After clinking glasses, they each drank the juice in their hands.

"Happy New Year, brother-in-law!"

After Li Xiufen and Xiao Qingge put down the water glass, Xiao Qingzhe filled himself with a drink again, looked at Ye Lingchen and shouted.

"Happy New Year, little one, grow up healthily, study hard, and be a person who will contribute to society in the future!" Ye Lingchen smiled and raised his glass.

He knew that Xiao Qingzhe was top-notch in all aspects of his extracurricular practice, and he would be extraordinary when he became an adult in the future.

"I will!" Xiao Qingzhe confidently agreed.

As the new brother-in-law, Ye Lingchen's most important New Year's red envelope was naturally prepared a long time ago.

He took it out of his pocket, a red envelope with a red auspicious pattern, and handed it to Xiao Qingzhe.

"Your New Year's money!"

In addition to having new clothes to wear and snacks to eat for the New Year, children can receive New Year's money, which is the most worthy of their happiness.

In an instant, I have my own little coffer, buy toys, buy game consoles, no books, buy snacks, everything is taken for granted, and I don't have to ask my parents for money anymore.

Xiao Qingzhe is naturally no exception.

looked at the New Year's money in front of him, forcibly suppressed the hands that were about to stretch out his arms and wanted to pick them up, turned his head to look at Li Xiufen, and asked for her opinion.

"Your brother-in-law gave it to you, take it!" Li Xiufen replied with a smile and nodded.

This is Ye Lingchen's heart as his brother-in-law, how can he refute it.

"Uh-huh!"

Xiao Qingzhe hurriedly stretched out his hand, took the thick red envelope, and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother-in-law!" ”

"You're welcome."

Xiao Qingzhe lowered his head and was about to open the red envelope, pinching it in his hand quite thickly, this should be the most New Year's money he has received since he grew up so much.

He couldn't wait to see how many there were so he could arrange what he could buy!

Xiao Qingge saw that he looked anxious, and kept smiling faintly.

"How can the New Year's money be missing my sister's share!" Xiao Qingge suddenly spoke.

Xiao Qingzhe's eyes lit up again, and he raised his head to look at her.

Since Xiao Qingge went to college, he has been working part-time by himself, and after he has the ability to earn living expenses and tuition, he will prepare New Year's money for Xiao Qingzhe every year.

The amount is not much, but the heart will never be less.

Xiao Qingge turned his head sideways and took out a red envelope in the pocket of his coat that he had put on the stool.

She has a round belly and a bulky body, and it is not very convenient to twist it over, so the careful Ye Lingchen specially pulled the pocket to her hand for her, and she could reach it with a slight lift next door.

Xiao Qingge took out the red envelope and thanked Ye Lingchen through his eyes.

"Sister also wishes you a happy new year, always happy!" Xiao Qingge handed the red envelope to Xiao Qingzhe and sent her blessings.

"Thank you, sister!" Xiao Qingzhe raised his hand to take the New Year's money, and continued to speak: "I also wish you happiness and happiness with your brother-in-law in the new year, and harmony and beauty, and love and love every year in the future!" ”

Xiao Qingzhe is a typical precocious, and he doesn't understand what happiness and love are.

Ye Lingchen heard this and felt particularly pleasant.

Won't he and Xiao Qingge have to be happy for a lifetime, and they will grow old!

The little guy hadn't finished speaking, and after happily putting the two red envelopes together, he said: "Next year, your baby is born, and I will be an adult, as his uncle, I will also give him New Year's money!" ”

Ye Lingchen and Xiao Qingge were stunned by Xiao Qingzhe's words.

What kind of logic is this?

As soon as their baby is born, Xiao Qingzhe will become an adult? Do you want to give your baby New Year's money?

What's the same thing?

However, he knew very well about his seniority, and knew that the baby would call him uncle in the future.

"What are you talking about?" Li Xiufen, who was stunned by her son, couldn't help but ask.

"Mom, didn't you say that? My sister's baby was born, I am an adult, and I have to take care of the baby as an uncle! ”

Xiao Qingzhe's words, Li Xiufen was powerless to refute.

Isn't that what she said?

At that time, it wasn't that this guy was too skinny, and mentioning it in passing made his personality a little more restrained and calm, after all, he was going to be an uncle.

At the time, it was just a persuasive joke.

But this kid remembers it so clearly, and now he specially takes it out to say it.

"Okay, Qingzhe, let's talk about next year's affairs next year, now hurry up and collect your New Year's money, eat, and the food will be cold later." Li Xiufen didn't continue to worry about this matter with the child, and shouted that he would move his chopsticks to eat.

"Okay then." Xiao Qingzhe agreed, then looked at Xiao Qingge and Ye Lingchen on the opposite side and said, "I will do what I say." He was referring specifically to New Year's money.

Xiao Qingge and Ye Lingchen were amused by him at the same time.

Before moving the chopsticks, Li Xiufen remembered that she hadn't given her New Year's money yet.

She put down her chopsticks again, lowered her head and rummaged through the pocket of her apron a few times, and took out the red envelope prepared in advance.

The number is three.

"Qingzhe, this is the New Year's money that my mother gave you." Li Xiufen took out one of them and handed it to Xiao Qingzhe and said.

The amount of money in it is not as much as that of Ye Lingchen and Xiao Qingge, but from childhood to adulthood, there has always been no less love.

"Thank you, Mom!" Xiao Qingzhe happily stretched out his hand to take it.

Then, her eyes looked at Ye Lingchen and Xiao Qingge on the other side of the table, and handed over the red envelope with both hands.

"Xiao Ye, Qingge, this is for you!"

"Mom?" Xiao Qingge was okay, but Ye Lingchen was particularly puzzled.

New Year's money, generally not for underage children?

"Thank you, Mom!" Xiao Qingge looked at his mother and accepted the red envelope with a smile.

Because as early as when she was able to support her life independently in college, Li Xiufen insisted on giving her and Xiao Qingzhe New Year's money every year.

Even if the family is in dire straits, these two most basic people will not be missing.

Even when Xiao Qingge interned at university, Li Xiufen would still give her New Year's money as usual.

In the eyes of parents, children will always be children.

"Take it, Night Moon."

Xiao Qingge saw that his mother was still holding her arm up, and opened her mouth to remind him.

Although Ye Lingchen was still a little puzzled, he also took the red envelope and thanked him: "Thank you, Mom." ”

"Hey, let's eat."

Ye Lingchen pinched the red envelope in his hand, this feeling was really too long.

In my memory, the picture of collecting the New Year's money as a child has become blurred.

And Li Xiufen reminded him again and again, and re-felt the warmth of home, the joy and happiness of the New Year.

Xiao Qingge saw that Ye Lingchen's expression was deep, and he specially stretched out a hand and put it on the back of his hand; "This is our family's tradition, and it's my mother's heart, put it away."

Ye Lingchen felt the warmth coming from the back of his hand, turned his hand to clasp her, his thin lips opened lightly, and he spit out a word: "Okay." ”

He specially put the red envelope carefully into the pocket of his clothes.

......

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is officially open!

Xiao Qingge and the others called a few servants who stayed in the villa to come over for dinner together, but they were all afraid of Ye Lingchen and did not dare to serve on the table.

Several people gathered around a small table and ate their own meals.

Laughter and laughter are non-stop in the villa.

It's even more lively outside.

Fireworks burst into the sky, illuminating the entire Nancheng night as if it were daytime.

The fireworks reflect the happiness of reunion on the dinner table in front of the window in every house.

The night of Chinese New Year's Eve is no longer silent and indifferent, it is warmth and love.

The usual busy road is silent and uninhabited......

Xiao Qingge was eating, and couldn't stop being attracted by the sound of fireworks in the air outside, which had lasted for half an hour, and while talking to her family, her eyes looked through the window from time to time, and glanced outside.

Who doesn't love this scene?

Xiao Qingge remembered the scene of celebrating the New Year in the alley before, and after eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he and his friends would meet to set off fireworks.

This year, I'm afraid there will be no chance.

"The fireworks outside are so beautiful!" Xiao Qingzhe also sighed.

Fortunately, the restaurant where they are sitting is next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the courtyard outside is even more empty without any shelter, and when you lift your head slightly, you can see the sky full of sparks.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Qingge could bear it, Xiao Qingzhe would definitely go out to watch the fireworks noisily.

"Sister, brother-in-law, can we go out and set off fireworks after dinner?" Xiao Qingzhe couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Ye Lingchen replied very cheerfully.

Xiao Qingge turned his head and looked at Ye Lingchen with surprised eyes.

"What's wrong?" Ye Lingchen asked.

"You got fireworks?"

"yes."

"I asked you last time I didn't."

"Last time was last time."

“......”

Someone!?

Last time was just yesterday?!!

Ye Lingchen opened his mouth to explain again, comforting Xiao Qingge's emotions: "I don't understand those things very well, you mentioned it yesterday, and I prepared it." ”

So that's it!

That's pretty much it.

Xiao Qingge's mood became happy again, and there were some small touches.

"Great! After eating, let's set off fireworks! Xiao Qingzhe jumped and raised his hands in cheer, still holding chopsticks in his hands.

"Slow down." Li Xiufen pulled down his clothes, made him sit down, and spoke in a doting tone.

This kid really can't do anything about him.
