Chapter 104: Chinese New Year's Eve

What not to worry about?

Chen Youyi thought back and forth in her heart, and couldn't stop thinking about this question, but Qin Ziheng was silent again, and then it was quiet, and he didn't make any more sounds, as if he was really asleep.

His breathing was so soft that sometimes, Chen Youyi almost thought that this person had melted into the darkness and did not exist.

After thinking about it for a while, I thought I was going to lose sleep tonight, but in fact, after a while, Chen Youyi fell asleep.

The good routine of going to bed early and waking up early on time has allowed her to develop a fixed biological clock, and she will be uncontrollably sleepy when the time comes.

When I woke up, it was already dawn and the person beside me was gone. Chen Youyi sat up with her arms propped up, still muttering a little in her heart.

It would be troublesome for this matter to drag on any longer, she was willing to wait, and the Qin family didn't seem to be willing to waste any more time. Mu Xiulian's attitude is very clear, that is, what kind of mind Qin Ziheng is in, which makes her unpredictable.

She sighed in her heart, planning to put this matter on her itinerary and find a day to talk openly and honestly with Qin Ziheng.

With an idea in his heart, he settled down a little, Chen Youyi got up from the bed, it was cold and biting outside the quilt, and as soon as he finished dressing, the little heat brought out of the quilt was dispelled.

"You're awake." Qin Ziheng walked in from outside and said, "It's just right, the stove is up, the water is hot, come and wash." ”

"Thank you." Chen Youyi followed and walked out, most of the men in Da Chen Guo have some concepts of male superiority and inferiority, thinking that men should not do housework, and even think that men will be unlucky if they do housework that is suitable for women.

And this has never appeared in Qin Ziheng, maybe it is the long career in the army, he has developed the habit of doing everything by himself, maybe it is earlier, he matured early in poverty, in short, he has not been contaminated with the bad habits of secular men at all.

Whenever she saw Qin Ziheng like this, Chen Youyi's heart warmed. Even in modern times, such a man is a minority of high quality, which makes people reluctant to let go.

After washing, Chen Youyi also helped cook breakfast together, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, to sacrifice the ancestors, but also to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, as usual most of the day has to be busy in the kitchen, even breakfast is also varied, not ambiguous at all.

When Mu Xiulian came out, the hot breakfast was warm on the stove, waiting for her to eat. In order to wait for them, Qin Ziheng and Chen Youyi didn't eat first, and sat on the side chatting from all over the world.

Mu Xiulian smiled with satisfaction, the family was harmonious, and she was satisfied.

"Let's eat first, the little lazy pig is still nested in the quilt and refuses to get up, let him lie down for a while." Mu Xiulian greeted the two: "You are really, why do you have to wait, eat first when you are hungry." ”

Chen Youyi gave Mu Xiulian a bowl of porridge and said with a smile: "We have just gotten up, you are better to come early than to come by chance." Qin Huai doesn't care about him, he usually goes to school earlier than anyone else, and it is rare to be lazy for a few days a year, let him relax during the New Year. ”

It was rare for the three of them to get together for a reunion dinner, the atmosphere was good, and after a while, Qin Huai also got up, he was young, his work and rest were very regular, and he had developed good habits.

On this day, they were busy at home, and there were no neighbors to visit the door, and after eating breakfast, the family began to prepare for the noon sacrifice.

There are not so many rules for small households, but this set of eight meat and eight vegetarian offerings, as well as all kinds of paper money burned to the ancestors, are busy enough for half a day.

"Please ancestors bless the family with all the best and peace." Mu Xiulian knelt on the ground, chanting endlessly, and prayed to the ancestors: "Bless Ziheng's daughter-in-law to give birth to a fat doll as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves for the Qin family." ”

Although the voice was not loud, it was not small, and everyone present could hear it clearly anyway. Chen Youyi glanced at her awkwardly, Qin Ziheng glanced back at her seriously, Qin Huai, a child who didn't understand at all, was smiling happily next to him.

"Why are you all standing on the sidelines, come to your father, and worship your grandparents, so that they can bless you." Mu Xiulian called everyone over, Chen Youyi didn't believe in these feudal superstitions, but she didn't want to break the customs that were very important to the Qin family, so she went over and worshipped.

There was nothing in the afternoon, Qin Ziheng and Qin Huai still wanted to help, but they were kicked out of the kitchen by Mu Xiulian and would go to read. This time they came back and brought a lot of new books to Qin Huai, one for each of the brothers, to see who could read more.

"It's thanks to you." From the kitchen, she could see the opposite window clearly, Mu Xiulian's eyes were withdrawn from her two sons, and she said sincerely: "If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be so much money at home for Qin Huai to go to private school, and you would still take the time to teach your son Heng to read and write." It's all because my family is too poor, I didn't let them go to school before, and I was blind like me. ”

For this, Mu Xiulian felt uncomfortable for half her life, and she always felt sorry for her two children. Chen Youyi could only sniff and snort, not adding fuel to the fire, and taking out the derogatory things about Qin Ziheng. If it weren't for the nonsense of the original owner, the Qin family would have been able to do it a long time ago.

found another topic and diverted this sad matter, Chen Youyi talked about a lot of words in the county town and chatted with emotion, which made Mu Xiulian quickly forget this sad spring and sorrow, and her mouth never closed, either surprised or funny.

Qin Huai had been reading for a long time and his neck was sore, he raised his head and blinked his eyes to relax, and saw that at the kitchen door opposite, his mother and sister-in-law were chatting enthusiastically.

"Big brother, now my sister-in-law has such a good relationship with my mother, but my mother used to see her once, and she had to go home and lie in bed for several days in anger."

Qin Huai is a small person, no matter how young and old he is, he will not always pay attention to proportion when he speaks, and blurt out questions without concealment.

Qin Ziheng knocked on his head and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, you are young, where did you learn this nonsense." But after he taught the little one, he was in the same mood.

Seeing that his mother could accept Chen Youyi, he actually felt a lot more relaxed.

The divorce of his wife decided last year has been separated by a year, and it is like a lifetime, and no one mentions it again. But Qin Ziheng felt that Chen Youyi seemed to be particularly concerned about this matter, and if this matter was not resolved for a day, their relationship would not really break the ice for a day, and they would not be able to go further.

Now that the time is almost right, it's time to put things on the table and make things clear.

Qin Ziheng's gaze was very heavy, or because his pupils were dark, and they always looked dark. I don't know if it's a calm lake or an undercurrent surging tide.

The family has their own thoughts, and their hearts are still much happier, and before the sky is completely dark, they light the lamp and put on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, ready to spend a happy family reunion year.
